This car has a plastic key fob used as the key. Sometimes I turn the key and nothing happens. I have replaced the battery repeatedly in the fob itself. I wish it had a metal key so I could figure out if it is something in the ignition or in the fob itself. I'm afraid I am going to lose power when driving and crash. The dealer said a new ignition is over $1000 but I am not convinced this will solve my issue. I am also afraid an electrical problem could make my airbags not work or a fire inside. I know Chrysler has recalled 2 million cars for ignition issues but mine has not been included thus far and I'm not sure why. I do not think the problem will magically correct itself, but it is intermittent with no rhyme or reason just depends

While driving at highway speed, the car completely shut down. The engine, interior lights, exterior lights, power steering, and power brakes all shut down. The car effectively was moving on a busy highway with no power. I had to pull over to the road side thru traffic and the car had to restart the car. This has started to happen frequently. I noticed that there were recalls on years prior to and after this year for ignition key issues. I only use the key while driving with no key ring attached. In the last few weeks this has occurred 4 times while at highway speed. In the year that I have owned it, this has happened at lower speeds but less frequently. I am now working evening hours and the lights shutting down has become a bigger issue.

Truck moved into my lane, tried to honk horn(s) but failed to work. Once in a quiet place, discovered horn makes a very faint noise but no honk and no volume from either horn. The fact that it makes a faint noise means it is getting electric signal but failing to work as it should. Extremely dangerous, put my life in danger and now won't pass inspection. Horn not working with engine off is also dangerous in parking situations. *tr

I have a year with my vehicle and it hasn't gave me any problems until now that the automatic transmission fluid needs to get drained. The gears wont shift correctly.RPM's feel as though they are not rising proportionally to throttle input.throttle response feels dead in certain instances.sometimes the car will chirp/spin thetiresoff the line and the RPM's rise quickly, other times you can floor the car off the line and get absolutely nothing.general sluggishness in acceleration -significantly increased drop in RPM between shifts. So I looked it up and I found this article on 300 cars that from the makes 06-10 with RWD models the 42rletransmissionuses 'emcc'.the way it is programmed to operatein this 4 speed transmission causes serious drivability issues atorqueconverterclutch in an autom

I have the automatic transmission and I notice that my matrix will roll backwards if I have a 2009 Chrysler town & country touring with 1000 miles on it. If I am stopped on an incline, while in a forward gear (e.g. Drive). If I take my foot off the brake, the car will roll backwards - like a car with a manual transmission would. Is this normal behavior? I took it to a Chrysler dealership and they stated that it was. *tr

After leaving from a stop and accelerating .... Transmission "kicked" ... Like it wasn't going into next gear. All fluids are checked every 3,000 miles. *tr

I own a 2009 Chrysler 300c, which has been having consistent problems with the engine shutting off while driving down the busy highway. The vehicle is stalling, quitting, not starting on the first try, fail to keep running once started, or completely stop on its own recognizance. I feel unprotected because my vehicle automatic shut off and could cause death or serious injury. The performance of this vehicle and its equipment is leading me into unreasonable anxiety for my safety due to the sudden stopping in heavy traffic, leading to no steering power, no electric signals, and grave possibility of death. This vehicle is only five (5) years of age and should not be showing signs of inefficiency. *js

My Chrysler 300 keeps loosing power. While driving on the highway at 65 MPH the vehicle decides to lose its electrical power and the engine completely turned off. There was no braking power, the steering had no play but I was able to maneuver off to the left side of the road in medium traffic. I believe the keyless ignition system has a horrific defect. It is losing contact. The double sided integrated key, I believe, is losing contact with the integral ignition switch which also contributes to inconsistent starting procedure. *tr

While driving on the freeway my Chrysler 300 died while I was accelerating into heavy traffic going approximately 55 MPH. The vehicle just cut itself off. It lost power to the engine, I lost my power steering, nor could I brake. I was close to being slammed in the rear. I was able to maneuver it to the edge of the freeway because I was luckily in the right hand lane. It took several tries to get the motor to restart. This power loss has happened on several occasions and is very frightening. From time to time I must continue to turn the ignition to the start position. It appears that there is play within the ignition switch and no contact is made preventing it to power on. *tr
