2012 Chrysler 300 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER SYSTEMS TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,302.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, SHOULDER, WRIST, AND NECK. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V118000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY IN MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 WHEN I RECEIVED THE MANUFACTURER RECALL NOTICE. I PURCHASED THE PARTS MYSELF AND HAD THE DEALER INSTALL THEM AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER. PLEASE NOTE HERE THAT THIS IS A BASE MODEL. THAT ALTERNATOR RECENTLY FAILED AS WELL AFTER JUST OVER A YEAR. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF FOR A FEW DAYS. IT CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON THIS TIME. HAD IT TESTED AND WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR WAS AGAIN FAILING. THIS ALTERNATOR COST 485.00, LUCKILY WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY. PERHAPS IT IS NOT JUST THE TYPE OF ALTERNATORS CHRYSLER USED, BUT A MORE COMPLEX PROBLEM TO BE INVESTIGATED HERE.

THERE IS A KNOCKING COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD RELATED TO THE AC. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AND NOW THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2012 AS WELL AS MY FRIEND, SHE HAS A 2006 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. EVERY TIME THE AC IS TURNED OFF THERE IS A KNOCKING FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE GEAR SHIFTER STICK FAILED TO SHIFT FROM THE REVERSE POSITION. IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT THE GEAR SHIFTER STICK TO THE DRIVE POSITION. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT FOUND. THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER COULD LOCK UP IN ANY POSITION. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA16002 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, AS THE CAR HEATS UP, THE ABS FUSE SEEMS TO LOSE CONTACT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ABS/ESP (STABILITY CONTROL), FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE DISABLE. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING. IF USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ACCELERATION AND SPEED MAINTENANCE WILL STOP, AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT (THOUGH IT HAS NOT YET). A SIMILAR CHRYSLER CASE HAS BEEN OPENED AND LINKED TO THE POLICE VARIANT OF A CAR ON THE SAME PLATFORM WITH SAME ENGINE. POLICE CARS USE DODGE CHARGERS WITH HEMI V8, WHICH IS THE SAME PLATFORM AS THE CHRYSLER 300 WITH A HEMI V8, WITH MOSTLY COSMETIC ISSUES. THE FUSE IS NOT BLOWN, AND UPON THE CAR COOLING DOWN, THE SYSTEM IS RESTORED, HOWEVER, ON JOURNEYS IN WHICH THE ENGINE HEAT RISES, THE SYSTEM GOES OFFLINE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS MAY BE A COMMON ISSUE IN THIS PLATFORM, HOWEVER, THE TSB ONLY WENT TO THE POLICE CAR VARIANT OF ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CAR. WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING, IF THE DRIVER HAS THE BRAKES APPLIED, A BANG/GRIND/SCRAPE SOUND (SUCH AS WHAT IS HEARD WHEN THE ABS ACTUALLY ENGAGES) CAN BE HEARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V634000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET WHEN SUDDENLY IT STARTED TO ACT STRANGE. THE VEHICLE STABILITY WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AND I BEGAN TO QUICKLY LOSE POWER AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. A BURNING SMELL WAS DETECTED AND THE POWERTRAIN BEGAN TO MAKE UNUSUAL NOISES. OTHER WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN POPPING RANDOMLY AND THE WIPERS STARTED ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING HAD BURNED UP UNDER THE HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE SERVICE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT LATER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THE ALTERNATOR HAD BURNED UP. THE ALTERNATOR ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY BATTERY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO REPAIR BOTH. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO INDICATED THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS AWARE CHRYSLER HAD RECALLED ALMOST 1/2 MILLION VEHICLE FOR THE SAME EXACT ALTERNATOR PROBLEM (RECALL P60). I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INDICATED NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE P60 RECALL LIST. THEY PROVIDED ME A CASE NUMBER FOR THE INITIAL ROADSIDE SERVICE/TOW (#28743527) AND INDICATED NO OTHER CASE NUMBER WOULD BE GENERATED. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON CHRYSLER'S RECALL LIST, THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED BY MY VEHICLE WAS IDENTICAL TO THE ALTERNATOR/ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED IN

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE TRAVELING 70 MILES PER/HOUR MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 DASH WARNING LIGHT LIT UP FOLLOWED BY DASH GOING WHITE. WE THEN LOST ALL POWER IN VEHICLE. NO POWER STEERING NO LIGHTS INSIDE VEHICLE OR OUTSIDE. WE WERE TRAVELING AT NIGHT SO PULLED OFF WITH SOME GREAT EFFORT. I AM GLAD I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE. YOU COULD SMELL THE ELECTRICAL FIRE IN VEHICLE. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. PAID ALMOST 700 DOLLARS FOR NEW ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL (P60) WHICH LIST MY VEHICLE BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP AS PART OF THE RECALL. MY BROTHER HAS A DODGE AND HAD SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY. HIS VEHICLE WAS LISTED AS PART OF N60 RECALL AND WAS REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE.

THE GEAR SHIFTER SOMETIMES DOES NOT GO INTO PARK AND ON ONE OCCASION I GOT OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT REALIZING AND IMMEDIATELY JUMPED BACK IN, REENGAGING THE PARK POSITION. SINCE THAT TIME, I DOUBLE CHECK EACH TIME BEFORE GETTING OUT. HAVE NOT LIKED THIS SHIFTER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2012, SINCE OBTAINING THE CORRECT GEAR TAKES SOMETIMES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. MY WIFE ALSO HAS THIS DIFFICULTY.

VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR A PERIOD OF WEEKS UNTIL IT STAYS ON PERMANENTLY UNTIL REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THAT THE PART REPLACED IS THE SAME AS INDICATED ON RECALL 13V118000, YET, MY VIN DOES NOT APPLY TO THE RECALL. THE CURRENT FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN DUPLICATED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THUS THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. FURTHER, THE LIGHT WAS ON THE DAY PRIOR TO BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE, ON 9/22, YET THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NO CODES. THEY STATE THAT ANY TIME THE LIGHT COMES ON, A CODE IS STORED THAT IS NOT CLEARED UNTIL THE BATTERY IS REMOVED OR THE CODE IS CLEARED BY THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TOOL. THUS THE FINDING OF NO CODES STORED IS TROUBLING, AS THERE WOULD BE NO DISCERNIBLE EVIDENCE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AS TO WHY THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS FAILING PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY REPAIRED THE ISSUE TWICE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND I HAVE PAID THE DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS EACH TIME. THEY CONTINUE TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WITH FAULTY PARTS.

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED TO STALL. MANAGED TO GET IT TO A PARKING LOT WHERE IT DIED OUT. THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY GOT A NEW ONE TO MOVE FROM THE PARKING LOT. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME FROM THE PARKING LOT ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY. IT STARTED TO GIVE OUT AND STALL AGAIN SO I PULLED OVER. POPPED THE HOOD OPEN AND THE ALTANATOR WAS SMOKING SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF. EVEN AFTER I TURNED IT OFF IT STILL SMOKED AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS CRACKLINGS LIKE A FIRE LUCKILY IT DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE. MY QUESTION IS IF THERE'S RECALLS ON 2011-2014 CHRYSLER 300 ALTANATORS WHY IS THERE NOT ONE ON MY CAR?

I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON AND THE MALFUNCTIONING INDICATOR LIGHT BOTH COME . THE VEHICLE LOSES SPEED AND WILL NOT GO IN PARK OR SHUT OFF . THE FUSES IN THE FUSE BOX BECOME EXTREMELY HOT . HAD DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE REAR SPEED WHEEL SPEED SENSOR . PART WAS REPLACED AND VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING .

AROUND 3 WEEKS AGO. MY ESC LIGHT CAME ON I WASN'T SURE EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS AT FIRST. I DID A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS INFORMATION ABOUT A RECALL REGARDING ESC LIGHT. SO I CALLED THE RECALL PHONE NUMBER AND THEY CHECKED WITH THE GLENDALE CHRYSLER AND SET ME UP A APPOINTMENT FOR ONE WEEK LATER AT 9AM. THE DAY I WENT TO THE GLENDALE LOCATION WHEN I ARRIVED I WENT UP AND SPOKE WITH THE PERSON WHO WAS HANDLING MY SITUATION. I THOUGHT BEING THAT I HAD THE 9AM APPOINTMENT AND I WAITED ONE WEEK I WOULD BE THE FIRST PRIORITY. INSTEAD SEVERAL PEOPLE WENT AHEAD OF ME AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR TILL 1PM. AT THE END OF EVERYTHING I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I FELT AS IF THEY WAS NOT REALLY TRYING TO HELP ME AND TRIED TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER REASON WHY THE LIGHT WAS ON. SO I WENT HOME AND CALLED THE RECALL NUMBER BACK AND EXPLAINED TO THEM I WASN'T COMFORTABLE WITH THE SITUATION. SO THEY CALLED THE DOWNTOWN LA LOCATION AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AND THEY CANT ORDER THE PART. THE REPRESENTATIVE THEN CALLED THE INGLEWOOD LOCATION AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FORWARD THE INFORMATION TO THE SUPERVISOR AND SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THAT CALL WAS MADE ON WED JULY 15TH AND AS OF TODAY JULY 20TH I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS LIGHT COMING ON CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND I CANT GET ANY HELP WITH FIXING THIS SITUATION.

A QUICK SCAN OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED APPROXIMATELY 1000 RPM'S ENGINE AND THE "CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR" LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WITH NO ABILITY TO INCREASE VEHICLE SPED THRU CONTINUED EFFORTS, A DRIVER WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY MOVE THE VEHICLE TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE DUE TO AN CLEAR OPENING IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED USING THE BRAKES, THE ENGINE WAS SWITCHED OFF, AND RESTARTED AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES TIME WITH THE ACCELERATOR NOW WORKING BUT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ILLUMINATED.

OUR VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A TWO VEHICLE COLLISION. THE ENTIRE FRONT ON MY CAR WAS SMASHED, WITH THE HOOD PUSHED UP INTO THE WINDSHIELD, BREAKING THE GLASS INTO PIECES THAT WERE VISIBLE ON THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD. NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MY NECK AND LEFT ACL WERE BOTH INJURED IN THE COLLISION. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SENSORS BECAUSE I DID NOT SUFFER MORE SERIOUS INJURIES. MY 7 MONTH OLD INFANT WAS IN A FAIRLY EXPENSIVE 5-POINT-HARNESS CARSEAT, WHICH POSSIBLY SAVED HIS LIFE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SENSORS BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE DUE TO CHRYSLER'S POOR SENSORY DESIGNS. *TR
