I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE, ALSO CALLED THE FOBIC ON 1 SEPTEMBER 2014. RECALL NUMBER P57 / NHTSA 14V-567. I ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL NUMBER R25 ON THE AIR BAGS. IT HAS BEEN 1 YEAR AND THE DEALER STILL CAN NOT GET THE PARTS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY LETTER AS THEY SAID. I FOUND OUT JUST BY CHANCE ON GOOGLE SINCE MY CAR WAS ACTING UP WAY TOO MUCH. MY CAR IS TURNING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS! I HAVE TWO KIDS AND I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH. I HAD TO USE THE E-BRAKE TO STOP BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK AND MY POWER BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. AT TIMES MY CAR WILL TURN ON EVERY LIGHT ON THE SPEEDOMETER BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS WRONG. I ASKED THE MANUFACTURER IF THEY COULD ISSUE ME A RENTAL AND THEY SAID NO. MY WIFE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, MARCH, 2015, (WE HAVE DOCUMENTS) AND GOOD THING IT WASN'T A SEVERE ACCIDENT SINCE NOW WE KNOW THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. SOMEONE HIT MY WIFE, IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME. THIS CAR IS A CASKET FOR MY WHOLE FAMILY AND I SUPPOSE THEY ARE WAITING FOR A LAWSUIT FIRST BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING. NOT ONLY IS THIS CAR RECALLED, THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET TO FIX IT! SOMETIMES MY CAR WON'T EVEN TURN ON AND WE GET VERY HOT IN THE CAR, I KEEP TRYING BECAUSE STARTS UP AFTER A WHILE AND MY KIDS AND I ARE STUCK IN THE HEAT, MIND THAT MY KIDS ARE 10 MONTHS AND 2 YEARS OLD.

STEERING
I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK. FIRST THE CAR DIDNT WANT TO START IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES WITH NOTHING HAPPENING I COULD TURN THE KEY BUT THE CAR WOULD DO NOTHING. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR STARTED AND ON THE WAY TO WORK I MADE A TURN AND IT MADE A LOUD POP IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEN THE STEERING TRIED TO LOCK UP. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN CORINTH MISSISSIPPI AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO COST 1100 TO FIX IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND THE CAR COMPANY SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS. WELL IT IS GETTING BAD NOW SOMTIMES IT WONT START FOR 30 MIN AND THE STEERING STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I AM GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IT STARTED WITH THE KEY GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION, I WOULD HAVE TO SIT IN THE CAR AND WAIT UNTIL I HEAR A CLICKING NOISE. I THINK THAT'S WHEN THE KEY IS REALEASED AND I CAN PULL THE KEY OUT. AT FIRST IT TOOK AS LONG AS 5 TO 10 MINUTES. NOW IT CAN TAKE UP TO THREE HOURS, I WOULD LEAVE THE KEY IN THE CAR, COME BACK AND CHECK ON THE KEY TO SEE IF I CAN PULL THE KEY OUT AND MAKE SURE THE CAR IS OFF. THE LAST TIME WHICH WAS 2 WEEKS AGO MY BATTERY WAS DRAINED AND I HAD TO GET SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A JUMP. THIS MORNING I GO TO WORK PARKED THE PROCEED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PULL THE KEY OUT AND THE KEY WAS STUCK AS USUAL. I CAME BACK OUT 30 MINUTES LATER TO SEE IF THE KEY WAS RELEASED AND IT WAS SO I PULLED THE KEY OUT THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. I WENT TO GO TO LUNCH AND PROCEEDED TO PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR DOES NOT TURN ON. THE BATTERY IS WORKING BECAUSE I HAVE LIGHTS AND THE LOCK ON THE DOORS ARE WORKING. THIS IS SUCH AND INCONVIENCE TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON 7/17/2015 MY CAR DID NOT START WHILE MAKING A STOP ON MY 3 HOUR DRIVE TO MY VACATION IN CARMEL CA. AFTER MANY TRIES, MY CAR STARTED. FROM THERE THE CARE WENT DOWNHILL AND STARTED ONLY RARELY. MY FATHER WHO HAS A MECHANIC BACKGROUND DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS THE WIN IGNITION SWITCH WHICH WAS RECALLED IN SEPTEMBER 2014. OVER THE 4 DAY VACATION I LEFT MY CAR IDLE AND DIDN'T DRIVE IT. ON THE LAST DAY OF THE TRIP I GOT MY CAR TO START. WHEN TURNING THE KEY/FOB NOTHING HAPPENS. NO CRANKING, NO ELECTRICITY, IT IS AS IF I DIDN'T EVEN PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AT ALL. SOMETIMES AFTER A HUNDRED TRIES THE CAR WON'T DO ANYTHING AND THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL TURN ON. I DROVE THE CAR DIRECTLY TO THE REDWOOD CITY CA DODGE DEALERSHIP AUTO REPAIR (#605-529-1927). THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE WIN IGNITION SWITCH AS WELL AND ATTEMPTED TO ORDER THE PART FROM "MOPAR PARTS." MOPAR PARTS STATED THAT THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH, PART NUMBER CBTTP57CAA IS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL 8/28/2015. IN THE INTERIM, THEY WILL NOT RELEASE THE OLD IGNITION SWITCH AS A TEMPORARY FIX. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AS IT RARELY STARTS. IT HAS BEEN SITTING IDLE AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. 24 DAYS HAVE PASSED IN WHICH I HAVE NOT HAD A CAR. I HAVE HAD TO GET RIDES TO WORK. I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 4 DAYS WHICH WAS A COST TO ME OF $200. THE PART WILL NOT BE ORDERABLE UNTIL 8/28 (RIDICULOUS SINCE THE RECALL WAS 9/2014) WHICH LIKELY MEANS 3 MORE WEEKS OF NO CAR. I HAVE BEEN OFFERED NO RENTAL CAR FREE OF CHARGE IN THE INTERIM. I DO NOT HAVE A BACK UP CAR AND WILL HAVE TO INCUR ADDITIONAL RENTAL CAR EXPENSES. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL THE VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN PLACED ON HOLD FOR A LONG DURATION. I THINK AT A MINIMUM THE IGNITION SWITCH SHOULD BE RELEASED TO ME AND FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. IF THIS CANNOT BE DONE, I THINK A RENTAL CAR SHOULD BE ISSUED TO ME FOR THE REMAINING DURATION OF THE WAIT PERIOD.
