U.S. ignition-switch investigation extended to Chrysler

Yikes.

"The new Chrysler investigations suggest that issues with faulty ignition switches that could cause air bags to fail may be more widespread than once believed and eventually could touch other vehicle manufacturers besides GM and Chrysler."

[QUOTE] One of the NHTSA investigations of Chrysler, involving about 525,000 Jeep SUVs made between 2005 and 2007, focuses on complaints about switches that can be bumped by a driver's knee to the "off" or accessory position, turning off the engine and potentially disabling air bags in a frontal crash.[/QUOTE]

Oh, good. NHTSA is on the scene now. :lol:

9 years to find that you have defective ignition switches. This number will grow in timely steps...as usual.
