7 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2013

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.
