NHTSA Complaint #10649797 — 2008 CHRYSLER 300

HEATER CORE BLEW IN THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT IF I'D STILL BEEN DRIVING, THE FLUID THAT DISPELLED WOULD HAVE BURNT MY LEGS AND FEET AS I WAS WEARING SHORTS AND FLIP-FLOPS. THIS INCIDENT WAS FURTHER EXASPERATED BY THE FACT THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN IN & OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP (PRESTIGE IN LAS VEGAS) MARCH, APRIL, MAY & JUNE OF 2014 FOR SEVERAL ISSUES AND A LOT OF THEM HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH TEMPERATURE SENSORS, GAUGES, WATER LEAKAGE, ETC. I FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ALL THAT HAD HAPPENED WITH THE CAR DURING THOSE TIMES. AT ONE POINT, THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 33 DAYS TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM!! HAVING THE HEATING CORE WHERE IT IS AND HAVING IT BLOW THE HOT FLUID OUT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FROM UNDER THE DASH IS THE MOST LUDICROUS THING I'VE EVER HEARD. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT I HAD GOTTEN OUT OF THE CAR OR I'M SURE I WOULD HAVE HAD 3RD DEGREE BURNS FROM MY KNEES DOWN OR WORSE. *TR
