Head light assembly quit working, I. E no headlight in decemeber 2024. I had the unit replaced, paid $1448. 40 for part, 299. 92 for labor to replace the complete headlight assembly. It is now June 2025, and it has failed again. It is unsafe to drive when the headlights don't work, and stelantis and the dealer seem unable to fix the problem, and I do not feel that I should have to pay another cent on a safety feature as essential as a headlight assembly that doesn't work!.

Passenger headlight assembly stopped working. This is a dealer only part and will cost me over $2000 to. Fix when they get one in stock! this could be months, I have to drive with one headlight because one is dead and Chrysler has no parts.

It is obvious that this 2019 Chrysler 300 has the defects that a recall was issued by the nhsta about. My electrical systems have malfunctioned multiple times causing the vehicle to lock up and die in traffic. The power steering would go out. The car wouldn’t want to shift. Anything and everything that could read information out wrong was going off. The check engine light. The brake system. Transmission. Etc. Just everything was lit up on the dash. The car would lock and unlock on its own. The windshield wipers would come on and turn off by themselves. The transmission is electric too, and it would want to lock up when you tried to shift it to park. This car has truly been a nightmare for me. I was the second owner. It was sold to me by crain Ford of little rock. I was never told anything about any recall.

The vehicle components started failing first with lighting and electrical malfunctions. Due to the concerns I was on the way to the mechanic on 9/16/23 when the air bags deployed on the passengers side without any impact. The vehicle is at Chrysler dealer on central avenue albany, NY and available for inspection. I had just dropped off my grandchildren this could have severely had a horrible impact had they been in car. Not to mention it scared me, I was not sure what was happening. I was scared to get back in the car. I was driving on interstate this is scary for anyone driving with no visibility. Chrysler currently has the vehicle since 9/19/23. I have reached out to dealer and Chrysler corporate office with no result. They always say they will get back to me. Unless I reach out they do not respond. Claim # 87602057 with Chrysler corporation. They vehicle has been inspected by manufacturer james brozovich on 10/26/23 works with bosch automotive service solutions work #(734)979-5827 cell # (586)215-8547. The radio would blink in and out and if radio worked headlights did not work. If headlights worked radio and dashboard light did not work. Air bag light and engine light came on one time when on the way to the shop. Vehicle was on the way to shop due to electrical concerns.

The vehicle's lcd screen has become delaminated which causes the control of the radio, air conditioning, navigation, and other features controlled by the "radio" portion of the car to become dysfunctional. The car will randomly beep, change air temperatures, start navigation, cause the loss of hands-free communication. This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to ac/heat, navigation or radio (volume, etc. ). This appears from Chrysler forums to be an issue among a large group of Chrysler 300 year model 2018 owners.

I am encouraging them to file a concern with your group and to ask for a recall of the car for this reason.
Headlight keeps failing. New bulb and worked for a bit then out again. Maybe fuse or wiring issue? expensive to keep buying bulbs.

Lights in dash blink back and forth between bright and dim. When this happens headlights turn off. This happens frequently. Did not realize until recently that headlights were also affected.
My vehicle has experienced ecm/ throttle body issues, lights flickering hard to drive vehicle at night because the lights aren't working properly. Transmission and motor problems. Why isn't the electrical issues on recall? I've been on several forums with hundreds of electrical issue complaints. This is not fair.

Noticed water damage on rear driver side pillar had mechanic look found water comming in from sunroof track. The drain hose was still attached and unclogged water began to leak behind the rear grab handle and light. This seems to be a defect by manufacturer and have seen alot of the same complaints. I was worried the water could cause a short maybe fir behind headliner.
Deer strike 68 mph front drivers side bumper ,hood back to tire almost to windshield, was on 4 lane road at 530 pm cst.
I was in a "at fault" accident in sept 2020 in my new car because the instrument panel failed to stay on started glitching while on the freeway hit tire in the road. Car insurance went up because of the points against my record. The Chrysler corp has a recall on the same make and model but not my VIN number. My car is experiencing the same problems as the recall. I need the insurance company to remove the points and sue Chrysler for this accident that was very dangerous. I have videos of the car still glitching while im driving for a few seconds to a few minutes at a time. Driving at night with the instrument panel glitching is very dangerous and I need help.
Within the first year I had the vehicle each of the head lights failed. Still under warranty the dealer determined that the fuses were bad and charged me $90 each time to replace the fuses. I now have an issue with the passenger side head light. Initially it was an interment off-on condition. Now it is continuously off. I have not had this one fixed yet. But I suspect that the fuse block is defective and is not securing the fuse (ie a loose connection), which would be evident. By signs of arcing between the fuse tang and the fuse block contacts. Minor arcing between the two contacts would diminish current flow between the contacts until the light would no longrer come on.
The light on the back passenger side leaks when it rains. It leaks most when the car is sitting still.

The front lights projection is extremely narrow. When turning left or right onto a dark drive or roadway it is impossible to see until the vehicle gets mostly through the turn. Last week I nearly hit a pedestrian because I could not see her. I visited you web site to check on a drive train recall and notice another driver has the same lighting problem. The id # is 11064345.
Driver side triangle blind spot detector stays on. When it stays on it's not doing what it's supposed to do.

First, the top of my dashboard came unglued. Second, front suspension has a rattling noise when driving of a bumpy road. Finally, my front head tend to swing back and forth instead of raising up smoothly when turning on my car. Hopefully I don't get any more problems with my 300 being that I just got the car in December.
I have had the car to the dealer twice for this same issue and it's back again. They said it was something that was not done correctly when they can was made. Say it a problem with the wiring harness, the repaired it last time and I fee it should have been replaced and not just make an attempt to repair. I purchased the can brand new and expected them to stay by their product and replace any problem parts that are found. Now I have to take off time from work again to have this issue addressed. The car can be parked and the day time running light with come on and go off at will. The front parking sensor will stop working out of the blue because I get an error message on the dash. Then it will just start working again. Same with the front right fog-light does the same thing come on and goes out at will. . .
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.
Car was stalling and had electrical issues. I paid to get it fixed but never knew there was a recall for my vehicles alternator. The vehicle battery dies fairly quickly from time to time still and every know and then I have to call aaa to jump my car and they say my battery is good. Chrysler's number for this recall is t36. I never received a noticed.
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.
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.

When driving or not driving sun roof will not go close I have to push button a few times or wait a few minutes, check engine light will come on when starting car or driving down the road, when braking popping sound comes from left side of car and a little sliding, paint peeling off back bumper. These problems have been happening for 2 years now. Car at repair shop now for brakes.
While driving about 30mpr, car suddenly loss all inside lights, including indicator lights. Within one minutes later, power dropped and car was barely driving. Within the two blocks I had to drive to get home, power continued to drop. No way to control the car; unable to turn off . Ignition or put car in park it suddenly began to smoke profusely. Looked like all fluids leaked and car became hot. Then all dash lights came on flashing violently. Car smoked for about 20 minutes or more before it became quiet. Gears would not engage, so it remained in drive the whole time. I kept my foot on brake due to uncertain about what the car would do. It was completely dead but continued to smoke more than 30 more minutes. Was unable to control anything. Could not even operate trunk. I am totally afraid of this car. Towed to dealer. Alternator cost >$1100. Mileage is just over 68000. P60 recall was not assigned to my car due to amp value.
Lighting is to dim, cannot see the road very well at night and there is no side vision at all due to the dimness of the lights. If an animal were to jump in front of the vehicle, it would not bee seen until it was directly in front of the car. If someone is walking on the side of the road getting ready to cross the street and the car is getting ready to turn onto that street, the pedestrian would not be seen at all!.
Airbag warning light keeps coming on and staying on for long lengths of time. Recall number no7 was issued for this very thing but Chrysler refuses to repair ours as it is 2 months short of manaufactor date. The recall began in April of 2013 and I contend the same parts that initiated this recall are the same parts used in our vehicle. They told me when enough complaints come in they may extend the dates of manufactor for the recall,.
The indicator lights on the dash come on while driving, witch causes the head lights to go out. I think this is a very dangers thing to happen. Chrysler corporation should recall this model car and take care of the problem before I have an accident.
I notice my lights blinking in the middle of the day when I was behind a big truck. Since then it appears to happen almost everytime I start the car and tends to go away after 30 minutes of running. At night it is very dangerous. The lights will blink and sometimes go completely off. . When I turn them off they come back on. . Then go out again I turn the switch and they come back on. . Sometimes the dash lights also go completely out and other times they go from dim to bright and back to dim.
