Did Mopar use the defective GM ignition switch?

[looneytuner]

I know Mopar used a lot of GM parts. What about the switches
My son has a 2004 Chrysler and I have a 2010!

A lot of chrysler electronics are made by continental, siemens and magnetti marelli. I have not seen any delphi parts on chryslers.

I noticed that the 2011 dodge truck I rented had the same stupid window switches and A/C controls as the 2010 impalla I rented 'cept the parts in the truck you actually touch were slightly bigger

I'd say same stuff from same supplier , just for diff make & model

The majority of LH cars from 93 to 03 have this (see pic) switch in them. I have not seen very many problems with this switch but I did replace one last summer. That's how I found out that it has a GM part number on it from the factory. Maybe Chryslers specs were a little higher on the switch or it might have less load on it. Looks different from the switch GM is recalling .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ...................[IMG][/IMG]

Dodge did have the same issue on the vans (key turning off while driving) on the minivans. Had to add a secondary detent to the ignition switch.

The Chevy cruze issue with catching of fire is a different issue.

Keep your key light, you'll be fine.

heavy key chain can inadvertently move out of position, potentially disabling the power steering, air bags and other equipment

Most new source won't post that part.

People needs to be educated on how to handle a vehicle that is out of power! People run of gasoline, alternator dies, battery dies, accessorizes belt can break, timing belt/chain can break, fuse can blow, and etc, all result in no vehicle power.

If you look at the age of these people, you'll notice they are mostly in the 18-25 age bracket. Lack of vehicle experience is a huge factor in the accidents, I am will to bet.

Sadly, I don't think an air bag could have help her much.
