ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ALTERNATOR FAILS CAUSING ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 5.7L OR 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160, 180 OR 220 AMP ALTERNATOR, THE ALTERNATOR OF THE VEHICLE MAY FAIL, RESULTING IN THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. A FAILED ALTERNATOR WOULD ALSO LEAD TO A DEAD BATTERY, PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM HAVING ELECTRICAL POWER TO START. THE ALTERNATOR IN AFFECTED VEHICLES ALSO COULD POSSIBLY SHORT CIRCUIT, CAUSING AN ENGINE FIRE. THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION. I WAS LEAVING THE COMPANY PARKING DECK. I RECEIVED TWO BATTERY JUMPS THE CAR TURNED ON AND ONCE THE JUMPING CABLES WAS REMOVED AND THE GEAR SWITCHED TO THE POSITION OF DRIVE THE CAR TURNED OFF. I ALSO PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY THIS YEAR AS IT HAPPENED BEFORE EARLIER THIS YEAR

ENGINE
ON 1/12/2017 I TOOK MY CHRYSLER 300 TO MOORE CHRYSLER BECAUSE OF A GROWLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS SO THEY KEPT IT TWO DAYS CALLED SAID IT WAS DONE PAYED 1517.99 DOLLARS DROVE IT HOME, PULLED IN THE GARAGE HEARD THE SAME SOUND AS WHEN I TOOK IN THE FIRST TIME CALLED THEM TOLD ME BRING IT BACK FOR ANOTHER 1400.00 DOLLARS WE'LL LOOK AT IT NO WAY TOOK TO A MAN WHO BUILDS ENGINES FOR A LIVING HE TOOK THE OIL CAP OFF PUT HIS EAR DOWN TO THE ENGINE AND SAID YOUR TIMING CHAIN GUIDES ARE GONE THERE RUBBING METAL TO METAL AND IF YOU DON'T GET IT FIXED YOU WILL BLOW AN ENGINE. HE SAID THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 70MPH AND THE ENGINE BLOWS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SO I MAY KILL OR HURT MYSELF OR THOSE WITH ME OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT KILLING OR HURTING SOMEONE ELSE. CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SINCE 2014 OR EARLIER BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON THE 2.7 ENGINES HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE OR BE HURT BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED? IT COST ME AN OTHER 1100.00 DOLLAR TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED BUT I KNOW IT'S DONE RIGHT. I FEEL NOW I CAN TAKE FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN MY CAR AND FEEL SAFE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL CHRYSLER CORP. TO GET OFF SOME OF THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY GET FROM CUSTOMER WHO BUY THEIR CARS AND FIX WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED 1517.99 DOLLARS TO CHRYSLER WALK AROUND MONEY BUT TO A VIETNAM VETERAN ON A FIXED INCOME IT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

CHRYSLER RECALL - I RECEIVED NOTICE IN JULY 2016 OF THIS ISSUE BUT WHEN I CHECK ON THE STATUS THE RESPONSE IS "INCOMPLETE BUT REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE." WHEN I GOT THIS RESPONSE LAST MONTH, I SENT YOU THIS SAME COMPLAINT AND ASKED WHY CHRYSLER IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO PRODUCE NEW CARS, WHICH, I ASSUME HAVE THE PROPER AND APPROVED AIRBAGS BEFORE THEY HAVE FIXED THIS PROBLEM. I DID NOT EVER RECEIVE A RESPONSE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN BEFORE MERGING ONTO BUSY TRAFFIC ON A MAIN ROAD WHEN MY CAR CUT OFF. I TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN BUT IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. AFTER TOW ATTEMPTS I STOPPED TRYING TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND SIGNALED FOR THE CARS BEHIND TO TRY TO GO AROUND (AS THIS WAS NOT EASY AS I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC). NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON, OR CAME ON PREVIOUSLY, I MAINTAINED ADEQUATE 3000 MI OIL CHANGES, AND MAINTENANCE. MEANWHILE A POLICE OFFICER HELPED ME PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND MOVED ME OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AND STAYED NEAR WHILE I WAITED ON THE TOW TRUCK. I AM GRATEFUL THAT MY CAR DID NOT STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS TRANSPORTING MY CHILD. THE THOUGHT OF MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLING IS FRUSTRATING AND SCARY! WITH THE MILEAGE OF MY CAR, THE ENGINE SHOULD BE THE LEAST OF MY WORRIES.
