FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300 HAS LOUD CLUNKING, THUDDING NOISE WHEN TRAVELLING OVER ROUGH ROADS OR GOING OVER A SMALL BUMP. THE NOISE SOUNDS AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE ASSESSED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE SHOCKS, STRUTS, TIE RODS AND BRUSHELS TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS GIVEN A ESTIMATION OF $3000.00 DOLLARS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MUFFLER EXHAUST PIPE HAD RUSTED AND COME APART THUS CALLING THE CAR TO SOUND AS LOUD AS AN 18 WHEELER. I WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND THE DODGE CHARGER . THE REPAIR COST ON THIS WAS ESTIMATED TO BE 800.00 - 1100.00 DOLLARS ALONE. PLEAS INVESTIGATE THESE COMPLAINTS BECAUSE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE ACTIONS.DURING THE COURSE OF MY OWN INVESTIGATION I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS GO BACK AS FAR BACK AS THE 2005 MODEL CHRYSLER 300.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL MONTHS AGO AND IT STILL ISN'T FIXED. IT STATES IN THE RECALL LETTER IT SHOULD TAKE ABOUT TWO HOURS TO COMPLETE. IT'S EVEN BEEN TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO BE FIXED. I'VE BEEN GIVEN LOANER CARS THAT DO NOT MEET THE STANDARDS OF MY CURRENT VEHICLE BY MODEL OR BY DEPENDABILITY. I WISH TO CLEAR UP THIS MATTER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE NOW. I HAVE A FAMILY AND OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES TO TEND TO. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY STRESSFUL, TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE AND I NEED ASSISTANCE IN CLEARING THIS MATTER UP ONCE AND FOR ALL PLEASE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER 300 YEAR 2014 USED FROM CHRYSLER DEALER IN MESA AZ. ON 4/22/2015. THE CAR WAS WHAT WE WANTED AND WE ALSO PURCHASED THE MOPAR EXTENDED WARRANTY AT THE TIME. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE NO MENTION WAS MADE THAT THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION WOULD NOT BE SAFE AT NIGHT TO DRIVE. I HAVE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH DEALER STAFF OVER LAST YEAR AND A HALF AS TO THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESULT. HERE IS THE PROBLEM WHEN TURNING A CORNER AT DARK YOU LOSE ALL SIDE VISION IF YOU ARE IN AN AREA WITHOUT STREET LIGHTING. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER HAS BUILT A CAR WITHOUT LIGHTING THAT LETS YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT STRAIGHT AHEAD. WHEN I BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE THIS WITH CHRYSLER REP. AS NO ONE AT DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WE FOUND THE PROBLEM. YOU WILL SEE BY THE EMAILS I HAVE ATTACHED THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF PROBLEM. THEY EVEN HAVE AN OPTION TO FIX CALLED STEERING DIRECTED LIGHTING. HOWEVER I AM TOLD IT CANNOT BE PUT ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AFTER DARK IN AN AREA OUTSIDE OF CITY LIGHTS. AS YOU WILL SEE BY ATTACHED EMAILS I HAVE TRIED TO GET CHRYSLER AND THEIR DEALERSHIP TO PAY ATTENTION BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO EVEN TEST DRIVE THEIR OWN PRODUCT. ALSO NO ONE IN AUTHORITY FROM EITHER CHRYSLER OR THEIR DEALERSHIP HAS CONTACTED ME. ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME FROM DEALERSHIP. ANYONE THAT WOULD COME TO MY HOUSE AFTER DARK AND DRIVE MY CAR AROUND THE BLOCK WOULD SEE THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. THANK YOU FOR ANY ATTENTION YOU MAY PAY TO THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM A CHRYSLER EMPLOYEE AND HAVE ACCESS TO THE CHANGES/BULLETINS. RECALL: P60/NHTSA 14V-634 HAD THE 160AMP IN 3.6L VEHICLES INVESTIGATED IN AUGUST OF 2014 AND SUBMITTED ON 10/07/2014. THE SOLUTION CHANGE WAS CREATED ON 09/12/2014 TO PERFORM A NIK CHANGE FOR THE FAULTY 160AMP TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, THIS WAS DONE WITH 6322-04098-CCD FOR 2015 + FUTURE MODEL YEARS. THE PART NUMBER FOR THE AMP WAS 04801779AG AND THIS CHANGE WAS MAKING IT 04801779AH. HOWEVER, MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300 THAT HAD THE ALTERNATOR GO OUT ON IT 04/11/2017, HAD THE PN 04801779AG. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE CUT OFF DATE ON THE RECALL WAS ANY BUILDOUT MY 2011-2014 BEFORE DECEMBER 23, 2013. I WAS INFORMED MY CAR WAS BUILT OUT THE FOLLOWING MONTH. BUT IF THE PART WAS NEVER CHANGED OUT OF THE PLANT AND WAS NEVER CAUGHT UNTIL AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT, THEN WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT APART OF THE RECALL? WHEN THE 160 AMP FAILED, I WAS DRIVING AND IT GAVE ME LITTLE WARNING. I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OFF TO A SAFE LOCATION. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC DUE TO THIS AND HAD TO PAY FOR A TOW TRUCK. RECALL NUMBER: P60/NHTSA 14V-634

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER 300 IN 2014 AND PAID CASH 25,000 AND ONLY HAVE 17,000 BECAUSE I FEAR FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE IT. ON SEVERAL OCCASION MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT WARNING AND THE GEAR SLIPS FROM DRIVE TO PARK. WHILE EXITING MY VEHICLE AFTER I HAVE PARKED MY CAR SLIPS INTO DRIVE CAUSING ME TO STUMBLE. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO AID ME BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD STOP WITH WARNING. ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY MY CAR STOPPED WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND WENT INTO PARK ON ITS OWN, I NOTIFIED THE TOWING COMPANY AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. WHILE AT A DEALERSHIP I WAS NOTIFIED OF A DEFECT AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD FIX IT. ON A SECOND OCCASION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY THE CAR CONTINUED TO PUT ITSELF IN PARK AND WHILE TRYING TO REVERSE MY CAR WENT INTO PARK. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I AGAIN CONTACTED A TOWING COMPANY WHERE THEY TOWED ME TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. AGAIN AFTER 2 YEARS I AM STILL FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL. MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND VISE VERSA. PLEASE HELP I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, MY HUSBAND HAS RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH PROSTATE CANCER AND I NEED THIS VEHICLE IN ORDER TO WORK AND TAKE HIM TO HIS DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. AT THIS RATE WE WILL BOTH NEED DOCTORS IF I'M NOT DEAD FIRST. THIS IS MY FINAL ATTEMPT TO GET ASSISTANCE WITH VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP HAS MADE ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I AM COMPLETELY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE EACH TIME I DRIVE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
I PURCHASED MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300C BRAND NEW FROM A CHRYSLER DODGE AND JEEP CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP. SINCE THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS. FIRST STARTED WITH THE REAR WINDOW SHADE MALFUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING AND FRONT DRIVER SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE THE SAME DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, DEALER SAID THEY WOULD FIX. TOOK MORE THAN TWO TRIPS TO DEALER TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. NEXT AT AROUND 6000 MILES I HAD CYLINDERS MISFIRE WHILE DRIVING, TOOK ME MORE THAN 3 TRIPS TO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO GET PROBLEM RESOLVED. THEY DID NOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, JUST FIXED IT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I HAD ALOT OF SMOKE AND BURNT SMELL COMING FROM MY ENGIN WHILE DRIVING, DEALER SAID A GASKET WAS MISSING. I HAD AIR COMING THROUGH DRIVER FRONT AND REAR DOORS. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER TO GET FIXED, SUPPOSIBLY THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT TO THIS DATE I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH AIR COMING THROUGH DOORS AS I'M DRIVING, NOW THE WORSE PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING.ON MID 2016 THE RACK AND PINION GAVE OUT. ON SEPTEMBER OF 2016 ALL MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO GO HAYWIRE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, GAUGES GOING UP AND DOWN, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING BY ITSELF, LIGHTS ON AND OFF ETC, THIS HAPPEND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, WE PULLED OVER TURNED OFF THE CAR, TURNED IT BACK ON STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. TOOK TO DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS POWER STEERING PUMP. SO THEY REPLACED. ABOUT A MONTH LATER MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR ACCELERATED TO HI RATE OF SPEED BY ITSELF. AFTER SHE GAINED CONTROL SHE DROVE HOME. NOW 2 DAYS AGO WE HAD THE SAME ELECTRICAL HAYWIRE MALFUNCTION, THIS TIME AS ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS THAT HAPPENED AS LAST TIME THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF, WE PULLED OVER TO GAS STATION, TRIED TO TURN ON AND CAR WAS DEAD, HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ETC LIGHT ON.THIS CAR HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LIGHTING IS TO DIM, CANNOT SEE THE ROAD VERY WELL AT NIGHT AND THERE IS NO SIDE VISION AT ALL DUE TO THE DIMNESS OF THE LIGHTS. IF AN ANIMAL WERE TO JUMP IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT BEE SEEN UNTIL IT WAS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IF SOMEONE IS WALKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD GETTING READY TO CROSS THE STREET AND THE CAR IS GETTING READY TO TURN ONTO THAT STREET, THE PEDESTRIAN WOULD NOT BE SEEN AT ALL!
