Ignition Switch Problems of Plymouth Breeze

My 3 1/2 year old son was getting in the car and bumped the gear shift while the car was off, no foot on the brake and no keys in the ignition and it rolled backwards across the street and hit the neighbors tree resulting in $3100 in damage to trunk and bumper. My insurance had to pay even though I reported it all the way to the attorney general. Chrysler stated we should have done routine checks and would not pay to fix the defect or damages. Recently there was an alert in consumer report and there have been many incidences of the same nature. What's it going to take before they send out a recall? luckily my son was not injured. I can't switch car insurance because it was recorded as an accident and I would have higher rates which is in my opinion chryslers fault.

After turnng vehicle off key would get stuck in ignition switch. Dealer has been contacted . Please provide further information.

When car is placed in park, the key will stick in the ignition. Motor turns off, but inside functions stay on (mileage lights, radio/clock) and key will not turn all the way to take it out. After trying over and over, something will "give" in the ignition, and the key will finally come out. Also, when you lock the doors, sometimes the power lock motor will make a "groaning-whining" noise, and not all of the doors will lock. These problems have been going on since shortly after purchase.
