2017 Chrysler 300

These are unverified consumer reports filed with NHTSA, shown as submitted.

• 12/29/2023· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION

  The vehicle's LCD screen has become delaminated which causes the control of the radio, air conditioning, navigation, and other features controlled by the "radio" portion of the car to become dysfunctional. The car will randomly beep, change air temperatures, start navigation, cause the loss of hands-free communication. This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to AC/heat, navigation or radio (volume, etc.). This appears from Chrysler Forums to be an issue among a large group of Chrysler 300 Year Model 2017-2019 owners. I am encouraging them to file a concern with your group and to ask for a recall of the car for this reason.

• 12/12/2020· SERVICE BRAKES,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  ROTORS ARE WARPED PER MAINTENANCE CHECK WHICH I BELIEVE IS FROM THE EMERGENCY BREAKING. 43400 MILES FROM LEISURELY DRIVING AND BRAKE PADS ARE STILL GOOD. WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWNHILL AND APPLY BREAKS, CAR STARTS TO VIBRATE. THEN AT TIMES OF HIGH SPEED OF 70-75 THE BLIND SPOT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SIDE SENSORS STAY ON UNTIL I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

  The contact owns a 2017 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the display screen intermittently failed, which caused the navigation system to become inoperable. The display screen controls the navigation and HVAC system. The contact who is deaf and relied on the navigation system for commuting. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed that the display screen might fail due to the high temperatures in Florida. The display screen needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN and the vehicle was out of warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.

  My UConnect system periodically goes berserk and the radio changes from FM to AM, flashing on the screen between the radio and navigation system. Bluetooth won't work. My heat control settings do what they want. My backup camera sometimes stays on. The whole system sometimes shuts down than comes back on. The back up camera issue started about a year ago and is sporadic. The radio/navigation/heating issues just started about a month ago. This too is sporadic. I never know when it is going to happen. It is extremely distracting!!!! I can take the vehicle to the local dealer for inspection upon request. I will actually need to call to get this fixed, but I am hoping to receive a recall as I have read that there is/was a class action lawsuit for UConnect problems. These issues just happen right out of the blue, there is no warning of any kind. Needless to say I am not happy!

• 11/16/2023· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,AIR BAGS

  The vehicle components started failing first with lighting and electrical malfunctions. Due to the concerns I was on the way to the mechanic on 9/16/23 when the air bags deployed on the passengers side without any impact. The Vehicle is at Chrysler dealer on central avenue Albany, NY and available for inspection. I had just dropped off my grandchildren this could have severely had a horrible impact had they been in car. Not to mention it scared me, I was not sure what was happening. I was scared to get back in the car. I was driving on interstate this is scary for anyone driving with no visibility. Chrysler currently has the vehicle since 9/19/23. I have reached out to dealer and Chrysler Corporate office with no result. They always say they will get back to me. Unless I reach out they do not respond. Claim # [XXX] with Chrysler corporation. They vehicle has been inspected by manufacturer James Brozovich on 10/26/23 works with Bosch automotive service solutions Work #(734)979-5827 Cell # (586)215-8547. The radio would blink in and out and if radio worked headlights did not work. If headlights worked radio and dashboard light did not work. Air bag light and engine light came on one time when on the way to the shop. Vehicle was on the way to shop due to electrical concerns.

  Delaminating screen causing all sorts of issues while driving. Changing stations, favorites, attempting to make calls which could lead to calling 911 in error, turning back on after I’ve turned it off trying to avoid the car from calling randomly, adjusting climate, etc. all on its own. This is a known issue since 2015. Class action lawsuits have been filed. This is a huge safety hazard and a recall should be done. This is going to cause many crashes!

• 09/22/2022· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  My 2017 Chrysler 300s has a screen that is delaminating which started about a year ago and now it's causing horrible issues. Just the other day on a trip home, I had my car play going and all of a sudden the screen was just clicking on icons randomly everywhere. And then it started making calls to both my son and daughter. There was nothing I could do as I was driving home on the freeway. When I got to my garage it took sometime for me to get it to stop. Even after I turned off the car and turned it back on it kept clicking on the icons. And then today it kept switching the radio stations as well as switching from FM to SIRRUS radio. This is a safety hazard as you become distracted by what is happening. I have not taken it in to a dealer and there is no warning when the screen will start doing whatever it wants. This is not a new problem for this model and beyond.

• 07/02/2024· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  The uconnect 8.4 radio navigation can't find a satellite to operate properly. Also the screen is delaminating and making it so selected buttons don't work. Since this is an information and entertainment system that controls everything, including radio, navigation, and hand-free phoning, temperature of the seating, it causes a huge distraction while driving. And the gps not working causes location problems. I believe this also is how the company can find the vehicle if lost. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they can do an update but also state that the this could cause the entire system might not work at all afterwards. Not guarantee that this won't cause more harm than good. As many of these systems that have this problem, there should be a recall to fix this.
