2014 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

I PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER 300 IN 2014 AND PAID CASH 25,000 AND ONLY HAVE 17,000 BECAUSE I FEAR FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE IT. ON SEVERAL OCCASION MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT WARNING AND THE GEAR SLIPS FROM DRIVE TO PARK. WHILE EXITING MY VEHICLE AFTER I HAVE PARKED MY CAR SLIPS INTO DRIVE CAUSING ME TO STUMBLE. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO AID ME BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD STOP WITH WARNING. ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY MY CAR STOPPED WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND WENT INTO PARK ON ITS OWN, I NOTIFIED THE TOWING COMPANY AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. WHILE AT A DEALERSHIP I WAS NOTIFIED OF A DEFECT AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD FIX IT. ON A SECOND OCCASION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY THE CAR CONTINUED TO PUT ITSELF IN PARK AND WHILE TRYING TO REVERSE MY CAR WENT INTO PARK. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I AGAIN CONTACTED A TOWING COMPANY WHERE THEY TOWED ME TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. AGAIN AFTER 2 YEARS I AM STILL FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL. MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND VISE VERSA. PLEASE HELP I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, MY HUSBAND HAS RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH PROSTATE CANCER AND I NEED THIS VEHICLE IN ORDER TO WORK AND TAKE HIM TO HIS DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. AT THIS RATE WE WILL BOTH NEED DOCTORS IF I'M NOT DEAD FIRST. THIS IS MY FINAL ATTEMPT TO GET ASSISTANCE WITH VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP HAS MADE ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I AM COMPLETELY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE EACH TIME I DRIVE.

I PURCHASED MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300C BRAND NEW FROM A CHRYSLER DODGE AND JEEP CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP. SINCE THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS. FIRST STARTED WITH THE REAR WINDOW SHADE MALFUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING AND FRONT DRIVER SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE THE SAME DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, DEALER SAID THEY WOULD FIX. TOOK MORE THAN TWO TRIPS TO DEALER TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. NEXT AT AROUND 6000 MILES I HAD CYLINDERS MISFIRE WHILE DRIVING, TOOK ME MORE THAN 3 TRIPS TO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO GET PROBLEM RESOLVED. THEY DID NOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, JUST FIXED IT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I HAD ALOT OF SMOKE AND BURNT SMELL COMING FROM MY ENGIN WHILE DRIVING, DEALER SAID A GASKET WAS MISSING. I HAD AIR COMING THROUGH DRIVER FRONT AND REAR DOORS. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER TO GET FIXED, SUPPOSIBLY THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT TO THIS DATE I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH AIR COMING THROUGH DOORS AS I'M DRIVING, NOW THE WORSE PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING.ON MID 2016 THE RACK AND PINION GAVE OUT. ON SEPTEMBER OF 2016 ALL MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO GO HAYWIRE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, GAUGES GOING UP AND DOWN, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING BY ITSELF, LIGHTS ON AND OFF ETC, THIS HAPPEND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, WE PULLED OVER TURNED OFF THE CAR, TURNED IT BACK ON STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. TOOK TO DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS POWER STEERING PUMP. SO THEY REPLACED. ABOUT A MONTH LATER MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR ACCELERATED TO HI RATE OF SPEED BY ITSELF. AFTER SHE GAINED CONTROL SHE DROVE HOME. NOW 2 DAYS AGO WE HAD THE SAME ELECTRICAL HAYWIRE MALFUNCTION, THIS TIME AS ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS THAT HAPPENED AS LAST TIME THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF, WE PULLED OVER TO GAS STATION, TRIED TO TURN ON AND CAR WAS DEAD, HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ETC LIGHT ON.THIS CAR HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY.

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 .

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.
