While slowing to make a turn in a left turn lane, right knee contacted the ignition key causing the engine to shut down. I was already braking, so came to stop, without incident, and restarted the engine. Chrysler sent us a notification of recall several months ago and indicated that they would notify us when parts were available to fix the problem. A subsequent notification suggested positioning the seat such that it would keep the knee from contacting the key. This is an absurd suggestion by chrysler. If I do what their suggestion says, I must drive with my arms almost fully extended, which then means that the driver is not optimally positioned for the air bag protection. I think that the us dept of transportation needs to call chrysler out on this and get the problem resolved before some unintended consequences occur as a result of their temp fix solution.
This is in regards to chrysler's recall of ignition switches - p41. A notice that a safety recall was in effect was announced early summer of 2014 and since then chrysler keeps saying the part is unavailable. It's well over six months since the recall was announced. I have called chrysler 3 times and they cannot provide an answer to when the part will be available. My jeep continues to have ignition switch problems, while I drive two small children on a daily basis. It is unacceptable that chrysler knows about the dangerous switch problem and yet has done nothing to timely remedy the situation and make the part available to affected consumers. It is irresponsible that the government doesn't do more to pressure and fine chrysler for the lack of urgency being placed on this recall.

I have been having issues with my cherokee since early 2007; multiple issues including the car stalling, check engine light coming on/off, all the dashboard lights turning on and off and multiple attempts in getting the car to turn on. I have taken the car to multiple repair shops; both dealership and local repair shops looking for answers. I have been given the same diagnosis each time; the transmission control module is faulty. The transmission control module has been replaced (3) times and works for a little less than a year and then the problem returns. I first heard of the safety recall - ignition switch p41/the federal safety agency 14v‑438 (as I later learned) from the media. I called the nearest dealership to inquire on when I could bring the car in for repair. They said they didn't have the part and to call back when I get a letter saying the part is available; that was almost 6 months ago. In the meantime I have also received a letter from chrysler informing me of the recall. That came almost 3 month after the recall was on the news.yesterday, while driving my car all the dashboard lights came on and off and my car momentarily stalled while driving down the highway. These are the same issues I've been having where the transmission control module has been replaced and reading the symptoms of this ignition switch problem, I think they are related. I called chrysler's recall assistance center today and was on hold for 2 hours before I gave up. There was no way to leave a message for chrysler to call me back. The recall has been in affect since july 2014 and has not been resolved in a reasonable time. I am afraid to drive my vehicle as it is a safety hazard to myself and others. This is causing a lot of difficulty for me as this is my only mode of transportation and there is no repair in the foreseeable future.

While driving my vehicle it just shut down without any warning and I had to guide it to the side of the road to restart it.thankfully I was driving in a neighborhood where I could do this, it did this a couple of times in one outing, now its every so often. So far it has not done it while I'm out on an interstate but I try to stay close to home til it can be fixed. Plus when I have on my lights my dashboard lights blink on and off . Then here recently the air bag light started flashing and a few days ago it stayed on and hasn't shut off. I've talked to the jeep dealership about this and they said that they don't have the parts to fix the recall item p41/ the federal safety agency 14v‑438 and I'm liable for the airbag issue. From what I have read online all of these issues are connected. I received a letter on the recall a few months back but have not heard anything back on when I can get it fixed at the dealership. Please advise on what steps I should take to get the parts for this recall so I can enjoy driving my vehicle again. Thanks again

While driving my car at 50 MPH all the lights on the dash came on indicating that the engine had turned off. This has happened 2 more times but both those times the car was not in motion. I was sitting at a stop light. After a few seconds the car turns itself back on. I am very fearful that the car may take longer to turn itself back on and I will have loss of power steering and braking. I have notice of a p41/the federal safety agency 14v‑438 recall but am told the fix is not yet available. Due to the length of time I am requesting another vehicle to be provided until my car can be fixed as I am very fearful of a crash.
