My 3 1/2 year old son was getting in the car and bumped the gear shift while the car was off, no foot on the brake and no keys in the ignition and it rolled backwards across the street and hit the neighbors tree resulting in $3100 in damage to trunk and bumper. My insurance had to pay even though I reported it all the way to the attorney general. Chrysler stated we should have done routine checks and would not pay to fix the defect or damages. Recently there was an alert in consumer report and there have been many incidences of the same nature. What's it going to take before they send out a recall? luckily my son was not injured. I can't switch car insurance because it was recorded as an accident and I would have higher rates which is in my opinion Chrysler fault.

While driving inclement weather, humidity or very hot temperatures the dashboard completely shut down. The windshield wipers/air conditioner/RPM gauge/fuel gauge, and mph gage dropped to zero. Took vehicle to the dealer, and was told that it was the ignition switch. However, the problem recurred.
