2015 Chrysler 300 Problems

Car is going crazy key won't work then it will then it won't mover then it won't work wipers stay on even when off all lights go on computer won't get a scan when it's not working it's an electric tcm pcm issue that was a recall for these cars but was told for some reason mine wasn't part of the recall now I'm having issues with that same electric and pcm tcm issue Collin at chrysler customer care told me I had to make a complaint my car is unable to move out of no where greatly hindering me

1. Rear differential failed before 100,000 miles. I was driving and I heard something metal fall in the back of the car. I pressed gas but was not able to move. After inspection and call for help, the part that fell on the ground was the rear differential. How can it just fall out while driving? I had to get it towed and repaired by a mobile mechanic. 2. The sunroof switch is faulty. Several times it has gotten stuck and won’t close. If it starts to rain, I have to pull over on the highway, cut the car off and on a few times and press the button until it closes. The sunroof will move forward like it’s going to close but doesn’t; it moves back and forth like it’s stuck on something. 3. The shifter is incredibly rough and hard. It sounds like something falling out of the car every time I shift from park to reverse and back to park. Very loud and the entire car jerks when shifting. There was a previous recall but the problem still persists. I’m afraid something else will fall out while driving.

This issue has been going on since February 2024. The vehicle will completely shutdown while driving ( no matter what speed I'm going ) it will say SERVICE THE SHIFTER and stop. The first time this happened I took (towed bc vehicle willl have no power since this a SAFTEY issue ) the Vero beach Chrysler dealership the vehicle to Commuter Cars in Port St Lucie which is the dealer I purchased the car from. They kept the vehicle for 2 weeks. I paid 644$ they said they replaced the shifter and that was the problem. 2 weeks later the same thing happened while driving , I took ( towed )the car to Chrysler . Chrysler charge me 200$ and said there was nothing wrong it was the safety recalls. 5 months later it happens again I take the car to Chrysler they charged me 1000$ and said it was some type of connecter . A month later it happens again I (towed) it to chysler they said the ECM shifter module had dried up coffee on it and they wiped it off and its working fine. They charge me 445$ said it needed a battery. Now it has happened again 2 months later and they are just now saying my ECM SHIFTER is bad. The service manager was rude and disrespectful. I have our conversation recorded. I said WHY am I just now knowing this after spending thousands of dollars towing this vehicle back and forth. My son and I could have been in a major accident because the car shuts completely down while driving. They never once check this and the car has been to them 4 times.

The oil filter housing cracks due to the plastic material it is made out of causing immediate loss of oil and disabling vehicle in traffic.

This will be my 3rd time having this [XXX] Plastic oil filter/cooler housing replaced and this will be 2nd time having done less than a 2yr time-frame... But this time; after getting the oil changed at Walmart today, my car was about to catch on fire from majority of the oil was running done on the passenger side of the car where the transmission sits and burning off of the Hot [XXX] Catalytic Converter! It's [XXX] shame that Chrysler/Mopar had more than enough complaints about this well known Catastrophic Issue and won't take any Accountability for it... That's why Dorman [XXX] and a few more companies had at least stepped up to the plate and created an better version, of the oil filter cooler housing. Not only is it better but is also all aluminum and doesn't warp or become brittle under extreme conditions from atmospheric temperatures nor engine heat! [XXX] which eventually manifest as severe oil and coolant leaks. The number of complaints regarding the Pentastar V6 oil filter housing and cooler assembly is staggering. See them here, at [XXX] . There have been so many complaints – with the OE replacements even, that Chrysler has discontinued the manufacturing of the Pentastar oil filter housing and cooler assembly. Even more surprising is that Chrysler has known about this problem for a long time and has never issued a recall.

Strong fuel Oder in car after fueling. It's been venting in the cabin and it makes you lightheaded after some time of driving. I've checked for leaks and no leaks. I suspect fuel is gathering under rear seats. The smell seems to be most prominent around the rear D/S seat and near the fuel nozzle entry area.

Headlight keeps failing. New bulb and worked for a bit then out again. Maybe fuse or wiring issue? Expensive to keep buying bulbs.

Lights in dash blink back and forth between bright and dim. When this happens headlights turn off. This happens frequently. Did not realize until recently that headlights were also affected.

My car has 122,760 miles and has had multiple fuses blow repeatedly. In the last 2wks. Today is 06-21-2023 I can change a fuse and it will blow within 15miles. Also the trim going around my windshield has disintegrated. It literally crumbled into pieces when I touched it. I noticed this almost 3 yrs ago.

TAKATA INFLATOR I AM GETTING AN IMAGE OF ALL FOUR TIRES KEEPS INFLATING AND DEFLATING IN DIFFERENT AIR SIZE OF ALL FOR TIRES LIKE IT HAS MIND OF ITS OWN AND IT ACTS IF IT HAS AN AIR PUMP BUILT IN THE FRONT TIRES SAYS LEFT TIRE HAS 32 AND RIGHT TIRE HAS 33 THEN ALL IN A SUDDEN THE LEFT TIRES INFLATS AIR AND IT BECOMES 34 RIGHT SIDE STAYS THE SAME 33 THEN BACK TIRES DOES THE SAME THING IT GIVES ITS OWN AIR AND TAKES AWAY AIR ON THE OTHER SIDE. WHAT IS GOING ON IT SEEMS DANGEROUS AND THE IMAGE OF MY CAR IS ON DASH BROAD. IT WAS IN MOTION WHILE I AM DRIVING AND EVEN IF I PARK THE CAR IT CHANGES AIR LEVEL OF THE TIRES WHEN I AM DRIVING ON FREEWAY OR ON THE SIDE STREETS. I THINK ITS THE LEVELING I THOUGHT IT NEEDED AIR AND I PUT AIR AND IT CONTINUED TO PUT AIR ON ITS OWN AND TAKE AIR OUT ON ITS OWN. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE DATA SYSTEM DO YOU THINK THAT SOMEONE HAS GOTTEN INTO THE SYSTEM OF THE CAR? I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300 YEAR 2015 I JUST GO THIS CAR TWO MONTHS AGO THIS IS SCARY CAUSE I NEVER IN LIFE EXPERIENCE THIS BUT I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

ON A LEVEL SURFACE WITH AND WITHOUT THE AUTO RUNNING, SEAT BELTS ARE FULLY EXTENDED, AND WILL NOT RETRACT.

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 300S HAS A DIAL GEAR SHIFT THAT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. I RESIDE IN ND AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE FRIGID WEATHER. THE CARS DIAL SHIFT WAS STUCK AND II HAD MY TWO CHILDREN WITH ME IN THE COLD -40 TEMP AND -30 WINDCHILL. I HAD TO WALK TO GET HELP AND LEAVE MY KIDS IN VEHICLE. AFTER BEING STUCK FOR 4 HRS, I TRIED IT AGAIN AND THE SHIFT WENT INTO GEAR. IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL OCT 20TH AT 10:38 AM. THE WEATHER WAS NICE BUT THE SHIFT ONCE AGAIN LEFT MY KIDS AND I STRANDED AFTER PARKING AT A THRIFT STORE. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND 1 HR THE GEAR WORKED AGAIN. I'M A WIDOW WITH 2 UNDER AGE KIDS AND NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND THIS IS NOT IT. THE RADIO CHANGES STATIONS WHEN IT WANTS, AND THE HEATED SEATS AND HEAT WORK WHEN USED. THE HEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WORKS WHEN IT FEELS BUT THE AIR DOES BLOW. THERE IS JUST NO HEAT!! FOR NORTH DAKOTA THAT'S NOT GOOD !! MY CAR IS CHRISTINE OR YOU BUILT A DANGEROUS UNSAFE CAR !! NOW, I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE DIAL SHIFT WILL COST ME $400, THE SEATS $300, AND THE ELECTRIC PROBLEMS ARE STARTING AT $500 PER BISMARCK REPAIR SHOPS, INCLUDING CHRYSLER!! I AM TAKING MY CAR TO EIDE CHRYSLER OCTOBER 27TH AT 9 AM AND WILL HAVE TO PAY LABOR COSTS WITH WHATEVER EXTRA THEY CHARGE BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT PPOR AND UNSAFE!! THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OFF BOTH TIMES. WHEN GETTING IN TO START IT , THE SHIFT WOULD NOT WORK. THE FIRST TIME WAS VERY COLD, THE SECOND WAS A NICE DAY. THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON FOR THESE EXPERIENCES.

MY REAR SUNROOF EXPLODED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES AN HOUR ON AN OVERCAST DAY WITH AN OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE OF APPROXIMATELY 52 DEGREES (F). MY WINDOWS WERE ALL CLOSED. WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A BIG BANG, AND WITHIN SECONDS I NOTICED THAT ME REAR SUNROOF HAD A LARGE HOLE IN IT. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE THE CAR DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR 15 MONTHS AGO. THEY INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND NOTED THAT IT WAS AN OUTWARD EXPLOSION AS THE REMAINING GLASS IN THE SUNROOF WAS PUSHED OUT, NOT IN. THEY ALSO INSPECTED THE CAR FOR ANY SIGNS THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE EXPLODED WITHIN THE CAR AND SHOT THROUGH THE ROOF - THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO SUCH SIGNS. THE CAR DEALERSHIP CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE DAMAGE AS IT WAS OBVIOUSLY THE RESULT OF SUBSTANDARD GLASS OR A DESIGN FLAW. CHRYSLER DENIED COVERAGE. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR EXPLODING SUNROOFS AND FOUND OUT THAT MY EXPERIENCE WASN'T UNIQUE. THERE WERE MANY ACCOUNTS OF OTHER SUCH INCIDENCES, AND EVEN SOME RECALLS BY ONE OR TWO CAR MANUFACTURERS. MY CONCERNS ARE: 1) SAFETY. I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR, AND WAS NOT HURT. HOWEVER, I'M NOT SURE IF I HAD BACKSEAT PASSENGERS IF THEY WOULD HAVE ESCAPED INJURY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IF THE FRONT SUNROOF (OVER MY HEAD) WOULD HAVE EXPLODED INSTEAD OF THE REAR SUNROOF. 2) RESPONSIBILITY. THE DENIAL OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS INCIDENT BY CHRYSLER IS TROUBLING. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY AND EVEN PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS EXPLOSION WAS OBVIOUSLY CREATED BY A DESIGN FLAW OR THE USE OF SUBSTANDARD GLASS. 3) COST. THOUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RATHER EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR
