Winding noise at low speed also have problem with head light it don't turn on (driver side ) directional door for a/c heather broken.

While driving at night it is extremely difficult to see and I have had many near miss incidents where brighter lights would have prevented such situations. When reported to Dodge they said this is a common known issue and that I should report it. The dimness of the lights is unacceptable and extremely dangerous which makes me uncomfortable when driving at night with my family or friends.

I had just stopped my truck in front of my garage and, with my foot on the brake, shifted into the park gear position. Suddenly the engine began to race and my foot on the brake peddle went to the floor as if I had no brakes at all. I took my foot off of the break peddle and the engine leaped forward through my garage door. I hit the brakes immediately and came to a screeching stop. I put the truck in reverse but it would not engage. A neighbor came and asked if I needed help. I asked him to try backing out of the garage for me. He took my place behind the wheel and shifted into reverse with the same result. He asked me if I had the emergency brakes on because the truck would not move. I told him no and when he attempted to use reverse again the gears engaged and he backed the truck out of the garage for me.

Right low beam fails to light. Bulb has been replaced. Socket is good. Failure is in tipm. Appears to be a common problem in 06 to 08 Dodge trucks. Dealer charge $750 to $900 to replace and reprogram tipm unit. This is an extravagant charge for an item that should last the life of the vehicle.

Trucks all over road when hitting rough patch. The bed is rusting bad no excuse.

Having several electrical issue with my Dodge truck. Not all power windows and autolock work and have to replace the bulbs for the brakes and turning signal about every 6 months. Already replaced the bracket where the bulbs go. Plus seen several complains on the dashboards cracking like my truck has and Dodge won't have a recall nor fix this issue.

Passenger side head lamp failure. Both high & low beam will randomly go off and working intermittently. Common problem posted among 2009+ Dodge ram owners. Caused by faulty ground wiring.

Poor lighting under any conditions. Lighting is not focused and has little or no effect on illuminating the drive path. A standard flash light produces more lighting. This is very unsafe for night driving. All Dodge ram owners of this year have the same complaint.

When turning left and signal is applied, the right blinker comes on inside & outside and when right signal is applied nothing happens inside or outside.

When the blinker is turned on, the opposite side blinks, or none at all. The wiper doesn't wipe at all times. These are unsafe driving conditions.

The multi-function switch, intermittently, when you push down to make a left turn goes to flash on the right side or visa versa if you sometimes hit the high beams it resume to normal but you have to play with it to make it work properly very dangerous afraid of getting into accident or being pulled over by law enforcement. Also, it functions fine 30% of the time but the rest of the time it functions as described above or not at all.

Dashboard began cracking and caving in. Large and small pieces have fallen into the dash area. Soon after, I noticed that several times I have tried using my high beams, and will lose my headlamps, and the high beams don't come on either. Didn't think they were related but recently have heard and read of several other owners who have experienced the same problem with their Dodge rams that have broken dashboards. Some have other electrical problems in the dash too. I also now have significant wind whistle coming from the front windshield unless I leave a window cracked or vent open when travelling highway speeds. Suspect it is from loss of structural rigidity due to collapsed dash.

2006 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab. 132000 km. Indicated left but right indicator light came. Now also both sides flash intermittently when indicating either direction. Nearly had a major accident when following vehicle misintepreted my intentions and just missed overtaking me on the wrong side. I understand several other cases of this have been reported on this vehicle and should be a n urgent safety recall!.

My 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 is having issues with the signals and wipers. Serious problem when I am driving in the rain and my left blinker says I'm turning right and vice versa. Wipers not working at all. I was caught in the rain today and manually had to flip my wipers and signals almost caused a wreck.

The blinkers on my truck either won't turn on, or when they do turn on, they blink the opposite direction that I am actually turning. Sometimes the blinkers won't turn off at all. This is definitely a safety hazard.

My husband has a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. He is in iraq and only home every 4 months. I do not drive his truck except to the mail box and back once a week to keep the battery going. About 6 months ago the wipers did not want to work. It was not all the time. We thought maybe a glitch. Then it was the blinkers. Sometimes they would not come on at all and others the opposite blinker would come on. But since he is only home for 2 weeks and it would only happen once or twice we didn't think about it. Now the wipers will not come on at all and when you turn the left blinker on the right one comes on. I did not realize it until I was nearly hit by some one trying to pass me on my left while I was trying to make a left turn. I got online to see if there was already a recall for this and saw there are many people with this same complaint. The only TSB I can find is for the Dodge ram 3500. Also when driving over 50mph the truck will shake violently when you press the brakes. The harder you have to press the brakes the harder the truck shakes. We have replaced the brake pads, calipers, and had the rotors turned. This is costing too much money for maybes and it is scary when you are on the high way in rush hour traffic when this starts happening.

When u turn the signals on they go the opposite way or completely go off it causes the break lights to go out as well this is a major safty issue and can result in a crash this should have been recalled along time ago why havnt you done anything I my self feel this is a major safty issue it gives everyone a false direction and results "wreck" I have had multiple incidents with this it happens frequently I have replaced bulbs and it is not the problem the problem is in the factory screw up.

The interior light stays on for mere seconds, then shuts off. This is the interior light that turns on when the door is opened or the push button to turn on is pushed. After a few seconds, the light shutsvoff.

Driving down I-90 one night to work and was pulled over by sheriff. He tells me my running lights are not working and you could not see me. I've tried contacting Dodge and im always on hold for like an hour. Can't find problem with lights. Checked all the fuses and relays all of them are fine.

Front light module failed at 37,122 miles, front lights failed with no advance notice. Part was order by the Dodge dealer, they didn't have it in stock, 1 and 1/2 month waiting for part and was not covered by warranty.

Driver side low beam head light does not work. Bulb replaced, continued to not be operational. Took to Chrysler/Dodge deal, who connected a 'code' reader which indicated the problem was the tipm. Tipm was not replaced due to cost & the vehicle was out of warranty due to mileage.

Several years after I bought my Dodge 1500 ram truck about 2008 the dash started falling apart and the blend door stoped working every Dodge dealer I took it to said there was nothing they could do.

On my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 I hit a pot hole in the road I thought that it just blowed the bulb I replaced the bulb that did not help the light burns on high beam but not low beam mechanic told me it could be the control module have not replaced pot hole should have not caused that to malfuntion. Problem is still there. Also heater /ac blower motor went out now I have one speed and that's high speed I replaced the motor.
