ENGINE
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN AUGUST 2006 AND IN OCTOBER 2006, I HAD ENGINE LIGHTS PROBLEMS FROM THAT DATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT AT AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. THIS IS MY FIFTH COMPLAINT AND I JUST HAD IT REPAIRED THIS YEAR AFTER SEVERAL OTHER THINGS.IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I FIRST CONTACTED YOUR OFFICE. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS COVERED AND TO TAKE IT I FOR REPAIR THEN I HAD TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. THAT'S REALLY SAD WHEN YOU PURCHASE AND RELY ON THE COMPANY TO UPHOLD THEIR WARRANTY AGREEMENT. HE QUIT ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER THE THE WATER SEAL POPPED AND THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED AND I WROTE TO YOU ABOUT THAT AND YOU DID NOT REIMBURSE ME.

ENGINE
2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 6.1L STALLS. ONCE NORMAL IDLE TEMPERATURE REACHES 200 DEGREES, THE CAR STARTS TO REV UP AND DOWN AND EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF. NO CODES.

I HAD A MINOR (SMALL BUMP) ACCIDENT AT A GAS STATION. IDLE STARTED TO FLUCTUATE AND AT ONE POINT, THE CAR JUMPED A BIT, I HIT THE BRAKES BUT I CAME INTO MINOR CONTACT WITH THE CAR IN FROM OF US. HELPS US TO GET THIS RESOLVED.

I BOUGHT MY CAR USED IN 2010. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON. I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP ONE YEAR AGO AND HE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON IT AND IT WOULD COST OVER $450 TO FIX. I JUST REVIEWED THE RECALLS ON BOTH AIRBAGS ONE DATED 5/3015 AND THE OTHER 5/2016. I JUST CALLED SAFECAR.GOV AND SHE SAID THERE IS NO REMEDY YET. THE RECALLS SAID THEY NEED TO BOTH BE REPLACED. I'M PRINTING PAGE OUT AND TAKING TO DEALERSHIP AND HOPE THEY WILL REPLACE BOTH AIRBAGS AS STATED ON THIS WEBSITE.
