| Description of the problem | Several times since approximately august of 2013 the vehicle power has cut off while driving causing loss of power steering. I had the ignition replaced once at my own cost but it did not fix the issue. It has happened several times since then with the latest being in october of 2014. I am aware of the recall but what is the point if there is no fix? The fact that we are still waiting on a fix is unacceptable. This is a safety issue not an inconvenience issue. I have three young children and it is unacceptable that i have to drive them around in an unsafe vehicle because dodge doesn't yet have a fix. |
