My blinker lever does not work properly. When I use the left turn signal it started to blink to the right. Throughout the rest of the day it would do this intermittently. I was going down a heavy traffic area and used my left turn signal. A car two lanes over slightly behind me starting honking their horn at me because it was attempting to go one lane over to the right. We both tried to go into the middle lane at the same time and I initially thought it was the other driver's fault. I looked at my blinker lever and I did have it in the correct position for a left signal. I then looked at my light display for the blinker and it was flashing to the right. My wife told me about this happening before without me in the vehicle but this I finally got to experience it myself. If it wasnt for my awareness and the other vehicle honking their horn, then we would have collided. Ever since that day I experienced it myself, I have noticed it happening more frequently now. Sometimes I use the blinker lever and I get no turn signal at all anymore except for pressing the lever harder down or up. I am now more concerned about correct turn signals coming from the lever and it takes away from my situational awareness while driving.
No air from ac vents - defective design of recirculating door.
The turn signal on 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 fails on daily basis. Turn signal to left and it turns on right signal. Push indicator forward for bright lights and it turns on windshield washer and wipers. This issue has been going on for approximately two months, daily.
When I put my left turn signal on, sometimes the right blinker comes on. There is also an issue with the windshield wipers not turning to high speed.
Truck was involved in pass side front crash, resulting in pass wheel seperating from truck, since truck was repaired heater deflector does not work correctly to blow heat and or defrost correctly, ins wants proof it happened in accident. No inside of truck damaged dealer say can not prove. Deflector broke during collision with tree, was working before accident, maybe deployment of airbag caused ? there is a problem with deflectors now windows ae steaming up vision is impaired, and no heat on feet are, very dangerous situation.
The defrost portion of the hvac unit does not work and has only worked intermitantly for several years. At first I could not get any air on the feet position, but thought this was just low air flow. The defrost now does not work and doesnt matter what position I have the unit on, floor, defrost etc. This to me is a safety issue and I see numerous complaints regarding the same issue. I dont believe it has ever worked properly. When you need the defrost, it is usually out of concern for visility. This is a safety concern for many other ram owners.
Recirculation door on heating/cooling system broke off inside duct work and was resting on the blower fan of 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 2x2 mega cab. Cannot use defrost mode because broken door is retricting air flow. Seems to be a common proble with 2003-2008 Dodge ram trucks. Truck has 65,000 mile and is out of warranty. Dealer wants 1,200. 00 dollars to repair. I had another policy that covered the whole cost of repair. Policy runs out 2013 or 125,000 miles which ever comes first. Love my truck though!.
Well some times the wipers will not work or do not work properly and the signals are completely different than chosen it does this most all the time I can press forward on the switch lever sometimes and get it to work properly but sometimes it does not.
