TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE AS NORMAL. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY DIM AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT FAILED CAUSING THE BULB TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES JERK FORWARD AND A SECTION OF THE DASHBOARD WOULD DETACH AND FALL TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,859.
IGNITION AND KEY ARE DEFECTIVE. IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM VEHICLE IGNITION DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IGNITION KEY FELL OUT OF IGNITION WHILE DRIVING. IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND IN MOTION. VEHICLE SOMETIMES DOES NOT NEED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO START THE ENGINE. IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING THE KEY CAN BE VERY EASILY PULLED OUT OF THE IGNITION ASSEMBLY, THE KEY JUST SLIPS RIGHT OUT OF THE IGNITION. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ASKED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FORWARD THE COMPLAINT TO A HIGHER UP PERSON IN CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT AFTER MY PHONE CALL, THAT WAS THE END OF THE ISSUE AND CHRYSLER TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM CONCERNING A DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH.
