Chrysler has issued a recall regard the ignition switch which includes a list of their vehicles including the 2008 Dodge Charger, which I drive. The recall states: Chrysler says ignitions keys on certain vehicles may not fully return to the "on" position after they are turned to start the engine. Instead, the key ends up between the "on" and "start" position. In that case, the windshield defroster and windshield wipers won't work. The greater danger, which Chrysler calls "less probable, " is that the key moves to the "accessory" or "off" position. If that happens, the car's engine will turn off, it will lose power steering and the air bags won't deploy. I am experienced this problem while driving my vehicle which prompted me to see if there was a recall. I reached out to Chrysler and questioned why I received recall a recall notification for the airbags but not for the ignition. I was advised that my VIN is not on the list for the ignition concerns. The Chrysler agent advised me that my VIN # was not on the list for the ignition problem. I advised the agent that I am experiencing the issues outlined in the recall. She advised that it was nothing Chrysler can do until my VIN number is added to the recall list. I asked if there was an escalation process, since driving with a faulty ignition is extremely dangerous. She advised me that there was not a process to escalate my concerns even though I provided her with my VIN number and she could clearly see that it was for a 2008 Dodge Charger sedan. Please assist in the resolution of the ignition switch concern.

Takata recall: I have made contact with three different Dodge dealerships in the dallas-fort worth area over the course of several months at different times and each time the service managers have not gotten back to me. Dodge locations in grapevine, plano and dallas have failed to remedy the problem or even schedule it to come in. I have driven up to each location to request the recalled problem be dealt with but they have not scheduled it to be fixed, saying that they still didn't have the parts and were being inundated with problem vehicles. What is the point of issuing a recall if the dealerships won't deal with the problem?

I received two recall notices and I went to the dealer three times to have the car serviced. Every time I returned for my appointment I was advised that the part is not in and they would call me when it was available. Because this occurrence happened more than one time I feel they are not trying to resolve my issue. Because of the safety hazard I would like to get this fixed immeadiately.
