AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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. I THINK THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE AIR BAG WAS NEVER DEPLOYED ON PASS SIDE. FAR RIGHT FRONT AND UNDERCARRIAGE ON LNCIDENT REPORT ONLY. ALSO CONTROL MODULES FOR CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN IT OFF SHORT CIRCUIT IN VEHICLE WIRING . 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.

I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AT THE TIME I PLACED IT IN PARK A READING CAME ON THE DASH THAT SAID 'SERVICE TRANS PRESS BRAKE WHEN STOPPED KEY OFF ENGINE TO ENGAGE PARK'. FROM WHAT I COULD SEE THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY IN PARK. AS I TRIED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE IT WOULD GO DIRECTLY BACK INTO PARK AS SOON AS I GOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL.

ENGINE
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.

POWER TRAIN
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!

WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I SMELLED GAS IN THE CABIN THEN LATER AFTER FILLING THE TANK, I HAD GAS RUNNING OUT UNDER THE CAR. INVESTIGATION REVEALED MELTED PLASTIC AROUND THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR PINS ALLOWED GAS TO LEAK ON TOP OF THE TANK THEN RUN DOWN OUT OF THE TANK. I CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN 5 MONTHS LATER. THE FUEL PUMP SITS LOWER THAN THE FUEL PUMP SO WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, ABOUT 3 GALLONS OF GAS WILL LEAK OUT. I FIGURED OUT THE CAUSE WAS FROM HEAVY OBJECTS, IN MY CASE, PEOPLE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT BUT CHILD SEATS OR POSSIBLY GROCERIES COULD EXERT PRESSURE ON THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR CAUSING THE PINS TO HEAT UP AND MELT THE PLASTIC. I INSTALLED AN UPGRADED FUEL PUMP COVER MADE OUT OF ALUMINUM AVAILABLE AT WWW.FUELCONNECTORFIRE.COM AND AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR HAVE NOT HAD ANY MORE ISSUES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE FUEL LEAK WAS COMING FROM AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CULLMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (300 BENCHMARK WAY, CULLMAN, AL 35057, (256) 615-2563). THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS AN OVERFLOW FILTER THAT RAN WITH THE FUEL LINES CALLED THE FUEL CANISTER. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS THE CONTACT'S FAULT FOR OVERFILLING THE FUEL TANK, WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. ON OCTOBER 1, 2019, THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK AND THE VEHICLE STALLED, SPUTTERED, AND RETURNED TO NORMAL. WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME, HE SMELLED FUEL AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE QUARTER PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE LEAK WAS NOTICED CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE DEALER CALLED BACK AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HE OVERFILLED THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SIDED WITH THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD DO FURTHER INVESTIGATING. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO GET A SECOND OPINION AT ANOTHER DEALER. THE CONTACT INFORMED BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER THAT HE SAW NO OVERFLOW OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

POWER TRAIN
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.
