EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
WHILE DRIVING USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR SEEMS TO HESITATE FOR A SECOND, DROP INTO A LOWER GEAR AND THE TOP SPEED IS LIMITED - THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS GO ON. A MESSAGE ALSO APPEARS SAYING "FCW OFF", AND THE ACC WILL NOT WORK. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING REMOVES ALL INDICATIONS OF THE PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WHICH GOES OFF EVENTUALLY. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A DEALER WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LIGHT WENT OUT WHILE TESTING, OTHER TIME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, BUT UPDATED SOFTWARE AND REPLACED A SWITCH. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON LONG TRIPS AND MUCH TO MY PERSONNEL CONCERNS WHEN I'M IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR CONKS OUT.

OUR ENGINE WENT OUT AND NEEDED REPLACED WHEN CAR WAS UNDER 80,000 MILES. IT HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR OVER $3000. NOW WE ARE TOLD THAT THE CRADLE/SUBFRAME THAT HOLDS THE ENGINE IN IS RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING OUR VEHICLE PROBLEMS WHEN TURNING RIGHT. IT'S READY TO BREAK AND CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS IF WE CONTINUE DRIVING IT!!! I'VE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS WITH BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ONLINE THAT PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED TO THE COMPANY. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET A RECALL? A DEATH AS RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT CAUSED FROM DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE KIDS...ITS UNSAFE AND COSTLY... WHAT A JUNK CAR CHRYSLER :(

EQUIPMENT
THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. NOW THE CAR WON'T START AT ALL DUE TO THE FAULTY IGNITION IN THE 2008 CHRYSLER 300 WHICH HAS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2014. IT IS THE P57 RECALL. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE FOR 3 MONTHS. AND CHRYSLER NOR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES/DEALERSHIPS HAVE OFFERED US ANY FIX BE IT TEMPORARY, PERMANENT OR BY JUST LOANING US A CAR. WHICH IS RIDICULOUS AND REALLY IS A HARDSHIP FOR A MOTHER WITH AN INFANT AND 5 YEAR OLD WHO GOES TO SCHOOL.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) DOES NOT WORK. INFO I HAVE RECEIVED IS THAT FCW WAS PART OF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) AND ONLY WORKS AS PART OF THAT SYSTEM. THE CHRYSLER MANUAL DOES NOT SAY THAT THE ACC HAS TO BE ON FOR FCW TO WORK. FCW IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TOPIC FROM ACC IN THE MANUAL. FCW IS SUPPOSED TO WORK WHEN YOU COME UP BEHIND A CAR EVEN WITHOUT THE ACC ON. IN MY CAR THE FCW ACTIVATES AT TIMES WHEN THE ACC IS OFF AND IT PICKS UP SOMETHING ON THE RIGHT SUCH AS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME TURNING RIGHT ONTO ANOTHER ROAD. OTHER MANUFACTURES SUCH AS FORD AND HYUNDAI HAVE FCW THAT WORKS WITHOUT THE ACC ON. WHILE NOT RELIEVING THE DRIVER FROM NEEDING TO BRAKE, FCW IS A SAFETY FEATURE I PAID FOR, AND I WANT IT TO WORK. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO TRY TO GET THE FCW FIXED WITH NO SUCCESS .

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
VEHICLE WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE SET AT 70MPH. VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MINE WAS GOING SLOWER MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AUTOMATICALLY AS IT IS DESIGNED TO DO. I PROCEEDED TO LEFT LANE TO PASS THE OTHER VEHICLE (TRUCK) AS I BEGAN PASSING MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO A SPEED OF OVER 85MPH WITHOUT MY TOUCHING EITHER THE GAS PEDAL OR THE RES BUTTON OF THE CRUISE FEATURE. I THEN HAD TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE AND BRAKE THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. IT WAS TERRIFYING. THIS HAPPENED MORE THEN ONCE DURING MY TRIP. I HAD THE VEHICLE INTO CHRYSLER BEFORE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER TURNED THE HEATED SEAT FEATURE AND HEATED STEERING WHEEL FEATURE ON WITHOUT MY TOUCHING THE BUTTONS. THE CAR WAS REPROGRAMMED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND I AM WONDERING IF THE REPROGRAMMING AFFECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE.

EQUIPMENT
I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. FROM THE FIRST WEEK THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR(2/10/2013) USED WITH 71,000 MILES THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUES I EXPERIENCED WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR BY SHIFTING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN EVEN WHEN I WAS NOT ACCELERATING, THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHENEVER I WOULD GO OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE PROBLEM ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY INSIDE MY TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT ISSUE I EXPERIENCED WAS A SHIFTING IN THE FRONT END WHENEVER I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP OR POT HOLE IN THE ROAD, I FOUND OUT THAT THE STRUT, BALL JOINT, AND THE ROCKER ARM HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY FRONT END. THEN THE DIALS ON MY DASH STARTED TO GO CRAZY PERIODICALLY FOR NO REASON AT ALL, I HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS IS BUT I ASSUME IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER. I ALSO EXPERIENCED COMPLETE FAILURE OF MY COOLING SYSTEM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIER, CONDENSER, EXPANSION VALVE, AND ONE OTHER PART THAT I CANNOT REMEMBER. THE TOTAL FOR THIS JOB WAS ABOUT 2,700 AND THE TRANSMISSION WORK WAS 3,750 AND THE WORK ON THE FRONT END WAS A TOTAL OF ABOUT 800.00 NOT TO MENTION THE BRAKES I'VE REPLACED AND THE NEW SET OF TIRES I BOUGHT FOR THE CAR AND I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 1 YEAR AND 7 MONTHS.
