Original complaint for the first time this happened was filed with the nhtsc on 9/10/2015. This is the second identical incident. On 2/14/16 my knee hit the ignition key and the ignition turned off while traveling at 55 MPH. I lost all engine, brake and steering power and coasted off road without an accident. The location and operation of the ignition key and ignition switch will eventually cause a crash and fatality like what happened with the similar gm / chevy ignition problem. I reported this to my dealer, ram hq customer care and you (nhtsc) in sept 2015 and got no response from any of you and no one seemed to care. I also contacted lieff cabraser law firm in san francisco the first time it happened on 9/10/2015 and gave them a heads up that this defect will eventually result in a crash and/or fatality and they are on notice and prepared to sue as soon as this issue kills someone. Lieff cabraser law firm specializes in these types of defects and has successfully sued several automobile manufacturers for negligence.

The inner fender made out of metal with a hard plastic shroud on previous years, has been eliminated. In its place there is now a flimsy thin plastic shroud that can be bent and deformed by hand and removed by hand with a couple of healthy tugs. This membrane is the only protection provided for ABS components, A/C and power steering hoses, and numerous other components found under the hood. When driving especially driving off road, there are numerous hazards and items that can be picked up by the tires and flung inside the wheel well. On previous year models there has been a formed metal inner fender that was stout enough to resist numerous items that may be tossed into the wheel well or into the engine compartment. Additionally, there was also a thick plastic shroud that covered the metal of the inner fender, perhaps as an additional protection against rust. None of that exists in the current 2015 ram 1500 model. This is extremely hazardous since a light item, stick, or rock can be thrown into the wheel well and will punch easily thru the thin plastic membrane. Additionally a heavier or longer item can be thrown into the engine compartment or steering components causing something to jam and limiting the ability to steer safely. Please look into this, the potential for costly repairs or catastrophe is real.
