  ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK TODAY, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN I GOT A BATTERY SAVER MODE MESSAGE. I HAD BEEN GETTING THE MESSAGE A FEW DAYS NOW AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF IT. A LITTLE FURTHER INTO THE COMMUTE, I STARTED SMELLING A BURNING SMELL. ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALL OF THE VEHICLES SYSTEMS START TO SHUT DOWN AND THE CAR JUST DIES (WHILE I'M DRIVING IT)! LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT USING THE MOMENTUM OF THE CAR, BUT I WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO USE MY HAZARD LIGHTS. IT HAD COMPLETELY DIED. SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST. *TR

  SATURDAY MORNING, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY 'BATTERY SAVING MODE' LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. THEN THE WIPERS WENT ON. NUMEROUS OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON INDICATING TROUBLE. THE RADIO WENT OFF ON ITS OWN AND I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO GET IT BACK ON AND NO LUCK. THE ON SCREEN PRINT CHANGED TO ANOTHER LANGUAGE. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY TO HEAD TO THE DEALER AND ON THE EXIT RAMP, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. LUCKILY, WAS IN ONE OF THE TWO LANES AND CARS WERE ABLE TO GO AROUND ME. A GENTLEMAN WHO HAD WITNESSED MY TROUBLE ON THE HIGHWAY PULLED OVER TO HELP ME. I COULDN'T EVEN UNLOCK THE OTHER DOORS OR OPEN THE TRUNK (WHERE THE BATTERY IS LOCATED) AND HE COULD NOT GET IN AS I HAD THE SEAT PULLED FORWARD TO DRIVE AND IT WOULD NOT BUDGE DUE TO NO ELECTRIC POWER. I HAD POLICE WAIT BEHIND ME FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AT MY EXPENSE. THE DEALER ADVISED THIS MORNING AFTER DOING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THE ALTERNATOR BURNED UP THE BATTERY AND I HAVE TO HAVE BOTH OF THEM REPLACED! COST IS APPROX. $1100. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ADVISED THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL. MY ISSUES SOUND IDENTICAL TO OTHERS REPORTED HERE! HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THIS BE ACCEPTABLE? ALSO THIS IS MY 4TH CHRYSLER 300. I AM VERY LUCKY THIS DID NOT OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY ITSELF IN THE MIDST OF RUSH HOUR. *TR

  I WAS DRIVING AND MY BATTERY SAFE MODE LIGHT WAS ON. THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN BEGAN DISPLAYING OTHER LIGHTS SUCH AS MY ENGINE LIGHT AND A CAR WITH SKID LINES BELOW IT LIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER IN MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING MY OTHER LIGHTS BEGAN TO TURN ( MIND YOU IT IS 9:30 ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT). MY CAR BEGINS TO STALL WHILE I HAVE MY SON, AND 3 OTHER CHILDREN IN THE CAR. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD (SAFELY WITH MY LIGHTS OUT) INTO A SCHOOL. NEVER ONE DID I GET A WARNING THAT MY CAR WOULD SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON IN HOPES OF GETTING BACK UP AND RUNNING AND TO NO AVAIL. HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT HAD I BEEN ON MY WAY HOME ON A BUSY I-10 HWY. LUCKILY I WAS DROPPING MY BROTHER OFF AND NEVER MADE IT ON THE HWY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW 3 YEARS AGO AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. CAR IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND I PAID FOR THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE ALTERNATOR BUT WHEN I REQUESTED MY DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR BACK THEY REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO ME WITHOUT PAYING THEM AN ADDITIONAL FEE. I WANTED TO TAKE THE ALTERNATOR TO GET INSPECTED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. *TR

  WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HWY 29 N (THE FOUR LANE) THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND THE BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL AND CAR STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND ALL THE ELECTRONICS WERE GONE. I COULD NOT PUT ON MY EMERGENCY BLINKERS OR GET THE CAR IN GEAR TO PUSH OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS INCIDENT PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER AND IT REALLY COULD HAVE A TRAGIC ENDING. WITH CARS ON ALL SIDES OF ME, NOT ONLY WAS I IN DANGER BUT I HAD FOUR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WITH ME. TWO OF THEM BEING MY SMALL GRANDCHILDREN. A POLICE OFFICER SAW MY DILEMMA AND CAME TO OUR RESCUE TO AND ASSISTED US UNTIL WE GOT THE EVERYONE ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. AT THE DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE ALTERNATOR SHORTED OUT AND DESTROYED MY BATTERY. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS $1450.00 I CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ELECTRONICS AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT ONE THAT HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.. THIS AUTOMOBILE IS TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT HIGH INTERSTATE SPEEDS IF THE ELECTRONICS CAN SHUT DOWN WITH LITTLE WARNING.

• 10/29/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC GOING 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER, THE RADIO FLICKERED ON OFF AND MY CAR WAS STILL GOING BUT MY GAUGES THE RADIO, NOTHING WORKED. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A MAC TRUCK, TRYING TO CROSS OVER THREE LANES TO GET TO THE SERVICE ROAD. THE ENGINE STALLED, IT WAS HARD TO STEER AND LUCKILY THERE WAS A GAS STATION NEARBY. THREE PEOPLE TRIED TO GIVE ME A JUMP AND NOTHING WOKED AND THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNINGS. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK ONLY TO FIND THAT MY ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WERE FRIED. THE WORST THING IS I CALLED CHRYSLER TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE P60 RECALL AND THEY DID NOT OWN UP TO THE DEFAULT UNTIL THE SECOND TIME I CALLED FROM DOING MY OWN RESEARCH. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD FOR ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD DO AFTER THE ENGINE STALLED. I HAVE OWNED THREE DIFFRENT 300S OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS AND THIS WILL BE MY LAST. SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE AND FAMILY MEMBERS TO ISSUES THAT DESERVE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE SPENT ALL DAY ON THE PHONE TRYING TO REPLACE THIS PART AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT CARRIES THE PART IS CHRYSLER, WHAT A RIPOFF. THIS WILL COST ME OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A CAR THAT I HAVE NOT HAD A YEAR AND CURRENTLY STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON. *TR

THEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN, WHILE DRIVING THE RPM INDICATOR WOULD MOVE UP ON ITS OWN AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION AND ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. AFTER THE WARNING CAME ON THE CAR DESPITE PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THEN A RATTLING NOISE CAME ON SO I QUICKLY PROCEEDED TO ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE FREEWAY. AS I TRIED TO DO THAT THE STEERING STARTED LOCKING UP, I HAD TO PUSH VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AND STOP IT. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, UNABLE TO TURN ON OR OPERATE ANYTHING.

  I WAS DRIVING WHEN I SMELLED A "BURNING MARSHMALLOW" SMELL COMING FROM MY CAR. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, THE ABS LIGHT, A CAR WITH ZIGZAGS ICON, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT FLASHED ON MY SCREEN. FOLLOWED BY THE RADIO, AIR VENTS, AND POWER STEERING SHUTTING ITSELF ON AND OFF. WITHIN 1-2 MILES MY CAR WAS DONE. MY ALTERNATOR WAS TOAST. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALL ON THE 3.6 L ENGINE, 160 AMP ALTERNATORS. SO UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY PUT ANOTHER OEM ALTERNATOR IN MY CAR. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT CHRYSLER SENT ME TO, REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WITH A DIFFERENT ONE THAT ISN'T RECALLED. THEY REFUSED BECAUSE CHRYSLER HASN'T "LAUNCHED" THE RECALL YET. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THIS? WHEN THE RECALL IS LAUNCHED I WILL HAVE TO AGAIN REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. APPROX. NOV. 28, 2014.

THAT EVENING WHILE DROPPING MY LITTLE COUSIN BACK HOME, MY CAR STARTED SPUTTERING, LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING AND THE CAR CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, NO POWER OR NOTHING. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR NOT EVEN FIVE MONTHS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED. NOW IT'S JUST SITTING IN MY YARD AND I AM HAVING TO CATCH A TAXI TO WORK. IT TO BEAUTIFUL OF A CAR TO JUST SIT THERE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COMPLETED A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND THEY WANT $800.00 TO REPAIR. CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT, BECAUSE ALL OF MY MONEY IS GOING TOWARDS TAXI FARE, AND THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER REPAIRS. JUST IMAGINE IF I WERE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND THIS HAPPENED. *TR

  ALTERNATOR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE ENGINE WAS STOPPED\CAR PARKED WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE, THE BATTERY INDICATOR CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM. I CONTINUED ON TO MY DESTINATION ABOUT 3 MILES. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS SMELL OF SOMETHING BEING "HOT" AND I RAISED THE HOOD TO SEE IF I COULD SEE IT. THE ALTERNATOR WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY HOT, AND SLIGHTLY SMOKING. ASSUMING IT WAS OK NOW THAT I HAD TURNED IT OFF, I WENT INSIDE THE BUILDING TO CALL THE DEALER. LUCKILY, I CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT TRYING TO DRIVE THE CAR ANY FURTHER AND DECIDED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND WENT OUTSIDE TO WAIT FOR THE TOW TRUCK. WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE CAR, THE ALTERNATOR HAD ACTUALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE AND WAS BLAZING, DROPPING SOME MELTED MATERIALS ONTO A UNDERBODY AIR DAM AND APPEARED TO BE SPREADING. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE BEFORE ANY MORE DAMAGE OCCURRED. IT APPEARS THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS SEVERELY DAMAGED AND THERE IS SOME WIRING DAMAGE AS WELL AS SOME DAMAGE TO THE SURROUNDING WIRING HARNESS. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS FIRE WOULD HAVE SPREAD TO THE ENTIRE VEHICLE IN JUST A FEW MINUTES, AS IT APPEARED TO BE SELF-PROPAGATING AND ON ITS OWN WOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT. *TR

  TAKATA RECALL. EXPECTING ME TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WHERE IF I DO HAPPEN TO GET IN A CRASH, WHEN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY, INSTEAD OF SAVING MY PASSENGERS LIFE AS IT SHOULD, THE AIRBAG CAN DISPERSE METAL FRAGMENTS KILLING PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. YOU SHOULD BE RECALLING ENTIRE VEHICLES BASED ON THIS DANGER AND REPLACING VEHICLES.
