What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2008 Chrysler 300S, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
ON 1/31/18 I TOOK MY CHRYSLER 300 IN FOR THREE RECALL (P57) (R25) AND (S43) WHEN I PICK MY CAR UP I WAS TOLD THAT RECALL P57 WAS NOT DONE DUE TO PART BEING ON BACK ORDER AND IT WOULD BE 2 OR 3 WEEKS. ON 2/1/18 I RECIVED A CALL FROM DEALERSHIP REMINDING ME OF APPOINTMENT 0N 2/2/18 TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR RECALL ISSUES P57 THAT THEY HAD PART SO I DID. AFTER PICKING MY CAR UP ON 2/2/18 I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND MADE A STOP AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY CAR IT WOULD NOT START, SO I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WHAT THEY DID WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING BUT IF I NEEDED A TOW TRUCK TO BRING THE CAR TO THEM THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT, BUT IF IT WASN'T CAUSED BY WHAT THEY DID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. MY CAR HAD NO ISSUES TILL THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE 3 RECALLS, NOW IT WONT START AND THE IGNITION MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN U TRY TO START IT AND CANT MOVE SHIFTER OUT OF PARK. ALSO NO RECALL STICKERS WERE PUT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SHOWING THAT A RECALL ISSUES WAS FIXED AND IT SHOWS ON LINE THAT THE RECALL ISSUES STILL HAS NOT BEEN DONE. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS.
