| Description of the problem | 2006 dodge ram 2500 turn signal issues. Malfunctioning turn signals. Turn left signal on and right signal comes on intermittently. Sometimes neither side turn signals work. Moving tilt steering column seems to temporary fix the issue. Nearly had an accident while making a left turn and right blinker went on instead, vehicle following passed on the left hand side of truck because they saw the right hand turn signal flashing. Dodge has a tsb for this problem on the ram 3500, so they know what is wrong. However, they refuse to admit there is a problem on 2500 rams, and it should be forced to mandatory recall on both vehicles. There are several reports of other dodge ram 2500 with same problem in other online forums, and i personally know of someone with same problem on their 2006 dodge ram. |
