I purchased my current truck band new and have been the only owner. i place the key into the ignition and it does not allow me to turn the key to crank the truck. it acts as if the anti locking device is keeping the key from turning. my previous dodge ram 1500 pickup i purchased new had the same problem. i had to replace the ignition switch at my own cost. i have seen several recalls with other chrysler products doing the same exact thing. it appears to be a reoccurring problem. the vehicle is in the stationary position and has left me stranded. i have seen youtube video of the person tapping on the end of the key while in the ignition which seems to work on occasion.

For the past week my engine was difficult to start. cranked for about 20 second before starting. today the engine cranked but failed to start. after opening the hood and checking the battery i noticed a burning smell coming from the fuse box, tipm, which is located adjacent to the battery. i opened the cover to the tipm and noticed white powder, acid. the negative lead which is also connected to the outside of the tipm had white powder residue on the connector. i tried once again to start the vehicle but only cranked. then some smoke was observed coming from the tipm. i immediately stopped and made sure nothing was still burning. i read on line that tipm failure is common with my vehicle and other chrysler products but a recall was not issued. this could have turned into a safety issue if my vehicle began to catch fire. i have to spend $100 in towing cost and ~$800 to repair.
