CAR WAS WORKING JUST FINE. PARKED IT AND CAME BACK TO IT TO LEAVE AND IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. NO WARNING, NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM, AND NO LOOSE OR BROKEN GEAR SHIFT AND IN A SPLIT SECOND, HAS LEFT ME STRANDED. EVEN THOUGH THE K39 NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER STATES THAT MY YEAR AND MAKE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED, THEY WON'T HONOR IT UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT IT ONLY COVERED 30,000 VEHICLES AND MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE TOO BUT THEY WON'T COVER IT.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NOWHERE, I NOTICED THAT MY COOLANT INDICATOR LEVER HAD NOT MOVED. A FEW MILES LATER, IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGH SO I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND THEN IT STARTED SMOKING SO BAD I THOUGHT IT WOULD CATCH FIRE! I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO OPEN THE HOOD BECAUSE I WAS SO AFRAID! THANKFULLY FOR A FDOT OFFICER WHO DID OPEN IT AND STAYED WITH ME IN POURING RAIN UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME! AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING BELT BROKE NOT GIVING ME ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER AND RESULTED IN MY ENGINE FAILURE. THEY STATED I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE AT A COST OF OVER $7000!!! I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED HOW THIS ALL HAPPENED! NO WARNING! NO WAY TO HAVE KNOWN THERE WAS AN ISSUE OR THAT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING! CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STALLED OUT AND DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND ALL I COULD DO WAS TO LET IT COME TO A STOP AFTER TRYING TO STEER IT FAILED. CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL, IT ONLY MADE A SLIGHT NOISE WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT WENT TOTALLY DEAD. HAD IT TOWED HOME AND CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC. WAS TOLD THAT MY SPARK PLUGS WERE BURNED OUT AND THE OIL PUMP FAILED, THENHAD SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, THATS WHEN IT STARTED AND STOPPED FOR GOOD. THAT'S WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE OIL PUMP AND HE TRIED TURNING THE FRONT PART OF THE MOTOR IT WOULD NOT TURN, HE THEN TOLD ME I NEED A MOTOR. I'VE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE PROOF. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO THE CHRYSLER 300'S. I'M LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T GET HURT OR IN A BAD WRECK. IS CHRYSLER GOING TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM OR WAIT TILL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I'M JUST ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED OR REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, NOW I'M STRANDED AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A CAR. THEY NEED TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WAS ABOUT TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY. I ALSO BEEN HAVING COOLANT LEAKING AND CAR RAN HOT SEVERAL TIMES, COULDN'T FIND WHERE THE COOLANT LEAK WAS, HAD TO CHECK EVERY OTHER DAY AND ADD MORE COOLANT. NO COOLANT WAS ON THE GROUND UNDER THE CAR. BECAME HARD TO START AND HAD ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FREEWAY SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TO WAIT FOR IT TO COOL OFF BEFORE CHECKING AND ADDING MORE COOLANT, AND WAITED AWHILE LONGER BEFORE STARTING IT TO DRIVE HOME. CHR CHRYSLER NEED TO BUY THIS CAR BACK. IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF, LOOKS NEW, HAS NO DENTS AND NO RUST, INSIDE IS CLEAN, NO DAMAGE, ONLY LITTLE WEAR. I'M THE ONLY OWNER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING THE GAS THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND STALL. I ALWAYS USE 91-93 OCTANE FUEL FROM THE KROGER FUEL STATIONS, AND WHEN LEAVING THE LAST FEW TIMES I'VE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING UP TO SPEED WITHOUT THE CAR GETTING TO SPEED OR STALLING. IT WILL RESTART NORMALLY PRETTY EASILY OTHER THAN YESTERDAY WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT, IT KEPT STALLING COMING HOME, SHE PARKED IT, AND THE NEXT MORNING IT REFUSED TO START. IT TOOK A WHILE BUT AFTER STARTING AND RUNNING IT A BIT, IT'S RUNNING FINE. VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY IN FOR CHECKUP AT 78900 MILES (80K CHECKUP) AND HAS JUST OVER 80K ON IT NOW. I'M AN ADULT DISABLED DRIVER, IT GETS DRIVEN JUST NOT FAR AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 2 YEAR HAVE A SHIFTING PROBLEM. I CAN'T GET IT INTO GEAR AND GO OVER 28 MPH. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE SECOND TIME I WAS INVOLVED INTO A ACCIDENT BECAUSE TEA WENT FROM 50 MPH TO 30 MPH BACK TO 50 MPH TO A BARRICADE ON THE HIGHWAY. MY INSURANCE COVER THE REPAIRS AND A WEEK LATER STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND MECHANIC SAID IT?S NOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HE BELIEVE IT A SENSOR PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME I JUST NEEDED NEW BRAKES. I SHIP IT FROM HAWAII TO NEW YORK AND THE MECHANIC REPLACE THE SENSOR IT WAS FINE FOR A WEEK. I DROVE IT TO VA FOR MANDATORY TRAINING AND IT COMPLETELY DIE ON ME BACK TO DRIVING UNDER 28 MPH. MY CAR IS STATIONARY IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN VA BECAUSE IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG...*BF *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR HAS STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A CITY STREET ABOUT 35 MILES SPEED LIMIT WITHOUT WARNING. WHAT WORRIES ME IS THAT MY 3 YEAR OLD RIDES WITH ME. I DON'T WANT IT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SINCE I'M GOING THE SPEED LIMIT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST SHUTS OFF CAUSING ME TO STOP AT A HALT. I HAVEN'T SEEN OR RECEIVED ANY RECALL ABOUT THIS THAT'S WHY I'M REPORTING IT. IF YOU CAN PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS EVERYONE AFFECTED WOULD APPRECIATE IT. I SAW AN ONLINE THREAD ABOUT SIMILAR COMPLAINS. 2 LIGHTS ALSO COME ON ON THE DASH.

WHEN SITTING IN PARK AND CAR RUNNING IT SURGES UP AND DOWN. WHEN IN DRIVE AND SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR ANYTHING THAT U HAVE TO STOP FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, MEANING SECONDS, THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND SHUT OFF OR STALL. IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME, ANY TIME. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART IF YOU DON'T DO IT THAT WAY IT WILL START AND SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR ON 9/22/2017 AND IT HAS HAPPENED EVERYDAY SINCE. I'VE LEARNED THAT IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE SITTING FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF.
