ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD CHRYSLER RECALL P57. IGNITION INTERMITTENTLY WOULD STICK ON START CAUSING THE ENGINE TO CONTINUOUSLY CRANK BUT NOT START. CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. WOULD RESUME NORMALLY WHEN RESTARTED. IS OCCURRING MORE AND MORE AND MY WIFE ALMOST WRECKED YESTERDAY BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I AM TOLD RECALL ONLY COVERS CHARGERS BUILT BETWEEN MAY 24, 2007, TO MAY 12, 2008. MY WIFE'S WAS BUILT ON JULY 3, 2008. RESEARCHING ONLINE IT IS NOT ISOLATED TO OUR CAR. I FEEL THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO OTHER 2008 CHARGERS WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
I DRIVE TO WORK EVERY DAY AND I CAN FEEL MY CAR SHACKING WHILE I HAVE THE CAR ON DRIVE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE SLIDING OF THE ROAD WITH OUT CONTROL. ALSO MY BREAKS HAS LOST CONTROL ON ME WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH. THESE ISSUES IM EXPERIENCING ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING MY VEHICLE EVEN IF IM DRIVING SLOW. THE LAST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED 9/12/18, BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE ISSUES ARE NOT REPORTED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONSIDERED AS A RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IF THE IGNITION STAYS BETWEEN "START" AND "ON" POSITIONS IT COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CERTAIN ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. IF THE IGNITION KEY INADVERTENTLY MOVES INTO THE "OFF" OR "ACCESSORY" POSITION, THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF, WHICH WILL THEN DEPOWER VARIOUS KEY SAFETY SYSTEMS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO AIR BAGS, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKING. LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY OF THESE SYSTEMS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF CRASH AND/OR INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
