Ignition Switch problems of the 2007 Chrysler 300

Ignition switch.

Ignition switch faulty, have had the ignition switch replaced twice and now need another another ignition switch dealership has claimed the ignition switch has had 4 different parts numbers so that means it has been modified 4 different times this should be a recall issue I shouldn't have to keep replacing a faulty ignition switch.

The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that he drove the vehicle home, parked it, and was unable to restart it for two days. The failure occurred without warning.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I switched my car off to pump gas. When I got into my car to turn in the car my key the motor wouldn't turn over. Its like my car just powered off. My key was very loose out in the ignition and it wasn't making click sounds like it normally did after you switch the key out of the lock position. My car had to be towed to the dealership and the dealership said my ignition housing was shattered. My car was working perfectly fine the entire day. Chrysler Dodge Jeep have been having recalls on the ignition switches. I think this problem should be investigated.

Ignition switch broke, undriveable, completely disabled, had to call wrecker for transportation. I bought this car with 6 miles on it. I have maintained it carefully. I bought a new vehicle for dependable transportation. I recently paid it off so I could be out of car debt. This is the 2nd time this car has left my family stranded. 6800 miles earlier the transmission shifter broke (odi number) is10419761.

Driving on highway during cold winter day (20 degrees or below) when the cars computer system shut down and a few seconds later re-booted. The car continued to do so during the drive home and during the next week until I could get an appointment with local dealership. Took to dealership and they were unsure of the issue. Showed them a video that was taken while driving on the highway (very unsafe to have your car totally shut down while going 70 mph). They replaced the ignition switch -- not warrantied, $300 repair. This has happened every year with the exception of 2012 (weather in region was warmer and didn't meet conditions as previous years). Now it's 2013 and the same thing happened during a recent blizzard. Dealership says their hands are tied, but I think this is a Chrysler defective part issue. Something in very cold weather is causing the computer system to shut down, which could cause a driver to lose control of the vehicle. This is a scary situation, especially if you don't know what's happening. I have video of the issue from a recent commute, as well as the documentation of the on-going issue starting back in 2010. Chrysler was contacted on 2/21/2013 with the details. My utmost concern is that this will (or has) caused a fatality and Chrysler seems unwilling to acknowledge the problem with this defective part. .

All electrical functions flashing. . . Lost radio, headlights, airbag lights flashing, cooler blower stopped. This condition happened to my vehicle multiple times while driving and all different speeds. While driving at night automatic headlight sensor would turn headlights off while traveling. Condition started to happen daily so dealer changed the ignition switch and problem hasn't happened since.
