Consumer Description

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE TO PUT THE KEY IN REPEATEDLY JUST TO GET IT TO CATCH SO IT'LL START. DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER I'M DRIVING DOWN THE STREET OR OUT ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK JUST TURNS OFF. I'VE HAD IT SHUT DOWN GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, ON THE HIGHWAY WITH PEOPLE COMING UP ON ME GOING 70 MPH. I CALLED DODGE & THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST 6-8 HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I'M FINDING THAT A LITTLE HARD TO SWALLOW, SINCE I'VE DONE NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO EVENTUALLY CAUSE A WRECK
