The drive shaft broke and had to be replaced. This resulted in lack of stability prior to the break and mobility was comprimised after it broke. The car was repaired at Wayne's Precision and Transmission auto repair in Bumpass, Virginia on November 4th, 2022. The state of Virginia requires annual car inspections which we will have due next June. Symptoms prior to replacement of the drive shaft included clunking/knocking noises from underneath the car when the car was in motion. Modest noises first occured in August, three months prior to replacement, and proressively got worse until replacement was necessary.

Blend doors keep failing. Keeps switching from cold to hot.

Jan 18, 2025

At least 20 times. Driving down the highway doesn't matter if driving straight or cornering. The engine dies. Once I get it stopped. I put it back in park. Restart the engine and it runs. There are no codes, and can't get it to duplicate the problem at the garage. I've searched the internet and this seems to be a continuous problem and no one is finding the problem. From what I've read dealerships are just throwing parts at the problem. This is a safety issue. My daughter was almost rear-ended today.

Aug 15, 2024

I was driving on the highway with cruise and my car started to go limp, then started to accelerate without my foot on the gas. Then my check engine light came on and I pulled off and turned the car off and back on. It drove fine but when I went to have it checked they said it threw a code for my TCM. My coworker also drives a Chrysler 300 and had the same issue in the same week! He never got his checked out but his car stopped accelerating and then started again while on cruise. This is happening to a lot of Chryslers so I looked up recalls and it looks like the TCM was recalled in the 2016 300’s but my 2015 and his 2015 is having the same issues

Nov 12, 2023

The center console and both front door panels need to be replaced as the panel is pulling away from the doors and the console. Research shows that when the panels on the door requires repair, this could render side front air bags ineffective and the car can easily lose heat and allow cold air inside. Similarly, with the center console, this could cause the p/n/r/d gears to malfunction. I did contact Chrysler (case# 80922998) as was advised that my claim was declined because the 2-year warranty had been exceeded. My car is a 2015 Chrysler 300. The issue did not start until 2020. Research also revealed that many of the Chrysler 300s are experiencing this issue. Also, I did have the dealer to take a look at the panels when I went to have my car serviced on 10/27/2021 and was advised to submit a claim with Chrysler. Finally, please note that my car is a 2015 with only 19,609 miles as of 10/27/2021.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

5 complaints

This issue has been going on since February 2024. The vehicle will completely shutdown while driving ( no matter what speed I'm going ) it will say SERVICE THE SHIFTER and stop. The first time this happened I took (towed bc vehicle willl have no power since this a SAFTEY issue ) the Vero beach Chrysler dealership the vehicle to Commuter Cars in Port St Lucie which is the dealer I purchased the car from. They kept the vehicle for 2 weeks. I paid 644$ they said they replaced the shifter and that was the problem. 2 weeks later the same thing happened while driving , I took ( towed )the car to Chrysler . Chrysler charge me 200$ and said there was nothing wrong it was the safety recalls. 5 months later it happens again I take the car to Chrysler they charged me 1000$ and said it was some type of connecter . A month later it happens again I (towed) it to chysler they said the ECM shifter module had dried up coffee on it and they wiped it off and its working fine. They charge me 445$ said it needed a battery. Now it has happened again 2 months later and they are just now saying my ECM SHIFTER is bad. The service manager was rude and disrespectful. I have our conversation recorded. I said WHY am I just now knowing this after spending thousands of dollars towing this vehicle back and forth. My son and I could have been in a major accident because the car shuts completely down while driving. They never once check this and the car has been to them 4 times.

CLUSTER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH. THIS HAPPENED AT APPROX. 45K AND NOW AT 75K (MILEAGE). THE MODULE IS COMPLETELY NOT OPERATING, CONSTANTLY FLICKERS AND BLACKS OUT. NO FUEL MONITORING, TIRE PRESSURE, ENGINE COOLANT TEMP., ETC. PLEASE INVESTIGATE QUALITY AND MANUFACTURING TO RECALL THIS ITEM. ALSO, THE 2015 CHALLENGER HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE, FYI.

Sep 26, 2016

WHILE WALKING OUT OF THE STORE THE CAR WOULD NOT UNLOCK BY USING THE FOB. WHEN I OPENED IT MANUALLY AND PUSHED THE UNLOCK BUTTON, IT STILL WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I HAD TO HAVE EVERYONE CLIMB IN THROUGH MY DOOR TO GET TO THEIR SEATS. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT LOCK WITH THE FOB AND BY MANUALLY PUSHING THE BUTTONS. I HAVE NOW TAKEN IT IN TWICE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. AT RANDOM TIMES AND DAYS THE DOORS EITHER DO NOT UNLOCK, THEY WILL LOCK AND NOT LET PEOPLE OUT, OR THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN. IT HAPPENS WITH THE FOB OR BY PUSHING THE MANUAL BUTTONS. FOR BEING A BRAND NEW CAR IT HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING THAT NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND. IT HAS STAYED AT THE DEALER FOR 3 WEEKS AND AFTER GETTING IT BACK NOT 2 WEEKS HAVE PASSED WHERE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I JUST TOOK IT IN AGAIN THIS WEEK AND RECEIVED IT BACK SO I AM WAITING TO SEE IF IT IS FIXED OR IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

MY WIFE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE SHE WAS HIT IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AT HER DOOR, REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND FRONT FENDER WHILE TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION. IMPACT WAS 35-40 MPH. NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE HIT HER HEAD AND SHOULDER ON WINDOW CAUSING SEVERE PAIN TO HER HEAD,NECK AND COLLAR BONE, AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE FEEL THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED MORE PROBLEMS FROM HER IMPACT. I'M SURE WE PAID FOR THIS FEATURE IN THE CAR AND WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T WORK. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2015 CHRYSLER 300 IN MAY OF 2015 BRAND NEW; ON APRIL 18,2016 I SWERVED TO KEEP FROM HITTING A DEER IN WHICH THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER TWICE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE CONCERN OF THE AIRBAGS NOT IMPLODING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS 'TOTALED.' I KNEW BEFORE I HAD EVEN CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THAT THEY WOULD USE THE SENSORS AS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD AT LEAST OFFER ME SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION FOR WHAT THIS VEHICLE COST; A LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN LOST (SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN'T REPLACE) DON'T YOU AGREE THAT SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION SHOULD BE GIVEN?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

4 complaints

Headlight keeps failing. New bulb and worked for a bit then out again. Maybe fuse or wiring issue? Expensive to keep buying bulbs.

Feb 25, 2023

Lights in dash blink back and forth between bright and dim. When this happens headlights turn off. This happens frequently. Did not realize until recently that headlights were also affected.

Aug 21, 2022

I NOTICED ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WASN'T WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING & PARKED. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TURNED ON MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ALL OF THE LIGHTS FAILED, INCLUDING THE REAR LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENED AFTER DARK WHILE DRIVING SO I'M LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT! FROM THEN ON THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. TO GET ANY LIGHTS TO COME ON I HAD TO TURN THE KNOB AND RANDOM LIGHTS WOULD WORK. THE NEXT DAY, ONLY THE FOG LIGHTS WORKED WITH NO REAR LIGHTS OTHER THAN WHEN BRAKING. 2 DAYS LATER, ALL THE LIGHTS WORK EXCEPT THE 2 HEADLIGHTS! CRAZIEST THING EVER!

Oct 16, 2018

RUNNING HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO BRIGHT. SINCE THE PURCHSE OF THIS VEHICLE I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING OTHER DRIVERS FLICK THEIR HEADLIGHTS ON AT ME TO INFORM ME MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON, WHICH THEY ARE NOT! I JUST HAD AN INCIDENT LAST NIGHT, A DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME THOUGHT I WAS RUNNING MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON, THE DRIVER PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND GOT BEHIND ME WITH THEIR BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AS A WAY OF LETTING ME KNOW, THIS DRIVER WAS APPROX 10 INCHES OFF OF MY BUMPER DOING 50 MPH. PLEASE OFFER A DIMMER BULB. THIS ISSUE WILL INSUE "ROAD RAGE" FROM OTHER DRIVERS!

SUSPENSION

4 complaints

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN DEC. 2018, I WAS NOT GETTING A SMOOTH RIDE. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES( 5,000) AND 50,000; 60,000 SERVICE INTERVALS. AFTER A ROUGH SNOWY WINTER, I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES, FRONT END ALIGNMENT, AND STILL WASN'T GETTING SMOOTH RIDE. DEALER DETERMINED I NEEDED NEW FRONT STRUTS, ( PAID OVER $1,100 FOR THE STRUTS)AND ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. I'M STILL NOT GETTING A SMOOTH RIDE WHEREAS I FEEL EVERY BUMP I COME ACROSS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND MILDLY ON THE HIGHWAY.

Jul 24, 2019

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 15-25 MPH ON BOTH STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THE FRONT SUSPENSION GENERATES A SOUND THAT RELATES TO WORN BUSHINGS OR A 'LOOSE'STRUTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED ON THIS ISSUE. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOT RESOLVED SAME. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND APPARENTLY WITH OTHER VEHICLES IN THIS 300 MODEL. THEY HAVE PLACED THIS PROBLEM ON A 'STAR' LIST AND ARE TELLING ME THE PROBLEM WILL HAVE TO GET WORSE BEFORE ANY FURTHER CORRECTIONS WILL BE ADDRESSED. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM THIS DEALERSHIP AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR. TECHNICIANS HAVE RIDDEN WITH ME IN THE CAR AND CONFIRM THE ' LOOSE SOUND' IS PRESENT. THEY APPARENTLY DO NOT HAVE A RELIABLE SOLUTION!

May 22, 2019

THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS MAJOR RUSTING AND WAS NOTICED A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW AND AT THE TIME OF NOTICING THE RUST, IT HAD LESS THAN 200 MILES. I DO NOT LEAVE IN AN AREA THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO ANY ROAD SALT OR DE-ICING AGENT. THE RUST APPEARS TO MORE THAN JUST SURFACE RUSTING AND HAS CAUSED ALL THE BOLTS, BUSHING AND CONTROL ARMS TO HAVE MAJOR RUST AND IN SOME PARTS THE METAL IS FLAKING. I FEEL THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK AND NEVER HAVE SEEN THIS AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON A VEHICLE, MUCH LESS A BRAND NEW ONE

Sep 09, 2015

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 300S MODEL WITH LESS THEN 300 MILES ON IT HAS SERVER CORROSION DUE TO HEAVY RUSTING ON AND AROUND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER CONTROL ARMS AND BOLTS AND BUSHINGS. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND THE VEHICLE HASNT BEEN EXPOSED TO ANY HARSH CLIMATES WITHIN THE TWO WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES (TEST DRIVE MILES) WHEN PURCHASED. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THERE ARE SEVERAL LATE MODEL CHRYSLER'S 300 WITH THE SAME RUSTING ISSUE, IN SOME CASES SEVER CRASHES HAVE BEEN REPORTED DUE TO SUSPENSION BREAKING FROM RUST CORROSION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

3 complaints

Strong fuel Oder in car after fueling. It's been venting in the cabin and it makes you lightheaded after some time of driving. I've checked for leaks and no leaks. I suspect fuel is gathering under rear seats. The smell seems to be most prominent around the rear D/S seat and near the fuel nozzle entry area.

Jan 27, 2022

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I REFUELED MY VEHICLE WITHOUT TOPPING OFF. A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL CAN BE SMELLED IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR AFTER FUELING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN MORE WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN I PARKED TO INVESTIGATE THE STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, RAW FUEL COULD BE SEEN RUNNING FROM BEHIND THE WHEEL WELL ONTO THE GROUND. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITED FOR THE FUEL TO STOP HITTING THE GROUND BEFORE STARTING AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE AGAIN. MY CONCERN WAS THE FUEL LEAKING ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST AND CAUSING A FIRE.

Mar 24, 2021

CAR KEEPS SAYING SERVICE FUEL SENSOR. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR IN MARCH 2015 AND IN JUNE 2015 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GAS TANK PICTURE KELP BLINKING. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP IN DUNCANVILLE ,TX AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM. WELL MY CAR HAVE BEEN TO THE SHOP 5 TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OVER THE PAST 3 YRS. IT IS CURRENTLY DOING THE SAME THING AT THIS TIME SO THIS WILL MAKE THE 6TH TIME IT HAS TO GO TO THE SHOP FOR THIS ISSUE. MY WARRANTY IS OUT AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T EVEN GET MY CAR TO PASS INSPECTION UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED I DON'T KNOW IF THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THE PROBLEM BUT I REPORTED IT TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION LAST YEAR. .

This will be my 3rd time having this [XXX] Plastic oil filter/cooler housing replaced and this will be 2nd time having done less than a 2yr time-frame... But this time; after getting the oil changed at Walmart today, my car was about to catch on fire from majority of the oil was running done on the passenger side of the car where the transmission sits and burning off of the Hot [XXX] Catalytic Converter! It's [XXX] shame that Chrysler/Mopar had more than enough complaints about this well known Catastrophic Issue and won't take any Accountability for it... That's why Dorman [XXX] and a few more companies had at least stepped up to the plate and created an better version, of the oil filter cooler housing. Not only is it better but is also all aluminum and doesn't warp or become brittle under extreme conditions from atmospheric temperatures nor engine heat! [XXX] which eventually manifest as severe oil and coolant leaks. The number of complaints regarding the Pentastar V6 oil filter housing and cooler assembly is staggering. See them here, at [XXX] . There have been so many complaints – with the OE replacements even, that Chrysler has discontinued the manufacturing of the Pentastar oil filter housing and cooler assembly. Even more surprising is that Chrysler has known about this problem for a long time and has never issued a recall.

1. Rear differential failed before 100,000 miles. I was driving and I heard something metal fall in the back of the car. I pressed gas but was not able to move. After inspection and call for help, the part that fell on the ground was the rear differential. How can it just fall out while driving? I had to get it towed and repaired by a mobile mechanic. 2. The sunroof switch is faulty. Several times it has gotten stuck and won’t close. If it starts to rain, I have to pull over on the highway, cut the car off and on a few times and press the button until it closes. The sunroof will move forward like it’s going to close but doesn’t; it moves back and forth like it’s stuck on something. 3. The shifter is incredibly rough and hard. It sounds like something falling out of the car every time I shift from park to reverse and back to park. Very loud and the entire car jerks when shifting. There was a previous recall but the problem still persists. I’m afraid something else will fall out while driving.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL/ ABS LIGHT/ BRAKE LIGHT.. WHILE DRIVING THE ESC AND ABS POPPED ON TOGETHER, AFTER CRANKING BACK UP THE VEHICLES BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED, SOMETHING IS STOPPING THE VEHICLE FROM DRIVING NORMAL. UPON STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS THE CAR JERKS, ALSO IT SKIDS WHEN MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT HAND TURNS. THE CAR REVS WHEN ACCELERATING BUT THE RPMS ARE REDUCED AS IF IN LIMP MODE. THE CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY TWO LANE HIGHWAYS IT GRAVITATED TOWARDS THE DITCH THIS TIME I JUST COULD TURN THE WHEEL, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN.

THE ANTI LOCK BREAK AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS SPEED CONTROL IS DEACTIVATED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSORS, AS I HAVE HAD TWO OF THESE REPLACED OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. MY ACCOUNT MANAGER MADE THE COMMENT TO JUST "REPLACE" ALL OF THEM AS THIS IS A REGULAR PROBLEM. THE COST IS EXCESSIVE, COMING IN AT $400 PER SENSOR. THE LIGHTS HAVE NOW COME ON A 3RD TIME, SO THE ACCOUNT MANAGER WAS RIGHT. THE DATE WAS AUGUST 26, 2020. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES, SO I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED.

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 300S HAS A DIAL GEAR SHIFT THAT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. I RESIDE IN ND AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE FRIGID WEATHER. THE CARS DIAL SHIFT WAS STUCK AND II HAD MY TWO CHILDREN WITH ME IN THE COLD -40 TEMP AND -30 WINDCHILL. I HAD TO WALK TO GET HELP AND LEAVE MY KIDS IN VEHICLE. AFTER BEING STUCK FOR 4 HRS, I TRIED IT AGAIN AND THE SHIFT WENT INTO GEAR. IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL OCT 20TH AT 10:38 AM. THE WEATHER WAS NICE BUT THE SHIFT ONCE AGAIN LEFT MY KIDS AND I STRANDED AFTER PARKING AT A THRIFT STORE. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND 1 HR THE GEAR WORKED AGAIN. I'M A WIDOW WITH 2 UNDER AGE KIDS AND NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND THIS IS NOT IT. THE RADIO CHANGES STATIONS WHEN IT WANTS, AND THE HEATED SEATS AND HEAT WORK WHEN USED. THE HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WORKS WHEN IT FEELS BUT THE AIR DOES BLOW. THERE IS JUST NO HEAT!! FOR NORTH DAKOTA THAT'S NOT GOOD !! MY CAR IS CHRISTINE OR YOU BUILT A DANGEROUS UNSAFE CAR !! NOW, I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE DIAL SHIFT WILL COST ME $400, THE SEATS $300, AND THE ELECTRIC PROBLEMS ARE STARTING AT $500 PER BISMARCK REPAIR SHOPS, INCLUDING CHRYSLER!! I AM TAKING MY CAR TO EIDE CHRYSLER OCTOBER 27TH AT 9 AM AND WILL HAVE TO PAY LABOR COSTS WITH WHATEVER EXTRA THEY CHARGE BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT PPOR AND UNSAFE!! THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OFF BOTH TIMES. WHEN GETTING IN TO START IT , THE SHIFT WOULD NOT WORK. THE FIRST TIME WAS VERY COLD, THE SECOND WAS A NICE DAY. THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON FOR THESE EXPERIENCES.

1 complaint

MY REAR SUNROOF EXPLODED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES AN HOUR ON AN OVERCAST DAY WITH AN OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE OF APPROXIMATELY 52 DEGREES (F). MY WINDOWS WERE ALL CLOSED. WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A BIG BANG, AND WITHIN SECONDS I NOTICED THAT ME REAR SUNROOF HAD A LARGE HOLE IN IT. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE CAR DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR 15 MONTHS AGO. THEY INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND NOTED THAT IT WAS AN OUTWARD EXPLOSION AS THE REMAINING GLASS IN THE SUNROOF WAS PUSHED OUT, NOT IN. THEY ALSO INSPECTED THE CAR FOR ANY SIGNS THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE EXPLODED WITHIN THE CAR AND SHOT THROUGH THE ROOF - THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO SUCH SIGNS. THE CAR DEALERSHIP CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE DAMAGE AS IT WAS OBVIOUSLY THE RESULT OF SUBSTANDARD GLASS OR A DESIGN FLAW. CHRYSLER DENIED COVERAGE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR EXPLODING SUNROOFS AND FOUND OUT THAT MY EXPERIENCE WASN'T UNIQUE. THERE WERE MANY ACCOUNTS OF OTHER SUCH INCIDENCES, AND EVEN SOME RECALLS BY ONE OR TWO CAR MANUFACTURERS. MY CONCERNS ARE: 1) SAFETY. I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR, AND WAS NOT HURT. HOWEVER, I'M NOT SURE IF I HAD BACKSEAT PASSENGERS IF THEY WOULD HAVE ESCAPED INJURY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IF THE FRONT SUNROOF (OVER MY HEAD) WOULD HAVE EXPLODED INSTEAD OF THE REAR SUNROOF. 2) RESPONSIBILITY. THE DENIAL OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS INCIDENT BY CHRYSLER IS TROUBLING. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY AND EVEN PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS EXPLOSION WAS OBVIOUSLY CREATED BY A DESIGN FLAW OR THE USE OF SUBSTANDARD GLASS. 3) COST. THOUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RATHER EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR
