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.
Car began to loose power under pressure, engine light would flash. Usually when cold or pulling hard on a hill or passing. Engine ran rough, misfiring and out of balance. Could not continue to pass on one occassion; had to pull back, wrangle out of traffic and stop vehicle. Misdiagnosed: replaced plugs, coil & injector on valve #5. Did not correct. Finally diagnosed as bad camshaft. Vehicle has a hemi. Technician stated he has replaced many of these on various engines with a hemi in a four year range. Stated it is a common failure on those vehicles but not listed on a recall. This failure is a safety hazard. Having expectations of the vehicle to accelerate quickly, as it normally would, nearly caused me to get into an accident. Additionally bogged down traffic as the vehicle would not continue at a speed over 45 mph. Traffic became bottlenecked behind me on the interstate until I could wrangle to the shoulder. I also own a Dodge ram truck in the same year range and have been advised by the technician to be prepared for it to go out on that vehicle also.
Camshaft / lifters are prematurely wearing out( wiped ) the car is throwing a p0300 ,p0303 code but the spark plugs,coils etc are fine . . Engine shakes and knocks while driving the smell of gasoline is evident lose of power while driving only 88000+ miles.

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.
Alternator caught on fire while engine was stopped\car parked while driving on interstate, the battery indicator came on, indicating a problem with the charging system. I continued on to my destination about 3 miles. When I turned the car off, there was an obvious smell of something being "hot" and I raised the hood to see if I could see it. The alternator was obviously very hot, and slightly smoking. Assuming it was ok now that I had turned it off, I went inside the building to call the dealer. Luckily, I changed my mind about trying to drive the car any further and decided to have the car towed and went outside to wait for the tow truck. When I got back to the car, the alternator had actually caught on fire and was blazing, dropping some melted materials onto a underbody air dam and appeared to be spreading. I was able to extinguish the fire before any more damage occurred. It appears that the alternator is severely damaged and there is some wiring damage as well as some damage to the surrounding wiring harness. There is no doubt that this fire would have spread to the entire vehicle in just a few minutes, as it appeared to be self-propagating and on its own would not have gone out.
Has had a recall saying it can cause fire if not replace; took in for repair. Tire gauge is always wrong short fuse on all lighters and components check engine went on and know they are telling me they need to replace a malfunctioning cylinder head on a 3. 6-liter pentastar v6 engine. .
Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving, the abs and traction control warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000. Kmj.
