Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • 100,000 miles
After replacing multiple bulbs for my passenger side headlight and changing the connector switch, I have been told I will have to replace my tipm (totally integrated power module) which is $800 + labor at the dealership. The tipm is the fuse box and I've seen several '06-'08 model Dodge owners on different forums with the same problem. When the tipm goes out, it can cause the headlights, locks, blinkers, tail lights, wipers interior lights, etc to not work. In 2006, Dodge replaced the fuse box with a tipm and since then it has been nothing but problems for Dodge owners.

Vehicle was experiencing turn signal recurring failures. While driving at any speed the turn signals either would not function or the opposite turn signal from intended signal would illuminate. Service writer suggested to replace multi-function switch to correct problem, his comment was that this is a common failure. Ultimately the multi-function switch was replaced with no other issue identified as the problem.

Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • 59,000 miles
Multifunction switch malfunction on 2007 Dodge ran 1500. Turn signal signals wrong direction on occasion (based on first experience this gets worse with time) and windshield wipers do not function properly. The turn signal issue causes a significant hazard when you intend to turn or change lanes one direction and your turn signal is indicating the opposite of your intention. The windshield wiper issue causes a safety hazard when they fail to operate in the rain. Had the switch replaced in 2008 or 2009 around 30K miles and it is now failing again at 59,000 miles.

Ram 1500

  • 22,000 miles
I bought the truck 10/29/10 with 22 K miles on it and have 29950K now. I have had to replace the whole front end, rack and pinion steering system tie rod ends, leaky back window, third brake light, balance and rotate tires 3 times, rail dust, new carpet, leaky third light, new rotors and brakes at 24K, air cleaner, wipers. I questioned the front end when I bought it and was told it as just tires out of balance. When I picked it up and asked if the front end looked good because I noticed the front tie rod ends had a lot of play and I was concerned with issues due to that. I was told the front end was fine no problems with it. I later took it back and had all the front steering components replaced. I picked up the vehicle and had no alignment and was told they only set the toe. I had to keep the steering wheel a full half turn to the left to go straight. I paid for an alignment and the printout showed my toe was set under the specifications. I have tired unevenly worn due to bad front end components. I had to have the front head lamp replaced due to cracking inside the lens, a back seat that the latch did not work properly. After picking up the vehicle bolts that needed tightening due to carpet being replaced. I question how this vehicle was properly inspected and none of these things were noticed. I drive my daughter daily in this vehicle and it remains to have front end problems. I have done research and noticed a lot of issues with crashes relating to faulty front ends on these vehicles. It continues to remain unsafe.
