Ignition Switch problems of the 2008 Dodge Caravan

Ignition switche was replaced on a recall. But now this ignitin switches is not working right. Some times the van will not start. I had it check out and its the ignition switche that was replaced on my car because of the recall. What do I do now to get this replaced again. The van may shut off when driving.

I stopped and parked the vehicle at a store. I turned the switch off but could not remove the key. I tried several times by restarting the vehicle and shutting it down but was unable to remove the key from the ignition switch. I stopped trying for about 15 seconds and was then able to restart the vehicle. Approximately 10 minutes later I was able to start, stop and remove the key ok. I drove across the street to the post office and the same situation occurred with the same results. There have been no further incidences since. I went to the Dodge dealer and they said (essentially) "sorry charlie, it's your problem. We haven't received parts to service your recall".

However, when it didn't shut off, the engine blew up destroying the engine in the process. The dealer admitted the mistake, of installing the wrong part, and they stated they did not know the engine would not shut off, but they were certain that the failure, was not linked to engine blowing up. Somehow the engine, and radiator blowing up was simply a coincidence.
