On May 9th I went to pick up my check and I freaking ran over run over a big rock in the street and it it put like a little hole in my oil pan well this is my first car I've had already my second car I haven't had it for that long so what I did was I'm going to try to get home as the oil slowly leaking out but I was going to try to get home and I drive for like for like 3 minutes at like 20 at like 25 miles per hour 30 miles per hour and like probably like three or four minutes from that incident and I stopped before that too to get the money and then I tried to raise home whatever I'm driving and in the key pops out the addition but it always pops out the ignition crazy...

THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) HAS FAILED ON MY VEHICLE. AT FIRST IT STARTED AS A DEAD BATTERY WHICH WAS REPLACED, THEN A PARASITIC DRAW WHICH COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED RIGHT AWAY, THEN CAUSED MY STARTED NOT TO HAVE POWER. THE CAR WOULD TURN ITSELF ON WHILE IT WAS TURNED OFF AND MAKE THE LIGHTS BUG OUT AND HORN SOUND. THEN IT WOULD STOP AND START AGAIN MULTIPLE TIMES DRAINING THE BATTERY. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN STATES AND I STOPPED FOR GAS WHEN MY CAR NO LONGER STARTED AND WAS STRANDED THERE FOR HOURS BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN. ITS STATIONARY WHEN THE CAR WOULD TURN ITSELF ON AND OFF.

THE CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF IN PARK. WCM WAS NOT SENDING SHUT OFF MESSAGES TO PCM

2010 CHRYSLER 300C. THE PUSH BUTTON MODULE IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE KEY FOB NOT TO WORK PROPERLY.

ALTERNATOR FAILS CAUSING ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 5.7L OR 3.6L ENGINE AND A 160, 180 OR 220 AMP ALTERNATOR, THE ALTERNATOR OF THE VEHICLE MAY FAIL, RESULTING IN THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. A FAILED ALTERNATOR WOULD ALSO LEAD TO A DEAD BATTERY, PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM HAVING ELECTRICAL POWER TO START. THE ALTERNATOR IN AFFECTED VEHICLES ALSO COULD POSSIBLY SHORT CIRCUIT, CAUSING AN ENGINE FIRE. THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION. I WAS LEAVING THE COMPANY PARKING DECK. I RECEIVED TWO BATTERY JUMPS THE CAR TURNED ON AND ONCE THE JUMPING CABLES WAS REMOVED AND THE GEAR SWITCHED TO THE POSITION OF DRIVE THE CAR TURNED OFF. I ALSO PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY THIS YEAR AS IT HAPPENED BEFORE EARLIER THIS YEAR

ALTERNATOR FAILED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER TWO JUMPS

IGNITION SWITCH CAUSED ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH STARTING. AFTER THREE TRIPS TO DEALER PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WAS REPLACED. STALLING WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CAUSE FOR A RECALL. NOTE! THE EXPENSIVE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED AT MY COST. I HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICES.
