  On 1/31/18 I took my chrysler 300 in for three recall (P57) (R25) and (S43) when I pick my car up I was told that recall P57 was not done due to part being on back order and it would be 2 or 3 weeks. On 2/1/18 I recived a call from dealership reminding me of appointment 0N 2/2/18 to bring my car in for recall issues P57 that they had part so I did. After picking my car up on 2/2/18 I was on my way home and made a stop and when I got back in my car it would not start, so I contacted the dealership and they told me that what they did would have nothing to do with the car not starting but if I needed a tow truck to bring the car to them they would look at it, but if it wasn't caused by what they did I would have to pay to have it fixed. My car had no issues till the dealership fixed the 3 recalls, now it wont start and the ignition makes a clicking noise when u try to start it and cant move shifter out of park. Also no recall stickers were put in the engine compartment showing that a recall issues was fixed and it shows on line that the recall issues still has not been done. What can I do about this.
