Summary

I bought a 07 Chrysler 300 at 126k. I had just got an oil change like a month before and radiator clean. One day I'm driving and then I parked and then I crank it up and it just starts making noise out of no where.So I cut it off and on and it's making clacking noise. I didn't have no lights on when I bought the car 3 months ago and it still doesn't have a light on. It just locked up on me out of no where. I didn't even get a chance to enjoy my car. I only had it 3 months and my motor Locked up on me with no warning ️ no lights. I been reading and I see they been saying something about the oil pump going out in Chrysler motors. Now I hear they don't even make my size motor no more. U have to buy a remanufactured or rebuild one. That's alot of money I just spent to get it and now I got to pay the same amount I paid for the car for a motor because the oil pump went out without a sign or warning or light. I'm out of $5,000 and I gotta pay another $5,000 for motor. That is not right. I wish Chrysler would do something about this. That's alot of money gone down the drain in 3 months and I kept it clean and running. My oil ain't even turn color yet. It's still clear. My car been sitting down going on a whole year.

Summary

I have 130k mileage on my Chrysler 300 2007 model. For about 3months, I’ve been experiencing fuel leaks from the bottom rear corner of the driver side just directly beneath my fuel tank, which also makes both the exterior and interior of the car smell of gas. I took the car for maintenance and the fuel tank seals were replaced after my fuel pump was changed. There was no visible fuel spill after the rear seats were removed and inspected but there was constant droplets of fuel from beneath the rear left side of the car. I don’t know what else to do and what can cause this?.. besides, whenever I put fuel in my tank, I can smell fuel coming from the AC vents. Also, my airbag warning light has been on for a long time on my dashboard. Help!!!

Summary

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO OWNERS IN THE SAME FAMILY AND HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE (66000). THE ISSUE BEGAN IN OCTOBER OF 2018. WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AT 40 MPH THE INDICATORS ON THE DASH BEGAN FLICKERING AND MAKING NOISE. THIS CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY FOR THREE MONTHS BUT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THEN IN JANUARY OF 2019 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME THERE THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 BUT THE CAR COULD STILL BE OPERATED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE FOR OVER A MONTH BUT HAD NO LUCK. AS INSTRUCTED BY THE MECHANIC THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2006. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS IN FEBRUARY OF 2019 AND COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, CHARGING THE OWNER A $240 FEE FOR NOTHING. AS SOON AS THE OWNER LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IMMEDIATELY TO THE OWNERS PERSONAL MECHANIC WHO HAS HAD THE CAR EVER SINCE. THE MECHANIC HAS SINCE BROUGHT THE CAR TO ANOTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN TOWN WHO CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $600 ENDING IN NO DIAGNOSIS. THE CAR IS UNABLE TO PASS SMOG AS NOW THE PROBLEM OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE SEEN THIS COMPLAINT SEVERAL TIMES ONLINE AND IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING OR COMPENSATING THE OWNERS FOR AN OBVIOUS MECHANICAL ISSUE.

Summary

PURCHASED THIS CAR FEW MONTHS AGO. MONDAY FEB. 24TH, 2020 I WAS SITTING INSIDE MY CAR WHEN SUDDENLY I NOTICE A FIRE IN THE ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY GRAB MY WALLET AND PHONE EXITED THE CAR AND CALLED 911. THE FIREMEN CAME (FIRE WAS OUT BY THAT TIME) . I HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (4460 MCHENRY AVE, MODESTO CA 95356 CENTRAL VALLEY CHRYSLER, NISSAN) THEY HAD CAR FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND TODAY CALLED ME IN TO TELL ME THAT A ROD SHOT THROUGH THE OIL PAN (I ASSUME IT OCCURRED AFTER FIRE STARTED BECAUSE I DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING PRIOR TO FIRE AND WAS NOT DRIVING CAR WHEN FIRE STARTED). THEY TOLE ME THAT IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE BUT THEY NEED TO DO MORE RESEARCH ON CAR AND GO INTO ENGINE (WHICH I GUESS IS A BIG TASK). THEY TELL ME THAT IF THEY DETERMINE THAT THEY MUST REPLACE ENGINE AT THEIR COST (UPON BUYING CAR DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I COULD ONLY GET FINANCED FOR CAR IF I PURCHASED A 24 MONTH WARRANTY WHICH I DID). THEY THEN ADVISE ME THAT THIS JOB OF JUST LOOKING INTO ENGINE IS $4,200.00 AND THAT I MUST PAY THEM THIS AMOUNT PRIOR TO THEM DOING THEIR EXPLORATORY WORK ON ENGINE. THEY TELL ME THAT IF I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE FIRE (THAT IS CRAZY TO THINK I SOMEHOW IN VERY SHORT TIME AS OWNER CAUSED CAR TO JUST CATCH FIRE OUT OF THE BLUE WHILE SITTING IN IT PARKED) THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH A USED ONE. I FEEL AS THOUGH A USED ENGINE MAY FORCE ME TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN AND I WAS FORTUNATE AS IF FIRE WERE TO TRAVEL THROUGH GAS LINE I WOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW. I BELIEVE THEY WANT TO FORCE ME TO PAY THIS MONEY UP FRONT AND THEN TRY AND TELL ME IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING, NULLIFYING MY WARRANTY JUST SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO HONOR THEIR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS.

Summary

MY CAR WILL OUTRIGHT JUST STOP FOR NO REASON. I WILL SIT AT A LIGHT AND THE RPM GUAGE WILL START GOING OUT OF CONTROL AND THE CAR WILL REV ON ITS OWN. THEN I WILL START DRIVING AND TI WILL BE FIND UNTIL I GO TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES. THEN THE WHOLE CAR WILL CUT OUT. I'M ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN OVER AGAIN AFTER TWO OR THREE EFFORTS OF TURNING THE KEY AND PUMPING THE BRAKE. IT HAS ONCE DONE IT WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, WHICH I AM NOT OKAY WITH. LUCKILY, WE WERE TURNING INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY INTO HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. IT TURNED OFF AND ON ABOUT 7 TIMES DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE IT STARTED RUNNING PROPERLY AGAIN. IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I WOULD HIT THE BRAKES OR ATTEMPT TO TURN. THE CAR CUT OUT LIKE IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS PLENTY IN THE TANK. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE (TRACTION, ABS, ETC) CAME ON AND THEN DISAPPEARED ONCE IT STARTED RUNNING OKAY AGAIN. I HAD MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED TWICE THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND IT WAS NOT. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND IT'S TO LATE TO FIX IT.

THE CAR HAS ONLY 92000 MILES AND MAINTAINED GOOD. SINCE IT WAS ONLY 70000 MILES THE A.C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT INSIDE THE DASHBOARD THE EVAPORATOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY CAUSING FREON LEAK. AND OUTRAGE REPAIR OF 2000 DOLLARS WILL BE THE COST. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY CHRYSLER'S 300 2005-2010. SINCE THAT IS A MAIN ISSUE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART? IT SEEMS LIKE THAT COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OVER A 10000 CUSTOMERS AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ON THEIR PRODUCTS CHRYSLER GUARANTY THAT ISSUE LIKE THIS WOULD NOT APPEAR UNTIL VEHICLE REACH AT LEAST 100000 MILES. LIVING IN STATE OF FLORIDA THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TEMPERATURES REACH 120 F IN THE VEHICLE. OTHER ISSUES INCLUDE ARE FUEL INJECTORS AND EGR SENSOR CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING WITHOUT NO WARNING AND IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I ALWAYS SUPPORT BUYING USA VEHICLES AND WE ALL NEED TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR ECONOMY BUT IF COMPANIES DON'T STAND FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS GUARANTY AND QUALITY EVERYONE WILL PURCHASE DIFFERENT VEHICLES WITH BETTER QUALITY.

I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAW THAT IT HAD MULTIPAL FAULTSBUT DID NOT KNOW THE CAUSE. THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED AFTER IT COOLED DOWN. SIX MONTHS LATER SAMETHING. LAST WEEK 5/07/2019 BACK TO A DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALER THIS TIME BUT HAD IT TOWED. I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS IN THAT IF ON THE FREEWAY OR OPEN ROAD AND CAN NOT PULL OVER THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION.

SINCE WE COULDN'T PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" AND WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GET IT TO A MECHANIC RIGHT AWAY, WE WOULD PUT IT IN "NEUTRAL" AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE PROBLEM IS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STARTED FAILING, WHICH SEEMS ODD SINCE IT WAS ONLY USED A FEW TIMES.

I'VE READ ABOUT DODGE JEEP AND CHRYSLER HEMI 5.7S AND VALVE SEATS AND MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH NO SURE REASON AS TO WHY. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME DEFECT IN THE ENGINE ITSELF CAUSING THIS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY'S WON'T COVER CLAIMING BECAUSE VALVE SEATS AREN'T AN INTERNALLY LUBRICATED PART OR SOME BS REASON.

CAR DIES RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, IDLING AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP, OR STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STALLED. LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY PART THAT IS MOLDED INTO THE 19 GALLON FUEL TANK BUT SAID MY CAR WASN'T COVERED. MY MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THE "ROLLOVER" VALVE IN THE TANK WAS INDEED FAULTY. HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER TWICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE FLATLY REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH THEY AGREED THAT MY CAR HAS A 19 GALLON TANK. I KNOW THAT CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE OVER 150K OF THESE FAULTY TANKS. MINE IS FAULTY ALSO BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR FOR NOW OUT OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 40 MPH AND HAD TO COME TO BRIEF STOP AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I ALMOST GOT INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT DURING TRAFFIC. NOW EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND TRY TO BRAKE NOW IT SHAKES AND IS VERY UNSAFE. I THEN LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT SUBFRAME AND ENGINE CRADLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT IT MIGHT BREAK AT ANY MOMENT. I NO LONGER CAN DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY AND I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK, WIFE'S WORK AND MY SONS SCHOOL. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT'S GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE AND NEEDS DONE IMMEDIATELY. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2006 HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD TO BE RECALLED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 50000 MILES ON IT AND WAS GARAGE KEPT. SO I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. IT'S SO DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE KNOWN ABOUT. I WILL HAVE TO GET IT FIXED THIS WEEK AND IT WILL COST ME A FORTUNE. THANK YOU!

Summary

OVER 2 YEARS AGO AT 108,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING WE EXPERIENCED A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED BUT THE CAR KEPT RUNNING ROUGH AND SMOKING. WE OPENED UP THE ENGINE AND A PISTON HAD FAILED AND COLLAPSED IN UPON ITSELF. WE PULLED THE ENGINE AND PERFORMED A COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AT 134,000 MILES WE HAD A SIMILAR OCCURRENCE. WE PULLED THE HEAD AND FOUND THAT CYLINDER TWO HAD DAMAGE ON THE HEAD AND CORRESPONDING LOCATIONS ON THE PISTON. COMPRESSION TEST CONFIRMED LOSS OF COMPRESSION ON CYLINDER 2. I PURCHASED A NEW HEAD AND UPON REASSEMBLY I SHOOK THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND DISCOVERED THERE WERE OBJECTS INSIDE. I WAS ABLE TO GET SOME OF THEM OUT AND THEY APPEAR TO BE PARTS OF THE VALVE SEAT FROM CYLINDER 2. I AM ATTACHING PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD AT CYLINDER NUMBER 2 AND ALSO THE FRAGMENTS THAT I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WHICH APPEAR TO BE PARTS OF THE VALVE SEAT FROM THE EXHAUST VALVE AT CYLINDER NUMBER 2. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 10 YEARS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT NEW BY MY WIFE AND HAS NEVER BEEN STRESSED RACED OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY. WE LIKE OUR CAR WHICH IS WHY I WENT THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF REBUILDING THE ENGINE 2 YEARS AGO AND HAVE GONE TO THE LENGTHS THAT I HAVE GONE TO THIS TIME. HOWEVER AFTER DISCOVERING THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS ENGINE I DON'T FEEL THAT I CAN TRUST IT ANYMORE. FURTHER I AM GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT OTHER MAKE VEHICLES AS I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TRUST A CHRYSLER PRODUCT ANYMORE. WE HAVE BEEN LOYAL CHRYSLER CONSUMERS FOR QUITE SOME TIME AS WELL AS WAS MY FATHER BEFORE ME. I'M HOPING THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO FOR US TO RIGHT THIS SITUATION.

MY CHRYSLER 300 CUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT DOES THIS WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN, I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE WHEEL EVERYTHING LOCKED EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKES AND GEAR. I PUSH ON THE BRAKES AND PUT IT INTO GEAR I CRANK THE CAT UP AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS TURNING INTO THE PARKING LOT AND IT CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I HAD TO DO THE SAME THING. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HAVE HAD THINGS REPLACED ON THE CAR BUT STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. JUST YESTERDAY I WAS ALMOST AT THE LIGHT AND I LOST POWER. I HAD TO ONCE AGAIN HURRY AND PUT IT INTO PARKING AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THIS ISSUE SCARES ME BECAUSE I HAVE A 7YR OLD DAUGHTER THAT IS WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME AND THIS CAR DOESN'T HAVE A SET TIME WHEN IT DOES IT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. I AM AFRAID THAT IT MAY DO THIS ON THE HIGHWAY OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY CAR'S 96,000 MILE ENGINE SUDDENLY BLEW A #6 CYLINDER SOON AFTER I DROVE FROM WORK. I HAVE AN EXCELLENT SERVICE HISTORY. NEVER HAD ANY WARNING OR ISSUES. NOW I'M TOLD TO PAY 6500 FOR ANOTHER ENGINE WITH MORE MILES. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THIS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER HEMI ENGINES. MY NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT MY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR. WHY HAS CHRYSLER BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE?

MY CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND REMOVED THE COMPONENTS. I NOTICED THAT PINK PLASTIC SHIFT RELEASER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I ALSO PREVIOUSLY HAD A CHRYSLER 300 AND IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE. IT WILL COST ME OVER $400.00 BECAUSE I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEM BECAUSE OF ONE PLASTIC PART. I WILL TRY TO REPLACE IT MYSELF WITH BILLETED ALUMINUM PART THAT I CAN BUY AT THE CAR PARTS STORE, INSTEAD BUYING THE WHOLE SYSTEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER CAN NOT PUT MORE DURABLE ONES. LIKE I SAID I ALREADY OWNED ONE CHRYSLER 300 AND THE SAME ISSUE EMERGED, SO WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENED I DECIDED TO WRITE ABOUT IT.

Summary

12/5/2015 WENT TO THE MARKET, 2 MILES FROM HOME. WENT INTO THE STORE FOR APPROX. 15 MINUTES. WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR TO START IS WOULDN'T START, NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM. COULDN'T MOVE CAR SO HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, MCPEEKS DODGE OF ANAHEIM. SERVICE WRITER TOLD US THAT THE NOISE IN THE ENGINE WAS TWO VALVE SEATS DROPPED INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING CYLINDER HEAD AND BORE DAMAGE. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD OUR CAR SERVICE BY DEALER WHEN WE NEEDED OIL CHANGE, TUNE UP OR WHATEVER WAS NECESSARY FOR CAR. WE KEEP CAR IN GARAGE AND DRIVE AT POSTED SPEED AND ALWAYS KEEP OUR VEHICLE IN NEW CONDITION. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE IN OUR SEVENTIES SO WE AREN'T RECKLESS WITH OUR VEHICLES. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OF ANY ENGINE TROUBLE AND THE SERVICE WRITER COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAD HAPPENED WITH ONLY 44,612 MILES ON A 2007 VEHICLE WHICH WE BOUGHT NEW IN 2007. WE HAD TO PAY $8749.65 FOR A NEW ENGINE WHICH IS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 3 YRS OR 70,000 MILES. WE ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 5,000 MILES A YEAR. SO THIS MEANS IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN I WOULD HAVE ONLY PUT 15,000 MILES ON MY CAR IN THREE YEARS. THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG. AFTER REVIEWING ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET I FIND THAT CHRYSLER HAS ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH 2006, 2007 VEHICLES...ENGINE GOES OUT AT AROUND 70,000 MILES, OURS AT 44,612. WE PAID $42,000 FOR THE CAR NEW IN 2007. CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR OUR PROBLEM SINCE THEY KNEW THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH 300, 300C ENGINES. WE ARE OUT THE TOWING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR USING A SMALL SAVINGS WE HAVE AS A RETIRED COUPLE. A SEVEN YEAR OLD CAR WITH 44,000 MILES SHOULD HAVE A ENGINE LAST LONGER. AS NOTED THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND PARKED AT A SUPERMARKET FOR NO MORE THAN 15 MINUTES AND DID NOT DEMONSTRATE ANY ENGINE PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS PROBLEM DROVE BEAUTIFULLY. WE HAVE THE BILL, WHICH HAS BEEN PAID BY US. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO DOWNLOAD, BUT I COULD FAX IF CONTACTED.

Summary

DROVE MY CAR TO WORK IN THE MORNING WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER WORK I STARTED THE CAR AND COULD NOT SHIFT THE GEAR OUT OF PARK. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON ETC. BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP. THEY CAME AND REMOVED THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY TO GET IT TO THE SHOP AND SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE A SMALL PLASTIC PIECE WAS BROKEN INSIDE AND THEY COULDN'T JUST REPLACE THE PIECE, IT HAD TO BE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY FOR THE COST OF $300.00. NO WARNINGS OR OTHER ISSUES. AFTER LOOKING THE PROBLEM UP ON THE INTERNET, SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR SEVERAL TIMES JUST SHUTTING DOWN OR ALMOST SHUTTING OFF (JERKS LIKE YOU ARE HIT AND SEEMS LIKE IT IS SHUTTING DOWN BUT THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL) WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN. USUALLY IT WILL START BACK UP QUICKLY BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED 2 TIMES BECAUSE OF IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 DIFFERENT TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DIDN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS.

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER USED MY CRUISE CONTROL SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY CAR. I WAS TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY; ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL. THE ENGINE WAS RACING TO A HIGH RPM AND ACCELERATING. TWO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IMMEDIATELY, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE EVEN WHEN HITTING THE BRAKE. WHILE I TRIED REGAINING CONTROL OF MY CAR I TRIED TURNING THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF. IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HIT CANCEL ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT STILL WOULDN'T DISENGAGE. FINALLY, I KEPT BRAKING AND PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR, WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, CONTINUED TO REV UP. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS STILL ENGAGED, EVEN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT NOW OFF, AND THE R.P.M'S CONTINUED TO BE HIGH, SO I TOOK THE NEXT EXIT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE FOR 15 MINUTES. THE TWO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THE CAR IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL COMES ON AFTER 40 MPH ON ITS OWN AND THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON.

SIX MONTHS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR A REPAIR OF A PART THAT COULD TAKE YOUR LIFE OR CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BODILY INJURY EACH TIME YOU MUST DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE.

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER REPAIR AGAIN. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/16/15 BECAUSE THE AIR CONDITION WOULD COOL FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND STOP. THEN AFTER ABOUT 20 MINS LATER IT WOULD START COOLING AGAIN. THE DIAGNOSED WAS THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND FRONT CONTROL MODULE. MY TOTAL PARTS COST WAS $889.00. MY TOTAL COST WITH LABOR AND OUT THE DOOR COST WAS $1440.81. MY CAR STAY IN THE SHOP UNTIL YESTERDAY 5/26/15 FOR THEM TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. I DRIVE IT TO THE CAR WASH AND HOME. THIS MORNING 5/27/15 I DROVE IT APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES AND IT STOPPED ACCELERATION. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE LAST PROBLEM I HAD, I STARTED READING ALL THE OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR. I WAS AMAZED BECAUSE OTHER THEN MY RADIATOR AND FAN EXPLOSIONS I HADN'T EXPERIENCE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I'M FINDING THAT, AS I READ COMPLAINTS REPORTED HERE THEY ARE SLOW HAPPENING TO ME. MY FATHER USE TO SAY TO ME BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY "STAND FOR SOMETHING OR FALL FOR EVERYTHING" . IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING WE AS CONSUMER COULD DO ABOUT THIS. CLEARLY THERE ARE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THESE CARS. I SPENT HOURS COMPILING A LIST OF COMPLAINTS YOU ALL REPORTED AND I PLAN TO WRITE LETTERS TO EVERYONE THAT SUPPOSE TO PROTECT US FROM THIS AND COULD MAKE A DIFFERENT FOR US. THIS IS NOT OK! I'M GOING TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA AS MUCH AS I CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT TO OTHERS CONSUMERS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS AND SETUP A WEB SITE FOR EVERYONE TO USE. THIS IS NOT OK! CONSUMERS BUY THESE VEHICLE TRUSTING THAT THE MANUFACTURERS AND CAR DEALER ARE SELLING THEM A PRODUCT THAT WILL SERVE THEIR NEEDS WELL AND A PRODUCT THAT WILL LAST THEM A VERY LONG TIME NOT A PRODUCT THAT WILL NEED REWIRING IS 8 YEARS, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! THESE CARS ARE RESOLD TO OTHER CONSUMER ALSO! *TR

Summary

DROVE CAR ALL MORNING LONG, STOPPED AT A FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE FOR A FEW HOURS. CAME OUT TO CAR TO LEAVE AND CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK, CHECKED TO MAKE SURE ALL BRAKE LIGHTS WERE WORKING INCASE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR WAS BAD(ALL LIGHTS CAME ON) CHECKS BRAKE FLUID (UP TO LEVEL) GOOGLED CHRYSLER 300 STUCK IN PARK AND HAD AN OVERFLOW OF ANSWERS AND VIDEOS SHOWING ME WHAT WAS WRONG AND HOW TO ATLEAST GET IT OUT OF PARK TO GET HOME/TO A GARAGE(SUNDAY NOONE WAS OPEN). I SAW THIS IS A RECALL ON THE 300 MODELS FROM 05-UP TO 08 I THINK. I CALLED CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER TO BE TOLD THAT YES MY CAR IS IN THE RIGHT YEAR FRAME BUT IT IS UNCOVERED DUE TO IT IS NOT A MOPAR PART OR BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN SEP 2006. SO I AM A BIT UPSET AT THIS BECAUSE THE EXACT THING THAT IS ON A RECALL HAPPENED TO MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300 BUT IS UNCOVERED.

CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE ABOUT IT. THEY EVEN POSTED THIS PDF DOCUMENT ONLINE ABOUT IT. HTTP://WWW.CHRYSLER.COM/WEBSELFSERVICE/PDF/K39.PDF I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS TO VERIFY BUT THEY STATED IT WAS ONLY FOR CHRYSLER 300'S BUILT AFTER JULY 2007.

Summary

AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING AT WORK FOR ABOUT 10 HOURS, I FOUND THAT I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK. THE SHIFTER WAS LOCKED UP, AND WOULD NOT MOVE INTO GEAR. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE, AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN UNDER DESIGNED PLASTIC PIECE IN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY LOCATED UNDER THE SHIFT KNOB THAT WAS KNOWN TO BREAK AND CAUSE THIS ISSUE. I HAD TO TEAR APART MY CENTER CONSOLE AND USE A SCREW DRIVER TO MANUALLY PULL ON A CABLE IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE SHIFTER AND ALLOW ME TO GET OUT OF PARK. HAD I NOT HAD THE CORRECT TOOLS IN MY VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK. I HAD THE PART REPLACED, BUT EXPERIENCED A SECOND OCCURRENCE ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER. THIS TIME I FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS STUCK IN GEAR. I WAS FREELY ABLE TO MOVE BETWEEN DRIVE, NEUTRAL, AND REVERSE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO PARK. TO ADD TO THE HEAD ACHE, BECAUSE THE TOURING EDITION HAS A SLAP STICK FUNCTION (SIMILAR TO A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR), PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR DOES NOT CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO LOCK UP. THIS FACT, COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT THE PARKING BRAKE DID NOT SUPPLY SUFFICIENT STOPPING POWER TO HOLD THE CAR AT A STANDSTILL ON EVEN A MILD GRADE SLOPE, I WAS UNABLE TO SECURE THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AWAY UNLESS ON A COMPLETELY FLAT SURFACE. I HAD TO PLACE WOOD BLOCKS UNDER THE WHEELS TO AVOID THE CAR FROM ROLLING AWAY. *TR

Summary

WENT TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, COULD NOT. TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER SPRING HOOK FAILED. I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL (K39) FOR THIS PART, BUT IT WAS VIN SPECIFIC. SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE AS WELL AS REPAIR INSTRUCTION. CALLED DEALER WHO STATED HE HASN'T HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM, BUT AS A COINCIDENCE ANOTHER 300 WAS BEING WORKED ON TODAY FOR THE VERY SAME REASON. DEALER ALSO STATED MY VIN DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE RECALL CATEGORY. DEALER WANTED OVER $400.00 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFTER HOUSING INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE BROKEN PART ITSELF AND SAID THE JOB WOULD TAKE ABOUT 3 HRS TO PERFORM. I WENT TO A CAR PARTS STORE AND BOUGHT A BILLETED ALUMINUM REPLACEMENT PART FOR THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE. INSTALLED IT MYSELF AND SAVED $360.00 AND A TOW, PLUS DOWN TIME. FIX WAS DONE IN AN HOUR. HOW CHRYSLER CAN INSTALL A CHEAP .29 CENT PLASTIC PART THAT TAKES THE MOST BEATING AND IS SO CRUCIAL TO THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND EXPECT IT TO WORK IS BEYOND ME. THIS AFFECTS A LOT OF VEHICLES, NOT JUST MINE. GOOD THING THE CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN IT FAILED. I WAS LUCKY. MANY OTHERS ARE NOT. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A $30,000 CAR. *TR

Summary

THE CORROSION ON THE CARS' ALLOY WHEELS IS SUCH THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO ALWAYS CARRY A MANUAL TIRE PUMP SINCE THE CORROSION ALLOWS AIR TO ESCAPE FROM THE TIRE. I HAVE CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS COMMON WITH ALLOY WHEELS WHICH ARE NOW USED TO EFFECT A WEIGHT SAVINGS. ADDITIONALLY, THE LUG NUTS HAVE A METAL (STAINLESS STEEL) PRESSED OVER THE STEEL LUG NUT TO PRESENT A MORE PLEASING APPEARANCE. UNFORTUNATELY, WATER AND ROAD SALT MIGRATE BETWEEN THE TWO METALS AND CORROSION CAUSES THE PRESSED-ON METAL TO EXPAND TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT A TIRE SHOP HAD TO HAMMER AN OVERSIZE SOCKET ON THE LUG NUT TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL FROM THE CAR. THIS MEANS THAT A MOTORIST WHO EXPERIENCED ENOUGH OF A AIR LOSS WOULD BE UNABLE TO CHANGE THE TIRE WITH THE MANUFACTURERS-PROVIDED TOOL. *TR

Summary

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. IT HAS A LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE PAPER WORK OF THE WARRANTY I STILL HAD TO ARGUE WITH A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER ON A COVERED PART. AFTERWARDS I STILL HAD TO PAY A $50.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT CAME WITH THIS LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. AS I READ THE COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS VEHICLE, THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE GEAR SHIFT HANDLE STICKING AND EVEN THE ONE ABOUT THE OPERATION FROM 4 TO 8 CYLINDERS I WHAT TO LEAVE THIS INFORMATION ON HERE FOR THEM. IF THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE 07 CHRYSLER 300C AND HAVE KEPT UP THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ON IT THEN THEY TO SHOULD HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THOSE REPAIRS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE POWER TRAIN. MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE HEATER. THE KNOB ALLOWS YOU TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE FROM 60 TO 88 HIGH. MY HEAT DOESN'T COME ON UNTIL IT'S TURNED ALL THE WAY UP TO HIGH AND THEN IT IS SCORCHING HOT. THERE'S NO IN-BETWEEN. IT'S EITHER COLD OR VERY HOT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND VERY AGGRAVATING. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE PAST WINTER I DIDN'T DRIVE MY 300C FOR A MONTH DO TO THE ICE AND SNOW. I LEFT IT PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE BATTERY DIED. SO I CHARGED IT AND NOW THE 3 LIGHTS, THE ANTI-LOCK BREAKS, SKID AND TRACTION WONT GO OFF. I'VE CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND EVEN HOOKED UP THE SCANNER TO CHECK FOR CODES. NO BAD FUSES AND NO BAD CODES. I'VE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE HOPING THAT MIGHT RESET WHAT EVER IS CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON. STILL NO LUCK. I'VE DROVE THE CAR ALL SPRING, SUMMER AND NOW FALL 2014 WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES OR STEERING. BUT I DO NOT WANT THESE LIGHTS TO STAY ON AS THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE SAFETY ITEMS AND IS CONCERNING. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS? IF SO CAN YOU EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FOUND OUT IF ANYTHING. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CHECK TPM SYSTEM SHOWS ON MY DASH DISPLAY EVERY 10 MINUTES AFTER I START MY VEHICLE. THIS STARTED OCCURRING AFTER I HAD MY TIRES ROTATED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRIED TO DO A BATTERY DISCONNECT AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS . THEY COULD READ ALL OF THE PRESSURES BY USING THE LITTLE WAND ON EACH TIRE. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO MAKE THEM FIX WHAT THEY BROKE, THEY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND THE WHEEL ROTATION MUST HAVE TRIGGERED SOMETHING. THEY STARTED ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS THAT THEY SAID THEY GOT FROM CONSULTING CHRYSLER LIKE "ARE YOU GOING BY A TOWER THAT COULD BE DISTRACTING YOUR SIGNAL?" I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR 7 YEARS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I AM GETTING A SIGNAL TO DISTRACT MY SYSTEM. NOT! THEY KICKED ME TO THE CURB AND TERMINATED MY REPAIR ORDER EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF TALKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND GENERAL MANAGER. I CONSULTED ANOTHER TIRE SERVICE COMPANY AND THEY COULD NOT TELL WHY. I AM AT A LOSS AND VERY IRRITATED FROM THE SIGNAL EVERY CAR STARTUP. I HAVE SINCE PAID TO HAVE ANOTHER TIRE ROTATION TO SEE IF I COULD CHANGE THE WAY THE SENSORS ARE READING TO THE MAIN RELAY AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE FOR NOW. *TR

I PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AND WHEN I TRIED TO BACK OUT THE CAR, THE GEAR WAS STUCK IN PARK. THE MANUAL SAID TO REMOVE AND THE SMALL STORAGE BIN AND PRESS THE PINK TAB. NOTHING HAPPENED. I CALLED AAA TOWING AND THEY CAME OUT. HE REMOVED THE ENTIRE TOP PORTION AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT AND SAID TO RELEASE THE GEAR SHIFT USE YOUR FINGER ALONG THE CABLE AND PUSH THE FIRST THING YOU FEEL. IT WORKED AND EACH TIME I REMOVE FROM PARK, I HAVE TO RUN MY FINGER ALONG THE CABLE AND PUSH THE BUTTON. HE SAID THAT A PINK $14 PART IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY QUOTED ME $450 TO REPAIR. I CALLED MY AUTO SHOP IN LA QUINTA AND THEY QUOTED $120. EVERYONE SAID THAT THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME ON THE CHRYSLER 300. *TR

Summary

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 CHRYSLER 300 IN 2008. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 86,000 MILES ON IT. BEFORE IT REACHED 100,000 MILES THE PROBLEMS HAD ALREADY STARTED. FIRST THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND ANOTHER LIGHT LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY PANEL CAME ON. MY CAR WAS LOCKING ME OUT AT ANY MOMENT. FIRST I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY FAULT BUT IT HAPPENED TWICE TO ME WHILE MY CAR WAS RUNNING AND MY KEYS IN THE IGNITION!! WELL, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, " I KNOW I DIDN'T HIT THE LOCK BUTTON BEFORE I GOT OUT OF MY CAR, SO WHEN IT HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME I WENT HOME AND SIT IN MY GARAGE AND I SAT AND WATCHED. ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ALL BY ITSELF AND ON THE OUTSIDE WITH MY KEYS WATCHING THIS THINKING "I WAS RIGHT"!!!! WELL NOT ONLY WAS THE CAR ACTING CRAZY, IT STARTED ACTING UP WHEN I PULL OUT OF ANY ROAD LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, AND I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF, "I AM EVENTUALLY GOING TO GET RAN OVER BECAUSE MY CAR WONT GO!!!! DURING THESE INCIDENTS THE ABS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WOULD COME ON THEN GO OFF AND COME BACK ON AGAIN. I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS GOING TO DO. CERTAIN TIMES GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT WOULD DO THE SAME THING AND IT WAS ACTING LIKE THE WHEELS WAS GOING TO LOCK UP!!! UNTIL THIS VERY DAY, 08-05-2014 IT STILL HAS THESE PROBLEMS. I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT IT AND ILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER OR DODGE EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FINALLY MADE THE CALL AFTER 6 YEARS OF THIS CRAP AND THE LADY I SPOKE TO SAYS, "THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR CAR. WELL CHRYSLER!!?? I WISH YOU WOULD BUY THIS BURDEN BACK AND SELL IT FOR SCRAP!!! ITS BEEN THE BIGGEST BURDEN I HAVE HAD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE HAS BEEN MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED THAT YOU NEED TO DRIVE IT TO FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF! *TR

AND SINCE THIS IS SO, DID THEY FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURER? ALSO, I WILL HAVE TO HAD TO FIX MY INTERLOCK SHIFT NOW FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS COME THIS THURSDAY. I AM WORRIED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK AND MOVE OUT OF THE WAY IN AN EMERGENCY. I AM GOING TO UTILIZE SOCIAL MEDIA TO SEE IF I CAN GET MORE PEOPLE TO COMPLAIN TO YOU ALL AND ALSO TO CHRYSLER TO GET THIS COSTLY AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

Summary

I DROPPED OFF MY CAR TO HAVE NEW TIRES PUT ON IT. THE SHOP CALLED ME BACK AND SAID IT MAY LEAK AIR IF THEY PUT THE ORIGINAL ALUMINUM STEM BACK IN THEY DON'T CARRY CHRYSLER PARTS SO THEY SUGGESTED USING A RUBBER STEM. THEY SAID I CAN PURCHASE ONE FROM AUTO STORE AND HAVE THE DEALER OR ANOTHER SHOP INSTALL IT. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SENSOR) WAS NOT READING ONE OF THE TIRES. THEY SAID IF IT DOESN'T WORK BY THE MORNING TO BRING IT BACK IN. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND RECEIVED A CALL 4 HRS LATER STATING THEY HAD PULLED THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SENSOR OUT OF THE TIRE THE DAY BEFORE AND LEFT IT IN MY CUP HOLDER. THEY STATED THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO THAT I NEED TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE SENSOR WORKS AND WORKED WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. (THEY HAD ROTATED MY TIRES A MONTH EARLIER AND HAD NO ISSUES REPORTED AT THAT TIME) THEY INDICATED THEY WERE HAVING AN ISSUE REMOVING THE NEEDLE FROM THE VALVE STEM SO THEY DECIDED TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE SENSOR. I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS ILLEGAL TO REMOVE A MANDATORY SAFETY DEVICE AND GIVE ME THE CAR BACK AND TELL ME TO HAVE ANOTHER PLACE TAKE CARE OF IT. 49 USC 30122(B). *TR

COOLING FAN SEPARATED FROM ITS ASSEMBLY WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY FROM MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THE FAN SHATTERED AND TORE INTO MY RADIATOR CREATING A MAJOR ANTIFREEZE DUMP OUT OF THE RESERVOIR. THOUGHT I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND HOWEVER THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. THERE WAS NOT ANY AUDIBLE WARNING INDICATORS OR DASH LIGHTS WARNINGS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS FAN FAILURE IN WHICH THE A/C CONTINUED BLOWING COLD AIR. WITHIN 3 MIN OF FAILURE AS I SET AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE COOLING TEMP LIGHT CAME ON. I VEERED OFF AND PULLED INTO JIFFY LUBE AND FOUND OUT I HAD A ANTIFREEZE LEAK DUE TO LOOKING AT A POOL OF RED LIQUID ON THE GROUND...THE MECHANICS POURED WATER INTO THE RESERVOIR AND WE ALL NOTICED WATER POURING RIGHT OUT....AS WE LET THE CAR COOL WE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART VEHICLE AND THE IGNITION WOULDN'T TURN ON. ....HAD MY CHRYSLER TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED A $8000 FIX WHICH INCLUDED $4000 OF IT FOR A REFURBISHED ENGINE DUE TO CYLINDER HEAD DAMAGE...THE DAMAGE ALL HAPPENED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF FAILURE.....DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THERE IS A 2006- 2008 DODGE CHARGER, DODGE MAGNUM, AND CHRYSLER 300 RECALL "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION L08 ENGINE COOLING FAN JUNE 2011". RECALL STATES THAT THE COOLING FAN FAILS AND COMES OFF IN HOT CLIMATE TEMPERATURE STATES. THIS WAS THE SAME EXACT FAILURE I HAD EXPERIENCED AND WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER I WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY SALES CODE HAD TO BE SALES CODE XDL OR XDK...SAME EXACT SITUATION HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS INCLUDING ONE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE MINE IN WHICH CUSTOMER WAS DENIED. CHRYSLER WAS CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE HAD 2 CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS HANG UP IN MY GIRLFRIEND'S FACE AS SHE WAS EXPLAINING TO THE REPS HOW THIS FAILURE WAS THE SAME EXACT FAILURE. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ADDITIONAL RECALL INVESTIGATION INTO THESE COOLING FANS BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS UP SEVERELY INJURED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

Summary

I HAD DRIVEN MY CAR HOME FROM WORK, I WAS ON THE STREET I LIVE ON AND WAITING FOR AN AMBULANCE TO CLEAR THE ENTRANCE TO MY DRIVE WAY SO I COULD PARK. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AT THE DIRECTION OF THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM, ONCE THE EMERGENCY VEHICLE HAD CLEARED THE ENTRANCE I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT MY CAR BACK IN TO DRIVE, OR REVERSE. IT WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO MOVE MY VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD IN ORDER NOT TO BLOCK TRAFFIC, I WAS ALSO SLIGHTLY IN THE LANE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES AT THE TIME (I LIVE IN AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY, IT IS NORMAL FOR THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO BE PRESENT ON AND AROUND THE PROPERTY AND THEY OFTEN DIRECT OTHER VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL FLOW OF TRAFFIC.) AFTER THIS INCIDENT I FOUND CHRYSLER HAD RECALLED SEVERAL VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AS MINE. HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE LIST, EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, CHRYSLER CLAIMED THIS TO BE COINCIDENTAL. HAD MY VEHICLE BEEN HIT WHILE BLOCKING TRAFFIC, WOULD CHRYSLER THEN FIX THIS ISSUE? WOULD THE GOVERNMENT REQUIRE THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IF SOMEONE DOES GET HURT? WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRODUCT THAT HAS CLEARLY HAD THE SAME DEFECT THEY ALREADY KNOW EXISTS? I AM APPALLED THAT THEY CAN KNOWINGLY HAVE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND CLAIM IT TO BE COINCIDENTAL. ON TOP OF THAT, THEY PROFIT FROM SELLING THE REPLACEMENT PART, THE LABOR AND THEY DON'T COVER THE TOWING EXPENSE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. DIDN'T OUR TAX DOLLARS RECENTLY GO TO A BAIL OUT? WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A COMPANY THAT WANTS TO ENSURE THEIR PRODUCTS ARE SAFE AND OPERATING IN A CORRECT MANNER. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

Summary

I HAVE OWNED TWO CHRYSLER 300'S BOTH BEING THE MODEL YEAR 2007 AND BOTH HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR SHIFT GETTING STUCK IN PARK. LEAVING TO TAKE MY SON TO SUMMER SCHOOL THIS MORNING AND COULD NOT GET MY CAR OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. HAD TO BREAK INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE AND USE A SCREWDRIVER TO GET THE CAR IN DRIVE. "UNFORTUNATELY" I KNEW HOW TO DO THIS BECAUSE THE 2007 MODEL THAT I OWNED THREE YEARS AGO DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUT MY PARKING BRAKE DOWN WHEN EVER I PARK MY CAR BECAUSE IF I PLACE IT IN PARK I WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE STEPS AGAIN TO UNLOCK IT. HUGE ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT THE REPLACEMENT PIECE HAPPENS TO BE MEDAL. SO I ASK WHY WOULD CHRYSLER GO THE CHEAP ROUTE AND PLACE A PLASTIC PIECE IN ALL OF THE VEHICLES (THAT COST A PRETTY PENNY) INSTEAD OF DOING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND HAVING THE MEDAL PIECE IN IT FROM THE START. SOUNDS LIKE A WAY TO GET CUSTOMERS TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND SPEND MORE MONEY. HORRIBLE BUSINESS ETHICS AND DUE TO THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO ME TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE VEHICLES I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER JEEP OR DODGE AGAIN! *TR

Summary

PER THREE MECHANICS, THE COOLING FAN AND COOLING PIPE THERMOSTAT WENT OUT IN THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT OF THESE PARTS LOOSENING, THE RADIATOR DEVELOPED A HOLE IN IT. MY CAR WAS LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID AND STOPPED RUNNING UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, AND DECIDED TO CALL AROUND FOR A SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH OPINION. EACH MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL WITH THESE SAME ISSUES LISTED WITH THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE AND YEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CONSISTENTLY REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ASSIST ME AND REFERRED ME TO THIS WEBSITE. I AM HOPING THAT SOMEONE INVESTIGATES THIS, AS THIS ISSUE IS VERY COSTLY AND NOT AS A RESULT OF ABUSE OR POOR USE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

Summary

THE CAR COULDN'T BE TAKEN OUT OF PARK. FINALLY BROKE INTO THE SHIFTER LEVER BY REMOVING THE COVERS (VERY TRICKY TO DO, AS I DIDN'T HAVE MY TOOLS), SO MY HUSBAND WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME PICK ME UP AN HOUR AWAY. I ALMOST DIDN'T FIGURE THIS OUT, SO LUCKY FOR ME I KEPT TRYING IT. THERE ARE LOTS (MANY, MANY) SITES THAT TALK ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON CHRYSLER 300S, INCLUDING YOUTUBE (WHICH SHOWS HOW TO UNSCREW THE WHOLE THING), AND AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS. THERE ARE SOME SMALL NEON PINK PLASTIC PIECES THAT KEEP THE SHIFTER LEVER WORKING PROPERLY, THE ONLY THING KEEPING THE CAR FROM BECOMING A GIANT PAPERWEIGHT (UNLESS ONE KNOWS TO PULL APART THE COVERS ALL THE WAY TO ACCESS THE GEARS/WIRES - NOT A REASONABLE THING TO EXPECT FROM MOST CONSUMERS). FOR NOW, I HAVE TO PULL A WIRE TO GET OUT OF PARK. HAPPENS WHEN PUT IN REVERSE ALSO. THIS ALSO LEADS TO PPL KEEPING THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE INSTEAD OF GOING INTO PARK, JUST SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO MESS WITH THE WIRE. WE HAVE PEOPLE ACCIDENTALLY GOING FORWARD AND HITTING THINGS AS THEY TRY TO STAY IN DRIVE RATHER THAN PUTTING IT INTO PARK, WHILE TALKING TO SOMEONE THEY KNOW ON THE STREET/SIDEWALK AND FORGETTING TO KEEP THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, (BE IT AT A SLOW SPEED, BUT STILL NOT GOOD IF CHILDREN GET IN THE WAY WHILE ONE ISN'T PAYING ATTENTION). I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO DEALER TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DOWN ABOUT IT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM FOR ANYONE RELYING ON THEIR CAR BEING ABLE TO DO SIMPLE THINGS LIKE SHIFT INTO DRIVE (OR REALLY ANYTHING OTHER THAN 'PARK'), AND IS A SAFETY RISK DUE TO DRIVERS ATTEMPTING TO USE THE CAR. WHAT COULD HAVE DISTURBED THESE PLASTIC PIECES IS MY MILE LONG DIRT DRIVEWAY THAT IS A LITTLE BUMPY AND VERY WET CURRENTLY. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE ON THIS, SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T GO THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID. THANK YOU! *TR

MY CAR CUTS OFF VERY FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW.

IT HAS CUT OFF AT THE RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT WHILE CROSSING THE INTERSECTION, GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY ETC. WE HAVE BROUGHT IN TO PLACES BUT THEY CANNOT FIND WHAT'S CAUSING IT TO SHUT OFF. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT FROM DRIVE TIME AND IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO WE ASKED DRIVE TIME TO ALLOW US TO BRING IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BUT THEY REFUSED AND SAID THEIR SHOPS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. WE KNOW THAT THE FEDS ARE INVESTIGATING CHRYSLER FOR ENGINE STALLING BUT WE HAVE YET TO HAVE HELP WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I FEAR FOR OUT OR ANYONE LIFE WHO ARE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH US. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS MATTER. *TR

MY STEERING WENT OUT IN MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300. I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-5 NEAR EXIT 165A. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE GOING 65 MPH AT 2:45PM WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND I COULD NO LONGER STEER THE VEHICLE. I CAME TO A STOP BUT WHILE DOING SO MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL JACK KNIFED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO JUST KEEP THE VEHICLE GOING STRAIGHT AS I CAME TO A STOP.I HAD TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE MOSTLY IN THE FAST LANE SINCE I COULD NOT STEER IT AND THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ONTO. I HAD TO JUMP OVER ON OPEN SPOT THAT I COULD SEE 40 FEET BELOW ME ON I-5 TO GET TO A QUIETER AREA TO MAKE MY PHONE CALLS FOR EMERGENCY HELP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE WRITER HAD NO TIME SO I DID AND FOUND A BROKEN HEAVY DUTY BALL JOINT THAT CONNECTS TO MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL. IT HAD SHEERED IN THE MIDDLE AND CAUSED MY STEERING TO GO OUT AND DAMAGED MY ABS BRAKING AND THE BRAKE SHIELD PLATE ALONG WITH SCRAPING THE INSIDE OF MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATE AT THERE HOTLINE AND WAS ASKING ABOUT A RECALL OR WARRANTY HELP. I WENT TO THE PARTS COUNTER AND TALKED WITH THEM AND THEY SAID THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY AND WE KEEP A SUPPLY OF BALL JOINTS ON HAND BECAUSE OF THIS. I PURCHASED THE BALL JOINT FOR MY VEHICLE. I ASKED HOW MUCH TO INSTALL THE PART AND IF THERE WAS A WARRANTY ON THERE WORK. HE SAID FOR 12 MONTHS THEY WOULD WARRANTY THE PART IF THEY INSTALLED IT. THEY FOUND MORE STEERING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY REPLACED THE LEFT BALL JOINT SINCE THEY SAW IT GOING OUT ALONG WITH THE LEFT AND RIGHT TIE RODS BECAUSE THEY WERE LOOSE ALONG WITH ABS PARTS THAT WERE RUINED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LOCAL POLICE DRIVE DODGE CHARGERS THAT HAVE THE SAME STEERING AS A CHRYSLER 300 AND THEY ARE REPLACING BALL JOINTS ON THOSE VEHICLES REGULARLY ALONG WITH THE CHRYSLER 300. *TR

THE RECALL INCLUDED 28,000 PLUS CARS. OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS BEYOND THOSE DATES LISTED ABOVE. THE PROBLEM NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATED. SO DUE TO JUST SHY OF A MONTH I'M WITHOUT A CAR. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT TOWED & REPAIRED AT APPROX $300 TO $400 PER THE DEALERSHIP.

Summary

I PARKED MY CAR AT A CVS PHARMACY DRIVE THRU TO PICK UP A PRESCRIPTION. ONCE THE TRANSACTION WAS COMPLETED I ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE AREA AND THE GEAR WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. I CALLED AAA (KEYSTONE) FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO MOVE MY CAR. UPON ARRIVAL TO MY CAR THE AAA FLEET DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM SEEMS COMMON WITH CHRYSLER-MADE VEHICLES RECENTLY. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT MY OVERRIDE BUTTON WAS BROKEN AND DID NOT WORK, THEN HE SHOWED ME HOW TO REMOVE THE GEAR SHAFT COVER TO ACCESS THE BACK UP OVERRIDE - THE GEAR RELEASE BUTTON. HE NOTED THAT HE JUST ASSISTED A DODGE CHARGER OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED I CHECK FOR ANY RECALL DATA FOR THIS ONGOING CHRYSLER PROBLEM. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED ONLINE TO LEARN THAT THERE IS A K39 RECALL FOR THE GEAR SHAFT OF 2005-2007 MODELS OF THE CHRYSLER 300. I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. ONCE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT FIT THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS AND TOLD THAT I MUST PAY TO FIX THE PART OUT OF POCKET. THIS $400 REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE RECALL, AND CHRYSLER! MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED MAY 23, 2007 AND THE "ARBITRARY" CUT OFF DATE FOR THE K39 RECALL IS JUNE 1, 2007! HOW CAN ONE - TWO WEEKS MAKE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE?!? HOW CAN 2005 MODELS BE INCLUDED YET TWO WEEKS PRIOR NOT??? IF THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND IS NOTED AS A RECALL ISSUE ALL VEHICLES THAT ENCOUNTER THE MALFUNCTION MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL!! IT SHOULD BE CLEAR THAT THE PROBLEM IS SYSTEMATIC, NOT DATE OR LOCATION SPECIFIC!! THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED AT CHRYSLER'S EXPENSE, NOT THE CUSTOMER!!! *TR

Summary

VEHICLE CRANKS JUST FINE, BUT I CANNOT SHIFT IT FROM 'PARK' INTO ANY OTHER GEAR - IT IS LOCKED IN 'PARK'. INTERNET SEARCHES IDENTIFY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL CHRYSLER VEHICLES; THE PROBLEM IS A CHEAP, PLASTIC, "PINK" SHIFT INTERLOCK MECHANISM THAT BREAKS. ALTHOUGH APPARENTLY COMMON, CHRYSLER HAS NOT INITIATED A RECALL FOR THIS PART. I TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGERS AT TWO DIFFERENT REGIONAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS AND THEN CALLED THE CHRYSLER '800' NUMBER TO COMPLAIN. THEY ALL TOLD ME THE SAME THING - I AM ON MY OWN IN REPAIRING THIS PART; IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY NOR RECALL. HOWEVER, MY SMALL TOWN SERVICE MANAGER SAYS HE FIXES 2-3 OF THESE CHRYSLER PROBLEMS EVERY WEEK (AT OWNERS EXPENSE SINCE THEY CAN'T TAKE IT THE 30 MILES TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP), AND HE IS SURE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART. HE REPLACES THE BROKEN SHIFT INTERLOCK MECHANISM WITH THE REDESIGNED CHRYSLER PART! CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO INITIATE A RECALL ON THIS PART AND TO REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE PART REPAIRED AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

THERE IS ALSO A DANGEROUS PAUSE/DELAY THAT OCCURS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. ONCE THE TRANSMISSION CATCH, IT MAKES THE CAR LUNGE IN EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT DEPENDING ON DIRECTION OF FRONT TIRES. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THE 300 HEMI DOES THAT WITH THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE POWER OF THE ENGINE AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AND NOT THE OWNER. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DURING COLD WINTER DAY (20 DEGREES OR BELOW) WHEN THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND A FEW SECONDS LATER RE-BOOTED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO DO SO DURING THE DRIVE HOME AND DURING THE NEXT WEEK UNTIL I COULD GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNSURE OF THE ISSUE. SHOWED THEM A VIDEO THAT WAS TAKEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE YOUR CAR TOTALLY SHUT DOWN WHILE GOING 70 MPH). THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH -- NOT WARRANTIED, $300 REPAIR. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY YEAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 2012 (WEATHER IN REGION WAS WARMER AND DIDN'T MEET CONDITIONS AS PREVIOUS YEARS). NOW IT'S 2013 AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED DURING A RECENT BLIZZARD. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEIR HANDS ARE TIED, BUT I THINK THIS IS A CHRYSLER DEFECTIVE PART ISSUE. SOMETHING IN VERY COLD WEATHER IS CAUSING THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO SHUT DOWN, WHICH COULD CAUSE A DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE ISSUE FROM A RECENT COMMUTE, AS WELL AS THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE ON-GOING ISSUE STARTING BACK IN 2010. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED ON 2/21/2013 WITH THE DETAILS.

Summary

I WENT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ONE DAY AND IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I DID CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING. THE REPORTED ISSUE IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK SPRING BREAKS RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE BEING STUCK IN PARK. I FOUND A TEMPORARY BYPASS METHOD UNTIL I COULD GET IT REPAIRED. ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBLE RECALL: CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39. I CALLED CHRYSLER RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THEY ADVISED THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES, MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL GROUP, THEREFORE I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. I ALSO SEARCHED ON THIS WEBSITE, AND FOUND ANOTHER REPORT OF THE SAME TYPE: ODI ID NUMBER : 10470372. IT IS QUITE DISSATISFIED THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF WHEN THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND BASED ON MY INTERNET RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD, COMMON PROBLEM. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THIS HAPPENED AT MY HOUSE WHERE I HAD ACCESS TO THE INTERNET TO RESEARCH AND LOCATE A BYPASS AND HAD TOOLS AVAILABLE TO DISMANTLE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY TO ACCESS THE BYPASS. THIS COULD CAUSE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF SOMEBODY WERE TO GET STUCK IN A BAD LOCATION AND HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK OR SOME OTHER METHOD OF HELP TO ARRIVE. *TR

I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND STOPPED AT A PARKING LOT, AND WHEN I STARTED TO LEAVE MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE SHIFTER BREAKS THE CAR MUST BE TOWED FOR REPAIR. JUST AFTER I CALLED THE WRECKER A PICK-UP IN THE SAME PARKING LOT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE BUSINESS TRIED TO EVACUATE THE PARKING LOT, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO LEAVE UNTIL THE WRECKER ARRIVED. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE BURNING PICK-UP THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY CAR, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DIFFERENT STORY IF I WAS PARKED NEXT TO THE PICK-UP. THE DEALER OVER-NIGHTED THE PART FROM TULSA OKLAHOMA AND REPLACED THE PART THE NEXT MORNING. WE WERE CHARGED FOR TOWING AND REPAIR. SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SHIFTER BREAKING, I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM, THUS WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED. *TR

Summary

I'VE NOTICED WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE THERE IS A NOTICEABLE DELAY. IT ALSO OCCURS WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND VISE-VERSA, THERE'S IS ALSO A PAUSE/DELAY THAT OCCURS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. NOTICEABLE WHEN TRYING TO ATTEMPT A U-TURN AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE WAITING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO CATCH. ONCE IT DOES CATCH THERE'S A INSTANT LUNGE/ACCELERATION, CAUSING EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE WHIP FLASH AND HAS CAUSED ME TO BE EXTRA VIGILANT. ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR SOME TIME I DIDN'T KNOW THE ISSUE WAS SO WIDE SPREAD. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR. UNTIL THIS HAZARD/DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED I WILL NOT CONSIDER CHRYSLER FOR MY NEXT PURCHASE. *JS

I JUST PURCHASED MY CAR IN LATE APRIL IT IS NOW NOVEMBER. I DIDN'T NOTICE THE BRAKE PROBLEM WHICH IS A VIBRATION WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, UNTIL A WEEK AFTER. I FIGURED I PROBABLY NEED NEW BRAKE PADS. ONE OF MY LEAST CONCERNS. BUT LAST MONTH I BEGAN TO SMELL GAS. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME OR THE LOCATION I WAS AT. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THERE'S WAS NO LEAK. I KEPT DOING THIS WHEN I SMELLED GAS AND NOTHING. LAST NIGHT NOVEMBER 6 2011, I FILLED UP MY TANK TO GO OUT OF TOWN. WHEN I WAS LEAVING TO GO BACK HOME FROM THE LONG RIDE, THE PARKING AREA SMELLED LIKE GAS! IT WAS LEAKING FROM MY CAR! ABOUT A QUARTER OF GAS LEAKED. THIS TIME I SAW A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND WHERE THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WOULD BE. NOT ONLY WAS THIS EMBARRASSING BUT I HAD MY WIFE AND CHILD WITH ME IN THE CAR THAT I HAD TO TAKE HOME SMELLING THIS AS WELL AS TAKING THE RISK OF BLOWING UP! WE DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER WAY OF GETTING HOME, THAT'S WHY I HAD NO CHOICE AND TOOK THE RISK. THANK GOD WE GOT HOME SAFE. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS. *TR

Summary

MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300C HAS A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I RECEIVED THE DOCUMENT LISTING THE PARTS COVERED FOR THE LIFETIME WARRANTY. MY ABS, ESP AND TCS LIGHTS CAME ON. THE RIGHT REAR SPEED SENSOR WENT BAD. I CALLED GRAVEN AND SET UP APPOINTMENT FOR WARRANTY WORK. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO GRAVEN CHRYSLER, 10-10-11 AT APPROX. 2:30PM. GRAVEN CHRYSLER CALLED THE NEXT MORNING, 10-11-11 7:53AM MY CAR WAS READY. GRAVEN SAID IT WAS GOING TO COST $135. I SAID THAT THE WORK WAS WARRANTY. GRAVEN SAID IT WASN'T WARRANTY WORK BECAUSE PART NUMBER DOESN'T COME BACK AS WARRANTY. I EXPLAINED TO THE ASSISTANT THAT IT IS WARRANTY, THAT MY CAR HAS A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. SHE SAID THAT ONLY COVERS THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND DRIVELINE. I SAID IT ALSO COVERS A LOT OF OTHER PARTS WHICH I HAVE A LIST OF. SHE THEN SAID, YOU WILL HAVE TO TALK WITH CHRYSLER AND THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO. CHRYSLER SAID I HAVE TO PAY A $50.00 CO-PAY. I SAID WHY SHOULD I PAY A CO-PAY WHEN THIS PART HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD I CAN PAY THE $50.00 OR $185. I SAID THAT I WAS TOLD IT WAS $135. I SAID FOR NOW I WILL PAY THE $50.00 BUT WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT FOR THE WARRANTY AND GETTING MY $50.00 BACK. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHRYSLER. I WAS ASKED HOW MY CAR WAS RUNNING. I SAID IT DROVE HOME OK. SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD CLOSE THE CASE THEN.

SHE SAID THAT I COULD CALL GRAVEN CHRYSLER BACK AND TRY AND GET THEM TO EXCEPT IT.

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER 300 C. FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM DOING. IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. IT TAKES ME PULLING OFF THE ROAD IF I CAN, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT. RECENTLY I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER FOR I THINK THE THIRD TIME AND THEY REPLACED THE ECU. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS AND YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING IN INTERSTATE DRIVING WHEN IT SHUT DOWN DOING 70 MILES HOUR. BARELY AVOIDING A SEMI FROM RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. IT HAPPENED TWICE WITH IN A 500 MILE DRIVE. VERY DANGEROUS. ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO IT HAPPENED ON A SIDE STREET AND I PULLED OVER AND IT STARTED UP FINE. WROTE IT OFF AND WENT ON. THIS IS VERY BAD. I AM GOING BACK TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND FIND OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE. NO WARNING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT SEEMS CHRYSLER HAS NO ANSWER BUT TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER. *TR

A FEW DAYS AGO MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300 WAS STUCK IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOPPING CENTER LOT ON A HOT AZ DAY. THE TOW TRUCK SAID THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM HE GETS CALLS FOR MOST WITH CHRYSLERS. HE SAID THAT HE CARRIES A SPECIAL TOOL TO GET THEM OUT OF PARK. HE SAID IT IS A LITTLE PLASTIC PINK PIECE THAT BREAKS. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY NEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. WHEN RESEARCHING IT ON THE INTERNET I TYPED IN GOOGLE CHRYSLER 300 AND THE FIRST THING THAT POPPED UP WAS "CHRYSLER 300 STUCK IN PARK" IN THE SEARCH ENGINE. THE CASHIER STATED IT HAPPENS FAR TO MUCH AND SHE WISHED CHRYSLER WOULD DO A RECALL. IT WAS THREE HUNDRED AND SOME ODD DOLLARS TO REPAIR SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY PUT IN A NEW GEAR SHIFTER WITH THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE. THEY CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE. THEY TOLD ME THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS.

WHENEVER THE CAR (2007 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING) IS PUT INTO "PARK" WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED TO HOLD THE CAR IN PLACE, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER GEAR SELECTION WHEN RESTARTING THE CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO MOVE IT. WHILE I KNOW IT IS GOOD DRIVING PRACTICE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN PARKED, IT IS A MUST IN THIS VEHICLE OR THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE. THE PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED A REPAIR, BUT RELIGIOUSLY APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE ONLY AFTER SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL THE CAR SETTLES, THEN PUTTING IT INTO "PARK." *TR

Summary

2007 CHRYSLER 300 WITH 43,684. PROBLEM FUEL CAP LEAKING. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP GALENA CHRYSLER WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPAIR. CALL CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS(REF# 19582516) SAID NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT TO GALENA CHRYSLER IN FORT MYERS FL. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ONE YEAR AGO TO THE DAY, SAME DEALERSHIP, SAID NOTHING WRONG. I THINK FUEL AND VAPORS HAVE BEEN LEAKING FOR OVER A YEAR WITH THIS CAR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. I KNOW IT MUST BE A PROBLEM, BECAUSE NO ONE FROM CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS CALLED ME BACK OR EMAIL. AFTER 4 DAYS IN THE SHOP I JUST HAD TO PAY FOR IT. NO MATTER HOW OLD THE CAR SAFETY PROBLEMS MUST BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HOW ME PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE UNTIL WE ADDRESS THE PROBLEM? *TR

CAR SHIFTER LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT GET VEHICLE OUT OF "PARK", AFTER TRYING REALLY HARD TO PUT IT INTO DRIVE, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SHIFTER TO CHANGE TO "DRIVE, BUT WHEN I GOT HOME I HAD TO PUT EXTRA PRESSURE ON THE SHIFTER TO GET TO PARK. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BECAUSE THE CAR COULD ROLL BY ITSELF SINCE IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO PLACE THE SHIFTER IN PARK. *TR

Summary

WE HAD PURCHASED A CHRSYLER 300 IN JAN 20,2007 WE GOT THE CAR WITH ONLY 42 MILES ON THE CAR SINCE 2007 THE CAR HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP OF THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES. IN MAY OF 2007 WE TOOK THE CAR IN CAUSE THE A/C WAS NOT COOLING AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT WE NEEDED A BRAND NEW A/C COMPRESSOR SO WE SAID OK BUT WHEN THEY FIXED IT WE HAD TO PAY 650 DOLLARS CAUSE OUR WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT SO WE SAID WHAT ABOUT THE FACTORY WARRANTY THEY SAID NO ALSO SO THAT ONE WAS TIME. SECOND ONE WAS IN 2008 SHIFTER CABLE BUSTED AND THE DEALER SHIP TOLD US THAT THE CABLE GOT HOT AND IT BUSTED OK WE DIDN'T PAY FOR THAT BUT WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE NEW SHIFTER THEY INSTALLED CAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE SHIFTER WAS BROKEN I THINK THEY BROKE IT CAUSE IT WAS FIND WHEN WE HAD IT. THIRD ONE WAS IN 2009 THE CARS COMPUTER WENT OUT AND THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHY BUT THAT IT HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE SO WE JUST PAID OUR DEDUCTIBLE SO I WAS OK WITH THAT. SO I REMEMBER TELLING MY WIFE LETS SEE WHAT GOES WRONG WITH THE CAR IN 2010. BUT THIS WAS THE WORST COMING HOME FROM DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND THE BRAKES LOCK IN PLACE BUT LUCKY I WAS ALONE AND NOT WITH MY FAMILY. SO I CALLED A WRECKER TO GIVE ME A BOOST BUT THEY COULDN'T START THE CAR SO WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP COMES TO FIND OUT WE HAVE A BLOWN MOTOR AND THEY SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY NOT DOING OIL CHANGES HOW AN THAT BE IF WE BRING IT HERE TO GET THE OIL CHANGES SO HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY BUT IM ALREADY 61000 MILES AND MY WARRANTY PEOPLE OLD REPUBLIC DON'T WANT TO FIX SO WE SAW THE MOTOR AND IT WAS CRACKED IN HALF SO OUR FAMILY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE METAL SHAVINGS WAS DUE TO THE OIL PUMP WENT BAD SO NOBODY WANTS TO FIX BUT IT WOULD COST ABOUT 8000 DOLLARS FOR A NEW MOTOR SO PEOPLE CAREFUL ON WHAT U BUY. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CHRYSLER 300 BRAND NEW FROM DEALER IN AUGUST 2007. MY FIRST NEW CAR. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER ARE THE PROBLEM. FROM DAY ONE THERE IS INTERMITTANT ":CLUNKING" WHEN IT SHIFTS. PARK TO REVERSE. DRIVE TO PARK. BUT THE SCARY ONE IS WHEN I'M DRIVING, A FEW TIMES A WEEK, SOMETIMES MORE THAN A FEW TIMES A DAY IT JUMPS, REALLY LURCHES. ENOUGH THAT AT 40 MPH, YOUR HEAD GETS A GOOD JOLT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO DEALER THREE TIMES. THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WAS BETTER FOR A WHILE, NOW GETTING WORSE SO IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE, CITY AND HIGHWAY. BASICALLY, THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID BECAUSE IT'S INTERMITTANT. SO I HAD THEM KEEP IT AND DRIVE HOME THEMSELVES. BUT IT HAPPENED ONLY ONCE TO THEM. WELL, I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. BUT I WISH THEY WOULD AT LEAST GIVE ME SOMETHING BACK FOR PAYING FULL PRICE FOR A DEFECTED CAR. THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME ANOTHER CAR THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING, AND I WAS VERY SCARED. I SLOWED TO ABOUT 40 MPH, AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT LANE. I STILL DID NOT FEEL SAFE, AND, GIVEN THE VEHICLE HISTORY AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE A NEWBORN AT HOME, I DECIDED TO PULL OVER AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED. WHEN I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE ON 07/23/07 THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE ADJUSTED, IT WAS POSITIONED AT 10 O'CLOCK. ON 09/20/07, WITH 2163 MILES, THE CAR PULLED, AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE REPOSITIONED, AND THE FRONT END WAS ALIGNED. ON 11/28/07 WITH 5130 MILES, AGAIN THE CAR PULLED, AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE ADJUSTED, AND AGAIN THE FRONT END WAS ALIGNED. ON 01/25/08 WITH 6863 MILES, YET AGAIN THE CAR WAS PULLING. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE "CRADLE NEEDED TO BE SHIFTED" AND THEY ADJUSTED THE CRADLE. PER THE REP, DEALER REPLACED 2 FRONT TIRES, DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR. ON 06/26/09, WITH 29002 MILES, ONCE AGAIN THE CAR WAS PULLING. DEALER FOUND "PLAY IN INNER TIE/RODS", REPLACED STEERING RACK, AND ALIGNED. I REQUESTED 2 MORE TIRES DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR, I WAS TOLD TIRES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.

Summary

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. I BOUGHT IT USED ON 6/14/08. WITHIN A MONTH THAT I BOUGHT IT, THE CAR STALLED ON ME. A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP/GARAGE WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING MAJOR EXCEPT THE THROTTLE HAD BUILT IN DEBRIS. EVER SINCE THAT TIME, THE CAR HAS NOT RAN SMOOTHLY. MOST OF THE TIMES, THE CAR FEELS THAT IT LOSES ENERGY/POWER WHEN I START TO DRIVE IT (LIKE WHEN I START THE ENGINE AND START DRIVING). IT ALSO MAKES A NOISE WHEN IT NEEDS TO "SHIFT" TO THE NEXT POWER (IT IS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). IN 6/09-7/09, MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, WHICH THE GARAGE THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THAT CAN REPAIR ANY TYPE OF EMISSION ISSUES NEEDED TO REPLACE A VALVE AND THEN THE LIGHT DID NOT TURN ON ANYMORE. EVEN AFTER THIS REPAIR, THE CAR CONTINUES TO FEEL LIKE IF IT LOSES POWER. I HAVE REGULAR OIL CHANGES DONE SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. I FEEL THAT THERE CAN BE SOME MANUFACTURE DEFECT; HOWEVER, SINCE I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUES TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, THEY SEEM NOT TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS. *TR

I GOT ONLINE TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS MATTER AND THERE WAS NOT; HOWEVER, WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, I NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND BLOGS ABOUT THESE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FROM 2005 TO CURRENT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER. TODAY, MONDAY, JULY 6, 2009 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENTIRE GIFT SHIFT ASSEMBLY WAS BUSTED. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A CRAPPY DESIGN AND CHRYSLER HAS SINCE MADE A LITTLE BETTER DESIGN SHIFT GEAR THAN THE ONE THAT IS IN MY VEHICLE NOW. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLING THESE SHIFT GEAR AND REPLACE WITH THE "MORE IMPROVED" DESIGN. *TR

Summary

VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE A FAULTY ESP (ASSUME IT STOOD FOR EMERGENCY SKID PROTECTION) OR ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. THE CAR WILL SLID ON MINOR DOWNWARD SLOPS WHEN SNOW IS ON THE GROUND EVEN WHEN MOVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED (10-20MPH). IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MUCH SNOW ON THE GROUND EITHER FOR THIS TO OCCUR. IT OCCURS ALSO RATHER THE ESP FEATURE IS ON OR OFF. THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PUMPING THEMSELVES AND HAVE A GRINDING SOUND WHEN PRESSED ON. I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR FROM SLIDING OR SHIFTING. IT ONCE SLID INTO AN INTERSECTION. ANOTHER TIME DURING A SLIDE ON A VERY MINOR SLOP, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BEING AT LEAST 2-3 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF ME, I WOULD HAVE SLID RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO KEYSTONE CHRYSLER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS ON IT BUT INDICATED THAT NOTHING SHOWED UP. HOWEVER, THEY REFUSE TO ACTUALLY DRIVE THE CAR IN SNOW CONDITIONS TO SEE WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING AND IS REPORTING. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE AND EXTREMELY FEARFUL TO DRIVE THE CAR ANY LONGER IN SNOW LIKE CONDITIONS. I HAVE A TRUCK WHICH I DRIVE THE MAJORITY OF THE WINTER MONTHS WHICH IS WHY THIS WAS NOT DETECTED SOONER. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR SHIFTS WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPS IN THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GOING IN A DOWNWARD DIRECTION AND BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. THIS OCCURS DURING WET OR DRY CONDITIONS. *TR

I JUST SPOKE TO THE SERVICE REP AND HE SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. THIS CAR IS A REAL HAZARD AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR

Summary

I PURCHASE A CHRYSLER 300C IN APRIL 2007, NEW FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. CONTINENTAL SELF SEALING TIRES CAME WITH VEHICLE. A 1"NAIL, HEAD DIAMETER 2/16", PUNCTURED TIRE. TOOK VEHICLE TO TIRE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT AFTER REMOVAL OF NAIL , TIRE DID NOT HOLD PRESSURE, WAS ADVISED TO NOTIFY DEALER FOR CREDIT ON TIRE. DEALER ADVISED ME SINCE TIRE DID NOT HOLD PRESSURE, THERE WAS NO WARRANTY OR CREDIT ON REMAINING TREAD, I WAS ADVISED TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. TIRES HAVE 18,000 MILES ON THEM. ALSO WAS ADVISED THAT THE SELF SEALING TIRE IS NOT BEING MANUFACTURED ANY MORE, AND ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND. I AM A VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER AT THIS POINT AND DO NOT LOOK FORWARD TO PURCHASING A NEW TIRE. OBVIOUSLY YOUR SELF-SEALING TIRES WORK MINIMALLY AT BEST. MIGHT THAT BE THE REASON THEY ARE BEING REMOVED, AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE. I WAS ADVISED IT MAY TAKE UP TO 3 WKS TO FIND A LIKE TIRE. IS THERE A REFUND OR CREDIT ON MY TIRE? YES, I READ THE WARRANTY. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU, W. POHLER *TR

Summary

MY HUSBAND IS IN THE MILITARY, THEREFORE WE ARE STATIONED IN NEW ORLEANS, LA. ON MAY 25, 2008 WE HAD A TERRIBLE RAIN STORM IN THE CITY. WE LIVE IN BASE HOUSING SO WE PARK OUR VEHICLES IN A PARKING LOT. AT ABOUT 5:00P.M. THE END OF THE PARKING LOT WERE MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED WAS PARKED BEGIN TO FLOOD WITH WATER. MY HUSBAND WENT OUT TO MOVE THE CAR FROM THE BEFORE THE WATER GOT TO HIGH. AT THIS TIME THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3 INCHES OF WATER ON THE GROUND. HE BACKED THE CAR OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE TO MOVE IT. ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS WAS COMING THE PARKING LOT AT THE TIME AND FORCED MY HUSBAND TO DRIVE OUT INTO THE STREET AND RE-ENTER THE PARKING LOT. AS HE DROVE OUT INTO THE STREET, I NOTICED THAT HE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. I WENT OUT TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND HE TOLD ME THE CAR SHUT-OFF. A COUPLE OF OUR NEIGHBORS HELPED HIM PUSH IT OUT OF THE STREET INTO THE PARKING LOT. NOT SURE WHAT WAS WRONG WE CALLED OUT INSURANCE AND THEY SENT OUT A TOW TRUCK TO GET THE VEHICLE AND TAKE IT TO A NEAR BY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ON FRIDAY TO LET US KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE SUCKED UP WATER THROUGH THE AIR INTAKE AND HD=YDROLOCKED THE ENGINE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH WE FOUND OUT THE AIR INTAKE FOR THIS CAR, AND ITS COUNTERPARTS THE DODGE CHARGER AND MAGNUM, ARE LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT BUMPER APPROXIMATELY 20IN. ABOVE THE GROUND. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN AMAZED HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM IS POORLY DESIGNED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS DESIGN FLAW AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEMS IT IS CAUSING. I WATCHED NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES DRIVE DOWN THAT STREET THAT DAY, SOME AT A MUCH FASTER RATE THAN MY HUSBAND, AND THEY HAD NO PROBLEMS. THIS IS REALLY A BAD DESIGN. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL ALL 2006 AND 2007 CHRYSLER 300, DODGE MAGNUM AND DODGE CHARGER. OUR INSURANCE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR A POORLY DESIGNED SYSTEM. I HOPE TO HERE FROM CHRYSLER SOON! *TR

I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON 06/11/07 AND IT TOOK UNTIL 6/21/07 TO GET IT BACK. THE FRONT END VIBRATION WAS CAUSED BY A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER, HOWEVER ONCE DRIVING MY VEHICLE I NOTICED THE ROUGH IDLE HADN'T BEEN REPAIRED. THEN ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP ACCELERATING TO GET UP TO SPEED, WHEN THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE GOING FROM 1ST TO SECOND GEAR THE ENGINE JUST WINES AND IT TAKES APPROX 10-15 SECONDS TO KICK INTO GEAR, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. I TURNED IT BACK IN FOR SERVICE ON 6/3/07 AND AS OF TODAY THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
