CHRYSLER Complaints

11/14/15 SPEEDOMETER, RPM DIAL, FUEL GAUGE, TROUBLE SHOOT LIGHTS, DIALS SPIN AROUND, LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF THEN CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE FWY AND SITTING AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN KEY OFF AND TURN BACK ON AND GO. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE 8 YEARS AGO, I HAD CONTACTED THE DEALER HE SAID HE COULD NOT FIX IT UNTIL IT WENT OUT COMPLETELY. IT FINALLY WENT OUT COMPLETELY. I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY IT WAS FIXED. NOW THIS PAST SATURDAY IT IS ACTING UP LIKE IT WAS 8 YRS AGO AND IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

ON SEPTEMBER 21, MY CHRYSLER 300 2006 WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I TRIED EVERYTHING INLUDING THE "FIXES" NOTED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. LOOKING ONLINE, THERE WAS A RECALL (K39) FOR THE EXACT ISSUE THAT I WAS ENCOUNTERING. WHILE WAITING ON THE TOW TRUCK FROM AAA, I WAS ABLE TO CALL CHRYSLER AND GIVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER. THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES, EVEN THOUGH IT FELL IN THE YEAR RANGE AND THE SAME EXACT DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUE WAS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD LET THEM KNOW IF IT WAS SOMETHING THEY NEEDED TO COVER. I WAS SHOCKED. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME, HE SAID THAT IT HAD JUST TOWED A CHRYSLER FOR THE SAME REASON. HE SEES IT ALL THE TIME WITH THE VEHICLE. HE TRIED THE SAME METHODS I EMPLOYED TO GET IT OUT OF PARK, BUT TO NO AVAIL. WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE ME SIGN A "RELEASE FROM DAMAGE" FORM AND DRAG IT ONTO HIS FLATBED, I SAID I WOULD RATHER WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK WITH A LIFT. A COUPLE HOURS LATER, A DIFFERENT TOW MAN ARRIVED AND SAID HE SEES THIS ALL THE TIME WITH CHRYSLERS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED HIM FIRST. HE REMOVED THE COVER FROM THE SHIFTER AND USED A SCREWDRIVER TO PUT IT INTO GEAR. HE SHOWED ME HOW TO DO IT, BUT SAID TO LEAVE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHEN I PARK AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BREAK. HE SAID THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE, DUE TO THERE BEING A RECALL AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A RIGGED VEHICLE UNTIL I GET IN FOR MY APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS, HOPING THEY WILL REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFTER FOR FREE.

BATTERY DEAD AND KEY STUCK IN IGNITION. NO REASON FOR BATTERY TO BE DEAD, BUT IT IS, AND NOW THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WE CANNOT GET IT OUT. IT'S A SATURDAY NIGHT, KEEP TRYING TO GET KEY OUT, NOT SURE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO!! BEFORE THIS, WHEN CAR WAS 2 WEEKS OLD, THE KEY FOB/DOOR LOCKS STOPPED LOCKING/UNLOCKING CAR - CALLED DEALER, THEY SAID CHRYSLER KNEW ABOUT IT AND "TEMPORARY FIX, I TOOK IT IN AND THEY "RESET" THE COMPUTER. WELL, THE "FIX" LASTED ABOUT 2 HOURS, AND NOW ON WEEK 3 OF IT STILL NOT WORKING. ALSO, WHEN THE FRONT WIPERS ARE TURNED ON, RANDOMLY, THE REAR WIPER WILL JUST START WIPING BACK & FORTH -- WILL NOT STOP UNLESS TURN OFF FRONT WIPERS, THEN TURN BACK ON. UGH!!

WHEN I CRANK UP AND ACCELERATE I HEAR A RADDLING NOISE AND I'M CONCERNED THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED THE LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE SHOULD THIS BE A CONCERN?

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. NOW THE CAR WON'T START AT ALL DUE TO THE FAULTY IGNITION IN THE 2008 CHRYSLER 300 WHICH HAS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2014. IT IS THE P57 RECALL. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS. AND CHRYSLER NOR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES/DEALERSHIPS HAVE OFFERED US ANY FIX BE IT TEMPORARY, PERMANENT OR BY JUST LOANING US A CAR. WHICH IS RIDICULOUS AND REALLY IS A HARDSHIP FOR A MOTHER WITH AN INFANT AND 5 YEAR OLD WHO GOES TO SCHOOL. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. FROM THE FIRST WEEK THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR(2/10/2013) USED WITH 71,000 MILES THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUES I EXPERIENCED WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR BY SHIFTING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN EVEN WHEN I WAS NOT ACCELERATING, THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHENEVER I WOULD GO OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE PROBLEM ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY INSIDE MY TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT ISSUE I EXPERIENCED WAS A SHIFTING IN THE FRONT END WHENEVER I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP OR POT HOLE IN THE ROAD, I FOUND OUT THAT THE STRUT, BALL JOINT, AND THE ROCKER ARM HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY FRONT END. THEN THE DIALS ON MY DASH STARTED TO GO CRAZY PERIODICALLY FOR NO REASON AT ALL, I HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS IS BUT I ASSUME IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER. I ALSO EXPERIENCED COMPLETE FAILURE OF MY COOLING SYSTEM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIER, CONDENSER, EXPANSION VALVE, AND ONE OTHER PART THAT I CANNOT REMEMBER. THE TOTAL FOR THIS JOB WAS ABOUT 2,700 AND THE TRANSMISSION WORK WAS 3,750 AND THE WORK ON THE FRONT END WAS A TOTAL OF ABOUT 800.00 NOT TO MENTION THE BRAKES I'VE REPLACED AND THE NEW SET OF TIRES I BOUGHT FOR THE CAR AND I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 1 YEAR AND 7 MONTHS. *TR

MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C HAS ONLY 44240 MILES N IT AND NOT ABUSED SINCE MY WIFE AND I ARE TOTALLY DISABLED VTRANS WITH SPECIAL "DV" REGISTRATION SO WE CAN BE DRIVEN TO THE VTRANS HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL SERVICES. ON SAT8/30/14 WHILE IN THE GARAGE AND NOT BEING USED FOR AT LEAST A WEEK, MY CAR'S STICK TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE USE OR MOVEMENT OF THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE. THE USAA TOW TRUCK CARRIER HAD TO DRAG THE REAR END OF THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE ONTO THE FLATBED TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN WALDORF, MD, WHERE ALL THE WARRANTY WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS CAR FROM "DAY ONE!" I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE 2 CHEAP PLASTIC PINK SWITCHES ON THE STICK MECHANISM THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A CHARGE OF ABOUT $250 TO ME AND THE TOW CHARGE ALSO AND THIS WAS RECURRING COMMON "PROBLEM "WITH THE CAR YEAR AND REPORTED TO CHRYSLER AS A RECALL. I WILL INITIATE A CLASS ACTION SUIT IF NECESSARY UNDER 28 USC IN FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT IN GREENBELT, MD, FOR REDRESS OF ANY COSTS TO ME. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IN MOTION, THIS GEAR SHIFT COULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY CHANGE IN GEAR IN ANY EMERGENCY AND CAUSE THE DRIVER TO PANIC. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER, DRIVING WHEN HIT A BUMP, FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. WITH A DOZEN OR SO VEHICLES BEHIND ME, AT 55 MPH HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A PILE UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US ON 2 DIFFERENT JEEPS, A 98 WRANGLER AND THIS 08. THIS 08 HAS ALMOST MEW TIRES AND THE FRONT END IS STILL TIGHT. THIS IS THE MOST RECENT OF SEVERAL TIMES THE JEEP HAS BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY IN THE LAST YEAR. *TR

HIT SMALL BUMP ON EXPRESSWAY CAUSING 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY LIKE THE WHEELS WERE LOOSE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET OFF THE EXPRESSWAY TO CHECK WHEELS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BY THE INITIAL REACTION IS TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION (CRASH). AFTER INSPECTING VEHICLE SHAKING HAD STOPPED. *TR
