The contact owns a 2014 (na) Chrysler 300c. While reversing, the vehicle independently shifted into park without warning. On another occasion, while the vehicle was at a complete stop, the vehicle independently shifted into park when the accelerator pedal was depressed. As a result, the vehicle jerked violently and stalled without warning. The vehicle was unable to restart. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (grogan's towne Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram located at 6100 telegraph rd toledo, ohio 43612) more than twice, but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent out engineers who could not duplicate the failure and determined that the vehicle was fine. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
The vehicle was sold with an outdated battery and later experienced repeated breakdowns. During the first repair visit, the dealership replaced the battery and alternator but failed to identify the root cause of the problem. The vehicle was returned, but the next day it broke down again. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the wiring harness was severely burnt and melted, creating a significant safety hazard that could cause stalling, fire, or total electronic failure. The dealership later diagnosed a pcm failure, which was not detected during the first repair visit. The wiring damage and pcm issue were not disclosed to the vehicle owner by the dealership, and there was no explanation provided for the cause. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership during the second visit, and photographs of the wiring damage are available. The electrical system and engine control were compromised, placing the driver and others at risk of sudden vehicle failure while driving.
