general problems of the 2013 Chrysler 300 - part 1

Seat control module. The adjustable pedals move forward on their own while driving.

Per the local dealer inspection the pdc unit has faulty wiring which caused the fuse to burn severely in turn things begin to randomly stop working no sound from radio, doors will not lock at times, back up camera goes in and out.

I own a 2013 Chrysler 300c luxury 5. 7l it ran fine as of April 5th 2021. On April 6th 2021 the car suddenly wouldn't start. Cranked forever and would eventually start. Had 0 oil pressure but just had an oil change a few hundred miles before. Codes were presented on the odb2 scanner tool. The car itself said something about a short or something. Tried everything I could to fix it and nothing worked. Eventually all the screens and gauges begin to seize out and the car dies. Won't even start. Battery was also checked and fine.

Hands free module quit working, common problem with Dodge/Chrysler, ac will not recirculate causes only outside air to be drawn into the cab, cause is malfunctioning/bad humidity sensor about the resr view mirror, driver heated seat quit working, left headlight quit working, bad hid ballast. The gas and brake pedal assembly will retract on it's own while driving. The transmission w5a580-nag1-722. 6 either shift extremely hard 3-4 4-5 or slips in between the gears causing the engine rpms to go way up and then either falls back into gear or causes a neutral and will not go back into gear until you either drop below 18 mph or completely stop and either put the car in park and back into drive or shut the engine off for about 10 seconds and start it back up. After the flare between gears it is stuck in 3rd gear or limp mode with a check engine light dtc read p0730 through p0735. Literally have to carry a diagnostic scan tool with me to clear the codes. Its extremely dangerous and always happens in the worst places like getting on the interstate or on busy city streets almost causes an accident because you have no choice but to pull over and stop no matter where you are or the conditions around you. . . These are all very common issues with this car, it would be nice if Chrysler would make it right. . .

I replace the battery cuz it seem that it wagong bad dint want to start the car and after running it for a few minutes whit a new battery it did the same the remote start was working then it just stop my reverse camara also stop working my radio shuts down when I turn the steering wheel and it drains on the battery fast.

The alternator ceased up on me while I was driving on 7/12/2019. This almost caused an accident! I was driving around 55mph and the steering and brakes completely locked up. I couldn't turn the wheel or stop my car. Eventually I slowed down and barely got the steering wheel to turn so I wasn't stuck right on the highway. My car was towed to a mechanic that replaced the alternator. I later received a recall notice in the mail for the alternator and have been trying to get reimbursed.

After first recall with alternate all electronic systems started to fail suspension was going bad.

The hands free module malfunctioned and no longer pairs with my phone. After looking into solutions online I found many forums where several people have had the same issue.

My trunk is constantly popping, it was staying shut as long as the car was locked. Now it's popping all the time, when I turn on my car, when my cars off but I'm pumping gas, while I'm driving. It's crazy 😜. I brought it to the dealership but they thought it was my key fob. That's not the issue. What could it be??? one day when it was super snowy out my car was parked and locked outside of my house and the alarm started going to off so I went out to see what was going on. My truck had popped. This has been happening for months.

Was at a red light and car started to shake then I pulled over off the road and shut it off and my car never started back up again.

Handsfree control module shorting out under steering wheel. Alot of consumers are having these same issues.

Driving in town apprx. 35 mph check battery notification appeared on dash for the first time within 5 minutes the lights dimmed all dash lights began to blink message on dash said power saving mode and car shut off about 4 minutes later.

I turned on the vehicle and after few minutes the car shows battery mode on the screen. Right after that the vehicle smells with a strong burn fume from the engine. Then the vehicle turned off and went dead no electrical power at all. Thanks god I was parked when all this happened. No one was able to jump the car with another battery to get it started.

Hand free phone doesn't work. I took the car to the dealer and was told that hands free module internally shorted and needs to be replaced. Have read a lot of other owners having same problem.

I drove my car in the morning. It seemed like it was going to stall when driving home. Parked the car. Latter got in my carto start it and it made a odd sound. I looked at the dash and check engine light. Lightning bolt. Anti lock wer lit. Ive not been able to start my car since. 3 months. 2013 Chrysler 300 touring. It started reading 2 codes p0850 now its reading 7 codes. Never got it to turn over. Also my battery is draining.

There is loud clicking coming from the dash board area. Temperature control failing. There is also problems with the suspension on the front end of the car. The cv joints are failing and the struts are failing. The rockerarms in the front suspension are also failing. The clicking happens stationary or while in motion and the suspension popping happens when the car is driving.

I was stop at the gas station awaiting in line and the safe battery mode light came on and the car haisited and several warnings light came on it blinked orange on the dash. I was given a jumpstart and it didn't start I jumpstarted the car again and it started. I start to drive my car and couldn't control the steering wheel it shaked very hard and my car was stalling the safe battery mode light abs brake light brake fauilare warning lights came on a few other lights can on the dash was flickering the car was jerking and making sounds and very hard to controll I stop the car and got it into park I could feel the extreme heat off the car. When trying to stop the car I only drove a few feet and turn right . I have contact Chrysler several times with only to be told just get you car repairs save receipts and we will refund the repairs and you submit your receipt.

Received letter about a recall a month or so ago and so far have not heard anything. Getting worried I do a lot of driving and want to make sure I am safe.

On 22 Mar 2017, my 2013 Chrysler 300 started smoking from under the hood. I pulled over to see what the problem was and notice the smoke was coming from my altinator. Getting in touch with my insurance to set up a tow to take it to a dealership. While I was on the phone the my altinator caught on fire, quickly putting it. Continuing with my conversation it started up again for a 2nd time. Finally once the tow truck should up, they took it to colorado springs Dodge, 7455 austin bluffs pkwy colorado springs, CO 80923 719-475-8550. I ask them if they had any recalls for this unusual problem. They told me no, I ended up paying it out of pocket, $936. 35 to replace the altinator and battery. I see today that your website has shown me their are problems with the altinator failing. If there's any information you can pass down to me to help me get my money back I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

Driving on the highway at appx 30-40 mph and car started smelling like smoke, started making a high pitched humming sound, the abs brake light, the traction control light and the check engine light all came on and the smoke got worse, scared it may have been a fire under my hood.

My car is now at the dealer and was there just last week for another electrical problem. I will continue to check the site since this is obviously a defect from the manufacturer. Please contat me with any info as this is very dangerous!.

We have had so many complaints with this car and the dealership always says it is our problem. Upon driving we will smell something burning and now the ac or heat do not work properly.
