NHTSA Complaint #10731437 — 2008 CHRYSLER 300

MY WIFE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR CHOSE THAT TIME TO SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. SHE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND IT HAS OPERATED NORMALLY SINCE. THIS PROBLEM IS THE SUBJECT OF A FIAT-CHRYSLER RECALL, # P57 (NTHSA 14V-567). THE ORIGINAL NOTICE OF THE RECALL WAS RECEIVED IN NOVEMBER, AND CHRYSLER HAS CLAIMED NOT TO HAVE THE NEEDED PARTS ON HAND EVER SINCE. I FEEL THAT THE DELAY IS UNREASONABLE, AND THAT THOSE ESPECIALLY WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD BE OFFERED A REPAIR IMMEDIATELY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THERE ARE SUFFICIENT NUMBERS OF PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE REMAINING MILLIONS OF VEHICLES AT THIS TIME.
