NHTSA Complaint #10668079 — 2006 JEEP COMMANDER

I HAVE 2006 JEEP COMMANDER IN WHICH I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY VEHICLE. THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH CAUSES EVERY LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD TO ILLUMINATE AND IT CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO STALL, AS WELL AS FLICKERING LIGHTS WITH NO POWER TO FUEL GAUGES, MPH, AND RPM NEEDLES. AFTER ALL THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND GO AWAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, AND THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH DRAINS MY BATTERY CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP START BY THE NEXT DAY. WITH A SLIGHT TAP ON THE KEY IT WILL MOVE SOME OR A BUMP IN THE ROAD WILL MAKE THE IGNITION SWITCH START ACTING UP AND MAKE SOME OF THE PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED SYMPTOMS ACT UP. OCCASIONALLY THERE ARE CLICKS THAT COME FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED, WHICH SIGNIFIES THAT THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH IS GOING TO FAIL SOON. I RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION FROM THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION ABOUT THE RECALL AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN IT, BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE SECOND NOTICE TO THIS DATE ABOUT WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I CALLED IN NOVEMBER TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE BUT I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. SO THIS LEAVES ME AT THE END OF THE ROAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. I CHECK ONLINE ALMOST ALL THE TIME FOR UPDATES AND STILL THE SAME THING. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS RECALL SINCE IT POPPED UP IN THE NEWS BEFORE I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE THAT THE KEY WILL MOVE INTO THE WRONG PLACES DISABLING MY CAR OR WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH ACTS UP IT WILL MAKE ME LOOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND IT COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR ME OR ANY OF MY PASSENGERS EVEN FATAL. SAFETY SHOULD BE CHRYSLERS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. AT THIS POINT I HOPE TO GET RID OF THIS CAR AND MOVE AWAY FROM CHRYSLER'S PRODUCTS FOR GOOD ESPECIALLY SINCE FIAT IS RUNNING THE SHOW! *TR
