I received a recall notice for my vehicle back in 2013 or 2014 regarding the wireless ignition node (win) module. chrysler recall number is: l25 nhtsa recall number is: 11v-139. recall date is: march 1, 2011. i have had my vehicle completely shut off on several different occasions which has almost gotten me in a wreck. i have been fortunate to be able to get out of the way of traffic but the last two times this has happened i was barely able to avoid an accident. one time i was driving on a toll road in austin, texas and going over a bridge and had to pull as close to the center cement wall as possible and restart my vehicle and hurry to get out of traffic before i was hit. this last time that it happened i was driving on my way to work on again a busy 4 lane road and was able to pull into an entrance of an apartment complex and restart my vehicle. both times it has been a close call. my local dodge dealership keeps telling me that there is currently no replacement part available. this is becoming very frustrating and also very scary at the same time. can you please advise me as to when this replacement part might be available. like it said i have. *tr

ignition will shut off while driving. also dashboard will read bad key and refuse to start. chrysler states that it is part of recall l25 but the part is unavailable. in the meantime my car is a paperweight that i can't drive. they have no date on when parts will be available. what is my recourse? *tr
