IT HAD SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER AND WOULD GET UP AND GO. IT'S REAL SLOW FROM THE START AND IT DANGEROUS DRIVING IT BECAUSE IT WILL JUST REV UP AND NOT MOVE THEN JUMP INTO GEAR VERY HARD. IT HAS ALMOST THROWN MY CAR INTO THE BACK OF OTHER CARS BECAUSE IT JUMPS SO BAD I TO GEAR ALL OF A SUDDEN. THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER CAR COMING G IT SOMETIMES BARELY MOVES AND IT VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAS BEEN STUCK IN 2ND GEAR EVER SINCE. IT HAD A LOT OF LOSS OF POWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH DURING RAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS, ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN THE STOP SIGN AND CRASHED HEAD ON INTO THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE DRIVER THEN TO CRASH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE INTO A TREE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT CAUSING THE DRIVER TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO A FUEL STATION WHERE IT CURRENTLY REMAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 233,500.

I WAS DRIVING AND CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE ACCELERATION. CAR THEN COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT A CAUSE. CAR WAS TOWED BY A TOW DRIVER I KNOW AND CAR HASN'T STARTED EVER SINCE. CAME TO REALIZE IT'S SHOWING CODES P0513 FOR THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM. I THEN BEGAN TO READ MORE ABOUT IT AND IT'S A MANUFACTURERS ERROR. IT'S A COMMON THING FOR DODGE AND CHRYSLER'S FROM 2005 TO 2010 TO SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON DUE TO ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM.

TAKATA RECALL.. THE SUNROOF AND BOTH FRONT WINDOWS DO NOT WORK AND ARE STUCK CLOSED AND IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE

THE CAR HAS ONLY 92000 MILES AND MAINTAINED GOOD. SINCE IT WAS ONLY 70000 MILES THE A.C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT INSIDE THE DASHBOARD THE EVAPORATOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY CAUSING FREON LEAK. AND OUTRAGE REPAIR OF 2000 DOLLARS WILL BE THE COST. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY CHRYSLER'S 300 2005-2010. SINCE THAT IS A MAIN ISSUE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART? IT SEEMS LIKE THAT COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OVER A 10000 CUSTOMERS AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ON THEIR PRODUCTS CHRYSLER GUARANTY THAT ISSUE LIKE THIS WOULD NOT APPEAR UNTIL VEHICLE REACH AT LEAST 100000 MILES. LIVING IN STATE OF FLORIDA THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TEMPERATURES REACH 120 F IN THE VEHICLE. OTHER ISSUES INCLUDE ARE FUEL INJECTORS AND EGR SENSOR CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING WITHOUT NO WARNING AND IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I ALWAYS SUPPORT BUYING USA VEHICLES AND WE ALL NEED TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR ECONOMY BUT IF COMPANIES DON'T STAND FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS GUARANTY AND QUALITY EVERYONE WILL PURCHASE DIFFERENT VEHICLES WITH BETTER QUALITY.
