FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I JUST PURCHASED MY CAR IN LATE APRIL IT IS NOW NOVEMBER. I DIDN'T NOTICE THE BRAKE PROBLEM WHICH IS A VIBRATION WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, UNTIL A WEEK AFTER. I FIGURED I PROBABLY NEED NEW BRAKE PADS. ONE OF MY LEAST CONCERNS. BUT LAST MONTH I BEGAN TO SMELL GAS. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME OR THE LOCATION I WAS AT. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THERE'S WAS NO LEAK. I KEPT DOING THIS WHEN I SMELLED GAS AND NOTHING. LAST NIGHT NOVEMBER 6 2011, I FILLED UP MY TANK TO GO OUT OF TOWN. WHEN I WAS LEAVING TO GO BACK HOME FROM THE LONG RIDE, THE PARKING AREA SMELLED LIKE GAS! IT WAS LEAKING FROM MY CAR! ABOUT A QUARTER OF GAS LEAKED. THIS TIME I SAW A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND WHERE THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WOULD BE. NOT ONLY WAS THIS EMBARRASSING BUT I HAD MY WIFE AND CHILD WITH ME IN THE CAR THAT I HAD TO TAKE HOME SMELLING THIS AS WELL AS TAKING THE RISK OF BLOWING UP! WE DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER WAY OF GETTING HOME, THAT'S WHY I HAD NO CHOICE AND TOOK THE RISK. THANK GOD WE GOT HOME SAFE. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER 300, WENT OUT THIS AM TO GO TO WORK AND THE GEAR SHIFT IS STUCK IN PARK. HAD TO GET A RIDE INTO WORK. GOT ON LINE AND FOUND PAGES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MULTIPLE CARS FROM CHRYSLER. SAW THE K39 NOTIFICATION FORM CALLED CHRYSLER, MY VIN IS NOT LISTED, THEY CAN'T HELP ME OUT. PER OTHER PEOPLE WILL COST $300-600.00 TO FIX OUT OF MY POCKET. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ON ANY VEHICLE IT AFFECTS. CALLED THE PARTS DEPT. AT CHRYSLER THE PART IS 85 CENTS. BUT THE DEALER WILL CHARGE YOU AN ARM AND A LEG FOR THE LABOR TO DO IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I'M DISGUSTED WITH CHRYSLER RIGHT NOW. THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING, THEIR CUSTOMER VALUE HAS GONE OUT THE WINDOW.I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANY MORE CARS FROM THEM IN THE FUTURE. *TR
