UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE
DROVE MY CAR TO WORK IN THE MORNING WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER WORK I STARTED THE CAR AND COULD NOT SHIFT THE GEAR OUT OF PARK. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON ETC. BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP. THEY CAME AND REMOVED THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY TO GET IT TO THE SHOP AND SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE A SMALL PLASTIC PIECE WAS BROKEN INSIDE AND THEY COULDN'T JUST REPLACE THE PIECE, IT HAD TO BE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY FOR THE COST OF $300.00. NO WARNINGS OR OTHER ISSUES. AFTER LOOKING THE PROBLEM UP ON THE INTERNET, SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR SEVERAL TIMES JUST SHUTTING DOWN OR ALMOST SHUTTING OFF (JERKS LIKE YOU ARE HIT AND SEEMS LIKE IT IS SHUTTING DOWN BUT THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL) WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN. USUALLY IT WILL START BACK UP QUICKLY BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED 2 TIMES BECAUSE OF IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 DIFFERENT TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DIDN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS.

POWER TRAIN
TODAY MY WIFE STARTED HER CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT REVEALED THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCKING LEVER ISSUE. CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE ABOUT IT. THEY EVEN POSTED THIS PDF DOCUMENT ONLINE ABOUT IT. HTTP://WWW.CHRYSLER.COM/WEBSELFSERVICE/PDF/K39.PDF I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS TO VERIFY BUT THEY STATED IT WAS ONLY FOR CHRYSLER 300'S BUILT AFTER JULY 2007. WHEN I QUESTIONED WHY THE LETTER WAS ON THEIR WEBSITE THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME AT THIS TIME. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (MORE NOTABLY IN MOIST WEATHER, I.E. RAIN, MORNING DEW, AND HUMIDITY) MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OFF OR VEER ON TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERROR CODES, NOR DOES IT HAVE ANY STORED CODES FROM THE OCCASIONS THAT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE HAS COME UP. THE DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND CANNOT ATTRIBUTE IT TO ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR. THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO PROVIDE ME ANY TYPE OF ADVICE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE "SUBJECT TO LEMON LAWS" AND SO FOR THAT FACT I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER IS ATTEMPTING TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO A VERY REAL, VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. IT HAS A LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE PAPER WORK OF THE WARRANTY I STILL HAD TO ARGUE WITH A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER ON A COVERED PART. AFTERWARDS I STILL HAD TO PAY A $50.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT CAME WITH THIS LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. AS I READ THE COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS VEHICLE, THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE GEAR SHIFT HANDLE STICKING AND EVEN THE ONE ABOUT THE OPERATION FROM 4 TO 8 CYLINDERS I WHAT TO LEAVE THIS INFORMATION ON HERE FOR THEM. IF THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE 07 CHRYSLER 300C AND HAVE KEPT UP THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ON IT THEN THEY TO SHOULD HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THOSE REPAIRS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE POWER TRAIN. MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE HEATER. THE KNOB ALLOWS YOU TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE FROM 60 TO 88 HIGH. MY HEAT DOESN'T COME ON UNTIL IT'S TURNED ALL THE WAY UP TO HIGH AND THEN IT IS SCORCHING HOT. THERE'S NO IN-BETWEEN. IT'S EITHER COLD OR VERY HOT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND VERY AGGRAVATING. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE PAST WINTER I DIDN'T DRIVE MY 300C FOR A MONTH DO TO THE ICE AND SNOW. I LEFT IT PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE BATTERY DIED. SO I CHARGED IT AND NOW THE 3 LIGHTS, THE ANTI-LOCK BREAKS, SKID AND TRACTION WONT GO OFF. I'VE CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND EVEN HOOKED UP THE SCANNER TO CHECK FOR CODES. NO BAD FUSES AND NO BAD CODES. I'VE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE HOPING THAT MIGHT RESET WHAT EVER IS CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON. STILL NO LUCK. I'VE DROVE THE CAR ALL SPRING, SUMMER AND NOW FALL 2014 WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES OR STEERING. BUT I DO NOT WANT THESE LIGHTS TO STAY ON AS THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE SAFETY ITEMS AND IS CONCERNING. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS? IF SO CAN YOU EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FOUND OUT IF ANYTHING. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, POWER STEERING CUTS OFF WHEN I'M SITTING AT A LIGHT BUT ONLY AFTER I PULL OFF. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL REALLY QUICK AND START IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ONCE AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I TOLD HIM I ALMOST GOT RAMMED IN THE BACK TWICE BECAUSE IT CUTS OFF RIGHT AFTER I PULL OFF AND I HAVE A HARD TIME TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT ALSO. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE SHIFTED IN GEAR. I WAS IN A PARKED STATUS AND COULD NOT PULL THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. AAA WAS CALLED AND THEY COULD NOT TOW ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE TOWED BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET IT ON THE FLATBED. AAA DISPATCHED ANOTHER TRUCK WITH A DOLLY AND AN ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WHO WAS ABLE TO PULL THE GEAR LEVER WHILE PRESSING DOWN ON THE BRAKES TO RELEASE A PLASTIC PIN ON THE LINKAGE CABLE THAT WAS KEEPING THE LEAVER FROM MOVING. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
CHECK TPM SYSTEM SHOWS ON MY DASH DISPLAY EVERY 10 MINUTES AFTER I START MY VEHICLE. THIS STARTED OCCURRING AFTER I HAD MY TIRES ROTATED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRIED TO DO A BATTERY DISCONNECT AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS . THEY COULD READ ALL OF THE PRESSURES BY USING THE LITTLE WAND ON EACH TIRE. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO MAKE THEM FIX WHAT THEY BROKE, THEY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND THE WHEEL ROTATION MUST HAVE TRIGGERED SOMETHING. THEY STARTED ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS THAT THEY SAID THEY GOT FROM CONSULTING CHRYSLER LIKE "ARE YOU GOING BY A TOWER THAT COULD BE DISTRACTING YOUR SIGNAL?" I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR 7 YEARS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I AM GETTING A SIGNAL TO DISTRACT MY SYSTEM. NOT! THEY KICKED ME TO THE CURB AND TERMINATED MY REPAIR ORDER EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF TALKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND GENERAL MANAGER. I CONSULTED ANOTHER TIRE SERVICE COMPANY AND THEY COULD NOT TELL WHY. I AM AT A LOSS AND VERY IRRITATED FROM THE SIGNAL EVERY CAR STARTUP. I HAVE SINCE PAID TO HAVE ANOTHER TIRE ROTATION TO SEE IF I COULD CHANGE THE WAY THE SENSORS ARE READING TO THE MAIN RELAY AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE FOR NOW. *TR
