Filed Jul 12, 2017 · Airbags · 171,000 miles · FL

"takata recall" we received the notice in may 2016, took the truck to arrigo dodge; they would have to call us when they got the parts in. In november we contacted them, regarding a different recall (tie rod) once again had to wait but they did the driver side air bag. March 2017 they did the air bag.....2 days later the air bag light is on, horn and cruise control does not work and they refuse to repair it; stating that it is the multi-function switch. So we currently have no drivers side airbag. In our attempts to have them fix it they refused and were nasty about it. We attempted to reach a local dodge representative and no one knows who that may be.

First incident my tipm module was replaced due to electrical problems in april 2010, the next incident was on 4/22/12, my brake lights quit working while I was out of town, during this trip I was traveling home, I turned on my cruise control while driving, I hit the brakes and cruise control would not cut off, I finally had to put the truck in neutral and the engine kept revving higher. I was eventually able to get it to turn off . I made it home the next day I took it to a dealership and they are telling me the tipm module has to be replaced again. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed, if my wife or son would have been driving my truck ,I don't think they would've been able to control this situation, this is going to be the second time this module has been replaced, the first time was 743.00 now it is 1060.00 to replace. I have also read online of several incidences of this happening to other 2006 dodge ram owners. After several attempt to talk with some one at dodge concerning this ,I decided to contact this site for this safety issue.

Driving down the interstate/highway at speeds greater than 60 miles an hour, more of an issue when the cruise control is on and there is continuing acceleration. The truck began to rock back and fourth uncontrollably similar to other complaints on the website in which they refer to it as the "death wobble". I even had one instance about 2 months ago when the truck rear tires were lifted off the ground and went back in fourth between two lanes, a gentlemen was forced into the ditch, I approached the gentleman and he commented on the truck and the make and the fact he had heard that it was the dodge death wobble. I have contacted dodge numerous times about the incidents, the latest and greatest from the dealership I contacted blamed it on the state road conditions and there inability to maintain the roads my response to him was then why didn't everyone else's vehicle do that? No response, I even offered to take them on a ride but no one seemed to enthused about that. After investigating the comments on forums and everything eventually lead me here. I have had similar issues in over 20 occurrences I want to sale the vehicle but how do you from an ethical standpoint knowing the person buying the vehicle could possibly be in a box shortly there after. I'm curious to know how many people have died from this?

2006 dodge ram 2500, july 20, 2009, power control module failure on highway with cruise control at 70 MPH. Car would not stop, cruise would not disengage. Depressed the brakes so hard that they smoked and burned. Towed to dealer and power module replaced. Is this not the toyota problem? Saw 5 complaints here out of 81 that could be related to the same issue.
