TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT REMAINED STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V341000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,209.

WHILE DRIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH THE SUN ROOF (WHICH WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME) SUDDENLY RIPPED COMPLETELY OFF OF THE CAR AND WENT AIRBORNE. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO RECOVER IT, AND THANKFULLY AS FAR AS WE KNOW NO ONE BEHIND US WAS INJURED. THIS EASILY COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE IN ANOTHER CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THERE WAS A TWO SECOND DELAY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 60 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,241.

AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING AT WORK FOR ABOUT 10 HOURS, I FOUND THAT I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK. THE SHIFTER WAS LOCKED UP, AND WOULD NOT MOVE INTO GEAR. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE, AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN UNDER DESIGNED PLASTIC PIECE IN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY LOCATED UNDER THE SHIFT KNOB THAT WAS KNOWN TO BREAK AND CAUSE THIS ISSUE. I HAD TO TEAR APART MY CENTER CONSOLE AND USE A SCREW DRIVER TO MANUALLY PULL ON A CABLE IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE SHIFTER AND ALLOW ME TO GET OUT OF PARK. HAD I NOT HAD THE CORRECT TOOLS IN MY VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK. I HAD THE PART REPLACED, BUT EXPERIENCED A SECOND OCCURRENCE ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER. THIS TIME I FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS STUCK IN GEAR. I WAS FREELY ABLE TO MOVE BETWEEN DRIVE, NEUTRAL, AND REVERSE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO PARK. TO ADD TO THE HEAD ACHE, BECAUSE THE TOURING EDITION HAS A SLAP STICK FUNCTION (SIMILAR TO A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR), PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR DOES NOT CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO LOCK UP. THIS FACT, COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT THE PARKING BRAKE DID NOT SUPPLY SUFFICIENT STOPPING POWER TO HOLD THE CAR AT A STANDSTILL ON EVEN A MILD GRADE SLOPE, I WAS UNABLE TO SECURE THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AWAY UNLESS ON A COMPLETELY FLAT SURFACE. I HAD TO PLACE WOOD BLOCKS UNDER THE WHEELS TO AVOID THE CAR FROM ROLLING AWAY. *TR

THE CORROSION ON THE CARS' ALLOY WHEELS IS SUCH THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO ALWAYS CARRY A MANUAL TIRE PUMP SINCE THE CORROSION ALLOWS AIR TO ESCAPE FROM THE TIRE. I HAVE CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS COMMON WITH ALLOY WHEELS WHICH ARE NOW USED TO EFFECT A WEIGHT SAVINGS. ADDITIONALLY, THE LUG NUTS HAVE A METAL (STAINLESS STEEL) PRESSED OVER THE STEEL LUG NUT TO PRESENT A MORE PLEASING APPEARANCE. UNFORTUNATELY, WATER AND ROAD SALT MIGRATE BETWEEN THE TWO METALS AND CORROSION CAUSES THE PRESSED-ON METAL TO EXPAND TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT A TIRE SHOP HAD TO HAMMER AN OVERSIZE SOCKET ON THE LUG NUT TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL FROM THE CAR. THIS MEANS THAT A MOTORIST WHO EXPERIENCED ENOUGH OF A AIR LOSS WOULD BE UNABLE TO CHANGE THE TIRE WITH THE MANUFACTURERS-PROVIDED TOOL. *TR

WE LIVE IN COASTAL VIRGINIA WITH HIGH LEVELS OF HUMIDITY. I FEEL THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

I HAVE INVESTED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD TRYING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PURGE VALVE IN DECEMBER 2014.

I SWITCHED MY CAR OFF TO PUMP GAS. WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR TO TURN IN THE CAR MY KEY THE MOTOR WOULDN'T TURN OVER. ITS LIKE MY CAR JUST POWERED OFF. MY KEY WAS VERY LOOSE OUT IN THE IGNITION AND IT WASN'T MAKING CLICK SOUNDS LIKE IT NORMALLY DID AFTER YOU SWITCH THE KEY OUT OF THE LOCK POSITION. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY IGNITION HOUSING WAS SHATTERED. MY CAR WAS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE THE ENTIRE DAY. CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP HAVE BEEN HAVING RECALLS ON THE IGNITION SWITCHES. I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

DRIVING 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A HOUSTON,TEXAS CROWDED AND BUSY FREEWAY. MY CHRYSLER 300 CAUGHT ON FIRE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THICK BLACK SMOKE AND A STRONG SMELL OF BURNING OF BURNING PLASTIC.

RIGHT BEFORE THE LOUD BOOM FIRE AND SMOKE. THE CHECK ENGINE DISPLAYED AND THEN THE OTHER LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SOUND OF A POP THEN BOOM OF SMOKE ALL WITHIN APPROX 5 SECONDS.

SINCE FEB 2012, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED & IDLING. AFTER THE CAR WARMS UP & IS RESTARTED, IT SEEMS TO RUN OK. IF I TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR BEFORE IT WARMS UP, THE ETC & THE ANTI-LOCK BREAK LIGHTS COME ON. THE ENGINE LOSES POWER & CONTROL OF THE STEERING & BRAKES. AFTER A COUPLE OCCURRENCES, ON 21 FEB 2012, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER (TATE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP, INC. IN GLEN BURNIE, MD). AFTER BEING AT THE DEALER FOR 2 WKS & $180 IN SERVICE FEES, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. SINCE 2012, THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR MORE OFTEN. NOW IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR THERE WAS NO INDICATION FROM THE PANEL THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM; CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF MOTOR OVER HEATED, CAR DOES NOT RUN AT ALL.

I CALLED AAA TOWING AND THEY CAME OUT. HE REMOVED THE ENTIRE TOP PORTION AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT AND SAID TO RELEASE THE GEAR SHIFT USE YOUR FINGER ALONG THE CABLE AND PUSH THE FIRST THING YOU FEEL. IT WORKED AND EACH TIME I REMOVE FROM PARK, I HAVE TO RUN MY FINGER ALONG THE CABLE AND PUSH THE BUTTON. HE SAID THAT A PINK $14 PART IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

ON YESTERDAY I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AFTER PICKING UP MY SEVEN YEAR OLD SON FROM SCHOOL PUT MY CAR INTO PARK AND THE EXHAUST FAN EXPLORED. THE BLADES HIT THE RADIATOR SO HARD IT PUT A HOLE IN IT. THE FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR POURED OUT ONTO THE DRIVE. ALL I COULD DO WAS SIT AND THANK GOD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THE DAY BEFORE BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFT LOCK IN THIS SAME CAR AS IT WAS STRUCK IN PARK. WHAT'S NEXT?????

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 CHRYSLER 300 IN 2008. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 86,000 MILES ON IT. BEFORE IT REACHED 100,000 MILES THE PROBLEMS HAD ALREADY STARTED. FIRST THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND ANOTHER LIGHT LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY PANEL CAME ON. MY CAR WAS LOCKING ME OUT AT ANY MOMENT. FIRST I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY FAULT BUT IT HAPPENED TWICE TO ME WHILE MY CAR WAS RUNNING AND MY KEYS IN THE IGNITION!! WELL, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, " I KNOW I DIDN'T HIT THE LOCK BUTTON BEFORE I GOT OUT OF MY CAR, SO WHEN IT HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME I WENT HOME AND SIT IN MY GARAGE AND I SAT AND WATCHED. ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ALL BY ITSELF AND ON THE OUTSIDE WITH MY KEYS WATCHING THIS THINKING "I WAS RIGHT"!!!! WELL NOT ONLY WAS THE CAR ACTING CRAZY, IT STARTED ACTING UP WHEN I PULL OUT OF ANY ROAD LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, AND I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF, "I AM EVENTUALLY GOING TO GET RAN OVER BECAUSE MY CAR WONT GO!!!! DURING THESE INCIDENTS THE ABS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WOULD COME ON THEN GO OFF AND COME BACK ON AGAIN. I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS GOING TO DO. CERTAIN TIMES GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT WOULD DO THE SAME THING AND IT WAS ACTING LIKE THE WHEELS WAS GOING TO LOCK UP!!! UNTIL THIS VERY DAY, 08-05-2014 IT STILL HAS THESE PROBLEMS. I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT IT AND ILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER OR DODGE EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FINALLY MADE THE CALL AFTER 6 YEARS OF THIS CRAP AND THE LADY I SPOKE TO SAYS, "THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON T

EVERY TIME I EITHER TURN A CORNER OR BACK OUT OF MY DRIVE THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE, BUT I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY MAKE AND YEAR BUT I MISSED THE RECALL BY A MONTH. AND SINCE THIS IS SO, DID THEY FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURER? ALSO, I WILL HAVE TO HAD TO FIX MY INTERLOCK SHIFT NOW FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS COME THIS THURSDAY. I AM WORRIED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK AND MOVE OUT OF THE WAY IN AN EMERGENCY. I AM GOING TO UTILIZE SOCIAL MEDIA TO SEE IF I CAN GET MORE PEOPLE TO COMPLAIN TO YOU ALL AND ALSO TO CHRYSLER TO GET THIS COSTLY AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

HAD TO MOVE CAR OFF BLOCK DUE TO STREET REPAIRS BEGINNING. WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE IT TO WORK, CAR WILL NOT GO OUT OF PARK POSITION. ALSO, IN 2009, I TOOK CAR TO DEALER ON KIRKWOOD HWY IN WILMINGTON, DE. I TOLD THEM THAT WHEN THE CAR GOES ABOVE 60 MPH, THE ESC LIGHT COMES ON, CAR SLOWS DOWN TO AN EXACT STOP. THIS HAPPENS...AS YOU GUESS IT....IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED IT, IN MY CAR AND THROUGH ANY COMPLAINTS. *TR

CAR STUCK PARK. FOUND INSTRUCTIONS IN MANUAL TO RELEASE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEM OVERRIDE BY PRESSING THE PINK TAB. THAT DID NOT WORK. USED A STREW DRIVER TO MANUALLY MOVE THE GEAR OUT OF PARK. WENT TO GARAGE AND ASKED THAT THE PINK TAB BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS COMMON ON CHRYSLERS AND THAT THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT HAD TO BE REPLACED. IS THERE A RECALL? *TR

I HAD DRIVEN MY CAR HOME FROM WORK, I WAS ON THE STREET I LIVE ON AND WAITING FOR AN AMBULANCE TO CLEAR THE ENTRANCE TO MY DRIVE WAY SO I COULD PARK. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AT THE DIRECTION OF THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM, ONCE THE EMERGENCY VEHICLE HAD CLEARED THE ENTRANCE I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT MY CAR BACK IN TO DRIVE, OR REVERSE. IT WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO MOVE MY VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD IN ORDER NOT TO BLOCK TRAFFIC, I WAS ALSO SLIGHTLY IN THE LANE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES AT THE TIME (I LIVE IN AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY, IT IS NORMAL FOR THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO BE PRESENT ON AND AROUND THE PROPERTY AND THEY OFTEN DIRECT OTHER VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL FLOW OF TRAFFIC.) AFTER THIS INCIDENT I FOUND CHRYSLER HAD RECALLED SEVERAL VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AS MINE. HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE LIST, EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, CHRYSLER CLAIMED THIS TO BE COINCIDENTAL. HAD MY VEHICLE BEEN HIT WHILE BLOCKING TRAFFIC, WOULD CHRYSLER THEN FIX THIS ISSUE? WOULD THE GOVERNMENT REQUIRE THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IF SOMEONE DOES GET HURT? WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRODUCT THAT HAS CLEARLY HAD THE SAME DEFECT THEY ALREADY KNOW EXISTS? I AM APPALLED THAT THEY CAN KNOWINGLY HAVE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND CLAIM IT TO BE COINCIDENTAL. ON TOP OF THAT, THEY PROFIT FROM SELLING THE REPLACEMENT PART, THE LABOR

I HAVE OWNED TWO CHRYSLER 300'S BOTH BEING THE MODEL YEAR 2007 AND BOTH HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR SHIFT GETTING STUCK IN PARK. LEAVING TO TAKE MY SON TO SUMMER SCHOOL THIS MORNING AND COULD NOT GET MY CAR OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. HAD TO BREAK INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE AND USE A SCREWDRIVER TO GET THE CAR IN DRIVE. "UNFORTUNATELY" I KNEW HOW TO DO THIS BECAUSE THE 2007 MODEL THAT I OWNED THREE YEARS AGO DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUT MY PARKING BRAKE DOWN WHEN EVER I PARK MY CAR BECAUSE IF I PLACE IT IN PARK I WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE STEPS AGAIN TO UNLOCK IT. HUGE ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT THE REPLACEMENT PIECE HAPPENS TO BE MEDAL. SO I ASK WHY WOULD CHRYSLER GO THE CHEAP ROUTE AND PLACE A PLASTIC PIECE IN ALL OF THE VEHICLES (THAT COST A PRETTY PENNY) INSTEAD OF DOING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND HAVING THE MEDAL PIECE IN IT FROM THE START. SOUNDS LIKE A WAY TO GET CUSTOMERS TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND SPEND MORE MONEY. HORRIBLE BUSINESS ETHICS AND DUE TO THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO ME TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE VEHICLES I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER JEEP OR DODGE AGAIN! *TR

I STARTED UP THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM UP UNDER THE HOOD. I THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE VEHICLE BESIDE ME SO I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND THE NOISE STOPPED. I STARTED MY VEHICLE AGAIN AND HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. SO I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR, RAISED THE HOOD AND OBSERVED COOLANT ON THE VEHICLE'S FRAME AND ON THE GROUND. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND THAT ONE OF THE TWO COOLING FANS SEPARATED AND PUNCTURED THE RADIATOR IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. I LEARNED OF A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE BUT CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS STATING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE SPECIFICALLY STIPULATED IN THE RECALL OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE. *TR
