general problems of the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. During the failure, the power steering and power braking system became inoperable. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet contacted or notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.

The camshaft is defective and prematurely wearing down due to the lifters. Causing a warning code to come on give a p0300 code and and check engine light to flash at a random mulitipule misfire to come up will cause the truck to die at times causing a crash. Luckily I was able to park it before that happened and now can't drive it because of the saftey hazzard.

Owner of j. P. Direct auto sales in florence, ky sold me a vehicle with odometer discrepancies. The owner sold the vehicle at a little over 133,000 miles but the odometer has never rolled over since I drove the truck off the lot. Furthermore, a mechanic performed an engine light reading that indicated an issue tripped around 146,000 miles. The owner is not owning up to the odometer discrepancy and making returning the truck very difficult.

About 2 1/2 years ago I was driving my truck on a state highway travelling around 55 to 60 mph when the engine suddenly died. Of course my power steering no longer worked but I was able to pull off the road. This was a scary situation that could have turned out very badly. Luckily, I was in a spot where I could pull over. This particular highway doesn't have a lot of shoulder area. I turned the key off and turned it back on and the truck started back up and everything was fine. This happened a couple of more times when I was travelling on the highway at higher speeds and also driving on a city street at lower speeds. I took it to my mechanic and he connected a code reader and based on the codes it was showing he changed both the cam shaft position sensor and the crank shaft position sensor but the engine continued to die while the vehicle was in motion. The last time it happened was on 1/21/2018 on the same state highway except that this time it didn't want to start back up. I had it towed to a different mechanic and he ran compression tests that showed very little compression on one side of the engine and no compression on the other side. He said he wouldn't be able to tell me what was wrong with it until he opened the engine which would cost several hundred dollars and then who knows how much after the problem was determined. I have not had the money to do that so it has been sitting at the mechanic's garage for the past 2 1/2 years. Every other mechanic I talked to said that I should just go ahead and replace the engine, which I cannot afford to do. They said 2006 was one of the worst years for the Dodge ram engine. When it died it was 11 years old but had less than 110,000 miles on it.

2006 Dodge Ram 1500. Vehicle would shut down while driving. Engine would crank but not turn over. Mechanic had to tear into engine to find the problem. Rods bent, valve sticking, timing chain jump. Basically the engine was shot. Repair cost $3,000. 00. It appears that a lot of other people have the same problem and it cannot be diagnosed without tearing into the engine. Also turn signal would blink opposite of where turning. Dodge needs to do something about this. These are safety issues! I would like to be reimbursed my costs. Mileage on vehicle: 158,000. Interesting enough, I have a 2001 Dodge ram that has over 307,000 miles on it and never had this problem.

The vehicle violently shakes upon encountering any bump at speeds ranging from 65 to 75 mph. Speed must be dramatically reduced in order to regain control of the steering. Motor failed prematurely at 87000 miles. 5. 7 hemi.

After getting off work around 11:30 p. M. I went to gas up at a chevron station. I left the station and went to the atm. After leaving the atm I got back into my vehicle it cranked, went dead and would not start again . I had the truck tow to a shop and according to the mechanic the valve fell from the engine . Now according to mechanic this is an ongoing problem with Dodge. I am concerned because the only major trouble I've had with this vehicle is getting spark plugs. If this is an ongoing problem then my 2014 Dodge that I have purchased will do the same time.

Driving down the road the engine all of the sudden without warning shuts down completely . And I have only about 1 min to pull over before steering and brakes go out.

Intaque valve seat fell out of cilinder head, breaking piston top, rendering the engine useless.

Will driving on the highway the truck completely shut off and died. I was not able to safely menuver the to the road and was almost rearended by the vehicle behind me. I had to get out of the truck and push it across 2 lanes of traffic to get it off the road. After further investigation I found that the tipm in 2006 Dodge trucks are bad. There has been no recall to date and this is an extreme safety liablility. This is the first Dodge I have owned and I just purchased the vehicle 3 weeks ago. I will never own another Dodge, Chrysler or Jeep vehicle as long as live. I have researched on the internet through multiple blogs and found that very many people have experianced the same issue some not as fortunate as me and were actually involved in bad car accidents do to this same problem.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, the engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact maneuvered to the side of the road and then exited the vehicle quickly. The vehicle became engulfed into flames and the fire department extinguished the fire. The vehicle was completely destroyed and towed to a savage facility. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.

Truck dies when in drive at low speeds. Also when in gear when stopped. And when shifting from park to drive or reverse.

2006 Dodge Ram 1500 currently has 63,000 miles. Has had the front struts replaced 3 times, motor was replaced, transmission has been replaced, rack and pinion has been replaced, ball joints have been replaced countless times, tie rods have been replaced, wheel bearings have been replaced approx a yr ago and are defective again. Currently waiting for them since there on nationwide back order the dealership claims. All of these have been under warranty. But I have spent countless $$$ on tires and having to rent a vehicle while this on is in the garage constantly.

The problem started in 2009. Went to drive the truck and could not get the truck to drive over 20 mph. Was able to get it to a dealer close by and had to have the throttle body positioning sensor replaced. Since that date I have had to have this same sensor changed 8 more times. Each time the private mechanic talks to Chrysler and they recognize there is a faulty problem with this part and will not recall the item. When this sensor goes out it will not let you drive more than about 20mph. Also had to replace the accelerated pedal positioning sensor 4 times. Blinker problems noted by many other consumers I have also had. Where you turn on the left blinker and the right blinker comes on. As well as the a/c problem many consumers have mentioned the door breaks and then all you have is outside air coming in. My mechanic has tried to get replacement parts from Chrysler to repair the problem and Chrysler does not sell this part (please explain to me how they can make the vehicle and not sell the part to repair it when it breaks knowing it breaks often). Tie rods have also been a problem with my truck. No matter how tight they are they continue to come loose even after being replaced and then the truck will shake. My main concern at this point is it intermittently will die while driving down the highway. It will start right back up but will die again and then it wont duplicate the problem for 2 or 3 days and then will do it again. Have not been able to diagnose this problem yet. If anyone knows any suggestions to look at please advise.
