2013 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE REPAIR, AND THAT THE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,409.

I FOUND A RECALL FOR CHRYSLER 300 (N65), BUT IT'S ONLY FOR A 3.6L MODEL. I HAVE A 5.7L HEMI AWD AND THE OUTPUT SHAFT JUST BROKE WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE... THERE HAS TO BE OTHERS. I JUST HAD ANOTHER RECALL FIXED ON THIS CAR. THEY JUST NEED TO RECALL THIS ENTIRE MODEL. IS THERE ANY CHANCE 5.7L WILL ALSO BE RECALLED ON THIS ISSUE?

ON 22 MAR 2017, MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300 STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND NOTICE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM MY ALTINATOR. GETTING IN TOUCH WITH MY INSURANCE TO SET UP A TOW TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE THE MY ALTINATOR CAUGHT ON FIRE, QUICKLY PUTTING IT. CONTINUING WITH MY CONVERSATION IT STARTED UP AGAIN FOR A 2ND TIME. FINALLY ONCE THE TOW TRUCK SHOULD UP, THEY TOOK IT TO COLORADO SPRINGS DODGE, 7455 AUSTIN BLUFFS PKWY COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80923 719-475-8550. I ASK THEM IF THEY HAD ANY RECALLS FOR THIS UNUSUAL PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME NO, I ENDED UP PAYING IT OUT OF POCKET, $936.35 TO REPLACE THE ALTINATOR AND BATTERY. I SEE TODAY THAT YOUR WEBSITE HAS SHOWN ME THEIR ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE ALTINATOR FAILING. IF THERE'S ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PASS DOWN TO ME TO HELP ME GET MY MONEY BACK I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

VEHICLE ALERTED "BATTERY SAVER MODE" AND SHUT DOWN MANY OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED DRIVING AND CALLED AAA BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED AND ATTEMPTED TO TOW, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER TURN ON. BROUGHT TO LOCAL DEALER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED AND FRIED THE BATTERY. SINCE I HAVE THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. FROM MY RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR ARE HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AS THE 160AMP ALTERNATORS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING RECALLED.

THE CAR SIMPLY SHUT DOWN, NO WARNING, DRIVING ABOUT 60 ON AN INTERSTATE. NOTHING WOULD WORK, POWER-STEERING WAS OUT, NO BRAKES, NOTHING. THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON "SOME" OF THE VEHICLES WITH A 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160 AMP ALTERNATOR BUT IT APPEARS THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO VEHICLES WITH DIFFERENT TYPE ENGINES OR AMPS. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS AND CHRYSLER'S DEALERSHIPS, CUSTOMER SERVICE, ETC....SIMPLY SAY NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. THESE CARS ARE DEATHTRAPS WAITING TO HAPPEN.....THE CARS SIMPLY STOP!!!!

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FUNNY. JOLTS DURING SHIFT AND IT HESITATES TO SHIFT GEAR AT PICK UP SPEED. IT'S A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT COULD CUASE AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURER RECALL TO ADDRESS THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,149.

I HAVE A 2013 CHRYSLER 300S. WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED AROUND 45 MPH IN CITY DRIVING, CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING LEFT AT FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SECONDS LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY LEAVING ME WITH NO OR LITTLE CONTROL OVER STEERING. THE RADIO TURNED OFF, LIGHTS IN CAR STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF, SCREENS ON THE DASH TURNED WHITE, AND ALL ERROR LIGHTS ON DASH TURNED ON. BURNING ELECTRICAL/RUBBER SMELL FILLED THE CAR. ALL ISSUES IDENTICAL TO THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000. I CHECKED MY VIN TO SEE IF MY CAR WOULD BE COVERED BUT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON EXACT MODELS OF MY CAR THAT WERE ALSO NOT COVERED. I AM VERY THANKFUL MY CAR WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEFORE ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT US BECAUSE MY KIDS OR MYSELF PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN WORST, KILLED. ONCE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I TRIED RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WOULD TRY TO START BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO TURN OVER. ALL LIGHTS AND SWITCHES INSIDE THE CAR WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF, HEATER WAS BLOWING WHEN WE HAD IT SET TO AC, PUSHING ON THE BREAK WOULD TURN OFF ALL LIGHTS IN THE CAR, ETC. I HOPE WITH ALL THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINT, AND POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, THEY WILL CONSIDER RECALLING THE ADDITIONAL MODELS OF ALTERNATORS THEY ARE CLEARLY HAVING THE SAME DEFECTS.
