NHTSA Complaint #10569157 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

IN JANUARY 2013 I NEEDED A JUMP DUE TO THE FRIGID TEMPERATURE. FOLLOWING THE JUMP MY ENGINE LIGHT WOULD BLINK ON AND OFF OCCASIONALLY. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE ON FEBRUARY 17, 2014 I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE TECHNICIAN WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THE DEALERSHIP COULD DO IF THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THAT TIME. TWO DAYS LATER ON FEBRUARY 19TH, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO CONFIRM WHAT THE TECHNICAL TOLD ME WAS CORRECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE TECHNICIAN GAVE ME THE CORRECT INFORMATION AND THAT WHEN MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON TO COME BACK SO THAT THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. I ALSO INFORMED HIM THAT MY RECEIPT STATED THAT I DECLINED REPAIRS WHICH I DID NOT. HE STATED THAT THE LANGUAGE ON THE RECEIPT WAS FOR GENERAL REPAIRS AND THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. ON MARCH 1, 2014 MY CAR WAS SMOKING PROFUSELY. BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED I HAD MY CAR PUT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE BY ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY WHO STATED THAT MY ENGINE WAS LOCKED. *TR
