  VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD SUDDENLY FELL TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL GEAR. THE CONTACT PULLED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL UP FROM THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE AND HEARD A POPPING SOUND. THE CONTACT RESUMED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A SPEED OF 60 MPH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE HAD BEGUN TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUMP THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL EXCESSIVELY WITH HIS FOOT WHICH CAUSED THE PEDAL TO MOVE INTO ITS NORMAL POSITION. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE FLOOR MATS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15000.

  STEERING:RACK AND PINION, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.

  TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER 300. UPON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL AND WOULD DISAPPEAR ONCE THE TIRES WERE "BROKEN IN." THE NOISE CONTINUED WELL OVER THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE RACK AND PINION STEERING WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE PART TO REPAIR THE STEERING WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL HIM ONCE THE PART ARRIVED AND WOULD ASSUME LIABILITY. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THE DEALER ALLOWED HIM TO PURCHASE A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CD PLAYER WOULD NOT PLAY A COMPLETE DISC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,800.

  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN

  PURCHASED A 2009 CHRYSLER 300 IN FEBRUARY AND ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO BLOW MY HORN WHEN THE CAR WAS NOT ON. I WAS PARK WITH THE CAR MOTOR OFF & TRIED TO GET THE ATTENTION OF ANOTHER MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVER THAT WAS BACKING UP AND IT APPEARED THAT THEY DID NOT SEE MY CAR - AND THE HORN DID NOT BLOW! I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP & THE REPRESENTATIVE WHO WAS GREAT IN TRYING TO GET AN ANSWER FOR ME. SHE OPEN UP A CASE FOR ME WITH YOU ALL. I DO NOT WANT A CAR WITH THE HORN DISABLED WHEN THE MOTOR IS NOT RUNNING. I NEED THIS CORRECTED ASAP!! *TR

  POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

  I HAVE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND I NOTICE THAT MY MATRIX WILL ROLL BACKWARDS IF I HAVE A 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY TOURING WITH 1000 MILES ON IT. IF I AM STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, WHILE IN A FORWARD GEAR (E.G. DRIVE). IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THE CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARDS - LIKE A CAR WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WOULD. IS THIS NORMAL BEHAVIOR? I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS. *TR
