2006 Dodge Ram 3500. The directional will not indicate the proper turning direction at times. If the directional is pushed to turn left, the right directional lights come on. If the directional is placed for a right turn then no lights come on. If the hazard lights are place on, then only the left directional lights come on. At time if indicating a left turn, all the directional lights will alternate back and forth. Does not happen all the time and difficult to reproduce.
Abs brakes locked up driving on freeway. Intermittenttly blinking off and on @ instrumrnt panel.
Every time I took it to the dealer, they said there was nothing they could do about the problem. The whole front end felt like it was loose. I could hardly keep it on the road. The dealer test drove it the several times I took it there, but they never fixed anything. I tried to fix it myself because it was a hazard. Finally we got a recall on this exact problem, after I called Chrysler for some help, which they told me they would get in touch with the dealer, but the dealer told me they never got any notice. I have a lot of receipts of all the parts I bought trying to fix the problem. But it still isn't right. I have had this truck for 10 years and love it, but am really getting tired of fixing it. Also the computer has never shifted the transmission correctly, but again the dealer could not find any problem. I sure hope you can buy this vehicle back, or fix everything I have tried to get fixed for years on end.
Bought the 3500 megacab cummins with the g56 6 speed manuel in Nov 2005 and by the way this was the 3rd cummins I've owned and the worst, great motor but not happy with manufacture this time. So I bought in Nov 05 and Dec. 25 started it up and check engine light stayed on, so I shut it off and called dealer next day. This was the start of it all. Every 3day this would happen and I had to drive 23 miles to dealer to have them plug it up to computer and still could not tell me what was wrong. This went on for 14 months ended up buying my own module to reset myself. During all this found the issue with vents and broken dampers in ductwork and started having problems with the power back window cable broke then new one[s] leaked, 3 of them and then the window stopper fell off so I have had 4 rear power windows installed. After all that at 68000 miles I lost 2,4 and 6th gear 80 miles away from home and had to limp it home holding shifter in 6th gear whole time, broken shift tower that wasnt cheap. Then I stared having problems with blowing white smoke on startup come to find I have a injector acting up and the dealer said the fix was a 120. 00 bottle of injector cleaner and dog the the hell out of it . At about 75000miles started having the turn signal switch problem turn left and the right signal flashed and the shake in the front end and have had 4 front end allignment and new set of tires now have 125000 mile still get the shake and past do to give up in this beast.
