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.
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.
At 7:30 pm on the fdr drive approaching exit 17 at about 45 mph. My Chrysler 300 went completely dead while driving with my children in the car. No warning the car just came to abrupt stop sliding for about 10 feet before fully stopping. The engine went dead the light went off I couldn't steer nothing on the car works, never seen anything like that in my life. Thank god it was still bright out so I can and other driver was able to see me to avoid hitting the car otherwise we could of been dead or a very nasty accident. The nypd came ask what happen they said it's the alternator I used a jumper I had in the back to jump it it started I exit the highway it stop dead again no warning on 125 st. The officers activated the shift lock and help me push it to the side of the road. Where I paid $217 to have it towed to brooklyn. Called star Chrysler Sunday explaining what happen they said their service dept closed Sunday. Called back 7 am Monday, they won't even come tow or send a tow truck. Miss terry telling me it's my responsibility to have the car towed to them. I paid another $190 to tow the car from brooklyn to queens village NY. Got there they insist I leave the car and go home don't even want to say why the car almost killed me and my kids. Tuesday 7 am I called for an update miss terry said we didn't get to look at it yesterday we'll try to get it in today, is she kidding me. That so irresponsibly.
I have a 2013 Chrysler 300s. While driving at a speed around 45 mph in city driving, car stalled in the middle of an intersection while turning left at front of oncoming traffic. Seconds later the car shut off completely leaving me with no or little control over steering. The radio turned off, lights in car started flashing on and off, screens on the dash turned white, and all error lights on dash turned on. Burning electrical/rubber smell filled the car. All issues identical to the NHTSA campaign number: 14v634000. I checked my VIN to see if my car would be covered but it was not included in the recall. Upon further research there has been numerous complaints on exact models of my car that were also not covered. I am very thankful my car was able to get out of the way of oncoming traffic before another vehicle hit us because my kids or myself probably would have been seriously injured or even worst, killed. Once car came to a complete stop, I tried restarting the vehicle. The car would try to start but the engine would not even be able to turn over. All lights and switches inside the car were not working properly. Lights turning on and off, heater was blowing when we had it set to ac, pushing on the break would turn off all lights in the car, etc. I hope with all the multiple complaint, and potential to cause serious injury, they will consider recalling the additional models of alternators they are clearly having the same defects.

High and low beams suck,.
Just purchased used Chrysler 300 in clermont FL. From Chrysler dealer. Drove the car home to TN. Our home is rural area in subdivision on lake and most roads in this area are rural hwys. And streets. The day after getting home my wife and I went to dinner at restaurant approx. 25 miles away. By time we started home it was dark and immediately, as soon as I turned onto unlit state road, visibility on low beams was almost non exsistent going downhill and in dips. The low beams illuminate only 10-20 ft. In front of the car with almost no side illumination in dips and downhills. Other drivers with same complaint call it a shutter or tunnel effect and I agree. Side roads and street turns are very difficult as you can not see either readily. Since then my wife drove the car and had to come home in dark and said see nearly wrecked because of the problem and refuses to drive it at night. This is very serious and extremely dangeruse defect in design and must be addressed before (if it not already) serious accidents occur, reading Chrysler forums shows this is not knew problem with many compalints contributed to this situation.
The lighting is so poor on rural roads that you must drive with the brights on. The low beams only work for the first 15 feet or so and then when going down a slight decline the far distance or "night horizon" just disappears like a curtain dropped down from the top of the windshield. You literally lose sight of the road. Same situation when turning. Its really scary. I spoke with the service manager and he said he drove one home and almost ran off the road. He agrees with my problem. I'm told there is no fix. If this is not addressed I guarantee there will be accidents with this car. I'm told if there are enough complaints something will be done by your organization. Help--I don't want to die for something like this.
