POWER TRAIN

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY. There is a backorder(700) from the factory on this product and the wait is at least 3 months! This problem has been confirmed by the dealership as well as the backorder. The vehicle will not go in gear even with the engine running. The message displays as vehicle is already in desired gear even when it is not, and you cannot put it unto any gear even neutral, as it gets stuck in park!. The code is PO658, and the CHECK ENGINE light is illuminated and can happen without warning while vehicle is parked, stopped or idling so far as I experienced. The ignition will not turn off and the battery must be disconnected in order not to drain the battery. If this were to happen in traffic or or an intersection we all could have been KILLED. It has happened 4 times to us, Two times it started working on its own and Two times requiring a tow which cost me $600. Once at the dealer they charge a $140 non-refundable diagnosis fee and then can't fix the problem because they don't have the parts and can't get them. I think allowing Vehicles to have electronic shifting transmissions instead of manual shifters is a HUGE safety risk! The car only has 70K Highway miles on it and even if it was under warranty we can't get the darn parts. The dealer has to install it because it has to be programmed. The transmission is manufactured by ZF in Germany and they make others for several other car manufacturers. Chrysler uses this transmission across their entire fleet so this failure defect could show up in any of their product line

The car will consistently slip from park to reverse when you try to exit the car. You have to push the shifter into park twice for it to remain in park. Very dangerous, as it WILL be in reverse if you are not careful exiting the car.

On or about February 17, 2022, the referenced 300C was taken to Elk Grove Chrysler due to a malfunction with the electronic shift. The car jumped into Park while in motion which was a Safety risk to others as well as myself. After consulting with service team, I was informed that the car had to undergo a diagnostic. A day later I was informed that there was a fault with the electronic shift which required repaired; however, parts were not in stock at this location. I was informed parts had to be ordered and would take approximately 2-3 weeks due to logistical issues. On Monday, February 28, 2022, technician reported that a part was received for the upper mechanism; however, it was determined that the lower mechanism needed repair. With this being said, these are the concerns I would like to address due to disagreement with the process. 1. This electronic shift was previously repaired in May 2014, due to recall. This issue could have resulted in a major safety issue. 2. Why is a Consumer paying for a "Repair to a Repair?" 3. As a Consumer with a low mileage vehicle under 59,000, why must I be responsible to pay Chrysler for a repair that is a "Safety Issue" and a factory recall issue. Obviously, this is a manufacture concern created by Chrysler. This was due to no fault of the consumer. In closing, as a Disabled widowed Senior Citizen having the car jump into parking during my travels affected my anxiety; causing a panic attack. This repair issue is affecting my health and livelihood. I have been without a vehicle and a means to take care of quality of life tasks. Thank you for your time and attention to my concern.

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.

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.

LIGHTING IS TO DIM, CANNOT SEE THE ROAD VERY WELL AT NIGHT AND THERE IS NO SIDE VISION AT ALL DUE TO THE DIMNESS OF THE LIGHTS. IF AN ANIMAL WERE TO JUMP IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT BEE SEEN UNTIL IT WAS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IF SOMEONE IS WALKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD GETTING READY TO CROSS THE STREET AND THE CAR IS GETTING READY TO TURN ONTO THAT STREET, THE PEDESTRIAN WOULD NOT BE SEEN AT ALL!

When the weather is very cold or it is raining or snowing my sunroof leaks into my car. The windshield fogs up and I am not able to drive the vehicle and the rear seat and floor is usually wet.

Feb 24, 2025

I recently purchased this vehicle used with roughly 50,000k miles and drove it for three weeks with no issue. Suddenly, one morning, the motor would not start when pushing the Start Button. Instead the Start button became locked in the Run position but the engine did not engage. I removed my foot from the brake, pushed Start again and it would not return to the Off position. I opened the door thinking maybe it would reset this problem..... the entire dash Icons, headlights, Nav screen, tachometer, and speedometer start flashing and the windshield wipers are going, while stuck in in the off position. A very low pulsating sound is emanating from the engine compartment. I ran to the trunk to disconnect the battery, with the key fob in my pocket, but the button on lid does not open the lid. I run back to the dash and push the trunk release but received no result. I pulled the rear seats down crawled into the trunk and pulled the emergency trunk release and was finally able to open it. Instead of disconnecting the battery, I attempted to jump it with another vehicle. The vehicle was still in the Run position and all of the other components were continuing to malfunction as stated above. The vehicle "started" and began emmiting exhaust but I still had no response in the gas peddle. I then attempted to turn the vehicle to the off position, which worked only after jumping the vehicle and emitting the exhaust. Once the vehicle was shut off I attempted to restart the vehicle as usually and it worked no problem. It has started and ran fine for 2 days but I am extremely concerned about my safety in driving this vehicle due to reading other consumer experiences with a malfunctioning TIPM in this model and year of vehicle.

STEERING

5 complaints

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 9 YEARS, AND TAKEN IT IN FOR NUMEROUS OIL CHANGES AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTIONS. ONE ITEM THAT IS INCLUDED TO BE SERVICED IS TO CHECK AND TOP OFF (IF NEEDED) THE POWER STEERING FLUID. DUE TO WHERE THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND PUMP IS LOCATED, THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND FENDERWELL COVER MUST BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE TWO PARTS. THIS IS QUITE A BIT OF LABOR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTION, YET THE SERVICE REP ASSURES ME THAT THE STEERING FLUID HAS BEEN CHECKED, EVEN THOUGH THE NOISE AND STIFF STEERING IS STILL PRESENT. MY CONCERN IS THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT CHECKING THE POWER STEERING FLUID DUE TO A FAULTY LOCATION DESIGN AND THE LABOR REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE PARTS THAT NEED SERVICING FOR ROUTINE MAINTAINANCE; THE ALTERNATIVE FOR THEM IS A PROFITABLE STEERING PUMP REPLACEMENT. FROM MY OBSERVATION, THE FENDERWELL COVER HAS NEVER LOOKED AS THOUGH IT WAS REMOVED TO CHECK THE STEERING FLUID.

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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

3 complaints

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.

Oct 04, 2019

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.

The front passenger door panel has separated at the top leaving an open gap between the window and the door. It appears that the rubber molding was not manufactured properly and as heat from the sun warms up the molding, it deforms, pulls up and separates. The problem has continued to worsen over time and is approaching the door locking mechanism. It is also now possible for water to get to the inside of the door. This is a NON-MOVING PART that was defective at the time of manufacture, but took time to malfunction.

My car has been at the first dealership (Brewbaker Dodge, Montgomery, Ala.) on November 11, 2020. I got the car back March of 2021. The problem of misfires on cylinder 1 side, hesitation when proceeding from a red light, and stalling out. The problem continued so; I took it to another dealership (Stiver Dodge, Prattville, Ala.) in August 2021. I was given the car back in February 2022 stating to me that the problem may correct itself after being driven until after my birthday (March 2022). So, to this date my car is still at the Dealership and Chrysler Star Team has no clue what is wrong with this car. I'm still paying a car note, insurance, and renewing the license plate for this car every year and moth. Chrysler knows that there is an issue with the 3.6L Pentastar engine. No one wants to help me in this situation, but all parties involved wants my money but no real solution(s). I need someone that's going to advocate for me on my behalf. I just want Chrysler at this point to just put a new engine in the dang car and cover the charges at their expense for their defective engine. Chrysler seriously knows what's going. As long as my car has been at this Dealership For over a year, how could the engineers who designed this engine not know what's wrong with? This car has very low miles to be 8yrs old with major issue. And FCA doesn't want to admit to this engine (3.6L Pentastar) being a defective engine. Look at the class action lawsuits pertaining to this. Please Sir / Ma'am help me make sense of this. Thank you.

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.

I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE ASSESSED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE SHOCKS, STRUTS, TIE RODS AND BRUSHELS TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS GIVEN A ESTIMATION OF $3000.00 DOLLARS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MUFFLER EXHAUST PIPE HAD RUSTED AND COME APART THUS CALLING THE CAR TO SOUND AS LOUD AS AN 18 WHEELER. I WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND THE DODGE CHARGER . THE REPAIR COST ON THIS WAS ESTIMATED TO BE 800.00 - 1100.00 DOLLARS ALONE. PLEAS INVESTIGATE THESE COMPLAINTS BECAUSE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE ACTIONS.DURING THE COURSE OF MY OWN INVESTIGATION I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS GO BACK AS FAR BACK AS THE 2005 MODEL CHRYSLER 300.

I PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER 300 IN 2014 AND PAID CASH 25,000 AND ONLY HAVE 17,000 BECAUSE I FEAR FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE IT. 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. ON A SECOND OCCASION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY THE CAR CONTINUED TO PUT ITSELF IN PARK AND WHILE TRYING TO REVERSE MY CAR WENT INTO PARK. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I AGAIN CONTACTED A TOWING COMPANY WHERE THEY TOWED ME TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. AGAIN AFTER 2 YEARS I AM STILL FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL. MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND VISE VERSA. PLEASE HELP I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, MY HUSBAND HAS RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH PROSTATE CANCER AND I NEED THIS VEHICLE IN ORDER TO WORK AND TAKE HIM TO HIS DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. AT THIS RATE WE WILL BOTH NEED DOCTORS IF I'M NOT DEAD FIRST. THIS IS MY FINAL ATTEMPT TO GET ASSISTANCE WITH VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP HAS MADE ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I AM COMPLETELY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE EACH TIME I DRIVE.

I PURCHASED MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300C BRAND NEW FROM A CHRYSLER DODGE AND JEEP CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP. SINCE THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS. 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. ON SEPTEMBER OF 2016 ALL MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO GO HAYWIRE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, GAUGES GOING UP AND DOWN, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING BY ITSELF, LIGHTS ON AND OFF ETC, THIS HAPPEND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, WE PULLED OVER TURNED OFF THE CAR, TURNED IT BACK ON STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. TOOK TO DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS POWER STEERING PUMP. SO THEY REPLACED. ABOUT A MONTH LATER MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR ACCELERATED TO HI RATE OF SPEED BY ITSELF. AFTER SHE GAINED CONTROL SHE DROVE HOME. NOW 2 DAYS AGO WE HAD THE SAME ELECTRICAL HAYWIRE MALFUNCTION, THIS TIME AS ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS THAT HAPPENED AS LAST TIME THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF, WE PULLED OVER TO GAS STATION, TRIED TO TURN ON AND CAR WAS DEAD, HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ETC LIGHT ON.THIS CAR HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY.

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.

I PROCEEDED TO LEFT LANE TO PASS THE OTHER VEHICLE (TRUCK) AS I BEGAN PASSING MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO A SPEED OF OVER 85MPH WITHOUT MY TOUCHING EITHER THE GAS PEDAL OR THE RES BUTTON OF THE CRUISE FEATURE. I THEN HAD TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE AND BRAKE THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. IT WAS TERRIFYING. THIS HAPPENED MORE THEN ONCE DURING MY TRIP. I HAD THE VEHICLE INTO CHRYSLER BEFORE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER TURNED THE HEATED SEAT FEATURE AND HEATED STEERING WHEEL FEATURE ON WITHOUT MY TOUCHING THE BUTTONS.

BRAND NEW 2014 CHRYSLER 300 S PURCHASED 12/5/2014 . 595 MILES ON ODO TODAY, 1/17/2015. DRIVING HOME TODAY I NOTICED A SPLIT SECOND SURGE, LIKE THE BRAKES GRABBED, LIKE THE CAR LURCHED. SHORTLY AFTER I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. PULLED OVER AND SHUT/STARTED THE ENGINE. CHECK ENGINE STILL THERE. STARTED OUT FROM THE CURB, AND THE ENGINE REVVED TO APPROX. 3000 BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVED, THE TRANSMISSION LAGGED RELATIVE TO ENGINE SPEED. [I.E.NOT ENGAGING OR SLIPPING]. GRADUALLY IT PICKED UP SPEED. STOPPED AGAIN SAME THING. TRIED TO SHIFT TO SPORT MODE WITH OUT SUCCESS....NO SPORT MODE, SO PADDLE SHIFTERS ALSO FAILED . I COULD SHIFT TO P,R,N,D. NOT SPORT MODE. A SHORT WHILE AFTER I WAS HOME, I STARTED THE CAR, CHECK ENGINE STILL LIT. WHILE STILL PARKED NOW I COULD SHIFT TO SPORT MODE. DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE IN DRIVE, BUT ECO NOT SHOWING IN INFOMAT DISPLAY. SPORT MODE/PADDLE SHIFTERS NOW WERE WORKING BUT WOULD NOT SHIFT TO 8TH GEAR. PRIOR TO THIS EVENT, AND HOURS BEFORE IT TOOK PLACE.....I PAIRED MY CELL PHONE AND IT AUTOMATICALLY LOADED ALL MY CONTACTS. I USED BOTH CONTACTS AND VOICE RECOGNITION TO MAKE CALLS NO PROBLEMS. SO IT WAS WORKING GREAT EARLIER IN THE DAY. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TOOK PLACE [EXPLAINED ABOVE] I TRIED TO MAKE A CALL, AND THE SCREEN SHOWED "NO PHONE CONNECTED".. EVERYTHING INCLUDING CONTACTS EVAPORATED LIKE I NEVER PAIRED THE CELL. I WOULD THINK BOTH PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED. *TR
