Consumer Description

STOPPED FOR GAS THEN DROVE 100 FEET TO STORE. TEN MINUTES LATER TRUCK HAD NO ELECTRICAL POWER, HAD TO USE KEY TO OPEN DOOR. ENTIRE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DODGE DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED BAD WINN IGNITION MODULE TRUCK ONLY HAD 38,000 MILES ON IT. SAME THING HAPPENED AT 35,600 MILES AND DEALERSHIP REPLACED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. THIS PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME EVEN WHEN DRIVING ACCORDING TO OTHER REMARKS. I TOLD SERVICE TECH THAT A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK THE KEY WILL NOT ENGAGE ON FIRST TRY BUT THEN WILL START VEHICLE AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. HE SAID THAT IS AN INDICATION OF THE MODULE GOING BAD. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOW AT 36,000 MILES OR LESS. I WILL SUBMIT REPAIR ORDERS TO DODGE TO BE REIMBURSED (LOL).
