2006 CHRYSLER 300 Electrical System Problems

i’ve been reading about the issues regarding the lights exterior/interior-so many customer complaints about how over the past few decades problems with the interior (dash) and exterior lights blinking, dimming & “ completely going out” while of course driving-how hasn’t this major issue been addressed & recalled, this is a VERY DANGEROUS & SERIOUS PROBLEM, I am currently experiencing this while on the road at night-what can be done? Our safety is at risk!!

My vehicle has experienced ecm/ throttle body issues, lights flickering hard to drive vehicle at night because the lights aren't working properly. Transmission and motor problems. Why isn't the electrical issues on recall? I've been on several forums with hundreds of electrical issue complaints. This is not fair

I WENT TO THE GAS STATION, 2-ISH MILE DRIVE AND CAME BACK HOME. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER WE DECIDED TO GO SEE MY MOTHER IN LAW, 34 HIGHWAY MILES AWAY. COOL, SO WE GO, EVERYTHING IS FINE, BEASTIE (THAT'S THE NAME OF MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300), IS RUNNING GOOD, MY HUSBAND AND 3YR OLD ARE JAMMIN OUT TO METALLICA, AND WE GET TO MY MOTHER IN LAWS HOUSE.. STAY A COUPLE HOURS AND DECIDED TO HEAD HOME.. SO WE SAY BYE ECT ECT.. WE GET ABOUT 9.5 MILES DOWN OUR 34 MILE RIDE HOME... AWW CRAP, THERE IS A TRACTOR ON THE ROAD, SO WE GO TO PASS HIM... OR SO WE THOUGHT... MAKE SURE COAST IS CLEAR, TURN ON BLINKER AND STEP ON THE GAS PETAL MORE FIRMLY.. OK IN THE OTHER LANE.. AND BAM!! CAR DIES IN MOTION AT 60 MPH!! MY HUSBAND JUST CASUALLY SAYS "HEY BABE, I THINK THE CAR JUST DIED" AND I LOOK LIKE "HAHA WHATEVER" AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.. SO WE PULL OVER AND TRY TO GET IT STARTED, HAD MY MIL COME JUMP US.. AN HOUR LATER AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE BEASTIE STARTED.. NO CLICKING, NO NOTHING.. SO UNFORTUNATELY BEASTIE HAD TO SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE NEXT DAY... THE NEXT DAY WE GOT HER TOWED TO MY MILS HOUSE... THAT WAS 3 DAYS AGO... AND BEASTIE STILL HASN'T STARTED UP FOR ME...

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE ABS HUB (COMPLETE AXLE) DUE TO RUST/ROTTING. WHEN THE ABS RING RUST OR ROTS, THE ABS MODULE BECOMES CONFUSED AND ACTIVATES INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES LOCKED INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I STOPPED THINKING THAT IT WOULD RESET SOMETHING BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP ONCE AGAIN AND NOW I'VE HAD TO PAY OVER $1,000 FOR THE REAR AXLES AND NOW $1,000 FOR THE FRONT. AXLES HAVE TO BE REPLACED EACH TIME. THESE RINGS SHOULD NOT SIMPLY ROT AND CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION!

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAIT FOR A MINUTE OR SO AND IT TURNS BACK ON AFTER RESTART IT.. INITIALLY IT WAS ONLY DOING THIS AS I WAS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY. THEN AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AT THE STOP LIGHT. IT PROGRESSED TO TURNING OFF AS I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE AND THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AT THE LEAST. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE STREET WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE CAR TURNS OFF. IN A STRETCH OF FIVE MILES, IT HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE APRIL 3 AND THE DEALER STILL CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, THEN THE SPARK PLUGS. THEY STILL HAVE IT AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT A FEW OF THE SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MY CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED. NO HEIP! I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE GEAR SHIFT GETTING STUCK IN DRIVE. AFTER GOING ONTO A CHRYSLER FORUM WHERE MANY OTHER 300 CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING I FOUND A QUICK FIX TO ALLOW ME TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP USING A SCREW DRIVER. LONG STORY BUT YES I HAD TO STICK A SCREW DRIVE INTO THE GEAR BOX TO RELEASE THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND OUT REPAIR COST $175 I WAS INFORMED MY VIN WASN'T A PART OF THE RECALL! NEXT ISSUE THE COOLING FANS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I WAS GETTING SOME FOOD AT DRIVE THRU. AS SOON AS I DRIVE IN LINE I HEARD A LOUD BANG ONE OF THE FANS MOUNTS BECAME LOOSE AND THE FAN BLADES HIT TO SIDE WALL AND BROKE. $500 LATER TO REPLACE AND YES AGAIN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT BUT NOT MY VIN!!!! FINAL STRAW MY SON AND I WHERE DRIVING HOME FROM A GAME IT WAS RAINING. BOTH OF US NOTICE THE SMELL OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENT IT WAS FAINT BUT CONSISTENT. WE LUCKILY DIDN'T HAVE FAR TRAVEL HOME. WHEN I PULLED IN AND TURNED THE CAR OFF I OPENED THE HOOD A LIL BIT SMOKE AND BECAUSE THE RAIN WAS HITTING THE ENGINE IT MADE A LIL BIT MORE OF SMOKE. SO I CLOSED IT AND WENT INSIDE. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED BOTH THE PASSENGER HEAD LIGHT AND FOG LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING. I CHECKED THE FUSES, GOOD. WENT UP TO GET REPLACEMENT BULBS. THE EMPLOYEE AT THE STORE HAD A [XXX] OF A TIME TRYING TO REMOVING THE LIGHT FROM THE HARNESS. WE NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC WAS MELTED AND DIS COLORED. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOT A LOOK AT THE FOG LIGHT HARNESS IT WAS FACTORY FOGS AND THE HARNESS WAS MELTED BLACK PLASTIC. SO I HAD TO ORDER REPLACEMENT FOG LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS $475. IM THANKFUL WE WHERE BLESSED THAT THE CAR DIDN'T FULLY CATCH FIRE BECAUSE NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD REPLACE MY SON!! THERE IS 3 MORE ELECTRIC ISSUES AT THIS TIME!

WHILE DRIVING APP 55 MPH AT APP 8PM AT NIGHT MY CARS LIGHTS AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON FLASHERS AND COAST THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SAT THERE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN THE CAR RESTARTED. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONE FOLLOWING BEHIND ME. I HAVE BEEN OUT OF TOWN ON BUSINESS AND USED A COMPANY CAR. UPON MY RETURN I TOOK MY CAR TO OUR LOCAL SHOP TODAY. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT ANY PROBLEMS, HOWEVER SHARED AN ARTICLE STATING MORE THAN 150,000 CHRYSLER OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR TROUBLE. THEY CONTACTED THE NEAREST DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALER IN ABERDEEN WASHINGTON WHO OFFERED NO HELP OR INFORMATION. THEY COULD GIVE NO REASON FOR THE INCIDENT. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE, NOR INFORMATION REGARDING ANY POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. HOW SHOULD I PROCEED? I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I MAY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE. THIS HAS CREATED A SIGNIFICANT BURDEN AND STRESS. IT SEEMS SOMEONE SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE AND THAT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY BY NOT BEING NOTIFIED OF THIS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. IS THIS AN ISSUE I NEED MY ATTORNEY TO ADDRESS?

I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THESE 300S WITH HEMIS ARE DEATH TRAPS WAITING TO HAPPEN AND STRONGLY FEEL THAT A RECALL IS NECESSARY. IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JULY, 2013 BUT THE LATEST WAS LAST WEEK, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 2014 AT ABOUT 11:30PM. MY HUSBAND, MY 6 MO BABY, AND MYSELF HAD JUST FILLED UP THE GAS TANK ON OUR WAY HOME. WE WERE MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND ONTO THE MAIN ROAD, WHEN THE CAR WENT COMPLETELY DEAD. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND, AFTER ABOUT 3 ATTEMPTS AND A GOOD 20 SECONDS OR SO, HE FINALLY GOT THE CAR STARTED. IT SPURTED A LITTLE BUT STARTED TO MOVE. ABOUT A MILE LATER, WE WERE PULLING ONTO OUR STREET, WHEN THE CAR DIED AGAIN AND DID THE EXACT SAME THING. LUCKY FOR US THERE WEREN'T MANY CARS ON THE STREET AND EVERYONE WAS ALRIGHT BUT THIS IS NOT SAFE! THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS GOING FULL SPEED, AT LEAST 45 MPH!! SOMEONE CAN DIE! AFTER THIS LATEST INCIDENT, I'VE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO IT'S UNRELIABILITY AND OUR CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 2 DAYS-GOING ON 3. IT TOOK THE SERVICE MANAGER 2 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT IT'S A FAULTY GAS TANK AND THAT'S AFTER WE TOLD HIM ABOUT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION, ACTION NUMBER: PE13016, WHICH JUST ENDED, FEBRUARY 10, 2014. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER EXTENDED IT'S WARRANTY TO COVER GAS TANKS FOR A LIFETIME BUT, NOT FOR ALL CHRYSLER 300S! WE ARE BEING CHARGED $1,905 FOR OUR GAS TANK TO BE REPLACED, WHICH SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON OUR FUEL TANK BUT I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY ATTACHED TO OUR VIN. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED AND RECALL ALL GAS TANKS OR AT LEAST EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO COVER MORE, IF NOT ALL CHRYSLER 300S!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF, DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AND WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED LIGHTING UP AND BLINKING ON THE DASH. IN ADDITION, THE GAUGES ALL DROPPED TO ZERO AND THEN RETURNED AFTER A FEW SECONDS. EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER A FEW SECONDS EXCEPT THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS RETURNED WHEN SWITCHED TO ON INSTEAD OF AUTO (IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE). THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AT 60MPH. AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN, I RESTARTED IT AND THE HEADLIGHTS WORKED PROPERLY IN THE AUTO SETTING AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM REPLICATED ITSELF 2 WEEKS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT. AGAIN, HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR SHUT-OFF AND STARTED BACK UP ON IT'S OWN WHEN I WAS STARTING FROM A RED LIGHT. GOING UP THE NEXT HILL IT DID IT AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS IT WOULD DO THIS AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND DIFFERENT SPEEDS. AT TIMES IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP ON IT'S OWN I HAD TO TURN THE KEY. EVENTUALLY, IT STARTING SHUTTING OFF AT THE GARAGE I SENT IT TO WHILE BEING RUN ON MACHINES. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT REQUIRED A NEW COMPUTER BE PUT IN. I AM FILING THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE FOR THE 2007 MODEL OF THE SAME CAR THERE WAS A RECALL AND FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE COMPUTER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY AN CHRYSLER MAINTENANCE WORKER THAT THE REASON THE 2007 WAS COVERED WAS THAT THE SUB-CONTRACTOR FOR THAT YEAR WAS PARTICIPATING WITH CHRYSLER TO PAY FOR THE RECALL OR PAYING IT THEMSELVES. HOWEVER, THE SUB-CONTRACTOR FOR THE 2006 MODEL WAS NOT. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR END PRODUCT AND SHOULD PAY FOR MY NEW COMPUTER AND INSTALLATION. THIS WORK COST ME OVER $2,100 FOR A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT. MY MECHANIC WAS TOLD BY ONE CHRYSLER DEALER THAT THERE JUST HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH 2006 MODELS WITH THE 2007 ISSUE TO WARRANT A RECALL. THEY EVEN PROVIDED THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC TO INSTALL THE COMPUTER AND RESET IT FOR THE SHOP I HAD THE WORK PERFORMED. *TR

MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. NO ENGINE, NO PS AND NO BRAKES. NO CODE OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO WITH A 300 HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, NO MATTER WHAT THE YEAR OR ENGINE. LIKE MOST THERE IS NO SENSE TAKING IT TO DEALER. THEY JUST SAY NO CODE AND GIVE YOU SOME BS STORY ABOUT WHAT CAUSED IT. NO COME UP WITH A FIX. CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND WON'T MAN UP AND FIX IT. THEY WOULD RATHER SOMEONE DIE FIRST TO SAVE MONEY. IT HAS TO BE IN THE COMPUTER. JUST LIKE TOYOTA AND THEIR FLY BY WIRE THROTTLE THAT WAS CAUSING ALL THE CRASHES.

ALL EQUIPMENT ON THE DASHBOARD SHUT DOWN FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I WAS GOING SOMEWHERE AROUND 55 MPH, AND TRYING TO STAY WITH TRAFFIC, I COULD NOT TELL MY SPEED, THE RPM READ ZERO, THE GAS LEVEL READ EMPTY, AND MY SPEED READ ZERO. THEN ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND ALL WAS NORMAL AGAIN. THIS REPEATED MAYBE 4-5 TIMES IN A ROW. OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES, ON FOR MAYBE A MINUTE, THEN BACK OFF. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL OF THIS HAPPENING MOMENTARILY (MAYBE LASTING A SECOND) SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET IT TO HAPPEN FOR THEM, SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR IT. THIS ISSUE HAS NOW ESCALATED TO A POINT THAT I FEEL IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT CONTINUES, OR GETS WORSE. *TR

I CAME OUT AND PUT SOME BELONGINGS INTO THE VEHICLE AND WENT BACK INSIDE OF MY OFFICE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES. WHEN I RETURNED TO GET INTO MY VEHICLE, IT HAD JUMP INTO REVERSE AND WAS GOING BACKWARDS INTO TRAFFIC. THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC DODGED THE VEHICLE BY GOING AROUND IT. IT FINALLY LANDED INTO A DITCH OF WATER. LOTS OF WATER DAMAGE, AND DAMAGE TO THE BODY. NO ONE WAS HURT, BECAUSE NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE. MAY VEHICLE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE.

I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND DIDN'T SEE ANY CODE INDICATING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THE LIGHT WAS RESET AND THE CAR WAS RETURN TO ME. I DROVE IT AGAIN FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME NOV 23 2006. I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND TOOK THE CAR IN. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE TECH STARTED THE CAR HE DIDN'T SEE THE LIGHT ON. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR HOME. WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 1500 MILES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE THE FEELING THE DEALERSHIP IS JUST RESETTING THE LIGHT AND NOT TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOTICE ON YOUR SITE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 300 TOURING. *JB
