RECALL # P57/NHTSA 14V-567 (REGISTERED UNDER AIM NATIONALEASE) I WRITING YOU DUE TO THE FACT THAT I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE ON 11/26/14 AND MY SERVICE MANAGER HAS CALLED THE DEALER MANY TIMES TO ONLY GET THE ANSWER WE DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS RECALL. I FEEL THIS IS NOT THE RESPONSE THE PUBLIC SHOULD GET EVERY TIME WE CALL A CHRYSLER DEALER. WE ARE A TRANSPORTATION COMPANY THAT DEALS WITH CLASS A EQUIPMENT AND MAKE SURE OUR VEHICLES ARE SAFE DAILY TO BE ON THE ROAD. I WOULD EXPECT THAT WE SHOULD GET A BETTER RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER ON THE ISSUE. PLEASE RESPOND WITH THE REPAIR DEALER YOU WOULD LIKE US TO GET THIS CAR FIXED.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH BACK IN NOVEMBER 2014. THE SWITCH BEGAN FAILING IN LATE APRIL 2015. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP (MIKE ANDERSON DODGE IN MARION, INDIANA). THEY SAID ALL THEY COULD DO WAS REPLACE THE PART WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART AND CHARGE US FOR THE PART AND THE LABOR. THEY REPLACED THE PART WITH A PART THEY KNOW IS DEFECTIVE AND PLACES OUR LIVES IN DANGER AND CHARGED US $565.00 TO DO SO. THEY SAID THAT WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART BECOMES AVAILABLE THAT CHRYSLER MAY REIMBURSE US. THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT.

THE ONLY POWER I HAVE IS FROM THE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK/LOCK THE DOOR OPEN THE TRUNK AND THE HEAD LIGHTS WORK. BUT MY RADIO DOESN'T WORK, LOCKS, WINDOWS, HORN, OR ANYTHING ELSE. WHEN I TURN THE KEY FOB TO START ITS JUST DEAD WITH NO POWER OR CRANK. I DID NOTICE OVER THE PAST FEW DAY THAT WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THAT THERE WAS A LONGER DELAY BEFORE IT WOULD START. HAD THE TIPM REPLACED BUT IT STILL WILL NOT START, WAS TOLD THAT THE WIN IS BAD AND NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WITH NO WIN MODULE THEN THERE IS NO IGNITION, CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE WIN BUT DO NOT WANT TO FIX IT. *TR
