WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH BACK IN NOVEMBER 2014. THE SWITCH BEGAN FAILING IN LATE APRIL 2015.

THEY SAID ALL THEY COULD DO WAS REPLACE THE PART WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART AND CHARGE US FOR THE PART AND THE LABOR. THEY REPLACED THE PART WITH A PART THEY KNOW IS DEFECTIVE AND PLACES OUR LIVES IN DANGER AND CHARGED US $565.00 TO DO SO. THEY SAID THAT WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART BECOMES AVAILABLE THAT CHRYSLER MAY REIMBURSE US. THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT.
