2018 Chrysler 300 Madison, GA

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Windshield seams unhinged, the interior panels buckled and unhinged obstructing airbags, and wiper dispenser malfunctions causing poor visibility while driving. I’ve experienced every disappointment and near dangers of uconnect to having the system replaced with the same brand to no avail. I have date stamped pictures depicting the unsafe issues. I even went back to the dealership of purchase to get answers. They confirmed having knowledge of all issues I mentioned but they have done nothing to repair, replace, or provide suggestions.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

This Chrysler 300 is equipped with side view mirrors which tilt down when vehicle is placed in reverse gear. It is suppose to tilt a few degrees so that you can see noting is under your rear tires such as a small child or o pet cat, dog,etc. However this vehicle s mirrors tild down so far the only view you have is the ground area directly under the drivers /passenger front door. You could see a child or pet or even to safely back the vehicle up. I have taken this to the dealership they tell me there is no fix for this condition Is this something associated with just this car??? Or, have other vehicles had this problem??

The sunroof is leaking and water has ran into the radio causing the touchscreen to start going crazy and can not operate a lot of the functions it does. It ended up turning on defrost and fogging up the windshield and I ran into oncoming traffic. I have brought this to my dealer on multiple occasions and they will not repair said the car is out of warranty.it will also call people on the phone And trying to hang up have taken my eyes off the road and have had several close calls with it doing this.

MY CAR WILL OUTRIGHT JUST STOP FOR NO REASON. I WILL SIT AT A LIGHT AND THE RPM GUAGE WILL START GOING OUT OF CONTROL AND THE CAR WILL REV ON ITS OWN. THEN I WILL START DRIVING AND TI WILL BE FIND UNTIL I GO TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES. THEN THE WHOLE CAR WILL CUT OUT. I'M ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN OVER AGAIN AFTER TWO OR THREE EFFORTS OF TURNING THE KEY AND PUMPING THE BRAKE. IT HAS ONCE DONE IT WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, WHICH I AM NOT OKAY WITH. LUCKILY, WE WERE TURNING INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY INTO HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. IT TURNED OFF AND ON ABOUT 7 TIMES DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE IT STARTED RUNNING PROPERLY AGAIN. IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I WOULD HIT THE BRAKES OR ATTEMPT TO TURN. THE CAR CUT OUT LIKE IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS PLENTY IN THE TANK. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE (TRACTION, ABS, ETC) CAME ON AND THEN DISAPPEARED ONCE IT STARTED RUNNING OKAY AGAIN. I HAD MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED TWICE THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND IT WAS NOT. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND IT'S TO LATE TO FIX IT.

2014 Chrysler 300 Trenton, MI

VISIBILITY/WIPER

DRIVER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH BACKUP CAMERA SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2016. ORIGINALLY, THE CAMERA WOULD JUST GO IN AND OUT. A BLACK SCREEN WOULD SHOW UP ON THE MONITOR ONCE THE CAR WAS PUT INTO REVERSE. THIS WAS MENTIONED TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE CAMERA WOULD NEVER ACT UP WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DRIVER WAS ALSO TOLD THAT AN UPDATE WOULD EVENTUALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM, WHICH IT DID NOT. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO REVERSE NOW, THE PICTURE ON THE MONITOR FROM THE BACK UP CAMERA IS ACTUALLY FLIPPED ON THE MONITOR. SO WHAT IS ACTUALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR, SHOWS UP ON THE LEFT SIDE. RECENTLY WHEN GETTING RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE TAKEN CARE OF, THE DRIVER FOUND OUT THAT THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED IN 2015. THIS WAS PRIOR TO THE CAR BEING PURCHASED IN 2016. THESE PROBLEMS WERE BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP, TELEGRAPH CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN TAYLOR, MI. THE BACK UP CAMERA WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, NOW IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE PERCEPTION IN THE BACK UP CAMERA COULD DECEIVE THE DRIVER.
