WHILE ON HIGHWAY, MY RADIO TURNED OFF AND VEHICLE WENT INTO BATTERY SAVING MODE. AS I PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY, THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND THE CAR BARELY MADE IT THERE. THE CAR SMELLED LIKE IF SOMETHING WAS BURNING UNDER THE HOOD. ONE OF THE ATTENDANTS CHECKED MY BATTERY AND SAID THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED, I HAD THEM RECHARGE IT. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED SINCE THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE. I PICKED UP THE BATTERY THIS MORNING AND TURNED THE CAR ON, AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO FLICKER SO I JUST TURNED OF THE CAR. I READ IN TO THE VEHICLES RECALLS AND I NOTICED THAT RECALL #P6O IS EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR WAS DOING LAST NIGHT. I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT DUE TO MY CAR NOT BEING AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL BUT IT OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO TO MAKE MY CAR PART OF THIS RECALL? IF SO WHAT STEPS CAN I TAKE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND OR MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS SINCE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS ISSUE STARTED, IF NOT FOR MY QUICK THINKING THE CAR COULD OF STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT WHILE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN TO FAIL IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME. I AM AFRAID IF WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT THE AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY.

THOSE OF US WITH A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR DID NOT QUALIFY. THOSE OF US WITH THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR DID NOT QUALIFY. THE SAME PROBLEM THAT EXISTED WITH THE 160 AMP, ALSO EXIST WITH THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR.

I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY IN MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 WHEN I RECEIVED THE MANUFACTURER RECALL NOTICE. I PURCHASED THE PARTS MYSELF AND HAD THE DEALER INSTALL THEM AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER. PLEASE NOTE HERE THAT THIS IS A BASE MODEL. THAT ALTERNATOR RECENTLY FAILED AS WELL AFTER JUST OVER A YEAR. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF FOR A FEW DAYS. IT CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON THIS TIME. HAD IT TESTED AND WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR WAS AGAIN FAILING. THIS ALTERNATOR COST 485.00, LUCKILY WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY. PERHAPS IT IS NOT JUST THE TYPE OF ALTERNATORS CHRYSLER USED, BUT A MORE COMPLEX PROBLEM TO BE INVESTIGATED HERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER RESET THE AIR BAG WARNING SYSTEM, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND STAYING ON FOR LONG LENGTHS OF TIME. RECALL NUMBER NO7 WAS ISSUED FOR THIS VERY THING BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO REPAIR OURS AS IT IS 2 MONTHS SHORT OF MANAUFACTOR DATE. THE RECALL BEGAN IN APRIL OF 2013 AND I CONTEND THE SAME PARTS THAT INITIATED THIS RECALL ARE THE SAME PARTS USED IN OUR VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME WHEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS COME IN THEY MAY EXTEND THE DATES OF MANUFACTOR FOR THE RECALL,

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, AS THE CAR HEATS UP, THE ABS FUSE SEEMS TO LOSE CONTACT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ABS/ESP (STABILITY CONTROL), FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE DISABLE. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING. IF USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ACCELERATION AND SPEED MAINTENANCE WILL STOP, AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT (THOUGH IT HAS NOT YET). A SIMILAR CHRYSLER CASE HAS BEEN OPENED AND LINKED TO THE POLICE VARIANT OF A CAR ON THE SAME PLATFORM WITH SAME ENGINE. POLICE CARS USE DODGE CHARGERS WITH HEMI V8, WHICH IS THE SAME PLATFORM AS THE CHRYSLER 300 WITH A HEMI V8, WITH MOSTLY COSMETIC ISSUES. THE FUSE IS NOT BLOWN, AND UPON THE CAR COOLING DOWN, THE SYSTEM IS RESTORED, HOWEVER, ON JOURNEYS IN WHICH THE ENGINE HEAT RISES, THE SYSTEM GOES OFFLINE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS MAY BE A COMMON ISSUE IN THIS PLATFORM, HOWEVER, THE TSB ONLY WENT TO THE POLICE CAR VARIANT OF ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CAR. WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING, IF THE DRIVER HAS THE BRAKES APPLIED, A BANG/GRIND/SCRAPE SOUND (SUCH AS WHAT IS HEARD WHEN THE ABS ACTUALLY ENGAGES) CAN BE HEARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WERE BRAKING ISSUES DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE ROTORS. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED EVERY 20,000 MILES.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET WHEN SUDDENLY IT STARTED TO ACT STRANGE. THE VEHICLE STABILITY WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AND I BEGAN TO QUICKLY LOSE POWER AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. A BURNING SMELL WAS DETECTED AND THE POWERTRAIN BEGAN TO MAKE UNUSUAL NOISES. OTHER WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN POPPING RANDOMLY AND THE WIPERS STARTED ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING HAD BURNED UP UNDER THE HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE SERVICE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT LATER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THE ALTERNATOR HAD BURNED UP. THE ALTERNATOR ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY BATTERY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO REPAIR BOTH. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO INDICATED THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS AWARE CHRYSLER HAD RECALLED ALMOST 1/2 MILLION VEHICLE FOR THE SAME EXACT ALTERNATOR PROBLEM (RECALL P60). I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INDICATED NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE P60 RECALL LIST. THEY PROVIDED ME A CASE NUMBER FOR THE INITIAL ROADSIDE SERVICE/TOW (#28743527) AND INDICATED NO OTHER CASE NUMBER WOULD BE GENERATED. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON CHRYSLER'S RECALL LIST, THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED BY MY VEHICLE WAS IDENTICAL TO THE ALTERNATOR/ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED IN OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME MODEL/ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70 MILES PER/HOUR MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 DASH WARNING LIGHT LIT UP FOLLOWED BY DASH GOING WHITE. WE THEN LOST ALL POWER IN VEHICLE. NO POWER STEERING NO LIGHTS INSIDE VEHICLE OR OUTSIDE. WE WERE TRAVELING AT NIGHT SO PULLED OFF WITH SOME GREAT EFFORT. I AM GLAD I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE. YOU COULD SMELL THE ELECTRICAL FIRE IN VEHICLE. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. PAID ALMOST 700 DOLLARS FOR NEW ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL (P60) WHICH LIST MY VEHICLE BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP AS PART OF THE RECALL. MY BROTHER HAS A DODGE AND HAD SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY. HIS VEHICLE WAS LISTED AS PART OF N60 RECALL AND WAS REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE.
