THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS CAR BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS BE CAUSE IT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT IS A REBUILT SALVAGE AND THE REGISTRATION IS IN CT. I THINK THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE AIR BAG WAS NEVER DEPLOYED ON PASS SIDE. FAR RIGHT FRONT AND UNDERCARRIAGE ON LNCIDENT REPORT ONLY. ALSO CONTROL MODULES FOR CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN IT OFF SHORT CIRCUIT IN VEHICLE WIRING . IF A REBUILT SALVAGE CAN BE SOLD TO ME BY A DEALER THAT IS UNSAFE WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER STAND BEHIND THERE RECALLS. OH THE CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AN I LOVE IT. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE.

45000 MILES THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER ALL OF DASH GOES TOTAL OUT NO SPEED NO TACHOMETER, NO GAS, ALL TEMP GAUGES AND TRACTION CONTROL GO OUT. THE RADIO AND THE REST OF THE CONSOLE GO BLACK AS WELL. CAR WILL NOT TURN ON ALSO YOU CAN NOT USE ALARM SYSTEM TO ENTER VEHICLE. DOME LIGHT DOES COME ON. TRIED TO JUMP START DOESNT EFFECT CAR AS ITS NOT THE BATTERY ITS SOME OTHER COMPUTER ISSUE. AS TOW TRUCK HAULED CAR THE CAR CAME BACK TO LIFE FROM THE JOLT OF ROAD BUMPS. DEALERSHIP STATES CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH CAR. VIEWED SEVERAL CARS WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. I HAVE VIDEO OF SO FAR 2 OCCURRENCES . THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE PARKED SO ITS RANDOM.

I PURCHASED MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300C BRAND NEW FROM A CHRYSLER DODGE AND JEEP CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP. SINCE THE FIRST DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS. FIRST STARTED WITH THE REAR WINDOW SHADE MALFUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING AND FRONT DRIVER SEAT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE THE SAME DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, DEALER SAID THEY WOULD FIX. TOOK MORE THAN TWO TRIPS TO DEALER TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. NEXT AT AROUND 6000 MILES I HAD CYLINDERS MISFIRE WHILE DRIVING, TOOK ME MORE THAN 3 TRIPS TO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO GET PROBLEM RESOLVED. THEY DID NOT TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, JUST FIXED IT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I HAD ALOT OF SMOKE AND BURNT SMELL COMING FROM MY ENGIN WHILE DRIVING, DEALER SAID A GASKET WAS MISSING. I HAD AIR COMING THROUGH DRIVER FRONT AND REAR DOORS. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER TO GET FIXED, SUPPOSIBLY THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT TO THIS DATE I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH AIR COMING THROUGH DOORS AS I'M DRIVING, NOW THE WORSE PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING.ON MID 2016 THE RACK AND PINION GAVE OUT. ON SEPTEMBER OF 2016 ALL MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO GO HAYWIRE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, GAUGES GOING UP AND DOWN, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING BY ITSELF, LIGHTS ON AND OFF ETC, THIS HAPPEND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, WE PULLED OVER TURNED OFF THE CAR, TURNED IT BACK ON STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. TOOK TO DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS POWER STEERING PUMP. SO THEY REPLACED. ABOUT A MONTH LATER MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR ACCELERATED TO HI RATE OF SPEED BY ITSELF. AFTER SHE GAINED CONTROL SHE DROVE HOME. NOW 2 DAYS AGO WE HAD THE SAME ELECTRICAL HAYWIRE MALFUNCTION, THIS TIME AS ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS THAT HAPPENED AS LAST TIME THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF, WE PULLED OVER TO GAS STATION, TRIED TO TURN ON AND CAR WAS DEAD, HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ETC LIGHT ON.THIS CAR HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY.

VEHICLE WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE SET AT 70MPH. VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MINE WAS GOING SLOWER MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AUTOMATICALLY AS IT IS DESIGNED TO DO. I PROCEEDED TO LEFT LANE TO PASS THE OTHER VEHICLE (TRUCK) AS I BEGAN PASSING MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO A SPEED OF OVER 85MPH WITHOUT MY TOUCHING EITHER THE GAS PEDAL OR THE RES BUTTON OF THE CRUISE FEATURE. I THEN HAD TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE AND BRAKE THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. IT WAS TERRIFYING. THIS HAPPENED MORE THEN ONCE DURING MY TRIP. I HAD THE VEHICLE INTO CHRYSLER BEFORE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER TURNED THE HEATED SEAT FEATURE AND HEATED STEERING WHEEL FEATURE ON WITHOUT MY TOUCHING THE BUTTONS. THE CAR WAS REPROGRAMMED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND I AM WONDERING IF THE REPROGRAMMING AFFECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE. *TR
