We are having problem with the ignition key when you start the car. It take 5-10 second for the car to respond and start the car. On August 16,2014 we took the car to carl burgers dealership for service. They said the issue is with the key and new key is need to be purchased at $226.66 so we did. After the service was done 24 hours after we still had the same issue. I contacted the dealership on 9/27/2014 concerning a recall currently have on Chrysler vehicle with same issue. They told me this car is not included in recall. Than I contacted the Chrysler company asking the same questions and there respond was you car is not included in the recall but they might expand the recall to different model which will include your vehicle. So as a consumer what do we do drive the car with all these faults and take risk for our family's because Chrysler don't have the people to fix the issue. Please advise.

I'm complaining about the win module, I've had so many problems with this. Not knowing that's what it was, I went out and bought batteries for my fobs...worked for about a week, my car beeps all night long so I took the backs of the fobs so that the battery would not have contact. That helped with the beeping. But I have had so many problems with the car starting, had to sit places until I could get it started. So I go on Chrysler S page only to read about problems with the win module, and it states that there"S many many of the 2008 Chrysler 300 with this problem. And it also states that if it fail while driving the car could shut off. My complaint is if Chrysler know this why don't they have a recall on the cars. So many people complaining that their car want start, but when it's taken into the shop, the part is on back order, and then when the part come in and installed you have to get another key fob and it programmed to that module. That key is a total of $289. I was quoted, and most people have 2 keys. That price is $289 each. This is not right, if it's that many complaint it should be recalled. The price for repairs was $760 plus $289 twice and not to mention car rental.
