RECEIVED A CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL ON DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED AT MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. UPON EACH OF MY CALLS THE DEALER RESPONSE IS THAT THEY HAVE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL HAVE ANY. A SAFETY RECALL WITH NO REPLACEMENT PARTS OR ANY IDEA AND A LACK LUSTER ATTITUDE AS TO WHEN ANY WILL BE RECEIVED SEEMS TO BE LITTLE REGARD FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS AN AIRBAG THAT WAS LISTED ON THE INTERNET SITE FOR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND WHEN I CONFRONTED THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO ON THE MATTER THEY SAID THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL BY CHRYSLER TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT. *TR
