2008 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

While stopped at a stop light, one of the radiator cooling fans (plastic) disintegrated, severely damaging the radiator beyond repair. Engine coolant was quickly lost. We pulled off to the side of the road. We had to replace the cooling fans and radiator.

I HAVE A 2008 CHRYSLER 300 AND CHRYSLER HAS STOPPED PROVIDING UPDATES TO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IN 2018. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE NAVIGATOR PROVIDES PROMPT TO TURN ON THE ROAD WHICH NO LONGER EXIST AS WELL AS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS WHICH ARE SHOWN TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOREST OR SWAMP.

THE DEALER CHANGED THE IGNITION SWITCH PER THE RECALL 14V567000 FOR THE VEHICLE ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO FOR A DIFFERENT ISSUE WITH THE SWITCH. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT WEEK AGO JULY 30, 2020, SHE SAID SHE WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A BUSY STREET (LINCOLN HIGHWAY) IN CHICAGO HEIGHTS IL AND WHEN IT TURN GREEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO GO AND THE VEHICLE CUTOFF AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I ARRIVED TO HER LOCATION. ANOTHER DRIVER HAD PUSHED HER INTO A PARKING LOT TO GET HER OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT CATCH. IT WOULD CRANK PUT NOT TURN OVER, I HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME. AFTER SOME TESTING OF COMPONENTS, SPARK, GAS PRESSURE AND FUEL PUMP IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD IGNITION SWITCH WITH A P2533 CODE THAT STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH RUN POSITION SIGNAL. THIS IS A VERY TROUBLING EVENT SINCE MY RECENTLY TURN 18 DAUGHTER HAS NO EXPERIENCE WITH THIS SORT OF THING AND THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR PHYSICAL HARM DONE. I SPOKEN WITH A PERSON AT A CHRYLSER DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT MANUFACTURER COVERAGE BUT SHE DID NOT HAVE A CLUE AND TRANSFERRED MY CALL TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT THAT STATED IT MIGHT RUN $800- 1,000.00 TO REPLACE THE SWITCH.

A LOT OF OTHERS ON 300 FORUMS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE !! SO MANY 6.1 AND HIGHER THAT NEED THAT FUEL PUMP BUT CHRYSLER SEEMS TO KEEP SENDING ME PARTS AND TAKING MY MONEY! PLEASE HELP

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE, THINKING IT WAS GREAT. I TRIED DRIVING IT HOME, AND NEVER MADE IT. I LOST ALL POWER ON THE HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF THE SEMI. IN RETURN I DID NOT HAVE BRAKES, I DIDN'T HAVE STEERING, ALL LIGHTS TURNED OFF, AND TO TOP IT OFF IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I'VE REPLACED THE PCM, STARTER, ALTERNATOR, THE POWER DISTRIBUTION, ALL THE FUSES/RELAYS, AND HERE I AM STILL SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO TRY TO GET MY VEHICLE TO WORK AGAIN, AND IT'S NOT SEEMING POSSIBLE. I HAVE 2 KIDS AND NOW ONCE I GET IT STARTED I MUST WORRY IF IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE CAR ONLY HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT. IT'S BEEN VERY WELL KEPT. AND NOW I'VE BOUGHT ALL THESE PARTS AND PAID ALL THIS MONEY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. AND NOW I'M OUT OF MY OTHER VEHICLE, AND WITH THE CORONA VIRUS I AM OUT OF WORK, AND HAVE NO WAY TO KEEP SPENDING MONEY TO FIX IT OR FIND OUT THE PROBLEM. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT WAS ON I REPLACED THROTTLE AND SENSOR AS WELL. THAT DIDN'T FIX IT NEITHER.

CAR WILL TURN OFF WHEN DRIVING OUT OF NOWHERE AND I HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR ALL OVER AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ONE TIME AS I WAS TURNING INTO A STREET ANOTHER TIME AS I WAS SWITCHING LANES. THIS LAST TIME I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR DID IT AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED WORKING DIED. WOULDNT TURN BACK OVER. HAD TO TOW IT HOME HASNT MOVED SINCE
