2008 Chrysler 300 Engine Problems

I informed the dealership of ignition switch recall shortly after purchasing vehicle. The dealership stated " the VIN number shows no recalls". And that was it said there nothing showing up. I KNOW ignition switch is messed up because every time I would turn the car off I could still feel it running. I've had my car a year and now it will not crank due to ignition switch and now fuel air intake is also messing up and has caused cylinder 6 to miss fire. I have been without a vehicle for a month now and I need it fixed. When test driving the car, it would slow down as I was turning into a place of business and almost getting hit by another vehicle.

When taking vehicle for test drive about a month ago, the check engine light was on and after driving it, i noticed when AC was on and when off, the car loses power. When i go to pull out it has no power and i almost got hit in the side every time i would pull out from a busy highway. They had check engine light looked at and they said computer told them it was air valve leak or something like that. I had appointment for them to further assist and they said they could not find anything wrong. I can hear where the valve might be leaking at. The brakes are not good. I had to put on the brakes today fast and brake pedal acted like they were gonna skid out from under my foot. Brakes are new so why is it acting like i have no brakes and there is barley any acceleration. Something is going on and i don't want to be in a car accident just because our warnings are being over looked.

MY WIFE HAD TAKEN OUR 2008 CHRYSLER 300 IN FOR SERVICE WHEN WHILE SITTING IN THE SERVICE LANE AWAITING A SERVICE ADVISOR WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AT IDLE ONE OF THE FAN BLADES BROKE AND WENT INTO THE RADIATOR. WE FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN # CSN-L08. WE COMPLIED WITH SENDING ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION PER THE SERVICE BULLETIN TO CHRYSLER AS INSTRUCTED. AFTER NOT HEARING ANYTHING FOR MORE THAN 60 DAYS AFTER SENDING THE DOCUMENTATION INTO CHRYSLER, WE CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE REIMBURSEMENT WAS DENIED DUE TO SOME KIND OF SALES CODE. WHEN WE ASKED WHAT THAT WAS WE WERE NEVER TOLD AND KEPT BEING TOLD THE SERVICE BULLETIN WAS DENIED DUE TO A SALES CODE, BUT THEY WOULD NOT TELL US WHAT THAT WAS AND THERE IS NO SUCH SALES CODE MENTIONED ON ANY OF THE PAPERWORK AND THE SERVICE BULLETIN DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY SALES CODE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF DOUBLE TALK SO IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REIMBURSED. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THE REQUEST WAS DENIED. WE ALSO HAD IGNITION PROBLEMS PER CHRYSLER RECALL # P57. THIS WAS STILL NOT FIXED. WE WERE TOLD THAT WAS DUE TO NO PARTS AVAILABLE. WE ARE BRAND LOYAL CUSTOMERS BUT THIS IS CHANGING OUR OUTLOOK FOR THE CHRYSLER BRAND. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER'S REACTION TO THIS ISSUE.

MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO CHRYSLER AROUND NOVEMBER 2014 REGARDING MY CAR CUTTING OFF AND PERIODICALLY NOT STARTING.I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM THE FCA AROUND THAT SAME TIME FOR "WIN MODULE AND FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY (FOBIK'S P57".. I HAVE A 5 YR. LOAN ON MY CAR AND CHRYSLER ASSURED ME THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER MANUFACTURE CUSTOMER SERVICE/FIELD OPERATIONS IN AUGUST 2015 STATING THAT BOTH RECALL PARTS HAD COME IN AND I WAS TO CONTACT MY NEAREST DEALER. WELL, THE NHTSA 14V-567 AIRBAG HAD COME IN. IT HAS BEEN CORRECTED.THANK YOU, BUT ALTHOUGH THAT IS ALSO A SERIOUS ISSUE, WHAT IS GIVING ME A PROBLEM IS THE CUTOFF & START. MY FAMILY & I FEEL UNSAFE! NOT TO MENTION NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN DEPEND ON. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN CORRECTED. IT APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE.
