'takata recall' when I put my key in and try to turn over my vehicle it will not start. It appears that the ignition switch is malfunctioning. And I've been stuck on the side of the road with two kids and it's been happening for months and now I'm stuck on the side of the road, because normally it would turn over after a few tries but now it won't turn at all

Car shuts off in the middle of driving. Power steering and breaks go out. Very dangerous, without any warning the car just turns off. It has happened at all different speeds, while turning, while going up hill, while going down hill. Seems to be the ignition. There is a recall for this but it for some reason does not apply to my VIN and I cant understand why. I need to have this fixed immediately, why is my car not on this recall?

The horn blows by itself, while driving and while sitting in the garage unoccupied. It has shut off while driving in heavy traffic and I had to put it in neutral to restart it. The aur bag light has come on and apparently in the words of my mechanic "I can't find anything wrong with it". the air and heat stopped working in the back of the vehicle last year. The check engine light goes on and off. I've had it towed to the shop twice because it would not start, just to be told it cranked right up once at the shop and again "I can't find anything wrong with it". it doesn't accelerate like it's supposed to when taking off, jerks and lags, and once accelerated it continues to jerk and lag.

1st thing was the horn, randomly honking at all hours of the day of night. It had stopped.... for now.... but now my car is not starting. For some reason it won't turn over, I can turn key to let it do it's emission test before starting then turning key to start, it just clicks and doesn't start. Car has done it at grocery store, daycare, work, even shut off by itself while stopped at a red light.

The key fob was the first thing I noticed, it wouldn't lock/unlock the car, hanged the battery, nothing changed. Months later I cannot lock/unlock with the key fob or on the door panel.the car stays unlocked all the time (not good) also the back wiper no longer works..now, the horn...the horn does not stop honking!!! doesn't matter if you're driving or the car is off an parked..... also unsafe. I had to disconnect it and been without for over a yr. I've contacted Dodge..seems to be the same story I see online, they are surprised and never heard of anyone having an issue🤔🤔 seems fishy. And let's not forget the engine, it sometimes starts..sometimes I have to wait for it to kick in. I used to not even be able to turn it on at all and have to shift it in diff. Gears to get it to go. I am hoping someone can help.im fed up with Dodge.

My car is at 71000 miles it will not switch into gears meaning I have to pull over turn car off and back on in hope that it will switch gears. Many times that doesn't work. My brake caliber has been replaced and it still is messed up again. Yesterday I was riding down road and car just powered off on me for no reason. I could not start it back up after hour it restarted.we checked engine fluid etc everything was good. I waited until end of my shift went and got car to take home. As I began traveling home a power lighting bolt came on in my dash. Car shut off again would not start unfortunately I was unable to bare off the road because everything locked up in car. I wish I never purchased this car.
