9 Ignition Module problem

Failure Date: 03/13/2015

I received a recall notice for my vehicle back in 2013 or 2014 regarding the wireless ignition node (win) module. Chrysler recall number l25 NHTSA recall number 11v-139. Recall date March 1, 2011. I have had my vehicle completely shut off on several different occasions which has almost gotten me in a wreck. I have been fortunate to be able to get out of the way of traffic but the last two times this has happened I was barely able to avoid an accident. One time I was driving on a toll road in austin, texas and going over a bridge and had to pull as close to the center cement wall as possible and restart my vehicle and hurry to get out of traffic before I was hit. This last time that it happened I was driving on my way to work on again a busy 4 lane road and was able to pull into an entrance of an apartment complex and restart my vehicle. Both times it has been a close call. My local Dodge dealership keeps telling me that there is currently no replacement part available. This is becoming very frustrating and also very scary at the same time. Can you please advise me as to when this replacement part might be available. Like it said I have.

12 Ignition Module problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2015

2009 Dodge Journey has a recall ( l25) on the win module detent ring , this vehicle was sold to me by a dealership in 2012 with nothing showing on the car fax of this recall. The recall cause the key to slip from the ignition and completely shutting the car down while moving. The key inadvertently moves and the engine shut down , depowering the air bags, power steering and power braking. When initially calling in the complaint , Chrysler/ Dodge explained that there is no fix or part yet available. I further explained as a single mother this was a huge safety hazard , because in multiple occasions I have been on a freeway or street and almost rolled into another car , rolling down backwards on a freeway ramp unable to brake or telephone pole. Dodge/Chrysler stated I would just have to wait or take it to a dealership for a temporary fix. ( this same temporary fix is noted in the Dodge dealer system not to put in the newer year parts into an older model car ) after calling and going up to their recommended dealerships for Dodge the service department states they have their hands tied because there is still no part available for the year of my car. They also stated I would have to pay out of pocket almost 700 dollars for a temp fix using a newer model car that may or may not fix it . I am completely terrified to drive my car that I have to continue to pay on and Dodge/Chrysler is completely brushing off the issue. God forbid if we are harmed or eventually in an accident waiting 3 years later for a repair for this vehicle part.
