We were hit by a car and the car did not deploy the air bags and it cut off and all the electrical shut down and the car ignition got stuck and had to be turned over several times before it would start. I was told the problem came from the ignition switch.

I got a recall almost a year ago for the ignition switch and about a month or so ago for the air bag. Chrysler has told me neither part is available. My car may start and it may not start for months. It's been towed several times after not starting while out or getting off work late. I feel Chrysler have put me in some very dangerous situations of being stranded. I don't and can't drive my car because of the recalls. I pay for insurance on a car I can't drive. I feel that Chrysler should buy my car back because it is no use to me and very inconvenient. I paid thousands of dollars for your product and this is how you treat your customers. Shame on you Chrysler corporation!!!!!!!.

I received notification regarding the recall of the airbags in my vehicle over a year ago and of my ignition over 6 months ago but have not to date received a letter to have my vehicle repaired. I would my vehicle to be repaired ASAP as my small niece and nephew sometimes travel with me in my vehicle and I am concerned of their safety as well as mine and my husband. When I first bought the car in 2009, I had issues with the ignition switch. I would start the car and nothing would work the radio, inside dashboard lights, etc. I took the car to Chrysler several times and they could not determine what the problem was.
