We did not have an accident, however, we have received a recall notice from chrysler two years ago regarding the ignition switch which could cause the vehicle to loose power if it is not replaced. We have been calling the dealership button motors in kokomo indiana as well as the chrysler toll free number to get this work done but they tell us they are waiting for the part.

A few days later the engine warning light came on. Then the lack of acceleration happened on the interstate. My mechanic cleared the engine warning light but it came back on a few days later. I did a lot of…

When you shift from park the prdnl will have a box around each of the letters. When backing up it slams into reverse and then slams into drive and the vehicle will only go 20 mph no matter how much you step on the gas. This has now happened 5 times and the only way it goes back to normal is to shut off the vehicle and start it back up. I have now seen numerous blogs where this happens at highway speeds, in the…
