NHTSA Complaint #10714938 — 2008 DODGE RAM 1500

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND WITHIN A WEEK THE KEY WOULDN'T GO INTO THE IGNITION AND ONCE IN WOULDN'T COME BACK OUT. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY LOCKING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL NOW DOESN'T GO OFF AND WHEN I TRY TO PUT IT OFF MY SELF THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ACTIVATES! THIS WENT ON BACK AND FORTH A GOOD EIGHT TIMES BEFORE BOTH SHUT OFF. MY FRONT HEADLIGHTS (MOSTLY RIGHT BUT CANNOT REALLY SEE THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING) THE LIGHTS SHAKES AND BOUNCES WHEN I GO OVER ANYTHING UNEVEN. UPON COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP THE TRUCK PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO THE GRASS. THIS VEHICLE JUST DOESN'T DRIVE RIGHT. THE WHOLE FRONT END SEEMS LOOSE. I CANNOT DRIVE OVER 50 OR THE REAR END COMES OFF THE GROUND WHEN I BRAKE TO MAKE MY TURN. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THIS EVENING. MY DEALER 30 DAY WARRANTY EXPIRES TOMORROW. THE 3 YEAR 36000 MANUFACTURER WARRANTY IS UP SINCE THREE YEARS ARE GONE - ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 31864 MILES NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE REPAIRS WHILE STILL FINANCED. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF FOUR AND ALWAYS HAVE MY FOUR YEAR OLD IN THE TRUCK. IT'S TO THE POINT I NO LONGER TRUST DRIVING THIS TRUCK. *TR
