general problems of the 2007 Chrysler 300C

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.

My 300 has a glitch that causes me to put in neutral then back in drive I'm guessing because of a limp mode, I've had it worked on many times at the dealer in the 3 years I've owned it and spent thousands of dollars and not fix the problem. It done what 06v341000 said but my VIN is not effected they say.

Took car in to dealer for power train issue where the car wouldn’t go over 40mph. Same day my wheel locked causing me to crash. I got a report that this issue was a recall for other models not the 300c.

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!.

Today my wife started her car and was unable to put the vehicle in drive. After doing some research online it revealed that it was a transmission shift interlocking lever issue. Chrysler is well aware about it. They even posted this pdf document online about it. . Read more...

Car is stuck in park. Cannot move shift lever out of park.

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.

We were on the freeway and in the space of several seconds, we lost rpms, the check engine light came on, then the traction light, then all of the lights, then it died just as we got onto the shoulder. The mechanic had to replace timing belt and water pump just to get it running enough to run the codes. Mechanic reports that there are bent valves and 4 of the cylinders are misfiring.

I came out of the store on 4/24/13, placed my bags in the car and started the car. I tried to shift the gear from park, but it would not budge. I turned the car off and on several times to make sure that the car was on. The gear shift still didn't move. I called the dealership to ask what was happening. They told me that this is a very common issue and to look up a video on youtube and it would tell me how to pop it into gear. The problem was that I had no tools. Once I got the tools, the instruction from the video worked. My question is, if this is such a widespread problem as the service technician said it was, why has there not been a recall issued? as soon as I got home and parked, it locked up again. This is not safe.

Once I started my car and tried to move the gear to reverse to back out of a parking space and the gear would not move from park position. Tried moving the steering wheel thinking it was making the gear stick but to no avail. Had to eventually call a tow truck who told me that wasn't his first Chrysler 300 he's had to tow for the same issue. He had to get under the car as well as go thru a panel beside the gears in order for the car to even move to be placed on the tow truck. After dropping off to the dealership, I researched to see if there were any issues with the Chrysler 300 2007 series car. Turns out there was a recall for some of the Chryslers built from June - September 2007 for the same issue and they were able to get a recall to have the issue fixed. I got the issue fixed as well but had to pay. I contacted Chrysler who told me because my car was manufactured in may 2007 that there shouldn't have been any issue and therefore not covered under the recall. Clearly Chrysler is wrong.

The 300c (hemi) hesitates when pulling off, stopping and/or accelerating. It is a danger when merging from ramps on because it does not pull off when the acceleratoris pressed; it hesitates, then take off with a lot of power causing the car to move farther to the left or right of the intended direction because of the hemi power when accelaration catches up. It is a danger and should be addressed before someone is killed or maimed if it has not already occurred.

I was out of town and stopped at a parking lot, and when I started to leave my car would not move out of park. I called the dealer and was told that when the shifter breaks the car must be towed for repair. Just after I called the wrecker a pick-up in the same parking lot caught on fire. The business tried to evacuate the parking lot, but I was not able to leave until the wrecker arrived. Thank goodness we were far enough away from the burning pick-up that there was no damage to my car, but this could have been a very different story if I was parked next to the pick-up. The dealer over-nighted the part from tulsa oklahoma and replaced the part the next morning. We were charged for towing and repair. Since there have been thousands of complaints for the shifter breaking, I feel that this should have been a recall item, thus we would not have been charged.

My 2007 Chrysler 300c has a lifetime powertrain warranty. I received the document listing the parts covered for the lifetime warranty. My abs, esp and tcs lights came on. The right rear speed sensor went bad. I called graven and set up appointment for warranty work. I also called Chrysler corp. I brought my car to graven Chrysler, 10-10-11 at approx. 2:30pm. Graven Chrysler called the next morning, 10-11-11 7:53am my car was ready. Graven said it was going to cost $135. I said that the work was warranty. Graven said it wasn't warranty work because part number doesn't come back as warranty. I explained to the assistant that it is warranty, that my car has a lifetime powertrain warranty. She said that only covers the engine, transmission and driveline. I said it also covers a lot of other parts which I have a list of. She then said, you will have to talk with Chrysler and there was nothing she could do. Chrysler said I have to pay a $50. 00 CO-pay. I said why should I pay a CO-pay when this part has a lifetime warranty. I was told I can pay the $50. 00 or $185. I said that I was told it was $135. I said for now I will pay the $50. 00 but would file a complaint for the warranty and getting my $50. 00 back. The next day I received a call from Chrysler. I was asked how my car was running. I said it drove home ok. She said that she would close the case then. I said that I can't understand why you made me pay $50. 00 CO-pay when the part is listed on the paperwork as having a lifetime warranty under the powertrain. She said that I could call graven Chrysler back and try and get them to except it. I said, why, you are the person who makes the decision as you did about the CO-pay and the graven Chrysler wouldn't even do that. Chrysler corp case number 21430038.

Car would not come out of park. Left the car there overnight. Called flat bed the next day to have it towed to dealer. Called the dealer the next day and they said the tow truck driver got it out of park and it didn't duplicate the problem for the dealer. Nothing fixed just had to pay a tow bill. Have owned the car for six and half years now and it's only done it that one time. Odd.

My car a Chrysler 300c would not come out of park. Went on the internet and seen that this was a problem since 2005. . . . . Why has Chrysler not repair this problem??????.

I've noticed when shifting into drive there is a noticeable delay. It also occurs when shifting from reverse to drive and vise-versa, there's is also a pause/delay that occurs when attempting to accelerate. Noticeable when trying to attempt a u-turn and in the middle of traffic while waiting for the transmission to catch. Once it does catch there's a instant lunge/acceleration, causing everyone in the vehicle whip flash and has caused me to be extra vigilant. Although I've been experiencing this for some time I didn't know the issue was so wide spread. It is a safety issue that Chrysler should be held accountable for. Until this hazard/dangerous problem is rectified I will not consider Chrysler for my next purchase.
