WHEN SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT THE ABS DOES NOT ENGAGE. THE TIRES LOCKUP THE CAR SLIDES, BUT THANKFULLY IT STOPPED BEFORE HITTING THE OTHER CAR. THIS HAS TO BE A FAULTY ABS SYSTEM BECAUSE I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE ABS SENSORS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *JS

WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH WITH THE AC ON THE CAR SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO STOP AND RE-START THE CAR AFTER A FEW MINUTES. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. WITH NO POWER STEERING THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR STARTED AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND I MADE IT HOME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DETACHED, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. A SECURITY GUARD FILED A REPORT BUT THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

ONE MORNING MY HUSBAND WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK AROUND 6 AM WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATOR. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY SO WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED IT (CARMAX). UPON FURTHER REVIEW WE WERE TOLD THE ENGINE BLEW DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD UP AND THEY NEEDED OUR MAINTENANCE RECEIPTS. EVEN AFTER PROVIDED THE DOCUMENTS FOR THE LAST YEAR THEY STILL REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE CHRYSLER DOESN'T COVER SLUDGE BUILD UP. WE WERE ADVISED TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM BY A SHOP THAT SELLS THESE 2.7 LITER ENGINES BECAUSE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THESE ENGINES NATION WIDE. CHRYSLER SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO ISSUE A RECALL.UNFORTUNATELY THEY'LL RECOGNIZE THIS DEFECT WHEN THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC PILE UP ON THE ROAD AND PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES.

MY CAR WOULDN'T START BY PUSHING START BUTTON. I CALLED A LOCAL (LAREDO) CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE KEY JUST NEEDED TO BE PROGRAMMED, SINCE MESSAGE SHOWED KEY DAMAGED. I TOOK THE BUTTON OFF AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR WITH KEY. AFTER, $160.00 THEY RETURNED THE CAR TO ME WITHOUT REPLACING THE START BUTTON BACK ON-- WHICH WAS IN CUP HOLDER. I REPLACED THE START BUTTON AND TO MY DISAPPOINTED, CAR STILL DIDN'T START. OK, 1ST ?, YOU'D THINK THEY WOULD HAVE TESTED THE VEHICLE, SINCE THAT WAS THE INITIAL COMPLAINT. MESSAGE STILL SHOWS --KEY DAMAGED! SERVICE MGR. CLAIMS THAT I AM ALREADY GETTING OFF EASY BECAUSE HE DIDN'T CHARGE ME LABOR, REALLY WHAT LABOR--IT DOESN'T START. NOW, HE CLAIMS IT'S NOT THE KEY ...IT'S SOMETHING ELSE AND THERE IS NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE KNOWN --NOW I NEED TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $187, PLUS 1/2 FOR LABOR--HE'S CUTTING ME A DEAL ON THE LABOR FEES. NEEDLESS TO SAY I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HIS SUPERVISOR AND HE IS IT, WOULDN'T ALLOW ME NOR WOULD TELL ME HIS SUPERVISOR WAS. HE SAID HE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE DECISIONS AND IT'S FINAL. SO, I'M OUT $160, STILL DIDN'T GET MY CAR FIXED. UPON RESEARCHING I SAW SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE (WIN) SYSTEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. IS IT A RECALL AND IS THE DEALERSHIP REQUIRED TO FIX IT? ALSO, HOW CAN WE AS CONSUMERS BE BETTER EDUCATED PER SAY TO BE AWARE OF WHAT THESE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE REPAIRING/REPLACING BASED ON RECALLS. I CAN BET THEY ARE NOT VOLUNTEERING RECALL INFORMATION AT THE DEALERSHIP. AND HOW CAN WE BE CERTAIN THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING THE JOB AND NOT JUST SENDING THE CAR TO SERVICE AND NOT REALLY REPAIRING WHAT THE RECALL IS ADVISING TO FIX. *TR
