I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt that when you turn the left turn signal on the right turn signal flashes. When you turn the windshield wipers on the fastest speed is delay. The problem was happening once in awhile now it is happening on a daily basis. Took it to a dodge dealership they couldn't find any problem but did change the multifunction switch.
2006 Dodge RAM 1500 visibility complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 65 of 65, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Purchased a new 2006 dodge quad cap at 33,000 miles the turn signal switch malfunctioned (if you signal to turn right the left signal would come on, and vise-versa, high beam would not turn off after getting it turned on, windshield wipers, would turn while signaling, and stop periodically during rain storms). The dealer replaced the faulty switch, and at 54,000 miles the switch malfunctioned again, and is doing same things.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving 55 MPH, the contact engaged the front windshield defroster and there was a lack of air circulation. The contact had to pull off the roadway to wipe the windshield off and repeated twice throughout her travel. The dealer advised that the heater box door was fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 58,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the contact attempted to engage the left turn signal but it did not respond. The failure had become intermittent and when engaging the turn signals either the opposite turn signal would illuminate or neither would function. He also stated that the windshield wiper would not operate intermittently. The vehicle was not examined for the cause of failure and was not repaired. The contact stated that the multifunction switch was previously replaced to correct the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was 55,000.
My 2006 dodge ram 1500 is having issues with the signals and wipers. Serious problem when I am driving in the rain and my left blinker says I'm turning right and vice versa. Wipers not working at all. I was caught in the rain today and manually had to flip my wipers and signals almost caused a wreck.
I have a 2006 dodge ram quad cab and recently the turn signal / wiper switch has been acting up. Quite often when I push down to turn the left turn signal on the right comes on and there are times when no turn signal comes on at all. I was almost rear-ended because of this. Also sometimes the wipers will not come out of intermittent no matter what setting I have them on. Again this almost caused an accident because during a heavy rainstorm all that I could get to work was intermittent. I have read online of other 2006 dodge ram owners having these same issues. This is a huge safety concern and should be recalled.
Here in texas some days tend to be hotter then others from time 2 time... I have a fully loaded 2006 dodge ram 1500 that I honestly enjoy driving; although my problems begins with that [xxx] blending door... Cool A/C air only blows from the driver side which inreturn leaves my passenger side warm... Not good when I got a lil honey on that side asking me why I'm not sweating like she is... The part is only $43 bucks to replace. And it's been replaced 3 times already. Cheap ass plastic.... Also the rubber sealing around the sunroof isn't thick enough to with stand the opening and closing for a long period of time..go figure... Something needs to be done asap or dodge might find alot of there vehicles on the side of the rode behind plain bs.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact engaged the window defroster but no air would blow from the air vents. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and advised the vehicle was operating as designed. The contact stated the failure was present from the date of purchase. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,000 and the current mileage was 19,000.
Heater door broken and made defrosting very slow. This appears to be a constant problem on dodge trucks etc.
The A/C won't blow on 1, 2 or 3, only on high and I've heard this from other owners who own the dodge ram bighorn. Our vehicle s a 2006 with only 33,690 which we just purchased from the dodge dealership located in merritt island florida. We purchased this vehicle 5 days ago and the A/C was working fine, pulled up in our driveway last night and just stopped working. My husband went through the low to high settings and the only setting it will work on is high. In researching this on the internet, we've seen this complaint on this vehicle over and over. Has dodge put out a recall on this model yet?
While driving on the interstate a few weeks ago, my windshield fogged over. Unbeknownst to me the recirculation door on my '06 dodge ram 1500 truck had broken. Because the broken door blocked the airflow for the defroster, I could not clear the fog from the windshield. I was extremely lucky that I was able to roll the driver's side window down in time to keep from rear-ending the car in front of me. When I took the truck to the local dodge dealer, they indicated that this is a very common problem for certain ram trucks. As a matter of fact, the dealer also said that they keep the "newly designed" housings in stock to ensure that they can meet the demand for the repairs.
Air no longer blows out of defroster. Windows fog up.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the h back blend air door failed. The contact was no longer able to control the air flow to the windshield. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The dealer advised that the replacement h back blend air door was not covered under the vehicle warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.
Hvac system blend air door failed. Preventing control of air to windshield during inclement weather conditions.
1) the windshield wiper module assembly and fluid froze. That in turn shorted out the totally integrated power module (main computer) was told fcm internal fault needs tipm. Do not have windshield wiper fluid. 2) 1-27-10 heater/defroster quit working. Had to replace the blower motor assembly. When replacing found a broken door in the motor assembly. Have not replaced the door. 3) very bad front end vibration. Was just told that both bearings need to be replaced. 4) check engine light with code need exhaust gas recirculation system valve.
2006 dodge ram 1500 windows have frost,ice,or fog on them making it impossible to see to drive safely. The dealership's estimate is for $850.00 to replace a blender door with a new 2007 door because the original unit breaks to easily.
A recall is definitely in order here for the cabin air blend door breaking, 2006 through 2002 models have had a large number of complaints filed and in 2006 had the most filed yet in 2007 zero complaints filed for this problem , let me explain why. I contacted daimler chrysler filed a complaint and got nowhere, they just don't care about their bad design, or stand behind their product!! I will never buy a product from them again. The air box has an opening with one tab protruding out so when the blend door closes it stops at the tab, well the tab isn't strong enough to receive the impact of the door slamming it and breaks off thus jamming closed or falling off, the engineers at delmar chrysler figured this out and engendered a new box with two tabs so it wont break yet the service dept at the dealers keep replacing the doors and not the entire box (because it's a bigger more expensive job) and that's why some people have had it fixed several times, because they are not fixing it correctly so in turn you then are out of warranty and now it cost the consumer to fix this expensive poorly engineered box that they know is a design flaw.sad, very sad. Daimler chrysler put this newly designed box in their 2007 and newer models and have not one complaint, so why wont they recall these bad design boxes and broken blend doors (which are the number one biggest problem with the 2006 trucks) and put their newly engineered boxes-blend doors in the trucks at their expense not the consumer, delmer chrysler knows they have a bad design and still wont own up to it, we the consumer need to flood their phones until they fix this poorly engineered very expensive problem that they created until they recall it. This problem is a safety issue because you cannot control where the air flow is going like the windshield for visibility in foggy or snowy conditions,forced to pul over cant see, thank you in advance for taking the time and effort putting pressure on them to correct their mistake.
Blend door for the heating and defroster keeps breaking. I,ve had this replaced twice.
There has be a number of occasions this has happened about probably 100 times but paid not much attention until this winter. The turn signal level is also used to turn on the wipers on the vehicle. The problem arises when the vehicle lights are turned on, the wipers are on, and the turn signal are turned on. For no reason the turn signal from the opposite side of the vehicle is the one that operates. Normally when you are turning to the right the turn signal does not turn on and the left side signal turn on. In order to alleviate this problem I have to turn the wipers off completely. This causes a problem because this impairs visibility an also is giving other drivers the wrong signals. I have no idea what caused this issue but since I reside in the state of virginia it is a requirement that when it rains you must turn your lights and wipers this has caused me a problems since I depend on this vehicle and when it snows or rain I cannot operate the vehicle. I am taking the vehicle to the dodge dealer tomorrow to see what is the problem. I have not caused any accidents. Some drivers had got aggravated since some times I give them the wrong turn signals. The incidents have occurred many times in the last 8 months and I have noted that is getting more frequent since we have got more snow and rain in the north east I whish I can provide specific dated but it has happened so many times that I got tired of it and I am taking the vehicle to the dealer tomorrow. I am putting today as the most current date.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the heating and air conditioning system has malfunctioned. The blend door broke that the controls the air flow. The dealer informed the contact that there was not a problem with the case door and that the manufacturer will not be responsible for the repairs. The contact is concerned about the safety risks since this the case door controls the defroster and is impossible for the contact to see out of the windows when the defroster malfunctions. The failure mileage was 55,000. Updated 2/1/10 *cn updated 02/02/10.
Blend door failure (HVAC) on 2006 dodge ram. Renders the HVAC systems in-op, no air flow through the ducts (no heat, no defogging, no A/C). This a design issue that has plagued dodge for numerous years in the rams series of trucks. Chyrsler has chosen not to correct this is an perform a recall. Repair is not covered under warranty and is quite expensive, $800-$2000 depending on local labor rates.
All control of defroster, heat and A/C was lost. Fan continued to operate with no way to clear windshield, heat or cool truck. Dodge had knowledge of failure and update to correct. This was not covered under the factory warantee and is a safty issue as far as I am concerned. You must be able to see thru the windshield to drive.
2006 dodge ram 1500 with several problems. Consumer states that the vehicles main rear engine seal blown. Multi hemi motor has no power. Brakes have been replaced twice, wheel bearings were replaced due to a recall, plus other recalls were fixed. *kb the ABS had a minor vibration when the brakes were applied hard. The consumer had air condition, stereo and heater problems.
In regards to the windshield wipers: they will either not turn on at all or they will stop working while in use. At other times, my turn signals will not work. I have brought my 2007 dodge ram to the dealership to have this issue resolved, but have not had any success in their admitting to or fixing the problem.
Dt*: the contact stated that the rear window had leaked during raining conditions. Mold began to grow in the vehicle because the problem was discovered two months after the incident occurred. The dealership has replaced the rear window and installed a new track.
