2007 CHRYSLER 300 Power Train Problems

The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. The contact's granddaughter was a passenger in the vehicle. The check engine warning light and the Electronic Throttle Control warning light were illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the engine revved abnormally, and the vehicle started to move forward independently. The contact depressed the brake pedal to the floorboard. The contact used force to depress the brake pedal. The contact stated that after a while, the vehicle returned to function as intended; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, the brake pedal and accelerator pedal needed to be simultaneously depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the PCV vacuum hose had failed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The contact's brother inspected the vehicle and noticed that the PCV vacuum hose was not connected to the upper intake manifold and that the hose had a two-inch split at one of the ends of the hose. The contact's brother reconnected the hose. The contact stated that the dealer was supposed to have replaced the hose. The failure was progressively worsening, and the vehicle was no longer being driven. The manufacturer was notified of the failure via certified mail. The failure mileage was 174,862.

AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING AT WORK FOR ABOUT 10 HOURS, I FOUND THAT I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK. THE SHIFTER WAS LOCKED UP, AND WOULD NOT MOVE INTO GEAR. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE, AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN UNDER DESIGNED PLASTIC PIECE IN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY LOCATED UNDER THE SHIFT KNOB THAT WAS KNOWN TO BREAK AND CAUSE THIS ISSUE. I HAD TO TEAR APART MY CENTER CONSOLE AND USE A SCREW DRIVER TO MANUALLY PULL ON A CABLE IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE SHIFTER AND ALLOW ME TO GET OUT OF PARK. HAD I NOT HAD THE CORRECT TOOLS IN MY VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK. I HAD THE PART REPLACED, BUT EXPERIENCED A SECOND OCCURRENCE ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER. THIS TIME I FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS STUCK IN GEAR. I WAS FREELY ABLE TO MOVE BETWEEN DRIVE, NEUTRAL, AND REVERSE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER INTO PARK. TO ADD TO THE HEAD ACHE, BECAUSE THE TOURING EDITION HAS A SLAP STICK FUNCTION (SIMILAR TO A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR), PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR DOES NOT CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO LOCK UP. THIS FACT, COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT THE PARKING BRAKE DID NOT SUPPLY SUFFICIENT STOPPING POWER TO HOLD THE CAR AT A STANDSTILL ON EVEN A MILD GRADE SLOPE, I WAS UNABLE TO SECURE THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AWAY UNLESS ON A COMPLETELY FLAT SURFACE. I HAD TO PLACE WOOD BLOCKS UNDER THE WHEELS TO AVOID THE CAR FROM ROLLING AWAY. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 CHRYSLER 300 IN 2008. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 86,000 MILES ON IT. BEFORE IT REACHED 100,000 MILES THE PROBLEMS HAD ALREADY STARTED. FIRST THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND ANOTHER LIGHT LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY PANEL CAME ON. MY CAR WAS LOCKING ME OUT AT ANY MOMENT. FIRST I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY FAULT BUT IT HAPPENED TWICE TO ME WHILE MY CAR WAS RUNNING AND MY KEYS IN THE IGNITION!! WELL, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, " I KNOW I DIDN'T HIT THE LOCK BUTTON BEFORE I GOT OUT OF MY CAR, SO WHEN IT HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME I WENT HOME AND SIT IN MY GARAGE AND I SAT AND WATCHED. ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ALL BY ITSELF AND ON THE OUTSIDE WITH MY KEYS WATCHING THIS THINKING "I WAS RIGHT"!!!! WELL NOT ONLY WAS THE CAR ACTING CRAZY, IT STARTED ACTING UP WHEN I PULL OUT OF ANY ROAD LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, AND I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF, "I AM EVENTUALLY GOING TO GET RAN OVER BECAUSE MY CAR WONT GO!!!! DURING THESE INCIDENTS THE ABS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WOULD COME ON THEN GO OFF AND COME BACK ON AGAIN. I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS GOING TO DO. CERTAIN TIMES GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT WOULD DO THE SAME THING AND IT WAS ACTING LIKE THE WHEELS WAS GOING TO LOCK UP!!! UNTIL THIS VERY DAY, 08-05-2014 IT STILL HAS THESE PROBLEMS. I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT IT AND ILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER OR DODGE EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FINALLY MADE THE CALL AFTER 6 YEARS OF THIS CRAP AND THE LADY I SPOKE TO SAYS, "THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR CAR. WELL CHRYSLER!!??

I HAD DRIVEN MY CAR HOME FROM WORK, I WAS ON THE STREET I LIVE ON AND WAITING FOR AN AMBULANCE TO CLEAR THE ENTRANCE TO MY DRIVE WAY SO I COULD PARK. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AT THE DIRECTION OF THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM, ONCE THE EMERGENCY VEHICLE HAD CLEARED THE ENTRANCE I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT MY CAR BACK IN TO DRIVE, OR REVERSE. IT WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO MOVE MY VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD IN ORDER NOT TO BLOCK TRAFFIC, I WAS ALSO SLIGHTLY IN THE LANE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES AT THE TIME (I LIVE IN AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY, IT IS NORMAL FOR THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO BE PRESENT ON AND AROUND THE PROPERTY AND THEY OFTEN DIRECT OTHER VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL FLOW OF TRAFFIC.) AFTER THIS INCIDENT I FOUND CHRYSLER HAD RECALLED SEVERAL VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AS MINE. HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE LIST, EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, CHRYSLER CLAIMED THIS TO BE COINCIDENTAL. HAD MY VEHICLE BEEN HIT WHILE BLOCKING TRAFFIC, WOULD CHRYSLER THEN FIX THIS ISSUE? WOULD THE GOVERNMENT REQUIRE THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IF SOMEONE DOES GET HURT? WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRODUCT THAT HAS CLEARLY HAD THE SAME DEFECT THEY ALREADY KNOW EXISTS? I AM APPALLED THAT THEY CAN KNOWINGLY HAVE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND CLAIM IT TO BE COINCIDENTAL. ON TOP OF THAT, THEY PROFIT FROM SELLING THE REPLACEMENT PART, THE LABOR AND THEY DON'T COVER THE TOWING EXPENSE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. DIDN'T OUR TAX DOLLARS RECENTLY GO TO A BAIL OUT? WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A COMPANY THAT WANTS TO ENSURE THEIR PRODUCTS ARE SAFE AND OPERATING IN A CORRECT MANNER. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

I HAVE OWNED TWO CHRYSLER 300'S BOTH BEING THE MODEL YEAR 2007 AND BOTH HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR SHIFT GETTING STUCK IN PARK. LEAVING TO TAKE MY SON TO SUMMER SCHOOL THIS MORNING AND COULD NOT GET MY CAR OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. HAD TO BREAK INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE AND USE A SCREWDRIVER TO GET THE CAR IN DRIVE. "UNFORTUNATELY" I KNEW HOW TO DO THIS BECAUSE THE 2007 MODEL THAT I OWNED THREE YEARS AGO DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUT MY PARKING BRAKE DOWN WHEN EVER I PARK MY CAR BECAUSE IF I PLACE IT IN PARK I WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE STEPS AGAIN TO UNLOCK IT. HUGE ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT THE REPLACEMENT PIECE HAPPENS TO BE MEDAL. SO I ASK WHY WOULD CHRYSLER GO THE CHEAP ROUTE AND PLACE A PLASTIC PIECE IN ALL OF THE VEHICLES (THAT COST A PRETTY PENNY) INSTEAD OF DOING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND HAVING THE MEDAL PIECE IN IT FROM THE START. SOUNDS LIKE A WAY TO GET CUSTOMERS TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND SPEND MORE MONEY. HORRIBLE BUSINESS ETHICS AND DUE TO THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO ME TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE VEHICLES I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER JEEP OR DODGE AGAIN! *TR

THE CAR COULDN'T BE TAKEN OUT OF PARK. FINALLY BROKE INTO THE SHIFTER LEVER BY REMOVING THE COVERS (VERY TRICKY TO DO, AS I DIDN'T HAVE MY TOOLS), SO MY HUSBAND WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME PICK ME UP AN HOUR AWAY. I ALMOST DIDN'T FIGURE THIS OUT, SO LUCKY FOR ME I KEPT TRYING IT. THERE ARE LOTS (MANY, MANY) SITES THAT TALK ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON CHRYSLER 300S, INCLUDING YOUTUBE (WHICH SHOWS HOW TO UNSCREW THE WHOLE THING), AND AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS. THERE ARE SOME SMALL NEON PINK PLASTIC PIECES THAT KEEP THE SHIFTER LEVER WORKING PROPERLY, THE ONLY THING KEEPING THE CAR FROM BECOMING A GIANT PAPERWEIGHT (UNLESS ONE KNOWS TO PULL APART THE COVERS ALL THE WAY TO ACCESS THE GEARS/WIRES - NOT A REASONABLE THING TO EXPECT FROM MOST CONSUMERS). FOR NOW, I HAVE TO PULL A WIRE TO GET OUT OF PARK. HAPPENS WHEN PUT IN REVERSE ALSO. THIS ALSO LEADS TO PPL KEEPING THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE INSTEAD OF GOING INTO PARK, JUST SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO MESS WITH THE WIRE. WE HAVE PEOPLE ACCIDENTALLY GOING FORWARD AND HITTING THINGS AS THEY TRY TO STAY IN DRIVE RATHER THAN PUTTING IT INTO PARK, WHILE TALKING TO SOMEONE THEY KNOW ON THE STREET/SIDEWALK AND FORGETTING TO KEEP THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, (BE IT AT A SLOW SPEED, BUT STILL NOT GOOD IF CHILDREN GET IN THE WAY WHILE ONE ISN'T PAYING ATTENTION). I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO DEALER TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DOWN ABOUT IT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM FOR ANYONE RELYING ON THEIR CAR BEING ABLE TO DO SIMPLE THINGS LIKE SHIFT INTO DRIVE (OR REALLY ANYTHING OTHER THAN 'PARK'), AND IS A SAFETY RISK DUE TO DRIVERS ATTEMPTING TO USE THE CAR. WHAT COULD HAVE DISTURBED THESE PLASTIC PIECES IS MY MILE LONG DIRT DRIVEWAY THAT IS A LITTLE BUMPY AND VERY WET CURRENTLY. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE ON THIS, SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T GO THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID. THANK YOU! *TR

VEHICLE CRANKS JUST FINE, BUT I CANNOT SHIFT IT FROM 'PARK' INTO ANY OTHER GEAR - IT IS LOCKED IN 'PARK'. INTERNET SEARCHES IDENTIFY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL CHRYSLER VEHICLES; THE PROBLEM IS A CHEAP, PLASTIC, "PINK" SHIFT INTERLOCK MECHANISM THAT BREAKS. ALTHOUGH APPARENTLY COMMON, CHRYSLER HAS NOT INITIATED A RECALL FOR THIS PART. I TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGERS AT TWO DIFFERENT REGIONAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS AND THEN CALLED THE CHRYSLER '800' NUMBER TO COMPLAIN. THEY ALL TOLD ME THE SAME THING - I AM ON MY OWN IN REPAIRING THIS PART; IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY NOR RECALL. HOWEVER, MY SMALL TOWN SERVICE MANAGER SAYS HE FIXES 2-3 OF THESE CHRYSLER PROBLEMS EVERY WEEK (AT OWNERS EXPENSE SINCE THEY CAN'T TAKE IT THE 30 MILES TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP), AND HE IS SURE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART. HE REPLACES THE BROKEN SHIFT INTERLOCK MECHANISM WITH THE REDESIGNED CHRYSLER PART!

A FEW DAYS AGO MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300 WAS STUCK IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOPPING CENTER LOT ON A HOT AZ DAY. THE TOW TRUCK SAID THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM HE GETS CALLS FOR MOST WITH CHRYSLERS. HE SAID THAT HE CARRIES A SPECIAL TOOL TO GET THEM OUT OF PARK. HE SAID IT IS A LITTLE PLASTIC PINK PIECE THAT BREAKS. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY NEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. WHEN RESEARCHING IT ON THE INTERNET I TYPED IN GOOGLE CHRYSLER 300 AND THE FIRST THING THAT POPPED UP WAS "CHRYSLER 300 STUCK IN PARK" IN THE SEARCH ENGINE. THE CASHIER STATED IT HAPPENS FAR TO MUCH AND SHE WISHED CHRYSLER WOULD DO A RECALL. IT WAS THREE HUNDRED AND SOME ODD DOLLARS TO REPAIR SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY PUT IN A NEW GEAR SHIFTER WITH THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE. THEY CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE. THEY TOLD ME THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS.

WHENEVER THE CAR (2007 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING) IS PUT INTO "PARK" WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED TO HOLD THE CAR IN PLACE, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER GEAR SELECTION WHEN RESTARTING THE CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO MOVE IT. WHILE I KNOW IT IS GOOD DRIVING PRACTICE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN PARKED, IT IS A MUST IN THIS VEHICLE OR THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE. THE PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED A REPAIR, BUT RELIGIOUSLY APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE ONLY AFTER SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL THE CAR SETTLES, THEN PUTTING IT INTO "PARK." *TR

MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300 BASE MODEL HAS A DEFECT WHERE I GET STUCK IN PARK AND CANNOT GET OUT OF THIS POSITION ON MY SHIFT PANEL.

NOW I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NEVER BUY ANY DODGE MAKE EVER BECAUSE OF THIS.

I HOPE MY VOICE IS HEARD AND IF I AM NOT REGARED AFTER THIS COMPLAINT I WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED. REGARDS CUSTOMER *TR

NO WARNING WAS GIVEN. I WAS LEAVING WORK ON AUGUST 3RD, THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE OUT OF PARK. IT WAS STUCK IN "PARK". I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN CHRYSLER CARS. MY CAR IS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. 52,000 MILES...WE HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE CAR AND THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE COVERED. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY SAID THE "GEAR SHIFT" WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. HE PROCEEDS TO TELL ME IT WILL COST $150 TO TOW IT; $150 DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BEFORE THEY CAN SAY WHETHER OR NOT THE WARRANTY COVERS IT...AND IF IT DOESN'T, THEN I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE PRICE TO FIX A .50 CENTS PLASTIC, WHICH IS $406.00!!! $706 TO FIX A "KNOWN PROBLEM" IN CHRYSLER CARS. THE "GEAR SHIFTS" IN THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE REPLACED. THERE ARE MANY BLOGS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS "COMMON PROBLEM". CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON "GEAR SHIFTS" THAT GET STUCK IN "PARK" OR FIX THE KNOWN PROBLEM FOR FREE!!!! *TR

CAR SHIFTER LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT GET VEHICLE OUT OF "PARK", AFTER TRYING REALLY HARD TO PUT IT INTO DRIVE, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SHIFTER TO CHANGE TO "DRIVE, BUT WHEN I GOT HOME I HAD TO PUT EXTRA PRESSURE ON THE SHIFTER TO GET TO PARK. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BECAUSE THE CAR COULD ROLL BY ITSELF SINCE IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO PLACE THE SHIFTER IN PARK. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CHRYSLER 300 BRAND NEW FROM DEALER IN AUGUST 2007. MY FIRST NEW CAR. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER ARE THE PROBLEM. FROM DAY ONE THERE IS INTERMITTANT ":CLUNKING" WHEN IT SHIFTS. PARK TO REVERSE. DRIVE TO PARK. BUT THE SCARY ONE IS WHEN I'M DRIVING, A FEW TIMES A WEEK, SOMETIMES MORE THAN A FEW TIMES A DAY IT JUMPS, REALLY LURCHES. ENOUGH THAT AT 40 MPH, YOUR HEAD GETS A GOOD JOLT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO DEALER THREE TIMES. THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WAS BETTER FOR A WHILE, NOW GETTING WORSE SO IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE, CITY AND HIGHWAY. BASICALLY, THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID BECAUSE IT'S INTERMITTANT. SO I HAD THEM KEEP IT AND DRIVE HOME THEMSELVES. BUT IT HAPPENED ONLY ONCE TO THEM. WELL, I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. BUT I WISH THEY WOULD AT LEAST GIVE ME SOMETHING BACK FOR PAYING FULL PRICE FOR A DEFECTED CAR. THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME ANOTHER CAR THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN.

2007 CHRYSLER 300 - TRANSMISSION FELL APART AT 28,000 MILES, DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION PLUG I'D AT 41,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC MOVING AT 65 MILES PHR- VEHICLE JUST STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO IN GEAR. WHEN I GOT IT TO THE DEALER THEY INITIALLY DIDN'T WANT TO FIX UNTIL THEY REALIZED I WAS STILL COVER BY INITIAL & EXTENDED WARRANTIES. THIS IS THE 1ST NEW VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED & I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT THE 20 MILES BACK AND FORTH TO WORK OR VISIT MY FAMILY IN NC. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FEB 07 & SINCE THEN BEEN DEPLOYED 15 MONTHS, SO THE CAR WAS ONLY USED 21 MONTHS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TWO CHILDREN AND WE WERE STRANDED WHEN OUR 2007 CHRYSLER 300 WAS STUCK IN PARK. WE CANNOT GET IT OUT OF PARK AND WERE LEFT IN A VERY DANGEROUS PART OF TOWN. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. I BOUGHT IT USED ON 6/14/08. WITHIN A MONTH THAT I BOUGHT IT, THE CAR STALLED ON ME. A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP/GARAGE WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING MAJOR EXCEPT THE THROTTLE HAD BUILT IN DEBRIS. EVER SINCE THAT TIME, THE CAR HAS NOT RAN SMOOTHLY. MOST OF THE TIMES, THE CAR FEELS THAT IT LOSES ENERGY/POWER WHEN I START TO DRIVE IT (LIKE WHEN I START THE ENGINE AND START DRIVING). IT ALSO MAKES A NOISE WHEN IT NEEDS TO "SHIFT" TO THE NEXT POWER (IT IS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). IN 6/09-7/09, MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, WHICH THE GARAGE THAT I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THAT CAN REPAIR ANY TYPE OF EMISSION ISSUES NEEDED TO REPLACE A VALVE AND THEN THE LIGHT DID NOT TURN ON ANYMORE. EVEN AFTER THIS REPAIR, THE CAR CONTINUES TO FEEL LIKE IF IT LOSES POWER. I HAVE REGULAR OIL CHANGES DONE SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. I FEEL THAT THERE CAN BE SOME MANUFACTURE DEFECT; HOWEVER, SINCE I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUES TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, THEY SEEM NOT TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING WITH ONLY 44,000 MILES ON IT. MY GEAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THERE IS AN OVERRIDE SWITCH ("PINK" ) THAT DID NOT WORK AS WELL. I GOT ONLINE TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS MATTER AND THERE WAS NOT; HOWEVER, WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, I NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND BLOGS ABOUT THESE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FROM 2005 TO CURRENT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER. TODAY, MONDAY, JULY 6, 2009 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENTIRE GIFT SHIFT ASSEMBLY WAS BUSTED. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A CRAPPY DESIGN AND CHRYSLER HAS SINCE MADE A LITTLE BETTER DESIGN SHIFT GEAR THAN THE ONE THAT IS IN MY VEHICLE NOW. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLING THESE SHIFT GEAR AND REPLACE WITH THE "MORE IMPROVED" DESIGN. *TR

MY CHRYSLER 300 IS 1.5 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 18,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP (DEALERSHIP) TWICE FOR MAJOR PROBLEMS. THIS LATEST ONE IS LIFE-THREATENING. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY JUST STOPS. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOOSES POWER AND COASTS TO A STOP. NO WARNING. THE ENGINE DIES AND STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. I JUST SPOKE TO THE SERVICE REP AND HE SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. THIS CAR IS A REAL HAZARD AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. *TR
