I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON RECALLS FOR MY MODEL CAR, AND SOME 2012 CHYSLER 300 HUNDREDS WERE RECALLED FOR A SPECIFIC PROBLEM DEALING WITH THE 160 VOLT ALTENATOR. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, CHYSLER IS NOT RECALLING ANY MODELS WITH THE 180 VOLT ALTENATOR. I AM ASSUMING BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL NOTICE ON IT, THAT MY CAR HAS 180 VOLT ALTENATOR ON IT. IF THAT IS THE CASE? I HAVE READ OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 180 VOLT ALTENATOR. I WAS LUCKY THAT I HAD JUST GOTTEN OF THE FREEWAY AND WAS NOT GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. WHAT ACTIONS HAVE THE NHTSA TAKEN TOO PROTECT CONSUMERS FOR THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE? EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS FIXED, IF THE CAN FIX IT I WILL NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TOO BE ADDRESSED BY THE CHRYSLER CORPORARTION AND THE NHTSA.

I GOT A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO I BEEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN LIBERAL KS BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE BUT THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE TELLS ME THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALER (ORLANDO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, 4101 W COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32808, (407) 299-1120) WAS CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER RECALL.

CAME OUT TO MY CAR AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM THE HOOD, OPENED IT UP SMELL WAS COMNG FROM THE ALTENATOR, SMELT LIKE BURNT PLASTIC. MY ELETRICAL WENT OUT NO WAY OF STARTING CAR UP AND HAD TO OPEN MANUALLY WITH CAR KEY TO GET IN.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY RADIO CUT OFF AN TGE MESSAGE WAS BATTERY SAVER MODE SO I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AN SMELL A SOMETHING BURNING PLUS MY WIPERS STARTED TO MOVE ON ITS ON I TRY TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK BUT IT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO DO SO BUT WHEN I GOT IT UNDER CONTROL I LEFT MY HOOD AN THE ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING SO WHEN I DID MY RESEARCH IT WAS A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES SO I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT CAN THIS PROBLEM BE FIX!

I HAD A RECALL PERFORMED AT THE DEALER FOR THE SHIFTER RECALL IN FOR WHICH THEY PERFORMED A REPROGRAM THAT WOULD SUPPOSEDLY KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING IF THE DRIVERS DOOR WAS OPENED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT PUT IN PARK. WELL HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER THE REPROGRAM WHENEVER THE DRIVERS DOOR IS OPENED WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND IN GEAR IT JUMPS INTO PARK WHICH IS BAD FOR THE DRIVELINE. I GUESS THAT'S HOW IT WAS RECONFIGURED. I WAS USE TO THE OLD WAY BECAUSE WHEN I PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY I ALWAYS OPEN THE DOOR TO SEE HOW CLOSE I AM TO THE EDGE OF THE DRIVEWAY. (I HAVE TO DO THIS TO LEAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR MY WIFE TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE GARAGE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR) HAVING OVER 45 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AS A TECHNICIAN AND TECHNICAL TRAINER I CAN SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE DUMBEST THINGS I HAVE SEEN. WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE WAS TO REPROGRAM IT SO THAT IF YOU OPENED THE DOOR WITH YOUR SEATBELT OFF THEN THE CAR SHOULD GO INTO PARK BECAUSE YOU COULD STEP OUT WHILE THE CAR WAS IN GEAR. YOUR NOT GETTING OUT OF THE CAR WITH YOUR SEATBELT ON SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO JUMP INTO PARK THE OTHER THING THAT HAPPENS IS WHEN YOU PLACE THE SHIFTER IN PARK AND PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE CAR SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T GO TO OFF IT GOES TO ACCESSORY AND YOU EITHER HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR THEN TURN IT OFF OR PUSH THE START BUTTON WITH YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO TURN THE IGNITION ON THEN BACK OFF. IT NEVER DID THIS BEFORE THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL. I WISH I NEVER TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALL. IN FACT I PROBABLY WONT TAKE MY CAR IN FOR ANY MORE RECALLS ILL TAKE MY CHANCES JUST THE WAY IT IS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WITH THE RADIO ON, THE RADIO TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING.

THE MANUFACTURER ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

AS LEAVING MY HOME AND GOING NO MORE THAN 15 MPH BECAUSE I WAS STILL IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, I NOTICED THAT "BATTERY SAVER MODE" CAME ON THE DASH. WITHIN SECONDS, I NOTICED THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND AS I WAS RETURNING HOME (WHICH WOULD HAVE TAKEN ABOUT 60 SECONDS), THE CAR COMPLETED STOPPED. I STARTED TO NOTICE A BURNING SMELL, SO I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK BUT IT WOULD NOT GO. I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF, BUT NO SUCCESS. AS I WAS SMELLING THE BURNING SMELL, I DECIDED TO JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR TO GET OUT AND IT WAS AT THAT TIME THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF. I CALLED THE DEALER AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY ADVISED THAT IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH ALTERNATOR AND WOULD CHECK FOR RECALL. THEY CHECKED MY VIN AND ADVISED I WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL, BUT OTHER 2012 CHRYSLER 300S HAD BEEN INCLUDED. AS I RESEARCHED ONLINE, MANY CONSUMERS WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND BEING TOLD THEY WERE NOT IN RECALL. I READ THE SYMPTOMS OF THE PROBLEM AS THE RECALL WAS NOTED AND I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. IN ADDITION, I WAS AFRAID THE CAR WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE BY THE SMELL THAT WAS COMING IN THE CAR. HOPEFULLY, THIS PROBLEM CAN BE ADDRESSED.

Car was stalling and had electrical issues. I paid to get it fixed but never knew there was a recall for my vehicles alternator. The vehicle battery dies fairly quickly from time to time still and every know and then I have to call AAA to jump my car and they say my battery is good. Chrysler's number for this recall is T36.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY CHRYSLER 300 SHUT DOWN NO ELECTRICAL POWER UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK NO WARNING SIGNS AND STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. UNABLE TO USE HAZARD ALIGHTS AS WELL.

HAD ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY REPLACED TODAY 06/30/2017 DUE TO SHORTAGE. NOTED NUMEROUS INTERNET COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FOR CHRYSLER 300. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL THAT INCLUDES 'CERTAIN' 2011 THRU 2014 CHRYSLER 300'S ("P60 / NHTSA 14V-634...FCA HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT, WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY, EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2011 THROUGH 2014 MODEL YEAR DODGE DURANGO, CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHALLENGER, DODGE CHARGER AND 2012 THROUGH 2014 MODEL YEAR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR.") I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THE NHTSA VIN RECALL LOOK-UP TOOL AND MY CAR HAS NO OPEN RECALLS. HOWEVER, I DO NOT FIND IT A COINCIDENCE THAT MY CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM IF OTHER CHRYSLER 300'S ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM ENOUGH TO GENERATE A RECALL. I HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED AT A LOCAL REPAIR COMPANY FOR $962 AND SOME CHANGE. AS THE SAFETY RECALL WARNS AND DENOTES THE POSSIBILITY OF ... "THE DRIVER WILL HAVE LIMITED OR NO DETECTION OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILING, WHICH CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING" ... THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AT AN INTERSECTION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON 06/29/17. I THINK MY VIN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLASHED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE PART AND REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS STILL INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT VISITED A LOCAL DEALER (2639 LAKESIDE DR, LYNCHBURG, VA 24501) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 32635882. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER AT HER EXPENSE. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DRIVING AT NIGHT. NOTICED CAR WAS" WHINING" AND EMITTING BURNT PLASTIC ODOR. LIGHTS DIMMED. INFORMATION (EVIC) SCREEN REPORTED "BATTERY SAVER MODE". CHECKED CAR UPON ARRIVING HOME. BURNT ODOR FROM LOCATION OF ALTERNATOR.

MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE. ABOUT A MILE AWAY I STOPPED AT STOPLIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND DASH LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND OFF, RADIO AND AC COMING ON AND OFF AND THEN CAR DIES AND WILL NOT RESTART. AFTER 5 OR 10 MINUTES GET IT RESTARTED AND WILL BARELY MOVE. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN AUTO PARTS STORE JUST AROUND THE CORNER. WHEN I PULL IN THE PARKING LOT, CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE, WILL NOT SHUT OFF, WIND SHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND WON'T GO OFF, GAUGES ALL GOING CRAZY AND HAVE TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE SO MY CAR WON'T RUN THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE STORE WHILE I GO INTO STORE TO GET HELP. THE GUY HOOKS UP TO DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE AND IT GIVES A READ ERROR. (HOOKS UP TO ANOTHER CAR AND NO ERROR). FINALLY GET CAR TO SHUT OFF AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES. HE TESTS BATTERY AND COMES BACK LOW. NEW $200 BATTERY AND STARTS UP FINE, EVERYTHING WORKING AGAIN. PULL OUT OF PARKING LOT AND START SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING, SMOKE COMING THROUGH VENTS, WEIRD SOUND. PULL OVER AND SAME THINGS HAPPEN - GAUGES GOING CRAZY, WIPERS ON, WON'T SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE, WON'T TURN OFF. GET OUT OF CAR AND TAKE KEY OUT WITH ME AND WIPERS COME ON. HAVE TO TAKE OUT FUSE TO GET THEM TO GO OFF. LIGHTS COME ON. HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY TO GET THEM OFF - ALL OF THIS WHEN THE KEY IS NOT EVEN IN THE CAR! $60 TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO SHOP AND $600 TO HAVE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. WHY IS THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR NOT PART OF THE P60 RECALL WHEN IT IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR THAT WAS RECALLED??? I KEEP SEEING OTHERS SAYING THEY KEEP HAVING THE ALTERNATOR GO OUT AGAIN EVEN AFTER THEY REPLACE IT. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS AND NEVER AND PROBLEMS WITH IT OTHER THAN GENERAL MAINTENANCE STUFF. I DON'T NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANY LONGER.
