2005 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

TAKATA RECALL S43 - PASSENGER AIRBAG IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THIS RECALL HAS BEEN KNOWN. YET PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS FIX. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE DEATH. IS THERE EVEN A TIME TABLE AS TO WHEN THESE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE? THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED SOON.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, CALLED THE DEALER AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THEM TO RECEIVE THE PART AFFECTED IN THE RECALL. AS OF TODAY, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART. I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS FOR AROUND FIVE MONTHS NOW. WHAT IS THE HOLD UP? WHAT IS THIS AGENCY DOING ABOUT THIS ISSUE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

NORMAL DAY DRIVING MY VEHICLE. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 24 MILES TO A SHOPPING CENTER IN THE CITY. TURNED THE IGNITION CAR STARTED AS EXPECTED. CAR THEN DIED UNEXPECTEDLY. ATTEMPTED TO GET IT STARTED TO NO AVAIL. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A TRUSTED ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC A COUPLE MILES AWAY. GET A CALL LATER STATING THE ENGINE IS DAMAGED! MECHANIC STATED THAT THESE CARS ARE WELL KNOWN FOR DROPPING VALVES. I PROCEED TO ASK WHAT'S THE DAMAGE? THESE WORDS I WOULD LEARN TO REGRET... I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $4000-$7000 DEPENDING ON HOW MANY PARTS WERE AFFECTED BY THIS ONE FAILED PIECE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN FORUMS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ALSO. HOW IS IT A COMPANY DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE A MAJOR PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND GET AWAY WITH IT? I WAS FORCED TO GET A $6000 LOAN TO FIX A CAR WITH 101K... YEA 1,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY! CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TAKATA RECALL THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN LISTED SINCE 2014 AND THERE HAS BEEN NO DEFINITE FIX HERE. MY VEHICLE IN PARTICULAR HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY CHIMING WITH A VISIBLE WARNING LIGHT SINCE NOVEMBER 2015! THIS IS VERY UNSAFE! I AM EXTREMELY AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE! MARCH OF 2017 IS THE BEST CHANCE THEY SAY WE COULD RECEIVE A FIX! I CANNOT EVEN TRADE THE CAR OFF AS THIS IS A HUGE LOSS IN VALUE. I BELIEVE SOME TYPE OF REPERCUSSION SHOULD BE TAKEN AGAINST THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS AS WELL AS THE INFLATOR MANUFACTURER. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, THIS HAPPENS WHILE LEAVING FILLING STATION AND PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL , SO I TAKE CARE OF MY CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 VERY WELL I ALWAYS CHECK THE FLUIDS ON THE COOLENT AND OIL AND CHANGE MY OIL WHEN ITS NEEDED. I WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE FREEWAY BARELY MAKING IT TO THE GAS STATION AND I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK, WHEN I TRIED TO STARTING MY CAR IT DIDNT START. MY CAR JUST HESITATED AND I THOUGHT MY BATTERY WAS GOING OUT BUT IT WAS A BRAND NEW ONE AND MY FUEL PUMP WAS CHANGED A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. ALSO I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED A WEEK PRIOR TOO AT MY LOCAL PEPBOYS AND CHANGED THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AT LEAST THATS WHAT THEY TOLD ME WHAT IT WAS. SO MY CAR STARTED IN THE GAS STATION PARKINGLOT AND WHITE SMOKE CAME OUT OF MY EXHAUST AND MY CAR JUST TURNED OFF ON ME. MY CAR IS SITTING NOW COLLECTING DUST BECAUSE IT DROPPED A VALVE DUE TO THE 2005 5.7 HEMI DESIGN. I BELIEVE DODGE AND CHRYSLER KNOW ABOUT THIS MALFUNCTION THATS BOND TO HAPPEN WHETHER YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR ENGINE OR NOT. I DESERVE TO HAVE A RECALL ON MY CAR , IM ALMOST DONE PAYING IT OFF AND ITS NOT MY FAULT THIS HAPPENED TO ME.
