Description of the problem	When it is very hot and the windows have been up, the ignition switch will not turn. The steering wheel will not turn and the key will not rotate from locked position. I have contacted dodge and they say they have made notes on the issue, but they don't see a problem that they are responsible for. If this was an issue that i would have control of creating - it would be my problem. This is an issue with safety in that if i had an emergency and this happened i would not be able to start my car. Or, have a car-full of groceries and find out the car won't start!!! Bad enough i have to wait for the car to cool off when this happens. This is a summertime issue which makes me have to find shade or park where the sun doesn't shine into the front of the car. Problem seems to be a part (probably plastic) that expands when it gets very hot and prevents the key cylinder from rotating. This can't be the only car with this issue as dodge would elude to . . .
