Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving at posted speed in houston traffic the engine quit running, causing a loss of steering,i was able to clear traffic and coast to the shoulder, after putting the vehicle in park the engine restarted and i continued on. I reported this incident to martin chrysler dodge in cleveland tx. I asked the service rep. If he had heard of any similar incidents he said no and there were no recalls for this. The problem has gotten worse, now i have to jiggle the key to make sure it does not shut off after starting but this does not always work, if i hit a bump or rumple strips in the road it may still die. To replace the ignition switch is between 400 and 500 at the dealership. I believe this is a problem that chrysler should foot the bill on not the consumer. The situation with the engine dying while driving at a high rate of speed in traffic could cause a very serious accident.
