IGNITION PROBLEM TURNING THE KEY TO START MY 2004 CROSSFIRE. THERE ARE TIMES IT IS TAKING 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO START MY CAR. I HAVE TO KEEP JIGGLING THE STEERING WHEEL AND REPEATEDLY TURNING THE KEY TO GET IT TO FINALLY TURN TO START MY VEHICLE. I AM SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ADDRESSING. I ALSO NOW AM WONDERING READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IF THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING LOCK SYSTEM THAT WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING. SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE TROUBLE NOW WITH STARTING MY VEHICLE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THIS LOCKING WHILE DRIVING. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS BECAUSE BEING A WOMEN I DON'T WON'T TO BE STRANDED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE THAT I FEEL IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. I DON'T BELIEVE AT 46,000 MILES I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR
