WHILE TRAVELING ON I465 EAST AND DRIVING 65 MILES AN HOUR I CHANGED LANES TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR SHUT OFF.I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. ON MARCH 3RD 2014 THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND I HAD IT TOWED FROM ANDERSON INDIANA TO INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA BY AAA. I HAVE SINCE PAID $1400 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT RUNNING. I ALSO PAID THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IT WAS NOT RUNNING AND HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALL THIS WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM.

LOST POWER WHEN IGNITION SWITCH MOVED FROM DRIVE POSITION. IGNITION SWITCH STICKS. CAN POP OUT OF POSITION IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE IT IS IN CORRECT POSITION BEFORE YOU MOVE VEHICLE. TOOK ME DAYS TO FIGURE THIS OUT. TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES IN 2013. THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, THEN THIS RECALL CAME OUT. I AM STILL DRIVING WITH THIS PROBLEM. DEALERSHIPS NEVER HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX EITHER ONE OF THE RECALLS, AND CANT TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL... HAVE THE PARTS. VERY FRUSTRATING. NEED THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK, BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT.I DEAL WITH 2 DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL.
