ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER 300C FEW YEARS AGO. WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL FOR ALTERNATOR BY MAIL. THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE ALTERNATOR GOES OUT FEW MONTHS LATER CAUSING CAR TO BLINK ALL SENSORS AND POWER GOES AWAY. TOOK IT IN STILL NO RECALL PART AVAILABLE. DEALERSHIP PUTS IN SAME ALTERNATOR TO GET ME BY. MONTHS LATER SAME ISSUE OCCURS. THEY REPLACE AGAIN WITH RECALL PART. CAR STILL BLINKING N NOW STUCK IN FIRST GEAR SOMETHING IT WASN'T DOING WHEN BROUGHT IN. I BELIEVE THE ALTERNATOR IS THE CAUSE OF OTHER COMPONENTS FALING..NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR THOSE PARTS. I'M FURIOUS BECAUSE CAR IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE . I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AND FIXED AT NO CHARGE UNDER RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM I AVOIDED DUE TO UNAVAILABLE RECALL PARTS

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK IS BROKEN CAUSING AN INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS VEHICLE CAN NOT BE MOVED. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 FOR SOME VIN'S BUT NOT ALL - EVEN THOUGH UNLISTED VIN'S HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

CAME OUT OF THE STORE TO START THE CAR. IT WOULDN'T START. ENGINE MADE A COINS SHAKING IN CAN NOISE. HAD TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER, THEY ASKED IF IT HAD OVERHEATED, I SAID NO BECAUSE IT HADN'T SHOWN ANY SIGNS IT HAD. THEY SAID IT GOT SO HOT THINGS MELTED AND VALVE SEATS AND PISTONS WERE RUINED. I'VE READ ABOUT DODGE JEEP AND CHRYSLER HEMI 5.7S AND VALVE SEATS AND MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH NO SURE REASON AS TO WHY. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME DEFECT IN THE ENGINE ITSELF CAUSING THIS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY'S WON'T COVER CLAIMING BECAUSE VALVE SEATS AREN'T AN INTERNALLY LUBRICATED PART OR SOME BS REASON. NEEDS IMMEDIATELY LOOKED INTO I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MY CAR OVER IT!
