Car was stalling and had electrical issues. I paid to get it fixed but never knew there was a recall for my vehicles alternator. The vehicle battery dies fairly quickly from time to time still and every know and then I have to call AAA to jump my car and they say my battery is good. Chrysler's number for this recall is T36. I never received a noticed.
Was on my way home from work and car completely lost power as I was preceding to go after stopping at a stop sign. I was LITERALLY in the middle of the road. Car wouldn't crank AT ALL. Engine started OVERHEATING causing smoke to disburse from engine. NO WARNING LIGHTS before this occurred. A big truck was coming down the road and I had to exist the vehicle. Luckily a car wasn't in the other lane so the truck went on the other side of the road. I was terrified! I called 911 to get a deputy dispatch to direct traffic around my car to avoid mutiple COLLISION. I had to have my vehicle towed. I never want another Chrysler again these cars are UNSAFE. I could have died what if my child was in the car?! I took my car to a mechanic to put on computer scanner and it gave off SEVEN codes ALL due to ELECTRICAL ISSUES! CAR IS APPARENTLY STUCK IN LIMP MODE IDK I'M SO CONFUSED AND DISAPPOINTED. I reported the issue to Chrysler recall line and they did NOTHING.
My vehicle stalls when placed from reverse to drive and the check engine light blinks and goes to Eco mode which makes the car shake. I-??ve had a tuneup, oil change, brakes, O2 sensor and spark plugs replaced and the issues still exist. The car also will initiate skid control without warning or pressing the button which slows the car down and causes the engine to rev above 3-6rpm

The contact owns a 2012 Chrysler 300. While driving various speeds, the vehicle's thermostat ran hot. While accelerating, the thermostat would reset to normal. The contact also stated that while accelerating at 55 mph, the vehicle shut off and the electronic throttle control (etc) warning indicator illuminated. The contact had to wait thirty minutes before the vehicle was able to be restarted and resume normal driving. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the thermostat was replaced, but no error codes could be found regarding the etc. Despite the thermostat replacement, the failures persisted. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 132,000.
While driving my car during a stoplight it suddenly stalled and died. My gear was still in drive. I tried to restart my car but it wasnt able to start it jus kept making a clicking sound like it was trying to start but couldnt and last for 30 secs. I wasnt able to put the gear into neutral. So in was stalled ok the road. After trying to attempt to restart the engine light went on. I am very frustrated because I just got my car back from the dealership after them replacing my water pump and thermostat twice 1 year apart. Now it's back at the shop and I have to pay 140 to have them diagnose it after spending 1200. I checked my warranty and service contract and they all expired.
Engine first started making a knocking noise then after about two weeks, engine made a loud cracking noise, then a presentence constance knock engine light came on had the code checked came up as a misfire on the #1 cylinder. Had a tune up done knock got worse. Was informed by a mechanic of the possibility of a timing chain / camshaft problem called Chrysler was informed that the recall P01 doesn't apply to my VIN, my vehicle is a Canadian manufactured car
While driving at highway speed (70mph), the oil pressure suddenly dropped from a normal 55+psi to about 15psi and the engine started to vibrate bad and run eradically. Slowing down and stopping, it felt like it was going to stall making it much, much harder to steer the vehicle and slow down due to the lack of vacuum created by the engine to assist with the power brakes and RPM's needed to provide power steering assist. Oil pressure dropped to about 5psi at idle. No knocking sound from the lower end of the engine, just valvetrain tapping/ticking. This vehicle needs towed. This is a low mileage vehicle-well under 100K miles and documented care. There are many, many hemi equipped vehicles on the road and at dealerships that have these related timing chains breaking / timing chain tensioners breaking and failing, camshaft and lifters grinding themselves away but, very few are reported as either tsb's or recalls. This is potentially a very deadly and dangerous issue and should not be taken lightly!!! extremely dangerous!!!
5.7 hemi defective lifter. The 2012 5.7 hemis used defective lifters, hundreds of complaints about the lifters failing can be found on Dodge forums across the internet. What happens, is the roller on the lifter that rolls along the camshaft is prone to locking up, it then grinds into the camshaft. This can lead to misfires and cause metal flakes to circulate through the engine via oil. If left unchecked, it may also lead to a total engine failure. I have seen complaints of this on all Chrysler products that have a 5.7L, durango, charger, challenger, Ram, and Jeep and from my research, I see the bulk of these failures happening between 80000 and 120000 miles, lifters should not be failing that soon. In my case, at approximately 160000 miles, mainly highway miles, my check engine light illuminated, I scanned the vehicle, it was throwing a cylinder 5 misfire code, so I started small. First I replaced the spark plugs, I then tried swapping ignition coils to see if the code would follow the ignition coil, it did not. I then tested my fuel system, the pump, the fuel rails, and the injectors, all were working normally. For one last effort, I checked my air flow system, the mass airflow sensor, the barometric pressure sensor, the manifold absolute pressure sensor, and of course the air filter. All were working normally. I then took the vehicle into a Dodge dealer, they tore the engine down and found that the lifters were failing, after $2,000 to repair the lifters, the code still persists. I removed my valve cover and watched the lifters as a friend tried to crank the engine, the cylinder 5 lifter is not traveling as much as the others, this tells me that the camshaft has been dug into by the faulty lifter that was replaced and is why the new lifter is not traveling as much as it should. It will cost another two grand to replace the camshaft. Please investigate.
