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.

IT CAME ON AGAIN YESTERDAY. FRUSTRATION AND DECEIT DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO COVER MY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW. THEY ALSO CLAIM THE PARTS FOR THE RECALLS AREN'T AVAILABLE. NOT A SUFFICIENT ANSWER.

VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH IGNITION SWITCH, SOMETIMES AS SOON AS I START THE CAR THEN ENGINE WILL DIE. I THOUGHT INITIALLY THAT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG AND I LET IT PASS BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS NOT HEAVILY USED, BUT STARTED SEEING ONLINE THAT PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. I TRIED SWITCHING KEYFOBS BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, I'VE NEVER HAD THE ENGINE DIE ON ME WHILE DRIVING, BUT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD HAPPEN. I NOW HAVE REMOVED EVERYTHING FROM MY KEY CHAIN FOR THIS CAR AND BASICALLY DRIVE THE CAR WITH ONLY A VERY LIGHT KEY RING ATTACHED TO THE KEY. I ALSO HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE CAME TO ME. THAT WAS LAST YEAR! I'VE REPEATEDLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL. A FEW WEEKS AGO (TODAY IS 9/24/2015) I GOT A NEW NOTICE TO TAKE THE CAR IN, CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, GOT THE CAR IN THE SHOP; SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME IN THE AFTERNOON STATING THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE PARTS!! AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY'LL BE AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL (P57) AND (R25) ARE ISSUES THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF FUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING. TO ME IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT MAKING SURE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THAT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.
