As I was driving my car felt like if it went on neutral. I almost crashed. Stopped. Then it would not come off of park. I kept putting it on drive and it automatically kept going into park mode. The car was still running though. And turns on. It still wont drive. Turns on but doesn't go onto drive mode.
My backup camera works when it wants to mostly not at all. It just flickers when I put the car in reverse. I really need it because of the blind spots. Also since the fuel issue was recalled and fixed my car smells like it's not burning the gas properly. In other words I can smell fumes.

On or about February 17, 2022, the referenced 300c was taken to elk grove Chrysler due to a malfunction with the electronic shift. The car jumped into park while in motion which was a safety risk to others as well as myself. After consulting with service team, I was informed that the car had to undergo a diagnostic. A day later I was informed that there was a fault with the electronic shift which required repaired; however, parts were not in stock at this location. I was informed parts had to be ordered and would take approximately 2-3 weeks due to logistical issues. On Monday, February 28, 2022, technician reported that a part was received for the upper mechanism; however, it was determined that the lower mechanism needed repair. With this being said, these are the concerns I would like to address due to disagreement with the process. 1. This electronic shift was previously repaired in may 2014, due to recall. This issue could have resulted in a major safety issue. 2. Why is a consumer paying for a "repair to a repair?" 3. As a consumer with a low mileage vehicle under 59,000, why must I be responsible to pay Chrysler for a repair that is a "safety issue" and a factory recall issue. Obviously, this is a manufacture concern created by Chrysler. This was due to no fault of the consumer. In closing, as a disabled widowed senior citizen having the car jump into parking during my travels affected my anxiety; causing a panic attack. This repair issue is affecting my health and livelihood. I have been without a vehicle and a means to take care of quality of life tasks. Thank you for your time and attention to my concern.
I have been having trouble with my cruise control lately. If I start my car remotely and then drive my cruise control won't turn on unless I hold down all 4 buttons on my steering wheel. When this happens I also end up having difficulties disengaging it and there will be a 1-2 mph difference from what the cruise speed is set as to what speed the vehicle is actually traveling. I noticed there was a safety recall in regards to this issue that was issued on 05/17/2018 but my VIN didn't register for that recall so I'm wondering if my car was missed or if there are more vehicles like mine having this same issue that wasn't taken care of in the last recall issued.

Driver has been experiencing problems with backup camera since the car was purchased in 2016. Originally, the camera would just go in and out. A black screen would show up on the monitor once the car was put into reverse. This was mentioned to the dealership multiple times, but the camera would never act up when I was at the dealership. The driver was also told that an update would eventually solve the problem, which it did not. When the car is put into reverse now, the picture on the monitor from the back up camera is actually flipped on the monitor. So what is actually on the right side of the car, shows up on the left side. Recently when getting recalls for the vehicle taken care of, the driver found out that the back up camera was previously repaired in 2015. This was prior to the car being purchased in 2016. These problems were brought up to the dealership, telegraph Chrysler Jeep Dodge in taylor, mi. The back up camera was brought up to the dealership when the car was under extended warranty, now it is possible that the warranty has expired. This is a safety concern as the perception in the back up camera could deceive the driver.
While driving the vehicle at night the headlights will flash off and on, the dash board lights go off and on, the windshield wipers come on and the radio will go off. In the day time while driving the same things happen except the headlights going off and on. This happens on the street and the highway while in motion. This has happened several times and after a while it stops.
While driving home one afternoon my factory beats sound system started making a static noise while listening to music via bluetooth. It cleared up and two days later the complete audio system stopped working. I then restarted the system and still no sound from radio bluetooth or gps. I then noticed a melted fuse that actually started melting the plastic in the fuse box located in the trunk near the battery.

Car was in motion when the gear shifted from drive to stop causing the car to come to an abrupt stop. The wiper blades came on by themselves, the gear shift indicators began blinking off and on, the transmission monitor began stating that do not turn the car off, then began flashing: proceed to destination , turn car off to turn to start car, check engine light began flashing and the power steering indicator began flashing on . After about twenty minutes I was able to get the shift indicator to shift into gear so that I could get the car out of the street.
45000 miles the dashboard cluster all of dash goes total out no speed no tachometer, no gas, all temp gauges and traction control go out. The radio and the rest of the console go black as well. Car will not turn on also you can not use alarm system to enter vehicle. Dome light does come on. Tried to jump start doesnt effect car as its not the battery its some other computer issue. As tow truck hauled car the car came back to life from the jolt of road bumps. Dealership states can't find anything wrong with car. Viewed several cars with similar symptoms. I have video of so far 2 occurrences . This has happened while driving and also while parked so its random.
I purchased this Chrysler 300 in 2014 and paid cash 25,000 and only have 17,000 because I fear for my life to drive it. On several occasion my vehicle has stopped while in motion without warning and the gear slips from drive to park. While exiting my vehicle after I have parked my car slips into drive causing me to stumble. On two separate occasions I had to call a tow truck to aid me because my vehicle would stop with warning. Once while driving on a highway my car stopped while traveling at a high rate of speed and went into park on its own, I notified the towing company and it had to be towed to a dealership. While at a dealership I was notified of a defect and they stated they would fix it. On a second occasion while attempting to park in my driveway the car continued to put itself in park and while trying to reverse my car went into park. After several attempts I again contacted a towing company where they towed me to another dealership where they again attempted to fix the transmission. Again after 2 years I am still fearful to drive my vehicle. I have made attempts to contact the dealership to no avail. My vehicle continues to move from drive to park and vise versa. Please help I have no other means of transportation, my husband has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer and I need this vehicle in order to work and take him to his doctor's appointment. At this rate we will both need doctors if I'm not dead first. This is my final attempt to get assistance with vehicle maintenance and repairs. Although the dealership has made attempts to remedy this situation, I continue to have problems with the transmission. I am completely terrified to drive my vehicle each time I drive.
I purchased my 2014 Chrysler 300c brand new from a Chrysler Dodge and Jeep certified dealership. Since the first day I purchased the vehicle I have been having problems. First started with the rear window shade malfunctioning while driving and front driver seat would not move forward or reverse the same day I bought the car, dealer said they would fix. Took more than two trips to dealer to get the problem resolved. Next at around 6000 miles I had cylinders misfire while driving, took me more than 3 trips to different dealers to get problem resolved. They did not tell me what caused the problem, just fixed it. About a month later I had alot of smoke and burnt smell coming from my engin while driving, dealer said a gasket was missing. I had air coming through driver front and rear doors. Took the car to dealer to get fixed, supposibly they fixed the problem but to this date I'm having the same problem with air coming through doors as I'm driving, now the worse problems are happening. On mid 2016 the rack and pinion gave out. On September of 2016 all my electrical system started to go haywire, windshield wipers on and off by themselves, gauges going up and down, transmission shifting by itself, lights on and off etc, this happend while driving on city streets, we pulled over turned off the car, turned it back on steering wheel was very hard to turn. Took to dealer. They said it was power steering pump. So they replaced. About a month later my wife was driving and the car accelerated to hi rate of speed by itself. After she gained control she drove home. Now 2 days ago we had the same electrical haywire malfunction, this time as all other electrical things that happened as last time the car accelerated by itself, we pulled over to gas station, tried to turn on and car was dead, had check engine light and etc light on. This car has become very dangerous for my family.
Back left indicator blinks about four times then acts as if lamp is blown. Turn car off and start later indicator works but then after 4 blinks is out again. Replaced lamp. System still has electrical malfunction. Seat belts shoulder harness in all back seats inertia locks do not operate in emergency stops. My children flew forward with their car seats when a car ran a stop sign and I locked the breaks to avoid a collision.

The mil came on as I turned on my car one day after work. I had flipped through the vehicle info and noticed that the oil pressure was at 99. I went to get the code read and found out that it was the oil pressure sending unit that is malfunctioned. I have read forum after forum regarding Chrysler 300 vehicles ranging from years 2011-2014 and have found that this is a common problem. Will the dealership replace the unit for free?.
On one occasion my vehicle's screen turned white and restarted without warning. Another occasion while trying to use the heat, the vehicle continued to blow out cold air after turning the heat to high. The problem did not correct itself until the vehicle was turned off and turned back on a shot time later. The same occurrence happened with the a/c not working until the vehicle was turned off and then restarted a short time later.
