ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

WHEELS
I BOUGHT GOODYEAR TIRES AT A DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER THEM FROM CHRYSLER. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO BALANCE THE TIRES 3 TIMES. I WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR 5 DAYS, BUT THEY DID PROVIDE A RENTAL. I WAS CALLED TO DRIVE THE CAR TUESDAY WITH THE HEAD MECHANIC, AND THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE WAS STILL WOBBLY. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE GOODYEAR AND NOT MICHELIN'S (THAT'S WHAT WAS ON THE CAR ORIGINALLY). I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE RIDE OF THE TIRES AND I WANTED TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE AND GET THE MICHELIN TIRES. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THEY (DEALERSHIP) CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID NO, THEY WILL NOT TAKE THE TIRES BACK. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN ON THE TIRES 3 TIMES, ONCE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY PUT THE TIRES ON. THE SECOND TIME I DROVE HOME AFTER THE SECOND BALANCING WASN'T CORRECT, AND THE THIRD TIME, BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I FEEL THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT CHRYSLER WON'T TAKE THESE BAD TIRES BACK. THEY SHOULDN'T EVEN SELL THESE! I'VE NOTICED THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TIRE WHICH INCLUDES THE SAME THING I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT, WOBBLING. I ONCE WORKED FOR CHRYSLER AND I AM ALSO GOING TO CONTACT SOMEONE AT CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS. I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE A RESPONSE TO THIS COMPLAINT! I BOUGHT THE TIRES ON APRIL 30, 2019, TOOK MY CAR BACK THE SAME DAY, TOOK IT IN ON FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2019, AND NOW PICKING IT UP TODAY, MAY 9, 2019.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT MY DEFECTIVE EXHAUST PIPE SYSTEM ON MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300 THAT CAUGHT ON FIRE ON A CITY STREET ON THE WAY HOME. I HAD IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED A TOW TRUCK COMPANY TO TAKE IT TO A CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOP TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS. SO THEY SHOWED ME THE EXHAUST PIPE WHEN I SAW IT I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THIS BECAUSE I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IT IS NOT FIVE YEARS OLD YET. THE PRICE THEY CHARGED ME TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE WAS 1,430.00 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER. SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE IMPLEMENT A SAFETY RECALL I WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

ENGINE CYLINDER #2 MISFIRE, I WORK AS A SEDAN DRIVER FOR A LIMOUSINE COMPANY AND I'M EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300, TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, THE DIAGNOSE WAS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #2, THE SHOP REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS, AFTER RESETTING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE MECHANIC TOOK THE CAR FOR A ROAD TEST AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK. AFTER SCANNING THE CAR AGAIN THE SAME CODE CAME OUT FOR A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #2. THE TESTED FUEL INJECTORS AND ENGINE COMPRESSION AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HEAD CYLINDER. AFTER TALKING TO OTHER DRIVERS THAT OWN THE SAME VEHICLE AS MINE, THE TOLD ME THAT SOME OF THEM ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND 2 OF THEM THEY DID REPLACE THE CYLINDER HEAD ALREADY. DUE TO THE TYPE OF WORK WE DO WE PUT A LOT OF MILES ON OUR VEHICLES, SO FAR I 116,000 MILES SO I'M DEFINITELY NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY.
