Received a recall notice on my 2008 Chrysler 300, for an ignition key malfunction, ,P57/NHTSA 14V-567. I have been to my local dealer 3 times in the past 4 months and was told, each time, that the parts are not available. As my car has this problem, I am concerned. I am aware of the problem, but sometimes a friend will drive it, and although I tell them, they might not remember to move the key to the run position.
