general problems of the 2011 Chrysler 300 - part 1

While driving my child to school a short while ago today, my car accelerated on its own and would not brake. I was attempting to stop for an upcoming red light. The car accelerated without me pressing the gas and the brakes went completely out. I was able to avoid a collision. This lasted for under 1 minute, then suddenly the car decelerated and I was then able to brake.

1. Engine oil cooler assembly started leaking, due to oil cooler housing plastic cracked from oil changes at dealership. Leaking engine oil almost destroying engine due to lack of engine oil lubrication leaking on to the ground from the rear of vehicle and on to the ground. Vehicle was taken to the dealership and verified that the component has failed and that chrylser has known of this issue for sometime. 2. I have replaced the bad blend door actuators multiple times on each side of the dashboard, due to the unbearable clicking noise within the dashboard and not letting the ventilation systems change directions in the vehicle.

Can c bus: its a typical issue with the 2011 Chrysler 300. The main code for the can c bus "u000200" after the scan tool, the issues found are abs can c bus off performance: bcm (body controller module) can c bus off performance, sccm (steering column control module) can c bus off performance, radio frequency can c bus off performance. All affect the safety and driveabilty of the car. The car drives and in the midst of driving the car stalls in traffic, the car vibrates really bad, the car seems to lose power on acceleration. Please take a look into this, as this is a common issue with the Chrysler 300.

I have had the vehicle towed 6 times, the vehicle goes completely dead, with new battery, once the vehicle sits for a half a day there is no power to start the car. I have talked to several other people and have had similar problems. I had car towed to Chrysler dealer ship and they said they did not want to work on it? there should be a recall, I have had many Chrysler vehicles but never this type of problem with the electrical. If you park my car on Friday when I get off work, by Monday morning it is completely dead. I have had the vehicle to two local car repair and electrical shops to no avail. (both shop owners said this is a Chrysler manufacture problem) I can be reached at fde991639@cox. Net frank.

2011 Chrysler 300 97000 miles while vehicle is in park push the on off button vehicle will not turn off dash displays vehicle not in park! its been doing it for awhile but getting worse.

The abs, traction control and parking brake light will all simultaneously and randomly illuminate and disappear. I have not had any physical issue with the brake or control of the car. I saw there was a recall back in 2012 for this possible situation but I am not sure if it is the same or if my vehicle was ever recalled. I have had the car for almost 4 years. This issue seems to be very sporadic. While stationary and driving. Sometimes I will turn the car on and it will be there. Sometimes it won�t. It has happened over the last 2 years. I live where it snows and only drive this car in the warm weather months so I have yet to look into it.

So I continued driving hoping to make it home safely with the kids all of a sudden when I made it to the curve in my neighborhood my radio shut down then the all lights lit up in the dashboard area and the car completely shut down in the curve.

I was driving my car and I heard a whine from the engine compartment. The battery indicator light came on and I received a "battery saver mode" message on the evic. I parked the vehicle. When I shut it off, the engine had a strong odor of burning plastic about it. When I got back into my car the power was completely gone. Attempts to jump start the vehicle were unsuccessful.

On my way home from work today, I was driving about 40 mph when I got a battery saver mode message. I had been getting the message a few days now and didn't know what to think of it. A little further into the commute, I started smelling a burning smell. All of a sudden, all of the vehicles systems start to shut down and the car just dies (while I'm driving it)! luckily I was able to pull off into an empty parking lot using the momentum of the car, but I wasn't even able to use my hazard lights. It had completely died. Scary to say the least.
