Made several complaints to Chrysler around November 2014 regarding my car cutting off and periodically not starting.I received a recall from the fca around that same time for "win module and frequency operated button ignition key (fobik's P57".. I have a 5 yr. Loan on my car and Chrysler assured me that this issue would be resolved. I received a letter from Chrysler manufacture customer service/field operations in August 2015 stating that both recall parts had come in and I was to contact my nearest dealer. Well, the NHTSA 14V-567 airbag had come in. It has been corrected.thank you, but although that is also a serious issue, what is giving me a problem is the cutoff & start. My family & I feel unsafe! not to mention not being able to have a car that I can depend on. I am very disappointed that this hasn't been corrected. It appears to be getting worse. Chrysler said the part was in...is it or not?!!!! I need to make sure that my family is safe and my children can get to and from school & appointments. This is ridiculous!
