| Wheel problems |
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.
2 issues: 1)while driving, vehicle frequently shows no air pressure in front driver side tire sensor, happens frequently 2) while starting, vehicle will start and run for approx 2-3 seconds then engine will shut off, issue 2 typically does not repeat after turning off vehicle then restarting. This issue occurred more often when starting vehicle after being briefly turned off.
When in park my vehicle rolled backwards to the bottom of my driveway. I was able to make it happen multiple times. I was able to have my wife record it on video from both sides of the vehicle. It happened when parking partially on ice. The passenger rear tire turned against the roll of the vehicle. All 3 other tires rolled with the vehicle. My vehicle has the hemi 5. 7l, 5 spd transmission, awd, and my shifter is not the dial type but a regular shifter type. Is the passenger rear tire the only one that keeps the vehicle from rolling rearward while in park? I can provide the video evidence.
Abs light malfunction affecting steering and smooth ride and vehicle control.
Car randomly stalls, at any speed, dash lights flash on and off, wipers turn on by them self , horn sounds by itself. Had it at the dealership for 2 months, had at sometimes 40+ codes come up on the computer. Changed multiply modules they cant figure it out.
This is the fourth time for this incident my car gave no indication it was about to stall no lights on dash board . It appeared that something switch the ignition to the accessory position. Unable to steer, or use the breaks the car stop immediately can not get to a safe place. . Has been to the Chrysler dealer four time this year for other related problems. But Chrysler was not able to diagnosis or repair this problem. Was told it would not read a code. It was internal problem. For 21days they kept my car without repair. . Second visit was 9-10 days with approximately five day with the owner my latest stay was 4days. My car drove approxmate; 50 miles before stalling again. For the first time I use another repair shop other than Chrysler. The worker seem well pleased when I stated I would not return with the same problem. I spoke with the manger and could not get the problem solved.
The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300c. While driving at approximately 45 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. In addition, the contact stated that there was an abnormal noise coming from the rear passenger side wheel of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 73,000.
I dropped off my car to have new tires put on it. The shop called me back and said it may leak air if they put the original aluminum stem back in they don't carry Chrysler parts so they suggested using a rubber stem. They said I can purchase one from auto store and have the dealer or another shop install it. When I picked up my car the tpms (tire pressure monitoring sensor) was not reading one of the tires. They said if it doesn't work by the morning to bring it back in. I brought it back and received a call 4 hrs later stating they had pulled the tire pressure monitor sensor out of the tire the day before and left it in my cup holder. They stated there is nothing they can do that I need to take it somewhere to have it fixed. The sensor works and worked when I brought it in. (they had rotated my tires a month earlier and had no issues reported at that time) they indicated they were having an issue removing the needle from the valve stem so they decided to remove the entire sensor. I am writing this because I thought it was illegal to remove a mandatory safety device and give me the car back and tell me to have another place take care of it. 49 usc 30122(b).
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.
Making a u-turn and my car cuts off, I hit the brakes immediately but still hit the curb with my wheels and passenger side bumper. Please recall this gas tank issue. These cars are not safe!! they cut off at random times, unpredictable.
The drivers side rear tire kept losing air, so I brought it back several times. They kept saying it was fixed, it lasted about 6 weeks and started losing air again, after weeks of putting air in it I brought it to another shop to have it looked at. Come to find out the aluminum wheel had a crack in it and had what looked like j b weld on it. I had to buy a new wheel for the cost of $355. I took the cracked wheel back to the dealer and he said, how do I know you didn't do that, that's when I lost it. They put my family and I in a car with a cracked wheel and they knew it. He said what was your warranty I said 30 days and told me to get off his lot. I asked him to just make it right. The passenger side headlight is all fogged up they will not replace it, it does not shine as bright as the other one at night. It seems to me like they put a sticker on that car knowing it had defects with it and they don't care. I think they need that right to give out stickers revoked. I told him I was going to call my lawyer he said go a head call any body you want. So I did starting with ate ag office I am dealing with masspirg ref #131117. At this point I would like the headlight fixed the money for the rim and soothing for my time and aggravation like maybe the cost of the car or they can take it back and reimburse all monies invested by me.
Got ready to take kids to the doctor and the tire was flat. Managed to get the tire aired up with compressor at house and took to a mechanic to check to see if the tire was punctured. Turns out no puncture. Decided to replace tire in case of "dryrot", when tire was taken off, the rim was cracked. Had to buy another rim. 2 months later, another rim did the same thing. Now we've had a third rim crack. These are the standard factory rims that the vehicle rolled of the production floor with.
