| Ignition Switch problems |
The ignition switch snapped back and turns the key off resulting in a complete engine and electrical shut down at speed. The steering and brakes do not work at that point. It happened twice while going 70 mph on the freeway. One additional time, the ignition switched snapped back, and the engine turned off, then back on again. Johnson auto plaza in brighton, CO, told me it's a known issue, and the switch is now af or in its 5th generation. This replacement just cost me $593. 00. Please put a notice out there and force ram to issue a recall for free or else this could end up killing people.
