(VIN tool confirms parts not available). *tt consumer stated alternator failure (recall item) burned use

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 abov

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

Seat control module. The adjustable pedals move forward on their own while driving.

The headlights on this model are the worst I have ever seen. Forward vision is severely limited and side vision is practically non-existent. The only incident I have had so far is impact with a raccoon that damaged the front fascia but the raccoon could just as easily have been a person or larger animal. Chrysler needs to address this issue promptly before there is a fatal accident. *tr

The lighting on this car is unbelievably bad. When I purchased the car, I drove it home at night, and almost put it in a ditch twice, due to substandard lighting. Even with the high beams on, it was difficult to see the road. I took it to the dealership the next day and they adjusted the headlights to the upper limits. I can now see better with the low beams, but the high beams shine into the trees. When I took it back to the dealership again, they said that there was nothing they could do beyond what they had already done. I have been reading other complaints of the same safety issue, and it is obvious that this problem in not unique to my vehicle, but extends to the Chrysler 300 built in 2012 and 2013. Lack of proper lighting presents a definite safety hazard at night, and chrysl

The headlight brightness on the 300 model are just terrible. I took it back to the dealership to try to adjust the lights. The dealer told me that these lights are not adjustable and this is how they came from the factory. I explained to them at night I drive with the high beams on and no other cars flash their lights. The low beams do not light up the road even with the fog lamps on. The dealership told me that this was a huge problem on the 200 series but have not heard about this on the 300. This is a safety defect which will result in death. This is a serious issue. *tr

I was driving on keerans street on fort bragg, nc at aprox 30mph when I was hit by a 2012 Chevy express 3500 due to his failure to yield at approx 25mph. None of my airbags deployed and the whiplash caused neck injury and back injury. Chrysler informed me that it requires a minimum speed of 20mph to set off the side impact airbags. *tr

In october 2015 I was driving driving my 2013 Chrysler 300 v6 AWD (with 25,000 miles) on a two lane highway (cruise control was on) when I decided to pass a semi-truck that was traveling well below the speed limit. When I accelerated to wide open throttle (wot) to pass the truck I moved into the opposite lane and saw a car in the distance. I changed my mind, released the gas pedal, and applied the brakes; however, the engine continued to produce full power (appx 4,500-5,000 RPM) for another 4-5 seconds. I applied the brakes fully and was able to slow the car and safely get back to the right lane. I notified the dealer of the incident during a service visit and his response was that the throttle is drive by wire and there is no cable that can get stuck. His solution was to check the floor m

This issue needs to be resolved, a complaint has been filed, where someone hit the wall due to this issue!!!!! Don't let people die!!! Make Chrysler fix this mess! This isn't a car radio not working, or the interior falling apart... This is a life or death issue! *tr
