3/15/15 SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A SAFETY RECALL (P57/NHTSA 14V-567) THAT THE FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) MAY STICK BETWEEN THE "START" AND "RUN" POSITION, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CERTAIN ELECTRICAL FEATURES AND/OR A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING ASSIST, AND/OR POSER BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST IN ADDITION TO OTHER POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS. THE NOTICE ALSO STATED I WOULD BE CONTACTED AGAIN BY CHRYSLER WHEN THE REMEDY PART IS AVAILABLE. I CALLED A LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS INDEED WERE UNAVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FURTHER FROM CHRYSLER. I HAVE EXPERIENCED A FEW MINOR MALFUNCTIONS WITH WARNING LIGHTS BUT FORTUNATELY NOTHING SERIOUS. HOWEVER, THIS IS TAKING TOO *%^&%*( LONG. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? REALLY, IS CHRYSLER MAKING AN EFFORT TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? I AM UNCERTAIN OF THE DATE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO DATE ON THE NOTICE; THE DATE LISTED ABOVE IS AN ESTIMATE. *TR
