I have been having trouble with my cruise control lately. If I start my car remotely and then drive my cruise control won't turn on unless I hold down all 4 buttons on my steering wheel. When this happens I also end up having difficulties disengaging it and there will be a 1-2 mph difference from what the cruise speed is set as to what speed the vehicle is actually traveling. I noticed there was a safety recall in regards to this issue that was issued on 05/17/2018 but my Vin didn't register for that recall so I'm wondering if my car was missed or if there are more vehicles like mine having this same issue that wasn't taken care of in the last recall issued.

From a red light, I proceeded through intersection once light turned green. My engine stalled & coasted to outside highway lane with no warning lights ot any other sign of a problem. I parked on the shoulder and the car did not re-start. Twenty minutes later, It re-started with no further problems.
Normally when u turn on the car it says press the brake pedal to start engine in the message, but in my situation it says press clutch pedal to start engine but the problem is that my car is an automatic my car doesn't have clutch what can I do?

THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS CAR BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS BE CAUSE IT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT IS A REBUILT SALVAGE AND THE REGISTRATION IS IN CT. I THINK THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE AIR BAG WAS NEVER DEPLOYED ON PASS SIDE. FAR RIGHT FRONT AND UNDERCARRIAGE ON LNCIDENT REPORT ONLY. ALSO CONTROL MODULES FOR CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN IT OFF SHORT CIRCUIT IN VEHICLE WIRING . IF A REBUILT SALVAGE CAN BE SOLD TO ME BY A DEALER THAT IS UNSAFE WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER STAND BEHIND THERE RECALLS. OH THE CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AN I LOVE IT. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE.

FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE FACING HIGH. ONCOMING CARS FLASH THEY LIGHTS THINKING IM DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS. AT TIMES THESE DRIVERS LEAVE THEIR HIGHBEAMS ON BLINDING ME AS WE CROSS PATHS. ALSO FRONT HEADLIGHTS DO NOT SHINE AT THE SIDES. I CANOT SEE WHEN TURNING, LIGHTS ONLY SHINE IN FRONT.
I HAVE A 2014 CHRYSLER 300 BASE, WITH AWD. I HAVE 73,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE SERVICE KEPT UP. SO, I WAS HAVE A ROUGH NOISE AS I WOULD GO OVER 50 MPH AND IT WOULD BE LIKE A GROWLING NOISE. IT SOUNDED LIKE A FRONT WHEEL BEARING. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEARING. THE WARRANTY HAD ENDED AT 70,000 MILES FOR THE DRIVETRAIN AND SO I PUT IT ON MYSELF. I PUT A BRAND NEW HUB ON AND STILL HAD THE NOISE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO ANOTHER GARAGE AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE REAR DRIVE LINE. THEY REPLACED IT AND STILL MAKING THE NOISE. SO, THEY THEN SAID IT WAS THE FRONT DRIVE LINE. I HAD THEM DO IT AND FINALLY. THIS WAS THE FIX. I LOOKED ONLINE AND WATCHED VIDEOS AND WAS NEVER ANYTHING SAYING A DRIVE LINE. I JUST FEEL THAT IT'S SO UNFORTUNATE THAT AT 3,000 MILES OVER AND I'M STUCK PAYING OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS, TO REPLACE A PART OF THE DRIVETRAIN. WHAT I WORRY ABOUT, IS THAT BOTH AXLES WERE ACTUALLY NO GOOD. IT'S JUST THE ONE WAS MAKING THE NOISE. WHAT IF I KEPT DRIVING AND ONE LOCKED UP. THAT'S SCARY AND COULD BECOME LIFE THREATENING. I TRULY HOPE YOU CAN REVIEW MY MESSAGE AND FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED AND IS A POSSIBLE RECALL. I WOULD HATE FOR THEM TO FREEZE UP ON SOMEONE AND ENDS UP INJURING OR WORSE, FATALLY INJURING SOMEONE OR EVEN AN ENTIRE FAMILY. THANK YOU!
I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED AND STILL HAVE A REALLY BAD SHAKING AND VIBRATION IN THE CAR
MANUFACTURERS HAVE NOTIFIED ME BY MAILERS. DEALERSHIPS HAVE FAILED TO NOTIFY ME. WHEN I HAVE CONTACTED THEM, THEY NEVER HAVE PARTS IN STOCK.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT FORWARD AT ABOUT 20MPH ON A BRIDGE WHERE THE ROAD WAS CLEAR WITH NO ICE OR SNOW AND MY CAR DID A 360 SPIN OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THAT DAY I TOOK MY CAR INTO DISCOUNT TIRES WHERE I WAS TOLD I HAD 5/32 THREAD WHICH IS FAIRLY GOOD I STILL WENT AHEAD AND GOT NEW TIRES BUT STILL FELT LIKE MY TIRES WAS NOT MOVING LIKE IT SHOULD. I THEN TOOK IT INTO A MECHANIC SHOP WHICH WAS MONTES CAR SHOP IN NORTH MPLS WE DID A TEST DRIVE AND REALIZED MY FRONT WHEELS WERE NOT ENGAGING THE ONLY TIRES THAT WERE SPINNING WAS THE BACK WHEELS. SO AT THAT POINT THEY RAN A ABS DIAGNOSTIC THERE WERE CODES NO SHOWING REGARDING MY AWD AT ALL, SO THEY DID A FULL INSPECTION AND STATED IT WAS A BLOWN MINI FUSE THAT OPERATES THE FRONT DIFF ACTUATOR AND REPLACED IT. I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR AND I AM NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED NOT ONLY THAT THE CAR IS NOT GIVING OFF ANY SENSORS OR CODES REGARDING MY AWD NOT WORKING WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING THERE SHOULD BE SOME WAY FOR THE CAR TO HAVE SENSORS NOTIFYING ME THE MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE IS NOT WORKING OR ENGAGING.
I SMELLED GAS IN THE CABIN THEN LATER AFTER FILLING THE TANK, I HAD GAS RUNNING OUT UNDER THE CAR. INVESTIGATION REVEALED MELTED PLASTIC AROUND THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR PINS ALLOWED GAS TO LEAK ON TOP OF THE TANK THEN RUN DOWN OUT OF THE TANK. I CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN 5 MONTHS LATER. THE FUEL PUMP SITS LOWER THAN THE FUEL PUMP SO WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, ABOUT 3 GALLONS OF GAS WILL LEAK OUT. I FIGURED OUT THE CAUSE WAS FROM HEAVY OBJECTS, IN MY CASE, PEOPLE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT BUT CHILD SEATS OR POSSIBLY GROCERIES COULD EXERT PRESSURE ON THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR CAUSING THE PINS TO HEAT UP AND MELT THE PLASTIC. I INSTALLED AN UPGRADED FUEL PUMP COVER MADE OUT OF ALUMINUM AVAILABLE AT WWW.FUELCONNECTORFIRE.COM AND AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR HAVE NOT HAD ANY MORE ISSUES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE FUEL LEAK WAS COMING FROM AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CULLMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (300 BENCHMARK WAY, CULLMAN, AL 35057, (256) 615-2563). THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS AN OVERFLOW FILTER THAT RAN WITH THE FUEL LINES CALLED THE FUEL CANISTER. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS THE CONTACT'S FAULT FOR OVERFILLING THE FUEL TANK, WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. ON OCTOBER 1, 2019, THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK AND THE VEHICLE STALLED, SPUTTERED, AND RETURNED TO NORMAL. WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME, HE SMELLED FUEL AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE QUARTER PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE LEAK WAS NOTICED CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE DEALER CALLED BACK AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HE OVERFILLED THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SIDED WITH THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD DO FURTHER INVESTIGATING. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO GET A SECOND OPINION AT ANOTHER DEALER. THE CONTACT INFORMED BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER THAT HE SAW NO OVERFLOW OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.
THE DEALER SAID THE PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE
8/30 PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND STEPPED OUT. THE CAR GOES ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE STREET WITH MY DAUGHTER IN IT SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER. LUCKILY MY DRIVER DOOR WAS OPEN. IT CAUGHT MY NEIGHBORS CAR AND JARRED MY DOOR BACKWARDS FORCING THE CAR TO VEER TO THE LEFT AVOIDING A STREET WHERE CARS FLY UP AND DOWN FREQUENTLY. (SAVANNAH WAS FEET AWAY FROM EITHER GOING INTO TRAFFIC OR INTO THE BACK OF SOMEONE'S HOUSE. WE ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THAN DAMAGES TO A COUPLE OF VEHICLES). MY CAR DOOR DOESN'T SHUT PROPERLY AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FIND OUT THIS IS THE SAME SHIFTER THAT HAS ALLEGEDLY BEEN TIED TO A FAMOUS MAN'S DEATH AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER ACCIDENTS. VERIFIED WITH FCA MY CAR WAS DEFECTED.
DRIVER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH BACKUP CAMERA SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2016. ORIGINALLY, THE CAMERA WOULD JUST GO IN AND OUT. A BLACK SCREEN WOULD SHOW UP ON THE MONITOR ONCE THE CAR WAS PUT INTO REVERSE. THIS WAS MENTIONED TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE CAMERA WOULD NEVER ACT UP WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DRIVER WAS ALSO TOLD THAT AN UPDATE WOULD EVENTUALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM, WHICH IT DID NOT. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO REVERSE NOW, THE PICTURE ON THE MONITOR FROM THE BACK UP CAMERA IS ACTUALLY FLIPPED ON THE MONITOR. SO WHAT IS ACTUALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR, SHOWS UP ON THE LEFT SIDE. RECENTLY WHEN GETTING RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE TAKEN CARE OF, THE DRIVER FOUND OUT THAT THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED IN 2015. THIS WAS PRIOR TO THE CAR BEING PURCHASED IN 2016. THESE PROBLEMS WERE BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP, TELEGRAPH CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN TAYLOR, MI. THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, NOW IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE PERCEPTION IN THE BACK UP CAMERA COULD DECEIVE THE DRIVER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LENS IN THE BACK UP CAMERA APPEARED TO HAVE MOISTURE IN IT AND COULD NOT FOCUS PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EIDE CHRYSLER (1112 MISSOURI AVE, BISMARCK, ND 58504, (701) 223-1170) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. CASE NUMBER: 59749768 WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,428.

I BOUGHT GOODYEAR TIRES AT A DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER THEM FROM CHRYSLER. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO BALANCE THE TIRES 3 TIMES. I WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR 5 DAYS, BUT THEY DID PROVIDE A RENTAL. I WAS CALLED TO DRIVE THE CAR TUESDAY WITH THE HEAD MECHANIC, AND THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE WAS STILL WOBBLY. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE GOODYEAR AND NOT MICHELIN'S (THAT'S WHAT WAS ON THE CAR ORIGINALLY). I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE RIDE OF THE TIRES AND I WANTED TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE AND GET THE MICHELIN TIRES. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THEY (DEALERSHIP) CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID NO, THEY WILL NOT TAKE THE TIRES BACK. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN ON THE TIRES 3 TIMES, ONCE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY PUT THE TIRES ON. THE SECOND TIME I DROVE HOME AFTER THE SECOND BALANCING WASN'T CORRECT, AND THE THIRD TIME, BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I FEEL THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT CHRYSLER WON'T TAKE THESE BAD TIRES BACK. THEY SHOULDN'T EVEN SELL THESE! I'VE NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TIRE WHICH INCLUDES THE SAME THING I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT, WOBBLING. I ONCE WORKED FOR CHRYSLER AND I AM ALSO GOING TO CONTACT SOMEONE AT CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS. I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE A RESPONSE TO THIS COMPLAINT! I BOUGHT THE TIRES ON APRIL 30, 2019, TOOK MY CAR BACK THE SAME DAY, TOOK IT IN ON FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2019, AND NOW PICKING IT UP TODAY, MAY 9, 2019.

MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT MY DEFECTIVE EXHAUST PIPE SYSTEM ON MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300 THAT CAUGHT ON FIRE ON A CITY STREET ON THE WAY HOME. I HAD IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED A TOW TRUCK COMPANY TO TAKE IT TO A CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOP TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS. SO THEY SHOWED ME THE EXHAUST PIPE WHEN I SAW IT I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THIS BECAUSE I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IT IS NOT FIVE YEARS OLD YET. THE PRICE THEY CHARGED ME TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE WAS 1,430.00 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER. SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE IMPLEMENT A SAFETY RECALL I WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER 300 YEAR 2014 USED FROM CHRYSLER DEALER IN MESA AZ. ON 4/22/2015. THE CAR WAS WHAT WE WANTED AND WE ALSO PURCHASED THE MOPAR EXTENDED WARRANTY AT THE TIME. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE NO MENTION WAS MADE THAT THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION WOULD NOT BE SAFE AT NIGHT TO DRIVE. I HAVE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH DEALER STAFF OVER LAST YEAR AND A HALF AS TO THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESULT. HERE IS THE PROBLEM WHEN TURNING A CORNER AT DARK YOU LOSE ALL SIDE VISION IF YOU ARE IN AN AREA WITHOUT STREET LIGHTING. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER HAS BUILT A CAR WITHOUT LIGHTING THAT LETS YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT STRAIGHT AHEAD. WHEN I BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE THIS WITH CHRYSLER REP. AS NO ONE AT DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WE FOUND THE PROBLEM. YOU WILL SEE BY THE EMAILS I HAVE ATTACHED THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF PROBLEM. THEY EVEN HAVE AN OPTION TO FIX CALLED STEERING DIRECTED LIGHTING. HOWEVER I AM TOLD IT CANNOT BE PUT ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AFTER DARK IN AN AREA OUTSIDE OF CITY LIGHTS. AS YOU WILL SEE BY ATTACHED EMAILS I HAVE TRIED TO GET CHRYSLER AND THEIR DEALERSHIP TO PAY ATTENTION BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO EVEN TEST DRIVE THEIR OWN PRODUCT. ALSO NO ONE IN AUTHORITY FROM EITHER CHRYSLER OR THEIR DEALERSHIP HAS CONTACTED ME. ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME FROM DEALERSHIP. ANYONE THAT WOULD COME TO MY HOUSE AFTER DARK AND DRIVE MY CAR AROUND THE BLOCK WOULD SEE THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. THANK YOU FOR ANY ATTENTION YOU MAY PAY TO THIS ISSUE.

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE CUT OFF DATE ON THE RECALL WAS ANY BUILDOUT MY 2011-2014 BEFORE DECEMBER 23, 2013. I WAS INFORMED MY CAR WAS BUILT OUT THE FOLLOWING MONTH. BUT IF THE PART WAS NEVER CHANGED OUT OF THE PLANT AND WAS NEVER CAUGHT UNTIL AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT, THEN WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT APART OF THE RECALL? WHEN THE 160 AMP FAILED, I WAS DRIVING AND IT GAVE ME LITTLE WARNING. I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OFF TO A SAFE LOCATION. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC DUE TO THIS AND HAD TO PAY FOR A TOW TRUCK. RECALL NUMBER: P60/NHTSA 14V-634

ON SEVERAL OCCASION MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT WARNING AND THE GEAR SLIPS FROM DRIVE TO PARK. WHILE EXITING MY VEHICLE AFTER I HAVE PARKED MY CAR SLIPS INTO DRIVE CAUSING ME TO STUMBLE. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO AID ME BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD STOP WITH WARNING. ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY MY CAR STOPPED WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND WENT INTO PARK ON ITS OWN, I NOTIFIED THE TOWING COMPANY AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. WHILE AT A DEALERSHIP I WAS NOTIFIED OF A DEFECT AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD FIX IT.

FIRST STARTED WITH THE REAR WINDOW SHADE MALFUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING AND FRONT DRIVER SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE THE SAME DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, DEALER SAID THEY WOULD FIX. TOOK MORE THAN TWO TRIPS TO DEALER TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. NEXT AT AROUND 6000 MILES I HAD CYLINDERS MISFIRE WHILE DRIVING, TOOK ME MORE THAN 3 TRIPS TO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO GET PROBLEM RESOLVED. THEY DID NOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, JUST FIXED IT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I HAD ALOT OF SMOKE AND BURNT SMELL COMING FROM MY ENGIN WHILE DRIVING, DEALER SAID A GASKET WAS MISSING. I HAD AIR COMING THROUGH DRIVER FRONT AND REAR DOORS. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER TO GET FIXED, SUPPOSIBLY THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT TO THIS DATE I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH AIR COMING THROUGH DOORS AS I'M DRIVING, NOW THE WORSE PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING.ON MID 2016 THE RACK AND PINION GAVE OUT.

I GOT INTO MY CAR WHICH WAS PARKED INSIDE MY HOUSE GARAGE. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND MOVED ABOUT 1 TO 2 FEET BACK - BUT HAD TO STOP THE CAR AS MY BROTHER WANTED TO GET INTO THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN "PARK". AS HE WAS GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR I STARTED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AS I WANTED TO GET A TOWEL ON MY GARAGE SHELF. HOWEVER, BEFORE MY BROTHER COULD CLOSE THE DOOR THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS OUT OF THE GARAGE. I WAS ALREADY OUT OF THE CAR WHEN IT WAS MOVING BACKWARDS SO I COULD NOT GET BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT -SO INSTEAD I REACH DOWN AND PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH MY HAND. BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. THE PASSENGER DOOR GOT CAUGHT ON THE GARAGE WALL AND WAS BENT BACKWARDS. THE PASSENGER DOOR IS NOW DAMAGED, BENT IN TWO PLACES AND DOES NOT CLOSED CORRECTLY.

I HAVE READ FORUM AFTER FORUM REGARDING CHRYSLER 300 VEHICLES RANGING FROM YEARS 2011-2014 AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WILL THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE UNIT FOR FREE?
I WAS TOLD THAT THE CHRYSLER 300, 2014, WAS UNDER RECALL, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, I ASSUME, SINCE THE CAR WAS UNDER A LEASE AGREEMENT.

AVOIDED A DEER AND HAD FRONT END COLLISION IN A GATED GOLF COMMUNITY. ESTIMATED TRAVEL SPEED 25MPH. USAA INSURANCE CARRIER TOTALED THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY!
ON ONE OCCASION MY VEHICLE'S SCREEN TURNED WHITE AND RESTARTED WITHOUT WARNING. ANOTHER OCCASION WHILE TRYING TO USE THE HEAT, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO BLOW OUT COLD AIR AFTER TURNING THE HEAT TO HIGH. THE PROBLEM DID NOT CORRECT ITSELF UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON A SHOT TIME LATER. THE SAME OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WITH THE A/C NOT WORKING UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED A SHORT TIME LATER.
MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT IDLING IN PARK WHILE I WAS AT AN ATM MACHINE AND JUMPED OUT OF PARK AFTER I HAD JUST GOT TO THE ATM AND HIT ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS PARKED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT OF MY CAR AND HAVE IT PAINTED AT A HIGH COST TO ME.I DIDN'T TAKE ANY PHOTOS. I BOUGHT THE PARTS FROM EBAY AND HAD THE BUMPER AND COVER PAINTED AT A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER.
ON FEBRUARY 7, 2016, MY HUSBAND PARKED HIS 2014 CHRYSLER 300 IN A PARKING SPOT IN A PARKING LOT AND EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH OUR 11 YEAR-OLD CHILD BEHIND ME AND 9 YEAR-OLD CHILD SEATED BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT. ALL 3 OF US WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS. MY HUSBAND WALKED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT AND DOWN THE BLOCK. I WAS TEXTING SOMEONE ON MY CELLPHONE WHEN MY 11 YEAR-OLD EXCLAIMED THAT THE CAR WAS MOVING. WITHOUT LOOKING UP FROM MY PHONE, I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE ILLUSION OF A CAR PULLING INTO OR OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT BESIDE US. SHE SCREAMED, "NO THE CAR IS DEFINITELY MOVING!" THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING BACKYWARDS. I MADE EVERY EFFORT TO MOVE THE GEARSHIFT, GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL AND HIT THE BRAKES BUT DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE LARGE CONSOLE I COULD NOT SWING MY LEG OVER TO REACH THE BRAKE. THE CAR MOVED IN REVERSE ACROSS THE PARKING LOT AND STRUCK AN UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE LOT. THANKFULLY, THE CAR DID NOT STRIKE ANY PEDESTRIANS OR OCCUPIED VEHICLES, AS THIS WAS A BUSY PARKING LOT. OUR CHRYSLER ENDURED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE WHILE THE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS MINOR. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE EXTREMELY UPSET. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL THAT NO ONE WAS PHYSICALLY INJURED BUT WE WERE ALL QUITE SHAKEN BY THE OUT OF CONTROL CAR. THE IMPACT WAS SUCH THAT IT MAKE A LOUD "THUD" SOUND WHEN IT COLLIDED WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE AND JOLTED US A BIT. WE WERE COMPLETELY SHOCKED THAT THE CAR SEEMINGLY ON IT'S OWN WENT FROM "PARK" INTO "REVERSE". MY HUSBAND HAD TIME TO WALK ACROSS THE PARKING LOT AND DOWN THE BLOCK BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS LONG OUT OF HIS SIGHT BEFORE IT STARTED TO MOVE. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE. WE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO OUR INSURANCE CARRIER THE NEXT DAY.
VEHICLE FUEL PUMP FAILED AT 17,000 MILES DUE, APPARENTLY, TO ETHANOL CONTENT IN GASOLINE. CHRYSLER MARKETED THIS MODEL DURING THE 2014 YEAR AS A FLEX-FUEL VEHICLE (FFV). EVIDENTLY THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE (AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS) ARE NOT ACTUALLY INTENDED TO BE FLEX-FUEL DESPITE CHRYSLER'S PRIOR ANNOUNCEMENTS AND THERE IS NO WARNING WHATSOEVER THAT THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT BE OPERATED ON A MIXTURE OF GAS-ETHANOL. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE IF THE FUEL PUMP WERE TO FAIL DURING OPERATION ON THE ROAD.
NEED MORE INFORMATION PLS.
I WAS AT A COMPLETE REST APPROXIMATELY 5-10 FT BEHIND A SEMI TRACKER TRAILER TRUCK WHEN A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT A RATE OF 55 MPH REAR ENDING MY STOPPED VEHICLE. THE IMPACT WAS SO GREAT IT FORCED AND PUSHED THE FRONT-END OF MY VEHICLE DIRECTLY INTO THE REAREND OF THE STATIONARY SEMI TRUCK. THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN MYSELF, THE DRIVER, AND THE PASSENGER (BOTH OF US SEAT BELTED) TO SUSTAIN CONCUSSIONS, SEVERE CERVICAL STRAINS, UPPER AND LOWER BACK INJURIES, HIP CONTUSIONS AND FACIAL LACERATIONS. AS THIS SERIOUS AND VERY VIOLENT THREE VEHICLE OCCURRED THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. UNDER THESE LIFE THREATENING CIRCUMSTANCES IF THE AIR BAGS HAD PROPERLY DEPLOYED OUR INJURIES MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SO SEVERE.
LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP AND WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS IN ROAD/RAILROAD TRACKS. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. I PUT TODAYS DATE AS THE INCIDENT DATE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS DAILY
THE CAR WAS PUT INTO PARK AND ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, ACROSS THE STREET, INTO A RAVINE AND HIT A TREE.
ON NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GEAR THE TRANSMISSION IS IN. I PARK THE CAR AND THINK IT IS IN PARK ONLY TO FIND OUT IT IS IN REVERSE.AS I AM STEPPING OUT OF THE CAR IT STARTS TO BACK UP. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW BY CHRYSLER CORP.THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF SAFETY MECHANISM INSTALLED TO MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS OFF UPON EXIT.

THE GEAR SHIFTER ON THIS CAR CONTINUALLY CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT SHIFT TO THE DESIRED GEAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE INTO REVERSE OR PARK. THANKFULLY, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, HOWEVER, I HAVE DAMAGED MY DAUGHTER'S BICYCLE AND MY GARAGE DOOR BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. THIS IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
I FEEL THE GEAR SELECTOR ON MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300 IS VAGUE, CONFUSING, AND DANGEROUS. IT IS ELECTRONIC AND PIVOTS INSTEAD OF MOVING ONE SPOT FOR EACH GEAR SELECTION. IF YOU PARK AND ATTEMPT TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK SOMETIMES IT MAKES IT AND SOMETIMES IT ENDS UP IN REVERSE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN YOU PUSH THE STOP BUTTON AND AS YOU STEP OUT THE CAR TAKES OFF BACKWARDS. ALSO WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE SOMETIMES IT GOES PAST DRIVE AND INTO LOW, SO I ENDED UP DRIVING FOR A TIME STUCK IN LOW GEAR AND NOT KNOWING UNTIL YOU GO TO SLOW OR STOP AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE STUCK ON SO YOU START LOOKING FOR THE REASON. I HAVE HATED THIS CAR ALMOST SINCE I LEASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2014. I FEEL WITH THE LACK OF A SWITCH KEY TO TURN THE ENGINE ON AND OFF, AND THIS VAGUE GEAR SELECTOR THIS GROUP OF VEHICLES IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE IT IN BUT I STILL HAVE 13 MONTHS LEFT AND CAN DO NOTHING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS...THANK YOU *TR ...UPDATED 03/31/17 *BF *JS

THE HEADLAMPS, BOTH LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM, ARE VERY DIM. THE HIGH BEAMS DON'T ILLUMINATE ANYTHING ON THE SIDES OF THE CAR, JUST SHINE HIGHER AND STRAIGHT AHEAD ( TUNNEL VISION). I HAD THE HIGH BEAMS INSPECTED AT A STATE CERTIFIED GARAGE. THE MECHANIC SAID THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ODD, BUT WITHIN TOLERANCE. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY ON RURAL DARK ROADS, BECAUSE THE VISIBILITY IS SO TERRIBLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. DRIVING HOME AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2014, FOG CONDITIONS EXACERBATED THE PROBLEM.
AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT GIVE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS. IT IS DANGEROUS TO MAKE A TURN ONTO A DARK STREET EVEN WITH THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON.
I HAD A LOW IMPACT CRASH AFTER I APPLIED MY BRAKES AT APPROXIMATELY 2-300 FEET BEFORE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY TIRES ARE GOOD AND THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD PRIOR TO THE CRASH. I SLID APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET INTO A CAR STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY, BECAUSE OF A PRIOR ACCIDENT IN MY LANE. WHEN I BEGAN APPLYING THE BRAKES, I WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH. I TRAVELED ANOTHER 4-5 SECONDS INTO THE BACK OF A VEHICLE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR! I THINK SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONED. THE COLLISION CENTER MECHANIC WHO IS WORKING ON MY CAR, TELLS ME THAT IF THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THEN THERE WAS NO CODE THROWN TO THE EVENT DATA RECORDER. THEREFORE, HE SAYS THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO IS TEST DRIVE IT AFTERWORDS AND TRY AND DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, AND WE TRADED INSURANCE INFORMATION, I DROVE HOME, 60 MILES AND THE THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. WHY DID THEY FAIL THIS TIME?

A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES I'VE BEEN DRIVING ALONG TYPICALLY AS THE AUTOMATIC CAR SHIFTS FOO A HIGHER SPEED THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ACCELERATING AND IS STUCK AT 3000 RPMS. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE EVEN WHEN I TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL IT DOESN'T SEEM TO CHANGE THE ACCELERATION.
I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ERRATICALLY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. I HAVE IT SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED IT IN JANUARY 2015. THEY SAID IT NEEDED AN SOFTWARE UPDATE. IT WORKED AND SHIFTED NORMAL FOR ONE DAY AND AFTER THAT I CAN STEP ON THE GAS LIGHTLY AND IT SHIFTS UNCONTROLLABLY, FROM FIRST TO SECOND AND/OR HAS TROUBLE GETTING OUT OF FIRST OR SECOND GEAR AND SLAMS INTO THIRD GEAR BY A JOLT INTO EACH GEAR. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AT STOP LIGHTS WHEN I BARELY STEP ON THE GAS AND SEVERAL TIMES IT JAUNTS FORWARD QUICKER THAN EXPECTED WITH MY FOOT BARELY ON THE GAS. OR I CAN STEP ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND IT DOESN'T GO OR FIND THE GEAR UNTIL A SUDDEN THRUST FORWARD WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND WILL BE TAKING IT AGAIN AND THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER WHY IT DOES THAT. ALL THEY DO IS SAY THEY'LL RE-LOAD THE SOFTWARE AND IT DOESN'T HELP FIX THE SITUATION. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN OVERTIME. I'M AT A STOP LIGHT NOT KNOWING HOW THE DRIVE TRAIN WILL RESPOND. ALWAYS ALERT OR EVEN JUST PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVE IS WHEN IT WILL CHANGE GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY DRIVING IT WHEN IT'S NOT WARMED UP. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. THANK GOODNESS I'M A SAFE DRIVER. I CAN'T EVEN TRUST SOMEONE ELSE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR THAT WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE SHIFTING ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS ON THIS MODEL BUT NEVER A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. OVER 300 COMPLAINTS AND STILL NOTHING AND THE DEALER CAN'T FIX THE ISSUE.

ON 01-17-2015 LESS THAN A MONTH AGO. WHILE DRIVING HOME, THE CAR SURGED/HESITATED AND SEEMED TO LOSE POWER. I ALSO NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE ICON ILLUMINATED. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE EXPRESSWAY SHOULDER AND SHUT THE ENGINE THEN RESTARTED IT, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE ICON STILL WAS ILLUMINATED, AND THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT SHIFT. IT WAS LOCKED. NO P, R, N, D, OR S. I TRIED TO MAKE A TELEPHONE CALL VIA THE VEHICLE'S BLUETOOTH BUT ALL MY DATA BASE WAS GONE. IT WAS WORKING EARLIER IN THE DAY. I SHUT THE ENGINE AND EXITED THE CAR TO MAKE A CELL PHONE CALL. WHEN I RE-ENTERED THE CAR I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE THE SHIFTER TO THE DRIVE POSITION, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE ICON WAS STILL ILLUMINATED, AS WELL AS OTHER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ICONS WERE MISSING AND SOME WERE PRESENT THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN. HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL ABOUT 3000 RPM. WHEN IT FINALLY DID MOVE, IT MOVED VERY SLOWLY, RELATIVE TO THE ENGINE SPEED. FINALLY IT SHIFTED TO A HIGHER GEAR AND SEEMED TO DRIVE NORMALLY. I EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY AND DROVE AROUND THE RESIDENTIAL AREA TO RE-ASSURE MYSELF THAT THE CAR WOULD GET ME HOME SAFELY. IT WAS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND THE DEALER WAS CLOSED. I RE-ENTERED THE EXPRESSWAY TO RERUN TO MY HOME. I NEVER KNEW WHAT GEAR THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN. PADDLE SHIFTERS WERE INOPERATIVE. WHILE DRIVING HOME I THE NAVIGATION MAP WAS INTERMITTENTLY GLITCHING, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ICONS SOME MISSING MANY FLASHING. ALSO NO CELL PHONE. THE DEALER CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED, BUT THE WORK ORDER STATED 181905A1 TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, SOFTWARE FLASHED. I ASSUMED THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED BUT BECAUSE IT TOOK PLACE ONLY ONE MONTH OLD CAR, I BECAME APPREHENSIVE. THEY NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC/TIPM FAILURES THAT OCCURRED WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AT THIS TIME I HAD NO IDEA WHAT A TIPM WAS ! SLIGHTLY MORE THAN ONE MONTH LATER MY VEHICLE FAILED AGAIN THAT WAS A TIPM FAILURE.
AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, NOT ONLY CHRYSLER VANS ARE AFFECTED, THE ENTIRE PRODUCT LINE INCLUDING DODGE AND CHRYSLER CARS, VANS AND SUV'S. ALSO JEEP. I HAVE A 2014 CHRYSLER 300 S PURCHASED DEC 2014. THE TIPM FAILED 1 MONTH LATER IN JAN 2015, WHILE DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY THE CAR LOST POWER. I WAS FORTUNATE I WAS NOT REAR ENDED. THE DEALER DID NOTHING AND NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT THE TIPM , THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE TCM THEN SENT ME ON MY WAY. IT FAILED AGAIN IN FEB 2015 THE CAR WOULD NOT START, AND ALL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ICONS FLASHED AND START BUTTON WOULD NOT RETURN TO OFF DETENT, A LOW PULSATING SOUND AUDIBLE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WIPERS MOVING SLOWLY WITH SWITCH IN OFF POSITION THE ONLY CHARGED THE BATTERY HAD 27 ERROR CODES, NO MENTION OF THE TIPM. IN MARCH 2015 LOST NAVIGATION AND PHONE PARING. AT THAT TIME THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND KEPT MY CAR FOR 18 DAYS. AGAIN THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY AND NEVER WOULD ADMIT THE TIPM IS AT FAULT. I ALSO HAVE PAYMENTS EACH MONTH, AND AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR EVEN FOR LOCAL ERRANDS. CHRYSLER RESOLUTION HAS MY REPORT AND ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER FOR THIS ISSUE IN FEB 2015. THEY ASKED TO ALLOW ONE MORE REPAIR [THE 18 DAYS THEY HAD IT] AND WOULD THEN MAKE A DECISION FOR A REFUND OR REPLACEMENT. THIS PAST WEDNESDAY MAR 9, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHRYSLER RESOLUTION AND THE TOLD ME THEY WILL DO NOTHING ! CHRYSLER HAS SUNK TO THE LOWEST POSSIBLE LEVEL OF CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY HAVE MORE REGARD FOR PROFIT THAN THEY DO FOR SAFETY. MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THE PREVIOUS WEDNESDAY TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THE CAR WAS SHIFTING ERRATICALLY. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT WHEN IT SHOULD, INSTEAD THE CAR WOULD DROP OUT OF GEAR THEN HANG OPEN FOR A MOMENT BEFORE IT WOULD SLAM INTO THE NEXT GEAR.
