Engine shuts off while driving. Ignition switch is so loose that it gets stuck between run and the off position and it makes for very fatal driving situations. The engine shuts off while driving, while parked, and anytime the vehicle is "bumped" up and down. There was a near crash on a busy interstate because of it. This ignition switch is the same issue that dodge has recalled in their vans, but it isn't recalled in my ram 3500 for some reason. It is a fatal flaw that will eventually cause a serious accident. Dodge has a file of this and refuses to pay for it to be fixed even though they know that it can cause a fatal crash.

I was towing a 5th wheel and the check eng. Light come on and the truck stalled whent from 60mph. To 30 MPH. I stoped for the night in the morning I got it to holiday dodge in austin mn. And was told the a code of p0087 was on and it was a low fuel rail perssure. But the part need was on back order and no dodge shope had one it would take 4 to 6 weeks to get one. After this repair was done it has been into dodge 8 time for the same thing and has cost me a lot. But I stell don't have a sefe truck. Its not safe do to the truck runing at 60mph then droping to 30mph or not runing at all. Towing a trailer and the eng. Stops on the interstate trying to get the truck and trailer off the highway with no power is not safe.
