As I was driving my car felt like if it went on neutral. I almost crashed. Stopped. Then it would not come off of park. I kept putting it on drive and it automatically kept going into park mode. The car was still running though. And turns on. It still wont drive. Turns on but doesn't go onto drive mode.
Valve , computer in transmission stoped working , no communication.
When the weather is very cold or it is raining or snowing my sunroof leaks into my car. The windshield fogs up and I am not able to drive the vehicle and the rear seat and floor is usually wet.
The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 300. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle briefly vibrated before returning to normal functionality however, the failure became a regular failure. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: 09-002-14. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 96,000.
I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 9 YEARS, AND TAKEN IT IN FOR NUMEROUS OIL CHANGES AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTIONS. ONE ITEM THAT IS INCLUDED TO BE SERVICED IS TO CHECK AND TOP OFF (IF NEEDED) THE POWER STEERING FLUID. DUE TO WHERE THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND PUMP IS LOCATED, THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND FENDERWELL COVER MUST BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE TWO PARTS. THIS IS QUITE A BIT OF LABOR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTION, YET THE SERVICE REP ASSURES ME THAT THE STEERING FLUID HAS BEEN CHECKED, EVEN THOUGH THE NOISE AND STIFF STEERING IS STILL PRESENT. MY CONCERN IS THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT CHECKING THE POWER STEERING FLUID DUE TO A FAULTY LOCATION DESIGN AND THE LABOR REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE PARTS THAT NEED SERVICING FOR ROUTINE MAINTAINANCE; THE ALTERNATIVE FOR THEM IS A PROFITABLE STEERING PUMP REPLACEMENT. FROM MY OBSERVATION, THE FENDERWELL COVER HAS NEVER LOOKED AS THOUGH IT WAS REMOVED TO CHECK THE STEERING FLUID.
The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that after restarting the vehicle, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the power steering pump needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced the power steering pump; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a power steering module malfunction and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000.
I recently purchased this vehicle used with roughly 50,000k miles and drove it for three weeks with no issue. Suddenly, one morning, the motor would not start when pushing the Start Button. Instead the Start button became locked in the Run position but the engine did not engage. I removed my foot from the brake, pushed Start again and it would not return to the Off position. I opened the door thinking maybe it would reset this problem..... the entire dash Icons, headlights, Nav screen, tachometer, and speedometer start flashing and the windshield wipers are going, while stuck in in the off position. A very low pulsating sound is emanating from the engine compartment. I ran to the trunk to disconnect the battery, with the key fob in my pocket, but the button on lid does not open the lid. I run back to the dash and push the trunk release but received no result. I pulled the rear seats down crawled into the trunk and pulled the emergency trunk release and was finally able to open it. Instead of disconnecting the battery, I attempted to jump it with another vehicle. The vehicle was still in the Run position and all of the other components were continuing to malfunction as stated above. The vehicle "started" and began emmiting exhaust but I still had no response in the gas peddle. I then attempted to turn the vehicle to the off position, which worked only after jumping the vehicle and emitting the exhaust. Once the vehicle was shut off I attempted to restart the vehicle as usually and it worked no problem. It has started and ran fine for 2 days but I am extremely concerned about my safety in driving this vehicle due to reading other consumer experiences with a malfunctioning TIPM in this model and year of vehicle.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY. There is a backorder(700) from the factory on this product and the wait is at least 3 months! This problem has been confirmed by the dealership as well as the backorder. The vehicle will not go in gear even with the engine running. The message displays as vehicle is already in desired gear even when it is not, and you cannot put it unto any gear even neutral, as it gets stuck in park!. The code is PO658, and the CHECK ENGINE light is illuminated and can happen without warning while vehicle is parked, stopped or idling so far as I experienced. The ignition will not turn off and the battery must be disconnected in order not to drain the battery. If this were to happen in traffic or or an intersection we all could have been KILLED. It has happened 4 times to us, Two times it started working on its own and Two times requiring a tow which cost me $600. Once at the dealer they charge a $140 non-refundable diagnosis fee and then can't fix the problem because they don't have the parts and can't get them. I think allowing Vehicles to have electronic shifting transmissions instead of manual shifters is a HUGE safety risk! The car only has 70K Highway miles on it and even if it was under warranty we can't get the darn parts. The dealer has to install it because it has to be programmed. The transmission is manufactured by ZF in Germany and they make others for several other car manufacturers. Chrysler uses this transmission across their entire fleet so this failure defect could show up in any of their product line
My backup camera works when it wants to mostly not at all. It just flickers when I put the car in reverse. I really need it because of the blind spots. Also since the fuel issue was recalled and fixed my car smells like it's not burning the gas properly. In other words I can smell fumes.

The front passenger door panel has separated at the top leaving an open gap between the window and the door. It appears that the rubber molding was not manufactured properly and as heat from the sun warms up the molding, it deforms, pulls up and separates. The problem has continued to worsen over time and is approaching the door locking mechanism. It is also now possible for water to get to the inside of the door. This is a NON-MOVING PART that was defective at the time of manufacture, but took time to malfunction.
I have a 2014 Chrysler 300 S the Oil Filter Housing Is Leaking on and around wiring that could cause the warm or hot oil to leak on wires and cause an electrical engine fire the Manufacturer was contacted and they stated that my Vin Number was not included with the recall that was already issued and because my Vin was not included Manufacturer refused to repair the issue

The car will consistently slip from park to reverse when you try to exit the car. You have to push the shifter into park twice for it to remain in park. Very dangerous, as it WILL be in reverse if you are not careful exiting the car.

On or about February 17, 2022, the referenced 300C was taken to Elk Grove Chrysler due to a malfunction with the electronic shift. The car jumped into Park while in motion which was a Safety risk to others as well as myself. After consulting with service team, I was informed that the car had to undergo a diagnostic. A day later I was informed that there was a fault with the electronic shift which required repaired; however, parts were not in stock at this location. I was informed parts had to be ordered and would take approximately 2-3 weeks due to logistical issues. On Monday, February 28, 2022, technician reported that a part was received for the upper mechanism; however, it was determined that the lower mechanism needed repair. With this being said, these are the concerns I would like to address due to disagreement with the process. 1. This electronic shift was previously repaired in May 2014, due to recall. This issue could have resulted in a major safety issue. 2. Why is a Consumer paying for a "Repair to a Repair?" 3. As a Consumer with a low mileage vehicle under 59,000, why must I be responsible to pay Chrysler for a repair that is a "Safety Issue" and a factory recall issue. Obviously, this is a manufacture concern created by Chrysler. This was due to no fault of the consumer. In closing, as a Disabled widowed Senior Citizen having the car jump into parking during my travels affected my anxiety; causing a panic attack. This repair issue is affecting my health and livelihood. I have been without a vehicle and a means to take care of quality of life tasks. Thank you for your time and attention to my concern.
I have been having trouble with my cruise control lately. If I start my car remotely and then drive my cruise control won't turn on unless I hold down all 4 buttons on my steering wheel. When this happens I also end up having difficulties disengaging it and there will be a 1-2 mph difference from what the cruise speed is set as to what speed the vehicle is actually traveling. I noticed there was a safety recall in regards to this issue that was issued on 05/17/2018 but my Vin didn't register for that recall so I'm wondering if my car was missed or if there are more vehicles like mine having this same issue that wasn't taken care of in the last recall issued.
Normally when u turn on the car it says press the brake pedal to start engine in the message, but in my situation it says press clutch pedal to start engine but the problem is that my car is an automatic my car doesn't have clutch what can I do?
From a red light, I proceeded through intersection once light turned green. My engine stalled & coasted to outside highway lane with no warning lights ot any other sign of a problem. I parked on the shoulder and the car did not re-start. Twenty minutes later, It re-started with no further problems.

My car has been at the first dealership (Brewbaker Dodge, Montgomery, Ala.) on November 11, 2020. I got the car back March of 2021. The problem of misfires on cylinder 1 side, hesitation when proceeding from a red light, and stalling out. The problem continued so; I took it to another dealership (Stiver Dodge, Prattville, Ala.) in August 2021. I was given the car back in February 2022 stating to me that the problem may correct itself after being driven until after my birthday (March 2022). So, to this date my car is still at the Dealership and Chrysler Star Team has no clue what is wrong with this car. I'm still paying a car note, insurance, and renewing the license plate for this car every year and moth. Chrysler knows that there is an issue with the 3.6L Pentastar engine. No one wants to help me in this situation, but all parties involved wants my money but no real solution(s). I need someone that's going to advocate for me on my behalf. I just want Chrysler at this point to just put a new engine in the dang car and cover the charges at their expense for their defective engine. Chrysler seriously knows what's going. As long as my car has been at this Dealership For over a year, how could the engineers who designed this engine not know what's wrong with? This car has very low miles to be 8yrs old with major issue. And FCA doesn't want to admit to this engine (3.6L Pentastar) being a defective engine. Look at the class action lawsuits pertaining to this. Please Sir / Ma'am help me make sense of this. Thank you.

THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS CAR BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS BE CAUSE IT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT IS A REBUILT SALVAGE AND THE REGISTRATION IS IN CT.

IF A REBUILT SALVAGE CAN BE SOLD TO ME BY A DEALER THAT IS UNSAFE WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER STAND BEHIND THERE RECALLS. OH THE CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AN I LOVE IT. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 73 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL, THE BRAKES ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT FORWARD AT ABOUT 20MPH ON A BRIDGE WHERE THE ROAD WAS CLEAR WITH NO ICE OR SNOW AND MY CAR DID A 360 SPIN OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THAT DAY I TOOK MY CAR INTO DISCOUNT TIRES WHERE I WAS TOLD I HAD 5/32 THREAD WHICH IS FAIRLY GOOD I STILL WENT AHEAD AND GOT NEW TIRES BUT STILL FELT LIKE MY TIRES WAS NOT MOVING LIKE IT SHOULD. I THEN TOOK IT INTO A MECHANIC SHOP WHICH WAS MONTES CAR SHOP IN NORTH MPLS WE DID A TEST DRIVE AND REALIZED MY FRONT WHEELS WERE NOT ENGAGING THE ONLY TIRES THAT WERE SPINNING WAS THE BACK WHEELS. SO AT THAT POINT THEY RAN A ABS DIAGNOSTIC THERE WERE CODES NO SHOWING REGARDING MY AWD AT ALL, SO THEY DID A FULL INSPECTION AND STATED IT WAS A BLOWN MINI FUSE THAT OPERATES THE FRONT DIFF ACTUATOR AND REPLACED IT. I'VE DRIVEN THE CAR AND I AM NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED NOT ONLY THAT THE CAR IS NOT GIVING OFF ANY SENSORS OR CODES REGARDING MY AWD NOT WORKING WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING THERE SHOULD BE SOME WAY FOR THE CAR TO HAVE SENSORS NOTIFYING ME THE MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE IS NOT WORKING OR ENGAGING.
I HAVE A 2014 CHRYSLER 300 BASE, WITH AWD. I HAVE 73,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE SERVICE KEPT UP. SO, I WAS HAVE A ROUGH NOISE AS I WOULD GO OVER 50 MPH AND IT WOULD BE LIKE A GROWLING NOISE. IT SOUNDED LIKE A FRONT WHEEL BEARING. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEARING. THE WARRANTY HAD ENDED AT 70,000 MILES FOR THE DRIVETRAIN AND SO I PUT IT ON MYSELF. I PUT A BRAND NEW HUB ON AND STILL HAD THE NOISE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO ANOTHER GARAGE AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE REAR DRIVE LINE. THEY REPLACED IT AND STILL MAKING THE NOISE. SO, THEY THEN SAID IT WAS THE FRONT DRIVE LINE. I HAD THEM DO IT AND FINALLY. THIS WAS THE FIX. I LOOKED ONLINE AND WATCHED VIDEOS AND WAS NEVER ANYTHING SAYING A DRIVE LINE. I JUST FEEL THAT IT'S SO UNFORTUNATE THAT AT 3,000 MILES OVER AND I'M STUCK PAYING OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS, TO REPLACE A PART OF THE DRIVETRAIN. WHAT I WORRY ABOUT, IS THAT BOTH AXLES WERE ACTUALLY NO GOOD. IT'S JUST THE ONE WAS MAKING THE NOISE. WHAT IF I KEPT DRIVING AND ONE LOCKED UP. THAT'S SCARY AND COULD BECOME LIFE THREATENING. I TRULY HOPE YOU CAN REVIEW MY MESSAGE AND FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED AND IS A POSSIBLE RECALL. I WOULD HATE FOR THEM TO FREEZE UP ON SOMEONE AND ENDS UP INJURING OR WORSE, FATALLY INJURING SOMEONE OR EVEN AN ENTIRE FAMILY. THANK YOU!
DRIVER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH BACKUP CAMERA SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2016. ORIGINALLY, THE CAMERA WOULD JUST GO IN AND OUT. A BLACK SCREEN WOULD SHOW UP ON THE MONITOR ONCE THE CAR WAS PUT INTO REVERSE. THIS WAS MENTIONED TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE CAMERA WOULD NEVER ACT UP WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DRIVER WAS ALSO TOLD THAT AN UPDATE WOULD EVENTUALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM, WHICH IT DID NOT. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO REVERSE NOW, THE PICTURE ON THE MONITOR FROM THE BACK UP CAMERA IS ACTUALLY FLIPPED ON THE MONITOR. SO WHAT IS ACTUALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR, SHOWS UP ON THE LEFT SIDE. RECENTLY WHEN GETTING RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE TAKEN CARE OF, THE DRIVER FOUND OUT THAT THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED IN 2015. THIS WAS PRIOR TO THE CAR BEING PURCHASED IN 2016. THESE PROBLEMS WERE BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP, TELEGRAPH CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN TAYLOR, MI. THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, NOW IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE PERCEPTION IN THE BACK UP CAMERA COULD DECEIVE THE DRIVER.
DRIVING THE CAR UNDER NORMAL LOAD,S TARTED TO NOTICE A KNOCK FROM THE ENGINE. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. PULLED PLUGS, CHECKED OIL. GAS, PUT A BOROSCOPE DOWN THE SPARK PLUG HOLES LOOKING FOR ENGINE DAMAGE. FINALLY HAD TO HAVE THE CAR SENT TO THE SHOP. WHEN THEY GOT THE MOTOR TORN DOWN THE BAD LIFTER WAS DISCOVERED. UPON SEEING THAT & DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE QUITE A FEW POSTS ON FORUMS ABOUT THE MDS LIFTERS ON THE 5.7 & 6.4 HEMIS GOING BAD & DESTROYING A CAM. I HAVE HAD OIL ANALYSIS DONE ON MOST OIL CHANGES THROUGH OUT OWNER SHIP BUT THIS WASN'T PICKED UP ON FROM THE LAST ONE. NOT SURE IF IT WENT OUT QUICK & DESTROYED THE CAM OR IF IT HAD BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE. CAR ONLY HAS AROUND 75000 MILES.
8/30 PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND STEPPED OUT. THE CAR GOES ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE STREET WITH MY DAUGHTER IN IT SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER. LUCKILY MY DRIVER DOOR WAS OPEN. IT CAUGHT MY NEIGHBORS CAR AND JARRED MY DOOR BACKWARDS FORCING THE CAR TO VEER TO THE LEFT AVOIDING A STREET WHERE CARS FLY UP AND DOWN FREQUENTLY. (SAVANNAH WAS FEET AWAY FROM EITHER GOING INTO TRAFFIC OR INTO THE BACK OF SOMEONE'S HOUSE. WE ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THAN DAMAGES TO A COUPLE OF VEHICLES). MY CAR DOOR DOESN'T SHUT PROPERLY AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FIND OUT THIS IS THE SAME SHIFTER THAT HAS ALLEGEDLY BEEN TIED TO A FAMOUS MAN'S DEATH AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER ACCIDENTS. VERIFIED WITH FCA MY CAR WAS DEFECTED.
THE DEALER SAID THE PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE
