WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT RED LIGHT VEHICLE RPMS DROPPED ALMOST TURNED OFF. CAR WOULDNT ACCELERATE AT NORMAL RATE OF SPEED AND THE STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AND THE VEHICLE WAS VERY UNSTABLE FEELING LIKE NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND ITS KINDA SCARY. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2014, I WAS INVOLVED IN A MVA. A LADY FAILED TO YIELD AT THE STOP SIGN AND I T-BONED HER AS I PROCEEDING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THE IMPACT TOTAL MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY BUT NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO SERIOUS INJURIES FROM THE ACCIDENT BUT THIS HAS MADE ME HESITANT ABOUT PURCHASING ANY CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP VEHICLES. I WAS TOLD BY MY ATTORNEY THAT SINCE THERE WEREN'T ANY MAJOR CATASTROPHE'S AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE AIRBAGS WOULD COST TO MUCH MONEY FOR THE FIRM. I WANT PEOPLE TO SEE HOW INVALUABLE THEIR LIVES ARE WHEN WE SPEND OUR MONEY ON MANUFACTURERS PRODUCTS. A PERSON HAS TO LOOSE A LIMB OR DIE IN ORDER FOR AN ATTORNEY TO DO WHAT THEY ARE GETTING PAID FOR. *TR

830AM 6/2014 I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR STARTING IT UP PUT MY GEAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND I HEARD A CRAPING SOUND COMING FROM MY CAR I PUT THE CAR IN PARK GOT OUT LOOKED UNDER MY CAR AND THE WHOLE BOTTOM OF MY CAR FALL IT NEVER HAD A ACCIDENT IN THE CAR SO DID NOT NO HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. ALSO THE DOOR HANDLES ARE VERY POOR THEY STATED JUST BRACKEN OFF. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY REPLACING PARTS TO A CAR THAT COST SO MUCH MONEY. I HAVE A FAMILY I AM ALSO A FOSTER MOTHER AND I NEEDED SOMETHING WITH LOTS OF ROOM BUT I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE CHRYSLER 300 WAS BUILT WITH CHEAP MATERIALS.

WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH WITH THE AC ON THE CAR SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO STOP AND RE-START THE CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. WITH NO POWER STEERING THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR STARTED AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND I MADE IT HOME. *TR

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

THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE PULLED OVER AND THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER INDEPENDENTLY.

MY CAR WOULDN'T START BY PUSHING START BUTTON. I CALLED A LOCAL (LAREDO) CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE KEY JUST NEEDED TO BE PROGRAMMED, SINCE MESSAGE SHOWED KEY DAMAGED. I TOOK THE BUTTON OFF AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR WITH KEY. AFTER, $160.00 THEY RETURNED THE CAR TO ME WITHOUT REPLACING THE START BUTTON BACK ON-- WHICH WAS IN CUP HOLDER. I REPLACED THE START BUTTON AND TO MY DISAPPOINTED, CAR STILL DIDN'T START. OK, 1ST ?, YOU'D THINK THEY WOULD HAVE TESTED THE VEHICLE, SINCE THAT WAS THE INITIAL COMPLAINT. MESSAGE STILL SHOWS --KEY DAMAGED! SERVICE MGR. CLAIMS THAT I AM ALREADY GETTING OFF EASY BECAUSE HE DIDN'T CHARGE ME LABOR, REALLY WHAT LABOR--IT DOESN'T START. NOW, HE CLAIMS IT'S NOT THE KEY ...IT'S SOMETHING ELSE AND THERE IS NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE KNOWN --NOW I NEED TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $187, PLUS 1/2 FOR LABOR--HE'S CUTTING ME A DEAL ON THE LABOR FEES. NEEDLESS TO SAY I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HIS SUPERVISOR AND HE IS IT, WOULDN'T ALLOW ME NOR WOULD TELL ME HIS SUPERVISOR WAS. HE SAID HE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE DECISIONS AND IT'S FINAL. SO, I'M OUT $160, STILL DIDN'T GET MY CAR FIXED. UPON RESEARCHING I SAW SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE (WIN) SYSTEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. IS IT A RECALL AND IS THE DEALERSHIP REQUIRED TO FIX IT? ALSO, HOW CAN WE AS CONSUMERS BE BETTER EDUCATED PER SAY TO BE AWARE OF WHAT THESE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE REPAIRING/REPLACING BASED ON RECALLS. I CAN BET THEY ARE NOT VOLUNTEERING RECALL INFORMATION AT THE DEALERSHIP. AND HOW CAN WE BE CERTAIN THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING THE JOB AND NOT JUST SENDING THE CAR TO SERVICE AND NOT REALLY REPAIRING WHAT THE RECALL IS ADVISING TO FIX. *TR

ONE MORNING MY HUSBAND WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK AROUND 6 AM WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATOR. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY SO WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED IT (CARMAX). UPON FURTHER REVIEW WE WERE TOLD THE ENGINE BLEW DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD UP AND THEY NEEDED OUR MAINTENANCE RECEIPTS. EVEN AFTER PROVIDED THE DOCUMENTS FOR THE LAST YEAR THEY STILL REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE CHRYSLER DOESN'T COVER SLUDGE BUILD UP. WE WERE ADVISED TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM BY A SHOP THAT SELLS THESE 2.7 LITER ENGINES BECAUSE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THESE ENGINES NATION WIDE. CHRYSLER SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO ISSUE A RECALL.UNFORTUNATELY THEY'LL RECOGNIZE THIS DEFECT WHEN THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC PILE UP ON THE ROAD AND PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES.

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

I WAS BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PROCEEDED DOWN THE STREET WHEN THE ABS AND ESC LIGHT BOTH CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. I SAW ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS SAME DEFECT WAS IN 2011 AND 2012 CARS AND THEY WERE BEING REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THIS WOULD NOT COVER MY CAR EVEN THOUGH THE RISK IS THE SAME. *TR
