Vehicle has a delayed engagement after sitting for an extended period of time. Particularly happens in colder weather. Delayed engagement will also make transmission start off in higher gear. Will take roughly 30 seconds to engage into gear. Issue is sporadic therefore local Dodge garage has failed to diagnose problem. Dodge has had many tsa notices concerning this same delayed engagement but still neglects to take responsibility for their flaw. After speaking to multiple transmission shops I have been made aware that the 2006 Ram transmission pump is faulty and even the manager at the local Dodge garage verified that Dodge has replaced the pump with a different model because of the delayed engagement but yet they still are not replacing the faulty pumps that are currently in the vehicle

1.. All 02-2005 (maybe 2006) 9.25" lsds are affected. 2.. The retaining clips fail. 3.. After enough wear on the housing the clips can come loose, which at a high rate of speed could get lodged in the ring and pinion and cause the rear end to lock up. And at 75 MPH having the rear tires lock up surely spell out injury or death. 4.. That even when the problem is found and repaired under warranty the parts are replaced with the same junk as before. *jb

The passenger side headlight does not turn on even after replacement when the headlight switch is in the on position. Dealer has determined that the fault is the tipm (totally integrated power module). Per dealer mfg no longer produces the tipm unit. Per dealer aftermarket no longer manufactures part either. Dealer suggests wrecking yard, however part is a computer based product that still must be reprogrammed by dealer after replacement. This is a safety issue with lighting, and the passenger side headlight will not function without this unit being replaced. *tr

The recirculation door broke for the heater and air conditioning. This problem causes a low flow rate because the door blocks the fan opening, which leads to fogged windows and snow buildup on the windshield.

This is an obvious defect, but Dodge is not repairing vehicles with the problem, instead they are charging customers for their mistake.
