2013 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER 300C FEW YEARS AGO. WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL FOR ALTERNATOR BY MAIL. THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE ALTERNATOR GOES OUT FEW MONTHS LATER CAUSING CAR TO BLINK ALL SENSORS AND POWER GOES AWAY. TOOK IT IN STILL NO RECALL PART AVAILABLE. DEALERSHIP PUTS IN SAME ALTERNATOR TO GET ME BY. MONTHS LATER SAME ISSUE OCCURS. THEY REPLACE AGAIN WITH RECALL PART. CAR STILL BLINKING N NOW STUCK IN FIRST GEAR SOMETHING IT WASN'T DOING WHEN BROUGHT IN. I BELIEVE THE ALTERNATOR IS THE CAUSE OF OTHER COMPONENTS FALING..NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR THOSE PARTS. I'M FURIOUS BECAUSE CAR IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE . I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AND FIXED AT NO CHARGE UNDER RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM I AVOIDED DUE TO UNAVAILABLE RECALL PARTS

THE LEATHER WRAP ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS STARTED TO DELAMINATE ON BOTH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVERS SIDE, DESPITE BEING GARAGED FROM NEW SO IT HAS NOT SAT OUT IN THE SUN. AS FAR AS I CAN JUDGE, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE DELAMINATION EXTENDS DOWN TO THE UPPER PART OF THE PAB. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY AFFECT THE PAB DEPLOYMENT SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR. IF I SOMEHOW MANAGE TO RE-GLUE THE LEATHER COVERING, WILL THAT AFFECT PAB DEPLOYMENT.

I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE AND AFTER FEW MINUTES THE CAR SHOWS BATTERY MODE ON THE SCREEN. RIGHT AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE SMELLS WITH A STRONG BURN FUME FROM THE ENGINE. THEN THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND WENT DEAD NO ELECTRICAL POWER AT ALL. THANKS GOD I WAS PARKED WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED. NO ONE WAS ABLE TO JUMP THE CAR WITH ANOTHER BATTERY TO GET IT STARTED.

TRUNK RANDOMLY POPS OPEN WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY AND WHEN IN MOTION. CAN HEAR A CLICKING SOUND

AT 7:30 PM ON THE FDR DRIVE APPROACHING EXIT 17 AT ABOUT 45 MPH. MY CHRYSLER 300 WENT COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. NO WARNING THE CAR JUST CAME TO ABRUPT STOP SLIDING FOR ABOUT 10 FEET BEFORE FULLY STOPPING. THE ENGINE WENT DEAD THE LIGHT WENT OFF I COULDN'T STEER NOTHING ON THE CAR WORKS, NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE. THANK GOD IT WAS STILL BRIGHT OUT SO I CAN AND OTHER DRIVER WAS ABLE TO SEE ME TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR OTHERWISE WE COULD OF BEEN DEAD OR A VERY NASTY ACCIDENT. THE NYPD CAME ASK WHAT HAPPEN THEY SAID IT'S THE ALTERNATOR I USED A JUMPER I HAD IN THE BACK TO JUMP IT IT STARTED I EXIT THE HIGHWAY IT STOP DEAD AGAIN NO WARNING ON 125 ST. THE OFFICERS ACTIVATED THE SHIFT LOCK AND HELP ME PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHERE I PAID $217 TO HAVE IT TOWED TO BROOKLYN. CALLED STAR CHRYSLER SUNDAY EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPEN THEY SAID THEIR SERVICE DEPT CLOSED SUNDAY. CALLED BACK 7 AM MONDAY, THEY WON'T EVEN COME TOW OR SEND A TOW TRUCK. MISS TERRY TELLING ME IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THEM. I PAID ANOTHER $190 TO TOW THE CAR FROM BROOKLYN TO QUEENS VILLAGE NY. GOT THERE THEY INSIST I LEAVE THE CAR AND GO HOME DON'T EVEN WANT TO SAY WHY THE CAR ALMOST KILLED ME AND MY KIDS. TUESDAY 7 AM I CALLED FOR AN UPDATE MISS TERRY SAID WE DIDN'T GET TO LOOK AT IT YESTERDAY WE'LL TRY TO GET IT IN TODAY, IS SHE KIDDING ME. THAT SO IRRESPONSIBLY

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 17V-435. FOR THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE THIS SERVICE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS HAVE NOT SHIPPED YET. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE DOCUMENTED PHONE CALLS TO THE RECALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE HANDLING THE RECALL FOR ME AND FAILED TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN DELAYING THE RECALL PARTS SO THAT THE VEHICLE WARRANTIES RUN OUT. ON 4/11/2018 AT 1 PM CHRYSLER ALTERNATOR STARTED SMOKING. ALL THE UNITS IN THE CARS WERE FRIED. WOULD NOT SHUT OFF I HAD NO CONTROL OF ANYTHING. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPEN AND GETTING LITTLE HELP FROM CHRYSLER.
