2012 Chrysler 300 4 DR AWD

Car will shut off in mid drive with no notice. I took it to the dealership multiple times and spent over $3,000 in repairs they still haven’t fixed the problem. I’m scared I will get into a accident or worse because this problem Continuously happens it has happened on the highway it happens on the street. I don’t know what else to do the dealership does not know what the problem is.

2012 CHRYSLER 300. CONSUMER WRTIES IN REGARDS TO PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR SAFETY RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS DIFFICULTY FINDING A GM DEALERSHIP TO COMPLETE THE RECALLS.

2012 CHRYSLER 300. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR SAFETY RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD TWO (2) PENDING RECALLS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A DEALER TO COMPLETE THE RECALLS.

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 300. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 mph, the vehicle loss motive power. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was unable to be restarted and was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Airbag light comes back on after recall repair was made in 2019, passenger airbag light illuminates consistent at start of engine.

Gas smell coming from the tank or a fuel pump when gas is full. Hairline crack in fuel pump/tank causing horrible smell inside car cabin and exterior.

THE AC HAS BEEN REPAIR ALREADY FOR THROWING HOT AIR ON ONE SIDE AND COLD ON THE OTHER THIS WAS DONE THROUGH THE DEALER NOW THE AC IS STARTING TO DO IT AGAIN AS WELL AS WHISTLING EVERY THING FROM REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE BY DEALER THROUGH WARRANTY

MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, AND I NOTICE IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER MOVES THE SEAT

FUEL IS COMING OUT OF THE HAS TANK. IT COMES OUT FROM WHERE THE HAS PUMP IS.

IN 2018, THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED WAS ACTING INTERMITTENT. I WOULD PRESS THE BUTTON IT WOULD WORK AND SOMETIMES NOT. I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY HEMET CA. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE CC SWITCH. NOW, 2 YRS. LATTER IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN...I TRIED IT A FEW TIMES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY/IN-CITY AND IT DIDN'T WORK. LATER ON OUR WAY HOME, I TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT WORKED. I'M STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IT COSTS ME $100 EVERY TIME I BRING THE CAR IN FOR A WARRANTY REPAIR; HOPEFULLY WHEN I BRING IT IN THIS TIME, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO FIX, THEY WON'T CHARGE ME...R/JOHN...

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF WHEN SITTING/NOT SITTING ON PASSENGER SEAT. APPEARS THE SEATS CONNECTION TO AIRBAG IS FAULTY. NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP PREVIOUSLY (SOON AFTER PURCHASED) THEY SAID SOMETHING WAS UNDER THE SEAT MESSING WITH AIRBAG CABLES. NOW LIGHT APPEARS WHEN NOTHING IS UNDER THE SEAT. LIGHT COMES AND GOES BUT MOSTLY STAYS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND SITTING IN CAR WHILE WARMING UP. AFRAID AIRBAGS MIGHT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF FAULTY WIRING IN SEAT.*DT*JB*DT*JB

THERE'S A SCRUBBING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING. THERE'S POWER STEERING FLUID IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

IT CAUGHT ON FIRE AN BURNED THE ALTERNATOR OUT AN ALSO THE MAIN HARNESS TO THE VEHICLE

I GOT IN ONE DAY AND MY POWER STEERING WAS GONE AND I HAD TO GO WORK AND ON MY WAY TO WORK IT CAME ON AND BACK OFF MAKING ME LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR

THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT WORK DESPITE HAVING BEEN TAKING INTO THE DEALER THREE (3) TIMES FOR DIAGNOSIS /SERVICING SINCE APPROXIMATELY NOV, 2018. THE DEALER EVEN HAD IT FOR 10 DAYS WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION DURING XMAS, 2019 AND SUPPOSEDLY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM DURING THE "SEVERAL" TIMES THEY TRIED. IN REALLY SLICK, SNOWY CONDITIONS, THE SERVICE AWD LIGHT WILL COME ON, BUT ONCE I'VE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, IT DOESN'T COME ON AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT SLICK, SNOWY EVENT. THE DEALER'S ONLY SUGGESTION IS NEW TIRES WHICH DOESN'T HELP IF THE FRONT TIRES WON'T ENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO DRIVE. WHEN THE AWD ISSUE OCCURS, THE VEHICLE IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO STOP WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND DIFFICULT TO START WHEN TAKING OFF. PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS, THEN STAYED OFF FOR 1-2 DAYS. NOW IT STAYS ON CONSISTENTLY (WHETHER IN PARK OR DRIVE). THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONSISTENTLY SINCE FEB, 2020. THIS WAS TAKEN IN AND REPAIRED FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL IN APPROXIMATELY JAN, 2019

THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING NO DASH WARNING AT ALL

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A BUSY STREET IN ATLANTA. I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I TRIED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE WAS REEVING UP HIGH BUT THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING. IT ALSO WOULD NOT LET ME PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE ON MY TRIP. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE'S THERMOSTAT RAN HOT. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE THERMOSTAT WOULD RESET TO NORMAL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE THERMOSTAT WAS REPLACED, BUT NO ERROR CODES COULD BE FOUND REGARDING THE ETC. DESPITE THE THERMOSTAT REPLACEMENT, THE FAILURES PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR DURING A STOPLIGHT IT SUDDENLY STALLED AND DIED. MY GEAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR BUT IT WASNT ABLE TO START IT JUS KEPT MAKING A CLICKING SOUND LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO START BUT COULDNT AND LAST FOR 30 SECS. I WASNT ABLE TO PUT THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. SO IN WAS STALLED OK THE ROAD. AFTER TRYING TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I JUST GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEM REPLACING MY WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT TWICE 1 YEAR APART. NOW IT'S BACK AT THE SHOP AND I HAVE TO PAY 140 TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT AFTER SPENDING 1200. I CHECKED MY WARRANTY AND SERVICE CONTRACT AND THEY ALL EXPIRED.

MY CAR STARTED SMOKING WITH BLACK SMOKE. THE CAR STARTED OVERHEATING. WE OPENED UP THE HOOD AND THE WATER PUMP LOOKED LIKE IT EXPLODED BECAUSE THE ANTIFREEZE WAS EVERYWHERE. I TOOK MY CAR IN TWICE 1 YEAR APART FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS REPLACED WITH AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I'M WONDERING IF THE USE OF AFTERMARKET IS BREAKING MY CAR APART. NOW I'M HAVING A ENGINE ISSUE.

I RECENTLY RAN INTO SOME MECHANICAL ISSUES THAT HAVE CONCERNED ME. I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE OCTOBER 9TH 2019 ON THE HIGHWAY WITH AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 70MPH 'SPEED LIMIT' AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE VEHICLE CUT OFF WHILE STILL IN MOTION. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY INDICATION THAT I WAS HAVING ANY ISSUES MECHANICALLY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER 15-20 MINUTES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND A FEW PHONE CALLS TO A TOWING COMPANY I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I CONTACTED THE NEAREST DEALER TO ME 'ROCKY MOUNT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT, LOCATED AT 1340 S WESLEYAN BLVD, ROCKY MOUNT, NC 27803 AT PHONE NUMBER 252-977-1340'. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER MY VEHICLE HAD ALREADY HAD THE RECALL FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR COMPLETED AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY PROBLEMS. THIS WAS EVEN AFTER STATING THE ISSUE WHICH I CAUSED ME TO BE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BELIEVING THE RECALL ACTUALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME THEN WHY AM I NOW/STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS LISTED WITH THE RECALL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR.

WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL MOTOR IS HEARD SPINNING, SQUEAK/RUBBING NOISE WHEN I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED OR MOVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A SECOND VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECENTLY RECURRED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.*DT*JB

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY MY CAR BEGAN TO HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTS BLINKING AND DISPLAY GOING IN AND OUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD THREE CHILDREN ALL UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE.AFTER HAVING IT TOWED AND INSPECTED A REFURBISHED ALTERNATOR WAS PUT IN DUE TO A RECALL (NEW ONES WERE ON BACK ORDER). LAST WEEK MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I COULDN'T MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALI. I CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO SEND ASSISTANCE TO NO AVAIL. I REPLACED THE POWER STEERING FUSE THE NEXT DAY AND AFTER DROPPING MY SON OFF TO SCHOOL, IT WENT OUT AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY, I HAD PURCHASED EXTRA FUSES IN THE EVENT IT WENT OUT AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE WORK BEFORE, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD FIX THAT PROBLEM WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP BECAUSE ITS ELECTRICAL. HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO OPERATE THE CAR WHILE YOU ARE OPERATING IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN ABOARD.

ENGINE FIRST STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE THEN AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS , ENGINE MADE A LOUD CRACKING NOISE , THEN A PRESENTENCE CONSTANCE KNOCK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON HAD THE CODE CHECKED CAME UP AS A MISFIRE ON THE #1 CYLINDER. HAD A TUNE UP DONE KNOCK GOT WORSE . WAS INFORMED BY A MECHANIC OF THE POSSIBILITY OF A TIMING CHAIN / CAMSHAFT PROBLEM CALLED CHRYSLER WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL P01 DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VIN , MY VEHICLE IS A CANADIAN MANUFACTURED CAR

BACK UP CAMERA IMAGE IS REVERSED. WHEN BACKING UP WHAT IS ON MY RIGHT SHOWS UP AS BEING ON MY LEFT .

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A GLASS REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE WINDSHIELD GLASS WAS SEPARATING.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (70MPH), THE OIL PRESSURE SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM A NORMAL 55+PSI TO ABOUT 15PSI AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO VIBRATE BAD AND RUN ERADICALLY. SLOWING DOWN AND STOPPING, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL MAKING IT MUCH, MUCH HARDER TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND SLOW DOWN DUE TO THE LACK OF VACUUM CREATED BY THE ENGINE TO ASSIST WITH THE POWER BRAKES AND RPM'S NEEDED TO PROVIDE POWER STEERING ASSIST. OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO ABOUT 5PSI AT IDLE. NO KNOCKING SOUND FROM THE LOWER END OF THE ENGINE, JUST VALVETRAIN TAPPING/TICKING. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TOWED. THIS IS A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE-WELL UNDER 100K MILES AND DOCUMENTED CARE. THERE ARE MANY, MANY HEMI EQUIPPED VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND AT DEALERSHIPS THAT HAVE THESE RELATED TIMING CHAINS BREAKING / TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS BREAKING AND FAILING, CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS GRINDING THEMSELVES AWAY BUT, VERY FEW ARE REPORTED AS EITHER TSB'S OR RECALLS. THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DEADLY AND DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY!!! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!

DRIVER SIDE TRIANGLE BLIND SPOT DETECTOR STAYS ON. WHEN IT STAYS ON IT'S NOT DOING WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO.

5.7 HEMI DEFECTIVE LIFTER. THE 2012 5.7 HEMIS USED DEFECTIVE LIFTERS, HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE LIFTERS FAILING CAN BE FOUND ON DODGE FORUMS ACROSS THE INTERNET. WHAT HAPPENS, IS THE ROLLER ON THE LIFTER THAT ROLLS ALONG THE CAMSHAFT IS PRONE TO LOCKING UP, IT THEN GRINDS INTO THE CAMSHAFT. THIS CAN LEAD TO MISFIRES AND CAUSE METAL FLAKES TO CIRCULATE THROUGH THE ENGINE VIA OIL. IF LEFT UNCHECKED, IT MAY ALSO LEAD TO A TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON ALL CHRYSLER PRODUCTS THAT HAVE A 5.7L, DURANGO, CHARGER, CHALLENGER, RAM, AND JEEP AND FROM MY RESEARCH, I SEE THE BULK OF THESE FAILURES HAPPENING BETWEEN 80000 AND 120000 MILES, LIFTERS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING THAT SOON. IN MY CASE, AT APPROXIMATELY 160000 MILES, MAINLY HIGHWAY MILES, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, I SCANNED THE VEHICLE, IT WAS THROWING A CYLINDER 5 MISFIRE CODE, SO I STARTED SMALL. FIRST I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, I THEN TRIED SWAPPING IGNITION COILS TO SEE IF THE CODE WOULD FOLLOW THE IGNITION COIL, IT DID NOT. I THEN TESTED MY FUEL SYSTEM, THE PUMP, THE FUEL RAILS, AND THE INJECTORS, ALL WERE WORKING NORMALLY. FOR ONE LAST EFFORT, I CHECKED MY AIR FLOW SYSTEM, THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR, THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR, THE MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR, AND OF COURSE THE AIR FILTER. ALL WERE WORKING NORMALLY. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A DODGE DEALER, THEY TORE THE ENGINE DOWN AND FOUND THAT THE LIFTERS WERE FAILING, AFTER $2,000 TO REPAIR THE LIFTERS, THE CODE STILL PERSISTS. I REMOVED MY VALVE COVER AND WATCHED THE LIFTERS AS A FRIEND TRIED TO CRANK THE ENGINE, THE CYLINDER 5 LIFTER IS NOT TRAVELING AS MUCH AS THE OTHERS, THIS TELLS ME THAT THE CAMSHAFT HAS BEEN DUG INTO BY THE FAULTY LIFTER THAT WAS REPLACED AND IS WHY THE NEW LIFTER IS NOT TRAVELING AS MUCH AS IT SHOULD. IT WILL COST ANOTHER TWO GRAND TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

CHRYSLER 300 2012 WENT INTO SAVER MODE COUPLE MINUTES LATER ALTERNATOR SMOKED THEN CATCHES ON MILD FIRE.

ON MAY 31, 2019 I WAS PARKING MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 IN FRONT OF A CONVENIENCE STORE.. AS I WAS ABOUT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND ENTERED THE STORE THROUGH THE PLATE GLASS WINDOW. THE VEHICLE STOPPED DUE TO AN OBJECT IN ITS WAY. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CONSTANTLY CAME ON, TWICE I HAVE PAID TO HAVE HAVE THE DRIVER SIDE AND THEY SAID THE PASSENGERS SIDE REPAIRED. IT HAS CAME ON AGAIN LAST WEEK, I CANNOT KEEP PAYING TO HAVE THE SAME THING FIXED

VERY HARD STEERING WHEN TURNING IN TIGHT RADIUS WHEN I'M DRIVING IN CITY STREETS

POWER STEERING FAILS WITH MODERATE ACCELERATION AND DOES NOT WORK UNTIL SPEED COMES BACK DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25MPH

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR OPEN SOMETIMES IT WILL LOCK AND KEEP DOOR CLOSED OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT.

THIS VEHICLE HAS VERY POOR LIGHTING OUTPUT FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. THE PROJECTOR LAMPS ARE TERRIBLE. THERE ARE NO HIGH BEAMS. THERE IS SOME TYPE OF SHUTTER THAT MOVES TO REDIRECT THE LIGHT. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE WORSE THAN THE LOW BEAMS. WORSE HEADLIGHTS I HAVE EVER HAD ON A CAR I OWNED. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT PERIOD THEN ADD SOME RAIN AND A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND IT REALLY GETS EVEN WORSE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MANY ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THESE LIGHTS ALMOST HITTING A PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES. I AVOID DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT AT ALL COSTS. I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE SO I AM STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE I GUESS. I WISH I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR AT NIGHT BEFORE I PURCHASED IT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A CHANCE IN HELL THAT I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS INDICATED SYSTEMS STARTING TO SHUT DOWN---WARNING LIGHTS FOR ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, BATTERY LOW, CHECK ENGINE, ETC. THEN "BRAKES" RED LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, AND CAR FELT LIKE BRAKES WERE ON. CAR SYSTEMS LOST ALL POWER AND CAR STALLED, AND I COULD NOT EVEN RUN THE "BLINKER" WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY LIGHTS AT ALL. I WAS ABLE TO SWING CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD JUST IN TIME BEFORE IT BASICALLY "LOCKED UP" DEAD AND IMMOVABLE. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED 2 MILES TO HOME. I HAD PREVIOUSLY CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS 4 DIFFERENT TIMES TO SCHEDULE THE 17V-435 ALTERNATOR RECALL SERVICE OVER A SEVERAL MONTH PERIOD STARTING MARCH 2018. WAS TOLD TWICE I HAD BEEN MOVED UP THE WAITING LIST FOR PARTS AND THEY WOULD CALL TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT. AS OF DATE OF ALTERNATOR FAILURE DECEMBER 13, 2018 I WAS NEVER RE-CONTACTED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING CAR IN FOR RECALL SERVICE. CAR NOW SITTING DEAD AND IMMOBILE AT MY HOME.

I HAD A RECALL PERFORMED AT THE DEALER FOR THE SHIFTER RECALL IN FOR WHICH THEY PERFORMED A REPROGRAM THAT WOULD SUPPOSEDLY KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING IF THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS OPENED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT PUT IN PARK. WELL HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER THE REPROGRAM WHENEVER THE DRIVERS DOOR IS OPENED WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND IN GEAR IT JUMPS INTO PARK WHICH IS BAD FOR THE DRIVELINE. I GUESS THAT'S HOW IT WAS RECONFIGURED. I WAS USE TO THE OLD WAY BECAUSE WHEN I PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY I ALWAYS OPEN THE DOOR TO SEE HOW CLOSE I AM TO THE EDGE OF THE DRIVEWAY. (I HAVE TO DO THIS TO LEAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR MY WIFE TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE GARAGE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR) HAVING OVER 45 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AS A TECHNICIAN AND TECHNICAL TRAINER I CAN SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE DUMBEST THINGS I HAVE SEEN. WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE WAS TO REPROGRAM IT SO THAT IF YOU OPENED THE DOOR WITH YOUR SEATBELT OFF THEN THE CAR SHOULD GO INTO PARK BECAUSE YOU COULD STEP OUT WHILE THE CAR WAS IN GEAR. YOUR NOT GETTING OUT OF THE CAR WITH YOUR SEATBELT ON SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO JUMP INTO PARK THE OTHER THING THAT HAPPENS IS WHEN YOU PLACE THE SHIFTER IN PARK AND PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T GO TO OFF IT GOES TO ACCESSORY AND YOU EITHER HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR THEN TURN IT OFF OR PUSH THE START BUTTON WITH YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO TURN THE IGNITION ON THEN BACK OFF. IT NEVER DID THIS BEFORE THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL. I WISH I NEVER TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALL. IN FACT I PROBABLY WONT TAKE MY CAR IN FOR ANY MORE RECALLS ILL TAKE MY CHANCES JUST THE WAY IT IS.

ONCE IT STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. IT ALWAYS GOES OUT. CAR RIDES FINE. JUST WONDERING IF THIS IS A FREE FIX AT DEALER.

I PUMPED A TANK OF GAS ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO. I GOT INTO THE CAR IT WAS WAS FILL WITH GAS FUMES. THE SMELL IS STRONG WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING IN PARK. I THOUGHT MAYBE SOME GAS SPILLED WHEN I REMOVED THE PUMP SO I WENT ON HOME BUT FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS I CONTINUED TO SMELL GAS SO I RINSED THE CAR OFF TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP IT DID NOT . I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN MY CITY FOR THE TO CHECKOUT THE SMELL OF GAS. PER THE INSPECTION THE WIRES TO THE RIGHT FUEL INJECTION HAD MELTED AND GAS WAS LEAKING AND THE LEFT WIRES TO THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS WERE MELTING ALSO AND IN A FEED DAYS IT WOULD BE LEAKING GAS TOO. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALL, WIRES MELTING IS NOT WARE AND TARE. THE CAR WILL CATCH FIRE IT THE WIRES AND FUEL INJECTORS ARE NOT REPLACE, SO THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT WILL CAUSE BODILY HARM AND OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER. PLEASE EVERYONE IF YOU ARE HAVING OR HAVE HAD THIS GAS LEAK REPORT THIS TO YOUR CHRYSLER CORPORATION THIS NEED TO BE HANDLED BY AS A RECALL THIS IS A MALFUNCTION THAT ACCORDED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VEHICLE, THEREFORE IT SHOULD NOT BE THE CAR OWNERS EXPENSE.

WHEN I GOT MY CAR 2 DAYS LATER IT TURNED ON THE LIGHT OF THE AIRBAG AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SINCE I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO GET BACK WITH MY CAR IN THE DEALER, I CALLED TO INFORM THE PROBLEM AND SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE TO SOLVE, SO THEY I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT EVEN HAVE A RECALL RELATED TO AIRBAGS IN MY CAR AND THAT IF MY CAR HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM NOW. AND MY CAR IS A CHRYSLER 300 2012.

TAKATA RECALL, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES RANDOMLY. HAPPENS WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY WIRE HARNESS. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL (13V118000) FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CRYSTAL CHRYSLER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE DEALER (FERMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM TAMPA, 24314 STATE ROAD 54, LUTZ, FL 33559, (813) 929-2400) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PART WAS TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING 12 MPH, SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V435000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

TAKATA RECALL. I HAD AN AIRBAG INDICATOR THAT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD OF MY VEHICLE AND I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE RECALL OF MY AIRBAG. I DID TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. AFTER THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE WAS REPAIRED I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I DID GO BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHY THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE SERVICE REP ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE INDICATOR. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND DECIDED TO DO A BIT OF RESEARCH BECAUSE I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE INDICATOR WAS STILL ON. UPON RESEARCHING THE INDICATOR LIGHT, I DID READ THAT IF THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS LIT AND I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BACK AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SERVICE MANAGER WHO ADVISED THAT THE LIGHT WAS NOT AN ISSUE THEY COULD RESOLVE UNLESS I PAID A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $120 AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW AT THAT POINT WHY IT WAS ON. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG AND THERE IS A RECALL WHY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I FEEL THAT IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN AIRBAG RECALL THAT I SHOULD HAVE LEFT THAT DEALERSHIP WITH ALL THE CONFIDENCE IN THE WORLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. YET I NOW MUST EITHER PAY OR HOPE THAT I DO NOT HAVE A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE AIRBAG HAS A RECALL. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF IT'S A MAINTENANCE INDICATOR BUT IT'S AN AIRBAG ISSUE THAT PUTS THE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE IN DANGER. I NEED TO GET SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE PUT IN JEOPARDY.

JIM STATED THAT SINCE THIS RECALL IS OVER A YEAR OLD, AND THE DEALERSHIP ONLY GETS ONE PART AT A TIME, I WOULD HAVE TO CALL IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO SEE IF THEY ARE ABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN SO THEY COULD LOOK AT MY PART NUMBER AND ORDER THE PART IF THEY DO NOT ALREADY HAVE IT ON HAND. SINCE THIS WAS NOT WHAT JIM STATED I CALLED GANELY AURORA BACK AND SPOKE TO MAT. MAT CONFIRMED WHAT THEY OTHER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME AND SAID THAT HE DID NOT KNOW WHY JIM TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND DEALERSHIPS SHOULD NOT GIVE CUSTOMERS THE RUN-A-ROUND OR KNOWINGLY PROVIDE INCORRECT INFORMATION.

RE: EXPERIENCE RECALL T36: I WAS TAKING AN EXIT OFF RAMP FROM THE HIGHWAY WHEN I COULD SMELL A BURNING SMELL. THE ABS, BATTERY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. MY SPEEDOMETER WAS MOVING UP AND DOWN, MY SCREEN STARTED BLINKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT ON ON ITS OWN AND MY CAR JUST LOCKED UP AND ALL LIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OFF. STEERING AND BRAKES WAS NOT OPERABLE. AS I CAME DOWN THE HILLED RAMP I PULLED OVER (STEERING WHEEL) WAS HARD TO STEER, HOPING AND PRAYING THAT I DIDN'T HIT THE LIGHT POLE THAT WAS APPROX. 10 FT AWAY. THANK GOD THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ABOUT 5 FT AWAY FROM THE LIGHT POLE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN THE PARK POSITION. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE TOW TRUCK GUY COULDN'T GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO TOW IT! HE HAD TO OPEN UP SOMETHING BY THE SHIFTER TO FORCE IT TO GO INTO NEUTRAL. GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME A $160 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE ALTERNATOR WHICH ALSO KILLED MY BATTERY. MY CAR WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT ABOUT 10:30AM. THE SHUTTLE SERVICE BROUGHT ME TO WORK. BY 3PM I DIDNT GET ANY PHONE CALL REGARDING THE STATUS ON MY CAR, I CALLED THEM TO CHECK. THEY SAID IT WAS THE T36 RECALL -THE ALTERNATOR IS FAULTY THAT THEY WILL TRY TO GET THE NEW ALTERNATOR COVERED WITHOUT ME HAVING TO PAY ANYTHING OUT OF POCKET. THE CAR WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. WELL TODAY IS THE NEXT DAY, THEY WILL REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR FREE OF CHARGE BUT IT'LL STILL BE A DEFECTIVE ONE BECAUSE I WILL STILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE DEALER "WHEN THEY GET THE RIGHT ALTERNATOR" AND REPLACE IT AGAIN! THIS MEANS I WILL STILL BE DRIVING MY "UNSAFE" CAR THAT COULD GET ME IN AN ACCIDENT OR BURN UNTIL THE NEW PART COMES OUT!!THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS! I CALLED THE DEALER MONTHLY PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING TO NO AVAIL. I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD PROVIDE ME A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE "RIGHT PART" COMES IN!

I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON RECALLS FOR MY MODEL CAR, AND SOME 2012 CHYSLER 300 HUNDREDS WERE RECALLED FOR A SPECIFIC PROBLEM DEALING WITH THE 160 VOLT ALTENATOR. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, CHYSLER IS NOT RECALLING ANY MODELS WITH THE 180 VOLT ALTENATOR. I AM ASSUMING BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL NOTICE ON IT, THAT MY CAR HAS 180 VOLT ALTENATOR ON IT. IF THAT IS THE CASE? I HAVE READ OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 180 VOLT ALTENATOR. I WAS LUCKY THAT I HAD JUST GOTTEN OF THE FREEWAY AND WAS NOT GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. WHAT ACTIONS HAVE THE NHTSA TAKEN TOO PROTECT CONSUMERS FOR THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE? EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS FIXED, IF THE CAN FIX IT I WILL NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TOO BE ADDRESSED BY THE CHRYSLER CORPORARTION AND THE NHTSA.

MY CARS RADIO WENT OUT FIRST THEN AC BLOWING WARM AIR THEN ALL GAUGES GOING CRAZY AND HAD A BURNING SMELL OF PLASTIC. WAS ON A CITY STREET CAME UP TO STOP SIGN AND CAR JUST DIED. THIS COULD OF BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. THANK GOODNESS I WASN'T ON HIGHWAY. I AM TOLD IT IS MY ALTERNATOR AND THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH OTHER RECALLS OF ALTERNATORS. I SEE THEY DO HAVE RECALLS ON 2012 CHRYSLER 300 FOR ALTERNATOR, BUT MY VIN # ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

HAD ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY REPLACED TODAY 06/30/2017 DUE TO SHORTAGE. NOTED NUMEROUS INTERNET COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FOR CHRYSLER 300. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL THAT INCLUDES 'CERTAIN' 2011 THRU 2014 CHRYSLER 300'S ("P60 / NHTSA 14V-634...FCA HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT, WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY, EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2011 THROUGH 2014 MODEL YEAR DODGE DURANGO, CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHALLENGER, DODGE CHARGER AND 2012 THROUGH 2014 MODEL YEAR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR.") I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THE NHTSA VIN RECALL LOOK-UP TOOL AND MY CAR HAS NO OPEN RECALLS. HOWEVER, I DO NOT FIND IT A COINCIDENCE THAT MY CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM IF OTHER CHRYSLER 300'S ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM ENOUGH TO GENERATE A RECALL. I HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED AT A LOCAL REPAIR COMPANY FOR $962 AND SOME CHANGE. AS THE SAFETY RECALL WARNS AND DENOTES THE POSSIBILITY OF ... "THE DRIVER WILL HAVE LIMITED OR NO DETECTION OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILING, WHICH CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING" ... THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AT AN INTERSECTION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON 06/29/17. I THINK MY VIN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE. ABOUT A MILE AWAY I STOPPED AT STOPLIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND DASH LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND OFF, RADIO AND AC COMING ON AND OFF AND THEN CAR DIES AND WILL NOT RESTART. AFTER 5 OR 10 MINUTES GET IT RESTARTED AND WILL BARELY MOVE. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN AUTO PARTS STORE JUST AROUND THE CORNER. WHEN I PULL IN THE PARKING LOT, CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE, WILL NOT SHUT OFF, WIND SHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND WON'T GO OFF, GAUGES ALL GOING CRAZY AND HAVE TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE SO MY CAR WON'T RUN THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE STORE WHILE I GO INTO STORE TO GET HELP. THE GUY HOOKS UP TO DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE AND IT GIVES A READ ERROR. (HOOKS UP TO ANOTHER CAR AND NO ERROR). FINALLY GET CAR TO SHUT OFF AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES. HE TESTS BATTERY AND COMES BACK LOW. NEW $200 BATTERY AND STARTS UP FINE, EVERYTHING WORKING AGAIN. PULL OUT OF PARKING LOT AND START SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING, SMOKE COMING THROUGH VENTS, WEIRD SOUND. PULL OVER AND SAME THINGS HAPPEN - GAUGES GOING CRAZY, WIPERS ON, WON'T SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE, WON'T TURN OFF. GET OUT OF CAR AND TAKE KEY OUT WITH ME AND WIPERS COME ON. HAVE TO TAKE OUT FUSE TO GET THEM TO GO OFF. LIGHTS COME ON. HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY TO GET THEM OFF - ALL OF THIS WHEN THE KEY IS NOT EVEN IN THE CAR! $60 TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO SHOP AND $600 TO HAVE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. WHY IS THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR NOT PART OF THE P60 RECALL WHEN IT IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR THAT WAS RECALLED??? I KEEP SEEING OTHERS SAYING THEY KEEP HAVING THE ALTERNATOR GO OUT AGAIN EVEN AFTER THEY REPLACE IT. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND NEVER AND PROBLEMS WITH IT OTHER THAN GENERAL MAINTENANCE STUFF. I DON'T NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANY LONGER.

BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WENT COMPLETELY OUT AT 78500 MILES WITH NO WARNING SIGNS AT ALL. DROVE TO WORK AND HAD NO LIGHTS TO INDICATE ANYTHING WAS FAILING IN THE CAR WHEN I WENT TO GO HOME AT 3AM. I COULDN'T GET INTO THE CAR BECAUSE BATTERY WAS DEAD. HAD TO LAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR PLUS LABOR WHEN I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO.

MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 3.6L V6 WENT IN BATTERY SAVE MODE AS I WAS DRIVING THEN SHUT OFF. IT WOULD NOT START SO I BOOST IT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED. I DROVE A CIRCLE AROUND THE APARTMENT COMPLEX AND THE CAR BEGIN TO SMOKE. THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING AND BURNING UP. I CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. NOW THE CAR CRANKS AND STAY RUNNING BUT WILL NOT DRIVE. NO DASH LIGHTS ARE WORKING AND I CAN NOT PUT IT INTO GEAR. IF I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT COMPLETELY THEN THE A/C AND DASH LIGHTS N RADIO WORK BUT THE CAR STILL WILL NOT GO INTO MY DESIRED GEAR. I HAVE LOST A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND NOWHERE ONLINE IS THERE ANSWERS FOR THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN, THE CARS WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AND ALARMS STARTED BEEPING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE FCW OFF MESSAGE, I SMELLED SMOKE AND HEARD A WHIRING SOUND. AFTER PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY, I POPPED OPEN THE HOOD AND FOUND NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. 20 MINUTES LATER I STARTED UP THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING, AGAIN WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. WHEN COMING BACK HOME (4 MILE ROUND TRIP), I HEARD A WHIRING SOUND AGAIN, SMELLED SMOKE AND LIGHTS AND ALARMS AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, I WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. AT THIS POINT, I COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD AND SAW SMOKE BILLOWING FROM THE AREA OF THE ALTERNATOR. AFTER THE SMOKE STOPPED I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR TO MOVE IT AND ROLL UP WINDOWS BUT COULD NOT, THE CAR HAD NO POWER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR MY CAR. HOWEVER, I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, MY CAR HAS THE 180 AMP. THIS ALTERNATOR FAILED IN THE EXACT SAME WAY AS THE 160 AMP ALTERNATORS. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT A BUSY INTERSECTION. SINCE THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, I AM NOW OUT $1000. I HAVE READ SIMILAR STORIES OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE 180 AMP ALTERNATORS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, PLEASE HELP.

ON MARCH 12, 2017 I WAS DRIVING CHRYSLER 2012 300 VEHICLE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY,THE VEHICLE THEN WENT INTO BATTERY POWER SAVE MODE, WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BREAKS LOCKED ON ME, THE CAR DID NOT LET ME STOP AND I WAS ON A BUSY STREET ROUTE 30 IN MERRILLVILLE, IN WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH FOR 15 FEET AND MADE AN ABRUPT STOP, AFTER WARDS I WAS UNABLE TO TURN ON VEHICLE AND WAS LEFT STRANDED ON BUSY STREET, LUCKILY THEIR WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME OR IT COULD OF BEEN WORSE, AFTER DOING RESEARCH I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ASKED IF THIS COULD OF BEEN DUE TO FAULTY ALTERNATOR AND MENTIONED RECALL P61 AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS FOR A 160 AMP AND MINE WAS 180 AMP, THE CAUSE OF THIS SITUATION WAS CLEARLY DUE TO A RECALL ON A RECALL OF A DIFFERENT CHRYSLER MODEL AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO IMMEDIATELY, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CUSTOMER OF CHRYSLER AND MY REASONING BEHIND BUYING CHRYSLER IS BECAUSE OF THEIR WONDERFUL SAFETY FEATURES, AND FEELING SECURE WHILE DRIVING MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN,IT IS UNFAIR AND AFTER THIS I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE .

WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY, ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR WORK, DISCOVERED THE SEAT BELT LATCH WOULD NOT WORK. THE INTERNAL MECHANISMS OF THE SEAT BELT LATCH MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE BELT TO BE LATCHED. PERSONALLY DISASSEMBLED THE LATCH AND DISCOVERED THE SPRING HAD DISENGAGED FROM THE METAL LOCK THAT CATCHES THE HOLE ON THE MALE END OF THE BELT. BECAUSE OF THIS, SOME OF THE COMPONENTS HAD SHIFTED AROUND INSIDE COMPLETELY DISABLING THE CATCHING MECHANISM FROM MOVING. HADN'T NOTICED ANY ISSUES PRIOR TO THE LATCH BECOMING INOPERABLE. THE LATCH THAT BROKE WAS ON THE DRIVERS SEAT. FOUND A USED LATCH FROM A JUNK YARD AND REPLACED IT. I CURRENTLY AM STILL IN POSSESSION OF THE OLD SEAT BELT LATCH.

ON 12/22/16, I USED MY CAR FOR WORK AND LATER CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WITH NO PROBLEM. AT 9:00 PM, MY HUSBAND, GRANDDAUGHTER AND I WERE ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 60-65 MPH WHEN THE BATTERY SAVE MODE LIGHT CAME ON. I SMELLED SMOKE SO MY HUSBAND MERGED OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT, STILL TRAVELING ABOUT 50-55 MPH. THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN, FIRST THE RADIO, THEN INSIDE PANEL LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS UP, AND CAR SLAMMED INTO PARK WHILE MOVING. FELT LIKE WE WERE REAR ENDED. VERY SCARY. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO COAST DOWNHILL OFF THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, BARELY MAKING IT OFF, WITH THE BACKEND OF THE CAR IN JEOPARDY OF BEING HIT. THE THREE OF US WERE STRANDED THERE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL 1:30 AM, IN A NOT SO LIT AREA, UNTIL AAA ARRIVED. NONE OF US KNEW HOW TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL SO IT HAD TO BE FORCED ON AND OFF THE FLAT BED. THE NEXT DAY, I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR THIS SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. MY CARE # IS 30764006. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT HAD A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR INSTEAD OF 160 AMP. I WAS TOLD BY [XXX] TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO MOTOR VILLAGE LA FOR AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS AND THAT SHE (CHRYSLER) WOULD TRY TO HELP ME GET IT APPROVED TO BE FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. MOTOR VILLAGE QUOTED ME $1200 TO FIX AND DENIED THE RECALL CLAIM. MY FAMILY AND I ALMOST LOST OUR LIVES THAT EVENING, AND I WASTED TIME WITH CHRYSLER RECALL. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED ELSEWHERE BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD $1200 FOR REPAIR. FURTHERMORE, WHEN I CALLED BACK, I WAS NOT ABLE TO SPEAK WITH [XXX] AND OF COURSE, THE STORY HAD CHANGED. THEY NO LONGER OFFERED HELP, ONLY APOLOGIES. AS A RESULT, I LOST TIME OFF WORK AND WAS WITHOUT A CAR FOR A WEEK. I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY $130.00 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE PAID TO MOTOR VILLAGE. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FIRST SIGN WAS IT KEPT SAYING LOW POWER MODE ACTIVATED. I TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE.

MY CAR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VERY VERY SCARY TO LOSE ALL CONTROL OF YOUR CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I PULLED OVER AND GOT CAR TOWED AWAY ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS MESSED UP CAUSING THE BATTERY AND SERPENTINE BELT TO GO OUT AS WELL. I ASKED IF MY 300 WAS COVERED PART OF THE FAULTY ALTERNATORS BUT APPARENTLY MY VIN DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL SO HERE I AM HOPING TO CAUSE AWARENESS SO I CAN GET MY $1500 BILL COVERED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. 2012 CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP ARE KNOWN TO HAVE FAULTY ALTERNATORS BUT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE "BAD BATCH" SO PLEASE EXPAND THIS RECALL.

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AT CHRYSLER, LITTLE FALLS NJ OF 2014, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. FROM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, TO THE AIRBAG ISSUES, TO LATER SPENDING OVER 1300 IN REPAIRING THE ALTERNATOR. WITHIN THE 1ST FEW DAYS OF THE PURCHASE THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN WHICH I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS TOO LATE TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE, PER FLO I HAD SIGNED THE CONTRACT AND CANNOT CANCEL THE DEAL. AFTER BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AND LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE, I CONTACTED CORPORATE CHRYSLER, IN WHICH CAITLIN CONTACTED ME AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH RT1 CHRYSLER IN LAWRENCEVILLE NJ AROUND 7/2015, IN WHICH THEY STATED THAT THE AIR BAG HAD SPLICED WIRES. A FEW DAYS FROM TAKING THE VEHICLE HOME THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CONTACTED CAITLIN TO REPORT THAT THE ISSUE STILL EXIST IN WHICH SHE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. I CALLED HER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

I ALSO BROUGHT IT IN TO THE CHRYSLER IN LUMBERTON SINCE THE CAR HAD LOST POWER/ENGINE KNOCKING AND THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL I BROUGHT IT BACK TO CHERRY HILL CHRYSLER AND THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS ENGINE PROBLEMS. CORPORATE CHRYSLER AND ALL THESE DEALERS HAVE CONTINUED CLAIMING THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANY AIRBAG ISSUES OR WHEN THEY CLAIM THEY FIND SOMETHING, IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT YET THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. BOTTOM LINE, ALL THESE DEALERS AND CORPORATE CHRYSLER HAVE CONTINUED PUTTING MY LIFE, MY FAMILIES LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND MY FAMILIES. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A LUXURY LEMON AND CORPORATE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE SINCE THEY CANNOT FIX IT.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I AM SENDING A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE 2012 CHRYSLER 300'S AND THE SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED. MY VEHICLE HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE USED TO SPORADICALLY AFFECT MY VEHICLE IN VARIOUS WAY, HOWEVER LATELY THE ISSUES HAVE BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND AGGRESSIVE. THE FREQUENT AND AGGRESSIVE ACTIVITY ARE AS FOLLOWS: SOMETIMES MY BLUETOOTH WILL NOT CONNECT SO I WOULD TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE BLUETOOTH WOULD IMMEDIATELY CONNECT. SOMETIMES THE POWER SEATS WILL NOT HEAT. I WOULD PULL OVER TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD START HEATING UP. SOMETIMES THE BACK-UP CAMERA FLICKERS AND HAS A SEVERELY DISTORTED IMAGE. SOMETIME THE IMAGE OF THE CAMERA IS PERFECTLY CRYSTAL CLEAR. THE MAIN CONCERN IS MY POWER STEERING IS ELECTRIC AND I DO NOT HAVE A POWER STEERING PUMP. WHEN I AM DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN OUT OF NO WHERE THE STEERING GETS REALLY TIGHT AND I ALMOST HAVE TO FORCE THE CAR TO TURN. WHEN I PARK THE CAR AND LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE THEN THE STEERING IS FINE AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AND EVERYONE SAYS THAT THE BATTERY ALTERNATOR AND STARTER ARE ALL PERFECT. THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2013. THE ATTACHED IMAGES SHOW THE BACKUP CAMERA FLICKERING AND DISTORTED IMAGES. EXACTLY 2 MINUTES LATER I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE IMAGES WERE PERFECT. I ALSO HAVE VIDEOS TO SHARE IF NEEDED.

HAS STARTED VISITING A FRIEND IN THE HOSPITAL COMMA PARK THE CAR IN A PARKING GARAGE AND ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY NOT MOVING AND WHEN I RETURN AND DISENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE I NOTICED MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE WHICH I DISCOVERED TODAY MAY 19TH 2016 IS THAT WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND STARTING IT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL AS I PROGRESSED DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED SOMETHING A LITTLE OFF AND IT NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE THE RPM SEEM TO BE A LITTLE JUMPY AND I CHECK THE OIL PRESSURE WHICH WAS REALLY HIGH I TURNED AROUND IMMEDIATELY AND PARKED THE CAR BACK AT MY HOUSE. THE OIL PRESSURE WOULD JUMP MAYBE 30 TO 40 PSI BUT ONLY REACHING 20 MILES AN HOUR. I AM UNAWARE OF WHAT IS CAUSING THESE ISSUES AND ONLY DISCOVERED IT AS I WAS MAKING A TURN OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I AM ALSO UNSURE OF THE DATE THAT THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON BUT I CAN SAY IT WAS BEFORE THE EVENTS ON MAY 19TH 2016. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FEBRUARY 14TH OF LAST YEAR.

WHILE ON HIGHWAY, MY RADIO TURNED OFF AND VEHICLE WENT INTO BATTERY SAVING MODE. AS I PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY, THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND THE CAR BARELY MADE IT THERE. THE CAR SMELLED LIKE IF SOMETHING WAS BURNING UNDER THE HOOD. ONE OF THE ATTENDANTS CHECKED MY BATTERY AND SAID THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED, I HAD THEM RECHARGE IT. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED SINCE THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE. I PICKED UP THE BATTERY THIS MORNING AND TURNED THE CAR ON, AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO FLICKER SO I JUST TURNED OF THE CAR. I READ IN TO THE VEHICLES RECALLS AND I NOTICED THAT RECALL #P6O IS EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR WAS DOING LAST NIGHT. I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT DUE TO MY CAR NOT BEING AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL BUT IT OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO TO MAKE MY CAR PART OF THIS RECALL? IF SO WHAT STEPS CAN I TAKE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND OR MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS SINCE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS ISSUE STARTED, IF NOT FOR MY QUICK THINKING THE CAR COULD OF STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT WHILE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN TO FAIL IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME. I AM AFRAID IF WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT THE AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY.

(P60/NHTSA 14V-634) I OWN A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 5 MPH IN A PARKING LOT, THE RADIO STATED CUTTING ON AND OFF, THE BATTERY ICON FLASHED ON AND OFF AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I OPENED THE HOOD AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. AAA CAME AND TRIED TO JUMP -START THE VEHICLE, BUT THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE BATTER AND THE ALTERNATOR WERE REPLACED. IN 2015, A LETTER WAS SENT TO CERTAIN CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS WHOSE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND GET THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED, FREE OF CHARGE. THOSE OF US WITH A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR DID NOT QUALIFY. THOSE OF US WITH THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR DID NOT QUALIFY. THE SAME PROBLEM THAT EXISTED WITH THE 160 AMP, ALSO EXIST WITH THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR. I ALSO HAVE A LIFE- TIME WARRANTY, BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE BATTERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY IN MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 WHEN I RECEIVED THE MANUFACTURER RECALL NOTICE. I PURCHASED THE PARTS MYSELF AND HAD THE DEALER INSTALL THEM AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER. PLEASE NOTE HERE THAT THIS IS A BASE MODEL. THAT ALTERNATOR RECENTLY FAILED AS WELL AFTER JUST OVER A YEAR. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF FOR A FEW DAYS. IT CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON THIS TIME. HAD IT TESTED AND WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR WAS AGAIN FAILING. THIS ALTERNATOR COST 485.00, LUCKILY WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY. PERHAPS IT IS NOT JUST THE TYPE OF ALTERNATORS CHRYSLER USED, BUT A MORE COMPLEX PROBLEM TO BE INVESTIGATED HERE.

THERE IS A KNOCKING COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD RELATED TO THE AC. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AND NOW THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2012 AS WELL AS MY FRIEND, SHE HAS A 2006 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. EVERY TIME THE AC IS TURNED OFF THERE IS A KNOCKING FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE GEAR SHIFTER STICK FAILED TO SHIFT FROM THE REVERSE POSITION.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, AS THE CAR HEATS UP, THE ABS FUSE SEEMS TO LOSE CONTACT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ABS/ESP (STABILITY CONTROL), FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE DISABLE. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING. IF USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ACCELERATION AND SPEED MAINTENANCE WILL STOP, AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT (THOUGH IT HAS NOT YET). A SIMILAR CHRYSLER CASE HAS BEEN OPENED AND LINKED TO THE POLICE VARIANT OF A CAR ON THE SAME PLATFORM WITH SAME ENGINE. POLICE CARS USE DODGE CHARGERS WITH HEMI V8, WHICH IS THE SAME PLATFORM AS THE CHRYSLER 300 WITH A HEMI V8, WITH MOSTLY COSMETIC ISSUES. THE FUSE IS NOT BLOWN, AND UPON THE CAR COOLING DOWN, THE SYSTEM IS RESTORED, HOWEVER, ON JOURNEYS IN WHICH THE ENGINE HEAT RISES, THE SYSTEM GOES OFFLINE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS MAY BE A COMMON ISSUE IN THIS PLATFORM, HOWEVER, THE TSB ONLY WENT TO THE POLICE CAR VARIANT OF ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CAR. WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING, IF THE DRIVER HAS THE BRAKES APPLIED, A BANG/GRIND/SCRAPE SOUND (SUCH AS WHAT IS HEARD WHEN THE ABS ACTUALLY ENGAGES) CAN BE HEARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART.

THE VIN WAS INCLUDED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET WHEN SUDDENLY IT STARTED TO ACT STRANGE. THE VEHICLE STABILITY WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AND I BEGAN TO QUICKLY LOSE POWER AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. A BURNING SMELL WAS DETECTED AND THE POWERTRAIN BEGAN TO MAKE UNUSUAL NOISES. OTHER WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN POPPING RANDOMLY AND THE WIPERS STARTED ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING HAD BURNED UP UNDER THE HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE SERVICE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT LATER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THE ALTERNATOR HAD BURNED UP. THE ALTERNATOR ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY BATTERY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO REPAIR BOTH. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO INDICATED THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS AWARE CHRYSLER HAD RECALLED ALMOST 1/2 MILLION VEHICLE FOR THE SAME EXACT ALTERNATOR PROBLEM (RECALL P60). I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INDICATED NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE P60 RECALL LIST. THEY PROVIDED ME A CASE NUMBER FOR THE INITIAL ROADSIDE SERVICE/TOW (#28743527) AND INDICATED NO OTHER CASE NUMBER WOULD BE GENERATED. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON CHRYSLER'S RECALL LIST, THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED BY MY VEHICLE WAS IDENTICAL TO THE ALTERNATOR/ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED IN OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME MODEL/ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70 MILES PER/HOUR MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 DASH WARNING LIGHT LIT UP FOLLOWED BY DASH GOING WHITE. WE THEN LOST ALL POWER IN VEHICLE. NO POWER STEERING NO LIGHTS INSIDE VEHICLE OR OUTSIDE. WE WERE TRAVELING AT NIGHT SO PULLED OFF WITH SOME GREAT EFFORT. I AM GLAD I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE. YOU COULD SMELL THE ELECTRICAL FIRE IN VEHICLE. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. PAID ALMOST 700 DOLLARS FOR NEW ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL (P60) WHICH LIST MY VEHICLE BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP AS PART OF THE RECALL. MY BROTHER HAS A DODGE AND HAD SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY. HIS VEHICLE WAS LISTED AS PART OF N60 RECALL AND WAS REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE.

THE GEAR SHIFTER SOMETIMES DOES NOT GO INTO PARK AND ON ONE OCCASION I GOT OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT REALIZING AND IMMEDIATELY JUMPED BACK IN, REENGAGING THE PARK POSITION. SINCE THAT TIME, I DOUBLE CHECK EACH TIME BEFORE GETTING OUT. HAVE NOT LIKED THIS SHIFTER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2012, SINCE OBTAINING THE CORRECT GEAR TAKES SOMETIMES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. MY WIFE ALSO HAS THIS DIFFICULTY.

VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR A PERIOD OF WEEKS UNTIL IT STAYS ON PERMANENTLY UNTIL REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THAT THE PART REPLACED IS THE SAME AS INDICATED ON RECALL 13V118000, YET, MY VIN DOES NOT APPLY TO THE RECALL. THE CURRENT FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN DUPLICATED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THUS THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. FURTHER, THE LIGHT WAS ON THE DAY PRIOR TO BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE, ON 9/22, YET THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NO CODES. THEY STATE THAT ANY TIME THE LIGHT COMES ON, A CODE IS STORED THAT IS NOT CLEARED UNTIL THE BATTERY IS REMOVED OR THE CODE IS CLEARED BY THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. THUS THE FINDING OF NO CODES STORED IS TROUBLING, AS THERE WOULD BE NO DISCERNIBLE EVIDENCE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AS TO WHY THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS FAILING PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY REPAIRED THE ISSUE TWICE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND I HAVE PAID THE DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS EACH TIME. THEY CONTINUE TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WITH FAULTY PARTS.

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED TO STALL. MANAGED TO GET IT TO A PARKING LOT WHERE IT DIED OUT. THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY GOT A NEW ONE TO MOVE FROM THE PARKING LOT. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME FROM THE PARKING LOT ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY. IT STARTED TO GIVE OUT AND STALL AGAIN SO I PULLED OVER. POPPED THE HOOD OPEN AND THE ALTANATOR WAS SMOKING SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF. EVEN AFTER I TURNED IT OFF IT STILL SMOKED AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS CRACKLINGS LIKE A FIRE LUCKILY IT DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE. MY QUESTION IS IF THERE'S RECALLS ON 2011-2014 CHRYSLER 300 ALTANATORS WHY IS THERE NOT ONE ON MY CAR?

I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON AND THE MALFUNCTIONING INDICATOR LIGHT BOTH COME . THE VEHICLE LOSES SPEED AND WILL NOT GO IN PARK OR SHUT OFF . THE FUSES IN THE FUSE BOX BECOME EXTREMELY HOT . HAD DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE REAR SPEED WHEEL SPEED SENSOR . PART WAS REPLACED AND VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING .

AROUND 3 WEEKS AGO. MY ESC LIGHT CAME ON I WASN'T SURE EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS AT FIRST. I DID A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS INFORMATION ABOUT A RECALL REGARDING ESC LIGHT. SO I CALLED THE RECALL PHONE NUMBER AND THEY CHECKED WITH THE GLENDALE CHRYSLER AND SET ME UP A APPOINTMENT FOR ONE WEEK LATER AT 9AM. THE DAY I WENT TO THE GLENDALE LOCATION WHEN I ARRIVED I WENT UP AND SPOKE WITH THE PERSON WHO WAS HANDLING MY SITUATION. I THOUGHT BEING THAT I HAD THE 9AM APPOINTMENT AND I WAITED ONE WEEK I WOULD BE THE FIRST PRIORITY. INSTEAD SEVERAL PEOPLE WENT AHEAD OF ME AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR TILL 1PM. AT THE END OF EVERYTHING I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I FELT AS IF THEY WAS NOT REALLY TRYING TO HELP ME AND TRIED TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER REASON WHY THE LIGHT WAS ON. SO I WENT HOME AND CALLED THE RECALL NUMBER BACK AND EXPLAINED TO THEM I WASN'T COMFORTABLE WITH THE SITUATION. SO THEY CALLED THE DOWNTOWN LA LOCATION AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AND THEY CANT ORDER THE PART. THE REPRESENTATIVE THEN CALLED THE INGLEWOOD LOCATION AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FORWARD THE INFORMATION TO THE SUPERVISOR AND SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THAT CALL WAS MADE ON WED JULY 15TH AND AS OF TODAY JULY 20TH I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING.

I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY ALL THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER WHEN ON THEN THE RADIO WENT OFF, THEN WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK, DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK THEN LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND ENGINE WAS STILL ON BUT NOT RESPONDING TO GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY BUT THEN I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS THEN STARTING TO OVERHEAT AND A BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL WAS NOTICEABLE. I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE HOOD AND PULL OUT SOME FUSES TO FINALLY SHUT THE CAR DOWN BEFORE IT POTENTIALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. I FELL THIS IS AN INHERIT SAFETY DANGE WITH THIS CAR. I SENT DO DEALER TO BE TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR WHICH IS VERY SCARY THAT THE CAR COULD DO THIS IF THE ALTERNATOR GOES. I SEEN THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY MODEL CAR BUT NOT FOR THE ONE I HAVE BUT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE PREVIOS RECALL FOR THE ALTERNATORS.

CONTACT CHRYSLER ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY DISPATCHED A TOW TRUCK TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE AT A LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER SERVICE SHOP IS BACK-UP AND WILL BE A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THEY CAN EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. SPOKE TO CHRYSLER TECHNICAL SUPPORT THEY CONFORMED THE VEHICLE HAS NO EXISTING RECALL NOTICES. *TR

LFIRST I MUST SAY, I HAVE BEGUN TO HATE EVER BUYING A CHRYSLER. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 3 RECALLS IN THE SHORT LIVED OF ME PURCHASING THIS CAR. NOW, I RECEIVE THIS "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE" ON THE ALTERNATOR JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT NO PROBLEM, I WILL BE OFF WORK, I WILL GO BY THE DEALER AND HAVE THIS CHECK/FIXED, BUT AS I CONTINUING READING THE NOTICE THAT SAID YOU WILL NOTIFY ME WHEN THESE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM PLANNING TO TRAVEL FOR THE HOLIDAYS, NOW I CAN'T, I DON'T TRUST THIS CAR. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE AT THIS POINT TRAVELING AMONGST A CONVEY OF OTHER CARS AND MY CAR COULD JUST STOP DOES NOT MAKE FOR A HAPPY CHRISTMAS, THIS HAS RUINED MY CHRISTMAS PLANS AND MY QUESTION TO CHRYSLER SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO? THE CAR IS SLUGGISH AS IT IS AND NOW THIS. NOT WHAT I HOPE TO GET FROM THIS CAR I ALWAYS WANTED AND NOW I HAVE GROWN TO SEE IT AS ONE OF MY WORST NIGHTMARES'. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO HERE? BASICALLY, I GET THAT I COULD EXPERIENCE A RAPID FAILURE; THUS, PUTTING MY LIFE, THE PEOPLE IN MY CAR, AND EVERY OTHER CITIZEN LIFE IN DANGER. THIS IS OK, THE ONLY SAFETY HER IS THAT I DON'T DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL IT'S FIXED AND YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITHOUT PARTS, AND SINCE CHRYSLER DO NOT KNOW WHEN THESE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IT IS EXTREMELY TO RISKY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED AND IF I DRIVE THIS CAR, THAT INVOLVES EVERYONE!!! *TR

I WONDER ABOUT THIS SINCE THE NOTICE CLAIMS POSSIBLE FAILURE OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND LOSS OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY. SO WHAT ABOUT THE 8 LANES OF DRIVERS AND CARS AROUND ME. DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT THE POSSIBLE IMPACT TO DRIVERS WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD NOT BE HARMED !!! I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT I SHOULD RECEIVE GREATER CONSIDERATION. IF THIS CAR IS DEEMED TO BE POSSIBLY "NOT SAFE," I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT CHRYSLER FIND ME ONE WHICH IS SAFE. AGAIN, SAFERCAR -- WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DRIVERS AROUND ME IF THE SYSTEMS IN THIS CHRYSLER 300 SHOULD FAIL AND I LOSE BRAKE CONTROL IN 8 LANES OF TRAFFIC? ANY IDEAS? THE FOLKS WHO BUILT IT APPEAR TO BE CLUELESS !!! *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND CAR STARTED MAKING A NOISE. PULLED OVER AND POPPED THE HOOD AND SMELLED BURNING OF PLASTIC. ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING. HAD TO HAVE TOWED HOME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,743.
