I drive to work every day and I can feel my car shacking while I have the car on drive. I have experienced my vehicle sliding of the road with out control. Also my breaks has lost control on me while driving 20 mph. These issues im experiencing are very dangerous and I don't feel safe at all driving my vehicle even if im driving slow. The last occurrence happened 9/12/18, but this has been an ongoing issue. I don't understand why these issues are not reported as a safety issue and considered as a recall.

I have ongoing problems with ignition switch failure, resulting in the car completely shutting off - no engine power, no brakes, no power steering. This incident has happened 3 times in the last 6 weeks. My car is on the recall list with Dodge since last November, but they have yet to get the parts in to fix it. I am very upset that they haven't been able to get parts in to fix what could be a catastrophic and deadly problem in the last 7 months. I'm also being told my car has the airbag recall to go along with it. Can someone please put some pressure on Dodge to either get my car fixed or get me a safe car to drive in the meantime? my life, and potentially my family's life could depend on it.

The car slows down on its own down to at least 45 mph, if I go over a bump during this cycle, the vtc light on dashboard lights up and the car feels unstable as I press on the brakes.
