ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STEERED AND BRAKING WAS DIFFICULT. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP, THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND CONTINUED WITHOUT FAIL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS THAT THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. IT IS RELATED TO THE RECENT RECALL NOTICE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH CHRYSLER AS, AFTER CALLING THEM, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PLAN YET FOR THE FIX. WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THE FIX OURSELVES, BUT AT OUR COST. WHEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE IN THE ENTIRE STATE AND IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO GET THAT PART. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD EASILY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, HAD ANOTHER CAR BEEN COMING AROUND THE CORNER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
UPON STARTING MY VEHICLE, THE FOBIK SOMETIMES DOES NOT FULLY SEAT IN THE "ON" POSITION. SOMETIMES I CANNOT START MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FOBIK WILL STICK BEFORE ALLOWING ME TO FULLY TURN THE KEY. SOMETIME IT WILL STICK WHERE I CANNOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFFICE OR THE FOBIK WILL SEAT ITSELF INTO THE IGNITION WHEREBY I CANNOT REMOVE IT. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TWO YEARS AGO. THE RECALL NOTICE STATED THAT DEALERS DID NOT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. I HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED THAT THIS PART IS NOW AVAILABLE. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM. THIS HAS INCLUDED LEAKS INSIDE MY VEHICLE, LOSS OF FLUID, AND FAN NOISE. I'VE HAD SYSTEM REPAIRED NUMEROUS TIMES TO NO AVAIL. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE COOLING SYSTEM AS WELL? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. *TR
