Consumer Description

TODAY I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SO THEY COULD DIAGNOSE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I WAS HAVING IN MY TRUCK. THEY TOLD ME THAT PART # 56045112AE, 56051949AD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHICH ARE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE IGNITION WIRE HARNESS. PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WERE THE POWER WINDOWS WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN WITHOUT THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY IN THE UP POSITION. THE MOTOR BLOWERS FOR MY A/C AND HEAT WOULD SOMETIMES NOT WORK. AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON IN THE CLUSTER PANEL. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WIRES WERE BURNT, BUT COULD NOT TELL ME THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THAT THERE MUST BE COMPLETELY TOO MUCH CURRENT GOING THROUGH THOSE WIRES TO CAUSE A PROBLEM LIKE THAT AND THEY AGREED. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE WIRES BEING IN THAT CONDITION THE AIRBAG COULD POSSIBLY GO OFF AT ANY TIME AND/OR CAUSE A FIRE. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. WHEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH DODGE TRUCKS AND JEEPS. ALSO PART NUMBER 56051949AD HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED SO HOW DO THEY EXPECT TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. MY TRUCK ALSO HAS THE STALLING PROBLEM WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND ACCELERATING.
