2016 Chrysler 300 owner complaints

My 4 year old Chrysler started giving off a very strong smell of fresh gasoline each time I filled up the tank. The fumes were so strong I had the car on a lift looking for leaks in the rear of the car. There was no visible leaking of gasoline. The smell was also super strong out side of the rear and sides of the car to the point of fear of someone walking by and dropping a cigar and blowing up from the fumes. The smell was there while sitting and moving. The dealer advised me not to add more than 1/8 of a tank of gas from empty or the fuel would escape from the crack or hole and cause the cancerous smell. The tech at the dealer reported that the fuel was leaking at the filler connector.

When gas tank is filled with more that 3/4 of a tank of gas, fumes are very strong within the vehicle and around it. This continues until the gas tank has less than 3/4 of a tank of gas. There is a recall for the evap canister on my year, make and model...but my VIN is not included.

The contact's daughter owns a 2016 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that the back-over prevention camera displayed a distorted image while in use. The contact stated that an unknown dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

After a recall was performed on 6/11/19 (u08) car started skipping sporadically upon acceleration. This lead to it stalling altogether sporadically upon accelerating from a stop. The dealer (autonation Chrysler Jeep pembroke pines) has not been able to reproduce the problem after 3 weeks and, because it does not show up in the computer, the dealer says it's like it hasn't happened. They have no idea of how to repair my car. It is still at the dealer. I have shown them a photo of the error message on my dashboard: shift to p then desired gear, and a video of the gearshift blinking in drive position. The only way the car will move when this happens is after I place the car in park and then back in drive. This is very hazardous as I am in traffic when this happens at a stop sign or stop l

Tl* the contact owned a 2016 Chrysler 300. While driving 60 MPH, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard and deemed destroyed. The manufacturer inspected the vehicle and the contact was informed that the cause of the failure could not be determined after reviewing the electronic data collection. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000. *dt

Door panels are separating from all interior doors. Separating has caused issues with doors locking and airbag deployment. This is an issue the manufacturer has been aware of for years yet still manufactures cars with this issue. Chrysler and Dodge vehicles. Issue is so common that replacement parts, which are not covered by manufacturer's warranty and can cost anywhere from $1000+ per door, are backordered.

I received a notice in the mail specifying that my vehicle's airbags may have a recall.

The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, an abnormal sound was coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the driveshaft had loosened. The driveshaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to pay the deductible and diagnostic fee. The failure mileage was 49,642.

Electronic transmission control. Engine stalling the light is staying on and the car loses power (lugging) while driving

The car drifts/ moves forward while in park. It caused an accident while initially stationary in a parking lot.

Needed repair for brake shruddering at 51,000km, front rotors had to be machined, brake pads were measured as well, 8mm left on front and 6 on rear. Front pads at 80%, defective front rotors. Chrysler brushed off warranty claim, they stated it is only for 1 year or 20,000km. Must have been material latent defect.

Fuel pump lid is electrical connection is cause a malfunction when fuel up and burning a hole in the electrical connection causing fuel to leak out under the back seat this need to be fix before someone is killed do to a fire this is the 2n time being replace and the same issue

I was driving about 50mph and things started shutting down like the radio and the instrument panel said the car was going into power saving mode. I had about 5 miles to my destination and my car stalled right before I got there but I kept up my speed and was able to coast in. I tried starting it just to see and got nothing. Tow truck came about an hour later and I was able to start it to back it up but when I turned it off, it would not start again. Even being a woman I knew this was not a case of dead battery as it happened while driving. My car was towed to my mechanic and sure enough, the alternator was bad on a 4 year old Chrysler with approximately only 30,000 miles! Apparently there is a recall already on my same year/make/model however "supposedly" the hemi's weren't affected.

The bolts were loose on the driveshaft on the all-wheel-drive, which caused them to have to replace the entire driveshaft! If the driveshaft would’ve broke, whoever was driving the vehicle, whether it be me, or with my son in it, we would’ve wrecked and possibly died! The problem has been confirmed with a certified dealer! There is no warning signals. There was nothing and there is a recall on the same. There is a recall for the exact same problem as my car, and now they will not cover it because it doesn’t show up on the Vin! This is a very dangerous safety issue and Chrys learning to address this as soon as possible! Especially after one of their managers told me it would be paid for if I had a diagnosed with a certified dealer and now they’re saying they’re not paying for it

I was sitting at a stop light waiting to make a left turn when the electrical power steering randomly failed. This issue made it near impossible to turn the car and caused me to almost crash into a light pole when I tried to make the left turn. I then made an attempt to turn into a parking lot to get off the road almost causing me to wreck the car a second time. I have been told by multiple mechanics that this electrical power steering failure is not a common issue with newer vehicles. I want to submit this claim to make it known this make and model has this issue

After fueling my car and leaving the gas station the car dies when I come to a stop. I restart the car, and they it stutters, goes, stutters, and then will die again when I come to a stop. This is at low speeds. *tr

The oil filter housing w/sender unit leaks oil under the upper intake plemun. The oil filter Chrysler installed in the vehicle is plastic.

On low beam headlights produce very low light making it difficult to drive at night. High beams produce lots of light and is great. Went to dealer and was told they have had other complaints about the headlights. They have no fix for this. Called Fiat-Chrysler customer service and they have no fix for this problem. My only fix at this time is to drive with at night with high beams on. I purchased this vehicle 0n 08/18 as a pre owned program car.

The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 300. The contact stated while the vehicle parked, she noticed that the interior door was separating from the door frame showing the padding on the front and rear driver’s and passenger’s side doors. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer to have the vehicle inspected. The contact was informed that the sun or the heat had warped the parts connected to the door panels. The dealer recommended that the door panels be replaced. The contact was concerned that replacing the panels with the same type of panels would result in the same kind of failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
