Description of the problem	Wife pulled into parking lot and hit bump and engine shut down freezing steering wheel scaring wife. Happened once before. Took into dealer(jan-'14) and was told key was too heavy and became loose in ignition causing car to shut down. (charged $106). Fall 2014, recalls started being announced for same problem(same key as we have); filed complaint to chrysler in nov. 2014(case #26001552) and chrysler said our vin not under recall. Same key/ same problem, but not under recall? They implied, if under recall might be able to credit $106 back. Currently: interested in 3 things: 1) include my vehicle under recall- very dangerous and people must be advised, if she were driving faster, could have been major accident. 2) credit back $106- dealer did nothing but tell me key is heavy. 3) current key needs replaced- i will pay for this, but will it be the same key? Will it be redesigned, what should i do? Thank you
