IGNITION ISSUE, WOULDN'T START. DODGE REPLACED THE MODULE, IGNITION AND ADDITIONAL FOB'S. I PAID $806.21 TO PAY FOR REPAIR. IN DECEMBER 2014 I RECEIVED A RECALL P57/NHTSA 14V-567 STATING RECALL OF A FOBIK. IT SAYS I CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL PARTS COME IN BUT IF I ALREADY HAD IT REPAIRED I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED.

VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH IGNITION SWITCH, SOMETIMES AS SOON AS I START THE CAR THEN ENGINE WILL DIE.

AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY'LL BE AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL (P57) AND (R25) ARE ISSUES THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF FUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING.
