FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Strong fuel Oder in car after fueling. It's been venting in the cabin and it makes you lightheaded after some time of driving. I've checked for leaks and no leaks. I suspect fuel is gathering under rear seats. The smell seems to be most prominent around the rear D/S seat and near the fuel nozzle entry area.

The center console and both front door panels need to be replaced as the panel is pulling away from the doors and the console. Research shows that when the panels on the door requires repair, this could render side front air bags ineffective and the car can easily lose heat and allow cold air inside. Similarly, with the center console, this could cause the p/n/r/d gears to malfunction. I did contact Chrysler (case# 80922998) as was advised that my claim was declined because the 2-year warranty had been exceeded. My car is a 2015 Chrysler 300. The issue did not start until 2020. Research also revealed that many of the Chrysler 300s are experiencing this issue. Also, I did have the dealer to take a look at the panels when I went to have my car serviced on 10/27/2021 and was advised to submit a claim with Chrysler. Finally, please note that my car is a 2015 with only 19,609 miles as of 10/27/2021.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I REFUELED MY VEHICLE WITHOUT TOPPING OFF. A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL CAN BE SMELLED IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR AFTER FUELING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN MORE WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN I PARKED TO INVESTIGATE THE STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, RAW FUEL COULD BE SEEN RUNNING FROM BEHIND THE WHEEL WELL ONTO THE GROUND. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITED FOR THE FUEL TO STOP HITTING THE GROUND BEFORE STARTING AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE AGAIN. MY CONCERN WAS THE FUEL LEAKING ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST AND CAUSING A FIRE.

STEERING, POWER TRAIN
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL/ ABS LIGHT/ BRAKE LIGHT.. WHILE DRIVING THE ESC AND ABS POPPED ON TOGETHER, AFTER CRANKING BACK UP THE VEHICLES BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED, SOMETHING IS STOPPING THE VEHICLE FROM DRIVING NORMAL. UPON STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS THE CAR JERKS, ALSO IT SKIDS WHEN MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT HAND TURNS. THE CAR REVS WHEN ACCELERATING BUT THE RPMS ARE REDUCED AS IF IN LIMP MODE. THE CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY TWO LANE HIGHWAYS IT GRAVITATED TOWARDS THE DITCH THIS TIME I JUST COULD TURN THE WHEEL, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ANTI LOCK BREAK AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS SPEED CONTROL IS DEACTIVATED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSORS, AS I HAVE HAD TWO OF THESE REPLACED OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. MY ACCOUNT MANAGER MADE THE COMMENT TO JUST "REPLACE" ALL OF THEM AS THIS IS A REGULAR PROBLEM. THE COST IS EXCESSIVE, COMING IN AT $400 PER SENSOR. THE LIGHTS HAVE NOW COME ON A 3RD TIME, SO THE ACCOUNT MANAGER WAS RIGHT. THE DATE WAS AUGUST 26, 2020. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES, SO I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED.

MY WIFE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE SHE WAS HIT IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AT HER DOOR, REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND FRONT FENDER WHILE TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION. IMPACT WAS 35-40 MPH. NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE HIT HER HEAD AND SHOULDER ON WINDOW CAUSING SEVERE PAIN TO HER HEAD,NECK AND COLLAR BONE, AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.
