| While pulling a trailer the left side brake and signal does not work. this is due to a faulty tipm. the trailer lights work on all our other vehicles. we were actually pulled over by the state highway patrol because of it. this is a severe safety issue and from the research i've done it is a common compliant with the 2006 dodge ram 2500 models. we were told by our local dodge dealership that every time this happens you have to take the truck in and have it reflashed but it can only be done 5 times. after that you have to replace the tipm but then you start all over again with it happening again. the tipm is not equipped to handle the tow package. | |||

| This has accured several times, while using turn signals.while driving i turn on the left signal and the right one seems to come on and then at times they will just all blink on and off. then at other times while using the turn signals. the lights go fast then goes out. i feel this is a important and major saftey feature of this vehicle/ truck. i went and ask the local dodge dealer service advisor about this problem. the advisor said he never heard of it. and further that warranty was out at 36000 miles. i was in the belief . that safety items on new vehicles were covered for 5 years 100000 miles... this problem will cause a accident. the ? is when...please recall this problem before someone gets hurt while turning due to the from a faulty turn signal that hes been found on the 2006 dodge ram pick up. | |||

| I have a 2006 dodge mega cab 2500 4x4 slt with ~53k miles on it. about 1 month ago i started to experience issues with using my left turn signal. during light momentary and full left turn signal actuation, my right turn signal would come on and the left turn signal would not come on. the occurrences happen at random times and for random durations of time. i usually fiddle with the turn signal lever to get the left signal to work after i notice the incorrect flashing of the right turn signal. this surely has raised my chances of being involved in an accident as other drivers interpret this to mean i have change my intent to turn or am confused or possibly impaired. this is an ongoing problem and i will repair this at my own cost to avoid putting myself in danger. i have read numerous reports of this or very similar failures occurring in the dodge truck line. please make this a safety recall in order to address this serious issue. | |||

| The turn signals fail to function correctly, intermittently. sometimes, when putting on the right or left turn signal, the opposite signal goes on; some other times, nothing will happen. related, but less seriously dangerous: the windshield wipers fail to work; the windshield washers fail to work; and the high beams do not come on. *cn | |||

| Dodge ram has a problem that causes the directional lights to work in reverse. when the steering wheel is tilted and the left turn signal is turned on the right flashes and when the right turn signal is used the left flashes. this causes other drivers to think you are turning right when you really are turning left! *tr | |||

| 2006 dodge ram 2500. multifunction switch fails when needed the most. this item controls the wipers, turn signals, high/low beams, as well as emergency flashers. this was an intermittent problem when i first reported it to the dealership, and surprise surprise it didn't fail at the dealership. now after my standard warranty has expired it has completely failed. there was no events leading up to the failure. the dealerships are now saying that this is a common issue, but since the warranty has expired, i now have to pay for parts as well as labor for an item that causes a major safety issue. imagine driving in a down poor, and the switch that controls your wipers fails to perform. *tr | |||

| The multifunction switch (turn signal) is malfunctioning. i have heard many people state this same thing. the turn signals will activate opposite (trip the left and the right activates) and vice versa. the high beams will not turn off. and most recently i was in a rain storm and my windshield wipers which are activated by the same switch did not work. i had to stop on the side of the road and wait for the rain to stop before i could continue since i could not get them to activate. the multifunction switch appears to be a faulty part of my truck 2006 dodge ram 2500. *tr | |||

| I was driving down the hwy in pouring rain when the wipers started acting erratically going from real fast then slow then stopped leaving the wiper arm right in front of my eye level . they never came back on. luckily i avoided an accident. i have tried new wiper motor did nothing later ordered a multifunction switch that didn't work either. now im told that 2006 dodge ram 2500 has a tipm in place of the fuse this is called a total integrated power module. i searched the turbo diesel registry and there are others that have had the same experience. the truck has 58,000 miles and is garage kept i consider excellent condition. chrysler will not provide any help. i now have a $1,000 plus repair bill and a truck that i cannot drive. also i have read on here of other electrical problems so how can i trust that this part wont do the same thing. *tr | |||

| 2006 dodge 2500 mega cab. while sitting at a stop light in a left turn lane with left turn signal on, i experienced erratic timing of the left turn signal, and quick flashes of the opposite (right) turn signal. moving the steering wheels direction seemed to remedy the problem, and i have not been able to duplicate the problem. *tr | |||

| 2006 dodge trucks run their trailer stop and turn lights through the computer in the truck. any surge or pop from hooking up the trailer will cause the lights to not work. their is no fuse for trailer lights but there is for the truck lights. if you plug your trailer lights in ond touch it wrong you no longer have stop or turn signals for the trailer. your only option is to go to the dealer and for 110.00 they will check the computer to see if they can reset it or if you need a new computer for your truck. this causes you to drive around without lights since you have no ability to fix them yourself. *tr | |||

| 2006 dodge ram 2500 diesel- the turn signal indicator frequently activates the turn signals in the wrong direction. i've noticed that adjusting the tilt column corrects the signal in most cases. there seems to be a flaw in the signal system that causes a short or something of that nature. i've had this problem since 2007, within months of buying the truck. it was infrequent at first and i neglected to take it in while the truck was under warranty. now it happens almost every day. *tr | |||

| Bought a used 2006 dodge ram 2500 trx4 with the 5.9l cummins. driving home from the used car dealership, my turn signal switch was not working properly. it would vary from when i had in the left turn position, sometimes the right blinker would flash too, or nothing would blink. sometimes, when i make a right turn and initiate the right turn signal, nothing flashes or if i put it in the left turn position, then the right turn signal flashes. i purchased it used on sep 1, 2009; and this is my first dodge and more importantly, a life-threatening equipment fault/malfunction. i have read online several articles of this affecting several year model dodge ram 2500/3500 trucks. if this is known, why isn't a recall initiated and i as a user/consumer, now has to pay another $100 for a multi turn switch, from which i read, may malfunction within a year. *tr | |||
