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.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS MY VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO START INTIALLY, I RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH LATE LAST YEAR 2014. I WAS TOLD AFTER MANY PHONE CALLS TO DEALERSHIPS THERE WOULD BE AN UPDATE AND THE PARTS WERE NOT IN TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE SOMETIMES FOR 20 MINUTES AT A TIME. THIS PAST WEDNESDAY AS I DROVE HOME FROM WORK ON A VERY HIGH SPEED EXPRESSWAY, MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. IT RESTARTED ON IT'S OWN ONCE AND THEN ALL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN, LEAVING ME COASTING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL TO A STOP SAFELY. I CALLED MY ROADSIDE SERVICE AND WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT THE "RECALL" ISSUE THAT CAUSED THIS BUT A SHORT IN A WIRE THAT CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO FAIL COMPLETELY . I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THE REPAIR, AND SUBSEQUENTLY MY WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE REPAIR EXCEPT MY 200.00 DEDUCTIBLE. BEING THAT THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION I AUTHORIZED IT. THE REPAIR WAS DONE AND MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME ON FRIDAY JUL 17, 2015. UPON RETURN THE SERVICE TECH NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, AND ADVISED ME TO GO GET MY BATTERY CHECKED AS IT HAD BEEN DRAINED. I DID THIS AND FOUND THE BATTERY TO BE IN "GOOD" CONDITION. SUNDAY JUL 19, 2015 ON A QUICK TRIP TO THE STORE, I WAS GREETED AGAIN WITH A "FAILURE TO START" ISSUE. THIS LEFT MYSELF AND MY CHILD IN A STRANDED STATE UNTIL A FRIEND COULD ARRIVED TO GIVE ME A JUMP. AFTER PAYING TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED AND PROMISED THE RECALL ISSUE WOULD NOT CAUSE ME TO BE STRANDED, I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND FEARFUL THAT MY VEHICLE IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. I NEED A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM ASAP.
