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. I SPOKE TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AT (800) 334-9200. THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE IS APPROXIMATE AND THE PROBLEM STARTED SIX YEARS AGO AND THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING THROUGH TODAY. AN INTERNET SEARCH YIELDS COUNTLESS OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME SUBJECT MATTER. THE CONDITION IS UNSAFE AND PLEASE LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. BEING UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THE DRIVER RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES TO HER HAND. THE POLICE WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED AND HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING LINKAGE FRACTURED DUE TO THE FRAME BEING RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 136,000.

THIS TRUCK HAS ALWAYS HAD PLAY IN STEERING. IN ORDER FOR ME TO GO STRAIGHT, THE WHEEL HAS TO BE TURNED ABOUT 45 DEGREES TO THE LEFT, EVEN AFTER AN ALIGNMENT. I HAVE GONE THROUGH MULTIPLE TIE ROD ENDS, AND OTHER STEERING COMPONENTS. I CAN TURN THE WHEEL ABOUT 25% BACK AND FORTH, AND THE TRUCK GOES NO WHERE WHICH IS NOT SAFE, WAY TO MUCH PLAY IN STEERING AND I'VE SEEN A LOT OF INCIDENTS WHERE THIS HAPPENED WITH OTHER PEOPLE. DODGE NEEDS A RECALL. *TR

THE "DODGE DEATH WOBBLE" IS FOR REAL. WHILE DRIVING MY 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 ON THE INTERSTATE, I WENT OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE WHOLE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL AND DID NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO UNDER 20 MPH. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DODGE SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN FIVE TIMES IN MY TRUCK. *TR

TL* - THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH THE BRAKES FAILED. THE MECHANIC ADVISED HIM THAT THE HYDRAULIC LINES RUSTED, AND THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM MUST BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS BEFORE OR AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. 50 MILES PRIOR TO INCIDENT THE VEHICLE PASSED SAFETY INSPECTION. A YEAR AGO WHILE LEAVING HIS DRIVEWAY A BOLT FOR THE STEERING IDLE ARM FELL OFF THE VEHICLE. THE RUSTED BRAKE AREA WAS NOT EXPOSED AND RUSTED NEAR THE GAS TANK. *AK
