2013 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

I OWN A 2013 CHRYSLER 300 S. I NOTICED THAT MY BATTERY SAFE MODE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES ON THE HIGHWAY I WENT TO TURN OUT OF A TURNING LANE AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STATED MOVING WITHOUT PROMPTING AND LIGHTS IN MY CAR STARTED FLASHING, THE RADIO WENT DEAD AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO STEER, HONK THE HORN OR MOVE, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GET HIT BY TWO CARS BEFORE I COULD REACH A SAFE PLACE. THE CAR DID NOT RESTART. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER TO THE CAR. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY ALTERNATOR IS DEAD AND THAT IT ALSO KILLED MY BATTERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS, AIR BAG, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

IN YEAR 2013 BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CHRYSLER 300C 2013 ZERO MILE FOR $45,000, I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER SERVICE CENTER ON DAYTONA BEACH FOR OIL CHANGE AND I GOT TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES. I ASK THEM HOW CAN A 15,000 MILES CAR WILL NEED NEW TIRES AND THEY TOLD ME FIRESTONE DON'T GIVE ANY KIND WARRANTY TO THE TIRES THE SELL TO CHRYSLER MANUFACTURE FOR BRAND NEW CAR AND THOSE WAS LESS QUALITY TO THE TIRES THEY SELL ON THE TIRES CENTERS. WE CALLED THE FIRESTONE AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING NO WARRANTY ON THOSE NEW TIRES BECAUSE THE TIRES THEY SELL TO CAR'S MANUFACTURE ARE LESS QUALITY.AND IF I BUY THE FIRESTONE TIRES FROM ANY TIRE CENTER I WILL GET 50,000 MILES WARRANTY. NOW I HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES BUT FOR SURE WILL NOT BE FIRESTONE AND PAY FOR ON MY NEW CAR WITH 15,000 MILES ONLY, YES I NEVER SAW NEW TIRES LAST 15,000 MILES ONLY. THAT IS WHY I WANT TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND TIRES CHRYSLER IS BUYING FOR NEW CAR WITH LESS QUALITY WHAT SHOULD HAVE, CHRYSLER AND FIRESTONE ARE SAVING MONEY GIVING TO THE CONSUMER LESS QUALITY OF TIRES WHAT CAN BE DANGER BECAUSE FOR A TIRE ONLY LAST 15,000 HAVE TO BE REALLY BAD QUALITY MATERIAL HEY ARE USING.. I'M SURE THOSE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE FOR NO ONE. THANK YOU

WHILE DRIVING USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR SEEMS TO HESITATE FOR A SECOND, DROP INTO A LOWER GEAR AND THE TOP SPEED IS LIMITED - THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS GO ON. A MESSAGE ALSO APPEARS SAYING "FCW OFF", AND THE ACC WILL NOT WORK. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING REMOVES ALL INDICATIONS OF THE PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WHICH GOES OFF EVENTUALLY. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A DEALER WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LIGHT WENT OUT WHILE TESTING, OTHER TIME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, BUT UPDATED SOFTWARE AND REPLACED A SWITCH. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON LONG TRIPS AND MUCH TO MY PERSONNEL CONCERNS WHEN I'M IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR CONKS OUT.

THE ABS AND TRANSACTION LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED A LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID BRING IN FOR SERVICE. THREE MILES UP THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SUFFERED A TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK OR ANY GEAR. THE TOWING COMPANY HAD PROBLEMS FLAT BEDDING THE CAR TO MY DEALER ROUTE 18 CHRYSLER IN EAST BRUNSWICK NJ. UPON REPAIR THE DEALER INDICATED THAT LEFT DRIVER SIDE ABS SYSTEM FAILED. THE ONBOARD COMPUTERS STORED DTTC CODES BOTH FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND ABS SYSTEMS. NO ONE KNOWS WHY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ALLOW THE CAR TO BE DRIVEN. THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY FLAW IN THIS VEHICLE THAT IS GOING TO RESULT IN A FATAL CRASH. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM BY ME. UPDATED 9/25/15 *LN UPDATED 12/28/2015*JS
