NHTSA Complaint #10735432 — 2013 CHRYSLER 300

WHILE DRIVING USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR SEEMS TO HESITATE FOR A SECOND, DROP INTO A LOWER GEAR AND THE TOP SPEED IS LIMITED - THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS GO ON. A MESSAGE ALSO APPEARS SAYING "FCW OFF", AND THE ACC WILL NOT WORK. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING REMOVES ALL INDICATIONS OF THE PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WHICH GOES OFF EVENTUALLY. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A DEALER WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LIGHT WENT OUT WHILE TESTING, OTHER TIME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, BUT UPDATED SOFTWARE AND REPLACED A SWITCH. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON LONG TRIPS AND MUCH TO MY PERSONNEL CONCERNS WHEN I'M IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR CONKS OUT.
