When we went to crank the car, which cranked just fine 2 hours earlier, it would not start. The ignition would turn but nothing happened. Also all lights and electronics would not cut on. After doing web research, I discovered that there was a recall on the ignition ( win module). I had the car towed to dodge because it would not start or move. They replaced the win module and it runs fine. They told me I would get reimbursed through chrysler because it is a recall part. I paid 450.00 for the repair. Now chrysler corp. Is telling me I will not be reimbursed for the repair because they have not released the part. And better yet when I get a 2nd notice of the recall, I still have to have it fixed. I had no choice but to fix the car because it is my son's only way of going and he works full time. It says on the recall website they will reimburse you so what do I need to do to get my money back? Should I get a lawyer? Please help!

The vehicle tends to fail electrically when driving. All dashboard indicator lights go on, power steering and power brakes seem to fail, lights go out and wipers stop functioning. I've been caught in the rain at night on more than one occasion and suddenly without lights, wipers, the ability to check my speed direction etc. I believe there's an outstanding recall to address this 14v‑567 but according to the manufacturer the new part hasn't been made yet and isn't expected until mid-2015. This is dangerously unacceptable.

I was driving when the car suddenly stalled out. A few months later there was a recall notice for a faulty ignition switch. A couple of months after that, the car suddenly lost power as I was driving down the road. I took it to the repair shop, and they still can't figure out what the problem is. I'm requesting a loaner vehicle until the recall problem is fixed, before an accident happens.
I was driving on the parkway approx. 60mph, the breaks felt like they were slowing down the car without being pressed. The warning lights were also going off and on. On the second road, I was going 40mph when the fuel light suddenly came on, but my gas tank was half full. The needle on the car tank went to empty then the car just shut off in the middle of the road. I managed to steer it to the side, and it restarted again.
