ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY KEYS WERE ABLE TO BE PULLED OUT OF IGNITION SWITCH WITH JUST OVER 40000 MILES ON VEHICLE WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING DROVE. NOW THE VEHICLE WAS 8 YEARS OLD WHEN I BOUGHT FROM SOMEONE BUT ONLY 40000 MILES WERE ON IT. AS TIME WENT ON LITTLE THINGS STARTED HAPPENING, LIGHTS ON DASH WOULD COME ON THEN SHUT OFF. AIR WOULD STAY ON EVEN AFTER SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF. THEN THAT WOULD DRAIN BATTERY. THE SWITCH WOULD BECOME MORE LOOSE OVER TIME. KEYS WOULDN'T EVEN STAY IN IGNITION, THEY WOULD JUST FALL OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

STEERING
DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 80 MPH AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE STEERING BEGAN TO SHAKE VERY VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO SLOW THE TRUCK TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE STEERING WOULD STOP SHAKING. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASHBOARD STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT HAS EXPANDED TO MANY CRACKS, WITH PIECES FALLING INTO THE DASH ITSELF. I AM AFRAID THAT THESE PIECES WILL CAUSE A MALFUNCTION OF LIGHTS OR WHATEVER IS DOWN THERE, WHILE I'M DRIVING. MY TRUCK ISN'T THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, MOST 1999 DODGE RAMS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T SEE WHY THE COMPANY IS NOT OBLIGATED TO FIX THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHEN IT IS VERY HOT AND THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN UP, THE IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN AND THE KEY WILL NOT ROTATE FROM LOCKED POSITION. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE MADE NOTES ON THE ISSUE, BUT THEY DON'T SEE A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. IF THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT I WOULD HAVE CONTROL OF CREATING - IT WOULD BE MY PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SAFETY IN THAT IF I HAD AN EMERGENCY AND THIS HAPPENED I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START MY CAR. OR, HAVE A CAR-FULL OF GROCERIES AND FIND OUT THE CAR WON'T START!!! BAD ENOUGH I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CAR TO COOL OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A SUMMERTIME ISSUE WHICH MAKES ME HAVE TO FIND SHADE OR PARK WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE INTO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A PART (PROBABLY PLASTIC) THAT EXPANDS WHEN IT GETS VERY HOT AND PREVENTS THE KEY CYLINDER FROM ROTATING. THIS CAN'T BE THE ONLY CAR WITH THIS ISSUE AS DODGE WOULD ELUDE TO . . .
