Five problems related to engine cooling system have been reported for the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2006 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v701000 (engine and engine cooling); however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
At 26,000 miles the blend door for the air system broke (part # 68004226-ab). This caused the vents to be stuck in one position and could not get the defrost to work which became a safety issue since I could not defrost/defog the windshield. The part was replaced under warranty. I am now at 52,000 miles and the same part needs to be repaired again. This time out of warranty and at a cost of $740.
My recirculation door on my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 broke the other night for no reason other then adjusting the ac controls. It seems that this seems to be a common problem caused by the recirculation door actuator putting to much torque on the plastic door. I only have 6,00 miles on the truck right now.
Air conditioning, will not blow cold air inside the cabin, a lot of noise but no air. Dealer fixed it. Flapper got stock in the down position. Not under warranty.
Air conditioner does not perform correct speeds are to slow 3rd speed feels like 1st and water leaks on floor in front floorboards I think something came loose please let me know of any defects.
