ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, INTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT
WE HAVE TAKEN OUR 2008 CHRYSLER 300 TO 2 DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS AND THEY HAVEN'T FIXED OUR CAR. OUR CAR WINDOWS, AC, LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, FAN ETC DON'T WORK SEVERAL TIMES. WE HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO RESTART THE CAR AND SOMETIMES WE GET THE POWER BACK. THE FIRST CAR DEALER ARE SAYING THEY DON'T SHOW ANY ERROR IN THE SYSTEM. THE OTHER DEALER TOLD US SOMEONE MAY HAVE OPENED THEIR GARAGE AT THE SAME TIME WE STARTED OUR CAR AND THEY SAW A COUPLE OF ERRORS BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY WANT US TO BUY AMERICAN CARS AND THEN WE GET CHEATED AND LIED TO BY CHRYSLER. THEY SHOULD FIX OUR CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT A 2008 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED 3.5 ON DECEMBER 18TH. ON SUNDAY THE 23RD, I USED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER DUE TO FLYING ROAD WATER AFTER A RAIN, THAT RESULTED IN A TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. ENGINE STOPPED UNTIL I RELEASED WINDSHIELD WASHER SWITCH, AND WHEN IT RESTARTED..IT WAS IN A LOWER GEAR, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT SLOW DOWN WITH BRAKING. SUCH AN EVENT IN FASTER AND HEAVY TRAFFIC COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM FOR OCCUPANTS AND/OR THOSE DRIVING BEHIND A CAR EXPERIENCING SUCH AN EVENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO A MAJOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BOARD THAT WAS ORDERED. THE CAR WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALER ON DECEMBER 24TH AND TODAY THEY CALLED STATING THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. IF ON BACK ORDER, ONE HAS TO THINK THAT THERE IS A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM THAN JUST MY AUTOMOBILE. *TR
