ELECTRICAL: IGNITION KEY LOCKING UP & UNABLE TO TURN THE KEY TO START THE VEHICLE. HAD TO FORCIBLY TURN OR WIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH IS LOCKED, IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY TO TURN. NUMEROUS OCCASIONS HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE & RETURN IN THE FUTURE TO ATTEMPT TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY. TURN SIGNAL (SERVICE BULLETIN 08-002-12) FLASHES & INTERMITTENT WIPERS OPERATE INCORRECTLY. SUDDEN FLASHING BACK & FORTH OF SIGNALS HAS ALMOST CAUSED CAR CRASHES ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. INTERMITTENT WIPERS STOP SUDDENLY AT MID WINDSHIELD POINT OBSTRUCTING VIEW. BOTH OPERATED FROM THE SAME LEFT HANDLE. CRUISE CONTROL SURGES CONSTANTLY WHEN ENGAGED. NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SURGED SUDDENLY ON A HILL OR BRIDGE ALMOST CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER IN CLANTON, ALABAMA IN APRIL 2014. I WAS DRIVING TO MY MOM'S, WHO LIVES IN MISSISSIPPI WHEN I CAME UPON A BRIDGE ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE PASSING A 18 WHEELER. WHEN ENTERING THE BRIDGE THERE WAS A SMALL BUMP UP AND WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS OF THE TRUCK HIT THE BUMP THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING (DEATH BOUNCE OR ROLL) UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAD TO CUT OFF THE 18 WHEELER THAT I WAS PASSING AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR IT TO STOP. IT HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE AND CAUSING ME TO ALMOST WRECK EACH TIME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING WHILE IT IS DOING THIS IT JUST BOUNCES YOU ALL OVER THE ROAD. I HAVE TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF ALL DODGE TRUCKS THAT WAS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WISH TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER, PLEASE. WITH ONLY 82K MILES ON THIS TRUCK THE ENTIRE FRT END SHOULD NOT BE BAD!! THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC WAS A DEFECT FROM FACTORY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE ENTIRE FRT SUSPENSION NOT JUST THE TIE ROD, BECAUSE THE TIE ROD IS NOT CORRECTING THE DEATH BOUNCE/ROLL PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCKS. I HAVE A YOUNG SON AND A GRAND BABY WHO HAS TO RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK WITH MY SELF IN IT. I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
