Two problems related to engine belts and pulleys have been reported for the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have two complaints. I will start with the serious one first. While driving my 2006 Dodge ram truck down the interstate, it suddenly shut down. I had no power steering. This was a very dangerous situation trying to steer over to the emergency lane. Once over I put the vehicle in park, and it started up, like nothing happen. This happen twice within 2years. I see that the same complaint was filed by another Dodge owner(#10270010). Im taking my truck to the dealer tomorrow to see what the problem is. The second complaint is the rear middle seat belt locks up and will not release. I see this is also a problem with other owners. Complaint #'s 10248480, and 10237215. These problems, especially the first should put on a recall list.
: the contact stated on several occasions, the rear left safety belt tightened so tightly that the passenger was choked. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer who was unable to determine the problem. The vehicle also stalled completely upon starting and removing pressure from the brake pedal but restarted after 45 minutes. The vehicle was again taken to the service dealer who was unable to duplicate the problem. The manufacturer was contacted, but did not provide any follow-up information.
