VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED DOWN AND ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN AND THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. IT DID AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO STOP ACCELERATING AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE BUT THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT SHUT OFF. I NOW HAVE THE CAR IN THE SHOP BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES LIKE IT ERASED ITSELF FROM THE MEMORY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2015 CHRYSLER 300S HAS A DIAL GEAR SHIFT THAT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. I RESIDE IN ND AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE FRIGID WEATHER. THE CARS DIAL SHIFT WAS STUCK AND II HAD MY TWO CHILDREN WITH ME IN THE COLD -40 TEMP AND -30 WINDCHILL. I HAD TO WALK TO GET HELP AND LEAVE MY KIDS IN VEHICLE. AFTER BEING STUCK FOR 4 HRS, I TRIED IT AGAIN AND THE SHIFT WENT INTO GEAR. IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL OCT 20TH AT 10:38 AM. THE WEATHER WAS NICE BUT THE SHIFT ONCE AGAIN LEFT MY KIDS AND I STRANDED AFTER PARKING AT A THRIFT STORE. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND 1 HR THE GEAR WORKED AGAIN. I'M A WIDOW WITH 2 UNDER AGE KIDS AND NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND THIS IS NOT IT. THE RADIO CHANGES STATIONS WHEN IT WANTS, AND THE HEATED SEATS AND HEAT WORK WHEN USED. THE HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WORKS WHEN IT FEELS BUT THE AIR DOES BLOW. THERE IS JUST NO HEAT!! FOR NORTH DAKOTA THAT'S NOT GOOD !! MY CAR IS CHRISTINE OR YOU BUILT A DANGEROUS UNSAFE CAR !! NOW, I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE DIAL SHIFT WILL COST ME $400, THE SEATS $300, AND THE ELECTRIC PROBLEMS ARE STARTING AT $500 PER BISMARCK REPAIR SHOPS, INCLUDING CHRYSLER!! I AM TAKING MY CAR TO EIDE CHRYSLER OCTOBER 27TH AT 9 AM AND WILL HAVE TO PAY LABOR COSTS WITH WHATEVER EXTRA THEY CHARGE BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT PPOR AND UNSAFE!! THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OFF BOTH TIMES. WHEN GETTING IN TO START IT , THE SHIFT WOULD NOT WORK. THE FIRST TIME WAS VERY COLD, THE SECOND WAS A NICE DAY. THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON FOR THESE EXPERIENCES.

THIS IS NOT A 3 HOUR JOB. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AVAILABLE AND ARE ON INDEFINITE BACK ORDER DUE TO AN UNBELIEVABLY HIGH DEMAND. CAN NOT DRIVE CAR SAFELY DUE TO THE CAR BEING CRIPPLED BECAUSE OF A $29 SENSOR. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AND HAVE DRIVEN LESS THAN 5000 MILES, THE SENSOR LITERALLY WENT BAD IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE MECHANICS NEW IT IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM AND ARE CHARGING PEOPLE WAY OVER WHAT SHOULD BE FOR WHAT IS AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART. THEY ALSO TOLD ME IS WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY CAN GET THE PART WHICH IS UNTRUE DUE TO 2 SAFETY MODUALS AND ONE DRIVE TRAIN FUNCTION BEING DISABLED. THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ON AN INDEFINITE BACKORDER FROM THE FACTORY TELLS THIS IS A MODEL WIDE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I NOTICED ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WASN'T WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING & PARKED. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TURNED ON MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ALL OF THE LIGHTS FAILED, INCLUDING THE REAR LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENED AFTER DARK WHILE DRIVING SO I'M LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT! FROM THEN ON THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. TO GET ANY LIGHTS TO COME ON I HAD TO TURN THE KNOB AND RANDOM LIGHTS WOULD WORK. THE NEXT DAY, ONLY THE FOG LIGHTS WORKED WITH NO REAR LIGHTS OTHER THAN WHEN BRAKING. 2 DAYS LATER, ALL THE LIGHTS WORK EXCEPT THE 2 HEADLIGHTS! CRAZIEST THING EVER!

POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING ON A FREEWAY RAMP AND ALSO FROM A STOP THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO CHANGE GEARS UNTIL THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE IN EACH SITUATION. HAVING TO APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN ACCELERATING TO JOIN FREEWAY TRAFFIC IS NOT A GOOD THING. IN BOTH CASES A TURN WAS INVOLVED, TURNING ON TO THE RAMP (LEFT) AND TURNING ONTO ANOTHER STREET, ALSO TURNING LEFT. IN NEITHER CASE WAS IT A "HARD" ACCELERATION.

MY WIFE PULLED OUT OF THE GARAGE, FORGOT HER GLASSES, PULLED HALFWAY BACK INTO THE GARAGE , PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AS SHE WAS EXITING THE CAR, IT LUNGED FORWARD HITTING OUR GARAGE WALL. WE HAVE THE ROTARY DIAL SHIFTER ON THIS CAR. IT REMINDED ME OF THE ACTOR IN LOS ANGELES WHO GOT OUT OF HIS CAR TO GET HIS MAIL AND HIS JEEP WENT OUT OF PARK AND UNFORTUNATELY PINNED HIM AGAINST HIS FENCE AND WAS KILLED. I HAD THE CAR INTO SERVICE AND IT WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND ALSO AN INDEPENDENT ENGINEERING FIRM. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER SAYING THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG WITH THE CAR. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS AT ALL. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT CHRYSLER HAS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR ELECTRONIC SHIFTERS.
