This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that the air conditioning unit would jam when an attempt was made to switch the unit to or from defrost. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the blend door actuator and the unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also referenced NHTSA campaign number: 09V158000 (visibility), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

The problem started in 2009. Went to drive the truck and could not get the truck to drive over 20 mph. Was able to get it to a dealer close by and had to have the throttle body positioning sensor replaced. Since that date I have had to have this same sensor changed 8 more times. Each time the private mechanic talks to Chrysler and they recognize there is a faulty problem with this part and will not recall the item. When this sensor goes out it will not let you drive more than about 20mph. Also had to replace the accelerated pedal positioning sensor 4 times. Blinker problems noted by many other consumers I have also had. Where you turn on the left blinker and the right blinker comes on. As well as the A/C problem many consumers have mentioned the door breaks and then all you have is outside air coming in. My mechanic has tried to get replacement parts from Chrysler to repair the problem and Chrysler does not sell this part (please explain to me how they can make the vehicle and not sell the part to repair it when it breaks knowing it breaks often). Tie rods have also been a problem with my truck. No matter how tight they are they continue to come loose even after being replaced and then the truck will shake. My main concern at this point is it intermittently will die while driving down the highway. It will start right back up but will die again and then it wont duplicate the problem for 2 or 3 days and then will do it again. Have not been able to diagnose this problem yet. If anyone knows any suggestions to look at please advise.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact heard a grumbling noise and the air conditioner stopped working. The dealer stated that a piece of the air conditioning unit fell into the fans and caused more damage to the unit. The repairs were made under warranty. A year later, the contact heard the exact same noise as before and, shortly after, the air conditioning unit failed. The dealer stated that the repairs could be performed at the estimated cost of $800 because the warranty expired. The failure mileage was 31,000 and current mileage was 52,000.
