| 2007 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DURING COLD WINTER DAY (20 DEGREES OR BELOW) WHEN THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND A FEW SECONDS LATER RE-BOOTED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO DO SO DURING THE DRIVE HOME AND DURING THE NEXT WEEK UNTIL I COULD GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNSURE OF THE ISSUE. SHOWED THEM A VIDEO THAT WAS TAKEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE YOUR CAR TOTALLY SHUT DOWN WHILE GOING 70 MPH). THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH -- NOT WARRANTIED, $300 REPAIR. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY YEAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 2012 (WEATHER IN REGION WAS WARMER AND DIDN'T MEET CONDITIONS AS PREVIOUS YEARS). NOW IT'S 2013 AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED DURING A RECENT BLIZZARD. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEIR HANDS ARE TIED, BUT I THINK THIS IS A CHRYSLER DEFECTIVE PART ISSUE. SOMETHING IN VERY COLD WEATHER IS CAUSING THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO SHUT DOWN, WHICH COULD CAUSE A DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE ISSUE FROM A RECENT COMMUTE, AS WELL AS THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE ON-GOING ISSUE STARTING BACK IN 2010. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED ON 2/21/2013 WITH THE DETAILS. MY UTMOST CONCERN IS THAT THIS WILL (OR HAS) CAUSED A FATALITY AND CHRYSLER SEEMS UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PART. . *TR |
| 2006 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD LOOSE POWER. THE CONTACT WOULD PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD RUN NORMALLY FOR A WHILE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EGR VALVE IS DEFECTIVE IN THE VEHICLE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY COULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 54,913. |
