1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2024

Unknown, but based on what I've read and seen others describe happen to them I would say it's somehow connected to the park assist. But my battery loses voltage while driving, the car will start blowing hot or cold air which ever it prefers at the time without any heating or cooling system being turned on, the dash goes crazy the rpms, speedometer and everything else will drop to zero the transmission will start jerking and the service park assist warning will flash on and off repeatedly very fast then the car died while driving on the highway and refused to start even with a jump start. Replaced the battery twice in 2 weeks and the alternator as well and the car continues to do this randomly. No codes show up but the abs light, esp bas lights are on, the brake light will come on every now and then without the brake being pressed and the car seriously just seems to have a mind of it's own.

Came out of the store to start the car. It wouldn't start. Engine made a coins shaking in can noise. Had towed to a service center, they asked if it had overheated, I said no because it hadn't shown any signs it had. They said it got so hot things melted and valve seats and pistons were ruined. I've read about Dodge Jeep and Chrysler hemi 5. 7s and valve seats and many people had this exact same problem with no sure reason as to why. I believe there is some defect in the engine itself causing this and extended warranty's won't cover claiming because valve seats aren't an internally lubricated part or some bs reason. Needs immediately looked into I'm about to lose my car over it!.

While driving my car just stalled twice once at a red light and took a while to restart and then when making a left turn on the road it just stalled and again it took a couple of times to restart during irma I went outside to move my Jeep wrangler to a safe spot and the car would not start. After the hurricane aaa was allowed to come and tow the car to the dealership because it was still under warranty for the Jeep and they informed me that it was the tipm module so I looked this up and realized there is a problem with the tipm and I asked the dealership if there is recall because it happened twice on the Chrysler 300 and they said no so hopefully it will be recalled soon so I can take it to get it fixed my mother who is 91 can not get in my Jeep and uses a walker and now im afraid if I go further out of town to the doctors that car may shutdown on i75 and and cause a real big accident and I'm handicapped and on a fixed income and don't have the money to replace the tipm. This is 2 cars different years and the same thing plz recall the tipm for the models of cars. I will be also reporting my Jeep but it just happened to be under warranty.

5 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2016

The shift interlock lever had the return lever spring hook break off. This left the shifter locked in park. Luckily this happened in our driveway at home. I was able to release the shifter however the car is showing the abs light and traction control lights lit on the instrument panel. Also the seat will not fully adjust and the cruise control no longer works. There is currently a recall (k39) on this item for this year and model car, however I was informed by my dealer that my car does not fall within the build date to qualify for the recall. I have the right year and model and the same problem but my vehicle doesn't qualify. I feel that this recall should be expanded to cover all Chrysler vehicles with this problem.

8 Equipment problem

Drove my car to work in the morning with no problems. After work I started the car and could not shift the gear out of park. I tried several times, turning the car off and on etc. But it would not move. Called the repair shop. They came and removed the shifter assembly to get it to the shop and said they had to replace the entire shift assembly because a small plastic piece was broken inside and they couldn't just replace the piece, it had to be the entire assembly for the cost of $300. 00. No warnings or other issues. After looking the problem up on the internet, seems to be a very common problem with this car make and model. I have also had trouble with this car several times just shutting down or almost shutting off (jerks like you are hit and seems like it is shutting down but then returns to normal) while sitting at a light or a stop sign. Usually it will start back up quickly but it is very dangerous in traffic and I have almost been rear ended 2 times because of it. I took it to the dealership 2 different times complaining about this issue, but they said they couldn't find anything wrong and that the computer system didn't show any problems.

9 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/30/2014

Car was not able to be shifted in gear. I was in a parked status and could not pull the vehicle out of the park position. Aaa was called and they could not tow me because the vehicle could not be towed because they could not get it on the flatbed. Aaa dispatched another truck with a dolly and an ase certified technician who was able to pull the gear lever while pressing down on the brakes to release a plastic pin on the linkage cable that was keeping the leaver from moving.

Unable to get car out of park. Drove car on 5-30, returned home parked car in garage. On 5-31-14, went to leave and cannot get car out of park. Have read many complaints on this same situation. Most people are not getting results. I am calling the dealership on Monday, car will have to be towed. I have read about a k39 notification, but no recall that I can find. If this is a common complaint, why is there not a recall to fix. Luckily I do have a 2nd vehicle to drive but most people only have one. This is an expensive car and this should not be happening. I am not happy with Chrysler.

Check tpm system shows on my dash display every 10 minutes after I start my vehicle. This started occurring after I had my tires rotated. I took it back to the dealership and the tried to do a battery disconnect after multiple calls . They could read all of the pressures by using the little wand on each tire. After multiple attempts of of trying to make them fix what they broke, they said that they do not know what the problem is and the wheel rotation must have triggered something. They started asking stupid questions that they said they got from consulting Chrysler like "are you going by a tower that could be distracting your signal?" I have been driving this vehicle for 7 years and all of a sudden, I am getting a signal to distract my system. Not! they kicked me to the curb and terminated my repair order even after multiple attempts of talking with the service manager and general manager. I consulted another tire service company and they could not tell why. I am at a loss and very irritated from the signal every car startup. I have since paid to have another tire rotation to see if I could change the way the sensors are reading to the main relay and it seems to have resolved the issue for now.

My 2007 Chrysler 300 is stuck in park , I took it to the dealership and they said this something that is not covered under warrenty , but is does happen alot. The problem is very to be internal to the shifter assembly. There is a pink plastic arm where the ignition interlock cable attaches in the shifter. This arm is spring loaded and can eventually break. When it does then you won't be able to move the shifter from park because the shifter doesn't know the key is turned on. The dealership want to charge to keep replacing it which mind you is not cover under warrenty. I have talked to people who have had this problem also.
