2018 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!! I WAS GOING 35 IN THE RAIN ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. TRAFFIC STARTED TO SPEED UP AND I COULD COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. IT TOOK OVER A MILE TO GET UP TO SPEED. IF SOMETHING SHOULD FAIL, IT SHOULD NOT MAKE THE CAR UNSAFE TO OPERATE.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FREQUENTLY FAILS TO WORK AS DESIGNED. VEHICLE WILL FREQUENTLY FAIL TO DETECT VEHICLES (IN ALL CONDITIONS, AND ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF VEHICLES) IN FRONT OF IT AND NOT ONLY FAIL TO SLOW OR STOP, BUT INSTEAD ACCELERATES. THIS HAS REQUIRED MANUAL BRAKING MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY AND STOP IN TIME. ADDITIONALLY THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE FAILS TO RECOGNIZE CARS IN ITS LANE AND WILL RANDOMLY PANIC BRAKE WHEN THERE IS NO VEHICLE IN THE LANE, IT APPEARS PICKING UP A VEHICLE IN THE NEXT LANE OVER. THIS OCCURS ON STRAIGHT ROADS AS WELL AS CURVED, WITH FLAT AS WELL AS VARIED ELEVATION. LASTLY, VEHICLE THREW 3 CODES FOR TRANSMISSION SENSORS AS WELL AS EGR (U0402, U0402PD, AND P1DD2) WHILE CASUALLY DRIVING. THIS CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AS WELL AS VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. THIS CAUSED A DANGEROUS INCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS IN SHOP FOR ISSUE ON 4/26.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND THEN LUNGED FORWARD.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. *BF*JB

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL HAS BEEN MALFUNCTION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP THREE OR MORE TIMES FOR IT. 2 DAY AGO I RECORD ON MY IPHONE AS THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN DUE TO A STOPPED CAR AHEAD OF ME AND THEN SUDDENLY STARTED SPEEDING UP WHILE THE CAR IN FROM WAS STILL STOPPED DUE TO A RED LIGHT. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES BUT I DO HAVE A SMALL VIDEO. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN UPLOAD THAT SOMEWHERE FOR YOU TO VIEW. ALSO MY RADIO RESET TO ALL THE DEFAULT STATION WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF. THE DEALER REPLACE THE SENSOR OR CAMERA THAT TRACKS THE ACC, BUT I'M STILL HAVE THE TROUBLE. ON THE SAME DAY I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND I SET MY ACC TO 35. I AIMED THE CAR TOWARDS A PARKED CAR, AND THE ACC DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE CAR, DID NOT FLASH THE BRAKE ALARM, OR DID ANYTHING. I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID A SWERVE TO AVOID A COLLISION. AGAIN I HAVE THE VIDEOS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE TIRES, SIZE: 245/45Z/R20 (NA). WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING AN OIL CHANGE AT DERROW CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF DEFIANCE (419-782-7373, LOCATED AT 20390 COUNTY RD 424, DEFIANCE, OH 43512), IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS SPLIT AND THE THREAD ON THE OTHER THREE TIRES WERE COMPLETELY WORN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,500.

I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT'S BACK AGAIN. THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY WHEN THEY CAN WAS MADE. SAY IT A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS, THE REPAIRED IT LAST TIME AND I FEE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NOT JUST MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. I PURCHASED THE CAN BRAND NEW AND EXPECTED THEM TO STAY BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE ANY PROBLEM PARTS THAT ARE FOUND. NOW I HAVE TO TAKE OFF TIME FROM WORK AGAIN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED. THE CAR CAN BE PARKED AND THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT WITH COME ON AND GO OFF AT WILL. THE FRONT PARKING SENSOR WILL STOP WORKING OUT OF THE BLUE BECAUSE I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH. THEN IT WILL JUST START WORKING AGAIN. SAME WITH THE FRONT RIGHT FOG-LIGHT DOES THE SAME THING COME ON AND GOES OUT AT WILL...

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 02/09/2019 AND AS I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO GET WET DUE INSIDE THE FRONT LIGHTS. THE FRONT RIGHT HEADLIGHT THEN STOPPED WORKING. TO ME THIS IS SERIOUS UNSAFE ISSUE.

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
