ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE, RESULTING IN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF - NO ENGINE POWER, NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING. THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS. MY CAR IS ON THE RECALL LIST WITH DODGE SINCE LAST NOVEMBER, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO GET THE PARTS IN TO FIX IT. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET PARTS IN TO FIX WHAT COULD BE A CATASTROPHIC AND DEADLY PROBLEM IN THE LAST 7 MONTHS. I'M ALSO BEING TOLD MY CAR HAS THE AIRBAG RECALL TO GO ALONG WITH IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PUT SOME PRESSURE ON DODGE TO EITHER GET MY CAR FIXED OR GET ME A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE IN THE MEANTIME? MY LIFE, AND POTENTIALLY MY FAMILY'S LIFE COULD DEPEND ON IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IGNITION ISSUE, WOULDN'T START. DODGE REPLACED THE MODULE, IGNITION AND ADDITIONAL FOB'S. I PAID $806.21 TO PAY FOR REPAIR. IN DECEMBER 2014 I RECEIVED A RECALL P57/NHTSA 14V-567 STATING RECALL OF A FOBIK. IT SAYS I CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL PARTS COME IN BUT IF I ALREADY HAD IT REPAIRED I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE IS AN IGNITION RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT THERE ISN'T ANY PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. IT DOESN'T REGISTER THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WON'T START. I'VE REPLACED BATTERIES IN THE KEY AS WELL AS REPLACED THE KEY LAST YEAR. NORMALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL REGISTER THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND START. LATELY IT HAS BEEN TAKING LONGER AND LONGER. (USE TO BE 5 MINUTES, THEN 10, LAST WEEK 20 MINUTES, TODAY 45 MINUTES.) THIS CAR IS GOING TO LEAVE ME STRANDED SOMEWHERE AGAIN. I ALREADY GOT STUCK IN ALABAMA DUE TO VISITING HERE WHEN THE NOTORIOUS 2.7 JUMPED TIMING DUE TO THEIR FAULTY DESIGN AND I HAD TO GET THE ENGINE COMPLETELY REBUILT. I LOST MY JOB IN MICHIGAN, RUINED MY CREDIT BECAUSE I GOT BEHIND IN PAYMENTS DUE TO PAYING FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. THIS CAR IS A LEMON. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE AND DODGE CAN'T/ WON'T FIX THEIR MISTAKES. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I ALSO HAD A CAR ACCIDENT IN 2013 WHERE I WAS STRUCK BY A DRUNK DRIVER AND THE AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF. NOW I AM HEARING THERE IS AN AIRBAG RECALL AS WELL WITH NO REPLACEMENT PARTS.

I HAD THE CODES CHECKED ON THE COMPUTER AND GOT A P57 CODE. IT THE IGNITION IN THE SWITCH. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART. I CALLED THE RECALL HOT LINE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND COULD NOT GIVE ME AN EXACT ARRIVAL DATE. I HOPE THAT I DON'T LOSE MY JOB OVER THIS RECALL.
