2006 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

THE PASSENGER SEATBELT INDICATOR LIGHT FAILS TO EXTINGUISH IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED WITH THE BELT IS SECURELY CLICKED. IF I WIGGLE THE LATCH, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OUT, BUT I WONDER WHAT EFFECT THIS HAS ON THE PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM IF THE BELT IS INDICATED AS UNFASTENED. IT SEEMS THE SEATBELTS SHOULD BE WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING NECESSARY TO PROTECT PASSENGERS SHOULD HAVE NO TOLERANCE FOR ERRATIC OPERATION.

I NOTICE MY LIGHTS BLINKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHEN I WAS BEHIND A BIG TRUCK. SINCE THEN IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN ALMOST EVERYTIME I START THE CAR AND TENDS TO GO AWAY AFTER 30 MINUTES OF RUNNING. AT NIGHT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK AND SOMETIMES GO COMPLETELY OFF.. WHEN I TURN THEM OFF THEY COME BACK ON..THEN GO OUT AGAIN I TURN THE SWITCH AND THEY COME BACK ON.. SOMETIMES THE DASH LIGHTS ALSO GO COMPLETELY OUT AND OTHER TIMES THEY GO FROM DIM TO BRIGHT AND BACK TO DIM.

DRIVING WEST ON RT 20 IN GRANBY CT, PASSING THROUGH INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGHT, WAS STRUCK HEAD-ON BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, BOTH CARS WERE TOTALED & TOWED AWAY. ON THE OTHER DRIVERS' CAR, ALL OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THERE WERE NO INJURIES, WHILE ON OUR CHRYSLER 300, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, CAUSING INJURY TO LEFT ELBOW & RIGHT SHOULDER. LACK OF AIR BAGS DEPLOYMENT MAY HAVE BEEN A GOOD THING SINCE WE SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVERS' AIR BAG INFLATOR/DETONATOR DEFECTS CAUSING SEVERE INJURIES & DEATHS.

I FIRST NOTICED SURGING AT IDLE WHEN IN GEAR, THIS GREW INTO STALLING DURING STOPS AND NOW IS STALLING/STUMBLING WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY STALL WHILE MOVING AND HAD HIGH POTENTIAL FOR DANGER. I HAVE NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO ENGINE CODES. THIS CAR IS AN SRT8 AND DRIVEN VERY SELDOM, ESPECIALLY NOW. IT'S ACTUALLY PARKED NOW DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE MAINTENANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN METICULOUS AND MECHANICS HAVE COME UP DRY WITH TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
