Details issued 8/19/2015 recall id 240549 nhtsa campaign # 14v567000 vehicles affected 292,798 component affected electrical system:ignition my car has not been starting and that is embarrassing working home care

According to my local dealer, my car's ignition module was replaced as a result of a recall. last week my car shut off for no apparent reason while driving 55mph which is the exact problem causing the original recall. the instrument panel lights all came on for several seconds but the engine quit running. then, after several seconds it returned to normal. the car will also not start on occasion when turning the key unless i push the key sideways while turning it. i think something is wrong with the ignition module. it is possible the problem with the new ignition module is the same as the old one? or is it possible that the recall was not ever performed in spite of what my dealer says? the dealer refuses to repair this problem for free because, according to their records, the recall of the ignition module has been done. what should i do?

case description i had a recalls on my 2008 dodge magnum for airbags, and ignition. had it towed to comminwealth dodge cause it stopped running while driving. they replaced the ignition, and supposedly replaced airbags also. the ignition allowed the car to then restart. however when i went to pick the car up it ran really badly, and had all the warning lights in the dash on. i confronted the dealership about this before even leaving the lot. they told me i would have to pay to have it looked at. i towed it to a different dealership where they found the main wiring harness pulled apart under the dash. after i picked the car up from them i've had the worst electrical problems imaginable. i've been stranded in ellensburg wa for 3 months, the battery died every 3-4 weeks. fca will not even return any of my calls, and the dealership just tried to sell me a new car when i contact them. please help

Help!! i have a 2008 magnum. i tried for 3 months to get the ignition recall done. "parts weren't available". suddenly 3/2016 my car shut off while driving. it was towed to a dealer where they did the p57, r25 recalls. upon return of car to me i notice dash functions inoperable. i went right back inside and was told i could leave it to be looked at (i would be billed) i called fcausllc and they set me up for a tow to a 2nd dealer. there it was found the wiring under the dash had been pulled apart. partial repair was made there, but i then had a slow drain on electrical system. for 2+ months i was ignored by fca trying to get the issue remedied. on 5/22/16 i was on highway and car completely shut down again. this time i hit a retaining wall. it's been 3 months and i have no solution to this. i was ignored for a month and a half. then they deneyed my claim due to it "not being a mfg. defect" they knew the problem before this happened ...
