It is unfortunate that chrysler is awaiting a…

I have had many instances when the vehicle would not start. It cranks over fine but will not fire. I have to shut the ignition off, and then it starts fine when i retry it. I received a recall notice ( r09 / nhtsa 14v-115 ) but the dealer tells me that the repair parts are not yet available. I am worried that i may experience a problem while i am on the highway.
