MY CAR HAS BEEN CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES THIS YEAR. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS A WAKE UP CALL THAT I COULD NOT IGNORE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15MPH MAKING A LEFT TURN ON TO A BUSY STREET FROM ANOTHER BUSY STREET AND BEFORE I COULD COMPLETE THE TURN IT CUT OFF WITH CARS BEHIND ME AND TO MY LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AND STARTED TO VEER INTO THE OCCUPIED RIGHT LANE. I HAD MY TOO YOUNG DAUGHTERS WITH ME AND IT WAS VERY SCARY.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT IF THE CAR CUTS OFF THE STEERING GOES WITH IT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO CHRYSLER WHO COULD...

I WAS TOLD NO THEY DO NOT SUPPLY LOANER CARS OR REIMBURSEMENT ON A RENTAL CAR. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF A PART IS TAKING THAT LONG TO GET IT MUST BE BECAUSE...

MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT WARMERS MALFUNCTIONED AND ENDED UP TURNING ON BY ITSELF AND OVERHEATING AND IN TURN, BURNING THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I INITIALLY PARKED THE CAR WHERE I USUALLY DO AND WAS PLANNING ON TAKING THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BY MY HOME.

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

WE HAVE TAKEN OUR 2008 CHRYSLER 300 TO 2 DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS AND THEY HAVEN'T FIXED OUR CAR. OUR CAR WINDOWS, AC, LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, FAN ETC DON'T WORK SEVERAL TIMES. WE HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO RESTART THE CAR AND SOMETIMES WE GET THE POWER BACK. THE FIRST CAR DEALER ARE SAYING THEY DON'T SHOW ANY ERROR IN THE SYSTEM. THE OTHER DEALER TOLD US SOMEONE MAY HAVE OPENED THEIR GARAGE AT THE SAME TIME WE STARTED OUR CAR AND THEY SAW A COUPLE OF ERRORS BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY WANT US TO BUY AMERICAN CARS AND THEN WE GET CHEATED AND LIED TO BY CHRYSLER. THEY SHOULD FIX OUR CAR. *TR

MY 2008 300 TOURING WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. THE ALARM STARTED GOING OFF BY ITSELF. THE A FIRE STARTED OUT OF NOWHERE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THEN MY CAR EXPLODED FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK THROUGH THE EXHAUST PIPE. I ONLY HAD 6100 OR SO MILES ON MY CAR. I JUST LEASED IT IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. *TR

BOUGHT A 2008 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED 3.5 ON DECEMBER 18TH. ON SUNDAY THE 23RD, I USED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER DUE TO FLYING ROAD WATER AFTER A RAIN, THAT RESULTED IN A TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE. ENGINE STOPPED UNTIL I RELEASED WINDSHIELD WASHER SWITCH, AND WHEN IT RESTARTED..IT WAS IN A LOWER GEAR, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT SLOW DOWN WITH BRAKING. SUCH AN EVENT IN FASTER AND HEAVY TRAFFIC COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM FOR OCCUPANTS AND/OR THOSE DRIVING BEHIND A CAR EXPERIENCING SUCH AN EVENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO A MAJOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BOARD THAT WAS ORDERED. THE CAR WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALER ON DECEMBER 24TH AND TODAY THEY CALLED STATING THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. IF ON BACK ORDER, ONE HAS TO THINK THAT THERE IS A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM THAN JUST MY AUTOMOBILE....
