Consumer Description

LATELY I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM STARTING MY 2008 DODGE RAM 1500. THE VEHICLE LIGHTS UP LIKE IT'S GOING TO START, THEN WHEN I TURN THE KEY OVER THERE'S NOTHING. I HAVE CONTINUED TRYING TO CRANK THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES AND AFTER 10-20 MIN OF WAITING THE VEHICLE STARTS LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST. I WISH I NEVER BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NOW . *TR
