CAR SHIFT HARSH WHEN STOPING OR COMING TO A STOP. DEALER SAYS ITS PART OF LEARNING PROCESS. MY CAR NOW HAS 45K MILES.FIRST COMPLAINT WAS AROUND 1000 MILES. EVERYTIME I TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY ALWAYS SAY THE SAME THING.

2/17/2016

I PURCHASED MY 2015 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED TWO DAYS SHORT OF A MONTH. I BOUGHT IT USED FROM CARMAX, WITH 15K MILES. I HAVE PUT ON ABOUT 1K MILES SO FAR, AND I AM NOTICING A BURNING SMELL - LIKE HEATED CERAMIC, WHILE INSIDE THE CAR WHEN I AM STATIONARY, AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR (HIGHWAY AND STREET). SMELL IS MORE NOTICEABLE OUTSIDE THE CAR (AFTER I PARK) AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD FOR POSSIBLE LEAKS - NO LEAKS PRESENT, BUT THE SMELL IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE ENGINE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING A LITTLE HARDER BETWEEN GEARS (NOT BY MUCH, BUT NOTICEABLE FROM HOW IT DROVE A MONTH AGO OFF THE LOT). USE THE VEHICLE FOR COMMUTE TO WORK AND RUNNING AROUND TOWN. I DON'T RACE THE ENGINE, AND TRY TO KEEP THE GAS MPG AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE (LIGHT GAS PEDAL FOOT). CONCERNED THAT I SEE THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THE ALTERNATOR ON PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS - BURNING UP AND CAUSING FIRES. ALTERNATOR IS IN THE SAME AREA AS THE SMELL. NO RECALLS OR COMPLAINTS ON FILE FOR THIS SITUATION FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL.

MEDIA REPORT OF U CONNECT PROBLEMS AND A PATCH FIX

7/23/2015

WHILE WALKING OUT OF THE STORE THE CAR WOULD NOT UNLOCK BY USING THE FOB. WHEN I OPENED IT MANUALLY AND PUSHED THE UNLOCK BUTTON, IT STILL WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I HAD TO HAVE EVERYONE CLIMB IN THROUGH MY DOOR TO GET TO THEIR SEATS. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT LOCK WITH THE FOB AND BY MANUALLY PUSHING THE BUTTONS. I HAVE NOW TAKEN IT IN TWICE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. AT RANDOM TIMES AND DAYS THE DOORS EITHER DO NOT UNLOCK, THEY WILL LOCK AND NOT LET PEOPLE OUT, OR THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN. IT HAPPENS WITH THE FOB OR BY PUSHING THE MANUAL BUTTONS. FOR BEING A BRAND NEW CAR IT HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING THAT NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND. IT HAS STAYED AT THE DEALER FOR 3 WEEKS AND AFTER GETTING IT BACK NOT 2 WEEKS HAVE PASSED WHERE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I JUST TOOK IT IN AGAIN THIS WEEK AND RECEIVED IT BACK SO I AM WAITING TO SEE IF IT IS FIXED OR IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE CONCERN OF THE AIRBAGS NOT IMPLODING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS 'TOTALED.' I KNEW BEFORE I HAD EVEN CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THAT THEY WOULD USE THE SENSORS AS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD AT LEAST OFFER ME SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION FOR WHAT THIS VEHICLE COST; A LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN LOST (SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN'T REPLACE) DON'T YOU AGREE THAT SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION SHOULD BE GIVEN?

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 300S MODEL WITH LESS THEN 300 MILES ON IT HAS SERVER CORROSION DUE TO HEAVY RUSTING ON AND AROUND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER CONTROL ARMS AND BOLTS AND BUSHINGS. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND THE VEHICLE HASNT BEEN EXPOSED TO ANY HARSH CLIMATES WITHIN THE TWO WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES (TEST DRIVE MILES) WHEN PURCHASED. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THERE ARE SEVERAL LATE MODEL CHRYSLER'S 300 WITH THE SAME RUSTING ISSUE, IN SOME CASES SEVER CRASHES HAVE BEEN REPORTED DUE TO SUSPENSION BREAKING FROM RUST CORROSION.

8/16/2015

THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS MAJOR RUSTING AND WAS NOTICED A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW AND AT THE TIME OF NOTICING THE RUST, IT HAD LESS THAN 200 MILES. I DO NOT LEAVE IN AN AREA THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO ANY ROAD SALT OR DE-ICING AGENT. THE RUST APPEARS TO MORE THAN JUST SURFACE RUSTING AND HAS CAUSED ALL THE BOLTS, BUSHING AND CONTROL ARMS TO HAVE MAJOR RUST AND IN SOME PARTS THE METAL IS FLAKING. I FEEL THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK AND NEVER HAVE SEEN THIS AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON A VEHICLE, MUCH LESS A BRAND NEW ONE

RUNNING HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO BRIGHT. SINCE THE PURCHSE OF THIS VEHICLE I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING OTHER DRIVERS FLICK THEIR HEADLIGHTS ON AT ME TO INFORM ME MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON, WHICH THEY ARE NOT! I JUST HAD AN INCIDENT LAST NIGHT, A DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME THOUGHT I WAS RUNNING MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON, THE DRIVER PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND GOT BEHIND ME WITH THEIR BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AS A WAY OF LETTING ME KNOW, THIS DRIVER WAS APPROX 10 INCHES OFF OF MY BUMPER DOING 50 MPH. PLEASE OFFER A DIMMER BULB. THIS ISSUE WILL INSUE "ROAD RAGE" FROM OTHER DRIVERS!

12/4/2015

I NOTICED ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WASN'T WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING & PARKED. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TURNED ON MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ALL OF THE LIGHTS FAILED, INCLUDING THE REAR LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENED AFTER DARK WHILE DRIVING SO I'M LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT! FROM THEN ON THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. TO GET ANY LIGHTS TO COME ON I HAD TO TURN THE KNOB AND RANDOM LIGHTS WOULD WORK. THE NEXT DAY, ONLY THE FOG LIGHTS WORKED WITH NO REAR LIGHTS OTHER THAN WHEN BRAKING. 2 DAYS LATER, ALL THE LIGHTS WORK EXCEPT THE 2 HEADLIGHTS! CRAZIEST THING EVER!

MY REAR SUNROOF EXPLODED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES AN HOUR ON AN OVERCAST DAY WITH AN OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE OF APPROXIMATELY 52 DEGREES (F). MY WINDOWS WERE ALL CLOSED. WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A BIG BANG, AND WITHIN SECONDS I NOTICED THAT ME REAR SUNROOF HAD A LARGE HOLE IN IT. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE CAR DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR 15 MONTHS AGO. THEY INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND NOTED THAT IT WAS AN OUTWARD EXPLOSION AS THE REMAINING GLASS IN THE SUNROOF WAS PUSHED OUT, NOT IN. THEY ALSO INSPECTED THE CAR FOR ANY SIGNS THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE EXPLODED WITHIN THE CAR AND SHOT THROUGH THE ROOF - THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO SUCH SIGNS. THE CAR DEALERSHIP CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE DAMAGE AS IT WAS OBVIOUSLY THE RESULT OF SUBSTANDARD GLASS OR A DESIGN FLAW. CHRYSLER DENIED COVERAGE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR EXPLODING SUNROOFS AND FOUND OUT THAT MY EXPERIENCE WASN'T UNIQUE. THERE WERE MANY ACCOUNTS OF OTHER SUCH INCIDENCES, AND EVEN SOME RECALLS BY ONE OR TWO CAR MANUFACTURERS. MY CONCERNS ARE: 1) SAFETY. I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR, AND WAS NOT HURT. HOWEVER, I'M NOT SURE IF I HAD BACKSEAT PASSENGERS IF THEY WOULD HAVE ESCAPED INJURY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IF THE FRONT SUNROOF (OVER MY HEAD) WOULD HAVE EXPLODED INSTEAD OF THE REAR SUNROOF. 2) RESPONSIBILITY. THE DENIAL OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS INCIDENT BY CHRYSLER IS TROUBLING. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY AND EVEN PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS EXPLOSION WAS OBVIOUSLY CREATED BY A DESIGN FLAW OR THE USE OF SUBSTANDARD GLASS. 3) COST. THOUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RATHER EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR
