general problems of the 2006 Dodge Ram 2500

Brake pedal moves almost 2 inches side to side dealership has no idea on how to fix.

It is a power brake pedal that is made to move backward and forward. The brake pedal moves from left to right. Never moved at all before. Something must have broke. Does not feel or look to be safe.

I have the laramie package which has adjustable pedals as option. There's is a bushing that the brake pedal mounts to the armthis bushing breaks or wears out and causes the pedal to swing left and right. This is a safety issue which causes your foot to slip off pedal as it swings. I have done research and this incident is not isolated to my year model. There are several right ups on this same same problem. This is not an easy fix as the steeering column has to be removed. It also is not cheap. The parts are on national back order to to the amount of pedals failing. This is a huge safety risk or concern. I have read several forums to where people have had them replaced only to have the same issue. I was stopped at a major intersection and foot slipped off pedal. Sometimes while driving and going to stop, pedal moves to the left and I have to concentrate on where my foot is to apply brakes. Please look into other similar complaints and help us get this serious issue fixed.

Brake pedal bushings broke/worn during operation on the interstate allowing pedal to move more than 3 inches side to side. The movement in the pedal is a safety issue experienced by all ram owners with power pedals. The truck only has 50,000 miles on the odometer.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 06v038000 (service brakes, hydraulic ) and 15v313000 : (air bags) 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 notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Oo.

There was an slow loss of rear braking , that was preceded by a strange sound coming from the right rear of the truck, when I took it to my tire shop they discovered a compete failure of the seal and the brakes, disc and router were saturated with oil--this result in the necessity of a total overhaul of the entire rear axle braking system.

The truck shakes uncontrollably after hitting a pot hole or un even pavement. Aprox 55 to 75 mph. I allmost went off an embankment at 65 mph. The truck would non steer or brake when it was shakeing. Death wobble look at you tube Dodge truck death wobble.

Truck is not driven very often. I noticed the power adjustable break pedals moves side to side early. But do to lack of driving I was never able to physically bring it to a dealer until just recently. I had it there for the air bag recall. And remembered to ask them to look at the pedal. They said it was definitely bad and a safety issue. They never did this type of repair. They were not sure how to do it and I think that it should be fixed from a design fault. I see that this is somewhat common from my research. Also I see that Dodge has a repair kit out for this from 2009. If I hit break pedal it wants to swing to the left causing my foot to slip off and hit he accelerator.

I was driving a Dodge sprinter, and I stopped on a light to wait for a green to came, and when I stared moving, and all of the sudden I had to make stop, because a car on front of me, stopped, I pushed a brakes a few times, and it didn't work, and after I made an accident, someone tried a car, and it did work! I found this material on the web site, that I will give you a link to it. . Read more...

While driving, the power steering died making it nearly impossible to turn. This is a complete failure of the power steering, previous occurrences of brief difficult steering happened two or three times. Also braking was affected ,decreasing stopping ability. I was barely able to stop and turn the truck to avoid crashing into a building.

Abs engages the truck rolls forward 10 to 20 ft. Before it stops. There was a recall that was done on the truck but the issue still continues. Nobody will help me. It's still a problem?.
