AFTER RECEIVING SEVERAL POST CARDS TO GET THE AIRBAG RECALL, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DADELAND CHRYSLER/JEEP ON MARCH 12, 2019. AFTER KEEPING THE CAR THE WHOLE DAY I WAS TOLD MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL, THE SERVICE MGR AND I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO REFUSE TO APPROVE THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT, AND THE DEALER DID NOT DO THE WORK BECAUSE IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE REIMBURSED. SINCE THEN I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL CALLS FROM CHRYSLER AND EACH TIME I HAVE EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED, THEN I AM TOLD THEY WILL CHECK AND GET BACK TO ME AND I NEVER HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN. BOTTOM LINE, CHRYSLER CORP REFUSES TO DO THE AIRBAG RECALL AND I NEED YOUR AGENCY TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER. I HAVE ALSO FILE A COMPLAIN WITH THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY SAFETY AND MOTOR VEHICLE BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL TAKE ACTION ON THE MATTER. I HOPE YOU FORCE CHRYSLER TO CARRY OUT THE MANDATED RECALL AND FINE THEM FOR REFUSING TO CARRY OUT THE NHSA ORDER. I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU REGARDING THE OUTCOME OF MY COMPLAIN.

Oct 29, 2019

TAKATA ARE ALL COMPLAINT OF MINE IS THAT IT HAS PLACED ME A UNSAFE DRIVING STATE FOR 3 YEARS WITHOUT THE ABILITY OF A CAR REPLACEMENT UNTIL THIS PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. OTHER DEALERSHIPS THAT HAD AN AIRBAG PROBLEM DID PRESUMING THAT THEY REALLY CARED. FOR A LONG TIME, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING SCARED. DOING MY BEST TO GET TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP NOW.. IF I COULD HAVE TRADED IT I WOULD HAVE.

May 22, 2019

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DEALER, I REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR SO I COULD GET AROUND AND GET TO WORK WHILE THE REPAIRS ARE BEING MADE. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANYWHERE. I REQUESTED THE RENTAL AT NO CHARGE SINCE THIS ISN'T MY DOING, ITS NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE TIME TIME OUT OF MY BUSY DAY TO BRING IT THE CAR TO GET FIXED. ITS A REAL HASSLE. THEY CAN SIMPLY PROVIDE ME A VEHICLE TO USE WHILE THE REPAIRS ARE GOING ON. I WILL NOT SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT UNTIL I RECEIVE A VOUCHER OR COMPENSATION FOR A RENTAL. MOPAR HAS GOT NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED HERE EITHER.

THIS CAR HAS A PLASTIC KEY FOB USED AS THE KEY. SOMETIMES I TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY REPEATEDLY IN THE FOB ITSELF. I WISH IT HAD A METAL KEY SO I COULD FIGURE OUT IF IT IS SOMETHING IN THE IGNITION OR IN THE FOB ITSELF. I'M AFRAID I AM GOING TO LOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING AND CRASH. THE DEALER SAID A NEW IGNITION IS OVER $1000 BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED THIS WILL SOLVE MY ISSUE. I AM ALSO AFRAID AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM COULD MAKE MY AIRBAGS NOT WORK OR A FIRE INSIDE. I KNOW CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED 2 MILLION CARS FOR IGNITION ISSUES BUT MINE HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED THUS FAR AND I'M NOT SURE WHY. I DO NOT THINK THE PROBLEM WILL MAGICALLY CORRECT ITSELF, BUT IT IS INTERMITTENT WITH NO RHYME OR REASON JUST DEPENDS

Dec 25, 2018

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE ENGINE, INTERIOR LIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTS, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES ALL SHUT DOWN. THE CAR EFFECTIVELY WAS MOVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE ROAD SIDE THRU TRAFFIC AND THE CAR HAD TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN FREQUENTLY. I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ON YEARS PRIOR TO AND AFTER THIS YEAR FOR IGNITION KEY ISSUES. I ONLY USE THE KEY WHILE DRIVING WITH NO KEY RING ATTACHED. IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IN THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED IT, THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT LESS FREQUENTLY. I AM NOW WORKING EVENING HOURS AND THE LIGHTS SHUTTING DOWN HAS BECOME A BIGGER ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO VERO BEACH DODGE (CURRENTLY RENAMED VATLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, LOCATED AT 855 SOUTH, US-1, VERO BEACH, FL 32962, (772) 567-6633) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

Nov 05, 2018

CAR WAS CUTTING OUT AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT WOULD RESTART ITSELF WITHIN 5 SECONDS SOMETIMES I HAD TO THROW IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. SOMETIMES ALL THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON THE DASH, SOMETIMES NO LIGHTS. WAS NOT GENERATING A CODE. IT HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS, VERY DANGEROUS. TWICE I TOOK IT IN AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND WAS SUSPICIOUS OF THE KEY. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, STARTED IT AND TAPPED ON THE KEY. THE CAR STALLED. I DID THIS WHILE DRIVING ALSO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, TOLD THEM WHAT I DISCOVERED AND THEY REPLACED THE WINN(?) MODULE FOR THE SMALL SUM OF $472.00. THE MODULE IS WHERE THE KEY GOES IN. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT SOME OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T GET MINE. THIS HAPPENED THIS SUMMER.

CAR HAD 98,474 MILES ON ODOMETER. ENGINE IS MERCEDES DESIGN AND GUARANTEED FOR 100,000. ENGINE BLEW WITH NO WARNING SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS OR ANY KIND OF ISSUES. I WAS DRIVING 73 MPH ON I-10 WHEN I HEARD A LOW "KA-THUNK", ELECTRIC AND OIL LIGHTS LIT ON DASH, AND CAR BEGAN DECELERATING. AT TIME, I WAS BEING TAILGATED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE . I HIT EMERGENCY LIGHTS, DRIVER BEHIND ME APPARENTLY GOT THE MESSAGE TO DRIVE AROUND MY VEHICLE ALTHOUGH HE/SHE HAD PLENTY OF TIME PRIOR TO INCIDENT TO DO THIS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF SAFELY TO SIDE OF I-10 HIGHWAY AND PARK VEHICLE WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON. AFTER RAISING THE HOOD AND CHECKING THE FLUIDS, THERE WAS PLENTY OF OIL AND ALL OTHER FLUIDS WERE PROPER AMOUNTS. THERE HAS BEEN NO LEAKAGE OF ANY KIND OF FLUIDS PRIOR TO OR AFTER INCIDENT. I SPOKE WITH A DEALER SATURDAY AT FORD PEACH MOTORS IN BREWTON, AL ABOUT THE SITUATION. SHE SHARED WITH ME THAT SHE HAD HAD A CHRYSLER 300 WHICH DID THE EXACT SAME THING WHEN IT GOT TO BE AROUND 98,000. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM IN WHICH THE MOTOR GETS AROUND 98,000 MILES AND THE MOTOR/ENGINE BLOWS WITH NO APPARENT WARNING JUST AS MINE DID. ALSO, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, MOPAR HAS 3 RECALLS ON 2009 300C. IT STATES THAT ALL 3 ON MY VIN# WERE REPAIRED. ACCORDING TO NHTSA WEBSITE, THERE ARE 5 RECALLS FOR EXACT SAME VIN# AND NO REPAIRS. I SPOKE WITH BOBBY SPAINHOWARD, A MECHANIC, AT FORD PEACH. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM WAS THE PIN IN THE CAMSHAFT BROKE IN HALF FOR NO REASON, CAUSING TIMING ASYNCHRONIZATION. THIS LED TO THE RODS BENDING AND STRONG POSSIBILITY OF VALVE AND PISTON DAMAGE. HE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED A BRAND NEW MOTOR DUE TO THE DAMAGE.

Sep 10, 2020

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY CHRYSLER 300C DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE JUST CUT ITSELF OFF. IT LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE.

Oct 28, 2017

MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT HAS STALLED MANY TIMES ON ME WHILE AT A LOW SPEED. USUALLY IT HAPPENS WHILE TURNING CORNERS, GOING INTO DRIVEWAYS AND SOMETIMES AT STOPS. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF IT STALLING WHILE TURNING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE HAD A MYRIAD OF THINGS FIXED BUT TO NO AVAIL IT STILL DOES THE STALLING. IF YOU KNOW OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE STALLING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IF CHRYSLER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER VEHICLES. I FEEL UNSAFE AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 CHRYSLER 300 THAT INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS ITSELF OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT DOES THIS, IT LOSES AL POWER. LIGHTS, FLASHERS, DASH LIGHTS ALL TURN OFF. I LOSE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND HAVE TO MANUALLY STEER IT AND BRAKE IT TO GET IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE IT IS OUT OF TRAFFIC I PUT IT IN PARK, TURN OFF THE KEY AND THEN, AND ONLY THEN, I CAN RESTART IT. WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS NO CODES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY CODES. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A CASE. #78850950. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS HAPPENING ON ANY OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. THE LAST TIME THE CAR SHUTDOWN I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND IT SHUT ITSELF DOWN AS I WAS GOING ACROSS A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AND IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS CARS SWERVED OUT OF THE WAY SO NOT TO HIT ME BROADSIDE. NEITHER CHRYSLER OR IT'S DEALERSHIP WILL HELP ME GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED STATING THAT THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO AND THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINES SAYS THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM. I SUGGESTED THAT THEY TAKE THE CAR AND DRIVE IT AROUND BECAUSE IT WILL INDEED REPEAT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT SINCE IT'S A 2009 THAT I WOULD BE BETTER OFF GETTING A NEW CAR.I TOLD THEM THAT I WANT THIS ONE FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME THOUSANDS FOR THEM TO HOOK UP TEST EQUIPMENT AND DRIVE IT AROUND. IT IS IN MY OPINION THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT WILL BE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THERE ARE SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. I OFFER YOU THIS CAR TO INSPECT AND DRIVE AND SEE IF WHAT I AM TELLING YOU IS IN FACT WHAT IS OCCURRING. WHAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST, THAT THIS CAR SHUTS OFF ALL THE POWER AND THERE ISN'T A SINGLE CODE BEING GENERATED BY THE COMPUTER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT, OUR 09' CHRYSLER 300 COMPLETELY SHUTOFF UNEXPECTEDLY. ENGINE SHUTOFF, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES...AND WORST OF ALL, ALL LIGHTS SHUTOFF! I DRIFT OFF INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE (LUCKILY MINIMAL TRAFFIC) AND STOP. PUT IN IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE...NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO ISSUES, AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. CONTINUE ON WITH LIFE... NOW A WHILE LATER, I'M DRIVING AROUND A TIGHT ROUNDABOUT AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN! LOSS OF POWER STEERING IN A TURN AT LOW SPEED, AND THE WHEEL GETS RIPPED OUT OF MY HAND AS THE CAR DRIVES UP OVER THE CURBS BEFORE I CAN STOP WITH THE NOW NON-POWERED BRAKES ON THE CAR. MINIMAL DAMAGE TO VEHICLE BUT ENOUGH TO PISS ME OFF TO KNOW THAT THIS CAN LITERALLY HAPPEN AT ANY TIME... CHANGING BETWEEN HAVING POWER STEERING TO INSTANTLY NONE IS A MAJOR HAZARD IN A TURN. I CAN DEAL WITH AN ENGINE TURNOFF, BUT THIS IS A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN, AS IF THE CAR WAS SHUTOFF NOT RECOGNIZING A THE KEY IS THERE. LIGHTS, RADIO, DASHBOARD, ETC....ALL TURN OFF (I'M GUESSING AIRBAGS TOO?) I HAVE NOW RESEARCHED THIS AND I AM FAR FROM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS PRETTY MUCH NARROWED DOWN TO A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE AND THE KEY FOB, AND THE MODULE THINKING THE FOB HAS BEEN TURNED OFF WHEN IT FACT IT HASN'T. CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED THIS PART FOR MODEL YEARS PRIOR, AND AFTER 09', BUT HAVE SEEMED TO SKIP THE 300C FOR 2009. WELL GUESS WHAT, 2009 300C WIN MODULE'S ARE FAULTY ALSO... AND JUST AS DANGEROUS AN ISSUE AS ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR 2009 CHRYSLER 300'S FOR THE WIN MODULE AND THE KEY FOBS! REGARDS

MY CHRYSLER 300 KEEPS LOOSING POWER. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE DECIDES TO LOSE ITS ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER, THE STEERING HAD NO PLAY BUT I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER OFF TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD IN MEDIUM TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THE KEYLESS IGNITION SYSTEM HAS A HORRIFIC DEFECT. IT IS LOSING CONTACT. THE DOUBLE SIDED INTEGRATED KEY, I BELIEVE, IS LOSING CONTACT WITH THE INTEGRAL IGNITION SWITCH WHICH ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO INCONSISTENT STARTING PROCEDURE. *TR

I OWN A 2009 CHRYSLER 300C IS EXHIBITING THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES. STALL IS LEADING TO UNNECESSARY ENDANGERMENT OF MY AND OTHER HIGHWAY USERS' SURVIVABILITY. THIS AUTOMATICALLY RAISES THE RISK OF DEATH FOR CONSUMERS UTILIZING THE ROADWAYS BE IT TWO LANE OR MULTI- LANES, CITY OR RURAL ROADS. MY 2009 CHRYSLER 300C IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE AND THESE DEFICIENCIES ONLY ADD INSULT TO INJURY. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE EXCUSE OF "WE DON'T KNOW" WILL SATISFY THE FAMILY OF A LOVED ONE LOST IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. I REQUEST A FAIL-SAFE PROTECTION WHEN THE FOLLOWING DEFECTS EXIST, I.E. STALL, SUDDEN SHUTDOWN, LOSS OF POWER, AND IN TRAFFIC APPEARS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. CHRYSLER IS EXPLICABLY COMPOUNDS THIS STALL SAFETY PROBLEM BY NOT PROVIDING THE MOST EFFICIENT MECHANICAL EXPERTISE AVAILABLE AND SWIFTLY CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS AN ISSUE TO CONSUMERS FOR SATISFACTORY OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE PERFORMED THE INITIAL RISK ASSESSMENTS AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS THAT MAY ARISE DURING THE EXECUTION OF MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS OF MY 2009 CHRYSLER 300C. THE IGNITION IS EITHER LOOSE AND NOT COMMUNICATION WITH THE OTHER COMPONENTS TO PROPERLY OPERATE THE VEHICLES AND CONTINUE TO SHUT OFF, STALL, STOP, ETC. ETC. ETC. THIS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE POINTS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF SAFETY AND FURTHER MORE COMPOUND THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS A NEED AND EXPLANATION GIVEN FOR THESE DESTRUCTIVE MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS.

I FEEL UNPROTECTED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF AND COULD CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE AND ITS EQUIPMENT IS LEADING ME INTO UNREASONABLE ANXIETY FOR MY SAFETY DUE TO THE SUDDEN STOPPING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, LEADING TO NO STEERING POWER, NO ELECTRIC SIGNALS, AND GRAVE POSSIBILITY OF DEATH. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY FIVE (5) YEARS OF AGE AND SHOULD NOT BE SHOWING SIGNS OF INEFFICIENCY. *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY CHRYSLER 300 DIED WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE JUST CUT ITSELF OFF. IT LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE, I LOST MY POWER STEERING, NOR COULD I BRAKE. I WAS CLOSE TO BEING SLAMMED IN THE REAR. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER IT TO THE EDGE OF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE I WAS LUCKILY IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO GET THE MOTOR TO RESTART. THIS POWER LOSS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND IS VERY FRIGHTENING. FROM TIME TO TIME I MUST CONTINUE TO TURN THE IGNITION TO THE START POSITION. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS PLAY WITHIN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND NO CONTACT IS MADE PREVENTING IT TO POWER ON. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED PARTS TO MY FRONT END THREE TIMES. THE PART HAS COST ME 125 PLUS LABOR EACH TIME. IM NOT SURE OF THE NAME OF THE PART, BUT U WILL KNOW WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE EVERY TIME U HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR FRONT END IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. AND I HAVE REPLACED MY THERMOSTAT HOUSING UNIT TWICE, IT LITERALLY MELTED TWICE! *TR

TIRES,WHEELS

1 complaint

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, I CHECKED AND FOUND MY FRONT TIRE LOOKED LOW. I WENT TO UNSCREW THE VALVE CAP AND IT KEPT TURNING, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THE METAL VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED AND THE SCHRADER VALVE WAS ONLY BEING HELD IN BY A BURR FROM THE CRACKED METAL STEM. AT THAT POINT I WAS UNABLE TO PUT ANY AIR INTO THE TIRE. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE SCHRADER TO JUST BLOW OUT OF THE STEM AND CAUSE INSTANT DEFLATION OF THE TIRE IS WHY I AM REPORTING THIS. THE METAL STEMS SEEM TO BE CHEAPLY MADE. *TR
