TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR.

MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKERS ON AND OFF. THIS HAZARD ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE LIGHTS GOES FROM DIM TO OFF AT ANY MOMENT WHILE I'M DRIVING OR IF MY CAR IS STANDING STILL. ALSO, MY SIGNAL LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING OUT OF CONTROL. SOMETIMES OTHER DRIVERS CAN SEE THAT I' SIGNALING TO TURN AND SOMETIMES THEY CAN'T. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT MY LIGHTS ARE FINE. EVIDENTLY, THIS IS ONE OF CHRYSLER'S DEFECTS. IN ADDITION, I'VE TROUBLE WITH MY FRONT END WHEELS ON MY CAR. I'VE HAD TO GET THE BEARING THAT KEEPS YOUR CAR GOING STRAIGHT WHILE DRIVING REPLACED.
MY GEAR SHIFT IS STUCK IN PARK AND THE PLASTIC PINK PART HAVE BROKEN OFF. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. I COULD HAVE BEEN STUCK ANY WHERE WITH MY CHILDERN IN THE CAR. THE WEAHTER IS GETTING WARM AND ITS NOT A GOOD THING. WHO EVER IS LISTENING PLEASE RE-CALL THIS PART BECAUSE ITS PLASTIC AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OUT OF METAL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS. PART- SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH.
OUR ENGINE WENT OUT AND NEEDED REPLACED WHEN CAR WAS UNDER 80,000 MILES. IT HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR OVER $3000. NOW WE ARE TOLD THAT THE CRADLE/SUBFRAME THAT HOLDS THE ENGINE IN IS RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING OUR VEHICLE PROBLEMS WHEN TURNING RIGHT. IT'S READY TO BREAK AND CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS IF WE CONTINUE DRIVING IT!!! I'VE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS WITH BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ONLINE THAT PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED TO THE COMPANY. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET A RECALL? A DEATH AS RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT CAUSED FROM DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE KIDS...ITS UNSAFE AND COSTLY... WHAT A JUNK CAR CHRYSLER :( *TR

KNOWN PROBLEM OF HEAVY CORROSION AROUND OUTER RIM (LOCATION OF TIRE BEAD) OF CHROME CLAD ALUMINUM WHEELS ON CHRYSLER 300C VEHICLES. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN CONTACTED AGAIN IN 2008, CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER BECAUSE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THEY WERE ADVISED I HAD THE EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THEY ADVISED THAT WAS NOT BUMPER TO BUMPER AND ONLY THE BASIC WARRANTY WOULD COVER REPLACEMENT. WHEN I ADVISED THAT THE INITIAL COMPLAINT WAS FILED WELL WITHIN THE BASIC WARRANTY PERIOD (19 MONTS, 18K MILES), THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE WHEELS UNDER WARRANTY. AS THE CORROSION PROGRESSES, MY CONCERN IS RIM FAILURE. *TR
ALL FOUR RIMS OR WHEELS ARE PITTED WHERE THE CHROME IS PITTED AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF ALL 4 WHEELS, VEHICLE HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT AND ONLY A YEAR OLD. SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER 3/36,000 BUT CHRYSLER NOT WANTING TO BACK THIS UP AND GET ME NEW WHEELS. I HAVE A 300C WITH A HEMI. *NM

WHEELS ON CHRYSLER 300C ARE CORRODING AND PROTECTIVE COATING IS PEELING. DAIMLER CHRYSLER ADMITS PROBLEM BUT BELIEVES IT RELATED TO CORROSIVE CARWASHES DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WASH MY CAR WITH WATER. AS CORROSION CONTINUES IT WILL LIKELY COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE WHEELS.
THE RIM OF MY CHRYSLER 300C CAR HAS CRACKED WITH NO APPARENT IMPACT. THE CRACK THEN MAKES THE TIRE LOSE PRESSURE. THIS HAPPENED NOT ON ONLY 1 WHEEL BUT ON 2 WHEELS AT 2 DIFFERENT TIMES. HAD TO REPLACE THE RIMS BOTH TIMES.
WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 WITH THE HEMI MOTOR THRU MY SUBDIVISION AT 25MI PER HOUR THE RACK-N-PINION BROKE AND THE STABILIZER BAR BROKE, CAUSING A BADLY BENT RIM, THAT CAUSED THE BOLTS UNDER THE CAR TO BECOME SHEARED OFF, CAUSING A ACCIDENT. JUST AND FYI I PURCHASED THE CAR 12/04 AND THE PARTS BROKE OFF ON 3/19/2005
AFTER HAVING THE TOW HITCH INSTALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THERE WASN'T LOAD LEVELING SHOCKS FOR THIS TRUCK. THIS MAKES TOWING A TRAILER IMPOSSIBLE. THE OWNERS MANUAL INDICATES IF EQUIPPED, LOAD LEVELING SHOCKS CAN BE INSTALLED. THIS INFORMATION IS INCORRECT. *JB
