 I was driving on interstate 90 when my truck suddenly shut down for no reason. no check engine lights, just a total loss of power and the steering locked up. i was able to restart it by throwing it into neutral, but it would not restart in park. this has been happening off and on, and no mechanics can seem to figure it out since it doesn't happen all the time. i'm scared to drive it. i have been on dodgeforum.com, and there are many dodge models/years suffering this problem, but no recall has been issued. this is a major safety issue and i don't know what to do to get it fixed (nor do i have the money to keep taking it in again and again). it codes out as an electrical/computer issue of unknown origin that no one has yet been able to fix, despite replaced valves, relays, etc. *tr

 Dodge issued an extended warranty for the signal really in the steering column. they stated it could break. it really malfunctions- one signalingg left it could/would change from signaling left to signaling right. they are aware of this - when i tried to get mine fixed they said that they truck would need to show the malfuntion for them to honor the warranty. i feel this should be a recall do to faulty signals (safety issue) i spoke to corporate and they felt the issue was addressed.

 My blinker lever does not work properly. when i use the left turn signal it started to blink to the right. throughout the rest of the day it would do this intermittently. i was going down a heavy traffic area and used my left turn signal. a car two lanes over slightly behind me starting honking their horn at me because it was attempting to go one lane over to the right. we both tried to go into the middle lane at the same time and i initially thought it was the other driver's fault. i looked at my blinker lever and i did have it in the correct position for a left signal. i then looked at my light display for the blinker and it was flashing to the right. my wife told me about this happening before without me in the vehicle but this i finally got to experience it myself. if it wasnt for my awareness and the other vehicle honking their horn, then we would have collided. ever since that day i experienced it myself, i have noticed it happening more frequently now. sometimes i use the blinker lever and i get no turn signal at all anymore except for pressing the lever harder down or up. i am now more concerned about correct turn signals coming from the lever and it takes away from my situational awareness while driving.

 The turn signal on the vehicle began activating the wrong signal. at times the signal will not work at all. at other times it signals the opposite direction i am attempting to turn. the signal switch also controls my high beams and windshield wipers. both of these are also affected at times by the problem. i am very concerned anyone of these issues could cause a serious accident.

 I own a 2006 dodge ram quad cab 1500 4x4 that has been having repeated problems with the multi-function switch that controls the wipers and the turn signals. several times while driving in the rain this issue has happened to were i have had my children in the truck with me and had to pull off the road because of not being able to see because of the wipers not working and in doing so drove into the median causing me to puncture the left front tire. i had to do this because i didn't want to have or cause an accident. my vehicle has been in the shop twice over this problem and it still isn't fixed. what does it take to get something done about this! there has been several, and i mean several complaints over this same part. does it take someone being killed or seriously injured before someone is held liable. i spent several thousand dollars on this truck, along with an extended warranty, but there is no price tag for loss of life do to someone not being held accountable for their equipment. please, we need something done to remedy this problem that millions of dodge owners are being forced to deal with. please don't let loss of life be the reason for a change because then it's too late.

 The blinker switch on my 2006 1500 ram doesn't work. when i flip the switch to turn right the left blinker comes on. sometimes no blinker comes on. also, at times, when i turn the wipers on they don't always come on and when they do come on they don't always turn off after turning them off.

 I have a problem with the windshield wipers on my 2006 dodge ram1500 quad cab. they will not run for more than one to two minutes on continuous wipe. after that time they will only wipe at an intermittent speed which varies from once every two seconds to once every twenty to thirty seconds, whatever they feel like wiping at. this is a very dangerous situation which i found out just the other day while traveling home from work in a steady rain. during the trip home it became very difficult to see and very unsafe. it is a very insecure feeling not knowing when your wipers will clear your windshield again in a steady rain.

 My name is aaron taylor and i own a 2006 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck. after purchasing the truck i noticed that every once in a while when i pressed the turn indicator down to turn left, the right turn indicator light would turn on. this happened once or twice a day. a few weeks later this was happening everytime i drove, also the windshield wipers would only stay on low speed. i took the vehicle to a mechanic, and he re-set the system. well, this worked for only a couple days. i had paid the mechanic a large sum of money to fix the problem so i could not afford to take the vehicle back. i drove around with this faulty turn indicator problem for around 6 months. this problem was such a nuisance for me, and not to mention illegal! everytime i took a left turn i would have to place my arm out the window and turn. this was such an embarassment for me. finally i took the dodge ram truck to a dodge dealership, and they informed me that the problem was that i had a faulty multifunction switch and that it would cose $263.00 to replace. so i gladly paid the money and go it fixed due to the un-safe turn indicator problem. i have been searching the internet for this problem and found that several people have had this turn indicator problem, and it seems to be that chrysler had installed faulty multifunction switches in their 06 dodge ram pickup trucks. i am asking you to please issue a recall on these faulty multifunction switches in the 06 dodge ram trucks before someone gets seriously injured or loses their life. thank you

 I went to turn on my left signal and it started flashing both ways then the wrong direction stayed on. the failure has been reuccuring since then and the most recent failure was my windsheild wipers started slowing down and delaying even when i had not touched the controls. the turn signals sometime will not come on at all. i understand that this has been brought to the attention of dodge/chrysler but no recall or ccampaign has been issue. the probem is intermitent, but could result in a serious accident.

 Tl-the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 1500. while driving approximately between 45-50 mph proceeding to change lanes, the contact engaged the left turn signal; however, the right turn signal responded. in addtion, the similar failure would occur during the activation of the right turn signal. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on two different times where the battery cable was disconnected and then reconnected. also, the computerized system was updated. both faulty turn signals continued to malfunction. the failure mileage was approximately 24,000. js

 Problem with turn signal switch, when signaling left turn the right turn signal will blink or sometimes both will blink at same time, also unable to switch high beams on, when lever is pulled the windshield wipers spray cleaner fluid, this should activate by pushing in on handel not pulling on it. if you move the turn signal handle around sometimes it will correct the turn signal issue but still have not found a way to activate the high beams.

 My turn signal on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 mega cab gives a wrong signal when least expect it. if you turn on the left turn signal the right one blinks or it flashes back and forth. just learned of what will fix the problem, it is caused by the multifunctional switch. i have not had it fixed yet but when i do i will keep the old switch. it happenes every couple of days then it stops for a while and then it starts again.

12/04/201047000
 Turn signals operate sporadically. moving the turn signal stalk to signal a left turn can result in no flashing of the left turn signal but improper flashing of the right turn signal. likewise when moving the turn signal stalk to signal a right turn the signal will not flash or sometimes will incorrectly signal left. this improper signal appears at both the dashboard indicator light and at the exterior front and rear turn signal lighting positions. additionally the wiper blades have begun failing to operate when needed. when selecting an on position on the turn signal stalk the wipers will sometimes stutter across the windshield or sometimes no move at all. when the vehicle was under factory warranty the multifunction switch was replaced. this fixed the problem the first time. the vehicle is having the same problem again but is now out of warranty. factory repair claims it will be the same replacement at owner cost. the problems happen intermittently, and can not be reproduced at will. over time, however, they are happening more frequently.

 I was attempting to make a left turn off the highway, and when i signalled for a left turn with the turn signal, the instrument cluster showed a signal for right turn. i pulled into the left turn lane, and the car which was behind me and continuing straight slowed down and refused to go by me, even though i was in the left turn lane and they had a clear path ahead. this indicated to me that the taillights were also indicating a right turn. there was no accident as a result of this, but the normal flow of traffic on the highway was disrupted. since this incident, i have watched closely and the multifunction switch has done the same thing several times intermittently. we live near a busy highway in the country, and often when someone is slowing down to make a right turn, the traffic behind will pass on the left. if someone is actually making a left turn, but the signal is showing right, this could lead to a fatal collision. i contacted chrysler, and they simply told me to get it fixed and hang onto the receipts in case there is a recall. i also found that 2006 dodge 3500 pickups did have an extended warranty on the multifunction switch for this reason.

 I was driving on the highway and attempting to change lanes , i pulled down my turn signal yoke to engage the signal and changed lanes - approx 500 yards later i was pulled over by a state highway patrolman who explained that i never signaled when i changed lanes. after assuring him that i did we explored the possibility that my lights were out - after going through all the motions we concluded that my lights worked fine but for some reason , my turn signals would randomly decide not to work and work at other times for no reason. the officer let me go with a warning and a promise to look into the situation right away. after doing some research , i have found many other people with the same problem from the same automaker - dodge needs to recall all of their 2006 ram's and replace their defective parts. i believe ( from what i have read) it is the multi-function switch that needs the replacing. this is a major safety concern if people are thinking that their turn signals are working properly and in fact they are not - if it is concern enough to warrant a failed inspection from a dealership or state mandated law , why does dodge believe that it is not necessary for them to replace their mistakes ? this is going to get people killed !!!!!

 I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 and the turn signals do not work correctly. the truck was functioning properly before and there has not been any changes or accidents to the vehicle that could have caused it. when you turn the right signal on, it will blink a few times, then the left will blink a few times, or it will go back and forth like a police car. some times both will blink at the same time. some times it has a strobe light effect. my truck had 70k miles on it when it started and it happens every day. it might not happen every time i turn the blinker on, but it does happen every day. it has made driving very dangerous, because vehicles will cut me off because they are unable to determine what my turn signals are telling them. it makes it dangerous to change lanes and turn at intersections. driving at night is even worse. this is a safety issue and should be recalled. i have done online research and found that it is a very common problem with this year and model truck. the solution to the problem is to replace the turn signal switch in the steering column. i called my local dodge dealership and they said it would cost around 500 dollars to fix. i highly stress that this issue be addressed. i strongly suggest this issue be adresses as it is only a matter of time until a serious crash will be caused by the malfunction.

 2006 dodge ram turn signal switch, when activated for left turn both turn signals flash or will completly shut off. when activating windshield wipers during rain they sometimes turn off by themselves and i have to fiddle with the switch to get them going again while driving down the road. went to dealer they want $300.00 to fix it since its not a safety issue, wipers turning off in the rain is not a safety issue?

 Based on a thorough troubleshooting process, it was found that the tipm unit in my 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt 4.7l is faulted / bad. my left exterior signal will not function and flashes in the instrument cluster aty a rapid rate. per dodge, this is indicative of a bad bulb or short circuit. i replaced all bulbs and the rear lamp circuit board as directed. neither repaired the problem. after two days of searching for a short, a dodge technician and myself found the tipm to have a high side short which will not allow current to continue through the circuit to the lamps. an internet search finds this to be a very common fault of the dodge module in many dodge models, yet dodge continues to expect the vehicle owners to pay for these repairs. many owners such as myself have this issue outside of the warranty period resulting in a inappropriate repair bill for a safety item dodge knows is faulty and will at some point, fail, resulting in other safety features other than just a flasher and brake light going out. i cannot accept that dodge is continually allowed to use such faulty safety modules without being required to fix this problem, without the owners suffering the costs. please contact me at 716-940-6805 for any followup on this issue. v/r, christopher s. carr

 I have an 2006 dodge megacab with only 40,000 miles since we hit 34,000 miles the turn signals work intermittently or not at all. recently my wife was on the freeway and activated the right turn signal indicator and the left blinker came on she was nearly hit by a fast approaching driver from behind. i contacted chrysler corp. and filed a complaint a rep called me and stated they would by happy to cover the cost of the part if it was deemed defective by and authorized tech i would however have to cover the service fees. i explained to her that our current financial situation would not allow this and in essence this was a defective part and the manufacturer should stand behind their product she gave me the impression that they were not concerned this was an issue or even a safety issue. i stated that the repercussions of such short sightedness could be fatal for some unfortunate chrysler product owners if this is not addressed immediately as i have noticed a growing number of online forum complaints regarding this very issue. all we ask is that this issue be addressed as a recall issue and repairs be completed satisfying customer requests to ensure a safer driving experience. here is my ref #1974126 in deference to my complaint to chrysler corp. *tr

 There has be a number of occasions this has happened about probably 100 times but paid not much attention until this winter. the turn signal level is also used to turn on the wipers on the vehicle. the problem arises when the vehicle lights are turned on, the wipers are on, and the turn signal are turned on. for no reason the turn signal from the opposite side of the vehicle is the one that operates. normally when you are turning to the right the turn signal does not turn on and the left side signal turn on. in order to alleviate this problem i have to turn the wipers off completely. this causes a problem because this impairs visibility an also is giving other drivers the wrong signals. i have no idea what caused this issue but since i reside in the state of virginia it is a requirement that when it rains you must turn your lights and wipers this has caused me a problems since i depend on this vehicle and when it snows or rain i cannot operate the vehicle. i am taking the vehicle to the dodge dealer tomorrow to see what is the problem. i have not caused any accidents. some drivers had got aggravated since some times i give them the wrong turn signals. the incidents have occurred many times in the last 8 months and i have noted that is getting more frequent since we have got more snow and rain in the north east i whish i can provide specific dated but it has happened so many times that i got tired of it and i am taking the vehicle to the dealer tomorrow. i am putting today as the most current date. *tr

 I activated my left turn signal but noticed that my right turn signal indicator light was blinking. this problem nearly caused an accident. the problem occurs approximately 90% of the time (when using turn signal). also, my wipers have begun malfunctioning (turn signal and wiper switch located together on steering column). i do not know how to correct the problem (vehicle out of warranty). *tr

 In cold dry weather the ignition system shorts causing the horn lights and chimes to activate. the dealer has witnessed this three times, but said that chrysler has no history of this happening and has no fix for the problem. the truck has been back to the dealer numerous times, several inhouse fixes were tried, but the problem still exists. a representative from chrysler customer assistance told me that the problem is an act of nature and chrysler in not responsible, but he refused to give me the statement in writing. the problem started about 3 weeks after i got the truck in january 2006. *tr

 I have a 2006 dodge ram 1500 4x4 st. the problem is static electricity in the ignition switch which chrysler engineer have acknowledged that their is a problem and the problem is when the weather is dry and i go to start my vehicle the surge of the static electricity in the air sets of my horn, my chimes, my interior lights, my cargo lights and my open door lights. the horn blare for up to 3 to 4 minutes and the rest takes an hour or more to reset themselves or i have to disconnect the battery to get them to stop. the dealer ship gave me a can of static guard to spray on my seats to keep this from happening. at night when this happens, i have to cut off my instrument panel lights in order to drive because of the interior lights staying on. i have tried the lemon law etc. dave weinberger a spokesman with chrysler has not kept me abreast of what is going on. i want my truck fixed or replace with another. my family has allergies and the spraying of this static guard is not helping their conditions either! again chrysler is the ones who told me that they knew of the problem and are dragging their feet to fix it. *tr
