THE CAR HAS ONLY 92000 MILES AND MAINTAINED GOOD. SINCE IT WAS ONLY 70000 MILES THE A.C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT INSIDE THE DASHBOARD THE EVAPORATOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY CAUSING FREON LEAK. AND OUTRAGE REPAIR OF 2000 DOLLARS WILL BE THE COST. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY CHRYSLER'S 300 2005-2010. SINCE THAT IS A MAIN ISSUE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART? IT SEEMS LIKE THAT COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OVER A 10000 CUSTOMERS AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ON THEIR PRODUCTS CHRYSLER GUARANTY THAT ISSUE LIKE THIS WOULD NOT APPEAR UNTIL VEHICLE REACH AT LEAST 100000 MILES. LIVING IN STATE OF FLORIDA THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TEMPERATURES REACH 120 F IN…

THE CAR WON'T SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR NEUTRAL REVERSE IT JUST WON'T MOVE AT ALL AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM NOTHING ELSE IS WRONG WITH MY CAR IT JUST WON'T GO INTO GEAR I HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO BRING IT HOME AND HOW HE GOT IT ON THE TRUCK HE SPRAYED WD-40 AND PULL IT ON THAT'S THAT WAY IT WAS EASY TO SLIDE UP ON A FLATBED. SO I'M WONDERING COULD IT BE THE SAFETY NEUTRAL SWITCH ON A 300
- Air bags
TAKATA AIRBAG COMPLAINT. THE DEALER HAS ONLY REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AND AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS (OVER THE COURSE OF ALMOST 2 YEARS) HAS NEVER CONTACTED US TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART(S) IS /ARE UNAVAILABLE. ALSO - ALTHOUGH WE WERE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS VEH, WE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. WE HAD TO DO OUR OWN RESEARCH.

MY CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND REMOVED THE COMPONENTS. I NOTICED THAT PINK PLASTIC SHIFT RELEASER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I ALSO PREVIOUSLY HAD A CHRYSLER 300 AND IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE. IT WILL COST ME OVER $400.00 BECAUSE I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEM BECAUSE OF ONE PLASTIC PART. I WILL TRY TO REPLACE IT MYSELF WITH BILLETED ALUMINUM PART THAT I CAN BUY AT THE CAR PARTS STORE, INSTEAD BUYING THE WHOLE SYSTEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER CAN NOT PUT MORE DURABLE ONES. LIKE I SAID I ALREADY OWNED ONE CHRYSLER 300 AND THE SAME ISSUE EMERGED, SO WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENED I DECIDED TO WRITE ABOUT IT.

WENT TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, COULD NOT. TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER SPRING HOOK FAILED. I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL (K39) FOR THIS PART, BUT IT WAS VIN SPECIFIC. SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE AS WELL AS REPAIR INSTRUCTION. CALLED DEALER WHO STATED HE HASN'T HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM, BUT AS A COINCIDENCE ANOTHER 300 WAS BEING WORKED ON TODAY FOR THE VERY SAME REASON. DEALER ALSO STATED MY VIN DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE RECALL CATEGORY. DEALER WANTED OVER $400.00 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFTER HOUSING INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE BROKEN PART ITSELF AND SAID THE JOB WOULD TAKE ABOUT 3 HRS TO PERFORM. I WENT TO A CAR PARTS STORE AND BOUGHT A BILLETED ALUMINUM REPLACEMENT PART…

WHEN THE CAR STARTS, THERE IS NO STATION LISTED ON THE RADIO. ALL I SEE IS RED LINES AND THE LONGER I DRIVE THAT PART ( CHANNEL INDICATOR) GETS HOT. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS FIRE BEHIND IT. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL START A FIRE. IT COOLS DOWN WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR. I STARTED THE CAR THIS MORNING (6/15/14) NOW THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 4 LINES SHOWING, BUT IT STILL STARTS TO GET HOT. I'M GOING TO TRY TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER(HERITAGE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OWINGS MILLS,MD. 21117 410-356-1800) WHICH IS ABOUT 10 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. *JS

I WENT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ONE DAY AND IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I DID CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING. THE REPORTED ISSUE IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK SPRING BREAKS RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE BEING STUCK IN PARK. I FOUND A TEMPORARY BYPASS METHOD UNTIL I COULD GET IT REPAIRED. ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBLE RECALL: CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39. I CALLED CHRYSLER RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THEY ADVISED THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES, MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL GROUP, THEREFORE I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. I ALSO SEARCHED ON THIS WEBSITE, AND…
