Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler 300C. While driving at an undisclosed speed and approaching a roundabout, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted and driven to the residence. The owner performed a diagnostic test but found a recorded history of the vehicle shutting down in the computer. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure persisted. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V200000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 99,000.

NHTSA ID 11714951 · filed Feb 2, 2026

The vehicle was sold with an outdated battery and later experienced repeated breakdowns. During the first repair visit, the dealership replaced the battery and alternator but failed to identify the root cause of the problem. The vehicle was returned, but the next day it broke down again. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the wiring harness was severely burnt and melted, creating a significant safety hazard that could cause stalling, fire, or total electronic failure. The dealership later diagnosed a PCM failure, which was not detected during the first repair visit. The wiring damage and PCM issue were not disclosed to the vehicle owner by the dealership, and there was no explanation provided for the cause. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership during the second visit, and photographs of the wiring damage are available. The electrical system and engine control were compromised, placing the driver and others at risk of sudden vehicle failure while driving.
