Ignition module went out in driveway. Would turn the car to off, take the key out, but the car would continue to run. You can drive the car without the key in the ignition. Took it to the dealership, they had to replace the ignition module and replace two of my car keys. Drove the car to the dealership without the key in the ignition.

Key can be turned off, and out, but will not kill the engine, or lights. Ignition switch module replacement through dealer, and reprogramming is the only way to fix it. Seen a recall for this problem but dealer tells me my car is not on the list. I turn my car off pull the key out, and I am still able to drive my car as if the key was in it.

Recall r03/NHTSA 14v-373: my dealer can not make this repair as it claims insufficient parts and a large back log of cars needing this recall. The dealer claims it receives repair kits on a 1 for 1 basis, getting only a few kits at a time. I have attempted this recall repair three times, each time being turned away due to no kit on hand. The vehicle has had a number of ignition module failures while driving, and a previous recall kit (l25) was installed.

I am referencing recall # 14v-373 for replacement of wireless ignition node module. I have had this part on order by local dealer for over 5 months now and am still waiting for dealer to receive the part so it can be changed out. I talked to dealer parts person and representative at fca group recall assistance center to find out why it has taken so long. No one knows why it has taken so long . . . I feel waiting over 5 months to effect repair is ridiculous and negligent!.

Today 8-24-15 my 2011 Dodge Journey shut off as I was driving down a road. There was no prior indication the car all of the sudden would not steer , brake or do anything . The electric was still on but the car completely shut off . I had to use all my strength to maneuver it off the road and wait for it to slow down . My child was in the car . This is the second incident this has happened - 1st being in March 2015. Both have been reported to Chrysler . Both times I have brought to my local mechanic and it was set up for computerized diagnostic testing and both time threw no error codes. My mechanic believes it is an issue with the win module or something that is making the car ignition faulty and turning to accessory mode . It is unsafe to drive and I have contacted Chrysler because they need to stand behind their product . They are unwilling to make it a priority and have not offered a resolution . Just a note , the 2009 and 2010 version of this vehicle have been recalled for same issue . I have set up appt to have it diagnosed by Chrysler service center as they have indicated -however , the only time they could fit me in was a full week away . So now I wait because they feel that my car is safe ? and haven't even offered a rental ?!.

My complaint is regarding safety recall # r03 / NHTSA 14v-373 this is a fca, fiat Chrysler automobiles recall for wireless ignition node module and is the second such recall covering the same issue on my 2010 Dodge Journey. My issue: I have the recall paperwork and for the last couple of months I have been trying to get the work done. My Chrysler dealership in greenwood, in , tom o'brien, advises me that Chrysler has canceled the parts that were on order based on the recall. This is the second time Chrysler has canceled the repair parts needed for the recall. I am concerned because this issue can potentially shut off the engine while in operation and I drive extensively for my job. Please advise and provide any help you can to explain why Chrysler is allowed to cancel the parts needed by the dealership to effect my recall repair. It seems to me they are just appeasing NHTSA by having the recall then not following through, canceling the actual parts--frustrating the vehicle owners and the dealerships. This recall issue could potentially cost lives and Chrysler is being allowed to cancel the repair parts orders placed by the dealerships? I have the recall documents in hand and can't get my vehicle repaired. What can I do, what can NHTSA do for me? urgently request assistance in this matter.

In March 2015 the vehicle showed signs of ignition locking and not being able to be started with key. This did not happen every time, but enough to be annoying. Aaa was called to tow the vehicle to our reputable mechanic each time it occurred. Mechanic could find nothing wrong as this problem did not show while in his premises. The problem continued. In June I received recall notice 'r03" and on 6/16/15 put in an 'order' with chapman auto group in horsham, PA. When they inspected the vehicle it did not show signs of ignition lock up either. By the beginning of July, I was told by chapman that they had no idea when this part on the recall would be in stock. I proceeded to call two other dealerships in the area and received the same story from them. I also called Chrysler customer svc as well as sent an e-mail to customerassistre@Chrysler and so far everyone has said that the auto maker has no idea when and who will be making this wireless ignition node module to satisfy the recall. My car is defective and I need it repaired immediately. We have also used up most of our aaa calls due to this problem and our policy does not renew until March 2016.

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.

2009 Dodge Journey. Consumer writes in regards to the wireless ignition node module detents recall notice. The consumer has been unsuccessful at getting the dealer to comply with the recall. Recall # 14v373000.

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.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that when the fob was placed in the ignition, the engine did not start. The vehicle was previously repared per NHTSA campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system); however, the failure recurred multiple times. The contact was also experiencing electrical failures throughout the vehicle. Also, both side view mirrors were not working, in addition to all of the door locks, master control unit, and child safety locks. The vehicle was unable to detect that the driver's side door was open. Also, the passenger side windows were nonfunctional. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where multiple repairs were made on several occasions. The mechanic replaced numerous modules, fuses, and relays; however, the failures recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the additional failures and there was no further repairs or diagnostic tests. The failure mileage was 35,000.

The horn started randomly honking. It would go on for 30 seconds to a minute, blaring like someone was honking it with no distinct pattern. This happened when the car was turned off, no one was near it, the key fob was in the house. At one time it sounded like the alarm horn, with no lights flashing, but the car we unlocked and disarmed. This went on all night from about 7pm to 7am. Took it to the dealership for this and other issues. They had it for a week and the issue would not duplicate for them. This morning, a week and a half later, I went to start the car. Turned the key, nothing happened. Turned back to off position and tried again. This time it started. We had the whole ignition module replaced several months ago when the car left me stranded, alarm going off constantly, but I couldn't unlock the car. It was not the key batteries. I used the accessory key to open the door, and removed the horn fuse so it could be towed. Not covered under warranty equals over $700 in repairs and a lost day of work. Now I'm inclined to think that the new switch may be defective as well.

This vehicle is equipped with a Dodge oem remote start system which was activated in this situation. I entered the "remote started" vehicle and went to place my key into the run position. I inadvertently took the key to the start position and upon doing so turned off the radio, power windows, air, turn signals, cluster lights. I was able to drive the vehicle during this incident. These particular items were the only ones I noticed to be non-operational, but there very well possibly could be other critical components such as air bags affected. In order to regain functionality, I had to turn the vehicle to the off position restart. I tried to duplicate the situation but was not able to get to get a reoccurrence at this time. This is the 2nd time I have had this arise. I was able to capture video of the powerless components and show the vehicle was capable to be driven. I've made an appointment with the local Dodge dealership for review. This vehicle did have a win module recall in 2011, and is not currently part of the recent Dodge ignition problem recall.

On several occasion my car would not start - I would sit sometimes for about 15 minutes before my car would start. Took it to the mechanic several times (no findings). Just one day, my car would not start - called roadside service - would not start - car just completely shut down. Had to have the car towed ($138. 00) & had to have a wireless control module installed $830. 59 - Dodge/Chrysler need to stop playing games - just received a recall for "wireless ignition node module detents" - but Dodge claimed that the work that I just had done is not the same - it's still wireless, it's still a key issue, it's still a module, it's still regarding the ignition, my mechanic said it's the same - who do you believe - not Dodge/Chrysler - they need to man up and accept the responsiblity at all cost!.
