As I was driving my car felt like if it went on neutral. I almost crashed. Stopped. Then it would not come off of park. I kept putting it on drive and it automatically kept going into park mode. The car was still running though. And turns on. It still wont drive. Turns on but doesn't go onto drive mode.

My backup camera works when it wants to mostly not at all. It just flickers when I put the car in reverse. I really need it because of the blind spots. Also since the fuel issue was recalled and fixed my car smells like it's not burning the gas properly. In other words I can smell fumes.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 9 YEARS, AND TAKEN IT IN FOR NUMEROUS OIL CHANGES AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTIONS. ONE ITEM THAT IS INCLUDED TO BE SERVICED IS TO CHECK AND TOP OFF (IF NEEDED) THE POWER STEERING FLUID. DUE TO WHERE THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND PUMP IS LOCATED, THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND FENDERWELL COVER MUST BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE TWO PARTS. THIS IS QUITE A BIT OF LABOR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTION, YET THE SERVICE REP ASSURES ME THAT THE STEERING FLUID HAS BEEN CHECKED, EVEN THOUGH THE NOISE AND STIFF STEERING IS STILL PRESENT. MY CONCERN IS THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT CHECKING THE POWER STEERING FLUID DUE TO A FAULTY LOCATION DESIGN AND THE LABOR REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE PARTS THAT NEED SERVICING FOR ROUTINE MAINTAINANCE; THE ALTERNATIVE FOR THEM IS A PROFITABLE STEERING PUMP REPLACEMENT. FROM MY OBSERVATION, THE FENDERWELL COVER HAS NEVER LOOKED AS THOUGH IT WAS REMOVED TO CHECK THE STEERING FLUID.

I recently purchased this vehicle used with roughly 50,000k miles and drove it for three weeks with no issue. Suddenly, one morning, the motor would not start when pushing the Start Button. Instead the Start button became locked in the Run position but the engine did not engage. I removed my foot from the brake, pushed Start again and it would not return to the Off position. I opened the door thinking maybe it would reset this problem..... the entire dash Icons, headlights, Nav screen, tachometer, and speedometer start flashing and the windshield wipers are going, while stuck in in the off position. A very low pulsating sound is emanating from the engine compartment. I ran to the trunk to disconnect the battery, with the key fob in my pocket, but the button on lid does not open the lid. I run back to the dash and push the trunk release but received no result. I pulled the rear seats down crawled into the trunk and pulled the emergency trunk release and was finally able to open it. Instead of disconnecting the battery, I attempted to jump it with another vehicle. The vehicle was still in the Run position and all of the other components were continuing to malfunction as stated above. The vehicle "started" and began emmiting exhaust but I still had no response in the gas peddle. I then attempted to turn the vehicle to the off position, which worked only after jumping the vehicle and emitting the exhaust. Once the vehicle was shut off I attempted to restart the vehicle as usually and it worked no problem. It has started and ran fine for 2 days but I am extremely concerned about my safety in driving this vehicle due to reading other consumer experiences with a malfunctioning TIPM in this model and year of vehicle.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY. There is a backorder(700) from the factory on this product and the wait is at least 3 months! This problem has been confirmed by the dealership as well as the backorder. The vehicle will not go in gear even with the engine running. The message displays as vehicle is already in desired gear even when it is not, and you cannot put it unto any gear even neutral, as it gets stuck in park!. The code is PO658, and the CHECK ENGINE light is illuminated and can happen without warning while vehicle is parked, stopped or idling so far as I experienced. The ignition will not turn off and the battery must be disconnected in order not to drain the battery. If this were to happen in traffic or or an intersection we all could have been KILLED. It has happened 4 times to us, Two times it started working on its own and Two times requiring a tow which cost me $600. Once at the dealer they charge a $140 non-refundable diagnosis fee and then can't fix the problem because they don't have the parts and can't get them. I think allowing Vehicles to have electronic shifting transmissions instead of manual shifters is a HUGE safety risk! The car only has 70K Highway miles on it and even if it was under warranty we can't get the darn parts. The dealer has to install it because it has to be programmed. The transmission is manufactured by ZF in Germany and they make others for several other car manufacturers. Chrysler uses this transmission across their entire fleet so this failure defect could show up in any of their product line

The front passenger door panel has separated at the top leaving an open gap between the window and the door. It appears that the rubber molding was not manufactured properly and as heat from the sun warms up the molding, it deforms, pulls up and separates. The problem has continued to worsen over time and is approaching the door locking mechanism. It is also now possible for water to get to the inside of the door. This is a NON-MOVING PART that was defective at the time of manufacture, but took time to malfunction.

My car has been at the first dealership (Brewbaker Dodge, Montgomery, Ala.) on November 11, 2020. I got the car back March of 2021. The problem of misfires on cylinder 1 side, hesitation when proceeding from a red light, and stalling out. The problem continued so; I took it to another dealership (Stiver Dodge, Prattville, Ala.) in August 2021. I was given the car back in February 2022 stating to me that the problem may correct itself after being driven until after my birthday (March 2022). So, to this date my car is still at the Dealership and Chrysler Star Team has no clue what is wrong with this car. I'm still paying a car note, insurance, and renewing the license plate for this car every year and moth. Chrysler knows that there is an issue with the 3.6L Pentastar engine. No one wants to help me in this situation, but all parties involved wants my money but no real solution(s). I need someone that's going to advocate for me on my behalf. I just want Chrysler at this point to just put a new engine in the dang car and cover the charges at their expense for their defective engine. Chrysler seriously knows what's going. As long as my car has been at this Dealership For over a year, how could the engineers who designed this engine not know what's wrong with? This car has very low miles to be 8yrs old with major issue. And FCA doesn't want to admit to this engine (3.6L Pentastar) being a defective engine. Look at the class action lawsuits pertaining to this. Please Sir / Ma'am help me make sense of this. Thank you.

On or about February 17, 2022, the referenced 300C was taken to Elk Grove Chrysler due to a malfunction with the electronic shift. The car jumped into Park while in motion which was a Safety risk to others as well as myself. After consulting with service team, I was informed that the car had to undergo a diagnostic. A day later I was informed that there was a fault with the electronic shift which required repaired; however, parts were not in stock at this location. I was informed parts had to be ordered and would take approximately 2-3 weeks due to logistical issues. On Monday, February 28, 2022, technician reported that a part was received for the upper mechanism; however, it was determined that the lower mechanism needed repair. With this being said, these are the concerns I would like to address due to disagreement with the process. 1. This electronic shift was previously repaired in May 2014, due to recall. This issue could have resulted in a major safety issue. 2. Why is a Consumer paying for a "Repair to a Repair?" 3. As a Consumer with a low mileage vehicle under 59,000, why must I be responsible to pay Chrysler for a repair that is a "Safety Issue" and a factory recall issue. Obviously, this is a manufacture concern created by Chrysler. This was due to no fault of the consumer. In closing, as a Disabled widowed Senior Citizen having the car jump into parking during my travels affected my anxiety; causing a panic attack. This repair issue is affecting my health and livelihood. I have been without a vehicle and a means to take care of quality of life tasks. Thank you for your time and attention to my concern.

I have been having trouble with my cruise control lately. If I start my car remotely and then drive my cruise control won't turn on unless I hold down all 4 buttons on my steering wheel. When this happens I also end up having difficulties disengaging it and there will be a 1-2 mph difference from what the cruise speed is set as to what speed the vehicle is actually traveling. I noticed there was a safety recall in regards to this issue that was issued on 05/17/2018 but my Vin didn't register for that recall so I'm wondering if my car was missed or if there are more vehicles like mine having this same issue that wasn't taken care of in the last recall issued.
