Consumer Description

THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS FINALLY REPLACED AS A RESULT OF A RECALL. SHORTLY AFTER THE REPLACEMENT WE BEGAN EXPERIENCING A SITUATION IN WHICH THE VAN WOULD NOT START. ALL WE COULD GET WAS A "CLUNK" SOUND FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS A BATTERY THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND USUALLY STARTS FINE. THE SITUATION EXISTS WHEN WE TRY TO USE EITHER KEYS. SO FAR, WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY IN THAT IT STARTS FINE AFTER AFTER 8 OR MORE TRIES; THE ENGINE WILL START AND FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO A COUPLE OF WEEKS THINGS ARE FINE AND THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SEEM TO BE OPERATING PROPERLY EXCEPT FOR THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. IT, TOO, HAS STARTED ACTING UP WITH ABOUT THE SAME FREQUENCY. THE DODGE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FEELS IT MAY BE THE BATTERY IN THE PRESSURE SENSOR VALVE. FUNNY THAT THEY BOTH STARTED ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED.
