2007 Chrysler 300c

Defect. Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Dodge Ram 2500, 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 and Durango, 2006-2009 Dodge Ram 3500, 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500, 2007-2008 Chrysler Aspen, 2005-2010 Chrysler 300, 300C, 300S, and SRT8, 2006-2010 Dodge Charger, 2005-2008 Magnum, 2005-2011 Dodge Dakota, and 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with a dual-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture.

Risk. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the recall repair is complete. Chrysler will notify the affected Chrysler and Dodge owners and Mitsubishi will notify the affected Raider owners. Dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began for Chrylser on June 8, 2015. The recall for Mitsubishi started on June 24, 2015. Chrysler and Dodge owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Mitsubishi owners may call 1-888-648-7820. Chrysler's number for this recall is R25. Note: This recall supersedes recall 14V817 in its entirety. Vehicles that have had their driver side frontal air bag replaced previously need to have their air bag replaced under this recall as well.

Fuel fumes odor inside car and garage, checked car for leaks and found upper fuel pump mount plastic housing hairline cracked leaking fuel.

Unknown, but based on what I've read and seen others describe happen to them I would say it's somehow connected to the park assist. But my battery loses voltage while driving, the car will start blowing hot or cold air which ever it prefers at the time without any heating or cooling system being turned on, the dash goes crazy the rpms, speedometer and everything else will drop to zero the transmission will start jerking and the service park assist warning will flash on and off repeatedly very fast then the car died while driving on the highway and refused to start even with a jump start. Replaced the battery twice in 2 weeks and the alternator as well and the car continues to do this randomly. No codes show up but the abs light, esp bas lights are on, the brake light will come on every now and then without the brake being pressed and the car seriously just seems to have a mind of it's own.

My 300 has a glitch that causes me to put in neutral then back in drive I'm guessing because of a limp mode, I've had it worked on many times at the dealer in the 3 years I've owned it and spent thousands of dollars and not fix the problem. It done what 06V341000 said but my Vin is not effected they say

Took car in to dealer for power train issue where the car wouldn’t go over 40mph. Same day my wheel locked causing me to crash. I got a report that this issue was a recall for other models not the 300c

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OUTSIDE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT AND PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR DOOR HANDLES DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR HANDLES WERE DESIGNED TO SWIVEL BUT INSTEAD WERE COMING STRAIGHT FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VOSS VILLAGE CADILLAC, INC (650 MIAMISBURG CENTERVILLE RD, DAYTON, OH 45459, (937) 428-2300) WHERE THE DOOR HANDLES WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 14,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO OWNERS IN THE SAME FAMILY AND HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE (66000). THE ISSUE BEGAN IN OCTOBER OF 2018. WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AT 40 MPH THE INDICATORS ON THE DASH BEGAN FLICKERING AND MAKING NOISE. THIS CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY FOR THREE MONTHS BUT COULD NOT BE REPLICATED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THEN IN JANUARY OF 2019 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME THERE THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 BUT THE CAR COULD STILL BE OPERATED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE FOR OVER A MONTH BUT HAD NO LUCK. AS INSTRUCTED BY THE MECHANIC THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2006. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS IN FEBRUARY OF 2019 AND COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, CHARGING THE OWNER A $240 FEE FOR NOTHING. AS SOON AS THE OWNER LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IMMEDIATELY TO THE OWNERS PERSONAL MECHANIC WHO HAS HAD THE CAR EVER SINCE. THE MECHANIC HAS SINCE BROUGHT THE CAR TO ANOTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN TOWN WHO CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $600 ENDING IN NO DIAGNOSIS. THE CAR IS UNABLE TO PASS SMOG AS NOW THE PROBLEM OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE SEEN THIS COMPLAINT SEVERAL TIMES ONLINE AND IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING OR COMPENSATING THE OWNERS FOR AN OBVIOUS MECHANICAL ISSUE.

PURCHASED THIS CAR FEW MONTHS AGO. MONDAY FEB. 24TH, 2020 I WAS SITTING INSIDE MY CAR WHEN SUDDENLY I NOTICE A FIRE IN THE ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY GRAB MY WALLET AND PHONE EXITED THE CAR AND CALLED 911. THE FIREMEN CAME (FIRE WAS OUT BY THAT TIME) . I HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (4460 MCHENRY AVE, MODESTO CA 95356 CENTRAL VALLEY CHRYSLER, NISSAN) THEY HAD CAR FOR COUPLE OF DAYS AND TODAY CALLED ME IN TO TELL ME THAT A ROD SHOT THROUGH THE OIL PAN (I ASSUME IT OCCURRED AFTER FIRE STARTED BECAUSE I DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING PRIOR TO FIRE AND WAS NOT DRIVING CAR WHEN FIRE STARTED). THEY TOLE ME THAT IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE BUT THEY NEED TO DO MORE RESEARCH ON CAR AND GO INTO ENGINE (WHICH I GUESS IS A BIG TASK). THEY TELL ME THAT IF THEY DETERMINE THAT THEY MUST REPLACE ENGINE AT THEIR COST (UPON BUYING CAR DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I COULD ONLY GET FINANCED FOR CAR IF I PURCHASED A 24 MONTH WARRANTY WHICH I DID). THEY THEN ADVISE ME THAT THIS JOB OF JUST LOOKING INTO ENGINE IS $4,200.00 AND THAT I MUST PAY THEM THIS AMOUNT PRIOR TO THEM DOING THEIR EXPLORATORY WORK ON ENGINE. THEY TELL ME THAT IF I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE FIRE (THAT IS CRAZY TO THINK I SOMEHOW IN VERY SHORT TIME AS OWNER CAUSED CAR TO JUST CATCH FIRE OUT OF THE BLUE WHILE SITTING IN IT PARKED) THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH A USED ONE. I FEEL AS THOUGH A USED ENGINE MAY FORCE ME TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN AND I WAS FORTUNATE AS IF FIRE WERE TO TRAVEL THROUGH GAS LINE I WOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW. I BELIEVE THEY WANT TO FORCE

I WAS DRIVING AND CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE ACCELERATION. CAR THEN COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT A CAUSE. CAR WAS TOWED BY A TOW DRIVER I KNOW AND CAR HASN'T STARTED EVER SINCE. CAME TO REALIZE IT'S SHOWING CODES P0513 FOR THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM. I THEN BEGAN TO READ MORE ABOUT IT AND IT'S A MANUFACTURERS ERROR. IT'S A COMMON THING FOR DODGE AND CHRYSLER'S FROM 2005 TO 2010 TO SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON DUE TO ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM.

THE 2007 CHRYSLER 300 WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 13600 ORIGINAL MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 2 YEARS AGO, FOLLOWED BY ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS COMING ON THEN THE CAR SLOWS TO A CRAWL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAW THAT IT HAD MULTIPAL FAULTSBUT DID NOT KNOW THE CAUSE. THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED AFTER IT COOLED DOWN. SIX MONTHS LATER SAMETHING. LAST WEEK 5/07/2019 BACK TO A DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALER THIS TIME BUT HAD IT TOWED. I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS IN THAT IF ON THE FREEWAY OR OPEN ROAD AND CAN NOT PULL OVER THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION 3 TIME SO FAR AND IT IS MAKING NOISE AGAIN. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO THIS WITH AND OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. SOMETIME THE STEERING PULLS MAKING IT HARD TO STAY IN MY LANE.

DROVE THE MORNING OF (7/22/18) , PARKED CAR , 2 HOURS LATER HAD TO RUN SOME ERANDS , SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE , LOCKED IN PARK.. HAD CAR TOWED TO SHOP , PART BEING ORDERED WILL TAKE THREE DAYS , APPROXIMATE COST TO REPAIR 550.00 , MILEAGE 46700 . NEED TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT

CAME OUT OF THE STORE TO START THE CAR. IT WOULDN'T START. ENGINE MADE A COINS SHAKING IN CAN NOISE. HAD TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER, THEY ASKED IF IT HAD OVERHEATED, I SAID NO BECAUSE IT HADN'T SHOWN ANY SIGNS IT HAD. THEY SAID IT GOT SO HOT THINGS MELTED AND VALVE SEATS AND PISTONS WERE RUINED. I'VE READ ABOUT DODGE JEEP AND CHRYSLER HEMI 5.7S AND VALVE SEATS AND MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH NO SURE REASON AS TO WHY. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME DEFECT IN THE ENGINE ITSELF CAUSING THIS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY'S WON'T COVER CLAIMING BECAUSE VALVE SEATS AREN'T AN INTERNALLY LUBRICATED PART OR SOME BS REASON. NEEDS IMMEDIATELY LOOKED INTO I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MY CAR OVER IT!

CAR DIES RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, IDLING AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP, OR STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STALLED. LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY PART THAT IS MOLDED INTO THE 19 GALLON FUEL TANK BUT SAID MY CAR WASN'T COVERED. MY MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THE "ROLLOVER" VALVE IN THE TANK WAS INDEED FAULTY. HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER TWICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE FLATLY REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH THEY AGREED THAT MY CAR HAS A 19 GALLON TANK. I KNOW THAT CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE OVER 150K OF THESE FAULTY TANKS. MINE IS FAULTY ALSO BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR FOR NOW OUT OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY.

AT AROUND 106K, A VALVE SEAT BROKE AND DROPPED INTO A CYLINDER CHAMBER, DAMAGING THE CYLINDER. THE ENGINE IS A COMPLETE LOSS. NO COMPRESSION IN ONE CYLINDER AND 50 LBS DIFFERENCE IN COMPRESSION IN REMAINING SEVEN CYLINDERS. THE CAR HAD RECENTLY BEEN DRIVEN AND PARKED IN A GARAGE. ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER IT WAS STARTED, BACKFIRED AND FAILED TO IDLE. A SCOPE DETECTED AT LEAST ONE CYLINDER WAS DAMAGED. MECHANIC ASSESSMENT: NEED A COMPLETE NEW ENGINE.

OVER 2 YEARS AGO AT 108,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING WE EXPERIENCED A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED BUT THE CAR KEPT RUNNING ROUGH AND SMOKING. WE OPENED UP THE ENGINE AND A PISTON HAD FAILED AND COLLAPSED IN UPON ITSELF. WE PULLED THE ENGINE AND PERFORMED A COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AT 134,000 MILES WE HAD A SIMILAR OCCURRENCE. WE PULLED THE HEAD AND FOUND THAT CYLINDER TWO HAD DAMAGE ON THE HEAD AND CORRESPONDING LOCATIONS ON THE PISTON. COMPRESSION TEST CONFIRMED LOSS OF COMPRESSION ON CYLINDER 2. I PURCHASED A NEW HEAD AND UPON REASSEMBLY I SHOOK THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND DISCOVERED THERE WERE OBJECTS INSIDE. I WAS ABLE TO GET SOME OF THEM OUT AND THEY APPEAR TO BE PARTS OF THE VALVE SEAT FROM CYLINDER 2. I AM ATTACHING PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD AT CYLINDER NUMBER 2 AND ALSO THE FRAGMENTS THAT I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WHICH APPEAR TO BE PARTS OF THE VALVE SEAT FROM THE EXHAUST VALVE AT CYLINDER NUMBER 2. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 10 YEARS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT NEW BY MY WIFE AND HAS NEVER BEEN STRESSED RACED OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY. WE LIKE OUR CAR WHICH IS WHY I WENT THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF REBUILDING THE ENGINE 2 YEARS AGO AND HAVE GONE TO THE LENGTHS THAT I HAVE GONE TO THIS TIME. HOWEVER AFTER DISCOVERING THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS ENGINE I DON'T FEEL THAT I CAN TRUST IT ANYMORE. FURTHER I AM GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT OTHER MAKE VEHICLES AS I DON'T K

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR JUST STALLED TWICE ONCE AT A RED LIGHT AND TOOK A WHILE TO RESTART AND THEN WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN ON THE ROAD IT JUST STALLED AND AGAIN IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TIMES TO RESTART DURING IRMA I WENT OUTSIDE TO MOVE MY JEEP WRANGLER TO A SAFE SPOT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER THE HURRICANE AAA WAS ALLOWED TO COME AND TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE JEEP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE SO I LOOKED THIS UP AND REALIZED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM AND I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THERE IS RECALL BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TWICE ON THE CHRYSLER 300 AND THEY SAID NO SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE RECALLED SOON SO I CAN TAKE IT TO GET IT FIXED MY MOTHER WHO IS 91 CAN NOT GET IN MY JEEP AND USES A WALKER AND NOW IM AFRAID IF I GO FURTHER OUT OF TOWN TO THE DOCTORS THAT CAR MAY SHUTDOWN ON I75 AND AND CAUSE A REAL BIG ACCIDENT AND I'M HANDICAPPED AND ON A FIXED INCOME AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE TIPM. THIS IS 2 CARS DIFFERENT YEARS AND THE SAME THING PLZ RECALL THE TIPM FOR THE MODELS OF CARS. I WILL BE ALSO REPORTING MY JEEP BUT IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE UNDER WARRANTY

CAR OPERATED AS EXPECTED ON 7/2 AND WAS PARKED IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT. ON 7/3 OPERATOR WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR BUT OPERATOR COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE CAR IS STUCK IN PARK AND CANNOT BE SHIFTED INTO ANOTHER GEAR. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUES FOR CARS WITH A BUILD DATE FROM JUNE 25, 2007 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 21, 2007. THIS RECALL IS NAMED K39, AND THE LETTER IS ATTACHED. THE BUILD DATE OF MY CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCTOBER 11, 2006. THE SUGGESTED OVERRIDE METHOD DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE (DEPRESSING PINK LEVER ON SHIFTER ASSEMBLY).

THE INLET FLAPPER ON THE FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE ALLOWING FUEL TO OVERFLOW THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2005-2006 MODELS THAT NOW COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON FUEL TANKS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME TO REPLACE IT OR CONSUME SOME OF THE COSTS, AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS DIES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION 5 TIMES AND WONT ALWAYS RE-START. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 5-10 MINUTES, AND OTHER TIMES IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP.

NOW I'M TOLD TO PAY 6500 FOR ANOTHER ENGINE WITH MORE MILES. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THIS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER HEMI ENGINES. MY NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT MY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR.

12/5/2015 WENT TO THE MARKET, 2 MILES FROM HOME. WENT INTO THE STORE FOR APPROX. 15 MINUTES. WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR TO START IS WOULDN'T START, NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM. COULDN'T MOVE CAR SO HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, MCPEEKS DODGE OF ANAHEIM. SERVICE WRITER TOLD US THAT THE NOISE IN THE ENGINE WAS TWO VALVE SEATS DROPPED INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING CYLINDER HEAD AND BORE DAMAGE. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD OUR CAR SERVICE BY DEALER WHEN WE NEEDED OIL CHANGE, TUNE UP OR WHATEVER WAS NECESSARY FOR CAR. WE KEEP CAR IN GARAGE AND DRIVE AT POSTED SPEED AND ALWAYS KEEP OUR VEHICLE IN NEW CONDITION. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE IN OUR SEVENTIES SO WE AREN'T RECKLESS WITH OUR VEHICLES. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OF ANY ENGINE TROUBLE AND THE SERVICE WRITER COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAD HAPPENED WITH ONLY 44,612 MILES ON A 2007 VEHICLE WHICH WE BOUGHT NEW IN 2007. WE HAD TO PAY $8749.65 FOR A NEW ENGINE WHICH IS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 3 YRS OR 70,000 MILES. WE ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 5,000 MILES A YEAR. SO THIS MEANS IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN I WOULD HAVE ONLY PUT 15,000 MILES ON MY CAR IN THREE YEARS. THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG. AFTER REVIEWING ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET I FIND THAT CHRYSLER HAS ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH 2006, 2007 VEHICLES...ENGINE GOES OUT AT AROUND 70,000 MILES, OURS AT 44,612. WE PAID $42,000 FOR THE CAR NEW IN 2007. CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR OUR PROBLEM SINCE THEY KNEW THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH 300, 300C ENGINES. WE ARE OUT THE TOWING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR USING A SMALL SAVINGS W

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T GET THE NECESSARY PARTS REQUIRED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE GIVEN THIS DEALERSHIP AMPLE TIME TO REMEDY MY PROBLEM BUT STILL IT HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED. I PHONED THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT IT AND THEY VERIFIED THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T HAVE THE PART AND THEY COULDN'T GIVE A TIMELINE. SO I'M WRITING TO COMPLAIN NOW.

ENGINE STALLS VERY OFTEN EVEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY. NO MECHANIC NEITHER THE DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING, WITH NO WARNINGS ON THE DASHBOARD. IT JUST SHUT OFF. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF THE GARAGE ONE MORNING THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO KEPT IT FOR TWO DAYS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE IT. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN IT DE-ACCELERATES WHILE TURNING TO THE RIGHT. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS THE CAR ACTUALLY STOPPED. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NO PROBLEM REGISTERS AND CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED UNLESS THEY MECHANIC CAN GET IT TO DUPLICATE. NOW, THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. IT DROVE FINE, I GOT HOME PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE AND WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE AGAIN, GOT INTO THE VEHICLE TO START IT UP AND IT WILL NOT START. NO MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD. THE LIGHTS TURN ON YET IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. AT LEAST THIS TIME WHEN EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE I WAS SAFELY HOME AND NOT ON THE STREET, OR HIGHWAY DRIVING AS I HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

NO WARNINGS OR OTHER ISSUES. AFTER LOOKING THE PROBLEM UP ON THE INTERNET, SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR SEVERAL TIMES JUST SHUTTING DOWN OR ALMOST SHUTTING OFF (JERKS LIKE YOU ARE HIT AND SEEMS LIKE IT IS SHUTTING DOWN BUT THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL) WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN. USUALLY IT WILL START BACK UP QUICKLY BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED 2 TIMES BECAUSE OF IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 DIFFERENT TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DIDN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS.
