EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PURCHASED USED 2014 CHRYSLER 300S ON 9/28/16 AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AT NIGHT FOUND THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND WHEN TURNING THE CAR RIGHT OR LEFT ALMOST NO LIGHT. WE LIVE IN A RURAL PART OF SOUTH EASTERN WISCONSIN AND HAVE A LOT OF DEER AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT ANY RECALLS ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT SEE ANY THAT WERE LISTED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BUT IT ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED .

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVING MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300 AT NIGHT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. THE HEADLIGHTS GIVE YOU NO SIDE LIGHT AND THE LOW BEAM IS VERY DIM. THE PROJECTED LIGHT BEAM IS MISADJUSTED AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. WORST NIGHT TIME HEADLIGHTS I HAVE OWNED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP. IT IS BAD ENOUGH I NEED PRESCRIPTION EYE GLASSES TO SEE DISTANCE AT NIGHT, BUT THEY DON'T WORK WITH POOR HEADLIGHTS. *TR

I GOT INTO MY CAR WHICH WAS PARKED INSIDE MY HOUSE GARAGE. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND MOVED ABOUT 1 TO 2 FEET BACK - BUT HAD TO STOP THE CAR AS MY BROTHER WANTED TO GET INTO THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN "PARK". AS HE WAS GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR I STARTED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AS I WANTED TO GET A TOWEL ON MY GARAGE SHELF. HOWEVER, BEFORE MY BROTHER COULD CLOSE THE DOOR THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS OUT OF THE GARAGE. I WAS ALREADY OUT OF THE CAR WHEN IT WAS MOVING BACKWARDS SO I COULD NOT GET BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT -SO INSTEAD I REACH DOWN AND PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH MY HAND. BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. THE PASSENGER DOOR GOT CAUGHT ON THE GARAGE WALL AND WAS BENT BACKWARDS. THE PASSENGER DOOR IS NOW DAMAGED, BENT IN TWO PLACES AND DOES NOT CLOSED CORRECTLY.

STEERING
"STEERING WHEEL" THE LEATHER WRAPPED STEERING WHEEL OF CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP AND RAM VEHICLES HAS A POOR QUALITY OF LEATHER WHICH CRACKS AND DISINTEGRATES OVER TIME, THE VEHICLE NOTED IN THIS COMPLAINT AT LESS THAN 30,000 MILES SHOWED THE MATERIAL DEFECT. IT HAS BEEN A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE TO WHICH FCA-CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RESPOND TOO. THE ISSUE IS THAT OVER TIME AS THE MATERIAL CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BREAK APART CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSES ISSUES WITH THE ABILITY TO CORRECTLY HOLD ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AMONG OTHER THINGS. THE LEATHER USED IT WAS CONFIRMED BY A REPRESENTATIVE FOR FCA-CHRYSLER IN THE ORLANDO FLORIDA REGION THAT THIS OCCURS EVEN ON VEHICLES SHE OWNS AND OTHERS SHE HAS INSPECTED AND WILL NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY.
