Takata recall when ignition turned off keep getting alert saying that key is still in ignition causing my electrical system to fail. It is not allowing me to readjust mirrors or anything. Any electrical connection isn't working due to error message saying key is still in ignition. I locked my keys in the car several times due to this issue and I am afraid to drive far due to the electrical failure please look into this. The vehicle was running when the electrical failure began and I was over 300 miles away from home.
First I have noticed my car delays and jerks when putting it into gear. This happens mostly in the winter. More recently my car tried to accelerate a couple times while my foot was on the brake. I took it into the dealership to have it repaired and they stated because they could not make the car do the same thing, they could not fix the problem. Second the recall on the air bags and seat belts was first published almost a year ago. This is my only vehicle and I have two children that are placed in that vehicle. I am scared for them as well as anyone that is in my car if I am to get into an accident. This is far too long to know about a problem and not fix it. I was going to trade in my car and try to lease another vehicle. Well now I can not do that as my car is only worth about $5,000 even though it is in excellent condition. I still owe about $12,000. So now I am left to drive an unsafe car that is known to be unsafe and nothing is being done about it.

The engine light came on and the car was overheating the car was rolling backwards when at stop light. Problem was heat sensor. Transmission went twice on 3/10/2015 and 3/19/2014 both times I was driving with my granddaughter in the car and due to the deceleration caused by the transmission I was almost rear ended by truck behind me.
Shortly after purchasing my 2014 Chrysler 200 3.6 this year I noticed problems. When driving in speeds of 10-35mph it would occasionally jerk/lunge while shifting into gear. I was told this is normal. It didn't happen often or all the time. Then this week before we left for vacation we had the dealership change the oil and check all the fluid levels. I have 8400 miles on my car. While on vacation we were doing a lot more stop and go driving. The jerking and lunging was happening again, and then our engine light came on. We are out of state and now have to figure out what's going on with this. The car is running fine otherwise, the oil level is good and the gas cap is on. Not sure what to do at this point. However, sounds like this jerking/ lunge issue has been a problem for quite some time and there has been no fix yet! great!
The car was purchased on 12/27/13. The next day, after stopping at a stop sign and the car would not accelerate when the driver pushed the gas. After pushing the accelerator repeatedly, the car moved. The dealer said the car was 1 1/2 quarts low on transmission fluid. Subsequently, on several occasions, after stopping at a stop sign or to let oncoming traffic pass, the car has stalled as the driver pushed the gas then it jumped into gear. Another time, the vehicle jumped into gear as the driver slowed to make a turn. When the car was taken back to the dealer, they found the transmission filtered was cracked and replaced it. However, the problems with the transmission continue. Took the car in for test driving, we intend to leave the car at the dealership to be test driven over time. The problems are not evident every time the car is driven. Additionally, today some knocking occurred under the car when the brakes were pressed. The car was purchased so it could be used for highway travel, but I am fearful of driving it on the highway because if it does not accelerate the car could be rear-ended.
