| Description of the problem | This is in regards to chrysler's recall of ignition switches - p41. A notice that a safety recall was in effect was announced early summer of 2014 and since then chrysler keeps saying the part is unavailable. It's well over six months since the recall was announced. I have called chrysler 3 times and they cannot provide an answer to when the part will be available. My jeep continues to have ignition switch problems, while i drive two small children on a daily basis. It is unacceptable that chrysler knows about the dangerous switch problem and yet has done nothing to timely remedy the situation and make the part available to affected consumers. It is irresponsible that the government doesn't do more to pressure and fine chrysler for the lack of urgency being placed on this recall. |
