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. . .

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?.

6 Defogger problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2010

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.
