Consumer Description

THERE IS ACTUALLY A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR MY VEHICLE, P41/NHTSA 14V-438. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES CALLING CHRYSLER'S GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 800-853-1403 AND GET AUTOMATED RESPONSE THAT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, MAINLY WHILE USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, MY KNEE HAS HIT THE SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. MOST TIMES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY. HOWEVER, RECENTLY I LOST ALL POWER AND ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS RAPIDLY APPROACHING ME FROM BEHIND AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART, I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE, JUST NARROWLY AVOIDING GETTING REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE. NOW, I HAVE A 15 YEAR OLD THAT IS STARTING TO DRIVE AND IT SCARES ME TO HAVE MY CHILD DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO EXPEDITE CHRYSLER FIXING THIS PROBLEM OR POSSIBLY BUY BACK THIS VEHICLE AS IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
