40 problems related to turn signal have been reported for the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving approximately between 45-50 mph proceeding to change lanes, the contact engaged the left turn signal but the right turn signal responded. In addition, the same failure occurred when using the right turn signal. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer twice where the battery cable was disconnected and then reconnected. Also, the computerized system was updated. Both faulty turn signals continued to malfunction. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.
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.
Turn signals began to randomly blink on either side (or both sides) regardless which directional signal was being used. Code reader at dealership showed problem with tipm.

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500trx4. I have a serious issue with my blinkers and windshield wipers. If I turn my left blinker on, my right blinkers comes on a few times, then my left a few times, then both, and next they don't work at all. It is the same result if I turn on my left blinker, while all of this is happening my windshield wipers come on and it usually washes my windshield. It happens 9 out of 10 times I try to use a turn signal. The issue started back in March of 07 but happened very rarely, lately it is happening more frequently. This is a very serious safety issue and Chrysler will not do anything about it. I have read many complaints online about this issue. Should this not be a recall?.
