2013 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

NO APPARENT DRIVING PROBLEM. MESSAGE CAME ON DASH "BATTERY SAVER MODE". COMMENTS ON INTERNET ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THIS ISSUE MAY INDICATE ALTERNATOR TO FAIL AND CAR ENGINE CUTS OUT UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO ME YET BUT I AM CONCERNED AND WILL CONTACT CHRYSLER AS SOON AS HOLIDAY IS OVER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THE POWER STEERING SEIZED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE FOR THE POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000. UPDATED 12/18/14*CN UPDATED 9/25/15 *JS

WAS DRIVING CAR ABOUT 25MPH AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF. I THOUGHT THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF. THE WHEEL WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER PULLED UP TO STOP SIGH TO CHECK IF CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. IT WAS WHEN I PULLED AWAY THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN. A FEW DAYS LATER MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH AND IT HAPPENED TO HER. SHE WAS GOING AROUND A CORNER, LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS SHE HAD TO SWING INTO OTHER LANE AND APPLY BRAKES. VERY VERY SCARED. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHERE IT IS STILL. THEY CAN SEE VIA THERE COMPUTER THAT IT HAPPENED, BUT CAN'T FIX IT. I TALKED TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID BASICALLY SINCE THEY CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE THERE ISN'T ONE. EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN SEE THAT IT HAPPENED. WAS TOLD TO REFER TO MY WHITE AND BLUE BOOK THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. I ASKED WHAT HAPPENS IF I KILL SOMEBODY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. AGAIN REFER TO YOUR BOOK. *TR

WHEN BRAKES ARE HEATED STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, HAD THEM PULLED OFF AND THE CALIPERS ARE STAYING OUT . *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH SEAT WARMERS ON MESSAGE APPEARED ON CENTER LCD STATING BATTERY SAVER MODE. *TR

THE BRAKE WOULD NOT PRESS DOWN TO START VEHICLE, IT FELT AS IF THERE WAS A MASS AMOUNT OF AIR PRESSURE LOCKING THE BRAKE SO THE CAR COULD NOT BE STARTED. THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED RANDOMLY. *TR

ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ACCELERATE FROM 60MPH, TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE'S SPEED BEING REDUCED TO A CRAWL CAUSING POTENTIAL HARM FROM APPROACHING VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESUME SPEED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS EVEN WHILE THE ACCELERATOR WAS BEING DEPRESSED. THERE WERE SEVERAL CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH APPROACHING TRAFFIC UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESUME SPEED. THIS OCCURRED FOLLOWING A VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DESCRIBE PRIOR INCIDENTS. THE DEALER "UPDATED" THE COMPUTER BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO GIVE A REASON FOR THE OCCURRENCE OR VERIFY IF THE CONDITION WAS CORRECTED.... OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT. WHERE DOES ONE GO FROM HERE OTHER THAN TO REPORT IT ON THIS SITE? *TR

THERE WAS NO WAY TO RESUME SPEED UNTIL SEVERAL SECONDS PASSED AND A SLOW ACCELERATION WAS THEN POSSIBLE. *TR
