2013 Chrysler 300 4 DR AWD

On the gear shift lever of my vehicle, there are jagged, hard plastic pieces between the leather and the shift lever that continuously cuts my fingers while shifting gears. The cuts are similar to papercuts. One time, a piece of the hard plastic broke off and got stuck in my hand, which required tweezers to remove. Very painful.

RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2013 CHRYSLER 300 THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING CONSTANT STARTING ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO AT LEAST 5 SHOPS AND EVERY SHOP IS TELLING ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS HAVING CODES COME BACK FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM) THE CAR HAS BEEN WORKED ON MULTIPLE TIMES AND I AM STILL UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I SEEN THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2013 CHRYSLER 300 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AND I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED.

I OWN A 2013 CHRYSLER 300C LUXURY 5.7L IT RAN FINE AS OF APRIL 5TH 2021. ON APRIL 6TH 2021 THE CAR SUDDENLY WOULDN'T START. CRANKED FOREVER AND WOULD EVENTUALLY START. HAD 0 OIL PRESSURE BUT JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE A FEW HUNDRED MILES BEFORE. CODES WERE PRESENTED ON THE ODB2 SCANNER TOOL. THE CAR ITSELF SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A SHORT OR SOMETHING. TRIED EVERYTHING I COULD TO FIX IT AND NOTHING WORKED. EVENTUALLY ALL THE SCREENS AND GAUGES BEGIN TO SEIZE OUT AND THE CAR DIES. WON'T EVEN START. BATTERY WAS ALSO CHECKED AND FINE.

THE ABS CONTROL MODULE FOR SEVERAL CHRYSLER VEHICLES IS UNAVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THIS TIME. THE ABS IS EFFECTIVELY DISABLED AS A RESULT OF LACK OF PARTS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH A DEALER PARTS DEPARTMENT, THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF THESE MODULES BACKORDERED WITH NO FULFILLMENT DATE AVAILABLE. THE PART NUMBERS NECESSARY FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE ARE 68195727AA (ORIGINAL) AND 68210119AB (REPLACEMENT). I AM CONCERNED WITH THE LOSS OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKING ABILITY FOR HUNDREDS OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES.

HANDS FREE MODULE QUIT WORKING, COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE/CHRYSLER, AC WILL NOT RECIRCULATE CAUSES ONLY OUTSIDE AIR TO BE DRAWN INTO THE CAB, CAUSE IS MALFUNCTIONING/BAD HUMIDITY SENSOR ABOUT THE RESR VIEW MIRROR, DRIVER HEATED SEAT QUIT WORKING, LEFT HEADLIGHT QUIT WORKING, BAD HID BALLAST. THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY WILL RETRACT ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING. THE TRANSMISSION W5A580-NAG1-722.6 EITHER SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD 3-4 4-5 OR SLIPS IN BETWEEN THE GEARS CAUSING THE ENGINE RPMS TO GO WAY UP AND THEN EITHER FALLS BACK INTO GEAR OR CAUSES A NEUTRAL AND WILL NOT GO BACK INTO GEAR UNTIL YOU EITHER DROP BELOW 18 MPH OR COMPLETELY STOP AND EITHER PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE OR SHUT THE ENGINE OFF FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND START IT BACK UP. AFTER THE FLARE BETWEEN GEARS IT IS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR OR LIMP MODE WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DTC READ P0730 THROUGH P0735. LITERALLY HAVE TO CARRY A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN TOOL WITH ME TO CLEAR THE CODES. ITS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ALWAYS HAPPENS IN THE WORST PLACES LIKE GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE OR ON BUSY CITY STREETS ALMOST CAUSES AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER AND STOP NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE OR THE CONDITIONS AROUND YOU... THESE ARE ALL VERY COMMON ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, IT WOULD BE NICE IF CHRYSLER WOULD MAKE IT RIGHT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT OUT OF GEAR INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MCCLUSKEY CHEVROLET (9673 KINGS AUTO MALL RD, CINCINNATI, OH 45249) ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON AFTER THE SEAT BELT IS FASTENED KEEP RELAYING A MESSAGE ON THE EVIC SCREEN AS DRIVER SEAT BELT IS UNBUCKLED . SURE THIS WILL CAUSE THE SEAT BELT TO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY DURING A COLLISION. VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN. DIDN'T NOTICE TILL I STARTED DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD THEN THE EVIC SCREEN MESSAGE MAIL ALERT WAS SAYING DRIVE SEAT BELT UNBUCKLED

DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 8. VEHICLE HAS 123,000 MILES ON IT. I AM TOLD IT IS A LIFTER OR CAM AND THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THIS VEHICLE IS 7 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED. AFTER READING REVIEWS THE HEMI ENGINE IS KNOWN TO BREAK DOWN. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR A NEW ENGINE APPROXIMATELY $ 7,000. VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN IDLED VERY ROUGH TOOK IN AND MAJOR WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE. WISH CHRYSLER WOULD BACK THEIR VEHICLE.

I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHTS: AT NIGHT 1. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO WEAK 2. HIGH BEAM DOES NOT ADD MUCH TO THE ALREADY WEAK DIMMED LOW BEAM. 3. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THESE HEADLIGHTS FOR SAFETY CONCERNS.

THE HANDS FREE MODULE MALFUNCTIONED AND NO LONGER PAIRS WITH MY PHONE. AFTER LOOKING INTO SOLUTIONS ONLINE I FOUND MANY FORUMS WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

AS I WAS DRIVING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED OVER PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, BUT THE CAR WAS STUCK IN THE RUN POSITION BUT WAS NOT RUNNING. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY VIA THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL AND PROCEEDED TO RECONNECT IT. I HAVE POWER TO THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS GAS AND TRUNK DOOR, BUT NOTHING AS FAR AS CLUSTER PANEL OR STARTER BUTTON. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED IT HOME, THE DASH AND RADIO CAME ON, I ASSUME DUE TO THE WHEELS TURNING BRINGING POWER THROUGH THE ALTERNATOR. AFTER SOME THOROUGH RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY ALTERNATOR ON THESE CARS FOR RECALL.

I REPLACE THE BATTERY CUZ IT SEEM THAT IT WAGONG BAD DINT WANT TO START THE CAR AND AFTER RUNNING IT FOR A FEW MINUTES WHIT A NEW BATTERY IT DID THE SAME THE REMOTE START WAS WORKING THEN IT JUST STOP MY REVERSE CAMARA ALSO STOP WORKING MY RADIO SHUTS DOWN WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT DRAINS ON THE BATTERY FAST

IN MARCH 2019 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE A CHROMED SECTION ON THE STEERING WHEEL WAS PEELING BACK AND HAD CAUSED ME TO CUT MY THUMB ON IT. THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AND THEY ALSO CALLED ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS COSMETIC IN NATURE. I TRIED WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE WARRANTY (ZURICH) PERSONNEL AND THEY SEEMED AT FIRST AS THOUGH THEY WOULD TRY TO ASSIST AND THEN DECIDED NOT TO. I DID NOT PURSUE IT ANY FURTHER SINCE. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND MY RIGHT HAND THUMB RAN ACROSS ANOTHER SECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT PUT A CONSIDERABLE CUT IN MY THUMB. I HAVE A PHOTO OF THAT AS WELL AS THE PIECE THAT BROKE OFF IN MY THUMB. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COSMETIC IN NATURE BUT REALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM BUT THE STEERING WHEEL HAS THE HEATED FEATURE AND I USE IT ALL THE TIME IN THE WINTER. IT DOES SEEM TO GET VERY WARM FROM THE HEAT AND I AM NOT SURE IF THAT COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SOMETHING THAT WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AS THE CHROME PLATING CONTINUES TO PEEL AWAY. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST FROM NEGLECTFUL USE, IS VERY REAL, AND AGAIN SHOULD BE LOOKED AT FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT CAUSED A QUICK REACTION TO LOOK DOWN AT MY THUMB TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND CERTAINLY DISTRACTED MY DRIVING THAT SUDDENLY. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING LOOKED INTO FOR ME AS WELL ANY OTHER DRIVER THAT MAY HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

MY 18 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT ABOUT 40-50 MILES AN HOUR ON A VERY BUSY STREET IN BELLEVUE WASHINGTON, A CITY HE'S NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO PARK AND WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. HE HAD TO THINK QUICKLY AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD HE WAS ABLE TO MOMENTARILY GET THE CAR IN DRIVE AND PULL OVER INTO A DRIVEWAY. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR, IT WOULD REVERT BACK TO PARK REGARDLESS OF WHAT GEAR YOU SHIFTED IT INTO. WE TRIED TO SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE AND IT REVERTED BACK TO PARK. THIS IS THE SECOND VERY SERIOUS SITUATION I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR. THE FUSE HAPPENS OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A BUS BUT LUCKILY I WAS ALSO ABLE TO THINK QUICK ND TURN INTO A URGENT CARE PARKING LOT. IT WAS A FAULTY ALTERNATOR THAT WAS A PART OF A RECALL. I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND DO NOT WANT MY SO. TO EVER DRIVE IT. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SECOND CAR FOR HIM TO DRIVE BUT ITS UNSAFE. I WANT CHRYSLER TO PAY ME OUT OF MY LOAN AS I NEVER WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN AND I STILL OWE $15,000 ON THIS CAR.

WENT IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SITUATION HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND THE COST FOR REPAIR IS OVER $1000 FOR ONE SIDE. CLEARLY WITH ALL THE PREMATURE RUST/WEAR - THAT IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO CHRYSLER, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR VIBRATES SUBSTANTIALLY UNDER ANY BRAKING FORCE. FEELS LIKE THE TIRE IS GOING TO FALL OFF THE CAR. CANNOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE AT ANY RATE OF SPEED.

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL FOR ALL 2011 THROUGH 2014 CHRYSLER 300 MODELS DUE TO AN INTERNAL PARTS FAILURE ON THE ALTERNATOR. ON JUNE 9, 2017 MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. I RECEIVED A RESERVE POWER ENABLED ERROR MESSAGE AND PROMPTLY TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE I HEARD A WHINING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. I ONCE AGAIN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD. I THEN NOTICE THE ALTERNATOR WAS ON FIRE WITH SIGNIFICANT SMOKE. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF SEVERE SMOKE AND FLAME FROM THE ALTERNATOR THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER AT ALL. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALER WHICH REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR HAD BURNED UP THE BATTERY ALONG WITH INTERNAL COMPONENT FAILURE ON THE ALTERNATOR. I PAID THE DEALER $ 1,274.09 FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER STATEMENT INDICATED INTERNAL FAILURE ON THE ALTERNATOR. 4 WEEKS LATER CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED A RECALL ON THE 2011 THROUGH 2014 CHRYSLER 300 ALTERNATOR FOR "INTERNAL COMPONENT FAILURE COULD CAUSE ALTERNATOR TOTAL FAILURE AND FIRE". CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY VEHICLE UNDER THIS RECALL STATING THAT THE CHRYSLER 300 IS THE ONLY MODEL IMPACTED USING A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR AND THAT MY VEHICLE, A CHRYSLER 300 S MODEL USES A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. ALL THE WHILE THE WRITE UP IN THE RECALL NOTICE MATCHES THE EXACT WRITE UP FROM THE TECHNICIAN WHO REPAIRED MY VEHICLE AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP 4 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT. I WOULD LIKE FOR CHRYSLER TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FAILURE IN MY ALTERNATOR, WHICH CAUGHT ON FIRE, AS COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL AND REFUND ME MY $ 1,274.09 DUE TO VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE.

ON 20170731 MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300S SHOWED BATTERY SAVER INDICATOR ON IGNITION. IT ALSO EMITTED A FUNNY SMELL. I PARKED THE VEHICLE. AAA CAME OUT, AND THE TECHNICIAN CHANGED THE BATTERY. WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED. WHAT THE TECHNICIAN IDENTIFIED AS THE ALTERNATOR STARTING SMOKING AND GLOWING. IT HAD BEEN THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL. HE HAD TO THROW HIS WATER ON IT TO PUT IT OUT. I READ AN ARTICLE CNBC.COM FROM 20170714 SAYING CHRYSLER 300 VEHICLES HAD ALTERNATOR FIRE RISKS: HTTPS://WWW.CNBC.COM/2017/07/14/FIAT-CHRYSLER-RECALLS-1-POINT-33-MILLION-VEHICLES.HTML . I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER OF SUCH A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE LOCAL SERVICE OFFICE HAS HAD MY ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER FOR ABOUT A YEAR. AFTER TOWING TO CHRYSLER SERVICE IN SAN JOSE, THE SERVICE MANAGER IN SAN JOSE AND THEIR ONLINE CHAT HELP PERSON SAID THAT THE RECALL DIDN'T APPLY TO MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE REP REFUTED THAT THE ANNOUNCED RECALL WAS FOR AN ALTERNATOR EVEN THOUGH THE ARTICLE CLEARLY SAYS "THE AUTOMAKER IS ALSO RECALLING 565,000 VEHICLES TO REPLACE THEIR ALTERNATORS BECAUSE OF FIRE RISKS. THE COMPANY SAID HOT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES COULD LEAD TO PREMATURE DIODE WEAR, MAY RESULT IN A BURNING ODOR OR SMOKE, COULD IMPACT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM OR LEAD TO ENGINE STALLS." THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I EXPERIENCED AND THE ARTICLE SAYS IT APPLIED TO MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. I NEED TO MAKE SURE CHRYSLER/DODGE IS FOLLOWING UP ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE PEOPLE COULD DIE. NOT ONLY AM I ON THE HOOK FOR $1K IN COSTS FOR SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A MANUFACTURER HAZARD. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF RELATED EXAMINATION/REPLACEMENT WILL OCCUR ON MY VEHICLE... I NEED TO KNOW THAT PROPER PRECAUTION IS TAKEN. FOR REFERENCE THE AAA CONTRACTED TECHNICIAN WAS FROM GREAT AMERICA TOW IN SAN JOSE, CA. I CAN PROVIDE A REFERENCE NUMBER FOR HIS VISIT IF CONTACTED. HE MAY PROVIDE MORE USEFUL OBSERVATIONS.

HAD ENTERED A SIDE-STREET OFF BEDFORD ST IN LEXINGTON MA (MA 4/225) AT ABOUT 10 A.M. AND WAS STOPPED, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND IN DRIVE, BY A LINE OF TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME. WHILE IDLING, THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND AND A JOLT FELT IN THE CAR, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL IDLING. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY HAD "AWD SERVICE" AND THEN ANOTHER WORD WHICH I DON'T RECALL. WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, I FOUND THE HANDLE SHIFTER ALREADY SHOWED "P" AND SO DID THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE THE SETTING WITH THE HANDLE SHIFTER, PULLING TOWARD "D" DID NOTHING (STILL SHOWED "P") AND PUSHING FORWARD PRODUCED A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ALREADY BEING IN THE SELECTED POSITION. TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT (WHICH PROCEEDED NORMALLY) AND RETRYING TO CHANGE THE SHIFT POSITION RESULTED IN THE SAME BEHAVIOR (I.E., NO CHANGE TRYING TO MOVE TO "D" AND THE MESSAGE IN THE DISPLAY ABOUT ALREADY BEING IN THE SELECTED POSITION). HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TAKEN ON THE BED OF A TOW TRUCK TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. (AS THE TRANSMISSION APPEARED TO BE IN PARK, THAT ENTAILED DRAGGING THE CAR ONTO THE BED OF THE TOW TRUCK AND THEN "BOUNCING" IT OFF THE BED AT THE DEALER. LAST ADVICE I HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY THE DEALER (WAS TODAY) IS THAT THEY ARE AWAITING ADVICE BACK FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT A NEW TRANSMISSION. NOTE: EXTRAORDINARILY LUCKY THAT I WAS STOPPED ON A SIDE STREET IN THE RIGHT-MOST OF THE TWO LANES WHEN THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OCCURRED. HARD TO IMAGINE JUST HOW HORRIFIC IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF IT HAD OCCURRED WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY--WHICH I HAD BEEN DOING JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I HAD TURNED OFF TO TRAVEL ON BEDFORD ST.....UPDATED 11/03/17 *BF *TR

I WASN'T DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED GOING CRAZY. HEAT TURNED ON, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, BLINKERS GOING OFF, RADIO TURNED OFF. POWER STEERING, GAS AND BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THIS AND LUCKY I DID NOT GET HIT BECAUSE OF THE SPOT I WAS IN. I GOT THE CAR TOWED AND SENT TO A MECHANIC. IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR THAT WENT BAD AND IT BURNED THE BATTERY SO HAD TO GET THAT REPLACES AS WELL. VERY DANGEROUS WITH NO WARNING SIGNS. I HAVE HEARD THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT'S FATHER OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300.

DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT WILL NOT LOCK

SAME PROBLEM THAT OCCURS WITH KNOWN RECALL P60 - NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000; CHRYSLER 300 WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVILY POPULATED CITY 3 LANE ROAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED (35-40 MPH) SINCE MY DIGITAL DISPLAY SCREEN AND SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY WITH THE ONLY WARING BEING "BATTERY SAVER MODE" THAT OCCURRED LESS THAN 5 MINS PRIOR TO MY CAR SHUTTING OFF. IT APPEARS THE MY ALTERNATOR FAILED CAUSING ENGINE STALL, THUS INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH, SINCE NO WARNING IS ISSUED. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE COP THAT PULLED UP BEHIND ME, I WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THAT STREET IN WHICH THE POLICE OFFICER WOULD HAVE BLAMED ME FOR. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH A "ALTERNATOR" REPAIR. THIS REPAIR DOESN'T APPLY TO THE CURRENT RECALL FROM 10/8/2014 BECAUSE I HAVE A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR WITH A 3.6L ENGINE, BUT NOT A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR WITH A 3.6L ENGINE.

WAS 4 HOURS FROM HOME. WAS DRIVING ON SIDE ROAD BUT HAD JUST LEFT A HIGHWAY, WHEN IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD HIT SOMETHING EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS CLEARLY NOTHING IN THE ROAD. LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON. I NO LONGER HAD ANY CONTROL OF THE CAR. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. COULDN'T SWITCH GEARS TO PARK. HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. THEN CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF AND FILLED WITH SMOKE SMELL. I EXPECTED IT TO CATCH FIRE ANY SECOND. AFTER 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO APPROACH CAR AND GET TO TURN OFF (AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS). TURNED OUT TO BE THE ALTERNATOR. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 160 VOLT ALTERNATOR AS THIS APPARENTLY HAPPENED OFTEN, HOWEVER MINE WAS A 180 VOLT ALTERNATOR SO WAS NOT COVERED. SAME ISSUE AS THE 160 BUT NOT COVERED. NOR WAS I AWARE THAT I HAD AN UNSAFE ALTERNATOR IN THE CAR I WAS DRIVING (WITH MY CHILD).

ALTERNATOR WENT OUT, CAR WENT INTO BATTERY SAVER MODE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD/WEAK. CHANGED IT OUT, AND AFTER 2 MONTHS I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER'S SUPPLIER FOR THESE ALTERNATORS. I HAVE SEEN THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,409.

I FOUND A RECALL FOR CHRYSLER 300 (N65), BUT IT'S ONLY FOR A 3.6L MODEL. I HAVE A 5.7L HEMI AWD AND THE OUTPUT SHAFT JUST BROKE WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE... THERE HAS TO BE OTHERS. I JUST HAD ANOTHER RECALL FIXED ON THIS CAR. THEY JUST NEED TO RECALL THIS ENTIRE MODEL. IS THERE ANY CHANCE 5.7L WILL ALSO BE RECALLED ON THIS ISSUE?

ON 22 MAR 2017, MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300 STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND NOTICE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM MY ALTINATOR. GETTING IN TOUCH WITH MY INSURANCE TO SET UP A TOW TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE THE MY ALTINATOR CAUGHT ON FIRE, QUICKLY PUTTING IT. CONTINUING WITH MY CONVERSATION IT STARTED UP AGAIN FOR A 2ND TIME. FINALLY ONCE THE TOW TRUCK SHOULD UP, THEY TOOK IT TO COLORADO SPRINGS DODGE, 7455 AUSTIN BLUFFS PKWY COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80923 719-475-8550. I ASK THEM IF THEY HAD ANY RECALLS FOR THIS UNUSUAL PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME NO, I ENDED UP PAYING IT OUT OF POCKET, $936.35 TO REPLACE THE ALTINATOR AND BATTERY. I SEE TODAY THAT YOUR WEBSITE HAS SHOWN ME THEIR ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTINATOR FAILING. IF THERE'S ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PASS DOWN TO ME TO HELP ME GET MY MONEY BACK I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THE CAR SIMPLY SHUT DOWN, NO WARNING, DRIVING ABOUT 60 ON AN INTERSTATE. NOTHING WOULD WORK, POWER-STEERING WAS OUT, NO BRAKES, NOTHING. THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON "SOME" OF THE VEHICLES WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR BUT IT APPEARS THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO VEHICLES WITH DIFFERENT TYPE ENGINES OR AMPS. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS AND CHRYSLER'S DEALERSHIPS, CUSTOMER SERVICE, ETC....SIMPLY SAY NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. THESE CARS ARE DEATHTRAPS WAITING TO HAPPEN.....THE CARS SIMPLY STOP!!!!

VEHICLE ALERTED "BATTERY SAVER MODE" AND SHUT DOWN MANY OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED DRIVING AND CALLED AAA BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED AND ATTEMPTED TO TOW, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER TURN ON. BROUGHT TO LOCAL DEALER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED AND FRIED THE BATTERY. SINCE I HAVE THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. FROM MY RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR ARE HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AS THE 160AMP ALTERNATORS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING RECALLED.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FUNNY. JOLTS DURING SHIFT AND IT HESITATES TO SHIFT GEAR AT PICK UP SPEED. IT'S A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT COULD CUASE AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

I HAVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 300S. WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED AROUND 45 MPH IN CITY DRIVING, CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING LEFT AT FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SECONDS LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY LEAVING ME WITH NO OR LITTLE CONTROL OVER STEERING. THE RADIO TURNED OFF, LIGHTS IN CAR STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF, SCREENS ON THE DASH TURNED WHITE, AND ALL ERROR LIGHTS ON DASH TURNED ON. BURNING ELECTRICAL/RUBBER SMELL FILLED THE CAR. ALL ISSUES IDENTICAL TO THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000. I CHECKED MY VIN TO SEE IF MY CAR WOULD BE COVERED BUT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON EXACT MODELS OF MY CAR THAT WERE ALSO NOT COVERED. I AM VERY THANKFUL MY CAR WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEFORE ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT US BECAUSE MY KIDS OR MYSELF PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN WORST, KILLED. ONCE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I TRIED RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WOULD TRY TO START BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO TURN OVER. ALL LIGHTS AND SWITCHES INSIDE THE CAR WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF, HEATER WAS BLOWING WHEN WE HAD IT SET TO AC, PUSHING ON THE BREAK WOULD TURN OFF ALL LIGHTS IN THE CAR, ETC. I HOPE WITH ALL THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINT, AND POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, THEY WILL CONSIDER RECALLING THE ADDITIONAL MODELS OF ALTERNATORS THEY ARE CLEARLY HAVING THE SAME DEFECTS.

EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS CUSTOMERS ARE REPORTING FOR NHSTA CAMPAIGN 1V634000. HOWEVER, MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT HAS A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR AND THE RECALL IS FOR 160 AMP ALTERNATORS. I HAD SUDDEN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL INSIDE CAR AND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. DEALER REPLACED ALTERNATOR UNDER MY SERVICE CONTRACT (OUT OF WARRANT) SO IT COST ME $100.00 INSTEAD OF 700-900 DOLLARS. IT PRETTY CLEAR THESE 180 AMP ALTERNATORS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CHRYSLER ONLY CARES ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE. I WANT MY $100.00 BACK CHRYSLER.

ALTERNATOR WENT OUT. IT'S A RECALL ON THOUSANDS OF CAR BUT SUPPOSEDLY NOT THIS CAR. CAR LOST POWER WILL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300.

UPON EXITING VEHICLE (WHILE PLACING ROCKER GEAR SHIFT IN PARK POSITION), VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY IN REVERSE DOWN INCLINED DRIVEWAY. PERSONAL INJURY AND VEHICLE BODY DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO RIGHT REAR LOWER PANEL.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 300S THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH BEGAN TO FLASH. A FEW MINUTES LATER MY RADIO CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON. ABOUT A MINUTE LATER I GOT A MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT SAID "BATTERY SAVER MODE". I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING... NOTHING. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN A POSITION WHERE I NEEDED TO AVOID HITTING OTHER CARS BECAUSE I COULD NOT STEER. I THEN STARTED TO SMELL BURNING RUBBER. AFTER THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AGAIN AND THEN THE WIPERS CAME ON. (THEY WERE NOT TURNED ON.) THE WIPERS SLOWED AND THEN THE CAR WENT TOTALLY DEAD (AGAIN). I GOOGLED "BATTERY SAVER MODE" AND SAW THAT IT WAS MY ALTERNATOR. I THEN SAW THAT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL OUT FOR THEIR ALTERNATORS SO I CALLED THEIR RECALL CENTER. I WAS TOLD THAT, "YES, THERE WAS A RECALL." AND I HAD THE RIGHT KIND OF CAR AND THE RIGHT ENGINE BUT MY ALTERNATOR WAS 180 AMPS. (THEY ONLY RECALLED THE 160 AMPS.) I READ MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS AND THEIR EXPERIENCE WAS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MINE. AND I ALSO READ THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE WITH THE 180 AMPS HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND WAS ALSO TOLD THE SAME THING AS I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER ("AT THIS TIME WE ONLY HAVE A RECALL OUT FOR 160 AMP ALTERNATORS. SAVE YOUR RECEIPT AND IF AND WHEN WE DO A RECALL ON THE 180 AMPS WE WILL REIMBURSE YOU."). REALLY!? MY TOTAL COST WAS $1260 (ALTERNATOR, BATTERY AND A BELT). COME ON CHRYSLER YOU KNOW THAT THESE ALTERNATORS ARE BAD (BOTH 160 AND 180)! I GUESS UNTIL SOMEONE REPORTS A DEATH THEY WON'T RECALL THE 180 AMP. I WOULD TELL ANY BUYER OF THE 300 TO BEWARE. I PERSONALLY WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER AGAIN. (I HAVE OWNED 2.) NO MATTER HOW COOL THEY LOOK.

ON 7.4.16 AT APPROXIMATELY 9PM, I WAS AT A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. SUDDENLY, MY CAR RADIO SHUT DOWN, AND ON THE INFORMATION SCREEN, A 'BATTERY SAFE MODE' MESSAGE APPEARED. THEN THE LIGHTS WENT DIM, THE INFO-SCREEN FLASHED WHITE, AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED MOVING VERY SLOWLY. AT THAT POINT, I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT IT OFF, BUT THE SHIFTER WAS NOT RESPONSIVE. THEN, ALL THE SCREENS WENT OUT AND THE CAR DIED. I CALLED MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO COME TO EITHER JUMP OR TOW MY CAR. THE TECHNICIAN SHOWED UP AND TRIED TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR SHOP DISCOVERED THAT THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR WAS FRIED (IN THEIR WORDS) AND THE ALTERNATOR FRIED THE BATTERY AS WELL. THE REPAIRS TOTALED APPROXIMATELY NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS! (NOTE) THE FIRST NEW ALTERNATOR THEY INSTALLED WAS FAULTY. FOR A CAR UNDER 3 YEARS OLD, MAINTAINED IMPECCABLY, THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE AN ALTERNATOR FAIL IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER CORP. AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR IN THE CHRYSLER 300. I ASKED AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER FOR BOTH THE 160 AND 180 AMP ALTERNATORS IS THE SAME. THE RECALL (OCTOBER 8, 2014) FOR THE SMALLER 160 AMP ALTERNATOR IS ; NHTSA RECALL #14V-634, AND CHRYSLER RECALL # P60 RESPECTIVELY. IT SEEMS LIKE THE PROBLEM EXISTS ON BOTH ALTERNATORS. CHRYSLER CORP. SHOULD TAKE A PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE STANCE AT THIS POINT.

MY VEHICLE IS A CHRYSLER 300S AND HAS AUTO SHIFT "PADDLES" LOCATED A FEW INCHES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE AUDIO SYSTEM CONTROLS. ANY SLIGHT TOUCH TO THESE PADDLES WHILE DRIVING CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO IMMEDIATELY DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR, REGARDLESS OF HOW FAST YOU ARE TRAVELING. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL THIS DOWNSHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM, BUT I STRONGLY DISAGREE. I CAN SEE THE RPMS SOAR AS MY VEHICLE TRIES TO GO 70 MPH IN FIRST GEAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ADD-ON THAT FEW DRIVERS WANT OR NEED. I HAVE ASKED WHETHER THESE "PADDLES" CAN BE DISABLED AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION. THESE PADDLES ARE NOT ONLY WORTHLESS TO THE AVERAGE DRIVER, BUT ARE A MAJOR HAZARD ON THE HIGHWAY. LESS THAN 30 MINUTES AFTER I BOUGHT MY NEW VEHICLE IT SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE ON CHICAGO EXPRESSWAYS TRAVELING AT OVER 70 MPH. I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO PULL INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND STOP. ONCE I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT, THE CAR WAS IN THE CORRECT GEAR, BUT THEN I HAD THE PROBLEM OF MERGING INTO 70 MPH TRAFFIC ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. SINCE THEN, I HAVE LEARNED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHENEVER THE "PADDLES" ENGAGE - A VERY POOR SOLUTION WHEN DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAYS. I VIEW THESE "PADDLES" AS AN POORLY CONCEIVED ENGINEERING IDEA THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE THIS INADVERTENT DOWNSHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR CAUSES ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS. I ALSO WONDER WHAT ALL OF THIS DOWNSHIFTING IS DOING TO QUALITY OF MY TRANSMISSION. - [XXX] , CHICAGO, IL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING ON FREEWAY BATTERY SAVER MODE CAME ON THEN AFTER ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH STATED FLASHING THEN AFTER MY CAR STALLED I HAVE NO CONTROL IN MY VEHICLE THEN ALMOST CRASH INTO SOMEONES VECHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300S ON THE HIGHWAY THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH STARTING FLASHING. ABOUT ANOTHER MILE MY RADIO SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I CAME UPON MY EXIT AND STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT AND THEN MY STABILITY CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE A LITTLE FURTHER AND I HEARD THIS WHINING NOISE AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP. I CHECKED THE MESSAGE AND IT SAID "BATTERY SAVER MODE". I TURNED IN TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND RIGHT WHEN I WAS TURNING THE CORNER THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL (NO POWER STEERING) AND NO BRAKES. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AGAIN AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON I LOOKED AT THE CONTROL AND THEY WERE NOT TURNED ON AND I COULD NOT TURN THEM OFF. EVENTUALLY THE WIPERS STOPPED AND ALL POWER WAS LOST, NO INSIDE LIGHTS, NO RADIO, NO TOUCH SCREEN, NO HEAD LIGHTS...NOTHING! I GOOGLED "BATTERY SAVER MODE" AND READ THAT IT WAS POSSIBLY MY ALTERNATOR. I THEN SAW WHERE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CHRYSLER ALTERNATORS WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SAME SCENARIO THAT I JUST HAD, SO CALLED THE RECALL CENTER. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE 160 AMP (I HAVE 180). FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE 180 AMPS ALSO, BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT RECALLED THOSE. I WAS TOLD BY THE RECALL CENTER TO HOLD ON TO MY RECEIPTS FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE "IF AND WHEN" THEY DO A RECALL ON THE 180 AMPS I CAN BE REIMBURSED. MEAN WHILE THOSE OF US WITH THE 180 AMPS ARE TAKING A CHANCE ON OUR LIVES! COME ON CHRYSLER YOU ALL KNOW THAT THESE ALTERNATORS ARE BAD....180 AND 160 AMPS!!!

ALTERNATOR FAILED UBRUPTLY ON 2/19/16 AT APPROX 3PM I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300 BEGAN TO MAKE A NOISE FROM THE FRONT ENGINE AREA AND I NOTICED WHAT TO SEEM LIKE A RUBBER BURNING TYPE ODOR. I KEPT DRIVING AND SUDDENLY MY BATTERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE ON MY CONSOLE INDICATING "BATTERY SAVING MODE". WITHOUT FURTHER WARNING, MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. MY DAUGHTER AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE WHEN SMOKE BEGAN TO FILL THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE ALTERNATOR WAS MAKING A CRACKLING AND SIZZLING NOISE AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR ON TO ROLL UP MY WINDOWS AND THERE WAS NO POWER. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND A TOW TRUCK WAS DISPATCHED. THE TOW GUY INDICATED THAT IT APPEARED IT WAS TOTAL ALTERNATOR FAILURE AND AS A RESULT MY BATTERY WAS ALSO "FRIED". THE TOW GUY HAD TO UNLOCK THE GEARS MANUALLY IN ORDER TO MANUVER THE CAR ONTO THE TOWING BED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ROGERS & ROGERS AUTO ON 2/20/16 IN THE A.M. AT ABOUT 12 NOON THE TECHNICIAN CALLED TO INFORM THAT IN FACT THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY AS WELL. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 2015. HE SUGGESTED WE CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR INFORMATION OTHERWISE WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPAIRS.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL IN JAN 2015 CONCERNING THE ALTERNATOR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP 8 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME I AM ON THE LIST AND THEY WILL GET TO ME. WE ARE NOW GOING ON 14 MONTHS AND NO ACTION.

IN OCTOBER 2015 I WAS DRIVING DRIVING MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300 V6 AWD (WITH 25,000 MILES) ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY (CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON) WHEN I DECIDED TO PASS A SEMI-TRUCK THAT WAS TRAVELING WELL BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. WHEN I ACCELERATED TO WIDE OPEN THROTTLE (WOT) TO PASS THE TRUCK I MOVED INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE AND SAW A CAR IN THE DISTANCE. I CHANGED MY MIND, RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL, AND APPLIED THE BRAKES; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO PRODUCE FULL POWER (APPX 4,500-5,000 RPM) FOR ANOTHER 4-5 SECONDS. I APPLIED THE BRAKES FULLY AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR AND SAFELY GET BACK TO THE RIGHT LANE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER OF THE INCIDENT DURING A SERVICE VISIT AND HIS RESPONSE WAS THAT THE THROTTLE IS DRIVE BY WIRE AND THERE IS NO CABLE THAT CAN GET STUCK. HIS SOLUTION WAS TO CHECK THE FLOOR MAT AND MAKE SURE IT WAS ON THE PEDAL AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO BRING THE CAR IN AND THEY WILL CHECK IT OUT. I REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT AFTER THE INCIDENT (CURRENTLY IN THE TRUNK) AND DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE. HOWEVER, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON MONDAY DECEMBER 21, 2015 AND TOLD ME A VERY SIMILAR STORY (WENT TO FULL THROTTLE FOR 1-2 SECONDS AND WHEN SHE RELEASED THE PEDAL IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE). I ALREADY HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SATURDAY WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND WILL REPORT THE ISSUE DURING THE VISIT.

IN YEAR 2013 BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CHRYSLER 300C 2013 ZERO MILE FOR $45,000, I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER SERVICE CENTER ON DAYTONA BEACH FOR OIL CHANGE AND I GOT TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES. I ASK THEM HOW CAN A 15,000 MILES CAR WILL NEED NEW TIRES AND THEY TOLD ME FIRESTONE DON'T GIVE ANY KIND WARRANTY TO THE TIRES THE SELL TO CHRYSLER MANUFACTURE FOR BRAND NEW CAR AND THOSE WAS LESS QUALITY TO THE TIRES THEY SELL ON THE TIRES CENTERS. WE CALLED THE FIRESTONE AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING NO WARRANTY ON THOSE NEW TIRES BECAUSE THE TIRES THEY SELL TO CAR'S MANUFACTURE ARE LESS QUALITY.AND IF I BUY THE FIRESTONE TIRES FROM ANY TIRE CENTER I WILL GET 50,000 MILES WARRANTY. NOW I HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES BUT FOR SURE WILL NOT BE FIRESTONE AND PAY FOR ON MY NEW CAR WITH 15,000 MILES ONLY, YES I NEVER SAW NEW TIRES LAST 15,000 MILES ONLY. THAT IS WHY I WANT TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND TIRES CHRYSLER IS BUYING FOR NEW CAR WITH LESS QUALITY WHAT SHOULD HAVE, CHRYSLER AND FIRESTONE ARE SAVING MONEY GIVING TO THE CONSUMER LESS QUALITY OF TIRES WHAT CAN BE DANGER BECAUSE FOR A TIRE ONLY LAST 15,000 HAVE TO BE REALLY BAD QUALITY MATERIAL HEY ARE USING.. I'M SURE THOSE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE FOR NO ONE. THANK YOU

WHILE DRIVING USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR SEEMS TO HESITATE FOR A SECOND, DROP INTO A LOWER GEAR AND THE TOP SPEED IS LIMITED - THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS GO ON. A MESSAGE ALSO APPEARS SAYING "FCW OFF", AND THE ACC WILL NOT WORK. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING REMOVES ALL INDICATIONS OF THE PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WHICH GOES OFF EVENTUALLY. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A DEALER WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LIGHT WENT OUT WHILE TESTING, OTHER TIME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, BUT UPDATED SOFTWARE AND REPLACED A SWITCH. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON LONG TRIPS AND MUCH TO MY PERSONNEL CONCERNS WHEN I'M IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR CONKS OUT.

THE ABS AND TRANSACTION LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED A LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID BRING IN FOR SERVICE. THREE MILES UP THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SUFFERED A TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK OR ANY GEAR. THE TOWING COMPANY HAD PROBLEMS FLAT BEDDING THE CAR TO MY DEALER ROUTE 18 CHRYSLER IN EAST BRUNSWICK NJ. UPON REPAIR THE DEALER INDICATED THAT LEFT DRIVER SIDE ABS SYSTEM FAILED. THE ONBOARD COMPUTERS STORED DTTC CODES BOTH FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND ABS SYSTEMS. NO ONE KNOWS WHY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ALLOW THE CAR TO BE DRIVEN. THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY FLAW IN THIS VEHICLE THAT IS GOING TO RESULT IN A FATAL CRASH. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.

I BOUGHT A CHRYSLER 300 ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS 7 MONTHS LATER. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS I GOT IN THE CAR TO START IT AND THERE WAS NO POWER, I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO FIND WHERE THE BATTERY WAS LOCATED. THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS WENT TO START IT AGAIN STILL NO POWER. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACE WITH A NEW ONE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS PASSED AND I RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR, ONCE AGAIN I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR ON MAY 2015. NOW THIS IS MEMORIAL WEEKEND GO TO DRIVE MY CAR ONCE AGAIN AND THE CAR HAS NO POWER AND NO ONE IS OPEN CAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY TO FIX MY CAR.

WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR, ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE, I ACCELERATED TO AVOID A SUDDENLY SWERVING 18-WHEELER. MY CAR CONTINUED ACCELERATION AFTER I RELEASED THE PEDAL. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO STOP. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (AND AVAILABLE, GIVEN ROAD WORK AND FAST, HEAVY TRAFFIC), I PULLED OVER TO THE INSIDE SHOULDER AND GAINED CONTROL BY USING FULL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE AS WELL AS ENGAGING THE PARKING BRAKE. THE CAR CONTINUED REVVING HIGH. CALLED CONROE DEMONTROND FOR HELP, AS THAT IS WHERE I BOUGHT THIS CAR, AND THEY CONNECTED ME TO A TOWING COMPANY, WHICH WAS USELESS AS CAR COULDN'T BE SWITCHED OFF -- I HAD MANAGED TO PUT CAR INTO NEUTRAL, BUT ENGINE WOULDN'T STOP REVVING, AND I WASN'T ABLE TO PUT IT INTO PARK OR TO STOP THE CAR. I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION BETWEEN TWO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS: SEND MY CHILD ONTO THE PACKED HIGHWAY, OR HAVE HER REMAIN IN THE CAR WITH ME, WHICH I WAS GROWING ALARMED MIGHT EXPLODE GIVEN THE HIGH REVOLUTION AND ACCOMPANYING NOISE. I SENT HER OUT WITH THE CAR FOB. AFTER WHAT SEEMED FOREVER, THE CAR SHUT DOWN, AS THE FOB WAS GONE FOR LONG ENOUGH. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME, AS I WAS RETURNING FROM THE TRIP I HAD TO TAKE DURING THE FIRST PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR "SNAPPED OUT OF IT" MORE EASILY. DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A VERY HARD TIME ABOUT THIS, AND IN THE END SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY RE-SET THE COMPUTER, AND FOR A BIT OVER A MONTH, IT SEEMED OKAY WITH A FEW HICCUPS, BUT EVENTUALLY, THE CAR HAS BEGUN TO "STICK" ON ACCELERATION AGAIN, AND OCCASIONALLY NOW LAGS, OR MISSES, BEFORE ACCELERATION. I RECEIVED NOTE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR FROM THE MANUFACTURER MONTHS AGO. THIS MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR THE CAR'S PROBLEM, BUT IT IS DOUBTFUL AS FAR AS THE STICKING GOES, SINCE THE PROBLEM LISTED BY THE NOTICE IS STALLING. I DO WONDER IF IT MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR THE NEWER PROBLEM, THOUGH. YESTERDAY, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED

ON 05/10/2015 DURING THE AFTERNOON I TURNED ON MY AC AND IT BLEW WARM AIR. I DON'T USE MY AC VERY MUCH DUE TO INCREASE FUEL USAGE BECAUSE I DRIVE 76 MILES TWICE A DAY 4 DAYS A WEEK, BUT ON THAT DAY WHEN I REALLY NEEDED IT IT WASN'T WORKING. I BOUGHT MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300S NEW ON 06/02/2013 AND THE ONE TIME I DROVE CAR TO VEGAS IT WAS WORKING FINE AS A MATTER OF FACT IT WAS BLOWING EXTREMELY COLD AIR WHICH WAS GREAT. I TRIED CALLING THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT, BUT BECAUSE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN'T OR WONT HELP ME WITH IT.

I ALREADY HAD NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS HAD FLASHED THE ALTERNATOR WITH THE LIGHTNING BOLT TWICE RECENTLY. THEN MY CRUISE WENT OUT, ABS SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE DAYS AFTER I REVIEWED THE RECALL NOTICE I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICES AT [XXX] IN SAVANNAH GA, OFF ABERCORN ST. WHEN THE SERVICE PERSON TOOK MY CAR I IDENTIFIED THE ISSUES AND HE SAID THAT HE WILL CHECK IT OVER TO INCLUDE CHECKING THE WHEEL SENSORS. NOTING THE WHEEL SENSORS SPECIFICALLY, MADE ME A BIT SUSPICIOUS. LATER HE CALLED ME AND STATED THAT A WHEEL SENSOR WENT BAD AND IT WAS NOT RELATIONAL TO THE RECALL NOTICE. HE SAID HE HAS THE PART AND IT WOULD BE $187 TO FIX IT. I STATED THAT THE NOTICE STATES THAT THE WHEEL SENSOR COULD BE IMPACTED. HE SAID, NO SIR IT READS THE MODULE NOT THE SENSOR AND THEY ARE NOT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. I FIND THIS TECHNICALITY NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER AND I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS 39K MILES ON IT, IS SERVICED REGULARLY AND HAS NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE CRUISE, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL GOING OUT AT THE SAME TIME HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL.

I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. I SLIGHTLY TOUCHED MY BRAKES AND THE CAR STALLED AND DIDN'T AND WOULDN'T GET SPEED OF EXHAUSTION. A CAR CAME SPEEDING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND COLLIDED INTO THE REAR OF VEHICLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK OR FORWARD THE CALL TO UPPER MANAGEMENT. I SPOKE WITH DRAKE DM1915 THIS MORNING THAT WASN'T HELPFUL OR SENTIMENTAL TO THE ISSUES. VERY ARROGANT AND UNCONCERNED. I HAD ANOTHER ENCOUNTER IN THE SNOW ON 02/23/2015 WHERE I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR IN MY WORK PARKING LOT BECAUSE MY BRAKES WOULD NOT TRACTION THE ROAD AND MADE A NOISE. I'M AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. *TR

ON FRIDAY MARCH 7, 2015 MY CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OF MY HOME AND THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED.

THE DEALER STATED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING BEFORE, HOWEVER I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS. *TR

THIS CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT CHRYSLER, APPARENTLY WITH THE BLESSING OF THE US GOVERNMENT, HAS FAILED TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIR. SINCE CHRYSLER IS STILL SELLING THE 300 MODEL THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE CORRECT PARTS TO FIX/REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. CONSEQUENTLY, MY COMPLAINT IS AGAINST BOTH CHRYSLER AND THE US GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER. *TR

THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) DOES NOT WORK. INFO I HAVE RECEIVED IS THAT FCW WAS PART OF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) AND ONLY WORKS AS PART OF THAT SYSTEM. THE CHRYSLER MANUAL DOES NOT SAY THAT THE ACC HAS TO BE ON FOR FCW TO WORK. FCW IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TOPIC FROM ACC IN THE MANUAL. FCW IS SUPPOSED TO WORK WHEN YOU COME UP BEHIND A CAR EVEN WITHOUT THE ACC ON. IN MY CAR THE FCW ACTIVATES AT TIMES WHEN THE ACC IS OFF AND IT PICKS UP SOMETHING ON THE RIGHT SUCH AS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME TURNING RIGHT ONTO ANOTHER ROAD. OTHER MANUFACTURES SUCH AS FORD AND HYUNDAI HAVE FCW THAT WORKS WITHOUT THE ACC ON. WHILE NOT RELIEVING THE DRIVER FROM NEEDING TO BRAKE, FCW IS A SAFETY FEATURE I PAID FOR, AND I WANT IT TO WORK. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO TRY TO GET THE FCW FIXED WITH NO SUCCESS . *TR

DEATH TRAP...I AM DULY NOTICED (P60/NHTSA 14V-634) OF A DEFECT IN MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300 PURCHASED FROM BILL LUKE CHRYSLER JEEP & DODGE INC. ON 11/25/2012 IN THE AMOUNT OF $33,768.39. THE NOTICE CAME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC TO SPECIFIC OWNERS. HUGE TYPE..."IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" CHRYSLER GROUP TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE NO TIMELINE FOR COMPLETING THE REPAIR...IN FACT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. IT APPEARS THAT THE PART NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED BEFORE CHRYSLER GROUP CAN BEGIN THE REPAIR PROCESS. A "REASONABLE" TIME FOR COMPLETING THE REPAIR IS NOT ON THE TABLE. BILL LUKE CHRYSLER JEEP & DODGE, INC. AND CHRYSLER GROUP LLC HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE LOANER OR RENTAL CARS DURING THE TIME IT WILL TAKE TO COMPLETE REPAIRS ON THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. I REFUSE TO OPERATE A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE BEEN DULY NOTICED IS DEFECTIVE AND MIGHT BE THE INSTRUMENT CAUSING ACCIDENTAL PROPERTY AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO ME, MY FAMILY, OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE. THE DEATH TRAP HAS BEEN STORED SINCE 12/15/14. ACTUALLY, THIS CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL IS A DIABOLICALLY CLEVER CYA. OWNERS ARE FORCED TO EITHER PARK THE VEHICLE FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD AND BE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE THEY PURCHASED...OR, DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND BY VIRTUE OF BEING FOREWARNED OF THE DEFECTIVE NATURE OF THE VEHICLE, BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PERSONAL OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE DEFECT. IT APPEARS THAT NHTSA IS A WILLING PARTNER WITH CHRYSLER TO THIS CYA. NHTSA SHIELDS CHRYSLER FROM LEGAL ACTION. THIS TRAVESTY MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE. I HAVE SENT AT LEAST TWO EMAIL MESSAGES TO NHTSA STAFF AND ONE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. I CAN'T TRADE A RECOGNIZED DEATH TRAP WITHOUT SUFFERING UNREASONABLE FINANCIAL COST AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT WITHOUT ACCEPTING AND UNREASONABLE DEATH TRAP RISK. RECALL # 14V634000.

THE CHRYSLER 300C WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. TRIED TO START IT AND NOTHING HAPPENED. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) LIGHT FLASHED. ALL SYMPTOMS POINTED TO A LOW BATTERY. JUMP STARTED 300 FROM OUR OTHER CAR AND DROVE TO THE DEALER. BY THE TIME I GOT THERE THE BATTERY WAS CHARGED FROM THE GENERATOR. DEALER KEPT IT FOR 5 DAYS AND COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THERE WERE OTHER ANOMALIES ON THE ROAD. CAR WOULD EITHER NOT ACCELERATE OR ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING. THIS BECAME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE INTERSTATE. COUPLE WEEKS PASSED AND START PROBLEM REPEATED, BUT THIS TIME THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. ONE SYMPTOM I NOTICED WAS THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH YOU HAVE TO DEPRESS WHILE ACTIVATING THE PUSH BUTTON START WAS LOCKED AND WOULDN'T MOVE. REPEATED THE ABOVE DRILL WITH THE SAME RESULTS. THIS TIME, DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR 11 DAYS AND COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. ALL ALONG I'M PAYING LEASE AND AUTO INSURANCE FEES FOR A CAR THAT'S SITTING AT THE DEALER. DEALER SAID THEY UPDATED SOME OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLERS PER SOME TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS, BUT THAT THEY WEREN'T RELATED TO MY "NO START/DEAD BATTERY" ISSUES. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THEY KNEW OF NO COMPLAINTS, RECALLS, ETC. RELATED TO THE ABOVE. HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS RECENTLY.

HIGH AND LOW BEAMS SUCK. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CHRYSLER 300C ARE TERRIBLE. ON HIGH BEAM THEY ARE IN THE TREES, LOW BEAM THEY ARE STRAIGHT AHEAD NO SIDE LIGHTING. NOT A SAFE SITUATION. *TR

HEADLIGHTS ARE NEARLY USELESS. CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY AT NIGHT. DEALER STATES HEADLIGHTS ARE ALIGNED AND WORKING NORMALLY. STATE VEHICLE INSPENCTION STATED HEADLIGHTS AIMED OK. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE A PEDESTRIAN IS HIT OR SOMEONE DRIVES OFF THE ROAD. IT IS UNSAFE TO DIRVE ON INTERSTATE AT NIGHT OVER 40 MPH BECAUSE YOU OVERDRIVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS. IF THERE IS NO ONE TO FOLLOW YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. ONE MUST DRIVE SIDE ROADS WITH HI BEAMS ON ALL THE TIME. HEADLIGHTS AIM IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. TURNING OFF THE CAPABILITY OF THE HEADLIGHTS TO MOVE SIDE TO SIDE WITH STEERING DOES NOT HELP. MY 2006 CHRYLSER 300 DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND OUR 2102 DODGE CHARGER DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I WILL GLADLY SUBMIT VEHICLE TO NSTSA FOR INSPECTION/TEST. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW CHRYSLER 300S AND THE VERY FIRST TIME I DROVE IT AT NIGHT I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW DIM THE HEADLIGHTS WERE. YOU CAN BARELY SEE 10 - 15 FEET IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE SINCE BEEN LOOKING INTO CHANGING THE BULBS TO SOMETHING ELSE TO SEE IF THAT WILL HELP. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THAT KIND OF LIMITED VISION. I LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA AND THERE AREN'T MANY STREET LIGHTS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS SOMETHING CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO AND FIX FOR ALL OF US DRIVING UNSAFE AT NIGHT. *TR

ELECTRONIC SHIFTER FREQUENTLY, UNABLE TO CHANGE FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE OR REVERSE TO DRIVE IN A TIMELY MANNER. SITUATION: STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, AUTO IN DRIVE, TO AVOID AN ONCOMING VEHICLE MUST SHIFT INTO REVERSE. OFTEN RESULT: 1(FOOT MUST BE ON BRAKE, THEN D>P, OR D>N, OR D STAYS D, OR ANY COMBINATION. 2)(AS MOST DRIVERS HAVE DONE) ENTERING TRAFFIC IN D OR R. NOT SEEING ONCOMING HAZARD, NEEDING TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS QUICKLY, SHIFTING TO THE CORRECT GEAR OFTEN NOT ACCOMPLISHED. *TR

I IN OCTOBER OF 2013 I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER 300 NEW FROM CENTRAL CHRYSLER IN RAYNHAM MA. IT HAS A 36000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AS WELL AS A 15000 MILE NO HASSLE WARRANTY. MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHIFT HARSHLY (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) IN FEBRUARY OF 2014, AND I RECEIVED SERVICE IN APRIL OF 2014. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED A PART THAT WAS NOT YET MANUFACTURED BY CHRYSLER, BUT THAT I WOULD HAVE THE PART IN LATE MAY OR EARLY JUNE. NOT ONLY HAVE I NOT RECEIVED THE PART, I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER CORPORATE THAT THE PART IS NOT EVEN IN DEVELOPMENT. THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING EXCEPT REVALUE THE CAR AT A SIGNIFICANT LOSS TO ME FINANCIALLY AND THAT IS PREDATORY AND INAPPROPRIATE. I HAVE INVOLVED THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REVISIT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE CURRENTLY. I AM DRIVING AND PAYING FOR A CAR THAT IS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" WHICH IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH NO FIX OFFERED, IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE WARRANTY. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO 2 ADDITIONAL DEALERSHIPS WITH NO FIXES OR REPAIRS POSSIBLE AS OF YET. THIS IS A BADLY DESIGNED CAR WITH EXTREMELY POOR SERVICE FROM BOTH CORPORATE AND DEALERSHIP LEVELS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, I EXPERIENCED A JERKING FROM THE CAR WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS AND WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER DOING THIS FOR AWHILE IT BECAME EVEN MORE NOTICEABLE. ONE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE, I FELT THE JERKING AGAIN AND A STALLING WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR THE SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATE START IT BACK AGAIN AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON UNTIL THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. WAS INFORMED THEN THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT THEY WONT BE ABLE TO FIX IT. THEY GAVE THE VEHICLE BACK IN THE SAME CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP THE NEXT WEEK AND THEY NOTICED THE SAME THING AND SAID THE SAME THING AND THAT CHRYSLER WOULDN'T AUTHORIZE THEM TO FIX IT. I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AS WELL AND THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER AS TO WHY. BRAND NEW VEHICLE PURCHASED IN JANUARY THAT HAS LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AND KEEP BEEN TOLD ITS THE TRANSMISSION. I STILL HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE ITS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION BUT ITS STILL BAD. *TR

I WAS BACKING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY DAD'S HOUSE ..THERE WAS RECYCLING BINS TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY WHICH I WAS GONG TO HIT IF NOT MOVED OR IF I DID NOT RE-POSITION THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY. I STOPPED THE CAR AND DECIDED NOT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR TO MOVE THE RECYCLING BINS BUT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE TO RE-POSITION THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY ....STEPPED ON THE GAS ..AND BAM...BAMM...IN 3 SECONDS I WENT LIKE A BAT OUT OF [XXX]...THROUGH THE 2 CLOSED GARAGE DOORS AND THE CONCRETE WALL BETWEEN THE TWO CLOSED DOORS AND COMING TO A STOP AFTER CRASHING INTO THEIR DINING ROOM EXTERIOR WALL. IT TOOK TWO TIMES PUSHING THE STARTER BUTTON BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF. IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST....I MAY HAVE HAD MY FOOT ON BOTH THE GAS AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME (THEY ARE PRETTY CLOSE TOGETHER) AND THE GAS TOOK OVER PROPELLING THE CAR FORWARD THROUGH THE GARAGE.WHEN APPLIED AT THE SAME TIME WHICH IS PROGRAMMED TO TAKE OVER???THE GAS OR THE BRAKE? THERE SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL DIFFERENT QUIRKY THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THAT CAR WITH ME ON THAT SCARY DAY IN MARCH. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE NOR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED, DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL BACK UP IT'S BEEN TO THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OUR DODGE CARAVAN I'M SO OVER CHRYSLER CAUSE WE KEEP HAVING SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND SUNROOF EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO ROCKS OR ANY ADVERSE WEATHER. *TR

JUST PURCHASED USED CHRYSLER 300 IN CLERMONT FL.FROM CHRYSLER DEALER. DROVE THE CAR HOME TO TN. OUR HOME IS RURAL AREA IN SUBDIVISION ON LAKE AND MOST ROADS IN THIS AREA ARE RURAL HWYS. AND STREETS. THE DAY AFTER GETTING HOME MY WIFE AND I WENT TO DINNER AT RESTAURANT APPROX. 25 MILES AWAY. BY TIME WE STARTED HOME IT WAS DARK AND IMMEDIATELY, AS SOON AS I TURNED ONTO UNLIT STATE ROAD, VISIBILITY ON LOW BEAMS WAS ALMOST NON EXISTENT GOING DOWNHILL AND IN DIPS. THE LOW BEAMS ILLUMINATE ONLY 10-20 FT. IN FRONT OF THE CAR WITH ALMOST NO SIDE ILLUMINATION IN DIPS AND DOWNHILLS. OTHER DRIVERS WITH SAME COMPLAINT CALL IT A SHUTTER OR TUNNEL EFFECT AND I AGREE. SIDE ROADS AND STREET TURNS ARE VERY DIFFICULT AS YOU CAN NOT SEE EITHER READILY. SINCE THEN MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR AND HAD TO COME HOME IN DARK AND SAID SEE NEARLY WRECKED BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN DESIGN AND MUST BE ADDRESSED BEFORE (IF IT NOT ALREADY) SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OCCUR, READING CHRYSLER FORUMS SHOWS THIS IS NOT KNEW PROBLEM WITH MANY COMPLAINTS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS SITUATION. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE PARK POSITION WITH THE ENGINE TURNED ON BEFORE SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 4 MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO DRIVE BACKWARDS AND CRASHED INTO A SECOND VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS ABLE TO MOVE INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT AND STOP THE VEHICLE BY PRESSING THE BRAKES. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE PARKING BREAK WAS NOT ENGAGED DURING THE INCIDENT. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AND NO POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEFECT WAS DUE TO A SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000. JFT

VEHICLE: 2013 CHRYSLER 300 PURCHASE DATE: NOVEMBER 10, 2013 (418 MILES AT THE DATE OF PURCHASE) DATE OF VEHICLE BREAKDOWN: DECEMBER 9TH, 2013 (1309 MILES AT THE DATE OF BREAKDOWN) DRIVEN FOR 891 MILES BEFORE DEFECT SCENARIO: I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ON DECEMBER 9TH, WHEN THE CONTROL ARM ON THE FRONT-DRIVER'S-SIDE SNAPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 25MPH ON A STRAIGHT NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE AND ALMOST CRASH INTO ANOTHER MOVING CAR ON THE ROAD. UPON EXAMINATION, HEAVY RUST WAS FOUND ALL OVER THE SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE. DAMAGES: THE RUST DAMAGE IS MORE THAN REGULAR SURFACE RUST, AND HAS EATEN AWAY AT THE CONTROL ARM BUSHELS, CAUSING THE FRONT LEFT CONTROL ARM TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THE VEHICLE THEN COLLAPSED ONTO ITS BODY, CAUSING MAJOR BODY DAMAGE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE BUMPER. THIS MEANS THAT EVERY 2013 CHRYSLER 300 COULD POTENTIALLY BE UNSAFE FOR OPERATION AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE THERE ARE INJURIES AND DEATHS DUE TO THIS DEFECT. CURRENTLY, BOTH THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CORPORATION ARE REFUSING TO DEAL WITH THE SAFETY CONCERNS FROM THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE REGARDING HEAVY RUST FOUND ON THE CHRYSLER 300 AND OTHER MODELS, AND ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES WITH SAFER VEHICLES AS THE LEMON LAW REQUIRES THE WHEELS TO COME OFF 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE CHRYSLER EVEN CONSIDERS TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT REGARDING A MALFUNCTIONING SUNROOF, FAULTY ELECTRONICS, AND HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS (WHICH ARE ALSO PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MODEL), BUT A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD LEAD TO UNNECESSARY INJURIES BECAUSE THE FAULTY MEXICAN AND CHINESE PARTS USED TO BUILD THE SUSPENSION ARE QUICK TO RUST AND BREAK. PLEASE FILE YOUR COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA AND LET THEM KNOW THAT RUSTED SUSPENSION PARTS ARE GROUNDS FOR A NATIONAL RECALL. *TR

CABIN AIR RECIRCULATE STOPS WORKING. CHRYSLER SAYS THAT IS NORMAL FUNCTION. BUT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING BEHIND A DIESEL VEHICLE, YOU ARE STUCK BREATHING THAT AIR, AND IT MAKES ME SICK. IT GOES ON OCCASIONALLY, BUT ONLY FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. THEN IT GOES OFF, AND YOU CANNOT TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY MILES IN MANY CLIMATES AND GET THE SAME RESULT. I HAVE OWNED A CHRYSLER 300 BEFORE AND IT DID NOT FUNCTION LIKE THIS. NOR, ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. *TR

MESSAGE "BATTERY IN SAFE MODE" COMES ON AT ABOUT 11 TO 15 MPH. THIS IS A TWO MONTH OLD CAR WITH ONLY 2100 MILES. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE PERSON STATED THAT IT WOULD COME ON AT START UP. IT DIDN'T. WHEN I SAID THERE WERE SEVERAL CASES REPORTED ON THE FORUMS, SUCH AS THE 300C FORUM, REPORTING BAD BATTERIES HE LAUGHED AND SAID THAT WASN'T THE CASE. THIS WAS DURING A PHONE CONVERSATION WHEN THE PERSON HADN'T EVEN SEEN THE VEHICLE. IT WAS ALSO BEFORE I COULD SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE NUMEROUS POSTS ABOUT THE ALTERNATOR/REGULATOR GOING BAD AND KILLING THE BATTERY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON KEERANS STREET ON FORT BRAGG, NC AT APROX 30MPH WHEN I WAS HIT BY A 2012 CHEVY EXPRESS 3500 DUE TO HIS FAILURE TO YIELD AT APPROX 25MPH. NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE WHIPLASH CAUSED NECK INJURY AND BACK INJURY. CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT IT REQUIRES A MINIMUM SPEED OF 20MPH TO SET OFF THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS. *TR

THE LIGHTING ON THIS CAR IS UNBELIEVABLY BAD. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, I DROVE IT HOME AT NIGHT, AND ALMOST PUT IT IN A DITCH TWICE, DUE TO SUBSTANDARD LIGHTING. EVEN WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY ADJUSTED THE HEADLIGHTS TO THE UPPER LIMITS. I CAN NOW SEE BETTER WITH THE LOW BEAMS, BUT THE HIGH BEAMS SHINE INTO THE TREES. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BEYOND WHAT THEY HAD ALREADY DONE. I HAVE BEEN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS PROBLEM IN NOT UNIQUE TO MY VEHICLE, BUT EXTENDS TO THE CHRYSLER 300 BUILT IN 2012 AND 2013. LACK OF PROPER LIGHTING PRESENTS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AT NIGHT, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, ON THE SUSPENSION PARTS THERE IS TONS OF RUST! THE METAL IS BEGINNING TO COME APART AROUND THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS!! SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND HAD ME LOOK, AND MY CAR IS COMPLETELY WORSE THEN HIS!!!!!! THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED, WHERE SOMEONE HIT THE WALL DUE TO THIS ISSUE!!!!! DON'T LET PEOPLE DIE!!! MAKE CHRYSLER FIX THIS MESS! THIS ISN'T A CAR RADIO NOT WORKING, OR THE INTERIOR FALLING APART... THIS IS A LIFE OR DEATH ISSUE! *TR

THE HEADLIGHT BRIGHTNESS ON THE 300 MODEL ARE JUST TERRIBLE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO ADJUST THE LIGHTS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THESE LIGHTS ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE AND THIS IS HOW THEY CAME FROM THE FACTORY. I EXPLAINED TO THEM AT NIGHT I DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON AND NO OTHER CARS FLASH THEIR LIGHTS. THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD EVEN WITH THE FOG LAMPS ON. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A HUGE PROBLEM ON THE 200 SERIES BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS ON THE 300. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT WHICH WILL RESULT IN DEATH. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

FROM JUST AFTER A FEW DAYS OF PURCHASE, ON ALL THE SUSPENSION PARTS, THERE IS TONS OF RUST EATING AWAY AT THE SUSPENSION OF MY BRAND NEW CAR. THIS ISSUE IS ON EVERY SINGLE CHRYSLER 300 BEING SOLD. AND EVERY SINGLE CHRYSLER 300 IS IN DANGER. THE FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION IS ON A TICKING TIME BOMB TO RUST, AND BREAK APART. THE RETAINING RING AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE BALLJOINT, THE METAL HOLDING IT ON, CAN BE SCRAPED RIGHT OFF. I HAVE EMAILED CHRYSLER, THEY HAVE NO COMMENT. YOU CAN VISIT A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER RIGHT NOW, AND NOTICE THIS ISSUE. MULTIPLE CONSUMERS ON CHRYSLER300SFORUMS.COM RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE, AND HAVE TRIED TO COMMUNICATE WITH CHRYSLER ABOUT IT SIMPLY PUT, THE SUSPENSION WAS NOT COATED PROPERLY IN PAINT... AND BRITTLES RIGHT OFF. EACH PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ESPECIALLY THE CONTROL ARM BUSHING RINGS, AND TIE-ROD END RETAINING RINGS. SMALLER PARTS SUCH AS THESE, WILL COLLAPSE UNDER GREAT PRESSURE I HAVE VIDEOS, AND PICTURES THAT DOCUMENT THESE FINDINGS. ALONG WITH MULTIPLE CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. DO NOT LET SOMEONE DIE OVER THIS ISSUE!!!! FILE A RECALL TO CHRYSLER TO REPLACE OUR SUSPENSION AND ALL AFFECTED PARTS! *TR

MY MOON ROOF EXPLODED ON MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300S. I BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST AND ON NOVEMBER 5TH THIS OCCURRED. I WAS DRIVING 65MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY AND HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION THAT I INITIALLY THOUGHT WAS A TIRE BUT THE WIND I HEARD WAS COMING FROM ABOVE ME WHEN MY MOON ROOF WAS CLOSED. MY MOON ROOF SHADE WAS CLOSED AND I COULD HEAR SOUNDS OF WIND AND GLASS FALLING ONTO IT. I DID NOT SEE ANY DEBRIS COMING AT ME WHEN THIS OCCURRED. IF MY MOON ROOF WASN'T CLOSED I WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOWERED WITH GLASS. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEAREST EXIT TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE AND CALLED IN TO HAVE AN OFFICER SHOW UP TO FILE A POLICE REPORT. PICTURES SHOW THE GLASS BOWING IN AN UPWARD FASHION. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE INCIDENTS AND CLAIMS SIMILAR TO MINE ON THE INTERNET. I WILL NEVER DRIVE WITH MY MOON ROOF SHADE OPEN WHILE THE GLASS IS CLOSED. I HAVE A WIFE AND TWO LITTLE GIRLS 3YRS AND 9 MONTHS THAT IF THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE THEY WERE IN THE CAR WOULD BE A CATASTROPHE. I REGRET THAT I PURCHASED THE MODEL WITH A MOON ROOF. BEING THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WRITING ABOUT THESE EXPLOSIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING MAKE IT TO THE MEDIA THE SAME WAY THAT SUV ROLLOVERS DID YEARS BACK ENSURING THAT CONSUMERS KNEW OF A GREAT DANGER THAT COULD COME UNTIL MANUFACTURERS PAID MORE ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE AT HAND. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD CHRYSLER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT CAUSED THE EXPLOSION / GLASS BREAKAGE. THE EXPLOSION AND GLASS SHATTERING CAUSED PAINT DAMAGE TO THE CAR AS WELL. BEING THAT MY DEALERSHIP TOLD CHRYSLER THAT THEY COULD NOT VERIFY THE CAUSE, CHRYSLER'S STANCE IS THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. AFTER SEEING THE AMOUNT OF INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO MINE ACROSS MULTIPLE MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES, I FEEL ADDITIONAL AWARENESS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO CONSUMERS REGARDING SUN / MOON ROOFS. MANUFACTURES SHOULD TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY ON THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A LOUD TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN INITIALLY STARTING THE ENGINE. THE TICKING NOISE WAWS MORE PROMINENT WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IN COLDER TEMPERATURES AND COULD ALSO BE HEARD WHEN ACCELERATING AND IDLING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200. ## VIN PASSED ## CHRYSLER 300C 2013 ##

WENT THRU A DRIVE THRU MY VENT WAS OPEN SO I DECIDED TO CLOSE IT & THE ENTIRE GLASS SHATTERED! I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP & THEY SAID DROP IT OFF. THE ASST. MGR CALLED ME BACK MON. & ASKED WHAT HAPPENED, I TOLD HIM. THE NEXT DAY HE CALLED & SAID THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM, A PIECE OF PAPER THAT I WROTE GPS DIRECTIONS 2 WEEKS PRIOR WAS STUCK IN THE MECHANISM. I WAS LIKE, A PIECE OF PAPER? I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM SHOW ME THE PAPER. I TOLD THEM THERE WAS NO WAY THAT PIECE OF PAPER THAT WAS IN THE CUBBY IN FRONT OF THE SHIFT LEVER: FLEW PAST MY HEAD FOLDED 2 MORE TIMES & STUCK IN THE VENT MECHANISM, THUS SHATTERING THE GLASS. THE PAPER (5"X 8") HAD ONLY BEEN IN THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS & WAS FOLDER IN 1/4'S NOT 16THS. I SAID THERE IS NO WAY THAT PIECE OF PAPER FLEW PAST MY HEAD, FOLDED 2 MORE TIMES (WAS NOW 1.5" X 2") & STUCK IN THE MECHANISM. THEY SAID BECAUSE OF THIS IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I'VE TALKED TO FRIENDS, INSURANCE COMP (LOCAL & MAIN AGENT), 6 OTHER MECHANICS (2 AT OTHER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS), ALL SAY BOGUS! THE INS. ADJUSTER SAID IN HIS 30 YRS HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING OR DID HE BELIEVE IT! I BOUGHT THE CAR DEC. 2012, IT HAS 4800 MILES SO I'M APPALLED! I ADDED TO THE EDMUNDS FORUM & RECEIVED A REPLY FROM THE 'HOST' OF THE FORUM: #160 OF 161 RE:2013 CHRYSLER MOONROOF GLASS SHATTERED [BHERTZ300] BY [XXX] HOST NOV 15, 2013 (12:01 PM), REPLYING TO: BHERTZ300 (NOV 13, 2013 5:46 AM) WOW. THAT HAS TO BE THE MOST BIZARRE "BLAME" STORY I'VE SEEN IN THIS DISCUSSION. THERE ARE A LOT OF INSTANCES OF DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL BLAMING THE INCIDENT ON THE OWNER DROPPING SOMETHING ON THE SUNROOF, OR SOMETHING SPONTANEOUSLY FALLING FROM THE SKY ONTO THE SUNROOF, BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY THE FIRST "MAGIC PAPER" EXCUSE I'VE SEEN! IT'S A SHAME THAT EITHER SERVICE PERSONNEL ARE BLAMING IT ON AN OUTSIDE FORCE, OR DON'T KNOW ABOUT POTENTIAL DEFECTS IN GLASS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300 C. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INCREASE SPEED DESPITE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER MAY HAVE TO BE CHANGED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FILTER AND SOLENOID. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,957.

CHRYSLER MANUFACTURE IS AWARE AND HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE SAFETY ISSUE PERTAINING TO THE LIGHTING OR RATHER THERE THE LACK OF LIGHTING. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ?? FATALITIES . I WAS ASSURED THAT THEY WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE HOWEVER I AM STILL DRIVING A CAR THAT I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR AND CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THREE OCCASIONS FOR THEM TO ADJUST THE HEADLIGHTS AS THERE IS NO LIGHTING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT SIDES IN RURAL AREAS. AFTER THE 2ND ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNSUCCESSFULLY ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS THAT WORKED AT THE DEALERSHIP MET ME THE NEXT EVENING AT NIGHT AND SAW FOR HIMSELF AND HE REPORTED TO HIS BOSSES THAT THERE WAS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED AND GAVE CONTACT INFO TO DIRECTLY CONTACT CHRYSLER THIS WAS ON 6/27/13 THE FOLLOWING DAY RECEIVED EMAIL AND A PH. CALL STATING THAT THE DESIGN TEAM AT CHRYSLER EXAMINED THE IDENTICAL MODEL AND ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE ASSIGNED A CASE# AND QUOTE " THERE IS IN FACT A FACTORY DEFECTIVE FLAW/CHARACTERISTIC IN THE DESIGN OF THE CAR PERTAINING TO ITS HEADLIGHTS" UNQUOTE . I HAVE ALMOST RAN OVER A MOTHER AND CHILD OUT WALKING, I HAVE BEEN IN 2 DITCHES AND A INCH FROM GOING INTO THE RIVER NOT TO MENTION THE ANIMALS. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR DRAGGING THEIR FEET IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT WITH IT BEING A LUXURY CAR THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AS LUXURY CARS WERE SELDOM ON RURAL ROADS ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT . I AM A DISABLED VETERAN BEEN THRU A LOT AND IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO MEET MY MAKER DUE TO THE SELF ABSORBED EXEC'S AT CHRYSLER . I FILL CERTAIN THAT THEY WOULDN'T FOR A SECOND PAY FOR A VEHICLE THAT COULDN'T BE SAFELY DRIVEN AT NIGHT. I HAVE ALL OF THE DATES AND P.O.C.'S THE CASE # ASSIGNED BY CHRYSLER PLEASE RESOLVE THE ISSUE BEFORE IT TAKES AN INNOCENT LIFE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE DUE TO RUST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NONE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES ALERTED THE CONTACT OF A POTENTIAL FAILURE IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE CONTACT TO VEER TO THE LEFT AND CRASH INTO A GUARD RAIL.

THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 5,219. *TR

THERE WAS NO CRASH BUT THERE IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE CAR ARE THE WORSE I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED (OWNER 12 CARS). WHEN YOU TURN THE CORNER ON A UN LIT STREET THERE IS A BIG BLIND SPOT LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAVE ALMOST ALREADY HIT 3 PARKED CARS CLOSE TO THE CORNET BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE THEM NOR THE CURB. EVEN DRIVING ON A ROAD IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE BLINDERS ON THE LIGHTS LEFT AND RIGHT. CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENTS TO BE MADE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE ESCAPED EVERYONE'S ATTENTION. CAN YOU PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE LIGHTING IS SO POOR ON RURAL ROADS THAT YOU MUST DRIVE WITH THE BRIGHTS ON. THE LOW BEAMS ONLY WORK FOR THE FIRST 15 FEET OR SO AND THEN WHEN GOING DOWN A SLIGHT DECLINE THE FAR DISTANCE OR "NIGHT HORIZON" JUST DISAPPEARS LIKE A CURTAIN DROPPED DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. YOU LITERALLY LOSE SIGHT OF THE ROAD. SAME SITUATION WHEN TURNING. ITS REALLY SCARY. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID HE DROVE ONE HOME AND ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD. HE AGREES WITH MY PROBLEM. I'M TOLD THERE IS NO FIX. IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED I GUARANTEE THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS WITH THIS CAR. I'M TOLD IF THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS SOMETHING WILL BE DONE BY YOUR ORGANIZATION. HELP--I DON'T WANT TO DIE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR'S GAS PEDAL BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE. YOU CAN NOT ACCELERATE. IN MULTIPLE INCIDENCES, I HAVE BEEN NEARLY HIT ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO MY ABRUPT LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS AND INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR WAS FINE. IN THE FINAL INCIDENT, I WAS GOING 75 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR GET THE CAR TO GO. THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED 70 MILES TO MY HOME BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN 5 DAYS AND STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM CHRYSLER. *TR
