   My truck first started having trouble starting .when driving engine it would shut-off at anytime making it dangerous to steer and breakdown in traffic. There was no fault codes or warning lights on dash . After doing testing I found that the fuel pump relay was shut-off. Tipm is faulty and all Chrysler that have this style of tipm should be added to recall . I purchased a external fuel pump relay harness to repair tipm.

   The digital instrument cluster gauges does not work sometimes and the digital speedometer does not does not work at all. Without the gauges its hard to say how slow/fast or what the vehicle is doing. It was just inspected. No prior signs or symptoms of this. I know this is not the first this has happened but over several years of dodge ram trucks do this.

    Ignition switch. There is an old recall on this switch but my trucks vin # was not included. I complained awhile back and still it was not added. 11373017. My switch needs to be recalled. I’m having the same exact problems originally reported. On more than one occasion I have almost gotten in an accident because of the keys falling out and getting jammed underneath the gas pedal.
