2012 Chrysler 300 complaints

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

WE LEFT OUR HOME TO RUN AN ERRAND AWAY FROM HOME. WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK HOME WHEN IN MY CAR WE HEARD A BELL OR LIKE A RING.. ALL OF A SUDDEN OUR CAR STALLED IN THE STREET WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT CAR TURNED OFF AND MY HUSBAND COULD NOT GET IT IN GEAR OR STOPPED. THE RADIO TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS WENT OFF & HEATER CAME ON I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING AND THEN MY HUSBAND TRIED TO START THE CAR IT STARTED THEN STOPPED AND THEN HE WASN'T ABLE TO STOP IT MY DAUGHTER AND I STARTED FLIPPING OUT BOTH CRYING WE WERE SCARED IN TRAFFIC AND OUR CAR JUST STOPPED AND WE COULD NOT EVEN GET IT OUT OF NEUTRAL. WE CALLED THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND A WRECKER CAME IN THE MEAN TIME WE ARE BROKEN DOWN IN A VERY BAD OF TOWN STRANDED. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO TOMBALL DODGE WHERE WE BOUGHT IT FROM. WE LET THE DEALERSHIP KNOW THAT THIS IS OUR ONE AND ONLY CAR AND WE HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND WE NEEDED EVERYTHING HANDLED QUICKLY AND WE NEED A RENTAL CAR OR A COURTESY CAR OR SOMETHING. DEALERSHIP TOLD US THEY HAVE TO GET WITH CHRYSLER AS THERE WAS A RE-CALL ON THE ALTERNATOR - WE ALSO CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL ASSISTANCE TEAM AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THE DEALERSHIP HAS CALLED THEM. PROBLEM IS WE LOOKED THE RECALL UP ON SAFERCAR AND THERE IS NO REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE SO ACCORDING TO THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER THEY WILL BE PUTTING ON ANOTHER DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR SINCE REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE. VERY VERY UNSAFE AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY ANSWERS FROM ANY ONE. I

I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE AND WAS APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER MILE FROM HOME WHEN MY SON AND I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. THEN THE RADIO TURNED OFF. I LOOKED DOWN AND THE MESSAGE CENTER SAID "BATTERY SAVING MODE". I HAD JUST PUT A NEW BATTERY ON LESS THAN 4 MONTHS AGO. THEN I HEARD A WHIRRING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP A HILL. THE RED OUTLINE OF A BATTERY APPEARED ON THE DASH. I TOOK THE CAR BACK HOME AND PARKED IT -- THEN HAD TO HAVE A NEW ALTERNATOR INSTALLED THE NEXT DAY. MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS DEFINITE EVIDENCE OF THE ALTERNATOR BURNING UP. AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE WITH THE NEW ALTERNATOR -- MY HEAT WOULD NOT BLOW OUT THE FRONT VENTS. TURNS OUT THE ACTUATOR HAD GONE OUT. I AM STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR JUST A REALLY STRANGE COINCIDENCE. I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN I GET ON THE INTERSTATE EVEN WITH THE NEW ALTERNATOR BECAUSE I WAS TOLD IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANYTIME WITHOUT KNOWING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

TWO RECENT ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. ABS/ECS WARNING LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY THEN OVER ONE WEEKS TIME IT STAYED ON FOR LONGER PERIODS. LIGHT NOW STAYS ON CONSTANTLY AFTER STARTING AND MOVING THE VEHICLE A SHORT DISTANCE. RECENTLY WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE CAR HESITATED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING APPEARED ON DASH DISPLAY. THE VEHICLE DROVE LIKE IT WAS IN LOW GEAR ENGINE RPM 2000 AND MOVING UNDER 20 MPH. PULLED THE VEHICLE INTO A SAFE SPOT TRIED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. WORKED THE SHIFT LEVER HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO PARK NOR COULD I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO PARK, NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW I DID IT, BUT WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. CONTACT CHRYSLER ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY DISPATCHED A TOW TRUCK TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE AT A LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER SERVICE SHOP IS BACK-UP AND WILL BE A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THEY CAN EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. SPOKE TO CHRYSLER TECHNICAL SUPPORT THEY CONFORMED THE VEHICLE HAS NO EXISTING RECALL NOTICES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH AND I FELT A JERK AND A WARNING SIGN CAME ON SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION BELOW THAT IT SAID TO SHUT OFF ENGINE AND ENGAGE IN PARK. I WAS ALMOST ON A MAJOR STREET WHEN THIS OCCURRED IT SLOWED DOWN I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE. I TURNED AROUND TO ENTER A PARKING LOT I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK . I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO COME AND GET ME. I'M THANKFUL THAT I DIDN'T MAKE IT THE MAJOR ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 50-60 MPH. LOOKING FOR A CERTIFIED DEALER TO SERVICE THIS VEHICLE BUT THEY ARE SWAMPED SO I AM STUCK WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I WON'T TAKE THE CHANCE TO DRIVE IT I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE. *TR

LFIRST I MUST SAY, I HAVE BEGUN TO HATE EVER BUYING A CHRYSLER. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 3 RECALLS IN THE SHORT LIVED OF ME PURCHASING THIS CAR. NOW, I RECEIVE THIS "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE" ON THE ALTERNATOR JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT NO PROBLEM, I WILL BE OFF WORK, I WILL GO BY THE DEALER AND HAVE THIS CHECK/FIXED, BUT AS I CONTINUING READING THE NOTICE THAT SAID YOU WILL NOTIFY ME WHEN THESE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM PLANNING TO TRAVEL FOR THE HOLIDAYS, NOW I CAN'T, I DON'T TRUST THIS CAR. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE AT THIS POINT TRAVELING AMONGST A CONVEY OF OTHER CARS AND MY CAR COULD JUST STOP DOES NOT MAKE FOR A HAPPY CHRISTMAS, THIS HAS RUINED MY CHRISTMAS PLANS AND MY QUESTION TO CHRYSLER SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO? THE CAR IS SLUGGISH AS IT IS AND NOW THIS. NOT WHAT I HOPE TO GET FROM THIS CAR I ALWAYS WANTED AND NOW I HAVE GROWN TO SEE IT AS ONE OF MY WORST NIGHTMARES'. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO HERE? BASICALLY, I GET THAT I COULD EXPERIENCE A RAPID FAILURE; THUS, PUTTING MY LIFE, THE PEOPLE IN MY CAR, AND EVERY OTHER CITIZEN LIFE IN DANGER. THIS IS OK, THE ONLY SAFETY HER IS THAT I DON'T DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL IT'S FIXED AND YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITHOUT PARTS, AND SINCE CHRYSLER DO NOT KNOW WHEN THESE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IT IS EXTREMELY TO RISKY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED AND IF I DRIVE THIS CAR, THAT INVOLVES EVERYONE!!! *TR

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO CHRYSLER RECALL P60/NHTSA 14V-634 I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ON THURS, DEC 4, 2014. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DON JACKSON DEALERSHIP IN UNION CITY, GA WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND PRESENTED THE RECALL NOTICE. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND NO DATE AS TO WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I CALLED CHRYSLER 800 - 853-1403 NUMBER AND PROVIDED RECALL NOTICE INFO. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND NO DATE AS TO WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I HAVE EXPLAINED THAT I WORK 50 MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE AND THAT I AM DRIVING THRU 8 LANES OF TRAFFIC 5 DAYS A WEEK. IN ADDITION, I HAVE EXPLAINED THAT THIS CAR IS SCHEDULED FOR A LONG 428 MILE ONE WAY TRIP FOR XMAS. STILL NO DATE AS TO WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I WONDER ABOUT THIS SINCE THE NOTICE CLAIMS POSSIBLE FAILURE OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND LOSS OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY. SO WHAT ABOUT THE 8 LANES OF DRIVERS AND CARS AROUND ME. DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT THE POSSIBLE IMPACT TO DRIVERS WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD NOT BE HARMED !!! I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT I SHOULD RECEIVE GREATER CONSIDERATION. IF THIS CAR IS DEEMED TO BE POSSIBLY "NOT SAFE," I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT CHRYSLER FIND ME ONE WHICH IS SAFE. AGAIN, SAFERCAR -- WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DRIVERS AROUND ME IF THE SYSTEMS IN THIS CHRYSLER 300 SHOULD FAIL AND I LOSE BRAKE CONTROL IN 8 LA

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND CAR STARTED MAKING A NOISE. PULLED OVER AND POPPED THE HOOD AND SMELLED BURNING OF PLASTIC. ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING. HAD TO HAVE TOWED HOME. *TR

I WAS GOING 30MPH WHEN I NOTICED MY RADIO TURNED OFF, FEW SECONDS LATER CENTER CONSOLE WENT OFF, AFTERWARDS ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON. 10 SECONDS LATER I LOST BRAKE CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK ON THE DRIVE GEAR, POWER STEERING WAS OFF AS WELL. I RAN THROUGH A RED LIGHT I MANAGED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO STOP, ONCE I WAS STOPPED THE CAR WAS STILL STUCK ON DRIVE, THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AND MAKING NOISE IT TOOK 30 MINS FOR THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WERE GOING CRAZY. THE CAR GOT TOWED NOW THE DEALER IS CHARGING ME 1,020 TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. THAT'S HOW CHRYSLER THANKS ME FOR ALMOST CRASHING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE STREET GOING ABOUT MY NORMAL DAY AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY RADIO SHUT OFF THEN ALL MY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD START COMING ON THE ABS LIGHT,SUDDEN MOVEMENT LIGHT. ALL LIGHTS IN CAR START BLINKING OFF AND ON. MESSAGE POPPED UP ON COMPUTER SCREEN THAT IT WAS IN POWER SAVING MODE. WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON.STEERING LOCKED.CAR SCREEN WENT BLANK AND CAR SHUT OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS ON A BUSY STREET AND THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME WAS THAT A POLICEMAN HAPPENED TO BE BEHIND ME.I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS GETTING CHECKED OUT. THEY SAID THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MY ALTERNATOR WENT OUT. THIS COULD CAUSE SOME ONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. *TR

I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND AT ABOUT 45 MPH THE CAR JUST STALLED DROPPING SPEED TO ABOUT 15 MPH SO I RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL AND STARTED TO GAIN SPEED WHEN I WAS GOING TO MERGE ONTO THE FIRST LANE AT ABOUT 50 MPH THE CAR STALLED AGAIN STOPPING THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I ALMOST DROVE OFF THE FREEWAY TO AVOID THE CARS BEHIND ME. THATS THE SCARIEST BUT LIKE A MONTH AGO IT DID THE SAME THING AT A STOP LIGHT IT JUST WOULDN'T RESPOND WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE OFF SO I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND START IT AGAIN. *TR

FAULTY ALTERNATOR, ALTERNATOR FAILS AND CARS ENGINE POWERS OFF WHILE DRIVING, FIRST "BATTERY SAVER MODE" INDICATER COMES ON ON MESSAGE BOARD THEN GOES OFF AND DEALER CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM, IT COMES BACK ON FEW DAYS LATER AND GOES OFF. DEALER WILL NOT KNOW PROBLEM. AFTER MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED CAR IS RUNNING ON BATTERY POWER ONLY AND EVENTUALLY KILLS BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR.

ON AUGUST 14TH 2014 I WAS DRIVING MY CHRYSLER 300S THROUGH TOWN AT 31MPH WHEN MY TRACTION AND ANTILOCK BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON MY DASHBOARD. MY "BATTERY SAVE MODE" INFO ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. I THEN HEARD A WHINING SOUND COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WE IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER INTO A GAS STATION AND OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS ON FIRE MELTING AND BURNING. WE IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THE CAR IS COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN. NOTHING WORKS ON THE CAR NOW. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME. I HAVE 42300 MILES ON THE CAR ONLY 6000 OUT OF WARRANTY AND THIS CAR IS CATCHING FIRE. IF I WOULD NOT HAVE PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY I HATE TO THINK ABOUT HOW MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, RADIO WENT OFF, AND OTHER LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON AND CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE RUBBER. WIPERS CAME ON AND OTHER LIGHTS WERE UP ON DASH. CAR SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF STREET AND WOULDN'T START BACK UP. AFTER SITTING FOR APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MINUTES IN THE STREET CAR COOLED OFF AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE CAR TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY SAID THERE WAS A RADIO SOFTWARE THAT NEEDED UPDATED. CONCERNED THAT THE RADIO SHUT THE ENTIRE CAR OFF AND THEY COULDN'T EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT WAS THE SOFTWARE. AFTER SEVERAL INQUIRIES TO THE CHRYSLER SERVICE CONTRACT DEPARTMENT THEY FINAL;Y GAVE ME SOFTWARE UPDATE BEING TSB-08-030-12-REV. NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESOLUTION PROVIDED BY CHRYSLER. WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE TO BE LOOKED BEFORE IT OCCUR TO SOMEONE ELSE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I PURCHASED A "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED" CHRYSLER 300S ON 02/14/14. FROM THE BEGINNING I HAD TO GO TO THE DEALER IN NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DUE TO TOO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES, INCLUDING AIR BAG LIGHT, SEAT BELT ALARM THAT WILL GO OFF WHEN NOTHING OR NOBODY WILL BE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAD TO TAKE A VIDEO WITH MY PHONE WHILE DRIVING FOR THEM TO SEE THAT I WAS NOT LYING AND THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT. FINALLY THEY CHANGED SOMETHING THERE AND AT THE SAME TIME DISCONNECTED THE ALARM FOR THE SEAT BELT SO IT WOULDN'T GO OFF. WE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES IF THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS NOT. THE CAR ALSO HAS A REAR SHADE THAT HAS TO BE REPAIRED ALREADY ONCE DURING WARRANTY, AND A SECOND TIME WHEN I HAD TO PAY FOR ITS REPAIR. IT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN SINCE MORE THAN A MONTH AGO. THE HANDS FREE SYSTEM IS ALSO NOT WORKING, AND IT HAS NOT WORKED RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. I HAD COMPLAINED TO THEM THAT MY PHONE WAS NOT CONNECTING ALL THE TIME AND THEY KEPT SAYING IT WAS THE SATELLITE, THE PHONE, ETC. NOW OF COURSE IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY $100 JUST FOR DIAGNOSTIC. I CALLED THEIR 800 NUMBER FOR THE CERTIFIED PREOWNED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT IS THE HANDS-FREE MODULE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS ALSO A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE I NEED WORKING. I COMMUTE MORE THAN 53 MILES EVERY DAY AND HAVE CONFERENCE CALLS WHILE ON THE ROAD. THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IS ALSO NOT WORKING RIGHT. IT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND AGAIN, THIS WAS AN ISSUE
