I purchased my 2006 dodge 2500 4x4 brand new in 2006. My truck is in great condition except for two major concerns..my A/C went out in dec. 2010 it was replaced with another defective one which was immediately replaced again. Dealer did not replace the flapper under dash. I took truck in nov. 2011 the windshield would get extremely foggy and a noise would come from under dash when I put A/C on high, dealer said it was the flap that would control where the air is directed. They wanted 800.00 to replace a 34.00 part. I told them that should have been fixed when they replaced A/C. Dealer said it still would not be covered under warranty anyway. This is a serious issue when fog gets on windshield why does someone have to die before a part is recalled. I have to open my windows to defrost my windshield. The other issue is when truck is supposedly in park and you open the door the horn honks, dash lights turn on and off and twice it has jumped into reverse on it's own. The first time I was at the post office putting mail outside I was a bit to far from box so I put it in park, opened door jumped off and truck jumped into reverse luckily I'm a small person and was able to jump in and step brake. This has happened about three times. The park does not engage properly because at heb I put it in park turn off truck went in store came back to turn on truck. It wouldn't start and it was in park. I had to put it in neutral to start it. Another customer came to see what was wrong I tried to put it in park again and it wouldn't go after about to more attempts it went into park I took it to dealer and they could not duplicate problem so nothing was done. I have reported it here so if something happens at least it was reported, if dodge doesn't do anything they will if more people see that others are having the same problem.
Turn signals do not work properly. When you put on your left turn signal it will light up as a right turn signal often and same when you put on your right turn signal the left will light up. Most of the time however my turn signals will not even come on. This has almost caused several accidents its really bad when I am pulling trailers. In rain storms and snow storms my windshield wipers will occasionally just stop and only have 1 speed which is slow.... I have had to pull over alot and just wait for my windshield wipers to work again.
The turn signal switch the opposite of what has been selected on the steering column. If the left turn is selected the right turn lights come on and indicate you are making a right turn. The high beam switch does not always work. The wipers are not reliable either.
When driving in rain at a safe speed, wipers would not come on, and then the wipers would start and stop working. When I switched on a turn blinker, both blinkers began to flash. Our local dodge dealership says there on back order 4,000 of this part required to fix this problem. There have been complaints about this since 2009. Does it take a loss of life for a recall to take place?
I have a 2006 dodge mega cab that I have had since new. I had to have the multifunction switch replaced at 40,000 miles almost two years ago, now after driving it almost another 20,000 miles it is doing the same thing. Is there a recall on this part or do I have any recourse to get this replaced again? This is very dangerous as you never know when it is going to happen. The blinkers will flash the wrong way and the wipers might work or they might not or they may come on when the blinkers are on. This is very distracting when you are in a lot of traffic. Please help. Thank you.
I was half way to my destination driving on a busy highway at 75mph pulling both my horses and my three horse trailer in a rain storm when the wipers sporadically stopped working. On the high setting they went to low, then stopped, then started again going fast, then completely quit posing a serious hazard to myself, my animals, and all around me on the highway. I was able to move over onto the shoulder and wait it out a while until I could attempt to complete my trip. With so many complaints I don't understand why this hasn't been recalled. I have replaced the wiper motor which only made the wipers move very slowly. There is still a problem, likely quite expensive, which will need to be fixed. My truck is driven very sparingly and had only 75000 miles at the time of wiper failure.
I own a 2006 dodge ram 2500 megacab with 5.9 diesel engine. The agency has received three reports of improper turn signal function. The complainants report that moving the turn signal stalk to signal a left turn can result in no flashing of the left turn signal but improper flashing of the right turn signal. Likewise the same opposite improper operation occurs when moving the turn signal stalk to signal a right turn. The incorrect flashing signal appears at both the dashboard indicator light and at the exterior front and rear turn signal lighting positions. There are many complaints related to this issue on the web and it is very dangerous. Please advise.
Wipers fail to turn on or get stuck on intermediate, turn signals work on the opposite side that you place them, when you put the right turn signal on the left works. Sometime you can't switch the headlight from bright to dim or vice versa.
Turn signal malfunction, activate the left signal and the right turns on. Activate the right signal and nothing happens. Sometimes when the left is activated both signals work like hazard flashers.
During the first year of ownership an intermittent malfunction of hazard flashers and turn signals began . On occasion, the hazard flashers and the turn signals will not flash. At times, the turn signals will not cancel. At times, left and right will flash when only one direction is selected. Finally, on occasion, the right or left will flash when the opposite is selected. This creates a hazardous situation when I'm executing a turn as other drivers do not know my intentions and I've angered some and had two near miss accidents. I've not had need for my 4-way flashers, but when I test them at the time of the signal malfunction, they do not function. This can be extremely hazardous in an emergency road side event. When the problem first occurred under warranty, I took the truck to the dealer and they re-programmed the ECM. This eliminated the problem for the remainder of the warranty. Subsequently, it has gradually returned. I am not alone with this issue. Please visit the following link: http://vlane.com/discuss-topic/1336/2006-dodge-ram-turn-signal-problem.
Turn signal will either not work or show the wrong side flashing (have almost been rear-ended), wipers wouldn't work properly or at all (go very slow or not move at all when on, causing me not being able to see when it's raining hard). Flashers won't turn on at all. Happens every time I need my flashers, wipers, and blinkers. Replaced the multi-function switch and all of the problems above are fixed. I still have the old switch and I have heard it's a common problem.
I own a 2006 dodge ram 2500 truck with approximately 57000 miles on it and it started acting erratically with the lights and wipers and now the battery completely goes dead. We have replaced the battery and checked for drain on the battery. In spite of turning everything off and unplugging anything which would cause a drain on the electrical system it still made a new battery go dead. It is very dangerous to drive it when the wipers act so funny and the dimmer switch fails to lower the beams. It would seem that the only solution is to take it to the dealer at a considerable expense to see what is wrong. The manufacturer should investigate and repair any defect in materials for the truck with that few miles on it.
Tl* the contact owns 2006 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that the turn signal was defective and would illuminate sporadically without being activated. The dealer was notified of the failure and diagnosed that the multifunction switch needed repairs. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 57,500 and the current mileage was 60,000.
2500 2006 dodge truck, multifunction switch controls wiper function will stop working during rainstorms while driving, resulting in a dangerous safety hazard, dodge needs to have a recall now! I have had 2 near misses!
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that the turn signals would provide erroneous warning indications. The air conditioner was also inoperable. The contact inspected the vehicle himself and located the failure at the power control module. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 120,000 and the current mileage 150,000.
The turn signal light will sometimes not work or work by itself, the wind shield wipers will some times not work, the truck has 200,000 miles on it the problem at this stage has not be corrected.
Tpim failure causing loss of trailer brake controller lights and trailer lights stay on after key is turned off. There hasn't been an accident as of 4/12/11.
2006 dodge 2500. When turning on the left turn signal, both indicators on the dash will flicker and the right indicator on the vehicle will actually be working instead of the left. This happens on a regular basis when driving this vehicle. It is now that I do not utilize turn signals for fear that vehicles will mis interpret intentions and cause vehicle accident. Went to dealer and they are aware of issue recommending turn switch.
Trying to merg onto a highway in the rain my vehicles blinkers, light adjustment, and windshield wipers would not activate. This event didn't result in an accident but is a dangerous result of a poorly designed multi-function switch that controls blinkers and windsheild wipers. This problem has occured previously but not to the extent for myself or other to come into harm as it did today.
The right turn signal switch was turned on to the right and after the turn it would not shut off. I was able to get it to shut off by switching on the emergency flashers. Throughout the next few days this occurred muliple times and each time the blinkers would not shut off. I was finally able to get the blinkers to shut off by changing the angle of the adjustable steering column.
Air bag light came on after owning the vehicle for 2.5 years. The warranty don't cover the cost of replacing the module.
The left turn signal activates the opposite or both left and right turn signals.
Tl. The contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated the tipm has malfunctioned causing every electrical component not to work. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer and the dealer stated the tipm needs to be replaced. The contact has not had the tipm replaced. The dealer does not know what caused the tipm to malfunction. The contact stated there is know way of telling if the new tipm will not malfunction while driving. The contact stated there are numerous complaints regarding the tipm and a recall should be issued. The failure mileage was 185,000. Jo
2006 dodge 2500 / turn signal problems.
Turn signal intermittently fails or signals the opposite direction.
I have 2006 dodge ram 2500 trx4, I started having problems with my rt rear turn signal approx 2 months ago. Thought it was bulb, wasn't! I took truck to local auto electric shop, was told on dec 14th, 2010 that the problem was the entire fuse block that controls the turn signals. He called dodge dealer and was told that the part would run over $700 and that there were 200 already on back-order! Now, jan 3rd, 2011 when I push on brake the rt rear light flickers/flashes as if the turn signal is working. I don't believe that $700 plus labor is acceptable from dodge, and even if I ordered the part they can't tell me when it would deliver due to large back log on them. It seems to me that there is a major issue and I think that there should be a recall issued by dodge.
2006 dodge ram 2500 turn signals don't work part time and part time turn on the wrong signal like turn on left and it turns on the right, also the wipers won't turn on some times and then won't turn on past slow wipe, when you turn on the brights it turns on the washer and wipers, I understand this is the same switch, the multifunction switch, dodge has redesigned it now twice according to a dealer but has not recalled it and charges high dollars to fix it up to $700.00 this is a safety issue and should have been recalled years ago what is the hang up for the recall?
This has accured several times, while using turn signals.while driving I turn on the left signal and the right one seems to come on and then at times they will just all blink on and off. Then at other times while using the turn signals. The lights go fast then goes out. I feel this is a important and major saftey feature of this vehicle/ truck. I went and ask the local dodge dealer service advisor about this problem. The advisor said he never heard of it. And further that warranty was out at 36000 miles. I was in the belief . That safety items on new vehicles were covered for 5 years 100000 miles... This problem will cause a accident. The ? Is when...please recall this problem before someone gets hurt while turning due to the from a faulty turn signal that hes been found on the 2006 dodge ram pick up.
