2013 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND CAR STARTED TO SHAKE THEN I PULLED OVER OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT IT OFF AND MY CAR NEVER STARTED BACK UP AGAIN

CHECK ENGINE LIIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE SAYS GAS LID NOT SEALING. TO OPEN AND SHUT AGAIN IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THE GAS SEALER NEEDS REPAIRED.

C.E.L CAME ON WHEN CAR WAS TURNED ON AND WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE ESIM WAS BAD. COST ME $640.00 TO REPLACE THIS MODULE. ON A CAR THAT HAS LOW MILEAGE AND ISN'T THAT OLD I WOULD THINK THAT THIS REPAIR IS NOT NORMAL. I WAS TOLD HAD THIS NOT BEEN REPAIRED THE THE FUMES WOULD HAVE BUILT UP AND IF I WAS REAR ENDED THEN THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN EXPLOSION.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD AND CRASHED INTO SOME TREES. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES OF THE VEHICLE WERE MANGLED AND THE REAR AXLE WAS TWISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE, WHO WAS DRIVING, WAS INJURED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SALVAGE YARD. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

ON MORE THAN 20 OCCASIONS, WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY 'SHUTS OFF'. EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY OFF. ENGINE, POWERTRAIN, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. SOMETIMES THERE'S A WARNING LIGHT THAT FLASHES AFTER THE SHUT DOWN THAT LOOKS LIKE A REDDISH ORANGE SIDEWAYS Z LIGHTING BOLT. THE CHECK ENGINE GOES ON SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. WHEN IT GOES ON IT SOMETIMES STAYS ON AND SOMETIMES IT DISAPPEARS. I'VE HAD 2 CHRYSLER DEALERS AND 1 INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND NO ONE CAN PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. SO FAR, I'VE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, HANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PAN, AND HAD THE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED. I'M BEING TOLD THAT 'MAYBE' IT'S THE FUEL PUMP OR THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THE [XXX] HAS ONLY OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO FAR. THANKFULLY, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER EVERY TIME. THAT MAY BECAUSE I AVOID ROADS WITH NO SHOULDERS AND ONLY DRIVE IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HAS RENDERED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING. I'VE DISCOVERED A CURRENT CHRYSLER RECALL, U87 THAT APPEARS TO BE EXACTLY MY SYMPTOMS, BUT MY CHRYSLER DEALER COULD NOT FIND A CODE THAT PROVED IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT LOCK WHEN YOU PUT IT ON. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING.

DRIVING IN TOWN APPRX. 35 MPH CHECK BATTERY NOTIFICATION APPEARED ON DASH FOR THE FIRST TIME WITHIN 5 MINUTES THE LIGHTS DIMMED ALL DASH LIGHTS BEGAN TO BLINK MESSAGE ON DASH SAID POWER SAVING MODE AND CAR SHUT OFF ABOUT 4 MINUTES LATER

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DRIVER DASH KEEPS COMING ON AND DINGING INDICATING SOMETHING NOT WORKING PROPERLY. CHRYSLER DEALER DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX. WENT TO OTHER AUTO REPAIR TO GET FIXED. THEY REPLACED DRIVER SEATBELT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR $551. IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. HAPPENED A YEAR EARLIER ALSO AND SEPARATE AUTO REPAIR ADJUSTED IT BUT THIS TIME THEY REPLACED IT TO BE SAFE.
