This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Upon parking my truck, putting the vehicle in park, and exiting, I then noticed a loud clank sound and then the truck started rolling back. It was stopped by a curb. It seemed to pop out of gear. This is the second time this has happened.
I purchased my 2006 Dodge 2500 4X4 brand new in 2006. My truck is in great condition except for two major concerns..my A/C went out in Dec. 2010 it was replaced with another defective one which was immediately replaced again. Dealer did not replace the flapper under dash. I took truck in Nov. 2011 the windshield would get extremely foggy and a noise would come from under dash when I put A/C on high, dealer said it was the flap that would control where the air is directed. They wanted $800 to replace a $34 part. I told them that should have been fixed when they replaced A/C. dealer said it still would not be covered under warranty anyway. This is a serious issue when fog gets on windshield why does someone have to die before a part is recalled. I have to open my windows to defrost my windshield. The other issue is when truck is supposedly in park and you open the door the horn honks, dash lights turn on and off and twice it has jumped into reverse on it's own. The first time I was at the post office putting mail outside I was a bit to far from box so I put it in park, opened door jumped off and truck jumped into reverse luckily I'm a small person and was able to jump in and step brake. This has happened about three times. The park does not engage properly because at heb I put it in park turn off truck went in store came back to turn on truck. It wouldn't start and it was in park. I had to put it in neutral to start it. Another customer came to see what was wrong I tried to put it in park again and it wouldn't go after about to more attempts it went into park I took it to dealer and they could not duplicate problem so nothing was done. I have reported it here so if something happens at least it was reported, if Dodge doesn't do anything they will if more people see that others are having the same problem.
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited an abnormal noise when he noticed that the transfer case failed. The dealer informed the contact that because the vehicle was no longer under warranty, they would not be able to provide any assistance and the vehicle was not repaired. The current and failure mileage was 109,000.
Front axle U joints at only 38,000. Miles although I believe they were bad before under 36,000 three years. But didn't show that bad only slight clunk when shifting to 4 wheel drive and sharp tight turns there are no grease fitting on these parts it is a sealed unit(the U joint) so it couldn't be maintained.
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 megacab 4X4. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle and it was towed to an authorized dealer. The dealer advised that the ECM module and tipm failed. The dealer advised that the ECM would be replaced under factory warranty however the tipm would be repaired at the contacts expense.
