general problems of the 2013 Chrysler 300

2013 Chrysler 300c rear video camera for driver stopped working. Unsafe backing up. Need help.

It says a recall on my car was fixed 2014 I purchased vehicle 2022, but just recently it has started just shutting off while driving it. Completely dying. Simular to the alternator recall p60.

On the gear shift lever of my vehicle, there are jagged, hard plastic pieces between the leather and the shift lever that continuously cuts my fingers while shifting gears. The cuts are similar to papercuts. One time, a piece of the hard plastic broke off and got stuck in my hand, which required tweezers to remove. Very painful.

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. . .

Wierd type vibration when turning the wheel when car is stationary. Fluid leaking from when car is parked oil or transmission fluid. Was a recall at some point on the plastic oil plugs.

Car was parked most of the day went to start the vehicle to go somewhere and it would not start all lights came on and wipers moved which were never turned on to begin with as well as the engine light which had never been on as long as I had the vehicle after about 10 minutes of this the vehicle finally started after taking the vehicle to the shop the guys says it seems like the alternator is stalling he told me about the recall and as I look it up by VIN mine does not appear to be on the list. The mechanic stated that this vehicle should be under recall t36.

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.

Nhtsa recall number: 17v-435. For the past eight months I have tried to have this service recall taken care of. I have brought my car to my local dealership multiple times and was told that the parts have not shipped yet. I have made multiple documented phone calls to the recall Chrysler customer care handling the recall for me and failed to get the replacement part. Chrysler has been delaying the recall parts so that the vehicle warranties run out. On 4/11/2018 at 1 pm Chrysler alternator started smoking. All the units in the cars were fried. Would not shut off I had no control of anything. I also have a video of what happen and getting little help from Chrysler.

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.

My Chrysler 300 lx stated have transmission problems and I went to a Chrysler after I had it look at, at a mechanic shop, because the check engine light came own. , all they did was hook up the car for a diagnostic test, the print out read something to do with power tran modual. They said take it to Chrysler, so I did. Chrysler said the computer locked up the codes, so they can not get a reading of the problem. I said can you do something about it, they said until the light comes back own, they can not do nothing. I said the car is unsafe, they said nothing. I call Chrysler customer service, they said nothing they can do. My car is unsafe to drive, the problem with the transmission is covered, and I need me car. I am own blood thinners and high blood pressure pills, I have to have my blood monitored. Can some body help me.

Driving on the highway at appx 30-40 mph and car started smelling like burned plastic and smoke, started making a high pitched humming sound, the traction control light and the engine light and the abs brake lights all came on as my car was slowing down, opened the hood and there was smoke coming from the engine, car would not turn back on, no electric worked, battery is destroyed, car VIN is not listed under the current recall even though I am finding the same complaint from others with my same car. Also, my car was just worked on there at the dealer last week for an electrical issue and the problem was not discovered at that time, dealer is not being very helpful, this is very dangerous to be in the car with my kids and my car starts smoking! - I have video of it happening from last night that will not upload here, please contact me! very dangerous!.

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. I checked all of the recalls and my car does not fall under any of them although I saw many of the same complaints here on the site. This is very dangerous, especially having children in the car. 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!.

Adjustable pedlas move up randomly when driving or park.

Took vehicle to dealer to repair ac issue. Was given vehicle and drive it less than a mile when the vehicle dash stated "transmission shut vehicle off and put in park" when I attempted to place it in park the gear shift would not come out of drive. The only way to stop the vehicle is to put on the emergency brake.

Alternator goes out and caused car to stall at high speed without notice.

Driving on freeway battery saver mode came on then after all the lights on my dash stated flashing then after my car stalled I have no control in my vehicle then almost crash into someones vechicle.

I can hear a very loud knocking noise in the dash behind my instrument panel. It starts each time that I turn on the heater, the ac and defroster. This loud knocking sounds continues even when my car is turned off. Also there's flaking noises in my engine/transmission- my car is under 35k miles.

With my child in the car, on a major interstate, I accelerated to avoid a suddenly swerving 18-wheeler. My car continued acceleration after I released the pedal. I depressed the brake pedal, but couldn't get it to stop. As soon as possible (and available, given road work and fast, heavy traffic), I pulled over to the inside shoulder and gained control by using full pressure on the brake as well as engaging the parking brake. The car continued revving high. Called conroe demontrond for help, as that is where I bought this car, and they connected me to a towing company, which was useless as car couldn't be switched off -- I had managed to put car into neutral, but engine wouldn't stop revving, and I wasn't able to put it into park or to stop the car. I had to make a decision between two dangerous situations: send my child onto the packed highway, or have her remain in the car with me, which I was growing alarmed might explode given the high revolution and accompanying noise. I sent her out with the car fob. After what seemed forever, the car shut down, as the fob was gone for long enough. It happened a second time, as I was returning from the trip I had to take during the first problem, but the car "snapped out of it" more easily. Dealership gave me a very hard time about this, and in the end said nothing was wrong with the car. They re-set the computer, and for a bit over a month, it seemed okay with a few hiccups, but eventually, the car has begun to "stick" on acceleration again, and occasionally now lags, or misses, before acceleration. I received note that there is a problem with this car from the manufacturer months ago. This might account for the car's problem, but it is doubtful as far as the sticking goes, since the problem listed by the notice is stalling. I do wonder if it might account for the newer problem, though. Yesterday, the sunroof exploded.

On 05/10/2015 during the afternoon I turned on my ac and it blew warm air. I don't use my ac very much due to increase fuel usage because I drive 76 miles twice a day 4 days a week, but on that day when I really needed it it wasn't working. I bought my 2013 Chrysler 300s new on 06/02/2013 and the one time I drove car to vegas it was working fine as a matter of fact it was blowing extremely cold air which was great. I tried calling the dealer where I bought it, but because its out of warranty they can't or wont help me with it.

In November 2014 I received a safety recall p60 / NHTSA 14v-634 indicating the alternator diodes have an issue, causing failure to engine, or possible fire. I have been unable to get the alternator repaired, or replaced. The dealer, and manufacture is telling me they do not have the parts, and I am afraid to drive my car. Please assist is getting this issue fixed.

I was backing down the driveway of my dad's house . . There was recycling bins to the left side of the driveway which I was gong to hit if not moved or if I did not re-position the car in the driveway. I stopped the car and decided not to get out of the car to move the recycling bins but to put it in drive to re-position the car in the driveway . . . . Stepped on the gas . . And bam. . . Bamm. . . In 3 seconds I went like a bat out of hell. . . Through the 2 closed garage doors and the concrete wall between the two closed doors and coming to a stop after crashing into their dining room exterior wall. It took two times pushing the starter button before the engine shut off. The air bag never went off. It all happened so fast. . . . I may have had my foot on both the gas and the brake at the same time (they are pretty close together) and the gas took over propelling the car forward through the garage. When applied at the same time which is programmed to take over???the gas or the brake? there seems to be several different quirky things that happened in that car with me on that scary day in March. Thanks for your help.

I was driving on freeway and sunroof exploded. There was no rocks or any adverse weather.

The Chrysler 300c was parked in our garage for about a week. Tried to start it and nothing happened. Electronic throttle control (etc) light flashed. All symptoms pointed to a low battery. Jump started 300 from our other car and drove to the dealer. By the time I got there the battery was charged from the generator. Dealer kept it for 5 days and couldn't find a problem. There were other anomalies on the road. Car would either not accelerate or engine would stall while driving. This became extremely dangerous on the interstate. Couple weeks passed and start problem repeated, but this time the battery was completely dead. One symptom I noticed was that the brake pedal, which you have to depress while activating the push button start was locked and wouldn't move. Repeated the above drill with the same results. This time, dealer had the car for 11 days and couldn't find problem. All along I'm paying lease and auto insurance fees for a car that's sitting at the dealer. Dealer said they updated some of the electronic controllers per some technical service bulletins, but that they weren't related to my "no start/dead battery" issues. Chrysler customer service said they knew of no complaints, recalls, etc. Related to the above. Have not experienced any problems recently. However, I've been starting the 300 more often and letting it run. I recently got a 2014 Dodge journey which ended up with a dead battery after being parked for 5 days. I filed a separate complaint on the journey. Have since bought a trickle charger. Can't believe these are coincidences. There is no question Chrysler has a basic design problem. All the electronics are draining the battery even when everything is shut "off". Hope they're not covering it up like Ford with their ignition switch. My next letter will be to sergio marchionne.

I in October of 2013 I purchased a Chrysler 300 new from central Chrysler in raynham MA. It has a 36000 mile powertrain warranty as well as a 15000 mile no hassle warranty. My transmission began to shift harshly (automatic transmission) in February of 2014, and I received service in April of 2014. I was told the transmission required a part that was not yet manufactured by Chrysler, but that I would have the part in late may or early June. Not only have I not received the part, I was told by Chrysler corporate that the part is not even in development. The dealer will do nothing except revalue the car at a significant loss to me financially and that is predatory and inappropriate. I have involved the attorney generals office to investigate this issue as well as the Chrysler corporation. The dealership refuses to revisit the transmission issue currently. I am driving and paying for a car that is "operating as designed" which is a design flaw with no fix offered, in direct violation of the warranty. I have brought the car back to 2 additional dealerships with no fixes or repairs possible as of yet. This is a badly designed car with extremely poor service from both corporate and dealership levels.

The windows would not roll back up it's been to the shop numerous times we had the same problem with our Dodge caravan I'm so over Chrysler cause we keep having same problems.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Chrysler 300 equipped with a webasto hollandia series 740 after market sun roof. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the sun roof suddenly shattered. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 36,200. The VIN was not available. Kmj.
