Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS A PLASTIC KEY FOB USED AS THE KEY. SOMETIMES I TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY REPEATEDLY IN THE FOB ITSELF. I WISH IT HAD A METAL KEY SO I COULD FIGURE OUT IF IT IS SOMETHING IN THE IGNITION OR IN THE FOB ITSELF. I'M AFRAID I AM GOING TO LOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING AND CRASH. THE DEALER SAID A NEW IGNITION IS OVER $1000 BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED THIS WILL SOLVE MY ISSUE. I AM ALSO AFRAID AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM COULD MAKE MY AIRBAGS NOT WORK OR A FIRE INSIDE. I KNOW CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED 2 MILLION CARS FOR IGNITION ISSUES BUT MINE HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED THUS FAR AND I'M NOT SURE WHY. I DO NOT THINK THE PROBLEM WILL MAGICALLY CORRECT ITSELF, BUT IT IS INTERMITTENT WITH NO RHYME OR REASON JUST DEPENDS
