Electrical System Problems of Dodge Ram 2500 - part 2

(safety) when using left turn signal, right signal blinks or none at all. I have had other motorist think I was turning right and go around me as I slow down to make my turn left . I think NHTSA need to look into this ! because motorist can be issued a ticket for improper lane change or an accident could occur.

I have turn signals on my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500, but I do not have functioning trailer brake or signal lights through the factory installed towing package. This is the same problem no matter which trailer I am pulling. Checking for voltage states that there is low voltage due to the tpim. This occurred at 84,000. Also, while the vehicle is running the igination key can be pulled out. $1,000 is alot to repair a towing package and I do not know how long this would last.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that the heater and air conditioner were not working. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the heater box fractured and needed to be replaced at cost. The manufacturer referred the contact to NHTSA and stated that there were no failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 163,000.

On this model, as well as others within a close date range, the forward control module(fcm) shuts off the headlights if it recognizes any disruption in current or ground. This has happened to me about 4 times in the last year and causes a safety concern as the only thing I can do is turn on my brights, which in turn blinds other drivers. The module is located outboard of the fuse box, located above driver side wheel well in the engine compartment. Price is usually around $400 for part, then I have to take it to somebody to have it keyed to my computer for another $100-200. There is no variable as to when it happens, sometimes while in motion, sometimes while stationary.

The tipm (total integrated power module) failed while the vehicle was being driven. The vehicle lost steering control, and braking control when the tipm failed to work. The engine died, while in motion, causing a very dangerous situation. In researching the tipm issues, I have found that there have been several recalls and a class action lawsuit against Chrysler for tipm failures. When I contacted the Dodge customer service center on October 19, 2015, I was told that since the vehicle was out of warranty, they were no longer responsible for the vehicle. The customer service representative stated that he was unaware there was an issue with the tipm module. This is an outrage that Dodge wont even acknowledge the issue, or attempt to make it right with consumers who experience issues with the module. It is very unfortunate that someone will have to be hurt or killed before Chrysler will be held responsible for their known faulty parts. The issue with this part is that it runs all of the major electrical components of the vehicle, and its failure can occur while the vehicle is in motion, which happened when my wife and 9 year old son were driving down the street. Once this part fails, there is no other option than to replace it, and without the tipm, the vehicle is inoperable. Hopefully Chrysler / Dodge will realize the error of their ways, and recall all of these faulty units before someone is hurt.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that the turn signals on the vehicle need to be repaired. The contact stated that when signaling a left turn the vehicle signals a right turn instead. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage 128,000.

Turn signal will flash the opposite signal than the direction you desire. Example, turning on the left turn single will cause the right turn signal to flash, and vise versa, as well as causing the emergency signals to activate. I am unable to indicate to other drivers my correct direction of turn while driving in traffic or at a signal light, stop sign, merging, changing lanes, ect. .

The truck will not power the left stop lamp or signal lamp on any of my trailers; however, the left signal and stop lamp on the truck work perfectly. Dodge dealer indicated that the problem was in the truck's tipm which does not have a fuse for that portion of the trailer's lighting and burned out internally. Dealership indicated that the only way to repair is to replace the tipm which costs $1026. 00. Dealership also indicated that this is a major problem on this vehicle which they have seen before. There is nothing to indicate that the trailer lamps aren't working except to physically observe them. This tipm also controls numerous other things in the truck and info from the dealership and internet searches indicate there are many serious problems occurring due to them malfunctioning. These are defective units that should be recalled. Consumers should not have to pay over $1000 to make a simple light function, or deal with a worse problem.

I own a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. The turn signals on the vehicle malfunction. When signaling a left turn, the right turn signal would flash, or both hazards would flash, or sometimes they would not work at all, then all of a sudden would start misfiring again. There are 85,000 miles on my truck.

When switching on a turn signal, both lights flash or nothing happens. Wipers fail or work sporadically. Wipers don't work when I need them to and causes me to not drive in the rain. The blinkers work half the time and almost causes someone to hit my truck because they thought I was turning right when I had the blinker to turn left.

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.

Tipm (total integrated power module) failed while driving vehicle. Vehicle lost engine power, power steering, and brakes. ¾-ton trucks are very heavy and are near impossible to turn and control without power steering and do not stop without power brakes. I was able to maneuver vehicle to the side of the road with minimal damage to the body. I was lucky to not cause a bigger accident and lucky not to injure myself or anybody else. This tipm failure is very common with Dodge vehicles and I am disgusted how Chrysler-Dodge has conducted themselves in regard to recalls and warranty. Had I been towing a trailer on the highway I would have certainly caused an accident. I fear this tipm failure will result in loss of life if it hasn't so already.

I have owned this vehicle since new and only use for 6 weeks a year at our vacation home. I have had steering/engine[injectors]/driveline issues but biggest concern is the tipm. I made the mistake and plugged in the boat trailer and then the left low beam went out. Took to dealer for a reflash and they were able to make the headlights work but now have the turn signal issue. They informed me I need another tipm so since I have bought 1 already[off warranty] I am hoping with all the complaints, fiat/ram will issue a recall as this is a safety issue? I turn left and the right indicator comes on???I would rather have no low beam than this issue. I will never own a fiat vehicle due to my past and current issues with the tipm in this 2006 Dodge ram [made in mexico] 2500 laramie with a 5. 9 cummins. . . .

I was driving down the road and the engine started dying then taking back off, then all of a sudden the speed odometer dropped to zero wouldnt come back up while I was still moving, then the abs light the check enging light and the brake light and washer fluid light all came on and I lost power to the tail lights head lights and the windows started rooling up and down by them selves. When I got home and turned off the truck I called the dealer and they said that it was the tipm and it would have to be replaced. They said the trailer I was pulling must of had a short and thats what caused it. I told them that I wasnt pulling a trailer and they called me a liar and hung up on me the windows continued to roll up and down untill the batt was disconnected. The next morning I then hooked the battery back up and it all worked fine. No problem a couple weeks later it started again finall found a short in the light control on the right tail light replaced the part that holds the bulbs and the problem corrected itself. Now it has since started doing it all again but will not reset itself I contacted the dealer and they said that the tipm would reset itself five times then would have to be replaced. The veh was not pulling a trailer when this happened and the only trailer I pull with it has the lighting package working fine on all trucks I hook it to but not this one. Please get the Dodge company to recall these peices of junk im tired of paying 1200 dollars to replace a bunch of parts to find out its their piece of junk tipm causing all the problems.

Started truck to leave for work one morning and head lights would not come on. Dealership said it has a bad tipm.

I have a 2006 Ram 2500 I hooked up some trailer lights and now I have no low beam headlights. There is no codes showing on repair shops reader (I have no dealer available where I live). The internet has tons of complaints about the tipm and how it shuts down if it draws too many amps. Well you would think a fuse would be used for that and not have to replace a $1000 computer board. Right now I can only drive during daylight hours or only with the high beams. Customers should not have to pay over a $1000 to fix a faulty design. Dodge should have to create a fix or repair our vehicles.

Recall: p65/NHTSA 14v-635 : diesel fuel heater electrical connector: received first recall in December, 2014. Took truck to dealer (haddad Dodge, bakersfield, CA) and was told that they did not have the parts and would call when parts were available. As of 5-12-15, no call and no repair. Received another recall notice in mail 5-10-15 for same safety issue. This is listed as an "important safety recall". If this is so important, then why has 5 months gone by with no parts and now a second notice sent. It would appear that Dodge corporate/dealers should be held accountable for getting the parts and making the repair. I consider 5+ months as an unreasonable amount of time. Otherwise, take the red label off the front of the notice and remove the word "important" from the label.

Recall p65, received notice in oct. 2014, contacted Dodge day letter was received. Asked if vehicle was safe to drive at which time they stated "we can not tell you if your vehicle is safe or not", asked to schedule service and informed no parts at this time. . . Fast forward 5 months. . On the Dodge website it clearly states my vehicle must be inspected for fuel leak on this recall. . . So I call Dodge and once again I'm told no parts yet, they don't even know what parts are needed, so I once again asked if the vehicle was safe to drive and that I won't have an engine fire and received the same response as last time. . . I asked if at least my vehicle can be inspected to see if it has a fuel leak so I k ow if it's safe to drive and the response was no, since no parts, "its a liability issue if they inspect and don't have parts". . . . . Nor will they provide a rental and guess what if it catches fire they won't pay for it. . . I didn't spend over 50k to have a lawn decoration, I bought the vehicle to drive!.
