The turn signal will intermittently malfunction, causing the right indicator to blink though the lever is in the down position which when operational should signal the left indicator. This is a serious safety concern for myself as I have had multiple instances where I'm positioned in the left turn lane attempting to execute a left turn and signaling to oncoming traffic my intentions only to have the right blinker activate and cause traffic to stop abruptly in the lane I just exited. I am not only exposing myself to a rear end collision but I am also exposing the unsuspecting driver being incorrectly signaled to the same potential fate. The inability to caution oncoming traffic of my intentions also creates a potentially hazardous situation in that my turn could startle them causing them to turn sharply or stop abruptly. Both could have detrimental impact provided the conditions are less than perfect in a state that commonly has severe winter weather.

My 2006 Dodge Ram truck turns on the wrong turn signal, for instance if I am making a right turn and I push the stalk up, the left turn signal turns on. This is an intermittent problem and sometimes my turn signals work and sometimes they do not. I also have the related problem that I have no control over my windshield wipers. When I turn them on, they will stay on for minutes at a time on a high speed and not turn off. Other times they will only go one or two times and shut off completely while it is pouring rain.

The multi function switch was defective in my vehicle. This caused the following safety concerns with the vehicle: 1) the windshield wipers did not work, 2) the turn signals did not work, and 3) the hazzard lights did not work. I have two problems with the situation: 1) while driving the vehicle during a rain storm on 9/26/2011, the windshield wipers did not work. This caused a safety concern and could have caused a potential accident and 2) while driving the vehicle, the turn signals did not work. This caused a safety concern and could have caused an accident. After taking the vehicle to the local Dodge dealership, I was informed that the multi function switch was on back order. To be exact, four thousand multi function switches were on back order per the local dealership and Chrysler group customer assistance. Neither the local dealership or the Chrysler group customer assistance had any idea when the part would be available. I asked both parties why the part is on back order since this is a matter of safety. No answer was given. After further research via the internet, it was determine that other Dodge Ram truck owners had the same type issue with their multi function switch being defective. It would be great if Dodge would notify all owners of the problem with the multi function switch and have them reviewed and/or replaced if needed. This could potentially save someone from serious injury or death from the the multi function switch being defective while driving. My hope and prayer is to have other Dodge Ram truck owners understand the importance of this problem. It could potentially save their life.

Turn signals fail to work completely, or right turn signal will activate while using left signal or vise-versa. Headlights will fail while this "multi-function switch" shorts out. No wipers, no turn signals, no lights.

The problem started a few months ago, but I thought it had corrected itself. The past few weeks it has been a constant problem and will not stop. When turning the wipers on mist, they do not work. I have to switch it to the next setting to make them move. The blinkers are either working intermittently or not at all. When turning left, the right one comes one, both flash and stop or it will switch from one to the other. The same thing happens when turning right. Turning on the brights does not work either. It makes the washer fluid and wipers work.

The problem first occurred at highway speeds where the signal fails to operate, operates the opposite signal of what the driver selected or alternates rapidly both turn signals. Additionally when this happens the high speed on the wipers and the hazards fail as well. The problem now occurs sitting still or any speed, it appears to be a bad multifunction switch. This is definitely a dangerous and from what I've read, far to common a problem.

The turn signal multiswitch malfunctions constantly. Sometimes both signals flash when your turning one way other times it is just the opposite side flashes. This is a major saftey issue that Chrysler should have to recall. It could very easily cause an accident if another driver thinks you are turning the opposite way than you are going to turn. Needs a recall, many blogs on line talking about this!

2006 Dodge Ram mega cab-32000 miles. Multi-function switch does not work properly. Left turn signal activates when signalling right or vice versa. Windshield wipers do not always turn on causing hazardous and unsafe driving conditions in inclimate weather. Multi-function switch has been replaced three times already. Dealer advised Dodge was aware of the problem but was not responsible since a recall had not been mandated. Complaint filed with Chrysler customer care over issue of responsibility and knowingly replacing defective parts with known defective parts. The issue has not been resolved to this date.

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.
