ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A CHRYSLER 300 ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS 7 MONTHS LATER. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS I GOT IN THE CAR TO START IT AND THERE WAS NO POWER, I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO FIND WHERE THE BATTERY WAS LOCATED. THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS WENT TO START IT AGAIN STILL NO POWER. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACE WITH A NEW ONE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS PASSED AND I RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR, ONCE AGAIN I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR ON MAY 2015. NOW THIS IS MEMORIAL WEEKEND GO TO DRIVE MY CAR ONCE AGAIN AND THE CAR HAS NO POWER AND NO ONE IS OPEN CAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY TO FIX MY CAR.

WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR, ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE, I ACCELERATED TO AVOID A SUDDENLY SWERVING 18-WHEELER. MY CAR CONTINUED ACCELERATION AFTER I RELEASED THE PEDAL. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO STOP. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (AND AVAILABLE, GIVEN ROAD WORK AND FAST, HEAVY TRAFFIC), I PULLED OVER TO THE INSIDE SHOULDER AND GAINED CONTROL BY USING FULL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE AS WELL AS ENGAGING THE PARKING BRAKE. THE CAR CONTINUED REVVING HIGH. CALLED CONROE DEMONTROND FOR HELP, AS THAT IS WHERE I BOUGHT THIS CAR, AND THEY CONNECTED ME TO A TOWING COMPANY, WHICH WAS USELESS AS CAR COULDN'T BE SWITCHED OFF -- I HAD MANAGED TO PUT CAR INTO NEUTRAL, BUT ENGINE WOULDN'T STOP REVVING, AND I WASN'T ABLE TO PUT IT INTO PARK OR TO STOP THE CAR. I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION BETWEEN TWO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS: SEND MY CHILD ONTO THE PACKED HIGHWAY, OR HAVE HER REMAIN IN THE CAR WITH ME, WHICH I WAS GROWING ALARMED MIGHT EXPLODE GIVEN THE HIGH REVOLUTION AND ACCOMPANYING NOISE. I SENT HER OUT WITH THE CAR FOB. AFTER WHAT SEEMED FOREVER, THE CAR SHUT DOWN, AS THE FOB WAS GONE FOR LONG ENOUGH. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME, AS I WAS RETURNING FROM THE TRIP I HAD TO TAKE DURING THE FIRST PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR "SNAPPED OUT OF IT" MORE EASILY. DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A VERY HARD TIME ABOUT THIS, AND IN THE END SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY RE-SET THE COMPUTER, AND FOR A BIT OVER A MONTH, IT SEEMED OKAY WITH A FEW HICCUPS, BUT EVENTUALLY, THE CAR HAS BEGUN TO "STICK" ON ACCELERATION AGAIN, AND OCCASIONALLY NOW LAGS, OR MISSES, BEFORE ACCELERATION. I RECEIVED NOTE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR FROM THE MANUFACTURER MONTHS AGO. THIS MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR THE CAR'S PROBLEM, BUT IT IS DOUBTFUL AS FAR AS THE STICKING GOES, SINCE THE PROBLEM LISTED BY THE NOTICE IS STALLING. I DO WONDER IF IT MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR THE NEWER PROBLEM, THOUGH. YESTERDAY, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED

ON 05/10/2015 DURING THE AFTERNOON I TURNED ON MY AC AND IT BLEW WARM AIR. I DON'T USE MY AC VERY MUCH DUE TO INCREASE FUEL USAGE BECAUSE I DRIVE 76 MILES TWICE A DAY 4 DAYS A WEEK, BUT ON THAT DAY WHEN I REALLY NEEDED IT IT WASN'T WORKING. I BOUGHT MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300S NEW ON 06/02/2013 AND THE ONE TIME I DROVE CAR TO VEGAS IT WAS WORKING FINE AS A MATTER OF FACT IT WAS BLOWING EXTREMELY COLD AIR WHICH WAS GREAT. I TRIED CALLING THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT, BUT BECAUSE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN'T OR WONT HELP ME WITH IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300 WAS UNDER A RECALL FOR ALTERNATOR ISSUES. I ALREADY HAD NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS HAD FLASHED THE ALTERNATOR WITH THE LIGHTNING BOLT TWICE RECENTLY. THEN MY CRUISE WENT OUT, ABS SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE DAYS AFTER I REVIEWED THE RECALL NOTICE I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICES AT [XXX] IN SAVANNAH GA, OFF ABERCORN ST. WHEN THE SERVICE PERSON TOOK MY CAR I IDENTIFIED THE ISSUES AND HE SAID THAT HE WILL CHECK IT OVER TO INCLUDE CHECKING THE WHEEL SENSORS. NOTING THE WHEEL SENSORS SPECIFICALLY, MADE ME A BIT SUSPICIOUS. LATER HE CALLED ME AND STATED THAT A WHEEL SENSOR WENT BAD AND IT WAS NOT RELATIONAL TO THE RECALL NOTICE. HE SAID HE HAS THE PART AND IT WOULD BE $187 TO FIX IT. I STATED THAT THE NOTICE STATES THAT THE WHEEL SENSOR COULD BE IMPACTED. HE SAID, NO SIR IT READS THE MODULE NOT THE SENSOR AND THEY ARE NOT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. I FIND THIS TECHNICALITY NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER AND I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS 39K MILES ON IT, IS SERVICED REGULARLY AND HAS NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE CRUISE, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL GOING OUT AT THE SAME TIME HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
