ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY CAR WILL OUTRIGHT JUST STOP FOR NO REASON. I WILL SIT AT A LIGHT AND THE RPM GUAGE WILL START GOING OUT OF CONTROL AND THE CAR WILL REV ON ITS OWN. THEN I WILL START DRIVING AND TI WILL BE FIND UNTIL I GO TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES. THEN THE WHOLE CAR WILL CUT OUT. I'M ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN OVER AGAIN AFTER TWO OR THREE EFFORTS OF TURNING THE KEY AND PUMPING THE BRAKE. IT HAS ONCE DONE IT WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, WHICH I AM NOT OKAY WITH. LUCKILY, WE WERE TURNING INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY INTO HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. IT TURNED OFF AND ON ABOUT 7 TIMES DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE IT STARTED RUNNING PROPERLY AGAIN. IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I WOULD HIT THE BRAKES OR ATTEMPT TO TURN. THE CAR CUT OUT LIKE IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS PLENTY IN THE TANK. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE (TRACTION, ABS, ETC) CAME ON AND THEN DISAPPEARED ONCE IT STARTED RUNNING OKAY AGAIN. I HAD MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED TWICE THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND IT WAS NOT. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND IT'S TO LATE TO FIX IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. IT WAS FINE THEN THEN LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING INSIDE AND OUT AND THEN WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. NO LIGHTS OR POWER AT ALL. HAD TO GET A JUMP START. THEN WHEN I TRIED TO GO IT WAS REVVING UP BUT WOULDNT MOVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN JUMPED INTO GEAR REAL HARD. IT HAD SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER AND WOULD GET UP AND GO. IT'S REAL SLOW FROM THE START AND IT DANGEROUS DRIVING IT BECAUSE IT WILL JUST REV UP AND NOT MOVE THEN JUMP INTO GEAR VERY HARD. IT HAS ALMOST THROWN MY CAR INTO THE BACK OF OTHER CARS BECAUSE IT JUMPS SO BAD I TO GEAR ALL OF A SUDDEN. THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER CAR COMING G IT SOMETIMES BARELY MOVES AND IT VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAS BEEN STUCK IN 2ND GEAR EVER SINCE. IT HAD A LOT OF LOSS OF POWER. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACE 2 TIMES AND BOTH INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL ARE ALL STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. ALSO WHEN I TURN THE CAR IT MAKES A LOUD POPPING CRACKING SOUND BY THE WHEELS. LIKE IT'S GOING TO BREAK. ALSO GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS IT'S REALLY LOUD AND SQUEAKY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR HAS ONLY 92000 MILES AND MAINTAINED GOOD. SINCE IT WAS ONLY 70000 MILES THE A.C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT INSIDE THE DASHBOARD THE EVAPORATOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY CAUSING FREON LEAK. AND OUTRAGE REPAIR OF 2000 DOLLARS WILL BE THE COST. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY CHRYSLER'S 300 2005-2010. SINCE THAT IS A MAIN ISSUE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART? IT SEEMS LIKE THAT COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OVER A 10000 CUSTOMERS AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ON THEIR PRODUCTS CHRYSLER GUARANTY THAT ISSUE LIKE THIS WOULD NOT APPEAR UNTIL VEHICLE REACH AT LEAST 100000 MILES. LIVING IN STATE OF FLORIDA THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TEMPERATURES REACH 120 F IN THE VEHICLE. OTHER ISSUES INCLUDE ARE FUEL INJECTORS AND EGR SENSOR CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING WITHOUT NO WARNING AND IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I ALWAYS SUPPORT BUYING USA VEHICLES AND WE ALL NEED TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR ECONOMY BUT IF COMPANIES DON'T STAND FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS GUARANTY AND QUALITY EVERYONE WILL PURCHASE DIFFERENT VEHICLES WITH BETTER QUALITY.
