2015 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

MY 300 HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON VERY SCARY HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC NO WARNING NO ENGINE LIGHT NOTHING THEN MESSAGE ON DASH SAYS PUT IN PARK TO START AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP

MY CAR IS TRAMLINING. IN OTHER WORDS, MY CAR HAS THE TENDENCY TO FOLLOW IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD AND ENDS UP YANKING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS WHENEVER THE FRONT TIRES FIND A RUT IN THE ROAD. THIS HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO DANGEROUSLY PULL TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ALSO, MY RADIO PRESET BUTTONS ON ENTERTAINMENT CENTER SOMETIMES DON'T FUNCTION WHEN INITIALLY STARTING MY CAR LEADING TO THE INABILITY TO CHANGE RADIO STATIONS. THE BUTTONS FOR MY HEATED SEATS AND HEATED STEERING WHEEL ON MY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER START-UP SCREEN SOMETIMES WILL NOT REMAIN ON AFTER ACTIVATING THEM, WHICH RESULTS IN HAVING TO REACTIVATE THEM THROUGH THE SECONDARY ACCESS MENU AFTER THE INITIAL START-UP SCREEN DISAPPEARS AND THE MAIN MENU APPEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. *DT*JB

DRIVER'S SIDE DOESN'T BLOW HOT AIR WHEN DEFROSTER IS ON OR AIR IS ON. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO FIX IT 2 TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED DOWN AND ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN AND THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. IT DID AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO STOP ACCELERATING AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE BUT THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT SHUT OFF. I NOW HAVE THE CAR IN THE SHOP BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES LIKE IT ERASED ITSELF FROM THE MEMORY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, LOST POWER, AND RESTARTED WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RIVERSIDE AUTO SALES OF MARINETTE AND MENOMINEE INC (715-735-3361, LOCATED AT 4030 HALL AVE, MARINETTE, WI 54143) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,085.

ABOUT EVERY 2,000-3,000 MILES I HAVE A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR GO OUT, I TOO HAVE FACED SHORTAGES DUE TO A REOCCURRING ONGOING PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. WHEN A SENSOR GOES OUT SEVERAL FEATURES DISABLE SUCH AS CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, AND TRACTION CONTROL.

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 300S HAS A DIAL GEAR SHIFT THAT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. I RESIDE IN ND AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE FRIGID WEATHER. THE CARS DIAL SHIFT WAS STUCK AND II HAD MY TWO CHILDREN WITH ME IN THE COLD -40 TEMP AND -30 WINDCHILL. I HAD TO WALK TO GET HELP AND LEAVE MY KIDS IN VEHICLE. AFTER BEING STUCK FOR 4 HRS, I TRIED IT AGAIN AND THE SHIFT WENT INTO GEAR. IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL OCT 20TH AT 10:38 AM. THE WEATHER WAS NICE BUT THE SHIFT ONCE AGAIN LEFT MY KIDS AND I STRANDED AFTER PARKING AT A THRIFT STORE. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND 1 HR THE GEAR WORKED AGAIN. I'M A WIDOW WITH 2 UNDER AGE KIDS AND NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND THIS IS NOT IT. THE RADIO CHANGES STATIONS WHEN IT WANTS, AND THE HEATED SEATS AND HEAT WORK WHEN USED. THE HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WORKS WHEN IT FEELS BUT THE AIR DOES BLOW. THERE IS JUST NO HEAT!! FOR NORTH DAKOTA THAT'S NOT GOOD !! MY CAR IS CHRISTINE OR YOU BUILT A DANGEROUS UNSAFE CAR !! NOW, I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE DIAL SHIFT WILL COST ME $400, THE SEATS $300, AND THE ELECTRIC PROBLEMS ARE STARTING AT $500 PER BISMARCK REPAIR SHOPS, INCLUDING CHRYSLER!! I AM TAKING MY CAR TO EIDE CHRYSLER OCTOBER 27TH AT 9 AM AND WILL HAVE TO PAY LABOR COSTS WITH WHATEVER EXTRA THEY CHARGE BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT PPOR AND UNSAFE!! THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OFF BOTH TIMES. WHEN GETTING IN TO START IT , THE SHIFT WOULD NOT WORK. THE FIRST TIME WAS VERY COLD, THE SECOND WAS A NICE DAY. THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON FOR THESE EXPERIENCES.

DROVE CAR TO TOWN THURSDAY 10/11/18 EVERYTHING WAS FINE GET IN CAR FRIDAY MORNING 10/12/18 START CAR WARNING COMES UP ON DISPLAY ECS ABS AWD DISABLED, I DO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE TILL FRIDAY 10/18/18 TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY CHARGED $89 TO RUN SCAN TOOL TO FIND OUT FRONT LEFT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR IS FAULTY WOULD BE $240 TO REPLACE SENSOR, WHICH CONSISTS OF 3 BOLTS AND BEING PLUGGED IN, AND CODE CLEARED . THIS IS NOT A 3 HOUR JOB. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO WHEEL SPEED SENSORS AVAILABLE AND ARE ON INDEFINITE BACK ORDER DUE TO AN UNBELIEVABLY HIGH DEMAND. CAN NOT DRIVE CAR SAFELY DUE TO THE CAR BEING CRIPPLED BECAUSE OF A $29 SENSOR. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AND HAVE DRIVEN LESS THAN 5000 MILES, THE SENSOR LITERALLY WENT BAD IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE MECHANICS NEW IT IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM AND ARE CHARGING PEOPLE WAY OVER WHAT SHOULD BE FOR WHAT IS AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART. THEY ALSO TOLD ME IS WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY CAN GET THE PART WHICH IS UNTRUE DUE TO 2 SAFETY MODUALS AND ONE DRIVE TRAIN FUNCTION BEING DISABLED. THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ON AN INDEFINITE BACKORDER FROM THE FACTORY TELLS THIS IS A MODEL WIDE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I NOTICED ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WASN'T WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING & PARKED. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TURNED ON MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ALL OF THE LIGHTS FAILED, INCLUDING THE REAR LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENED AFTER DARK WHILE DRIVING SO I'M LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT! FROM THEN ON THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. TO GET ANY LIGHTS TO COME ON I HAD TO TURN THE KNOB AND RANDOM LIGHTS WOULD WORK. THE NEXT DAY, ONLY THE FOG LIGHTS WORKED WITH NO REAR LIGHTS OTHER THAN WHEN BRAKING. 2 DAYS LATER, ALL THE LIGHTS WORK EXCEPT THE 2 HEADLIGHTS! CRAZIEST THING EVER!
