This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The new 300's are having a problem with the emergency brake. The pedal to set the emergency brake sits too close to the door opening. While driving or parked if you touch, brush or nudge the emergency brake pedal at all it sets the sensor as if the brake has been set. The manufactorer has not been able to fix this problem as of yet, the dealer stated that this is a design flaw that there is no way to adjust the brake and that the sensor is very touchy. At this point my vehicle has been in for repair 3 times. They can not be sure if the vehicle will react in anyway while driving and this happens since the sensor is telling the brain that the brake is set.
