Consumer Description

I HAD MY VEHICLE VALET PARKED WITH A SINGLE KEY IN THE IGNITION. UPON RECEIVING MY CAR I GOT INTO THE DRIVE SEAT AND PROCEEDED TO PUSH MY SEAT FORWARD SINCE I HAD A PASSENGER BEHIND ME AND WAS PROVIDING EXTRA LEG ROOM. WE PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE PARKING AREA OF THE HOTEL AND AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 15 MPH I TURN TO ADJUST AND ITEM ON THE REAR FLOOR WHEN MY KNEE HIT THE KEY AND THE ENTIRE CAR WAS SWITCHED OFF. I HAD NO STEERING SINCE IT WAS IN LOCKED POSITION AND THE BRAKES WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE ENGINE WAS OFF. I AM JUST GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. WHY IS IT TAKING CHRYSLER (FIAT) ONE YEAR TO GET A FIX FOR THIS RECALL?
