Description of the problem	Mine is doing the same as the rest! And no help from a dealer or anyone! About a month and a half ago i was traveling in cruise at 70mph started to notice every crack in the hwy my headlights would flicker, figured one was going bad. 15 miles later my dash, radio, headlights, and cruise all shut off on me. In the blink of an eye they come back on (including all the warning lights), except for my cruise. Remembering the recall notice, the parts i can't get, and the fact i was a service writer for 8 years at a dealership, i realized my truck had shut off and turned back on (my key never moved). So as i drive on it starts doing it every 20 min or so. The next day on my way home it started doing it again. Now when i drive short distances in the cold (northern wi) it does not happen nearly as much, now longer distance with the heat blowing the whole way it happens regularly, i also notice if i take the key out of the ignition its very warm almost hot.. The last straw was this last weekend, i was making our yearly spring cabin run, traveling at around 35/40 mph on a gravel road my entire truck went dead, key was in the on position and i lost all power to everything , not wanting to lose control, i grabbed for the key ( again going back to the recall) and i literally turned the key from the run position to off to the run position and it restarted (doing this as i'm rolling down a gravel road with no power brakes or steering at 35/40mph). Also noted that it was not just me in the vehicle! I've read, watched videos on this, talked to other owner and now have been dealing with this first hand. After it turning off completely, this is way more dangerous than chrysler is admitting. My next step is putting a new "bad" switch in, if this one made it 80,000 miles why can't the next, however sadly it will be on my dime. Hope this helps and if you have this issue be very careful!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
