"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND! TELL YOU THAT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. REASON FOR THIS CONTACT IS THAT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT CARS WITH SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS MADE BY TAKATA! I BRING THIS UP HERE BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A PLACE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO YOU WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT! I HAVE NO PERSONAL INJURY EITHER! I DO NOT WANT ONE WITH THESE TAKATA SIDE AIRBAGS EITHER! NOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I AM USING THIS SITE TO REPORT THIS POSSIBLE PROBLEM LET ME TELL YOU WHY I AM DOING THIS. AS I SAID I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300 2008 YEAR CAR THAT HAS HAD BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED BY THIS RECALL BY CHRYSLER. NICE JOB BY YOU FOR THIS! STILL WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CHRYSLER 300 NEW IT CAME WITH THE PROTECTION GROUP OPTION! THE THING THAT IS IN THIS OPTION THAT IS OF CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT IT COME WITH THE SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS! WHEN THIS CAR HAD THE TAKATA IN THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS THEN IT IS LOGICAL THAT THE FACTORY WOULD HAVE TAKATA SIDE AIRBAGS FOR THE SIDE IMPACT AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS WHEN THE CAR WAS MADE! I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND STILL THE OWNER OF THIS CAR! I DO NOT WANT ANY TAKATA AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR. NOW THAT TAKATA HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY THAT MAKE IT AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM! I DID CONTACT CHRYSLER AND THEIR DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THEY WOULD NOT HELP WITH TELLING ME IF THOSE AIRBAGS WERE MADE BY TAKATA. ON THE SECOND TIME THE DEALER WILL TAKE ONE APART TO SEE IF IT IS TAKATA BUT IT WOULD COST $384.00! ONE MORE TIME NO ACCIDENT NOW OR IN THE PAST REASON FOR THIS CONTACT THROUGH THIS IS BECAUSE I SAW NO WHERE ELSE TO DO IT. I UNDERSTOOD THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE TO HAVE TO REACH SOME NUMBER BEFORE DOING ANYTHING FOR A RECALL. THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN SHOW FALSE RESULTS. I CAN SAY THAT BECAUSE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE IN SMALLER NUMBERS THAT THOSE WITHOUT BAGS! RECALL *JS

VISIBILITY/WIPER
FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS THE INTERIOR WINDOWS FOG UP REAL BAD WHEN IT GETS BELOW 32 DEGREES. IT IS GETTING WORSE AND VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS AFTER DRIVING A VERY SHORT DISTANCE. THE DEALER HAS CHANGED THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR AND THE HEATER CORE BUT THIS HAS NOT MADE ANY DIFFERENCE . THEY HAVE TOLD ME NOW THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE A LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON THE CAR AND I NEED TO HAVE THIS FIXED BECAUSE OF SAFETY REASONS. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM SO IT IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE. THE WINDOWS CLEAR UP AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPS FOR A WHILE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I HAVE TRIED ALL DIFFERENT HEARTER / DEFROSTER SETTINGS AND NOTHING WORKS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE BEEN NO HELP. THEY SET UP AND APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER FOR ME BUT THEY OFFERED NO HELP AT ALL. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE SOMEONE CONTACT ME BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

I HAD THE IGNITION CONTROL MODULE REPLACED IN APRIL 2016 DUE TO RECALL. TODAY I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION TO START POSITION, THERE IS A PAUSE, AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE RULED OUT A NEW BATTERY, STARTER, ALTERNATOR FAULTS. RESEARCH HAS NARROWED IT TO THE PCM, TIPM, OR THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE. HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE CHRYSLER DEALER TO DIAGNOSE FURTHER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WITH OUT WARNING AND STARTS RIGHT UP AFTER TURNING OFF IGNITION AND RESTARTING. IT APPEARS TO BE SOME ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC KEY FOB OR IGNITION CONNECTION. OF COURSE WHEN A MECHANIC LOOKS AT THE ISSUE IT SEEMS TO WORK. SCARY AND DANGEROUS. HAPPENED SINCE WE BOUGHT IT OFF & ON.

SUSPENSION
TAKEN CAR TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND SOURCE OF PROBLEM, EVEN WITH THE MECHANIC EXPERIENCING THE SERIOUS SHAKING WHILE BRAKING ON MOUNTAINOUS HIGHWAYS. INSPECTED BRAKES, TURNED ROTORS, REPLACED SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND SHAKING STILL OCCURS. SOME PROBLEM ON THESE MODELS BECAUSE MY BROTHER IN LAW HAD SAME EXPERIENCE WITH HIS 300C. NOW CAR DRIVES FINE IN TOWN AND ON FREEWAY AT SPEED. 120K ON CAR NOW.
