I received notification regarding the recall of the airbags in my vehicle over a year ago and of my ignition over 6 months ago but have not to date received a letter to have my vehicle repaired. I would my vehicle to be repaired asap as my small niece and nephew sometimes travel with me in my vehicle and I am concerned of their safety as well as mine and my husband. When I first bought the car in 2009, I had issues with the ignition switch. I would start the car and nothing would work ie: The radio, inside dashboard lights, etc. I took the car to Chrysler several times and they could not determine what the problem was.
