TAKATA RECALL, FCA IS STALLING ON REPAIRS FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG. AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE IN MAY 2016, I CONTACTED FCA SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY AIRBAG REPAIRED, EACH TIME I AM TOLD PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. ON MY LAST CALL OCT.17, 2016 I WAS TOLD NO REPAIRS UNTIL SOMETIME IN 2017. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. *TR

MY TURN SIGNALS AT FIRST WERE NOT CANCELING, AND THEN STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. HOWEVER, THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND FLASHES CONTINUOUSLY. ALSO, AFTER DRIVING FOR ONE MILE AN ALERT SIGNAL STARTS DINGING CONTINUOUSLY TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOUR SIGNAL IS STILL ON AND IT NEVER GOES OFF. I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE MY TURN SIGNAL BULBS COMPLETELY SO THEY WOULD NOT CONTINUOUSLY FLASH ON THE OUTSIDE. THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE ANY USE OF MY TURN SIGNALS, AND EVEN THOUGH I USE HAND SIGNALS PEOPLE JUST AREN'T LOOKING FOR THAT . I HAVE EVEN BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE FOR FAILING TO USE MY TURN SIGNAL EVEN THOUGH I WAS USING MY HAND SIGNAL. ALSO, IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION I HAVE NO USE OF MY HAZARD LIGHTS(FLASHERS). I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS CONCERNING CHRYSLER 300'S AND I FOUND THOUSANDS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE OR IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF THE SIGNALS FAILING TO CANCEL. *TR

FRONT SUSPENSION HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS WITH OEM PARTS, WHICH FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE SECOND REPAIR WE USED MOOG HIGH PERFORMANCE PARTS.

DROPPED INTAKE VALVE SEATS ON THIS HEMI ENGINE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE HEMI ENGINES FROM THIS TIME PERIOD. STOPPED AT THE STORE FOR 20 MINUTES, CAME OUT AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AND ALL I HEARD WAS METAL ON METAL AS THE ENGINE TRIED TO TURN OVER. ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR NEED TO BUY ANOTHER REBUILT ENGINE.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER-NOTIFICATION CODE K39. THERE IS A RECALL LETTER THAT CHRYSLER IS CIRCULATING ABOUT "TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER" DESCRIBING THE ISSUE OF A BROKEN SPRING HOOK IN THE SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY AND IF IT BREAKS, IT WOULD PREVENT THE DRIVER TO SHIFT THE CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE. MY CAR IS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C AND SUFFERED FROM THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND CHRYSLER'S GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER 1-800-853-1403 AND THEY BOTH SAID THAT MY CAR BECAUSE ITS A CANADIAN MODEL, DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL.

WHILE BACKING UP AND TURNING OUT OF DRIVE WAY, FEELS HESITATION AND NOISE COMING FROM REAR AXLE.

CAR DIES AFTER FUELING. IT WILL SPUTTER THEN DIE, IT WILL ALSO DIE WHILE COMING TO A STOP. AFTER REFUELING IT SPUTTERS AND DIES AT GAS STATION BUT IT CAN HAPPEN WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MILES. IT WILL DIE WHILE PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. READING ON LINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. IT ALSO WILL NOT ALWAYS GO BACK INTO GEAR AFTER IT DIES.
