I couldn't turn the wheel or stop my car. Eventually I slowed down and barely got the steering wheel to turn so I wasn't stuck right on the highway. My car was towed to a mechanic that replaced the alternator.”

Opened Sep 17, 2021airbags
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at …

IN MARCH 2019 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE A CHROMED SECTION ON THE STEERING WHEEL WAS PEELING BACK AND HAD CAUSED ME TO CUT MY THUMB ON IT. THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AND THEY ALSO CALLED ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS COSMETIC IN NATURE. I TRIED WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE WARRANTY (ZURICH) PERSONNEL AND THEY SEEMED AT FIRST AS THOUGH THEY WOULD TRY TO ASSIST AND THEN DECIDED NOT TO. I DID NOT PURSUE IT ANY FURTHER SINCE. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND MY RIGHT HAND THUMB RAN ACROSS ANOTHER SECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT PUT A CONSIDERABLE CUT IN MY THUMB. I HAVE A PHOTO OF THAT AS WELL AS THE PIECE THAT BROKE OFF IN MY THUMB. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COSMETIC IN NATURE BUT REALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM BUT THE STEERING WHEEL HAS THE HEATED FEATURE AND I USE IT ALL THE TIME IN THE WINTER. IT DOES SEEM TO GET VERY WARM FROM THE HEAT AND I AM NOT SURE IF THAT COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SOMETHING THAT WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AS THE CHROME PLATING CONTINUES TO PEEL AWAY. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST FROM NEGLECTFUL USE, IS VERY REAL, AND AGAIN SHOULD BE LOOKED AT FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT CAUSED A QUICK REACTION TO LOOK DOWN AT MY THUMB TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND CERTAINLY DISTRACTED MY DRIVING THAT SUDDENLY.

MY 18 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT ABOUT 40-50 MILES AN HOUR ON A VERY BUSY STREET IN BELLEVUE WASHINGTON, A CITY HE'S NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO PARK AND WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. HE HAD TO THINK QUICKLY AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD HE WAS ABLE TO MOMENTARILY GET THE CAR IN DRIVE AND PULL OVER INTO A DRIVEWAY. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR, IT WOULD REVERT BACK TO PARK REGARDLESS OF WHAT GEAR YOU SHIFTED IT INTO. WE TRIED TO SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE AND IT REVERTED BACK TO PARK. THIS IS THE SECOND VERY SERIOUS SITUATION I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR. THE FUSE HAPPENS OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A BUS BUT LUCKILY I WAS ALSO ABLE TO THINK QUICK ND TURN INTO A URGENT CARE PARKING LOT. IT WAS A FAULTY ALTERNATOR THAT WAS A PART OF A RECALL. I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND DO NOT WANT MY SO. TO EVER DRIVE IT. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SECOND CAR FOR HIM TO DRIVE BUT ITS UNSAFE. I WANT CHRYSLER TO PAY ME OUT OF MY LOAN AS I NEVER WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN AND I STILL OWE $15,000 ON THIS CAR.

THE UNDER SIDE OF THE FRONT END OF THE CAR - INCLUDING ALL SUSPENSION - CONTROL ARMS/BUSHINGS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED/DRY ROTTED OUT ON THE CAR. THE DRIVERS SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES. THIS WAS FIRST BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION AT 30,000 MILES THAT THERE WAS A TON OF RUST ON ALL THE COMPONENTS. WENT IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SITUATION HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND THE COST FOR REPAIR IS OVER $1000 FOR ONE SIDE. CLEARLY WITH ALL THE PREMATURE RUST/WEAR - THAT IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO CHRYSLER, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR VIBRATES SUBSTANTIALLY UNDER ANY BRAKING FORCE. FEELS LIKE THE TIRE IS GOING TO FALL OFF THE CAR. CANNOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE AT ANY RATE OF SPEED.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM ISN'T WORKING ON MY CAR CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY FOR HELP SHE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO BUT IT'S SHOWS A RECALL FOR THISBE ISSUE ON THE WEBSITE .
Complaints 1-50 of 306, newest first, reproduced as filed.
It is not among the 300 years to avoid. Owners filed 306 complaints, against about 200 for a typical 300 year. The most common complaint is about the electrical system (39%). In NHTSA crash tests it scored 5 stars overall.
What is the most common problem with the 2013 Chrysler 300?
The electrical system: 119 of the 306 complaints (39%) are about it. Owners most often say it drains the battery or stops charging (40%), sets off warning lights on the dash (13%) and smokes or smells of burning (13%). The typical report comes at 53,200 miles.
How many recalls does the 2013 Chrysler 300 have?
6 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Jan 15, 2019. 2 of them carry a do-not-drive or park-outside warning. The largest, 19V018000, covered 1,413,222 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.
At what mileage do 2013 Chrysler 300 problems start?
Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 42,000 miles. For the electrical system the midpoint is 53,200 miles.
Has NHTSA investigated the 2013 Chrysler 300?
Yes, 2 times. The latest, EA21002 ("Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture"), was opened Sep 17, 2021 and is still open.
Are there service bulletins for the 2013 Chrysler 300?
The manufacturer filed 316 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the electrical system (64), the body and frame (37) and the engine (36). They include a warranty extension, 09-002-14 REV. B, filed Dec 15, 2014. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.
Reading this record
NHTSA has issued a do-not-drive warning for a recall on this vehicle.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Most recent recall on file: Jan 15, 2019. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
