There is a defective ignition system. Originally fine, then a recall put in a defective system 4 years ago. Received another recall notice about 1 year ago on the ignition. Called the dealer, they said they did not have parts yet but would call when they did. No call ever. Then got another recall, r03/agency14v-373. Went to luther chrysler who said no recall parts yet but maybe before august. This problem has been going on for years and the manufacturer has never responded professionally to the issue. On a second issue, I have defective brakes. Made numerous complaints to chrysler and logged a complaint with you. No response and no cure. Finally worked with midas to understand the problem and finally found the flaw. Defective mounting surface for the brake roter. Can only resurface the brakes "on the car". Brakes now work fine but it was not because of chrysler.

This vehicle is included in the l25 and r03 recalls in which the vehicle's engine can shut off "and increase the risk of a crash." I have contacted the service department of the dealership several times and am told each time that there are limited parts, they are currently out, and they do not know when/if they will receive the parts to repair my vehicle. I contacted chrysler's corporate recall customer service department, and was told the same thing. I am now forced to drive my children around in an unsafe vehicle, until when/if parts ever become available. There is absolutely no time frame in which an adequate number of parts will be shipped, or any way to track or tell when the dealership will receive it. I am forced to call everyday to check and see if I can get my vehicle fixed.
