While driving the air bag light came on and the a/c went out. I called a dealership to see what the issue could be and they said bring it in it could be as simple as a fuse. Then I googled the issue and saw which fuses and changed them but it didn't work.

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.

I started having issues starting my car a few years ago (approximately 2), the key would turn but it wouldn't start unless I moved the key either up, down, or to the sides. Dodge finally replaced the part ( I can't think of the name but it was on back order). I started having the same problem less than 6 months later and the part was replaced again. Earlier this year, approximately late January, I received the recall notice for the ignition switch and called Dodge. They said the part was on back order and they weren't sure when they would receive the part. Since then, I have lost the lighting on my dash for the headlights and air-conditioning/heating dials. This occurred when I started my car and it suddenly turned off. I called in regards to finally having the lighting fixed today and that part was on national back order. The biggest problem, is the ignition switch, I have trouble starting the car, some days worse than others. I also have to check the key by tapping it when it's started to make sure it's in the "run" position. A handful of times I've tapped it and the key has turned back to the left, killing the car. Thankfully I've been parked every time. I've called Dodge about this recall and they still have yet to receive the part and have not been told a definite date as to when they will receive the part. This issue is not only frustrating it's dangerous for me and anyone else on the road. I'm tired of calling Dodge only to hear every part I need is on backorder. I truly don't believe the car I'm driving is safe anymore regardless of what the recall letter states. I think Dodge is an awful company who has horrible customer service and leaves the local dealerships with their hands tied. I truly believe they are only days away from a lawsuit.
