FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
C.E.L CAME ON WHEN CAR WAS TURNED ON AND WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE ESIM WAS BAD. COST ME $640.00 TO REPLACE THIS MODULE. ON A CAR THAT HAS LOW MILEAGE AND ISN'T THAT OLD I WOULD THINK THAT THIS REPAIR IS NOT NORMAL. I WAS TOLD HAD THIS NOT BEEN REPAIRED THE THE FUMES WOULD HAVE BUILT UP AND IF I WAS REAR ENDED THEN THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN EXPLOSION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SCREEN TURNS BLACK AND GREEN WHEN ON REVERSE OR SOMETIMES GO BLACK WHILE DRIVING, MAKING CERTAIN CONTROLS LIKE HEATED SEATS AND HEATED STEERING WHEEL INOPERABLE. THE ENTIRE SCREEN FLASHES WITH LINES AND FLIPS BETWEEN BLACK AND GREEN. ISSUE HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT MORE WHEN PUTTING THE CAR ON REVERSE INSTEAD OF SHOWING REAR IMAGE IT GOES INTO A FLASHING GREEN SCREEN. DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND USUALLY THEY REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT WHICH COSTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER 6 MONTHS AND NOW CAR IS 90 MILES OVER THE 36K BUMPER TO BUMPER AND HAD TO OPEN CASE WITH CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY CAN COVER THE REPAIR/DIAGNOSTIC

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
ON MORE THAN 20 OCCASIONS, WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY 'SHUTS OFF'. EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY OFF. ENGINE, POWERTRAIN, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. SOMETIMES THERE'S A WARNING LIGHT THAT FLASHES AFTER THE SHUT DOWN THAT LOOKS LIKE A REDDISH ORANGE SIDEWAYS Z LIGHTING BOLT. THE CHECK ENGINE GOES ON SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. WHEN IT GOES ON IT SOMETIMES STAYS ON AND SOMETIMES IT DISAPPEARS. I'VE HAD 2 CHRYSLER DEALERS AND 1 INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND NO ONE CAN PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. SO FAR, I'VE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, HANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PAN, AND HAD THE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED. I'M BEING TOLD THAT 'MAYBE' IT'S THE FUEL PUMP OR THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THE [XXX] HAS ONLY OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO FAR. THANKFULLY, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER EVERY TIME. THAT MAY BECAUSE I AVOID ROADS WITH NO SHOULDERS AND ONLY DRIVE IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HAS RENDERED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING. I'VE DISCOVERED A CURRENT CHRYSLER RECALL, U87 THAT APPEARS TO BE EXACTLY MY SYMPTOMS, BUT MY CHRYSLER DEALER COULD NOT FIND A CODE THAT PROVED IT.

AIR BAGS
NHTSA THROUGH MAIL ADVISED US TO TAKE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHANGE AIRBAGS. WE DID. JUNE 14,2018. ON NOVEMBER 3,2018 WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE AIRBAG ON THE STEERING WHEEL BLEW UP IN MY FACE INJURING ME AND BURNED ME AND CUT ME. PARAMEDICS CAME AND I WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM. NOT LIFE THREATENING BUT 2 WEEKS IN PAIN AND NOT ABLE TO WORK AND RINGING IN MY EARS FOR A WEEK. MY CAR INSURANCE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO COLLUSION, IT WENT OFF ON ITS OWN, AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED AS DEALERSHIP SAID. THE AIRBAG WENT OFF WHEN CAR WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT SLOWLY IN MOTION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2006, CHRYSLER, 300C STARBOARD FUEL PUMP LEAKING FROM THE PLASTIC HOUSING. I CHANGED THE O-RING AND IT STILL LEAKS GAS. THE GAS PUDDLES ON TOP OF THE PLASTIC GAS PUMP HOUSING. FUMES ACCUMULATE IN THE PASSENGER AREA AND OUTSIDE NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS ABOVE 1/2 FULL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS DRIVING, RUNNING OR THE ENGINE OFF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF OUT OF NOWHERE EVEN GOING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT! STARTS JUMPING GEARS MAINLY WHEN THE RPM IS AT 1 GOING INTO 2. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR FLICKER. AFTER THE CAR DIES OUT, WHEN YOU RESTART IT ITS STUCK IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE IN DRIVE. ONCE YOU SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND RESTART IT, ITS AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. THERE IS A BRAND NEW ALTERNATOR AND A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR AND IT STILL SHUTS DOWN WHETHER YOU'RE GOING 55 ON A HIGHWAY OR SITTING AT LIGHT READY TO TAKE OFF AND IT DIES OUT THEN AS WELL. I HAVE CHILDREN, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY! I HAVE READ THAT MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THANK YOU
