• 11/08/2023· AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  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.

• 11/06/2023· STEERING,POWER TRAIN,STRUCTURE

  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 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!

  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

• 10/30/2020· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  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.

  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 LIGHT (ESPECIALLY IN LEFT TURN LANE). I DO NOT DRIVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE OF A FEAR OF HAVING TO STOP ALL OF A SUDDEN, AND THE CAR STALLING. I HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED IT SKIPPING WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, WHICH WAS SCARY. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD SENT A STARCASE TO CHRYSLER TO ASSIST IN THE REPAIR, BUT WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, THEY SAID NO STARCASE HAS BEEN FILED. EVEN IF THE DEALER IS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, THERE WILL BE NO RECORD OF IT IN THE COMPUTER. I BELIEVE THE COMPUTER PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS, AS WELL AS THE STALLING HAZARD.

  My door panels are peeling away from the area where the trim and window meet on my driver side and passenger. Upon research, I've discovered this is an issue going back ever since 2014 with Chrysler and Dodge vehicles Upon further research, this issue can lead to issues with side air bags not being able to possibly be deployed (I have not experienced this),driver & passenger window being affected by heating and cooling of the AC (I've experienced this with my windows not being able to adequately defrost fast enough, as well as my windshield), and issues with the doors automatic locks not locking. Hundreds of thousands of Chrysler & Dodge owners have experienced this and evidence can be found online, especially in forums - in particular Mopar Forums and Reddit. My vehicle hasn't been inspected by Police, Insurance, Manufacturer in particular to this issue, as I've discovered there's nothing can be done since I'm out of warranty and refuse to pay for this. No warning lamps of that nature have illuminated. This has been an issue since late 2018, early 2019 for me. I've owned my vehicle since May 2018.

THESE WERE ALL WHILE DRIVING, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, STEERING WAS SLIGHTLY EASIER. BUT THAT IS WHERE THE CRASH WITH THE DIVIDER HAPPENED. DRIVING ON CITY STREETS WAS MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE TURNS AND THEY ARE SHARPER. THIS IS NOW COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE.

  Have been having power steering problems over the past few years. Started by displaying a shift to park message while driving, my car would then lose power and shut down completely and power steering would lock up. Have taken to dealerships and independent mechanics and was told it was the wiring harness which they repaired several times and the car continued to have the issue. Approximately 3 months ago I was driving 55mph on highway when suddenly without any warning, the power steering failed and locked up making it very difficult to turn the wheel to get the vehicle off the highway safely. The power steering locking up put myself, my passengers and other drivers at risk bc I had no control over the steering. When I got the vehicle off of the highway a message repeatedly coming on and off saying “service power steering “ and another message saying power steering assist off service system. I was able to get the vehicle home, however the steering was extremely difficult especially in turns which is a major safety concern increasing a risk of an accident. I have done a lot of research about this issue and have found that there are numerous others with the same issue and same make/model as my 2016 Chrysler 300 C. I took the vehicle to another independent mechanic and they told me they couldn’t figure out what is wrong with it. I made another appointment with another mechanic and when I attempted to drive it “manually” as I had to do when it initially started doing this, the electric power steering has now completely locked up and the wheel is not functional at all and power steering has completely failed. This is not only a huge inconvenience but a serious safety hazard and should be investigated by the manufacturer.
