My 2008 chrysler 300 had received two notices for recall,1 for the ignition switch and 1 for the airbag/ I called chrysler corporate for an update for the ignition switch recall which I received about 10 months ago and I was told it was no estimated date when the part will become available and I will have to wait ;after multiple phone calls I asked for them to give me a rental car in order to drive in a safe car while they will keep my car and fix the ignition and the airbag issue but I was denied the rental car and was told I will have to deal with the issue ,they will not rent a car for my family and they do not have any estimate when the ignition part will be available;even if I insisted about the safety of my family and the fact a recall for the airbag was in to, they did not care ;I went to the chrysler dealership too and the response was the same ,it looks they are on the same page;no rental car for me and as they insinuated to me if we got into a car accident " though luck"/ I am not sure what to do now ; I tried to contact chrysler corporate multiple times,. The chrysler dealership the same and still not have a solution to my problem;I am ignored by chrysler by some issues in my car very dangerous and life threatening but nothing had been done and no estimate in perspective.I will need some help to have the issue resolved;my wife was driving the car even yesterday which stalled on the middle of the street again for no reason and it happens all the time ;as my wife says " she leave her life into god's hands "I do not think this is an acceptable and responsible behavior from a such big corporation and something should be done to help customers like me in distress. Thank you for listening.

While driving down the road the engine would just lose power and shut down completely, leaving me without brakes or the ability to steer. Sometimes the ignition switch would hang and not start the engine until about the fourth or fifth try. So, I took the car in for service and repairs to fix the problem. They said the problem was in the ignition...something to do with the wcm module or win module or forbik and only the dealer could repair it. On april 1, 2014, jim cogdill dodge chrysler jeep ram, 8544 kinston pike knoxville, tn 37919 did the work. Then, after I had spent a total of $576.62 for parts and labor, I get a letter from chrysler informing me of safety recall p57 / the federal safety agency 14v‑567. November 19, 2014, I sent in all of the requested information and forms and receipts stating that I had paid for repairs and that I wanted a refund. On december 10, 2014, I received an email from chrysler's customer assistance center case manager stating that they "will be able to look into my reimbursement request further when the parts are available". As of today, april 21, 2015, the "parts" are still not available and neither is my refund. My reference with chrysler cac for this claim is case #[xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
