A WEEK PASSED AND I HAD TO CALL THEM, AND THAT'S WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WIRELESS MODULE DEVICE WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THAT THEY WEREN'T SURE WHEN THE PART WOULD BE IN... 8 WEEKS LATER THE PART FINALLY CAME AND THEY ADDED THE PART AND IT STILL WOULDN'T WORK, SO THEY SAID THEY WHERE GOING TO HAVE TO ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS TEST ON IT.. AFTER THAT THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PUT A NEW STARTER AND NEW WIRES ON IT BECAUSE THEY WIRES WERE MELTED AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THEM OUT. OK SO THEY FIXED THAT ISSUE AND THEN SAID IF I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN I WOULD NEED A NEW TIPM MODULE DEVICE..

MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON 6/14/2013 IT WAS TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (9600 ATLANTIC BLVD. JACKSONVILLE, FL (904) 721-6888) ON 6/14/2013 THIS WAS AFTER HOURS. ON 6/14/2013 I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR NEEDED A WIN MODULE AND IT WOULD TAKE THREE WEEKS TO COME IN. WHEN ASKING FOR A EXACT DATE I WAS TOLD ON 6/18/2013 THAT THE PART WOULD NOT BE IN UNTIL JUY 23 BUT IT MAY COME IN A LITTLE EARLIER. I ASKED ABOUT A RENTAL CAR I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE A DISCOUNT OF $25 A DAY. AFTER TALKING TO THE MANGER I WAS TOLD TO CALL CHRYSLER CORPORATION TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE. AFTER TALKING WITH CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THAT THE COULD NOT GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THEY TOLD ME ALL THEY COULD DO FOR ME WAS FIND ME A PART. I DID NOT HEAR FROM THEM CONCERNING THIS SITUATION. ON JULY 18, I RECIEVED A CALL FROM LISA FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT BE READY UNTIL AUGUST 20 BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO MANUFACTOR THE PART. THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THIS PART ANY WHERE IN JACKSONVILLE. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT A RENTAL CAR OR ANY COMPENSATION NOTHING WAS OFFERED. I WAS ONLY TOLD TO CALL THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. WHEN CALLING THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION THERE DID NOT TRY TO ASSIST ME THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT OFFER ME A RENTAL CAR OR ANYTHING FOR MY INCONVIENCE. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A MANGER THEY STATED THEY THE MANAGER WOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING DIFFERENT AND WOULD NOT LET ME SPEAK TO A MANAGER. THIS SITUATION HAS INCONVIENED ME IN MANY WAYS I DON'T HAVE ANY TRANSPORTAION TO GET WHERE I NEED TO BE AND I AM LOSING MONEY . CHRYSLER OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WHEN YOU CALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE. I AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH CHRYSLER THEY SEEM ONLY TO BE ABOUT MAKEING MONEY AND DOES NOT LOOK OUT FOR CUSTOMERS. IT SEEMS THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND THEY KEEP CHANGING THE DATE MY CAR WILL BE FIXED. IT IS NOT MY FAULT THE ABOUT THE PART BUT I AM BEING PENALIZED FOR THIS. *TR

I WAS STOP AT THE LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGE, I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND I HEARD A TERRIBLE NOISE THAT SOUND LIKE A FLAT TIRE. I QUICKLY PULL OFF THE ROAD AND FOUND OUT THE IT WAS MY RADIATOR AND RED FLUID WAS COMING OUT. I FOUND OUT LATER AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER REPAIR SERVICE THAT THE FANS HAD CAME A LOOSE AND PUNCTURE THE RADIATOR. HE STATED THAT SEVERAL OF THE SAME TYPE OF CAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FANS COMING LOOSE AND PUNCTURING THE RADIATOR. THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THAT PART AND I SHOULD BE REFUNDED THE MONEY I HAD TO SPEND TO GET IT REPAIRED. *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

I HAVE REPLACED EVERYTHING ON MY FRONT END TRYING TO GET RID OF NOISES, LIKE METAL HITTING METAL AND NOTHING HAS WORKED. I HAVE REPLACED MY SHOCKS SEVERAL TIMES AND THE RIDE IS STILL ROUGH. I FEEL THAT THE MONEY I HAVE SPENT SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. THE CAR'S SUSPENSION HAS BEEN HORRIBLE. I HAVE SPOKE WITH THE DEALER AND HAD HIM REPAIR SEVERAL PARTS AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER, THESE CARS HAVE THE SAME SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. ONCE THEY GET SO MANY MILES ON THEM THEY ALL TEND TO MAKE NOISES NO ONE CAN FIND. AT WHAT POINT DOES THE MANUFACTURER OR THE GOVERNMENT STEP IN AN TAKE CARE OF ALL THESE PROBLEMS, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED ON THEM AT THIS POINT.

MY CAR HAS BEEN CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES THIS YEAR. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS A WAKE UP CALL THAT I COULD NOT IGNORE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15MPH MAKING A LEFT TURN ON TO A BUSY STREET FROM ANOTHER BUSY STREET AND BEFORE I COULD COMPLETE THE TURN IT CUT OFF WITH CARS BEHIND ME AND TO MY LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AND STARTED TO VEER INTO THE OCCUPIED RIGHT LANE. I HAD MY TOO YOUNG DAUGHTERS WITH ME AND IT WAS VERY SCARY. I WAS ABLE TO CUT THE CAR BACK ON IMMEDIATELY BUT THIS WAS UNSAFE. THE OTHER TIMES I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND DID NOT HAVE TO USE THE WHEEL TO STEER. I HAD NO IDEA THAT IF THE CAR CUTS OFF THE STEERING GOES WITH IT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO CHRYSLER WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE IT, I THEN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE IT. HE KEPT THE CAR FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS TO SEE IF HE COULD REPLICATE THE ISSUE - HE COULDN'T. THERE WAS ANOTHER CHRYSLER 300 MY MECHANIC SAID JUST GOT DROPPED OFF WITH THE VERY SAME ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER WHO SAID TO TAKE IT BACK IN AND THEY WILL WORK WITH US TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW BECAUSE I AM NOT CONFIDENT IT WILL GET FIXED AND I BELIEVE THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE PUBLIC. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE OTHERS MAY IGNORE IT AT FIRST LIKE I DID. BUT WHEN MY YOUNG GIRLS WHERE IN THE CAR AND I HAD NO CONTROL, I HAD TO TAKE ACTION. *TR

ON 2/27/2014 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS POURING RAIN OUT, AND I HAD ZERO VISIBILITY ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON TO THE SHOULDER, WHERE I WAITED APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK LATER THAT DAY, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ONCE AGAIN, MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREE WAY. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR STARTED AND GET HOME SAFELY , ALTHOUGH I WAS TERRIFIED. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON 3/1/2014. TECH STATED IT WAS A BAD WIPER MOTOR, PART REPLACED AND STILL WIPERS WILL NOT WORK. REPLACED FUSES AND RELAYS AS RECOMMENDED PER DEALER TECH, STILL WIPERS WILL NOT WORK I HAVE SPENT OVER 500$ IN THESE REPAIRS AND STILL MY WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING. NOW THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT I HAVE A BAD TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). HOWEVER, I AM UNABLE TO GET MY CAR FIXED SINCE THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. APPARENTLY CHRSYLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW SINCE THE PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLES WITH A DEFECTIVE TIPM. THE DEALER HAS GIVEN ME AN ESTIMATE OF 1200$ FOR REPLACING THE TIPM. IT'S VERY AGGRAVATING SINCE NOW I MUST PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG SINCE NOT EVEN DEALERS KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER, DODGE OR JEEP PRODUCT AGAIN. AFTER DOING SOME EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT SEVERAL MODELS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE PAINT ON THE TRUNK AND HOOD HAVE STARTED FADING TO THE POINT OF RUSTING IN CERTAIN AREAS. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY STATED IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, WHICH IT WASN'T.

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CHRYSLER 300, 2008 MODEL WITH MY ENGINE SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. SINCE 2012, IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON THE FREEWAY, ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT, AND AT LEAST 8 OR 9 TIMES WHERE IT REFUSES TO START THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW (80 MILES, COMING IN FROM ORLANDO, I WAS TOLD) IN 2008. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE), AND I HAD TO PAY $597 FOR THE REPAIR. WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF ALL BY ITSELF INT HE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY, I HAD ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND HAD TO MAKE A QUICK SWERVE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY (SHOULDER) AS QUICKLY AS I COULD WHILE THE TIRES WERE STILL MOVING IN ORDER TO STAY SAFE. THAT WAS SIMPLY DANGEROUS AND WOULD HATE TO SEE OTHERS WHO PERHAPS MAY HAVE CHILDREN IN THEIR CAR GO THROUGH THE SAME EXPERIENCE. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP STATED:"TIPM INTERNAL FAILURE CAUSING INTEM NO START AND DELAY WHEN START 2.00" THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED, AND EVIDENTLY, THERE ARE FORUMS ON THE WEB, AS WELL AS MANY ARTICLES AND USER COMMENTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. KINDLY ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH URGENCY BEFORE SOMEONE IS HARMED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHY BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO HOSES THAT FORM AN X, AND AT THE POINT WHERE THEY INTERSECT (THE METAL BANDS) ARE RUBBING TOGETHER FROM VIBRATION OF THE CAR. I DID ASK THE MECHANIC IF ANYTHING ELSE (E.G. CAR ACCIDENT, ROUGH ROADS) COULD HAVE CAUSED IT AND HE SAID NO. I ALSO ASKED IF THE INTERSECTION OF THE HOSES COULD BE FIXED BY MOVING THEM SO THEY DON'T RUB TOGETHER AND HE SAID NO. IT REALLY IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

I WAS GOING DOWN A SIDE STREET BY MY HOUSE AND I WENT OVER A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD AND SURPRISINGLY MY WINDSHIELDS WENT ON! I PULLED OVER WITH MY HUSBAND AND WE COULDN'T SHUT THEM OFF! HE LOOKED IT UP IN THE DRIVERS MANUAL TO NO AVAIL SO WE DROVE IT OVER TO OUR LOCAL GARAGE ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH THE WIPERS GOING. THE GUYS SAID THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO IS GO ON THE TOP ON THE BATTERY AND PULL THE FUSE..SO THAT'S WHAT I HAD TO DO TO USE THEM. ONCE YOU PUT THE FUSE IN, THEY DO NOT STOP. I GOT A DIAGNOSTIC, RIP OFF THERE, CHARGED WAY TO MUCH,, THEY SAID THE WIPER MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED..IT WAS AND NOTHING GOT FIXED..SO I WENT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE I KNEW I'D BE PAYING $$$ BUT IT HAD TO BE DONE...PAID FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC, THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING THAT STARTED WITH A TI? WISH I HAD THE PAPER WITH ME...SO THEY CHARGED $547 TO DO 3 HOURS OR WORK AND ONLY HALF FIXED IT..BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT IS NOW 10/2013! STILL NOT FIXED...CHRYSLER NOW SAID THEY'D HAVE TO PULL OUT THE DASHBOARD AND IT MAY COST ANOTHER $400 AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT WILL BE?! A $20 RELAY SWITCH I BET! BOY I GOT BURNED ON THIS LEMON..OH THERE'S MORE LET ME MAKE ANOTHER COMPLAINT! *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT WARMERS MALFUNCTIONED AND ENDED UP TURNING ON BY ITSELF AND OVERHEATING AND IN TURN, BURNING THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I INITIALLY PARKED THE CAR WHERE I USUALLY DO AND WAS PLANNING ON TAKING THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BY MY HOME. I WOKE UP ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 31, 2011, WALKED UP TO MY CAR (WHICH HAD BLACK WINDOWS FROM THE SMOKE FROM THE FLAMES) AND OPENED MY CAR DOOR TO FIND MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BURNED TO ASHES. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE SITUATION WITH MY CAR IS BEING FIXED AND CHRYSLER IS TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. I PULLED UP SOME INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER CHRYSLER CARS WITH SEAT WARMERS AND OTHER PEOPLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT OVERHEATING AND BURNING THEIR DRIVERS SEAT TO ASHES. *TR
