DEATH TRAP...I AM DULY NOTICED (P60/NHTSA 14V-634) OF A DEFECT IN MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300 PURCHASED FROM BILL LUKE CHRYSLER JEEP & DODGE INC. ON 11/25/2012 IN THE AMOUNT OF $33,768.39. THE NOTICE CAME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC TO SPECIFIC OWNERS. HUGE TYPE..."IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" CHRYSLER GROUP TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE NO TIMELINE FOR COMPLETING THE REPAIR...IN FACT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. IT APPEARS THAT THE PART NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED BEFORE CHRYSLER GROUP CAN BEGIN THE REPAIR PROCESS. A "REASONABLE" TIME FOR COMPLETING THE REPAIR IS NOT ON THE TABLE. BILL LUKE CHRYSLER JEEP & DODGE, INC. AND CHRYSLER GROUP LLC HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE LOANER OR RENTAL CARS DURING THE TIME IT WILL TAKE TO COMPLETE REPAIRS ON THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. I REFUSE TO OPERATE A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE BEEN DULY NOTICED IS DEFECTIVE AND MIGHT BE THE INSTRUMENT CAUSING ACCIDENTAL PROPERTY...

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE FOR ALTERNATOR DIODES, SAYING CAR MAY STOP OR NOT START. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE COMPANY CAN TELL ME WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE CAR. I BELIEVE IT TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT MAY/WILL STOP WITHOUT NOTICE. I NEED BETTER INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER. *TR

THE CHRYSLER 300C WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. TRIED TO START IT AND NOTHING HAPPENED. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) LIGHT FLASHED. ALL SYMPTOMS POINTED TO A LOW BATTERY. JUMP STARTED 300 FROM OUR OTHER CAR AND DROVE TO THE DEALER. BY THE TIME I GOT THERE THE BATTERY WAS CHARGED FROM THE GENERATOR. DEALER KEPT IT FOR 5 DAYS AND COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THERE WERE OTHER ANOMALIES ON THE ROAD. CAR WOULD EITHER NOT ACCELERATE OR ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING. THIS BECAME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE INTERSTATE. COUPLE WEEKS PASSED AND START PROBLEM REPEATED, BUT THIS TIME THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. ONE SYMPTOM I NOTICED WAS THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH YOU HAVE TO DEPRESS WHILE ACTIVATING THE PUSH BUTTON START WAS LOCKED AND WOULDN'T MOVE. REPEATED THE ABOVE DRILL WITH THE SAME RESULTS. THIS TIME, DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR 11 DAYS...

MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF DEAD BATTERY / LOSS OF POWER. CHECKED THAT NO ACCESSORIES HAD BEEN LEFT TURNED ON. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER WITH EACH OCCURRENCE BECAUSE EVEN WITH CHARGING / JUMP STARTING BATTERY, BATTERY LOSES CHARGE AFTER A FEW DAYS. FOUND RECALL INFO ON NHTSA WEB SITE, PROVIDED THIS TO DEALER, DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL, EVEN STATED THAT THE PRINT OUT WE PROVIDED FROM NHTSA WAS FAKE, CLAIMS THEY CANT FIND ANY ISSUE WITH VEHICLE AND INFORMS US THAT IT IS OWNER ERROR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS NONSENSE BEFORE IT WILL BE ADDRESSED. DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY USELESS OR ISSUE CAUSES VEHICLE ACCIDENT? *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CHRYSLER 300C ARE TERRIBLE. ON HIGH BEAM THEY ARE IN THE TREES, LOW BEAM THEY ARE STRAIGHT AHEAD NO SIDE LIGHTING. NOT A SAFE SITUATION. *TR

ELECTRONIC SHIFTER FREQUENTLY, UNABLE TO CHANGE FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE OR REVERSE TO DRIVE IN A TIMELY MANNER. SITUATION: STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, AUTO IN DRIVE, TO AVOID AN ONCOMING VEHICLE MUST SHIFT INTO REVERSE. OFTEN RESULT: 1(FOOT MUST BE ON BRAKE, THEN D>P, OR D>N, OR D STAYS D, OR ANY COMBINATION. 2)(AS MOST DRIVERS HAVE DONE) ENTERING TRAFFIC IN D OR R. NOT SEEING ONCOMING HAZARD, NEEDING TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS QUICKLY, SHIFTING TO THE CORRECT GEAR OFTEN NOT ACCOMPLISHED. *TR

MESSAGE "BATTERY IN SAFE MODE" COMES ON AT ABOUT 11 TO 15 MPH. THIS IS A TWO MONTH OLD CAR WITH ONLY 2100 MILES. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE PERSON STATED THAT IT WOULD COME ON AT START UP. IT DIDN'T. WHEN I SAID THERE WERE SEVERAL CASES REPORTED ON THE FORUMS, SUCH AS THE 300C FORUM, REPORTING BAD BATTERIES HE LAUGHED AND SAID THAT WASN'T THE CASE. THIS WAS DURING A PHONE CONVERSATION WHEN THE PERSON HADN'T EVEN SEEN THE VEHICLE. IT WAS ALSO BEFORE I COULD SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE NUMEROUS POSTS ABOUT THE ALTERNATOR/REGULATOR GOING BAD AND KILLING THE BATTERY. *TR
