2007 Chrysler 300c complaints

GAS NOZZLE SPITS BACK FUEL AND IS VERY HARD TO FILL GAS TANK. AND AFTER FILLING CAR DIES A FEW TIMES. I KNOW THERE IS A GAS TANK ISSUE WITH THESE CARS BUT CHRYSLER SAYS THEY CANT HELP. ITS THE X53 RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED. BUT THERE PROBLEM HASN'T BEEN FIXED CAN YOU HELP ME. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (MORE NOTABLY IN MOIST WEATHER, I.E. RAIN, MORNING DEW, AND HUMIDITY) MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OFF OR VEER ON TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERROR CODES, NOR DOES IT HAVE ANY STORED CODES FROM THE OCCASIONS THAT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE HAS COME UP. THE DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND CANNOT ATTRIBUTE IT TO ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR. THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO PROVIDE ME ANY TYPE OF ADVICE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE "SUBJECT TO LEMON LAWS" AND SO FOR THAT FACT I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER IS ATTEMPTING TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO A VERY REAL, VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

CAR IS STUCK IN PARK. CANNOT MOVE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF PARK. *TR

CAR STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, ALL DASH LIGHTS LIT UP, GAUGES QUIT, CLIMATE CONTROL STOPPED, RESTARTED AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 500 FEET ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL??? *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. IT HAS A LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE PAPER WORK OF THE WARRANTY I STILL HAD TO ARGUE WITH A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER ON A COVERED PART. AFTERWARDS I STILL HAD TO PAY A $50.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT CAME WITH THIS LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. AS I READ THE COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS VEHICLE, THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE GEAR SHIFT HANDLE STICKING AND EVEN THE ONE ABOUT THE OPERATION FROM 4 TO 8 CYLINDERS I WHAT TO LEAVE THIS INFORMATION ON HERE FOR THEM. IF THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE 07 CHRYSLER 300C AND HAVE KEPT UP THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ON IT THEN THEY TO SHOULD HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THOSE REPAIRS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE POWER TRAIN. MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE HEATER. THE KNOB ALLOWS YOU TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE FROM 60 TO 88 HIGH. MY HEAT DOESN'T COME ON UNTIL IT'S TURNED ALL THE WAY UP TO HIGH AND THEN IT IS SCORCHING HOT. THERE'S NO IN-BETWEEN. IT'S EITHER COLD OR VERY HOT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND VERY AGGRAVATING. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE PAST WINTER I DIDN'T DRIVE MY 300C FOR A MONTH DO TO THE ICE AND SNOW. I LEFT IT PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE BATTERY DIED. SO I CHARGED IT AND NOW THE 3 LIGHTS, THE ANTI-LOCK BREAKS, SKID AND TRACTION WONT GO OFF. I'VE CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND EVEN HOOKED UP THE SCANNER TO CHECK FOR CODES. NO BAD FUSES AND NO BAD CODES. I'VE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE HOPING THAT MIGHT RESET WHAT EVER IS CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON

THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, POWER STEERING CUTS OFF WHEN I'M SITTING AT A LIGHT BUT ONLY AFTER I PULL OFF. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL REALLY QUICK AND START IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ONCE AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I TOLD HIM I ALMOST GOT RAMMED IN THE BACK TWICE BECAUSE IT CUTS OFF RIGHT AFTER I PULL OFF AND I HAVE A HARD TIME TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT ALSO. *TR

I HEARD A WARNING LIKE A TIRE BLOW OUT. THEN I SAW SMOKE FROM DRIVER'S SIDE.. NOTHING CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THERE WAS NO WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD AT ALL. *TR

CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE SHIFTED IN GEAR. I WAS IN A PARKED STATUS AND COULD NOT PULL THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. AAA WAS CALLED AND THEY COULD NOT TOW ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE TOWED BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET IT ON THE FLATBED. AAA DISPATCHED ANOTHER TRUCK WITH A DOLLY AND AN ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WHO WAS ABLE TO PULL THE GEAR LEVER WHILE PRESSING DOWN ON THE BRAKES TO RELEASE A PLASTIC PIN ON THE LINKAGE CABLE THAT WAS KEEPING THE LEAVER FROM MOVING. *TR

CHECK TPM SYSTEM SHOWS ON MY DASH DISPLAY EVERY 10 MINUTES AFTER I START MY VEHICLE. THIS STARTED OCCURRING AFTER I HAD MY TIRES ROTATED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRIED TO DO A BATTERY DISCONNECT AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS . THEY COULD READ ALL OF THE PRESSURES BY USING THE LITTLE WAND ON EACH TIRE. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO MAKE THEM FIX WHAT THEY BROKE, THEY SAID THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND THE WHEEL ROTATION MUST HAVE TRIGGERED SOMETHING. THEY STARTED ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS THAT THEY SAID THEY GOT FROM CONSULTING CHRYSLER LIKE "ARE YOU GOING BY A TOWER THAT COULD BE DISTRACTING YOUR SIGNAL?" I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR 7 YEARS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I AM GETTING A SIGNAL TO DISTRACT MY SYSTEM. NOT! THEY KICKED ME TO THE CURB AND TERMINATED MY REPAIR ORDER EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS OF TALKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND GENERAL MANAGER. I CONSULTED ANOTHER TIRE SERVICE COMPANY AND THEY COULD NOT TELL WHY. I AM AT A LOSS AND VERY IRRITATED FROM THE SIGNAL EVERY CAR STARTUP. I HAVE SINCE PAID TO HAVE ANOTHER TIRE ROTATION TO SEE IF I COULD CHANGE THE WAY THE SENSORS ARE READING TO THE MAIN RELAY AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE FOR NOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,768.

I DROPPED OFF MY CAR TO HAVE NEW TIRES PUT ON IT. THE SHOP CALLED ME BACK AND SAID IT MAY LEAK AIR IF THEY PUT THE ORIGINAL ALUMINUM STEM BACK IN THEY DON'T CARRY CHRYSLER PARTS SO THEY SUGGESTED USING A RUBBER STEM. THEY SAID I CAN PURCHASE ONE FROM AUTO STORE AND HAVE THE DEALER OR ANOTHER SHOP INSTALL IT. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SENSOR) WAS NOT READING ONE OF THE TIRES. THEY SAID IF IT DOESN'T WORK BY THE MORNING TO BRING IT BACK IN. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND RECEIVED A CALL 4 HRS LATER STATING THEY HAD PULLED THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SENSOR OUT OF THE TIRE THE DAY BEFORE AND LEFT IT IN MY CUP HOLDER. THEY STATED THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO THAT I NEED TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE SENSOR WORKS AND WORKED WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. (THEY HAD ROTATED MY TIRES A MONTH EARLIER AND HAD NO ISSUES REPORTED AT THAT TIME) THEY INDICATED THEY WERE HAVING AN ISSUE REMOVING THE NEEDLE FROM THE VALVE STEM SO THEY DECIDED TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE SENSOR. I AM WRITING THIS BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS ILLEGAL TO REMOVE A MANDATORY SAFETY DEVICE AND GIVE ME THE CAR BACK AND TELL ME TO HAVE ANOTHER PLACE TAKE CARE OF IT. 49 USC 30122(B). *TR

COOLING FAN SEPARATED FROM ITS ASSEMBLY WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY FROM MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THE FAN SHATTERED AND TORE INTO MY RADIATOR CREATING A MAJOR ANTIFREEZE DUMP OUT OF THE RESERVOIR. THOUGHT I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND HOWEVER THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. THERE WAS NOT ANY AUDIBLE WARNING INDICATORS OR DASH LIGHTS WARNINGS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS FAN FAILURE IN WHICH THE A/C CONTINUED BLOWING COLD AIR. WITHIN 3 MIN OF FAILURE AS I SET AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE COOLING TEMP LIGHT CAME ON. I VEERED OFF AND PULLED INTO JIFFY LUBE AND FOUND OUT I HAD A ANTIFREEZE LEAK DUE TO LOOKING AT A POOL OF RED LIQUID ON THE GROUND...THE MECHANICS POURED WATER INTO THE RESERVOIR AND WE ALL NOTICED WATER POURING RIGHT OUT....AS WE LET THE CAR COOL WE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART VEHICLE AND THE IGNITION WOULDN'T TURN ON. ....HAD MY CHRYSLER TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED A $8000 FIX WHICH INCLUDED $4000 OF IT FOR A REFURBISHED ENGINE DUE TO CYLINDER HEAD DAMAGE...THE DAMAGE ALL HAPPENED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF FAILURE.....DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THERE IS A 2006- 2008 DODGE CHARGER, DODGE MAGNUM, AND CHRYSLER 300 RECALL "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION L08 ENGINE COOLING FAN JUNE 2011". RECALL STATES THAT THE COOLING FAN FAILS AND COMES OFF IN HOT CLIMATE TEMPERATURE STATES. THIS WAS THE SAME EXACT FAILURE I HAD EXPERIENCED AND WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER I WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY SALES CODE HAD TO BE SALES CODE XDL OR XDK...SAME EXACT SITUATION HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS INCLUDING O

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME STUCK IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

RADIATOR COOLING FANS PN 24041556 CAVITY 1. THE FAN BLADES SEPARATED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND FORTUNATELY FOR US SHE WAS COMING TO A STOP. THE FAN BLADE(S) CAUSE MULTIPLE HOLES TO THE RADIATOR DISABLING THE CAR SO WE HAD THE CAR TOLLED. BOTH RADIATOR AND THE FAN ASSEMBLY WHERE DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. I CALLED CHRYSLER AT THE CS # 1-800-853-1403 ON THE RECALL NOTIFICATION ON THE WEB AT WWW.WKJEEPS.COM/MISC/LX/TSB_300C_FORUMS/CSN_L08.PDF WHICH HAS MY MAKE, YEAR AND MODEL AS PART OF THIS RECALL BUT THEY SAID THEY MY CAR DID NOT FIT THE RECALL SPECIFICS AND NO NOTICE SENT DUE TO SOME SPECIFICS WHICH THEY DID NOT TELL ME AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE TO REPAIRS THE VEHICLE ON THIS RECALL OR ANY OTHER MEANS . HOWEVER PER THE NOTICE L08 SPECIFIES THE SAME DEFECT AND RESULTS WHICH HAPPENED WITH THE FAN MY CAR WITH THIS PART. I CAN'T IMAGINE SOME KID LOOKING DOWN IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE HELPING HIS DAD AND THIS FAN BLOWS UP LIKE A PLASTIC BOMB CAUSING SERVER INJURY OR EVEN DEATH OR WHILE DRIVING AND THE DAMAGE IMPAIRS THE VEHICLE BREAK LINE OF STEERING LINE CAUSING THE CAR TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE ON A 85 MPH TOLL ROAD. THIS PART OR RECALL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REDONE TO INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE AND OR PN FOR RECALL AS WELL.

UNABLE TO GET CAR OUT OF PARK. DROVE CAR ON 5-30, RETURNED HOME PARKED CAR IN GARAGE. ON 5-31-14, WENT TO LEAVE AND CANNOT GET CAR OUT OF PARK. HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME SITUATION. MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING RESULTS. I AM CALLING THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY, CAR WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED. I HAVE READ ABOUT A K39 NOTIFICATION, BUT NO RECALL THAT I CAN FIND. IF THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL TO FIX. LUCKILY I DO HAVE A 2ND VEHICLE TO DRIVE BUT MOST PEOPLE ONLY HAVE ONE. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE CAR AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER. *TR

WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY AND IN THE SPACE OF SEVERAL SECONDS, WE LOST RPMS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE TRACTION LIGHT, THEN ALL OF THE LIGHTS, THEN IT DIED JUST AS WE GOT ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP JUST TO GET IT RUNNING ENOUGH TO RUN THE CODES. MECHANIC REPORTS THAT THERE ARE BENT VALVES AND 4 OF THE CYLINDERS ARE MISFIRING. *TR

CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. LEFT THE CAR THERE OVERNIGHT. CALLED FLAT BED THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER. CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER GOT IT OUT OF PARK AND IT DIDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM FOR THE DEALER. NOTHING FIXED JUST HAD TO PAY A TOW BILL. HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR SIX AND HALF YEARS NOW AND IT'S ONLY DONE IT THAT ONE TIME. ODD. *TR

MY VEHICLE BRAKES DID NOT WORK & OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE & WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE WAS RECALLS ON ANYTHING THEY SAID NO & I KNOW THERE WAS SOME BECAUSE A FRIEND OF MINE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE. *TR

I PARKED MY CAR AT A CVS PHARMACY DRIVE THRU TO PICK UP A PRESCRIPTION. ONCE THE TRANSACTION WAS COMPLETED I ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE AREA AND THE GEAR WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. I CALLED AAA (KEYSTONE) FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO MOVE MY CAR. UPON ARRIVAL TO MY CAR THE AAA FLEET DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM SEEMS COMMON WITH CHRYSLER-MADE VEHICLES RECENTLY. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT MY OVERRIDE BUTTON WAS BROKEN AND DID NOT WORK, THEN HE SHOWED ME HOW TO REMOVE THE GEAR SHAFT COVER TO ACCESS THE BACK UP OVERRIDE - THE GEAR RELEASE BUTTON. HE NOTED THAT HE JUST ASSISTED A DODGE CHARGER OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED I CHECK FOR ANY RECALL DATA FOR THIS ONGOING CHRYSLER PROBLEM. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED ONLINE TO LEARN THAT THERE IS A K39 RECALL FOR THE GEAR SHAFT OF 2005-2007 MODELS OF THE CHRYSLER 300. I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. ONCE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT FIT THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS AND TOLD THAT I MUST PAY TO FIX THE PART OUT OF POCKET. THIS $400 REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE RECALL, AND CHRYSLER! MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED MAY 23, 2007 AND THE "ARBITRARY" CUT OFF DATE FOR THE K39 RECALL IS JUNE 1, 2007! HOW CAN ONE - TWO WEEKS MAKE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE?!? HOW CAN 2005 MODELS BE INCLUDED YET TWO WEEKS PRIOR NOT??? IF THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND IS NOTED AS A RECALL ISSUE ALL VEHICLES THAT ENCOUNTER THE MALFUNCTION MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL!! IT SHOULD BE CLEAR T

THE OPERATER COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. *TR

DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 68 MPH AND ENGINE JUST DIE WITH OUT NOTICE. ALSO 4 OR 5 TIME ENGINE DIE AFTER ACCELERATING FROM 0 TO 5-10 MPH. ENGINE JUSY STALL WITH OUT POWER. I HAVE TO PUT CAR ON PARK AND START THE ENGINE AGAIN. *TR

JUST FILLED UP WITH PREMIUM 93 GAS. WAS HEADING TO WORK & STOPPED AT A LIGHT. CAR IDLE BECAME ROUGH. RPM'S DROPPED & THE CAR STALLED. IT TOOK 2 TRIES TO RESTART IT WHILE I WAS SITTING AT THE LIGHT WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND & IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE STARTED IT RAN FINE. NO OBD2 CODES COULD BE FOUND. IT HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. BRAND OF GAS DOESN'T MATTER. *TR

I CAME OUT OF THE STORE ON 4/24/13, PLACED MY BAGS IN THE CAR AND STARTED THE CAR. I TRIED TO SHIFT THE GEAR FROM PARK, BUT IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR WAS ON. THE GEAR SHIFT STILL DIDN'T MOVE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND TO LOOK UP A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE AND IT WOULD TELL ME HOW TO POP IT INTO GEAR. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT I HAD NO TOOLS. ONCE I GOT THE TOOLS, THE INSTRUCTION FROM THE VIDEO WORKED. MY QUESTION IS, IF THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AS THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT WAS, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED? AS SOON AS I GOT HOME AND PARKED, IT LOCKED UP AGAIN. THIS IS NOT SAFE. *TR

ONCE I STARTED MY CAR AND TRIED TO MOVE THE GEAR TO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE GEAR WOULD NOT MOVE FROM PARK POSITION. TRIED MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL THINKING IT WAS MAKING THE GEAR STICK BUT TO NO AVAIL. HAD TO EVENTUALLY CALL A TOW TRUCK WHO TOLD ME THAT WASN'T HIS FIRST CHRYSLER 300 HE'S HAD TO TOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE. HE HAD TO GET UNDER THE CAR AS WELL AS GO THRU A PANEL BESIDE THE GEARS IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO EVEN MOVE TO BE PLACED ON THE TOW TRUCK. AFTER DROPPING OFF TO THE DEALERSHIP, I RESEARCHED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THE CHRYSLER 300 2007 SERIES CAR. TURNS OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SOME OF THE CHRYSLERS BUILT FROM JUNE - SEPTEMBER 2007 FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET A RECALL TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. I GOT THE ISSUE FIXED AS WELL BUT HAD TO PAY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN MAY 2007 THAT THERE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY ISSUE AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. CLEARLY CHRYSLER IS WRONG. *TR

THE 300C SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I LEFT THE CAR PARKED AND LATER THAT EVENING, THE SHIFTER MOVED TO OTHER GEARS. THIS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES, SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER INFORMING THEM OF THE OCCURRENCES. THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT WAS A PROBLEM THAT HAD BEEN OCCURRING WITH THE 300C MODELS. *TR

THE 300C (HEMI) HESITATES WHEN PULLING OFF, STOPPING AND/OR ACCELERATING. IT IS A DANGER WHEN MERGING FROM RAMPS ON BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PULL OFF WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED; IT HESITATES, THEN TAKE OFF WITH A LOT OF POWER CAUSING THE CAR TO MOVE FARTHER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT OF THE INTENDED DIRECTION BECAUSE OF THE HEMI POWER WHEN ACCELERATION CATCHES UP. IT IS A DANGER AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR MAIMED IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY OCCURRED. *TR

THE SHIFT LEVEL IS STUCK IN PARK. WITH THE BRAKE PRESSED, IT WILL MOVE RIGHT BUT NOT DOWN INTO GEAR. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, IT WILL NOT MOVE TO THE RIGHT AT ALL. THE RECOGNITION OF THE BRAKE BE DEPRESSED APPEARS TO BE WORKING. I WAS 120 MILES FROM HOME SO I TOOK THE CONSOLE APART AROUND THE GEAR SHIFTER AND FOUND A CABLE THAT I COULD PULL BACKWARDS AND THEN WAS ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT TO DRIVE, THE SHIFT LOCK MECHANISM SEIZED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE CONTACT THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300-C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT FROM THE EIGHTH CYLINDER TO THE FOURTH CYLINDER, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE COIL AS A PRECAUTION HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO ADVISED THAT THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

CANNOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. *TR

I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND STOPPED AT A PARKING LOT, AND WHEN I STARTED TO LEAVE MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE SHIFTER BREAKS THE CAR MUST BE TOWED FOR REPAIR. JUST AFTER I CALLED THE WRECKER A PICK-UP IN THE SAME PARKING LOT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE BUSINESS TRIED TO EVACUATE THE PARKING LOT, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO LEAVE UNTIL THE WRECKER ARRIVED. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE BURNING PICK-UP THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY CAR, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DIFFERENT STORY IF I WAS PARKED NEXT TO THE PICK-UP. THE DEALER OVER-NIGHTED THE PART FROM TULSA OKLAHOMA AND REPLACED THE PART THE NEXT MORNING. WE WERE CHARGED FOR TOWING AND REPAIR. SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SHIFTER BREAKING, I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM, THUS WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED. *TR

I'VE NOTICED WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE THERE IS A NOTICEABLE DELAY. IT ALSO OCCURS WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND VISE-VERSA, THERE'S IS ALSO A PAUSE/DELAY THAT OCCURS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. NOTICEABLE WHEN TRYING TO ATTEMPT A U-TURN AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE WAITING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO CATCH. ONCE IT DOES CATCH THERE'S A INSTANT LUNGE/ACCELERATION, CAUSING EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE WHIP FLASH AND HAS CAUSED ME TO BE EXTRA VIGILANT. ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR SOME TIME I DIDN'T KNOW THE ISSUE WAS SO WIDE SPREAD. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR. UNTIL THIS HAZARD/DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED I WILL NOT CONSIDER CHRYSLER FOR MY NEXT PURCHASE. *JS

I HAD A FULL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTDOWN. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I HAD THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CHECK THE BATTERY LEVEL AND IT WAS GOOD. NO LIGHTS, POWER, NOTHING. RPM & SPEEDOMETER WERE STILL PEGGED AT THE LEVEL THEY WERE AT WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. *TR

MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300C HAS A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I RECEIVED THE DOCUMENT LISTING THE PARTS COVERED FOR THE LIFETIME WARRANTY. MY ABS, ESP AND TCS LIGHTS CAME ON. THE RIGHT REAR SPEED SENSOR WENT BAD. I CALLED GRAVEN AND SET UP APPOINTMENT FOR WARRANTY WORK. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO GRAVEN CHRYSLER, 10-10-11 AT APPROX. 2:30PM. GRAVEN CHRYSLER CALLED THE NEXT MORNING, 10-11-11 7:53AM MY CAR WAS READY. GRAVEN SAID IT WAS GOING TO COST $135. I SAID THAT THE WORK WAS WARRANTY. GRAVEN SAID IT WASN'T WARRANTY WORK BECAUSE PART NUMBER DOESN'T COME BACK AS WARRANTY. I EXPLAINED TO THE ASSISTANT THAT IT IS WARRANTY, THAT MY CAR HAS A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. SHE SAID THAT ONLY COVERS THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND DRIVELINE. I SAID IT ALSO COVERS A LOT OF OTHER PARTS WHICH I HAVE A LIST OF. SHE THEN SAID, YOU WILL HAVE TO TALK WITH CHRYSLER AND THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO. CHRYSLER SAID I HAVE TO PAY A $50.00 CO-PAY. I SAID WHY SHOULD I PAY A CO-PAY WHEN THIS PART HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD I CAN PAY THE $50.00 OR $185. I SAID THAT I WAS TOLD IT WAS $135. I SAID FOR NOW I WILL PAY THE $50.00 BUT WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT FOR THE WARRANTY AND GETTING MY $50.00 BACK. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHRYSLER. I WAS ASKED HOW MY CAR WAS RUNNING. I SAID IT DROVE HOME OK. SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD CLOSE THE CASE THEN. I SAID THAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MADE ME PAY $50.00 CO-PAY WHEN THE PART IS LISTED ON THE PAPERWORK AS HAVING A LIFETIME WA

PROBLEM # 1--2007 CHRYSLER 300 HEMI ENGINE SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE BRAKE SHIFTER COMPONENT. RECENTLY THE CAR LOCKED IN PARK, AND COULD NOT BE TAKEN OUT OF PARK WITHOUT USING A SCREWDRIVER TO RELEASE IT AFTER REMOVING THE DRIVE SHIFTER PANEL. PROBLEM #2--RECENTLY, THE CAR STARTED TO LOOSE POWER ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MY SPEED WAS 60 MPH AND DROPPING. AFTER ALLOWING THE CAR TO COAST IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE THE CAR REGAINED POWER WITHOUT ANY ACTION ON MY PART OTHER THAN ALLOWING THE CAR TO COAST FOR A MINUTE. PROBLEM # 3--THIS PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS WHEN SHIFTING FROM NEUTRAL TO REVERSE. THE CAR STALLS OUT AND WILL NOT RESPOND. THE CAR MUST BE SHUT OFF AND BACK ON TO ALLOW IT TO RESET THEN THE CAR WILL MOVE BACKWARD ONCE PUT BACK INTO REVERSE. MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 79,000 MILES APPROX.. NEVER AGAIN WILL I PURCHASE A CHRYSLER PRODUCT. NEVER! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM THE PARK POSITION. THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON I-95 AT 70 MPH IN SOUTH CAROLINA. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND OVER 100 MILES TO EMPTY. THE OBD LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN (5-10 MPH). I WAS ABLE TO ROLL IT OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. GAS GAUGE INDICATED A 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND SAT FOR15 MINUTES. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT ACTED AS THOUGH IT HAD NO GAS. HOWEVER, THE GAUGE SHOWED A 1/4 TANK FULL. VEHICLE WAS TOWED (AAA) TO AN EXXON STATION IN GABLE, SC. FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE TANK AND THE CAR COULD BE STARTED. THE ADDITION OF $25.00 OF FUEL (6 GALLONS?) DID NOT MOVE THE GAUGE FROM THE 1/4 TANK LEVEL. AN ADDITIONAL $25 FUELING BROUGHT THE GAUGE ALMOST UP TO FULL. I DROVE IT ROUGHLY 500 MILES FROM SC TO MD WITHOUT INCIDENT. HOWEVER, I DID NOT ALLOW FUEL LEVEL TO DROP BELOW 1/2.

MY 2007 CHRSLER 300C WAS DRIVEN YESTERDAY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. IT WAS PARKED IN OUR CARPORT AND NOW THE TRANSIMISSION FLOOR SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED CHRYSLERS SATIFICATION NOTIFICATION K39, THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK. I FIND THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2007 AND THE RECALL ONLY COVERS VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN JUNE TO SEP 2007.

MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300 IS STUCK IN PARK , I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY , BUT IS DOES HAPPEN ALOT. THE PROBLEM IS VERY TO BE INTERNAL TO THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. THERE IS A PINK PLASTIC ARM WHERE THE IGNITION INTERLOCK CABLE ATTACHES IN THE SHIFTER. THIS ARM IS SPRING LOADED AND CAN EVENTUALLY BREAK. WHEN IT DOES THEN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER FROM PARK BECAUSE THE SHIFTER DOESN'T KNOW THE KEY IS TURNED ON. THE DEALERSHIP WANT TO CHARGE TO KEEP REPLACING IT WHICH MIND YOU IS NOT COVER UNDER WARRENTY. I HAVE TALKED TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ALSO. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER 300 C. FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM DOING. IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. IT TAKES ME PULLING OFF THE ROAD IF I CAN, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT. RECENTLY I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER FOR I THINK THE THIRD TIME AND THEY REPLACED THE ECU. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS AND YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING IN INTERSTATE DRIVING WHEN IT SHUT DOWN DOING 70 MILES HOUR. BARELY AVOIDING A SEMI FROM RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. IT HAPPENED TWICE WITH IN A 500 MILE DRIVE. VERY DANGEROUS. ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO IT HAPPENED ON A SIDE STREET AND I PULLED OVER AND IT STARTED UP FINE. WROTE IT OFF AND WENT ON. THIS IS VERY BAD. I AM GOING BACK TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND FIND OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE. NO WARNING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT SEEMS CHRYSLER HAS NO ANSWER BUT TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER. *TR

MY SPOUSE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK IN THE MORNING, DROVE THE VEHICLE AT LUNCH AND UPON LEAVING HER WORK FOR THE DAY, ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WOULD START, HOWEVER THE GEAR SELECTOR WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. EVEN USING THE OVERRIDE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CONSOLE WOULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORM THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM STATING, "IT IS VERY COMMON, AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AS IT IS A MECHANICAL LINKAGE, NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR DRIVETRAIN." THE DEALERSHIP ALSO RELATED THE PROBLEM MAY OCCUR AGAIN. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR (APPROXIMATELY $300.00) PLUS THE COST OF A RENTAL FOR THE DAY. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED AGAIN SINCE THE REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR REMAINED STUCK IN PARK. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE HE WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR ANY REPAIRS. THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,549.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE THE VEHICLE PARKED, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000.

MY CAR A CHRYSLER 300C WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. WENT ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM SINCE 2005.....WHY HAS CHRYSLER NOT REPAIR THIS PROBLEM?????? *TR

I HAVE ALSO PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SHIFTED!! ANOTHER COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THAT WHEN DRIVING IN TOWN AND THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND THE FUEL SAVER MODE THEIR IS A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION BETWEEN 45 AND 52 KILOMETRES PER HOUR!! THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IF IT IS NOT IN THE FUEL SAVER MODE OR WHEN YOU MANUALLY SHIFT IT INTO 4!! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THE PRESENT MOMENT BUT TO GET BACK TO THEM IF IT GETS ANY WORSE!! I HAVE 76000KMS ON MY CAR NOW AND THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN AROUND 70000 KMS!! I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I KEEP MY DEALER INFORMED OF ANY PROBLEMS SO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT BEFORE MY WARRANTY GOES OFF!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 CHRYSLER 300C WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI-SEAL TIRES, SIZE P225/60/R18, DOT#AF7D3RX. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS EXAMINING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES SHOWED SIGNS OF PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. HE TOOK THE TIRES TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO TREAD WEAR. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 28,000.

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. WHEN I AM PUSHING ON THE GAS IT HESITATES ON GOING, SOMETIMES IT WILL HESITATE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN JERK HARD. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A WHILE! IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I GOT THE CAR AND IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT NOW. WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALER ALWAYS SAID IT WAS NO PROBLEM, NOW THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO THE TORQUE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ALSO UPDATED CODES AND THAT DID NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND I SHOULD NOT BE DEALING WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER 300C - EXPERIENCED THREE (3) SEPARATE INCIDENTS OF ACCELERATOR FAILURE. ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT FUNCTIONING WHEN PRESSED DOWN. ALL THREE INCIDENTS OCCURRED IN COLD WEATHER SPREAD OUT OVER 18 MONTH TIME SPAN. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT FUNCTION. CHRYSLER DEALER CHECKED OUT VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT FIND AN ERROR CODE, WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND ENDED UP TAKING NO CORRECTIVE ACTION. EACH TIME I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WORKED FINE AGAIN AFTER RESTARTING. FORTUNATELY EACH INCIDENT OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED AND WAS CONTROLLABLE. PROBLEM WOULD BE VERY SERIOUS IF IT OCCUR DURING ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE INTO HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC SUCH AS AN INTERSTATE ON RAMP. *TR
