ONE MORNING MY HUSBAND WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK AROUND 6 AM WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATOR. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY SO WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED IT (CARMAX). UPON FURTHER REVIEW WE WERE TOLD THE ENGINE BLEW DUE TO SLUDGE BUILD UP AND THEY NEEDED OUR MAINTENANCE RECEIPTS. EVEN AFTER PROVIDED THE DOCUMENTS FOR THE LAST YEAR THEY STILL REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE CHRYSLER DOESN'T COVER SLUDGE BUILD UP. WE WERE ADVISED TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM BY A SHOP THAT SELLS THESE 2.7 LITER ENGINES BECAUSE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THESE ENGINES NATION WIDE. CHRYSLER SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO ISSUE A RECALL.UNFORTUNATELY THEY'LL RECOGNIZE THIS DEFECT WHEN THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC PILE UP ON THE ROAD AND PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES.

MY CAR WOULDN'T START BY PUSHING START BUTTON. I CALLED A LOCAL (LAREDO) CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE KEY JUST NEEDED TO BE PROGRAMMED, SINCE MESSAGE SHOWED KEY DAMAGED. I TOOK THE BUTTON OFF AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR WITH KEY. AFTER, $160.00 THEY RETURNED THE CAR TO ME WITHOUT REPLACING THE START BUTTON BACK ON-- WHICH WAS IN CUP HOLDER. I REPLACED THE START BUTTON AND TO MY DISAPPOINTED, CAR STILL DIDN'T START. OK, 1ST ?, YOU'D THINK THEY WOULD HAVE TESTED THE VEHICLE, SINCE THAT WAS THE INITIAL COMPLAINT. MESSAGE STILL SHOWS --KEY DAMAGED! SERVICE MGR. CLAIMS THAT I AM ALREADY GETTING OFF EASY BECAUSE HE DIDN'T CHARGE ME LABOR, REALLY WHAT LABOR--IT DOESN'T START. NOW, HE CLAIMS IT'S NOT THE KEY ...IT'S SOMETHING ELSE AND THERE IS NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE KNOWN --NOW I NEED TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $187, PLUS 1/2 FOR LABOR--HE'S CUTTING ME A DEAL ON THE LABOR FEES. NEEDLESS TO SAY I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HIS SUPERVISOR AND HE IS IT, WOULDN'T ALLOW ME NOR WOULD TELL ME HIS SUPERVISOR WAS. HE SAID HE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE THE DECISIONS AND IT'S FINAL. SO, I'M OUT $160, STILL DIDN'T GET MY CAR FIXED. UPON RESEARCHING I SAW SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE (WIN) SYSTEM FOR THESE VEHICLES. IS IT A RECALL AND IS THE DEALERSHIP REQUIRED TO FIX IT? ALSO, HOW CAN WE AS CONSUMERS BE BETTER EDUCATED PER SAY TO BE AWARE OF WHAT THESE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE REPAIRING/REPLACING BASED ON RECALLS. I CAN BET THEY ARE NOT VOLUNTEERING RECALL INFORMATION AT THE DEALERSHIP. AND HOW CAN WE B

I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON HWY I-81 IN STATE OF VIRGINIA WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET ON 70 MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT. I WAS TRAVELING IN LINE WITH THE TRAFFIC I.E., SEVERAL VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME, SEVERAL VEHICLES BEHIND ME, AND SEVERAL SEMI-TRUCKS ON MY RIGHT LANE, ALL AS A GROUP, NO ONE PASSING ANYONE, BUT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EACH OTHER, IE., THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 5 VEHICLE SPACES IN FRONT OF ME, THE ONES TO MY REAR WERE APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 VEHICLE SPACES, AND THE SEMI-TRUCKS WERE RIGHT IN LINE WITH ME ONE BEHIND THE OTHERS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EACH OTHER. I WAS STOPPED BY A STATE TROOPER WHO STATED THAT I WAS TRAVELING AT 85 MPH IN A 70 MPH ZONE AND WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A REASON FOR THAT. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD NO REASON SINCE I HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL ON 70 MPH. HE GAVE ME A TRAFFIC CITATION FOR RECKLESS DRIVING. UPON MY RETURN TO KENTUCKY, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO MY DEALER TO HAVE THE SPEEDOMETER AND CRUISE CONTROL CHECKED. MY DEALER'S TECHNICIAN COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY RAN A 23 POINT CHECK (WHATEVER THAT MEANS) AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE SPEEDOMETER. EITHER THEY ARE NOT SYNCHRONIZED OR THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I WOULD LIKE SOMEBODY KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH PROBLEMS OF THIS NATURE TO INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHAT CAUSED THIS. I WILL NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN UNTIL SOMEONE GUARANTEES TO ME THAT THERE IS AB

ON NOVEMBER 09, 2010 I PURCHASED A 2010 CHYRSLER 300C WITH A HEMI. ON THE SAME DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER MEMORY SEAT WOULD NOT RETURN TO POSITION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF.

I HAVE NOW HAD THE VEHICLE TO DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. REPAIR ORDERS STATES VEHICLE IS WORKING AS DESIGNED, SHUT CAR OFF FIRST THEN OPEN DOOR. IF DOOR IS OPENED FIRST, WILL NOT WORK AND THE THIRD REPAIR ORDER STATES DUPLICATED BY TWO EMPLOYEES OF DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE WAS CHECKED AGAINST STOCK UNITS THEY ALL PERFORM THE SAME EVERY 7TH TO 8TH TIME - THE SEAT DOES NOT RETURN FOR EASY EXIT. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THERE WAS A BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS TO DO WITH A SENSOR BUT AS OF THIS TIME THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM BECAUSE CHYRSLER CAN NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME I COULD HAVE THE REMOTE START BUTTON TAKEN OUT AND USE THE KEY AND THE SEAT WILL WORK EVERYTIME. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH THE REMOTE START FEATURE AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE THAT FEATURE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP ON NOVEMBER 10TH,19TH AND 22ND OF 2010. *TR
