6 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2017

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.

7 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 10/12/2015

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that upon coming to a complete stop with the brake pedal applied, the vehicle surged forward several times with no warning. The contact had to apply force to the brake pedal and in some instances both feet were applied to the brake pedal to prevent the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer more than once and they were not able to replicate and diagnose the failure. The vehicle was parked at the contacts residence due to the fact that the failure may recur with no warning. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
