general problems of the 2011 Chrysler 300

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.

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.

My brakes go to the floor intermittently. I have to pump several times to get brake function back. I drive in stop & go traffic 5 days per week to and from work. Have taken the car to the dealer shop 4-5 times. They cannot replicate the problem. It is very scary & unsafe. I don't know what to do.

Chrysler safety recall p60 failed twice (NHTSA recall #14v-634). Unfortunately today (less than 1 week after 2nd replacement) the alternator failed again leaving the vehicle acting erratically without power steering or power brakes or the ability the shift gears while driving kids to school. Thankfully it was on local streets and able to pull over safely. Sansone (Chrysler dealership) has now twice performed this Chrysler 300 safety recall p60 (electrical/alternator) repair without success. We have opened a new case with Chrysler asking to have it performed at a trusted repair shop in metuchen and receive reimbursement. They have sent us the authorization. If Chrysler dealerships cannot properly diagnose/repair/replace the safety recall problem/parts installed twice (last one last week) that failed again today, at no cost and without delay, dealer should send a vehicle to pickup the car (it cannot be driven more than a few feet before everything shuts down) and we should be permitted to proceed with a reimbursement option at a trusted repair shop. Apologize if it seems rash, but very upset of the potentially dangerous situation if it had failed on the highway at high speeds.

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.

Driving 40 mph when battery light illuminated and a burning smell coming from car, I immediately opened the door and began to veer off the road. All the lights illuminated on the dash, the radio shut off, gauges stopped working, power steering stopped, brakes were not functioning, wipers came on and car came to a complete stall and began to vibrate. All doors locked and windows were not functioning. The car was completely dead and I almost got trapped in it. Took it to the dealer and they said it was a bad alternator which ruined my battery. Was charged nearly $1,000. 00.

Was in a trip in san antonio, TX towards six flags their is hills well coming down one to stop at the light the car dint want to make a complete stop and the was a very ugly noise coming from the brakes and no it was not the anti-brakes because that sounds different. Took in to nearest dealer to take a look at it and the car stayed over night and was checked twice by a technician and they couldn't duplicate the problem. They did state that they could hear something but couldn't find out what it was. 3 1/2 weeks later I brought the vehicle to service in the dealer were I bought the car new and they tell me that it is the rotors that need to be rectified but are not sure if that is it or not. They also hear squeaking on and off at different points but dont know what to do.
