THE MIL CAME ON AS I TURNED ON MY CAR ONE DAY AFTER WORK. I HAD FLIPPED THROUGH THE VEHICLE INFO AND NOTICED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS AT 99. I WENT TO GET THE CODE READ AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT THAT IS MALFUNCTIONED. I HAVE READ FORUM AFTER FORUM REGARDING CHRYSLER 300 VEHICLES RANGING FROM YEARS 2011-2014 AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WILL THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE UNIT FOR FREE?

I WAS TOLD THAT THE CHRYSLER 300, 2014, WAS UNDER RECALL, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, I ASSUME, SINCE THE CAR WAS UNDER A LEASE AGREEMENT. THE PROBLEM I EXPERIENCED ONE DAY WAS THE THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. DURING THE TOWING, THE CAR WAS DAMAGED IN THE FRONT END AND NOW RATTLES ON THE LEFT FRONT WHEN THE CAR HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED AND THE DAMAGE REPAIRED SINCE THE DAMAGE AFFECTS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR. IN ADDITION, THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM CAUSED THE CAR TO BE SCRATCHED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND COST ME A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AND MONEY. PLEASE CONTACT ME SO THESE PROBLEMS MAY BE RESOLVED BY THE DEALER THAT HANDLED THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS HAYES CHRYSLER.

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY POOR BOTH DOWN ROAD AND TO SIDE EVEN WITH TOWN STREET LIGHT DIRECTLY OVERHEAD I ALMOST HIT MY NEIGHBOR RIDING HIS BICYCLE AS I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE. DEALER SAYS NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO IMPROVE VISION. EVEN ON HIGH BEAM, NEVER GET RESPONSE FROM OTHER DRIVERS THAT LIGHTS ARE TOO BRIGHT. RURAL ROAD DRIVING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AT NIGHT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
