Owner of Chrysler 300 and have taken car in every 3,000 miles as instructed by service center at dealership where I bought it. It appears dealer was notified May 27, 2015 about air bag but never called to put me on alert. Took the car to the dealer once I got the recall notice and was told it would be 6 to 8 working days. Called on day 9 and it wasnt in. Told them I need the car for appointments and to go to work. Was told to call Chrysler in detroit about that problem. I will call dealer once a week until fixed. In the past ive requested a check on the sun roof and they never got the person out to check it. Said it was expensive. Asked them to check trunk because when it rains or after car washes collapses and slams shut. I was told, theres nothing wrong with it. Has gotten me in the head twice. Im pulling service receipts to check other problems. Radio goes bing bing when I turn it on and continues for a while after the radio comes on. Answer from service dept: "never heard that before". gps system won't work. Tried to use it and it sent a message: Check the disc drive (words to that affect) tried to check disc drive and can't get it to open. Button is frozen. Tow truck driver was out to charge a battery in another car and heard the tick tick going on in the Chrysler. He said take it in... he lost an engine because he didn't. they fixed it once and told me I got it in just in time. It's ticking again. Car appears to be in a total state of failure. Fix its: Plug adapter 7-19-13; lever shift kit (car won't come of park) 7/19/13; adj tire pressure rating - $10 for technician 1/26/13; replace right head - rocker arm inlet and exhaust 12/21/11; $640 for 30,000 mile checkup and flushed engine; never once told me there were major problems. 66,254 miles.

Vehicle was parked in garage. Had been driven home at 11:30P.M. and woke up to fire in the garage at 1A.M. entire home and contents were lost. We had to jump from 2nd story windows to escape our home. Fire department and fire marshals felt that fire began in the garage and found it undetermined, but told us that they felt strongly that it was the vehicle. We contacted our insurance company with info we found online that stated the braking problem was being recalled. They stated that they had no information to pursue. Car was also a total loss. Is there anything more we can do to find out why this recall #06V149000 was never sent to us? had we known we would have parked the vehicle away from our home!!!! and would have gladly taken it in for repair that was needed.

I have contacted Chrysler Corp customer service about a few of the safety issues I have experienced with my Chrysler 300 limited. No heip! I have experienced the gear shift getting stuck in drive. After going onto a Chrysler forum where many other 300 customers experienced the same thing I found a quick fix to allow me to drive the car to a local repair shop using a screw driver. Long story but yes I had to stick a screw drive into the gear box to release the car into drive and out repair cost $175 I was informed my VIN wasn't a part of the recall! next issue the cooling fans in front of the car. I was getting some food at drive thru. As soon as I drive in line I heard a loud bang one of the fans mounts became loose and the fan blades hit to side wall and broke. $500 later to replace and yes again there was a recall for that but not my VIN!!!! final straw my son and I where driving home from a game it was raining. Both of us notice the smell of smoke coming from the vent it was faint but consistent. We luckily didn't have far travel home. When I pulled in and turned the car off I opened the hood a lil bit smoke and because the rain was hitting the engine it made a lil bit more of smoke. So I closed it and went inside. The next day I noticed both the passenger head light and fog lights weren't working. I checked the fuses, good. Went up to get replacement bulbs. The employee at the store had a [xxx] of a time trying to removing the light from the harness. We noticed that the plastic was melted and dis colored. When I got home I got a look at the fog light harness it was factory fogs and the harness was melted black plastic. So I had to order replacement fog lights and head lights $475. Im thankful we where blessed that the car didn't fully catch fire because no amount of money could replace my son!! there is 3 more electric issues at this time! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
While driving various speeds, all of the gauges on the instrument panel malfunctioned and all of the warning lights illuminated. This has been happening for several years. At first, it would happen and then nothing for a few months. It has begun to happen more frequently. It has occurred several times in the past few days.
While driving app 55 mph at app 8pm at night my cars lights and all the dash lights went out and the car completely stalled. I was able to turn on flashers and coast the car to the side of the road. I sat there for several minutes and then the car restarted. Fortunately there was no one following behind me. I have been out of town on business and used a company car. Upon my return I took my car to our local shop today. They were unable to detect any problems, however shared an article stating more than 150,000 Chrysler owners have had similar trouble. They contacted the nearest Dodge/Chrysler dealer in aberdeen Washington who offered no help or information. They could give no reason for the incident. We have not received any recall notice, nor information regarding any possible problems. How should I proceed" I am unable to drive my vehicle for fear this may happen again, and this time I may not be so fortunate. This has created a significant burden and stress. It seems someone should be accountable and that there is a significant liability by not being notified of this significant safety issue. Is this an issue I need my attorney to address" thanks in advance for your help. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
