While driving down the highway doing 65 mph, i accidentally bumped my ignition with my knee and turned off the vehicle. I did notify dodge of this via their website but did not get a response. I drive a 2012 ram 2500 and noticed it was not on the list for the ignition recall. I believe it should be looked into, i would hate for there to be a fatality because of this oversight.

While backing out of a parking space and placing the vehicle in drive to go forward, i heard a loud clunk. Stopped for a moment and checked underneath and found that the left front tire rod had broken off and was hanging almost to the ground. I took it to my regular place for maintenance and had it repaired. My research found that there is a recall for year models up through 2011 but none for 2012. *tr
