NHTSA Complaint #10456298 — 2006 DODGE RAM 2500

FIRST INCIDENT MY TIPM MODULE WAS REPLACED DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN APRIL 2010, THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS ON 4/22/12, MY BRAKE LIGHTS QUIT WORKING WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN, DURING THIS TRIP I WAS TRAVELING HOME, I TURNED ON MY CRUISE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING, I HIT THE BRAKES AND CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT CUT OFF, I FINALLY HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE KEPT REVVING HIGHER. I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN OFF . I MADE IT HOME THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THE TIPM MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, IF MY WIFE OR SON WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY TRUCK ,I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THIS SITUATION, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE SECOND TIME THIS MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE FIRST TIME WAS 743.00 NOW IT IS 1060.00 TO REPLACE. I HAVE ALSO READ ONLINE OF SEVERAL INCIDENCES OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER 2006 DODGE RAM OWNERS. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPT TO TALK WITH SOME ONE AT DODGE CONCERNING THIS ,I DECIDED TO CONTACT THIS SITE FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
