2014 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

THE MIL CAME ON AS I TURNED ON MY CAR ONE DAY AFTER WORK. I HAD FLIPPED THROUGH THE VEHICLE INFO AND NOTICED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS AT 99. I WENT TO GET THE CODE READ AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT THAT IS MALFUNCTIONED. I HAVE READ FORUM AFTER FORUM REGARDING CHRYSLER 300 VEHICLES RANGING FROM YEARS 2011-2014 AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WILL THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE UNIT FOR FREE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 300. WHEN THE FOB KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THE "KEY REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE" WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOISED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000.

VEHICLE PURCHASED IN SEPT 2014, WITHIN A MONTH AND ONLY DRIVING IT 550 MILES I WAS PARKING VEHICLE, AT THE TIME DIDNT REALIZE HOW IT HAPPENED BUT VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE AND WENT INTO A POLE IN PARKING LOT. REPAIR TO BACK BUMPER AT DEALER WAS $791.59. I PAID AND JUST WENT ON. THEN I GET A RECALL NOTICE SAYING THIS COULD HAPPEN, DRIVER ERROR. NOW I GET A RECALL SAYING IT IS SOMETHING THEY ARE GOING TO REPAIR IN VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FIAT CHYSLER TO DISCUSS BEING REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR AND THEY ARE SAYING THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. I WAS AT A DR APPOINTMENT AT THE HOSPITAL PARKING LOT WHEN THIS OCCURED, VEHICLE WENT INTO A CEMENT POLE. I DO HAVE COPIES OF REPAIRS, JUST CAN DOWNLOAD THEM.

THE CONTACT RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE, APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND SHIFTED INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V240000 (POWER TRAIN). THE DEALER SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED UNDER THE RECALL; HOWEVER, AFTER THE CONTACT ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE REMEDY WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS TOLD THAT THE CHRYSLER 300, 2014, WAS UNDER RECALL, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, I ASSUME, SINCE THE CAR WAS UNDER A LEASE AGREEMENT. THE PROBLEM I EXPERIENCED ONE DAY WAS THE THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. DURING THE TOWING, THE CAR WAS DAMAGED IN THE FRONT END AND NOW RATTLES ON THE LEFT FRONT WHEN THE CAR HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED AND THE DAMAGE REPAIRED SINCE THE DAMAGE AFFECTS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR. IN ADDITION, THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM CAUSED THE CAR TO BE SCRATCHED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND COST ME A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AND MONEY. PLEASE CONTACT ME SO THESE PROBLEMS MAY BE RESOLVED BY THE DEALER THAT HANDLED THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS HAYES CHRYSLER.

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY POOR BOTH DOWN ROAD AND TO SIDE EVEN WITH TOWN STREET LIGHT DIRECTLY OVERHEAD I ALMOST HIT MY NEIGHBOR RIDING HIS BICYCLE AS I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE. DEALER SAYS NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO IMPROVE VISION. EVEN ON HIGH BEAM, NEVER GET RESPONSE FROM OTHER DRIVERS THAT LIGHTS ARE TOO BRIGHT. RURAL ROAD DRIVING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AT NIGHT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK IT COMES OUT ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN I HAVE IT IN REVERSE PUT IT IN DRIVE IT GOES BACK INTO REVERSE AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK, ALSO THE OTHER DAY I PLACED IT IN PARK GOT OUT OF MY CAR WHILE WIFE WAS IN IT IT WHEN INTO REVERSE AND ALMOST RAN ME OVER AND HET ANOTHER CAR, THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE.
