2008 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND! TELL YOU THAT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. REASON FOR THIS CONTACT IS THAT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT CARS WITH SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS MADE BY TAKATA! I BRING THIS UP HERE BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A PLACE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO YOU WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT! I HAVE NO PERSONAL INJURY EITHER! I DO NOT WANT ONE WITH THESE TAKATA SIDE AIRBAGS EITHER! NOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I AM USING THIS SITE TO REPORT THIS POSSIBLE PROBLEM LET ME TELL YOU WHY I AM DOING THIS. AS I SAID I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300 2008 YEAR CAR THAT HAS HAD BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED BY THIS RECALL BY CHRYSLER. NICE JOB BY YOU FOR THIS! STILL WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CHRYSLER 300 NEW IT CAME WITH THE PROTECTION GROUP OPTION! THE THING THAT IS IN THIS OPTION THAT IS OF CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT IT COME WITH THE SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS! WHEN THIS CAR HAD THE TAKATA IN THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS THEN IT IS LOGICAL THAT THE FACTORY WOULD HAVE TAKATA SIDE AIRBAGS FOR THE SIDE IMPACT AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS WHEN THE CAR WAS MADE! I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND STILL THE OWNER OF THIS CAR! I DO NOT WANT ANY TAKATA AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR. NOW THAT TAKATA HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY THAT MAKE IT AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM! I DID CONTACT CHRYSLER AND THEIR DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THEY WOULD NOT HELP WITH TELLING ME IF THOSE AIRBAGS WERE MADE BY TAKATA. ON THE SECOND TIME THE DEALER WILL TAKE ONE APART TO SEE IF IT IS TAKATA BUT IT WOULD COST $384.00! ONE MORE TIME NO ACCIDENT NOW OR IN THE PAST REASON FOR THIS CONTACT THROUGH THIS IS BECAUSE I SAW NO WHERE ELSE TO DO IT. I UNDERSTOOD THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE TO HAVE TO REACH SOME NUMBER BEFORE DOING ANYTHING FOR A RECALL. THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN SHOW FALSE RESULTS. I CAN SAY THAT BECAUSE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE IN SMALLER NUMBERS THAT THOSE WITHOUT BAGS! RECALL *JS

WE DROVE THE CAR TO GEORGIA FROM MISSISSIPPI. AS WE PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AS SOMETHING WAS CRUMBLING. WE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND NOTICED COOLANT ALL OVER THE GROUND. WE CALLED A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE FAN TORE UP AND CAUSED THE BLADES TO PUNCTURE HOLES INTO THE RADIATOR. IT WAS FIXED AND AS WE BEGAN TO LEAVE WE WENT ABOUT5-10 DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR MADE A LOUD SOUND WE SHUT IT OFF INSTANTLY AND ADDED COOLANT HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. TRIED BOOSTING IT OFF AND IT STILL WON'T START. WE ARE BEING TOLD THE ENGINE SEIZED. WE HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON . CAR DROVE LIKE A PERFECT CAR. THEY DID SAY THE OIL WAS 1/2 QUART LOW. WE ARE GONNA TOW IT BACK TO MISSISSIPPI TO HAVE IT FIXED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE TRACTION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE INDICATOR TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SNETHKAMP CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (11600 TELEGRAPH RD, REDFORD CHARTER TWP, MI 48239, (313) 429-0013) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,105.

THE FLOOR SHIFTER IS HANGING IN PARK AFTER I HAVE PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN I GET BACK IN THE CAR AND START IT UP, I CAN NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM / RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH CHRYSLER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 FOR THE 2005-2007 MODELS.

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND OUT OF NO WHERE THERE WAS STEAM/SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER HOOD, THE CAR HOWEVER NEVER RAN HOT ACCORDING TO TEMPERATURE GAGE. COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON, I PARKED IT, FILLED IT WITH COOLANT AND TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER THE NEXT MORNING. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THE CAR OVERHEATED AND DAMAGED THE MOTOR, HOWEVER ACCORDING TO THE GAGE THE CAR NEVER RAN HOT.

ON 1/31/18 I TOOK MY CHRYSLER 300 IN FOR THREE RECALL (P57) (R25) AND (S43) WHEN I PICK MY CAR UP I WAS TOLD THAT RECALL P57 WAS NOT DONE DUE TO PART BEING ON BACK ORDER AND IT WOULD BE 2 OR 3 WEEKS. ON 2/1/18 I RECIVED A CALL FROM DEALERSHIP REMINDING ME OF APPOINTMENT 0N 2/2/18 TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR RECALL ISSUES P57 THAT THEY HAD PART SO I DID. AFTER PICKING MY CAR UP ON 2/2/18 I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND MADE A STOP AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY CAR IT WOULD NOT START, SO I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WHAT THEY DID WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING BUT IF I NEEDED A TOW TRUCK TO BRING THE CAR TO THEM THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT, BUT IF IT WASN'T CAUSED BY WHAT THEY DID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. MY CAR HAD NO ISSUES TILL THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE 3 RECALLS, NOW IT WONT START AND THE IGNITION MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN U TRY TO START IT AND CANT MOVE SHIFTER OUT OF PARK. ALSO NO RECALL STICKERS WERE PUT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SHOWING THAT A RECALL ISSUES WAS FIXED AND IT SHOWS ON LINE THAT THE RECALL ISSUES STILL HAS NOT BEEN DONE. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS.

FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS THE INTERIOR WINDOWS FOG UP REAL BAD WHEN IT GETS BELOW 32 DEGREES. IT IS GETTING WORSE AND VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS AFTER DRIVING A VERY SHORT DISTANCE. THE DEALER HAS CHANGED THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR AND THE HEATER CORE BUT THIS HAS NOT MADE ANY DIFFERENCE . THEY HAVE TOLD ME NOW THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE A LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON THE CAR AND I NEED TO HAVE THIS FIXED BECAUSE OF SAFETY REASONS. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM SO IT IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE. THE WINDOWS CLEAR UP AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPS FOR A WHILE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I HAVE TRIED ALL DIFFERENT HEARTER / DEFROSTER SETTINGS AND NOTHING WORKS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE BEEN NO HELP. THEY SET UP AND APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER FOR ME BUT THEY OFFERED NO HELP AT ALL. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE SOMEONE CONTACT ME BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER (GARY MATHEWS MOTORS, 1100 ASHLAND CITY RD, CLARKSVILLE, TN 37040, (931) 552-7100) WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE PARTS FROM THE MANUFACTURER WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE WHEN THE REMEDY AND REPAIR PARTS WOULD BE SUPPLIED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK WHEN CAR IS COLD AND FIRST STARTED. SECOND ATTEMPT LETS IT GET OUT OF PARK. CHRYSLER STATES THIS IS NOT PART OF RECALL K39 HOWEVER SYSTEMS ARE THE SAME. WHEN CAR IS WARM THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN.

CAR WAS RUNNING FINE WENT TO MOVE IT OUT OF SOMEONE'S WAY STARTED FINE MOVE THE CAR WENT BACK OUT AN HOUR LATER AND THE CAR WILL NOT START CRANKS BUT DOES NOT FIRE
