Chrysler Model 300s Vehicle, 2018, repair service by an authorized Chrysler dealer in Puerto Rico, certified the replacement of original manufacturer parts of the power steering (Rack-Pinion) on three occasions, which does not accept the programming of technical support by the automotive specialists of the authorized Chrysler repair shop. It is evident that this vehicle faces a hidden problem from the manufacturer which had not been detected until now. Diagnosis could not replace the part because the programming defect by the manufacturer was not found. It is important to start an investigation into the power steering known as (Rack-Pinion), it is working correctly for the driver's safety to drive safely on the roads without this defect, which could not be corrected by the automotive technicians authorized by Chrysler in Puerto Rico, causing an accident.

The computer issue has been on going for a while. The computer screen jumps around on its own changes air and heat settings, radio settings, blanks out on the rear view site while in use. Transmission skips on take off and bumps when changing gears particularly reverse and park...... recently, last week, the car cut off in the middle of turning into a drive way no warning light or sign of distress. I attempted to start it and it just clicked like it was out of gas but wasnt. The (P) for parking kept blinking because it would not go in park completely so it never started. I had to use the parking brake to prevent it from rolling. I towed it to a auto repair shop and it was determined that there was an electrical fault with the fuel tank. So almost 1, ooo$ later it was replaced and its running however the transmission is not quite right. Im concerned about the fuel pump issue because it was sudden with no type of warning light etc. Theres been no "park outside recall' for this VIN# and I would like to know what I should to do to somewhat ensure my safety. Thank you for your consideration during this difficult time. I hope to hear back with a solution or advice.
LCD Display becomes delaminated, display settings won't stay set, jumps around, beeps non stop losing all saved settings; radio/SiriusXM stations change randomly, climate control changes randomly(AC/heat and seat), Navigation/ hands free communication lost, accesses my contacts and makes calls randomly, back up screen lost, all at the same time, very distracting being a safety hazard. Dysfunctional LCD remains, continues daily, is available for inspection and has been reproduced at the service center. Unfortunately the repair is very costly, therefore I must live with the distracted driving daily. I've reached out to Uconnect and Chrysler Customer Care for support and no response.
I started having problems with acceleration, I would go to pull out and the car would choke. When I put my car in reverse I would get an error message telling me to put my car in park and then desired gear. When I did that it would not go into reverse, I would have to shut my car off and then restart it. At time the check engine light would come on and then go off. I attempted to have it checked multiple times but when I got to the dealership it would be off again. I finally was able to get it to the dealer while it was on and was told I needed a new transmission and I would need to bring it in for a full diagnosis. I got it to a transmission shop shop and had the transmission replaced. When he ordered the transmission and installed it the transmission module was bad. I really feel due to the fact that a brand new transmission had a defective transmission module that the issue is that the model transmission in that car is defective.

I have found that going at lower speeds, like accelerating from stop, or driving thru a parking lot, the transmission jolts the entire car. Like it is slipping in and out of gear. It also seems to shift really hard in to second gear, not all the time but is just getting worse. The vehicle only has 26000 miles on it and has been serviced at the correct intervals. Also electrical issues with passenger side window motor, it does not want to roll up. This has happened 4 or 5 times in the last 2 weeks. Usb hook up for our phone does not recognize the device, after changing to a different port, still the same result.

Check engine light comes on, vehicle has no power, can't accelerate. Shows codes P0340 P0365 U1428. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle! I was on the freeway and the accelerator pedal is totally unresponsive. Holding it to the floor kept the speed steady until I was able to pull off the side of the road.
Electronic stability control warning light came on. The vehicle would not accelerate even with the gas pedal pushed to the floor. This is very dangerous!!!! I was going 35 in the rain on the freeway when this occurred. Traffic started to speed up and I could could not accelerate to keep up with traffic. It took over a mile to get up to speed. If something should fail, it should not make the car unsafe to operate.
