2013 Chrysler 300C Problems

MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING HOME. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THREE DAYS BEFORE FIRE HAPPENED MY CAR KEPT OVERHEATING, BUT IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY CAR WOULDN'T OVERHEAT. GOT HOME AND CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. MY SON RAN OVER TO THE CAR AND TOLD ME TO DISCONNECT BATTERY CABLES CUZ CAR WAS ON FIRE AND WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. SON OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THE FIRE. HE COULDN'T PUT IT OUT. THEN IT JUST WENT OUT BY ITSELF. AFTER EXAMINING THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOUND THAT THE TIPM WAS ON FIRE. OPENED TIPM FUSE BOX AND SEVERAL RELAYS WERE MELTED. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED CALLING CORPORATE. I CALLED CORPORATE AND IT TOOK OVER A MONTH FOR THEM TO RESPOND. FIRST THEY SAID THEY WERE SENDING OUT AN INVESTIGATOR THAT NEVER SHOWED UP. AFTER 4 PHONE CALLS THEY CALLED ME BACK AND STATED THEY WOULDN'T FIX MY CAR. IT WOULD COST ME TO REPAIR THE CAR. MY CAR WAS ON FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. CHRYSLER SAYS THEY TAKE ANY CAR FIRES VERY SERIOUSLY BUT I GUESS MINE WASN'T SERIOUS ENOUGH FOR THEM. I HAVE BEEN WALKING FOR MONTHS. MY NEXT STEP WILL HAVE TO BE SUING CHRYSLER CORPORATION.

ON MORE THAN 20 OCCASIONS, WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY 'SHUTS OFF'. EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY OFF. ENGINE, POWERTRAIN, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. SOMETIMES THERE'S A WARNING LIGHT THAT FLASHES AFTER THE SHUT DOWN THAT LOOKS LIKE A REDDISH ORANGE SIDEWAYS Z LIGHTING BOLT. THE CHECK ENGINE GOES ON SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. WHEN IT GOES ON IT SOMETIMES STAYS ON AND SOMETIMES IT DISAPPEARS. I'VE HAD 2 CHRYSLER DEALERS AND 1 INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND NO ONE CAN PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. SO FAR, I'VE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, HANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PAN, AND HAD THE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED. I'M BEING TOLD THAT 'MAYBE' IT'S THE FUEL PUMP OR THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THE [XXX] HAS ONLY OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO FAR. THANKFULLY, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER EVERY TIME. THAT MAY BECAUSE I AVOID ROADS WITH NO SHOULDERS AND ONLY DRIVE IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HAS RENDERED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING. I'VE DISCOVERED A CURRENT CHRYSLER RECALL, U87 THAT APPEARS TO BE EXACTLY MY SYMPTOMS, BUT MY CHRYSLER DEALER COULD NOT FIND A CODE THAT PROVED IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DRIVER DASH KEEPS COMING ON AND DINGING INDICATING SOMETHING NOT WORKING PROPERLY. CHRYSLER DEALER DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX. WENT TO OTHER AUTO REPAIR TO GET FIXED. THEY REPLACED DRIVER SEATBELT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR $551. IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. HAPPENED A YEAR EARLIER ALSO AND SEPARATE AUTO REPAIR ADJUSTED IT BUT THIS TIME THEY REPLACED IT TO BE SAFE.

C.E.L CAME ON WHEN CAR WAS TURNED ON AND WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THE ESIM WAS BAD. COST ME $640.00 TO REPLACE THIS MODULE. ON A CAR THAT HAS LOW MILEAGE AND ISN'T THAT OLD I WOULD THINK THAT THIS REPAIR IS NOT NORMAL. I WAS TOLD HAD THIS NOT BEEN REPAIRED THE THE FUMES WOULD HAVE BUILT UP AND IF I WAS REAR ENDED THEN THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN EXPLOSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE DRIVING 30-35 MPH, THE SEAT BELT INDEPENDENTLY UNLATCHED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RE-LATCH THE SEAT BELT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,867.

PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE 11 MONTHS AGO AND 6 MONTHS INTO THE CAR THE FRONT SUSPENSION STARTED TO SHAKE REAL BAD, THEN A FEW MOTHS PAST THAT, THE TORQUE CONVERTER WENT OUT AND WAS REPLACED. KNOW THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT OUT.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS PART OF THE TIME AND WILL NOT WORK PART OF THE TIME. THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED, IT WOULD START WORKING AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IT. LATELY IT WILL BE OFF FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THEN WORK A FEW DAYS BEFORE GOING OFF AGAIN. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET FOR SOLUTIONS, I FOUND NONE BUT FOUND LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE IT CAUSES UNINTENTIONAL SPEEDING. IN ADDITION, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PREVENTS THE CAR FROM GETTING TOO CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. AFTER GETTING USED TO THIS FEATURE, I FIND MYSELF GETTING TOO CLOSE TO OTHER CARS WHEN THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT WORKING. THIS IS THE SITUATION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.
