Drivers side seat warmer burned a hole through the seat cover and burned a hole through the coat I was wearing. I was driving on the highway when I felt �pinching� on my lower back and smelled a burning odor. I turned off the seat warmer and drove the vehicle home. I was instructed by by my local Chrysler dealer to call Chrysler directly and get case number. Did so. . Case number 75085832. Never received a call back after 4 follow up calls. Dealer will not fix until Chrysler looks at it.
While driving at highway speed, the car completely shut down. The engine, interior lights, exterior lights, power steering, and power brakes all shut down. The car effectively was moving on a busy highway with no power. I had to pull over to the road side thru traffic and the car had to restart the car. This has started to happen frequently. I noticed that there were recalls on years prior to and after this year for ignition key issues. I only use the key while driving with no key ring attached. In the last few weeks this has occurred 4 times while at highway speed. In the year that I have owned it, this has happened at lower speeds but less frequently. I am now working evening hours and the lights shutting down has become a bigger issue.
This car has a plastic key fob used as the key. Sometimes I turn the key and nothing happens. I have replaced the battery repeatedly in the fob itself. I wish it had a metal key so I could figure out if it is something in the ignition or in the fob itself. I'm afraid I am going to lose power when driving and crash. The dealer said a new ignition is over $1000 but I am not convinced this will solve my issue. I am also afraid an electrical problem could make my airbags not work or a fire inside. I know Chrysler has recalled 2 million cars for ignition issues but mine has not been included thus far and I'm not sure why. I do not think the problem will magically correct itself, but it is intermittent with no rhyme or reason just depends.
Car was cutting out at random times while driving. Sometimes it would restart itself within 5 seconds sometimes I had to throw it in neutral and restart it. Sometimes all the lights would come on the dash, sometimes no lights. Was not generating a code. It happened at all speeds, very dangerous. Twice I took it in and they couldn't fix it. I thought about it and was suspicious of the key. I put the car in park, started it and tapped on the key. The car stalled. I did this while driving also. I took it to the dealer, told them what I discovered and they replaced the winn(?) module for the small sum of $472. 00. The module is where the key goes in. It's my understanding that some other Chrysler vehicles have been recalled for this problem. They obviously didn't get mine. This happened this summer.

The ignition is either loose and not communication with the other components to properly operate the vehicles and continue to shut off, stall, stop, etc. Etc. Etc. This empirical evidence points in the opposite direction of safety and further more compound this problem. There is a need and explanation given for these destructive mechanical malfunctions. I do not want a death, crash, injury, or fire.
I own a 2009 Chrysler 300c, which has been having consistent problems with the engine shutting off while driving down the busy highway. The vehicle is stalling, quitting, not starting on the first try, fail to keep running once started, or completely stop on its own recognizance. I feel unprotected because my vehicle automatic shut off and could cause death or serious injury. The performance of this vehicle and its equipment is leading me into unreasonable anxiety for my safety due to the sudden stopping in heavy traffic, leading to no steering power, no electric signals, and grave possibility of death. This vehicle is only five (5) years of age and should not be showing signs of inefficiency.
Important safety recall letter received back November 2014. Chrysler admits to a serious problem with ig nitiionn switch with the fobik and they admit in their recall letter that as result of the particular fobik failure could "increase the risk of crash under certain driving conditions. " also, the letter states "fobik" spring back may also cause the disabling of one or more of the vehicle's safety features including the frontal airbags.
