Over the last month I noticed that my brakes would feel funny sometimes, like they were going to just grab suddenly vs stopping slowly. Then yesterday, 2/27/24, I received a warning that my esc and abs systems needed service and that I no longer had awd capability. The message would stay on for several minutes, then shut off for several minutes, then come back on again.

The air bag light comes on n off with a passenger in the seat and also the shifter sometimes doesn’t shift into gear I have to unplug battery for 10 minutes to reset system that comes to the electrical situation.

Reverse gear went out after vehicle slipped once, acted as if in neutral when in reverse and pressing gas pedal down but would not move. Had local towing and mechanic shop in gower missouri check transmission fluid level in which was found to be a quart low on transmission fluid. Car had been extremely well maintained and all recommended maintenance services completed by previous owners. Able to drive car in all other gears, codes p0007 code appear with no check engine light or any type of warning or indication that a problem was present within my 2005 Chrysler 300 3. 5l v6 rwd car with the 42rle transmission my vehicle also has issues occur suddenly regarding front end suspension has death shake and very loud clinking popping banging noises while driving at all speeds. Steering wheel has a weird squeek/creeking noise when turning the wheel at times and feels like steering is loose. Tie rod end and sway link bar on front passenger right side of vehicle is bent opposite direction it is supposed to and car also has higher rpm than normal and shifting at higher rpms. Went into limp mode twice which I reset myself due to having an emergency where I had to drive it. With the suspension and steering issues it causes a safety risk due to sway link and tie rod end breaking causing vehicle to crash and wheel to detach from vehicle. Transmission gear loss due to transmission fluid leaking and gear linkage issues causes safety risk due to the event of reversing to move out of the way and to avoid potential harm to passengers (my 5 young children) within the vehicle in the event the vehicle can't move from the place parked. The vehicle is available to be inspection and has been checked out by 3 different mechanic shops located in gower, saint joseph, and savannah missouri all in which stateed verbally that low fluid due to leak somewhere from transmission and poor linkage components within gear solenoid and possible pcm and mil issues to be at fault of vehicle mufacture.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that the suspension and alignment were off on the front and rear wheels. The failure caused the contact to replace the tires twice within a year due to excessive treadwear. The contact stated that the tires were cambered out more to the right instead of straight and flushed with the vehicle. The dealer marty cancila Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (2175 n highway 67, florissant, mo 63033, (636) 400-0097) recommended an alignment and a new set of tires.

I have three Chrysler, Dodge cars and all three of them are having the same problem. Catalytic converter is messing up on three of them at the same time. One of them is a 2011 Chrysler 300 with only 80,000 miles, 2010 Dodge nitro truck with over 100,000 miles and a 2012 Dodge avenger over 100,000 miles. I feel that Dodge Chrysler Jeep should have this as one of the recalls. The 2010 Dodge nitro truck my daughter was driving just cut off on her on the freeway when she stopped in traffic. And the 2012 Dodge avenger is sitting up in my drive way not being driven because of its so expensive to get them repaired. My 2011 Chrysler 300 and 2010 Dodge nitro truck is going in the shop to get the repairs done, but I feel Dodge, Chrysler Jeep should be eating up the cost for these repairs. The Dodge truck stopped on her oct 15th on the freeway, during traffic hours.

The issues I'm having with 2017 Chrysler 300 is every time I change into gearshift especially the reverse gear the shaft or the axle are not working properly. When I checked if there has been any powertrain recalls I found several of them, but when I Chrysler hq they told me there's no recall but I'm having these problems with the car still.

After purchasing the vehicle in Dec. 2018, I was not getting a smooth ride. I returned it to the dealer for scheduled oil changes( 5,000) and 50,000; 60,000 service intervals. After a rough snowy winter, I purchased 4 new tires, front end alignment, and still wasn't getting smooth ride. Dealer determined I needed new front struts, ( paid over $1,100 for the struts)and another alignment. I'm still not getting a smooth ride whereas I feel every bump I come across while driving on city streets and mildly on the highway.

I have had to replace my front (struts/shocks) and back (shocks) suspension twice and no one can seem to find out why it keeps going out. The first time was at about approx. 150,000 miles & then at est. 215,000 they had to be replaced again under the first warranty within a 6 month span.

1. While driving at normal speeds my car seems to struggle shifting into gear. It also makes clunking sounds going up hill. Today I accelerated to get onto the highway and the vehicle made a loud noise for a few seconds and finally got up to speed. 2. My vehicle also has a factory rust proofing and the quarter panels are showing large spots of rust on the front and rear of the vehicle.

Takata recall I was driving on the highway doing 40 mph and had to come to brief stop and the car started shaking violently. I almost got into a major accident during traffic. Now everytime I drive the car and try to brake now it shakes and is very unsafe. I then looked under the car and saw that the entire front subframe and engine cradle was completely rusted out to the point that it might break at any moment. I no longer can drive my car safely and I need my vehicle to get to and from work, wife's work and my sons school. I had the car looked at by a mechanic and they said it's going to be very expensive and needs done immediately. They also said that the Chrysler pacifica 2006 had the same exact problem and that they had to be recalled. My car only has 50000 miles on it and was garage kept. So I feel like this should not be a problem with my car. It's so dangerous and should be known about. I will have to get it fixed this week and it will cost me a fortune. Thank you!.

I was on the highway and I had to come to a complete stop and the wheels and the whole front end started shaking and I almost lost control of the car. I looked underneath the car and noticed on the drivers side that the whole subrame and motor cradle was completely rusted. Now my car drives at mph over 40 that the car shakes and when I need to brake suddenly that it shakes hard and is hard to control. I took it to an auto body shop and they are going to find the parts and replace them. Also the mechanic noticed that the linkage on subrame on the passenger side is broken and hanging lower.

I was driving my lights started flickering inside and out. I pulled over turned car off then back on and it was completely dead. Had it jump started and then push the gas and car wouldnt move. The it jumped into gear real hard and has been stuck in 2nd gear ever since.

Drivers side tire suspension collapsed while backing up, had car towed to dealer across street for evaluation.

A clunking noise when going over bumps in road or backing out in motion city street highway or turning.

Severe rusting and rotting of cradle and suspension. Mechanic would not allow car to pass inspection.

The transmission went out. It was fine then then lights started flickering inside and out and then when I turned the car off and tried to turn it back on it was completely dead. No lights or power at all. Had to get a jump start. Then when I tried to go it was revving up but wouldnt move and then all of a sudden jumped into gear real hard. It had significant loss of power and would get up and go. It's real slow from the start and it dangerous driving it because it will just rev up and not move then jump into gear very hard. It has almost thrown my car into the back of other cars because it jumps so bad I to gear all of a sudden. Then when you try to get out of the way of another car coming g it sometimes barely moves and it very dangerous. It has been stuck in 2nd gear ever since. It had a lot of loss of power. I had the transmission replace 2 times and both including the original are all stuck in 2nd gear. Also when I turn the car it makes a loud popping cracking sound by the wheels. Like it's going to break. Also going over speed bumps it's really loud and squeaky.

I been owning this 2005 Chrysler 300 limited for about 4 years now, and the lights flickers all the time. . Dealership charge 95. 00 for that it should be free because everyone that has a car like mine had the same problem the front suspension I had changed 3 times completely and it's not the parts it's the quality of the product, I am very disappointed I love the body style of the Chrysler 300 including the new one I brought a 2018 Dodge challenger this year because I was so disappointed with Chrysler hopefully someone looks at the vehicle problems and actually have a complete recall on the vehicle.

My 2014 Chrysler 300 has loud clunking, thudding noise when travelling over rough roads or going over a small bump. The noise sounds as though something is about to fall off. I have taken the vehicle into the dealership to be assessed and it was determined that I would have to replace the shocks, struts, tie rods and brushels to alleviate the problem. I was given a estimation of $3000. 00 dollars to correct the problem. It was during this time that it was discovered that muffler exhaust pipe had rusted and come apart thus calling the car to sound as loud as an 18 wheeler. I was informed by the mechanic that this was a common problem with this car and the Dodge charger . The repair cost on this was estimated to be 800. 00 - 1100. 00 dollars alone. Pleas investigate these complaints because Chrysler needs to be held accountable for these actions. During the course of my own investigation I have discovered that some of these problems go back as far back as the 2005 model Chrysler 300.

Vibration on the front suspension causing car to pull to one side damaging tires frequently in front. Heavy vibrations driving over ever bump or dip on streets or highways. Hard to steer.

Taken car to three different mechanics and they can not find source of problem, even with the mechanic experiencing the serious shaking while braking on mountainous highways. Inspected brakes, turned rotors, replaced suspension components and shaking still occurs. Some problem on these models because my brother in law had same experience with his 300c. Now car drives fine in town and on freeway at speed. 120k on car now.

Y'all had a recall on the gas tank ever since I had a gas tank replaced I continue to smell gas fumes coming from the fuel line has a leak in it and I'm trying to find out do y'all have a recall on it at all and I have a vibration coming in from my brake system and I can't seem to find out what is coming from but it says possibility that I have an issue with the break line.

Is turned on the light of the bag of air and is shut down the system of the air conditioning.

Loud clunking noise when applying brakes to come to a stop and when going over bumps in road/railroad tracks. It has been going on for months. I put todays date as the incident date because it happens daily.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that when the vehicle was in the park position, the gear shift failed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the gear shift coil spring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacture was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000. Jw.

I was driving on a city street, going 25 mph when I heard a knocking sound, I thought it was something I had hit but, it wasn't. I kept driving for about 5 blocks when it occurred again. I pulled into a service station and the mechanic told me that it sounded like it was my tie rods. I contacted a mechanic and he told me that its was the tie rods. I have never had a problem in all the years I have had my car, but this is a first. Not sure if this is under a recall or if anyone else is experiencing this, but it can be frightening.

1. The power steering on the car want let the steering wheeling turn some time it happen mostly in the morning time. 2. The front suspension keep waring out tires very quilty I had the front end line more than one but that don"t help 3. The brakes want hold some time when I go to stop real fast I have to pump them more than onece the brake have been change I need to know if thare someing wrong whis parts. Also when I first bought the car the brakes gave out and the Chrysler head break staff group came to look at it.

Also the door handles are very poor they stated just bracken off. I have spent so much money replacing parts to a car that cost so much money. I have a family I am also a foster mother and I needed something with lots of room but I had no idea that the Chrysler 300 was built with cheap materials.
