DEATH TRAP...I AM DULY NOTICED (P60/NHTSA 14V-634) OF A DEFECT IN MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300 PURCHASED FROM BILL LUKE CHRYSLER JEEP & DODGE INC. ON 11/25/2012 IN THE AMOUNT OF $33,768.39. THE NOTICE CAME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC TO SPECIFIC OWNERS. HUGE TYPE..."IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" CHRYSLER GROUP TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE NO TIMELINE FOR COMPLETING THE REPAIR...IN FACT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. IT APPEARS THAT THE PART NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED BEFORE CHRYSLER GROUP CAN BEGIN THE REPAIR PROCESS. A "REASONABLE" TIME FOR COMPLETING THE REPAIR IS NOT ON THE TABLE. BILL LUKE CHRYSLER JEEP & DODGE, INC. AND CHRYSLER GROUP LLC HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE LOANER OR RENTAL CARS DURING THE TIME IT WILL TAKE TO COMPLETE REPAIRS ON THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. I REFUSE TO OPERATE A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE BEEN DULY NOTICED IS DEFECTIVE AND MIGHT BE THE INSTRUMENT CAUSING ACCIDENTAL PROPERTY AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO ME, MY FAMILY, OR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE. THE DEATH TRAP HAS BEEN STORED SINCE 12/15/14. ACTUALLY, THIS CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL IS A DIABOLICALLY CLEVER CYA. OWNERS ARE FORCED TO EITHER PARK THE VEHICLE FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD AND BE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE THEY PURCHASED...OR, DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND BY VIRTUE OF BEING FOREWARNED OF THE DEFECTIVE NATURE OF THE VEHICLE, BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PERSONAL OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE DEFECT. IT APPEARS THAT NHTSA IS A WILLING PARTNER WITH CHRYSLER TO THIS CYA. NHTSA SHIELDS CHRYSLER FROM LEGAL ACTION. THIS TRAVESTY MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE. I HAVE SENT AT LEAST TWO EMAIL MESSAGES TO NHTSA STAFF AND ONE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. I CAN'T TRADE A RECOGNIZED DEATH TRAP WITHOUT SUFFERING UNREASONABLE FINANCIAL COST AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT WITHOUT ACCEPTING AND UNREASONABLE DEATH TRAP RISK. RECALL # 14V634000.

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR ALTERNATOR DIODES, SAYING CAR MAY STOP OR NOT START. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE COMPANY CAN TELL ME WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE CAR. I BELIEVE IT TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT MAY/WILL STOP WITHOUT NOTICE. I NEED BETTER INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS MODEL ARE THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN. FORWARD VISION IS SEVERELY LIMITED AND SIDE VISION IS PRACTICALLY NON-EXISTENT. THE ONLY INCIDENT I HAVE HAD SO FAR IS IMPACT WITH A RACCOON THAT DAMAGED THE FRONT FASCIA BUT THE RACCOON COULD JUST AS EASILY HAVE BEEN A PERSON OR LARGER ANIMAL. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE PROMPTLY BEFORE THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR
