THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER REPAIR AGAIN. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/16/15 BECAUSE THE AIR CONDITION WOULD COOL FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND STOP. THEN AFTER ABOUT 20 MINS LATER IT WOULD START COOLING AGAIN. THE DIAGNOSED WAS THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND FRONT CONTROL MODULE. MY TOTAL PARTS COST WAS $889.00. MY TOTAL COST WITH LABOR AND OUT THE DOOR COST WAS $1440.81. MY CAR STAY IN THE SHOP UNTIL YESTERDAY 5/26/15 FOR THEM TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. I DRIVE IT TO THE CAR WASH AND HOME. THIS MORNING 5/27/15 I DROVE IT APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES AND IT STOPPED ACCELERATION. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE LAST PROBLEM I HAD, I STARTED READING ALL THE OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR. I WAS AMAZED BECAUSE OTHER THEN MY RADIATOR AND FAN EXPLOSIONS I HADN'T EXPERIENCE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I'M FINDING THAT, AS I READ COMPLAINTS REPORTED HERE THEY ARE SLOW HAPPENING TO ME. MY FATHER USE TO SAY TO ME BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY "STAND FOR SOMETHING OR FALL FOR EVERYTHING" . IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING WE AS CONSUMER COULD DO ABOUT THIS. CLEARLY THERE ARE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THESE CARS. I SPENT HOURS COMPILING A LIST OF COMPLAINTS YOU ALL REPORTED AND I PLAN TO WRITE LETTERS TO EVERYONE THAT SUPPOSE TO PROTECT US FROM THIS AND COULD MAKE A DIFFERENT FOR US. THIS IS NOT OK! I'M GOING TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA AS MUCH AS I CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT TO OTHERS CONSUMERS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS AND SETUP A WEB SITE FOR EVERYONE TO USE. THIS IS NOT OK! CONSUMERS BUY THESE VEHICLE TRUSTING THAT THE MANUFACTURERS AND CAR DEALER ARE SELLING THEM A PRODUCT THAT WILL SERVE THEIR NEEDS WELL AND A PRODUCT THAT WILL LAST THEM A VERY LONG TIME NOT A PRODUCT THAT WILL NEED REWIRING IS 8 YEARS, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! THESE CARS ARE RESOLD TO OTHER CONSUMER ALSO! *TR

I SAW THIS IS A RECALL ON THE 300 MODELS FROM 05-UP TO 08 I THINK. I CALLED CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER TO BE TOLD THAT YES MY CAR IS IN THE RIGHT YEAR FRAME BUT IT IS UNCOVERED DUE TO IT IS NOT A MOPAR PART OR BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN SEP 2006. SO I AM A BIT UPSET AT THIS BECAUSE THE EXACT THING THAT IS ON A RECALL HAPPENED TO MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300 BUT IS UNCOVERED.
