WHEN AC IS ON THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE EVERY TIME WE TURN AC ON OR IF THE CAR IS IN USE FOR A LONG TIME THE ODOR IS VERY STRONG IN THE CAR, SINCE THIS ISSUE STARTED THE CAR HAS BEEN USING MORE GASOLINE AND I HAVE TO FILL UP THE TANK MORE TIMES THAN USUAL. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURES WARRANTY AND I SCHEDULED A SERVICE WITH CHRYSLER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BUT THEY DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO A SERVICE TECH BECAUSE NO ENGINE LIGHT OR NO CODE WAS PRESENT\. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THEM TO INSPECT THE FUEL LINES TO CHECK IF THERE IS A LEAK OR HAVE THEM CHECK THE AC TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND THE CAUSE OF THE STRONG ODOR THAT WE GET WITH THE AC ON BUT HAVE HAD NO LUCK. I AM TO THE POINT THAT I AM WORRIED FOR MY HEALTH AND MY CHILDREN'S HEALTH DUE TO THE STRONG GASOLINE ODOR.

Over the last month I noticed that my brakes would feel funny sometimes, like they were going to just grab suddenly vs stopping slowly. Then yesterday, 2/27/24, I received a warning that my ESC and ABS systems needed service and that I no longer had AWD capability. The message would stay on for several minutes, then shut off for several minutes, then come back on again.

ROTORS ARE WARPED PER MAINTENANCE CHECK WHICH I BELIEVE IS FROM THE EMERGENCY BREAKING. 43400 MILES FROM LEISURELY DRIVING AND BRAKE PADS ARE STILL GOOD. WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWNHILL AND APPLY BREAKS, CAR STARTS TO VIBRATE. THEN AT TIMES OF HIGH SPEED OF 70-75 THE BLIND SPOT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SIDE SENSORS STAY ON UNTIL I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

The contact owns a 2017 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the display screen intermittently failed, which caused the navigation system to become inoperable. The display screen controls the navigation and HVAC system. The contact who is deaf and relied on the navigation system for commuting. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed that the display screen might fail due to the high temperatures in Florida. The display screen needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN and the vehicle was out of warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.

The vehicle's LCD screen has become delaminated which causes the control of the radio, air conditioning, navigation, and other features controlled by the "radio" portion of the car to become dysfunctional. The car will randomly beep, change air temperatures, start navigation, cause the loss of hands-free communication. This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to AC/heat, navigation or radio (volume, etc.). This appears from Chrysler Forums to be an issue among a large group of Chrysler 300 Year Model 2017-2019 owners. I am encouraging them to file a concern with your group and to ask for a recall of the car for this reason.

The steering alert when off, The steering locked up in mid drive on interstate on several occasions. We took to dealer and to Haigler Automotive and no one could find out why the power steering locked up. The code only reads communication error. We have paid $2000. For diagnostic and repairs that they thought was related but it still losing communication to the car. We have less than 88000 miles on auto. We have owned the auto for three years. We can not afford another auto and need an auto for doctor visits. This auto was purchased based on ability to get I. And out of auto based on disability.
