general problems of the 2011 Chrysler 300

I have three Chrysler, Dodge cars and all three of them are having the same problem. Catalytic converter is messing up on three of them at the same time. One of them is a 2011 Chrysler 300 with only 80,000 miles, 2010 Dodge nitro truck with over 100,000 miles and a 2012 Dodge avenger over 100,000 miles. I feel that Dodge Chrysler Jeep should have this as one of the recalls. The 2010 Dodge nitro truck my daughter was driving just cut off on her on the freeway when she stopped in traffic. And the 2012 Dodge avenger is sitting up in my drive way not being driven because of its so expensive to get them repaired. My 2011 Chrysler 300 and 2010 Dodge nitro truck is going in the shop to get the repairs done, but I feel Dodge, Chrysler Jeep should be eating up the cost for these repairs. The Dodge truck stopped on her oct 15th on the freeway, during traffic hours.

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 5 separate occasions, the vehicle indicated vehicle is in park. However, this has happened while vehicle is in motion. Once, on highway and remaining four times occurred on city streets. On all 5 occasions, vehicle would allow me to put into park but would not allow me turn vehicle off. 4 of 5 times this occurred, I drove around while occasionally stopping to put car into reverse and back thru gears again before it'd finally let me park and turn off. 1 of 5 times, the car let me put into park and press start button until it went to 3rd setting before it'd allow me turn vehicle me off. In addition, 2 times this vehicle, while in motion on city street, has switched into 1 or 2 drive gear without my putting it there. Once stopped, I had to try going thru gears many times before it'd let me return to d. My belief is there is an issue with shifter or perhaps an issue with whatever ties in or attached to shifter. I apologize I'm not mechanically inclined. I do have pictures and a video of car not shutting off because it states it's in park when it's not.

The vehicle intermittantly says it is not in park when it is and will not shut off.

Fcw off, abs & traction warning lights on simultaneously while driving. Happened first time on 8/14/17 and again 9/12/17.

My rear view camera will show objects on the opposite side of the vehicle at different times while the vehicle is moving or stationary. The rear view camera image doesn't appear on the screen at different times while the vehicle is moving or stationary.

I own a 2011 Chrysler 300 with just over 46,000 miles. My wife is the driver of this vehicle. Having trouble with turning off the engine. Gear shift is in "park" but information screen says "vehicle not in park" thus will not allow me to turn off the engine. This has been happening periodically since may 2016 and has gotten progressively worse. I took car to Chrysler service center on 07 19 16, and after 1 & half days, on 07 21 16 I was told to pick up vehicle, and that they "could not duplicate customer concern. " their solution was to try shifting back to drive and then to park, or hold the shifter in park. This should not be happening!! this is not normal!!! immediately at my first stop and remainder of the day, I could not turn of the engine right away; it takes up to 9 minutes of shifting back and forth to drive and park before it finally shuts off. Today, 07 31 16, for the first time in my life, with the emergency brake engaged, I had to fuel my car with the engine still running because I could not shut it off!!! I was terrified the whole time because of the danger of explosion. Then driving down the road, the "vehicle not in park" message was still on. I could not clear this message. Then when I arrived at my destination, it took another 5-6 minutes to turn off the engine. I have to sit in my car until I can shut it of because I'm afraid it will somehow engage and possibly to damage to property or injure someone, even myself. I'm taking the car back to Chrysler again tomorrow if I can get an appointment.

The cars altenator failed causing the engine to stall (shut down) we were traveling on the back side of a strip mall on florin road. Popping the hood revealed that there was smoke and a lot of it. We had to pay to get the car towed home.

I was starting my day at 4:00am I auto started my car like I do every day and leave to work. On this day I went to my car and it was off I thought this was odd but I got in my car and it start and I was on my way. I drive 3 miles to work I was at the hill to turn in to when the battery light came on and the car it felt like it was going to stall. At that time I turn to go up the hill and some other light started to flash not even 30 second later the car stopped in the middle of the road the light all went out and I was sitting in the dark I tried to turn on the hazard light but all power was out the car I sat in the middle of the road for over a hour and a half for a tow truck. When the tow truck got there he had trouble trying to get the car on the flat bed the rear tires of the car would not turn so he had to readjust the car several times to get it on the truck.

So, I was parked waiting on hubby to get out of the store, with the car on, since he was just going to pick something up fast, it started to smell, like something was burning, like really bad, even my son, was complaining about the smell. Hubby comes back, and I tell him, and he said it smelled like burnt plastic, so we exit the parking, and on my way home, I felt the car weird,I proceeded, to a drive thru, where the smell came back again, we heard a weird noise, but didn't think any of it, as I was exciting the drive thru, the light of the battery came on, then all the lights in the car popped up, causing the car to stall, I parked, and turned off the car, and popped the hood open, there was smoke and smelled like it was burning, we with our kids got off the car, and waited a couple minutes, I called the Chrysler dealership, and they told me, I had to tow it and take it in. Hubby, turned it back on and it started making a loud noise, and the car started getting feeling forced, he turned it off again, and it felt heavy. We waited 20 minutes, and since we were just a block away from home, hubby drove it back home, and since then haven't moved it. .

I would like to know when the part for recall #p60/NHTSA 14v-634 will be available? it makes me very anxious & nervous to drive around knowing that my car could experience a rapid failure at any time causing me or someone else injury or death! it is not acceptable to me that Chrysler cannot give me an estimated time of when this "alternator diode" will be available. I have called Chrysler corporation and they "do not have any idea" and really seemed irritated that I was calling about the problem. They said "you will be notified when the part is available!" very rude-and totally unacceptable. My dealer has no idea either. I believe I deserve a better response and a timely fix for this problem. I will never buy another Chrysler product again. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

On October 11, 2014 I had driven my car twice that day. That evening while dropping my little cousin back home, my car started sputtering, lights started blinking and the car cut off and would not turn back on. It was completely dead, no power or nothing. I am highly disappointed in Chrysler. I have had this car not even five months and this has happened. Now it's just sitting in my yard and I am having to catch a taxi to work. It to beautiful of a car to just sit there. I took it to the dealership and they completed a diagnostic and said it was the alternator and they want $800. 00 to repair. Can't afford to fix it, because all of my money is going towards taxi fare, and the warranty doesn't cover repairs. Just imagine if I were driving with my kids in the car and this happened.

While driving the vehicle, the tpms light would come on and go off sporadically. We stopped at a local gas station to check the pressure and all the tires had adequate pressure. I had the tires balanced and rotated to see it that would correct the problem and had the front end aligned. This still did not correct the problem. Finally fed up, I took the car to a local firestone to have them check the system. Firestone changed the sensor on the front driver side. When I left, the car was fine, no errors. On my way to work on the following day, the light came on again. I returned to firestone and this is when they shared with me that the sensor that was bad was not the one that they changed, but the one in the rear. As a courtesy, they changed the rear sensor free of charge. However, the reading on the car was still faulty. By the time I got to work, thirty-five minutes later, neither of the sensors that firestone changed were reading by the car. The tire pressure for both tires read --. I called a Chrysler dealer in tacoma to have the car checked out there. I did not tell them that I had two sensors changed already because I wanted to know what their diagnosis was on the car. Ironically, they said that I needed four tpms sensors and it would cost $900. When my husband told them that I?d already had two sensors replaced, they came back saying that either the work was not done correctly or they did not recode the sensors to the car. My husband then took the car back to firestone;firestone put four brand new original Chrysler tpms sensors on the car, free of charge. The sensors still were not reading. The Chrysler service department had him bring the car in. They cleared the codes ? the car was fine for a little while. Before I was off work, the sensor on the driver front was again reading --. The code will clear itself, then come back on.
