Consumer Description

DODGE FOBIK, MY TRUCK USES THE SAME IGNITION SWITCH AS THE JOURNEY, AND WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT MOVING THE SWITCH. BUMPS SHUT MY TRUCK OFF, THIS SWITCH IS RIDICULOUSLY DANGEROUS. I WISH IT WAS A NORMAL SWITCH. IT HAS SHUT OFF 4 TIMES THIS WEEK, IF YOU TOUCH THE KEY IT SHUTS OFF. IT IS NOT A SAFE SYSTEM. IT STARTED THIS VERY INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MY FATHER OWNED THE TRUCK AT 53K MILES.
