I was traveling through the January West coast winter storms. I am not sure if the failure happened during this time but it became very apparent there was something wrong within the cab air distribution system. There was cold damp air that was entering from behind the glove box and could not be turned off. It became increasingly harder to keep the windows from becoming fogged creating poor driver visibility and hazardous driving conditions. After reaching our destination and talking with others that have like vehicles they referred me to a common problem with the distribution doors. A few internet searches and a trip to a local garage and sure enough at lease one of my doors had broken off. At this time the issue has not been resolved. I have contacted Dodge and they indicated they were not aware of any problems. I requested written documentation for my records of my complaint that I felt this was unsafe and the level one contact told me was not authorized but would have a level two person contact me. The level two did contact me and told me to submit the request online and as of this date I have not got a response. I called on 2/8/2010 to see when I could expect the letter and they are now offering to have someone contact me to see what can be worked out. Still no answer as to when the response will come.

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.

Ram 2500

  • 57,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 megacab 4X4. The contact stated that the window began to crack in 13 degree weather. While rolling up the window, he noticed an inch long crack in the window. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact ordered a new window for the vehicle. He feels that the vehicle is unsafe to drive because it could shatter while driving. The current and failure mileages were 57,000.
