2014 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEAR. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING UP TO SPECIFICATIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

I FEEL THE GEAR SELECTOR ON MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300 IS VAGUE, CONFUSING, AND DANGEROUS. IT IS ELECTRONIC AND PIVOTS INSTEAD OF MOVING ONE SPOT FOR EACH GEAR SELECTION. IF YOU PARK AND ATTEMPT TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK SOMETIMES IT MAKES IT AND SOMETIMES IT ENDS UP IN REVERSE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN YOU PUSH THE STOP BUTTON AND AS YOU STEP OUT THE CAR TAKES OFF BACKWARDS. ALSO WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE SOMETIMES IT GOES PAST DRIVE AND INTO LOW, SO I ENDED UP DRIVING FOR A TIME STUCK IN LOW GEAR AND NOT KNOWING UNTIL YOU GO TO SLOW OR STOP AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE STUCK ON SO YOU START LOOKING FOR THE REASON. I HAVE HATED THIS CAR ALMOST SINCE I LEASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2014. I FEEL WITH THE LACK OF A SWITCH KEY TO TURN THE ENGINE ON AND OFF, AND THIS VAGUE GEAR SELECTOR THIS GROUP OF VEHICLES IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE IT IN BUT I STILL HAVE 13 MONTHS LEFT AND CAN DO NOTHING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS...THANK YOU *TR ...UPDATED 03/31/17 *BF *JS

THE GEAR SHIFTER ON THIS CAR CONTINUALLY CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT SHIFT TO THE DESIRED GEAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE INTO REVERSE OR PARK. THANKFULLY, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, HOWEVER, I HAVE DAMAGED MY DAUGHTER'S BICYCLE AND MY GARAGE DOOR BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. THIS IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 300. UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN ONCE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE FAILURE COULD RECUR WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE HEADLAMPS, BOTH LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM, ARE VERY DIM. THE HIGH BEAMS DON'T ILLUMINATE ANYTHING ON THE SIDES OF THE CAR, JUST SHINE HIGHER AND STRAIGHT AHEAD ( TUNNEL VISION). I HAD THE HIGH BEAMS INSPECTED AT A STATE CERTIFIED GARAGE. THE MECHANIC SAID THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ODD, BUT WITHIN TOLERANCE. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY ON RURAL DARK ROADS, BECAUSE THE VISIBILITY IS SO TERRIBLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. DRIVING HOME AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2014, FOG CONDITIONS EXACERBATED THE PROBLEM.

AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT GIVE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS. IT IS DANGEROUS TO MAKE A TURN ONTO A DARK STREET EVEN WITH THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON.

I HAD A LOW IMPACT CRASH AFTER I APPLIED MY BRAKES AT APPROXIMATELY 2-300 FEET BEFORE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY TIRES ARE GOOD AND THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD PRIOR TO THE CRASH. I SLID APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET INTO A CAR STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY, BECAUSE OF A PRIOR ACCIDENT IN MY LANE. WHEN I BEGAN APPLYING THE BRAKES, I WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH. I TRAVELED ANOTHER 4-5 SECONDS INTO THE BACK OF A VEHICLE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR! I THINK SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONED. THE COLLISION CENTER MECHANIC WHO IS WORKING ON MY CAR, TELLS ME THAT IF THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THEN THERE WAS NO CODE THROWN TO THE EVENT DATA RECORDER. THEREFORE, HE SAYS THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO IS TEST DRIVE IT AFTERWORDS AND TRY AND DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, AND WE TRADED INSURANCE INFORMATION, I DROVE HOME, 60 MILES AND THE THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. WHY DID THEY FAIL THIS TIME?
