The air bags were replaced in my vehicle due to a recall. Now my air bag light is on and the buttons and horn do not work. The airbag clock spring is broken. The air bags were replaced by the dealership. Should the clock spring be replaced covered due to this issue?

Esc off light comes on and transmission does not shift has loss of power gets extremely bad gas mileage. Whole engine shakes and bucks as if misfiring., cruise control nor sport mode engage.

Car was stalling and had electrical issues. I paid to get it fixed but never knew there was a recall for my vehicles alternator. The vehicle battery dies fairly quickly from time to time still and every know and then I have to call AAA to jump my car and they say my battery is good. Chrysler's number for this recall is T36. I never received a noticed.

When driving down the street alternator dies and randomly goes out while driving . Have had this problem multiple times

Was on my way home from work and car completely lost power as I was preceding to go after stopping at a stop sign. I was LITERALLY in the middle of the road. Car wouldn't crank AT ALL. Engine started OVERHEATING causing smoke to disburse from engine. NO WARNING LIGHTS before this occurred. A big truck was coming down the road and I had to exist the vehicle. Luckily a car wasn't in the other lane so the truck went on the other side of the road. I was terrified! I called 911 to get a deputy dispatch to direct traffic around my car to avoid mutiple COLLISION. I had to have my vehicle towed. I never want another Chrysler again these cars are UNSAFE. I could have died what if my child was in the car?! I took my car to a mechanic to put on computer scanner and it gave off SEVEN codes ALL due to ELECTRICAL ISSUES! CAR IS APPARENTLY STUCK IN LIMP MODE IDK I'M SO CONFUSED AND DISAPPOINTED. I reported the issue to Chrysler recall line and they did NOTHING.

The air bag light comes on n off with a passenger in the seat and also the shifter sometimes doesn’t shift into gear I have to unplug battery for 10 minutes to reset system that comes to the electrical situation

My vehicle stalls when placed from reverse to drive and the check engine light blinks and goes to Eco mode which makes the car shake. I’ve had a tuneup, oil change, brakes, O2 sensor and spark plugs replaced and the issues still exist. The car also will initiate skid control without warning or pressing the button which slows the car down and causes the engine to rev above 3-6rpm

I REPLACED THE POWER STEERING FUSE THE NEXT DAY AND AFTER DROPPING MY SON OFF TO SCHOOL, IT WENT OUT AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY, I HAD PURCHASED EXTRA FUSES IN THE EVENT IT WENT OUT AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE WORK BEFORE, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD FIX THAT PROBLEM WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP BECAUSE ITS ELECTRICAL. HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO OPERATE THE CAR WHILE YOU ARE OPERATING IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN ABOARD.

RE: EXPERIENCE RECALL T36: I WAS TAKING AN EXIT OFF RAMP FROM THE HIGHWAY WHEN I COULD SMELL A BURNING SMELL. THE ABS, BATTERY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. MY SPEEDOMETER WAS MOVING UP AND DOWN, MY SCREEN STARTED BLINKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT ON ON ITS OWN AND MY CAR JUST LOCKED UP AND ALL LIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OFF. STEERING AND BRAKES WAS NOT OPERABLE. AS I CAME DOWN THE HILLED RAMP I PULLED OVER (STEERING WHEEL) WAS HARD TO STEER, HOPING AND PRAYING THAT I DIDN'T HIT THE LIGHT POLE THAT WAS APPROX. 10 FT AWAY. THANK GOD THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ABOUT 5 FT AWAY FROM THE LIGHT POLE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN THE PARK POSITION. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE TOW TRUCK GUY COULDN'T GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO TOW IT! HE HAD TO OPEN UP SOMETHING BY THE SHIFTER TO FORCE IT TO GO INTO NEUTRAL. GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME A $160 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE ALTERNATOR WHICH ALSO KILLED MY BATTERY. MY CAR WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT ABOUT 10:30AM. THE SHUTTLE SERVICE BROUGHT ME TO WORK. BY 3PM I DIDNT GET ANY PHONE CALL REGARDING THE STATUS ON MY CAR, I CALLED THEM TO CHECK. THEY SAID IT WAS THE T36 RECALL -THE ALTERNATOR IS FAULTY THAT THEY WILL TRY TO GET THE NEW ALTERNATOR COVERED WITHOUT ME HAVING TO PAY ANYTHING OUT OF POCKET. THE CAR WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. WELL TODAY IS THE NEXT DAY, THEY WILL REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR FREE OF CHARGE BUT IT'LL STILL BE A DEFECTIVE ONE BECAUSE I WILL STILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE DEALER "WHEN THEY GET THE RIGHT ALTERNATOR" AND REPLACE IT AGAIN! THIS MEANS I WILL STILL BE DRIVING MY "UNSAFE" CAR THAT COULD GET ME IN AN ACCIDENT OR BURN UNTIL THE NEW PART COMES OUT!!THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS! I CALLED THE DEALER MONTHLY PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING TO NO AVAIL. I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD PROVIDE ME A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE "RIGHT PART" COMES IN!

I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, AND I AM WAITING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO BE COMPLETED. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON RECALLS FOR MY MODEL CAR, AND SOME 2012 CHYSLER 300 HUNDREDS WERE RECALLED FOR A SPECIFIC PROBLEM DEALING WITH THE 160 VOLT ALTENATOR. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, CHYSLER IS NOT RECALLING ANY MODELS WITH THE 180 VOLT ALTENATOR. I AM ASSUMING BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL NOTICE ON IT, THAT MY CAR HAS 180 VOLT ALTENATOR ON IT. IF THAT IS THE CASE? I HAVE READ OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 180 VOLT ALTENATOR. I WAS LUCKY THAT I HAD JUST GOTTEN OF THE FREEWAY AND WAS NOT GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. WHAT ACTIONS HAVE THE NHTSA TAKEN TOO PROTECT CONSUMERS FOR THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE? EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS FIXED, IF THE CAN FIX IT I WILL NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT.

I HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR REPLACED AT A LOCAL REPAIR COMPANY FOR $962 AND SOME CHANGE. AS THE SAFETY RECALL WARNS AND DENOTES THE POSSIBILITY OF ... "THE DRIVER WILL HAVE LIMITED OR NO DETECTION OF THE ALTERNATOR FAILING, WHICH CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING" ...

ABOUT A MILE AWAY I STOPPED AT STOPLIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND DASH LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND OFF, RADIO AND AC COMING ON AND OFF AND THEN CAR DIES AND WILL NOT RESTART. AFTER 5 OR 10 MINUTES GET IT RESTARTED AND WILL BARELY MOVE. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN AUTO PARTS STORE JUST AROUND THE CORNER. WHEN I PULL IN THE PARKING LOT, CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE, WILL NOT SHUT OFF, WIND SHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND WON'T GO OFF, GAUGES ALL GOING CRAZY AND HAVE TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE SO MY CAR WON'T RUN THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE STORE WHILE I GO INTO STORE TO GET HELP. THE GUY HOOKS UP TO DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE AND IT GIVES A READ ERROR. (HOOKS UP TO ANOTHER CAR AND NO ERROR). FINALLY GET CAR TO SHUT OFF AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES. HE TESTS BATTERY AND COMES BACK LOW. NEW $200 BATTERY AND STARTS UP FINE, EVERYTHING WORKING AGAIN. PULL OUT OF PARKING LOT AND START SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING, SMOKE COMING THROUGH VENTS, WEIRD SOUND. PULL OVER AND SAME THINGS HAPPEN - GAUGES GOING CRAZY, WIPERS ON, WON'T SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE, WON'T TURN OFF. GET OUT OF CAR AND TAKE KEY OUT WITH ME AND WIPERS COME ON. HAVE TO TAKE OUT FUSE TO GET THEM TO GO OFF. LIGHTS COME ON. HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY TO GET THEM OFF - ALL OF THIS WHEN THE KEY IS NOT EVEN IN THE CAR! $60 TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO SHOP AND $600 TO HAVE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. WHY IS THE 180 AMP ALTERNATOR NOT PART OF THE P60 RECALL WHEN IT IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR THAT WAS RECALLED???

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN, THE CARS WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AND ALARMS STARTED BEEPING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE FCW OFF MESSAGE, I SMELLED SMOKE AND HEARD A WHIRING SOUND. AFTER PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY, I POPPED OPEN THE HOOD AND FOUND NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. 20 MINUTES LATER I STARTED UP THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING, AGAIN WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. WHEN COMING BACK HOME (4 MILE ROUND TRIP), I HEARD A WHIRING SOUND AGAIN, SMELLED SMOKE AND LIGHTS AND ALARMS AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, I WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. AT THIS POINT, I COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD AND SAW SMOKE BILLOWING FROM THE AREA OF THE ALTERNATOR. AFTER THE SMOKE STOPPED I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR TO MOVE IT AND ROLL UP WINDOWS BUT COULD NOT, THE CAR HAD NO POWER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR MY CAR. HOWEVER, I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, MY CAR HAS THE 180 AMP. THIS ALTERNATOR FAILED IN THE EXACT SAME WAY AS THE 160 AMP ALTERNATORS. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT A BUSY INTERSECTION. SINCE THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, I AM NOW OUT $1000. I HAVE READ SIMILAR STORIES OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE 180 AMP ALTERNATORS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, PLEASE HELP.

ON 12/22/16, I USED MY CAR FOR WORK AND LATER CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WITH NO PROBLEM. AT 9:00 PM, MY HUSBAND, GRANDDAUGHTER AND I WERE ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 60-65 MPH WHEN THE BATTERY SAVE MODE LIGHT CAME ON. I SMELLED SMOKE SO MY HUSBAND MERGED OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT, STILL TRAVELING ABOUT 50-55 MPH. THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN, FIRST THE RADIO, THEN INSIDE PANEL LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS UP, AND CAR SLAMMED INTO PARK WHILE MOVING. FELT LIKE WE WERE REAR ENDED. VERY SCARY. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO COAST DOWNHILL OFF THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, BARELY MAKING IT OFF, WITH THE BACKEND OF THE CAR IN JEOPARDY OF BEING HIT. THE THREE OF US WERE STRANDED THERE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL 1:30 AM, IN A NOT SO LIT AREA, UNTIL AAA ARRIVED. NONE OF US KNEW HOW TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL SO IT HAD TO BE FORCED ON AND OFF THE FLAT BED. THE NEXT DAY, I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR THIS SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. MY CARE # IS 30764006. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT HAD A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR INSTEAD OF 160 AMP. I WAS TOLD BY [XXX] TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO MOTOR VILLAGE LA FOR AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS AND THAT SHE (CHRYSLER) WOULD TRY TO HELP ME GET IT APPROVED TO BE FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. MOTOR VILLAGE QUOTED ME $1200 TO FIX AND DENIED THE RECALL CLAIM. MY FAMILY AND I ALMOST LOST OUR LIVES THAT EVENING, AND I WASTED TIME WITH CHRYSLER RECALL. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED ELSEWHERE BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD $1200 FOR REPAIR. FURTHERMORE, WHEN I CALLED BACK, I WAS NOT ABLE TO SPEAK WITH [XXX] AND OF COURSE, THE STORY HAD CHANGED. THEY NO LONGER OFFERED HELP, ONLY APOLOGIES. AS A RESULT, I LOST TIME OFF WORK AND WAS WITHOUT A CAR FOR A WEEK. I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY $130.00 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE PAID TO MOTOR VILLAGE.

I PULLED OVER AND GOT CAR TOWED AWAY ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS MESSED UP CAUSING THE BATTERY AND SERPENTINE BELT TO GO OUT AS WELL. I ASKED IF MY 300 WAS COVERED PART OF THE FAULTY ALTERNATORS BUT APPARENTLY MY VIN DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL SO HERE I AM HOPING TO CAUSE AWARENESS SO I CAN GET MY $1500 BILL COVERED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. 2012 CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP ARE KNOWN TO HAVE FAULTY ALTERNATORS BUT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE "BAD BATCH" SO PLEASE EXPAND THIS RECALL.

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AT CHRYSLER, LITTLE FALLS NJ OF 2014, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. FROM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, TO THE AIRBAG ISSUES, TO LATER SPENDING OVER 1300 IN REPAIRING THE ALTERNATOR. WITHIN THE 1ST FEW DAYS OF THE PURCHASE THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN WHICH I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS TOO LATE TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE, PER FLO I HAD SIGNED THE CONTRACT AND CANNOT CANCEL THE DEAL. AFTER BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AND LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE, I CONTACTED CORPORATE CHRYSLER, IN WHICH CAITLIN CONTACTED ME AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH RT1 CHRYSLER IN LAWRENCEVILLE NJ AROUND 7/2015, IN WHICH THEY STATED THAT THE AIR BAG HAD SPLICED WIRES. A FEW DAYS FROM TAKING THE VEHICLE HOME THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CONTACTED CAITLIN TO REPORT THAT THE ISSUE STILL EXIST IN WHICH SHE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. I CALLED HER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER IN CHERRY HILL AND THE ONE IN LUMBERTON, ALL STATED NO ISSUES FOUND, EVEN AFTER BRINGING IT IN WHEN THE ALTERNATOR WENT ON IT. I ALSO BROUGHT IT IN TO THE CHRYSLER IN LUMBERTON SINCE THE CAR HAD LOST POWER/ENGINE KNOCKING AND THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL I BROUGHT IT BACK TO CHERRY HILL CHRYSLER AND THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS ENGINE PROBLEMS. CORPORATE CHRYSLER AND ALL THESE DEALERS HAVE CONTINUED CLAIMING THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANY AIRBAG ISSUES OR WHEN THEY CLAIM THEY FIND SOMETHING, IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT YET THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. BOTTOM LINE, ALL THESE DEALERS AND CORPORATE CHRYSLER HAVE CONTINUED PUTTING MY LIFE, MY FAMILIES LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND MY FAMILIES. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A LUXURY LEMON AND CORPORATE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE SINCE THEY CANNOT FIX IT.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I AM SENDING A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE 2012 CHRYSLER 300'S AND THE SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED. MY VEHICLE HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE USED TO SPORADICALLY AFFECT MY VEHICLE IN VARIOUS WAY, HOWEVER LATELY THE ISSUES HAVE BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND AGGRESSIVE. THE FREQUENT AND AGGRESSIVE ACTIVITY ARE AS FOLLOWS: SOMETIMES MY BLUETOOTH WILL NOT CONNECT SO I WOULD TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE BLUETOOTH WOULD IMMEDIATELY CONNECT. SOMETIMES THE POWER SEATS WILL NOT HEAT. I WOULD PULL OVER TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD START HEATING UP. SOMETIMES THE BACK-UP CAMERA FLICKERS AND HAS A SEVERELY DISTORTED IMAGE. SOMETIME THE IMAGE OF THE CAMERA IS PERFECTLY CRYSTAL CLEAR. THE MAIN CONCERN IS MY POWER STEERING IS ELECTRIC AND I DO NOT HAVE A POWER STEERING PUMP. WHEN I AM DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN OUT OF NO WHERE THE STEERING GETS REALLY TIGHT AND I ALMOST HAVE TO FORCE THE CAR TO TURN. WHEN I PARK THE CAR AND LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE THEN THE STEERING IS FINE AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AND EVERYONE SAYS THAT THE BATTERY ALTERNATOR AND STARTER ARE ALL PERFECT. THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2013. THE ATTACHED IMAGES SHOW THE BACKUP CAMERA FLICKERING AND DISTORTED IMAGES. EXACTLY 2 MINUTES LATER I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE IMAGES WERE PERFECT. I ALSO HAVE VIDEOS TO SHARE IF NEEDED.

SINCE 2013 I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY CAR. FIRST IN 2013 IT WAS VERY SPORADIC. THE BLUETOOTH AND RADIO WOULD NOT TURN ON APPROXIMATELY ONCE EVERY 2 TO 4 MONTHS SO I WOULD TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT AND IT WOULD CONNECT. THIS YEAR IN JANUARY 2016 THE FAN WAS NOT BLOWING AND THERE WAS NOT HEAT IN THE VEHICLE. I TURN THE CAR OF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE FAN BEGAN TO BLOW IMMEDIATELY. LAST WEEK MY STEERING WHEEL FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT GOING TO COMPLETE MY LEFT TURN AND GOT REALLY TIGHT.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHECK IT I NEEDED A BATTERY OR A NEW ALTERNATOR AND THEY SAID NOPE. MY BATTERY, MY ALTERNATOR AND STARTED ARE ALL GOOD. I HAVE BEEN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT HAS JUST GONE BAD OVER TIME. I TRIED TO HAVE SOMEONE LOOK INTO IT IN 2013, BUT ANYTIME SOMEONE HELD ONTO THE VEHICLE NOTHING HAPPENED. I JUST SPOKE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND THEY SAID I MAY NEED A NEW PCM.

WHILE ON HIGHWAY, MY RADIO TURNED OFF AND VEHICLE WENT INTO BATTERY SAVING MODE. AS I PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY, THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND THE CAR BARELY MADE IT THERE. THE CAR SMELLED LIKE IF SOMETHING WAS BURNING UNDER THE HOOD. ONE OF THE ATTENDANTS CHECKED MY BATTERY AND SAID THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED, I HAD THEM RECHARGE IT. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED SINCE THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE. I PICKED UP THE BATTERY THIS MORNING AND TURNED THE CAR ON, AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO FLICKER SO I JUST TURNED OF THE CAR. I READ IN TO THE VEHICLES RECALLS AND I NOTICED THAT RECALL #P6O IS EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR WAS DOING LAST NIGHT. I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT DUE TO MY CAR NOT BEING AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL BUT IT OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO TO MAKE MY CAR PART OF THIS RECALL? IF SO WHAT STEPS CAN I TAKE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND OR MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS SINCE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS ISSUE STARTED, IF NOT FOR MY QUICK THINKING THE CAR COULD OF STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT WHILE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN TO FAIL IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME. I AM AFRAID IF WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT THE AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY.

I WAS REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER. PLEASE NOTE HERE THAT THIS IS A BASE MODEL. THAT ALTERNATOR RECENTLY FAILED AS WELL AFTER JUST OVER A YEAR. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WENT OFF FOR A FEW DAYS. IT CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON THIS TIME. HAD IT TESTED AND WAS TOLD THE ALTERNATOR WAS AGAIN FAILING. THIS ALTERNATOR COST 485.00, LUCKILY WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY. PERHAPS IT IS NOT JUST THE TYPE OF ALTERNATORS CHRYSLER USED, BUT A MORE COMPLEX PROBLEM TO BE INVESTIGATED HERE.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, AS THE CAR HEATS UP, THE ABS FUSE SEEMS TO LOSE CONTACT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ABS/ESP (STABILITY CONTROL), FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE DISABLE. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING. IF USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ACCELERATION AND SPEED MAINTENANCE WILL STOP, AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT (THOUGH IT HAS NOT YET). A SIMILAR CHRYSLER CASE HAS BEEN OPENED AND LINKED TO THE POLICE VARIANT OF A CAR ON THE SAME PLATFORM WITH SAME ENGINE. POLICE CARS USE DODGE CHARGERS WITH HEMI V8, WHICH IS THE SAME PLATFORM AS THE CHRYSLER 300 WITH A HEMI V8, WITH MOSTLY COSMETIC ISSUES. THE FUSE IS NOT BLOWN, AND UPON THE CAR COOLING DOWN, THE SYSTEM IS RESTORED, HOWEVER, ON JOURNEYS IN WHICH THE ENGINE HEAT RISES, THE SYSTEM GOES OFFLINE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS MAY BE A COMMON ISSUE IN THIS PLATFORM, HOWEVER, THE TSB ONLY WENT TO THE POLICE CAR VARIANT OF ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CAR. WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING, IF THE DRIVER HAS THE BRAKES APPLIED, A BANG/GRIND/SCRAPE SOUND (SUCH AS WHAT IS HEARD WHEN THE ABS ACTUALLY ENGAGES) CAN BE HEARD.

THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO REPAIR BOTH. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO INDICATED THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS AWARE CHRYSLER HAD RECALLED ALMOST 1/2 MILLION VEHICLE FOR THE SAME EXACT ALTERNATOR PROBLEM (RECALL P60). I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY INDICATED NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE P60 RECALL LIST. THEY PROVIDED ME A CASE NUMBER FOR THE INITIAL ROADSIDE SERVICE/TOW (#28743527) AND INDICATED NO OTHER CASE NUMBER WOULD BE GENERATED. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON CHRYSLER'S RECALL LIST, THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED BY MY VEHICLE WAS IDENTICAL TO THE ALTERNATOR/ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED IN OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME MODEL/ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.

I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE AND WAS APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER MILE FROM HOME WHEN MY SON AND I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. THEN THE RADIO TURNED OFF. I LOOKED DOWN AND THE MESSAGE CENTER SAID "BATTERY SAVING MODE". I HAD JUST PUT A NEW BATTERY ON LESS THAN 4 MONTHS AGO. THEN I HEARD A WHIRRING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP A HILL. THE RED OUTLINE OF A BATTERY APPEARED ON THE DASH. I TOOK THE CAR BACK HOME AND PARKED IT -- THEN HAD TO HAVE A NEW ALTERNATOR INSTALLED THE NEXT DAY. MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS DEFINITE EVIDENCE OF THE ALTERNATOR BURNING UP. AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE WITH THE NEW ALTERNATOR -- MY HEAT WOULD NOT BLOW OUT THE FRONT VENTS. TURNS OUT THE ACTUATOR HAD GONE OUT. I AM STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR JUST A REALLY STRANGE COINCIDENCE. I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN I GET ON THE INTERSTATE EVEN WITH THE NEW ALTERNATOR BECAUSE I WAS TOLD IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANYTIME WITHOUT KNOWING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO CHRYSLER RECALL P60/NHTSA 14V-634 I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ON THURS, DEC 4, 2014. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DON JACKSON DEALERSHIP IN UNION CITY, GA WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND PRESENTED THE RECALL NOTICE. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND NO DATE AS TO WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I CALLED CHRYSLER 800 - 853-1403 NUMBER AND PROVIDED RECALL NOTICE INFO. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND NO DATE AS TO WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I HAVE EXPLAINED THAT I WORK 50 MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE AND THAT I AM DRIVING THRU 8 LANES OF TRAFFIC 5 DAYS A WEEK. IN ADDITION, I HAVE EXPLAINED THAT THIS CAR IS SCHEDULED FOR A LONG 428 MILE ONE WAY TRIP FOR XMAS. STILL NO DATE AS TO WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I WONDER ABOUT THIS SINCE THE NOTICE CLAIMS POSSIBLE FAILURE OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND LOSS OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT MY SAFETY. SO WHAT ABOUT THE 8 LANES OF DRIVERS AND CARS AROUND ME. DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT THE POSSIBLE IMPACT TO DRIVERS WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD NOT BE HARMED !!! I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT I SHOULD RECEIVE GREATER CONSIDERATION. IF THIS CAR IS DEEMED TO BE POSSIBLY "NOT SAFE," I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT CHRYSLER FIND ME ONE WHICH IS SAFE. AGAIN, SAFERCAR -- WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DRIVERS AROUND ME IF THE SYSTEMS IN THIS CHRYSLER 300 SHOULD FAIL AND I LOSE BRAKE CONTROL IN 8 LANES OF TRAFFIC? ANY IDEAS?

I PURCHASED A "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED" CHRYSLER 300S ON 02/14/14. FROM THE BEGINNING I HAD TO GO TO THE DEALER IN NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DUE TO TOO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES, INCLUDING AIR BAG LIGHT, SEAT BELT ALARM THAT WILL GO OFF WHEN NOTHING OR NOBODY WILL BE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAD TO TAKE A VIDEO WITH MY PHONE WHILE DRIVING FOR THEM TO SEE THAT I WAS NOT LYING AND THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT. FINALLY THEY CHANGED SOMETHING THERE AND AT THE SAME TIME DISCONNECTED THE ALARM FOR THE SEAT BELT SO IT WOULDN'T GO OFF. WE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES IF THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS NOT. THE CAR ALSO HAS A REAR SHADE THAT HAS TO BE REPAIRED ALREADY ONCE DURING WARRANTY, AND A SECOND TIME WHEN I HAD TO PAY FOR ITS REPAIR. IT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN SINCE MORE THAN A MONTH AGO. THE HANDS FREE SYSTEM IS ALSO NOT WORKING, AND IT HAS NOT WORKED RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. I HAD COMPLAINED TO THEM THAT MY PHONE WAS NOT CONNECTING ALL THE TIME AND THEY KEPT SAYING IT WAS THE SATELLITE, THE PHONE, ETC. NOW OF COURSE IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY $100 JUST FOR DIAGNOSTIC. I CALLED THEIR 800 NUMBER FOR THE CERTIFIED PREOWNED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT IS THE HANDS-FREE MODULE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS ALSO A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE I NEED WORKING. I COMMUTE MORE THAN 53 MILES EVERY DAY AND HAVE CONFERENCE CALLS WHILE ON THE ROAD. THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IS ALSO NOT WORKING RIGHT. IT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND AGAIN, THIS WAS AN ISSUE WE MENTIONED TO THE DEALER WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY ALWAYS HAD AN EXCUSE WHY THAT WAS HAPPENING. THIS AGAIN IS ALSO A SAFETY FEATURE IMPORTANT FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. THIS CAR HAS TOO MANY PROBLEMS THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A CAR THAT WAS CERTIFIED BY THE COMPANY TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITIONS AND THAT A YEAR AND 5 MONTHS LATER IS IN WORST SHAPE THAN MY 8 YEAR OLD MAGNUM. *TR
