Consumer Description

APPROX 15 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING MY NEW 2008 CHRYSLER 300, I HAVE FOUND THAT I HAVE NO ACCESSORY POWER WHILE DRIVING. I.E. NO HEAT/AC, NO RADIO, NO CONTROL OF WINDOWS. IT MAY ACTUALLY HAVE NO ACCESSORY POWER FROM THE TIME I START THE CAR, AS I OFTEN NOTICE IT WITHIN THE FIRST MILE WHEN I TRY TO USE AN ACCESSORY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE POWER BACK IS TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART. OCCASIONALLY I HAVE HAD TO REPEAT THIS PROCESS SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE ACCESSORY POWER BACK. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS, AND THEY REPLIED THAT IT IS TOO INTERMITTENT FOR THEM TO SOLVE. *TR
