Brake Light On problems of the 2006 Dodge Ram 2500

Upon restarting my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel, my abs light and parking brake light came on after driving a few short moments ,I also noticed that speedometer indicator was not working but the vehicle rpm indicator was. Causing myself some concern I checked my brakes and noticed I had a hard brake pedal when applied but was still able to stop. I contacted my local dealership and took my vehicle in for service for this issue and recall notice concerning the drivers air bag inflator. I was contacted back by my service adviser, asking for approval for additional two hours of diagnoses time due to the fact his mechanic could not find the problem. I was notified at end of the day that the issue was found to be faulty power distribution center, output failed for circuit f202 unable to recover tipm thru reconfiguration. No pdc available thru parts at this time, fabricated jumper lead to to circuit f202 from fuse 28 in pdc. This is a temporary fix customer advised to replace pdc ASAP current price $917. 00 additional 1. 5 hrs labor to install and program unit . Total hours for diagnosis was 3 hours at a cost of $315. 00 to customer. I believe this should investigated by the NHTSA as a on going concern and for consideration of a issuing a new safety recall for this issue.

Tl- the contact owns a Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that the vehicle turn signals and brake light have malfunctioned on the trailers being attached on the vehicle. The failure had no warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failure happened at any speed. The problem occurred 3 years ago and the vehicle was taken to a dealer where they diagnosed that the amperage was incorrect and needed to be reset. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not the notified of the failure. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 83,000. Kh.

The date listed is the first instance, today, March 3, 2015 was the 2nd, while driving towing a trailer and trying to come to a stop simultaneously the electric trailer brakes failed to energize pushing the truck into a skid and the abs failed to function, upon further investigation we found that the brake lights on both the truck and trailer were not working, talked to the dealer today and they said "OH its probably just the "tipm" or onboard power management system" as if this happens all the time. Neither incident caused an accident however for my part I have been towing trailers and driving trucks for a long time.

While towing trailer back left blinker and back left brake lights failed to work. Then back left blinker on truck stopped working. . Problem is in the vehicles computer, dealer only item that cost $712. Some thing called "tipm". Just type in blinker problem for Dodge ram on google and watch and see how many other people are having this hudge saftey problem. Please look into this problem, peoples lives are at on the line!!! thank you.

Back in June of 2009 my right turn signal and brake light for the trailer stopped working. Then it started working again for a day or two. Now the have been out since I talked with one of the mechanics at the local Dodge dealership and he told me that they have had an issue with this all along and that the only fix was to replace the main power box under the hood. I still have no right turn or brake light on my trailer. If Dodge know that they have an issue with this electrical unit shouldn't they have to repair the issue under recall warranty. I shouldn't have to pay thousands of dollars out of my pocket for a problem that they know they have and refuse to address. I have been searching the internet about this issue and have seen thousands of complaints for this very issue. What can I do or who do I need to contact to get after Dodge so they will repair their problem with the electrical malfunctions they have. Is there any legal recourse that can be taken such as a class action lawsuit.
