WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL MONTHS AGO FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THIS VEHICLE. IT SAID CHRYSLER INTENDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE, HOWEVER THE PART WAS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE.

I CALLED MY DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT I COULD BRING IT IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND WHEN CHRYSLER DECIDED THEY WOULD REIMBURSE US. IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE, AND WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH, SHOULDN'T THEY BE REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH AT THEIR COST AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL NOTICE?
