Problems with 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 2500. while driving various speeds, the driver's side headlight would suddenly turn off and on. the light bulb was replaced on several different occasions, but the failure continued. the vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the tipm was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 146,000. the vin was not available.

Turn signals fail to operate at times. other times they flash wrong side. happens moving in traffic on highway changing lanes or turning.

Tipm headlight issues. my 2006 dodge ram 2500 has the right headlight that continuously stops working. i have had the tipm codes cleared numerous times. this being headlights i see as a severe safety issue. i do not understand why dodge has not recalled this isdue. i have read in many places of how many people have had this same issue.

No high beam no low beam no turn signal right side.

The headlights failed due to the totally integrated power module (tipm). research reveals that the tipm failed on many of the dodge vehicles. this system failure is a safety hazard.

I have turn signals on my 2006 dodge ram 2500, but i do not have functioning trailer brake or signal lights through the factory installed towing package. this is the same problem no matter which trailer i am pulling. checking for voltage states that there is low voltage due to the tpim. this occurred at 84,000. also, while the vehicle is running the igination key can be pulled out. $1,000 is alot to repair a towing package and i do not know how long this would last.

Turn signal will flash the opposite signal than the direction you desire. example, turning on the left turn single will cause the right turn signal to flash, and vise versa, as well as causing the emergency signals to activate. i am unable to indicate to other drivers my correct direction of turn while driving in traffic or at a signal light, stop sign, merging, changing lanes, ect..

The truck will not power the left stop lamp or signal lamp on any of my trailers; however, the left signal and stop lamp on the truck work perfectly. dodge dealer indicated that the problem was in the truck's tipm which does not have a fuse for that portion of the trailer's lighting and burned out internally. dealership indicated that the only way to repair is to replace the tipm which costs $1026.00. dealership also indicated that this is a major problem on this vehicle which they have seen before. there is nothing to indicate that the trailer lamps aren't working except to physically observe them. this tipm also controls numerous other things in the truck and info from the dealership and internet searches indicate there are many serious problems occurring due to them malfunctioning. these are defective units that should be recalled. consumers should not have to pay over $1000 to make a simple light function, or deal with a worse problem.
