The alternator ceased up on me while I was driving on 7/12/2019. This almost caused an accident! I was driving around 55MPH and the steering and brakes completely locked up. I couldn't turn the wheel or stop my car. Eventually I slowed down and barely got the steering wheel to turn so I wasn't stuck right on the highway. My car was towed to a mechanic that replaced the alternator. I later received a recall notice in the mail for the alternator and have been trying to get reimbursed.

Per the local dealer inspection the PDC unit has faulty wiring which caused the fuse to burn severely in turn things begin to randomly stop working no sound from radio, doors will not lock at times, back up camera goes in and out.

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.

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.
Nov 09, 2020
TAILLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. NO BREAKLIGHTS AND NOT TURN SIGNALS. DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA FOR THE FAILURE. THERE ARE SEVERAL UNITS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A STATE TRAFFIC VIOLATION.
Apr 10, 2018
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS MODEL ARE THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN. FORWARD VISION IS SEVERELY LIMITED AND SIDE VISION IS PRACTICALLY NON-EXISTENT. THE ONLY INCIDENT I HAVE HAD SO FAR IS IMPACT WITH A RACCOON THAT DAMAGED THE FRONT FASCIA BUT THE RACCOON COULD JUST AS EASILY HAVE BEEN A PERSON OR LARGER ANIMAL. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE PROMPTLY BEFORE THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

HIGH AND LOW BEAMS SUCK. *TR
Aug 23, 2014
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

STEERING
6 complaints
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

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

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

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.

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.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300 WAS UNDER A RECALL FOR ALTERNATOR ISSUES. 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 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

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 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.

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!!!

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...

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 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.

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.

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.
