I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE AUTONATION DEALERSHIP LOCATED AT 11200 NORTH FWY, SERVICE ROAD E, FORT WORTH, TX 76177 FOR SERVICE IN MID 2016. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE ADVISOR REGARDING THE WORK BEING PERFORMED ON MY CAR. I ADVISED I HAD RECEIVED INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL AND ASKED IF THEY COULD REPLACE THE DAMAGED PART SINCE MY CAR WAS ALREADY THERE. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART YET BUT THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME ONCE THEY DID. I ASKED HOW LONG IT WOULD BE UNTIL THE NECESSARY PART (S) TO FIX THE RECALLED ISSUES. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW BUT THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY HAD THE PARTS. I WAS TOLD TO JUST CONTINUE USING MY CAR UNTIL THE PARTS ARRIVED. I EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH A FAULTY AIR BAG ESPECIALLY SINCE MY 14 YEAR OLD OFTEN SAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH MY YOUNGER SON AGE 2 1/2 SITTING DIRECTLY BEHIND THEM. I STATED I AM PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND SOMETIMES CANNOT DRIVE SO MY HUSBAND AND MY CARE ASSISTANT OFTEN DROVE FOR ME THUS PUTTING EVEN MORE PEOPLE AT RISK. AFTER NOT RECEIVING NOTIFICATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP 2 MONTHS LATER, I CALLED SEVERAL TIMES, LEAVING MESSAGES YET DIDN'T RECEIVE A RESPONSE. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN MORE THAN UNDERSTANDING AND PATIENT. THAT DAY I BOUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP I SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR COMPARABLE TO MY 300 TO USE UNTIL THE PARTS ARRIVED AND MY CAR FIXED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND NOW FOR OVER 15 MONTHS IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME ASSISTANCE PLEASE IN RESOLVING THE ISSUE. OUR RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN MANAGED WITH PROVIDING ME A RENTAL CAR SIMILAR TO MY 300 UNTIL THE PARTS ARRIVED AND OUR CAR FIXED. WHAT STEPS DO I NEED TO TAKE TO GET MY CAR FIXED AND US A RENTAL? ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED PLEASE. I AM HEARING IMPAIRED SO COMMUNICATION VIA EMAIL IS BEST.

THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) HAS FAILED ON MY VEHICLE. AT FIRST IT STARTED AS A DEAD BATTERY WHICH WAS REPLACED, THEN A PARASITIC DRAW WHICH COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED RIGHT AWAY, THEN CAUSED MY STARTED NOT TO HAVE POWER. THE CAR WOULD TURN ITSELF ON WHILE IT WAS TURNED OFF AND MAKE THE LIGHTS BUG OUT AND HORN SOUND. THEN IT WOULD STOP AND START AGAIN MULTIPLE TIMES DRAINING THE BATTERY. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN STATES AND I STOPPED FOR GAS WHEN MY CAR NO LONGER STARTED AND WAS STRANDED THERE FOR HOURS BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN. ITS STATIONARY WHEN THE CAR WOULD TURN ITSELF ON AND OFF.

SPECIFIC PROBLEM: HEATH VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE CHRYSLER 300 2010 MODELS ARE THE HEATING (OR) INTERIOR HEATING SYSTEM. STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING, WHETHER YOUR ARE TRAVELING OR PARKED IDLE (MOTOR RUNNING) FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO, THE VEHICLE WOULD START GETTING WARM AND YOU WOULD FEEL THE HEAT COMING FROM THE ARM REST AND UNDER THE DASH BOARD EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE THE HEAT TURNED OFF, AND ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. HERE IS THE CATCH. SAY YOU ARE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY OR LOCAL STREETS FOR TWO (2) HOURS, YOU WOULD FEEL THE ARM REST VERY WARM AND YOUR FEET ARE WARMER THAN USUAL. IF YOU LIFT THE ARM REST UP AND STICK YOUR HAND INSIDE THE POCKET YOU WOULD FEEL THE HEAT COMING OUT OF THERE. YOU ALSO FEEL THE HEAT COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH BOARD BY THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. WHEN TRAVELING AND BREATHING-IN THE HEAT YOU WOULD FEEL LIKE YOU ARE TIRED AND WANT TO SLEEP, WHEN IN FACT YOU DON'T. THIS IS HAPPENING IN ALL OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED MODEL, 2010 OF CHRYSLER. I FIRST NOTICED IT IN 2011 WHEN I GOT THE FIRST VEHICLE, AND THEN IN 2016 WHEN I GOT A SECOND (2ND) ONE (CHRYS. 300 2010) (USED). WHEN AIR TRAVELING I USUALLY RENT THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE FROM RENTAL CAR COMPANIES AND THE SAME THIN IS HAPPENING WITH THE HEAT COMING OUT OF THE ARM REST AND THE FROM THE DASH BOARD (FLOOR). I MEANT TO WRITE ABOUT THIS MATTER FOR A WHILE, BUT ONLY NOW I AM GETTING TO IT. IN CLOSING, HERE IS WHAT YOUR AGENCY SHOULD DO IN CONDUCTING YOUR OWN SURVEY. HAVE YOUR DRIVERS OR ANY EMPLOYEES THAT HAS THE ABOVE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE, TRAVEL IN IT FOR TWO (2) HOURS, THEN HAVE THEM FEEL THE ARM REST, THEY WOULD SEE HOW WARM IT IS. HAVE THEM LIFT UP THE ARM REST AND PLACE THEIR HAND INSIDE, ASK THEM IF IT IS HOT OR WARM. ASK THEM HOW WARM IS THEIR FEET THERE AT THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. YOU WOULD AGREE THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG.

FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, MY RPM WILL JUMP TO OVER 3 WHILE BARELY PRESSING ON THE GAS. THIS ISSUE TENDS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN I SLOW DOWN (BUT NOT COMPLETELY STOP, LIKE AT A CHANGING LIGHT) AND ATTEMPT TO SPEED BACK UP. MY CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE VERY FAST BUT THE RPM WILL BE VERY HIGH. ALSO, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING A CONSTANT SPEED MY RPM WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN. I'VE ATTEMPTED TO USE MY AUTOSTICK TO GET THE RPM TO DROP BACK DOWN AND IT ONLY HELPS OCCASIONALLY. I'VE HAD SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, A NEW BATTERY, A TRANSMISSION FLUSH, WIRES REPLACED FOR THE THROTTLE BODY (THEY WERE BROKEN/BURNT), MY CAR SAID IT HAD THE WRONG OIL IN IT, SO I GOT ANOTHER OIL CHANGE, I'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLASHED TWICE. I'VE HAD 5 DIFFERENT PEOPLE/SHOPS LOOK AT MY CAR (INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP) AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S CAUSING IT, ALL REPAIRS HAVE TOTALED OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS SINCE HAVING THIS ISSUE, ROUGHLY $1,500. THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING AND THIS IS MY SECOND CHRYSLER 300C.

ON 1/12/2017 I TOOK MY CHRYSLER 300 TO MOORE CHRYSLER BECAUSE OF A GROWLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS SO THEY KEPT IT TWO DAYS CALLED SAID IT WAS DONE PAYED 1517.99 DOLLARS DROVE IT HOME, PULLED IN THE GARAGE HEARD THE SAME SOUND AS WHEN I TOOK IN THE FIRST TIME CALLED THEM TOLD ME BRING IT BACK FOR ANOTHER 1400.00 DOLLARS WE'LL LOOK AT IT NO WAY TOOK TO A MAN WHO BUILDS ENGINES FOR A LIVING HE TOOK THE OIL CAP OFF PUT HIS EAR DOWN TO THE ENGINE AND SAID YOUR TIMING CHAIN GUIDES ARE GONE THERE RUBBING METAL TO METAL AND IF YOU DON'T GET IT FIXED YOU WILL BLOW AN ENGINE. HE SAID THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 70MPH AND THE ENGINE BLOWS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SO I MAY KILL OR HURT MYSELF OR THOSE WITH ME OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT KILLING OR HURTING SOMEONE ELSE. CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SINCE 2014 OR EARLIER BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON THE 2.7 ENGINES HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE OR BE HURT BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED? IT COST ME AN OTHER 1100.00 DOLLAR TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED BUT I KNOW IT'S DONE RIGHT. I FEEL NOW I CAN TAKE FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN MY CAR AND FEEL SAFE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL CHRYSLER CORP. TO GET OFF SOME OF THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY GET FROM CUSTOMER WHO BUY THEIR CARS AND FIX WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED 1517.99 DOLLARS TO CHRYSLER WALK AROUND MONEY BUT TO A VIETNAM VETERAN ON A FIXED INCOME IT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

WHILE DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN BEFORE MERGING ONTO BUSY TRAFFIC ON A MAIN ROAD WHEN MY CAR CUT OFF. I TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN BUT IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. AFTER TOW ATTEMPTS I STOPPED TRYING TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND SIGNALED FOR THE CARS BEHIND TO TRY TO GO AROUND (AS THIS WAS NOT EASY AS I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC). NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON, OR CAME ON PREVIOUSLY, I MAINTAINED ADEQUATE 3000 MI OIL CHANGES, AND MAINTENANCE. MEANWHILE A POLICE OFFICER HELPED ME PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND MOVED ME OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AND STAYED NEAR WHILE I WAITED ON THE TOW TRUCK. I AM GRATEFUL THAT MY CAR DID NOT STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS TRANSPORTING MY CHILD. THE THOUGHT OF MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLING IS FRUSTRATING AND SCARY! WITH THE MILEAGE OF MY CAR, THE ENGINE SHOULD BE THE LEAST OF MY WORRIES.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM CARMAX. THE NEXT DAY AFTER PURCHASE I EXPERIENCED JOLTS WITH ACCELERATING OR COMING TO A STOP. IT SEEM TO WORSEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURES WERE ABOUT 30 DEGREES. BY WARMING THE CAR IT WOULD ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE PROBLEM, BUT STILL OCCURRED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST THREE TIMES, THEY CLAIM TO FIND NO ISSUE. ONCE THEY DID A PCM/TCM SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I EVEN INFORMED TO CHECK THE CONVERTER, BUT CHRYSLER FAILED TO DO IT. NOW HERE WE ARE AND THE TEMPERATURES ARE DROPPING THE PROBLEMS IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS FAILING TO ADMIT. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN SINCE THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING. THE CAR ONLY HAVE ABOUT 35000 MILES ON IT. MY PREVIOUS 2007 CHRYSLER 300 PERFORMED LIKE A DREAM COMPARED TO THE NEW MODEL THAT I HAVE. I WISH CHRYSLER WILL STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, BUT I KNOW THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. *TR

ON THANKSGIVING 2012 , I WAS COMING BACK FROM OUT OF TOWN AND DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED A BIT OF SMOKE. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE THE NIGHT WAS COLD IT APPEARED AS IF SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR. HOWEVER, AFTER NOTICING THAT THE SMOKE GOT A BIG BIGGER, I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THERE WAS FIRE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOOD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS. I ORDERED MY FAMILY INCLUDING MY 2 YEAR OLD BACK OUT OF THE CAR AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD EXPLODE. WE WAITED UNTIL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED BUT BY THEN THE FLAMES SUBSIDED. I WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR AND HALF IN THE COLD FOR AAA TO TOW MY CAR 154 MILES. I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT FOR THE TOW UP TO THIS DAY. TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO AAMCO AND THEY SAID A PLUG WAS MISSING AND ENGINE OIL LEAKED OUT ON THE MUFFLER AND CAUSED THE FIRE. NEXT INCIDENT, CAR STARTED STALLING ON ME SEVERAL TIMES. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RE-PROGRAMMED (APRIL 2013). A WEEK AFTER GETTING THE COMPUTER FIXED, THE CAR STARTED STALLING AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. GOT THAT FIXED AND 3 MONTHS LATER, THE CAR STARTED STALLING AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. GOT THE BATTERY PUT IN AND THEN IN JUNE OF 2014, I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I SMELLED SMOKE LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. AFTER GETTING INDEPENDENT DIAGNOSIS FROM THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. GOT THE ENGINE REBUILT AND AS OF SATURDAY JAN 24TH, 2015, CAR STARTED STALLING AGAIN BUT THIS TIME, ONLY WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS CAR! HELP! *TR

I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON HWY I-81 IN STATE OF VIRGINIA WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET ON 70 MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT. I WAS TRAVELING IN LINE WITH THE TRAFFIC I.E., SEVERAL VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME, SEVERAL VEHICLES BEHIND ME, AND SEVERAL SEMI-TRUCKS ON MY RIGHT LANE, ALL AS A GROUP, NO ONE PASSING ANYONE, BUT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EACH OTHER, IE., THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 5 VEHICLE SPACES IN FRONT OF ME, THE ONES TO MY REAR WERE APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 VEHICLE SPACES, AND THE SEMI-TRUCKS WERE RIGHT IN LINE WITH ME ONE BEHIND THE OTHERS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EACH OTHER. I WAS STOPPED BY A STATE TROOPER WHO STATED THAT I WAS TRAVELING AT 85 MPH IN A 70 MPH ZONE AND WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A REASON FOR THAT. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD NO REASON SINCE I HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL ON 70 MPH. HE GAVE ME A TRAFFIC CITATION FOR RECKLESS DRIVING. UPON MY RETURN TO KENTUCKY, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO MY DEALER TO HAVE THE SPEEDOMETER AND CRUISE CONTROL CHECKED. MY DEALER'S TECHNICIAN COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY RAN A 23 POINT CHECK (WHATEVER THAT MEANS) AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE SPEEDOMETER. EITHER THEY ARE NOT SYNCHRONIZED OR THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I WOULD LIKE SOMEBODY KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE TO INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHAT CAUSED THIS. I WILL NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN UNTIL SOMEONE GUARANTEES TO ME THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM HERE. *TR

THE DEALER ADVISED THAT STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT THE CORRECT STEERING WHEEL FOR HIS VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WERE WORKING ON A REMEDY.
