Electrical system, ignitionSep 17, 2014
Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2008 Chrysler 300 vehicles manufactured May 31, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Dodge Magnum vehicles manufactured May 23, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Dodge Charger vehicles manufactured May 24, 2007, to May 12, 2008, Jeep Commander vehicles manufactured April 3, 2007, to May 12, 2008, and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured March 21, 2007, to May 12, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the ignition key (FOBIK) may not return to the "ON" position after being rotated to the "START" position, instead sticking between the two positions. Potentially, while the vehicle is being driven, the ignition may inadvertently move through the "RUN" position to the "ACCESSORY" or "OFF" ignition position, turning off the engine.
If the ignition stays between "START" and "ON" positions it could cause loss of certain electrical functions. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the "OFF" or "ACCESSORY" position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch and key FOBs, free of charge. The recall began August 19, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P57.

HAD TROUBLE STARTING MY CAR WHEN LEAVING WORK ONE NIGHT. THE CAR THEN WOULD NOT START THE NEXT DAY. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED TO HAVE A COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONING IGNITION SWITCH AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND HE DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I WAS THEN DOING ONLINE RESEARCH TO TRY TO FIND ONE ON MY OWN WHEN I COME ACROSS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I CALLED A NUMBER ON THE SITE ABOUT THE RECALL AND SHE TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT DID NOT FALL ON THE RIGHT MANUFACTURING DATE. I SAW ON THAT WEBSITE THAT THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED ON 8-15-15. MINE COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONING TWO WEEKS LATER TELLS ME THERE MAY BE MORE TO THIS THAN DODGE IS AWARE OF OR, JUST WILLING TO ADMIT. I UNDERSTAND THINGS BREAK, I UNDERSTAND AUTO REPAIRS ARE A PART OF LIFE. BUT I CANT STAND THE THOUGHT OF WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED IF IT HAD GONE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN BELTWAY AROUND WASHINGTON D.C. DURING RUSH HOUR. I SAW THAT THEY SAID 350K VEHICLES WERE ON THE RECALL LIST. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME SORT OF RESPONSE TO THIS, SO I KNOW THAT THIS WAS AT LEAST RECEIVED.
