The blinkers ...window wipers ...brights. horn.. battery draining. Horn. Staling. Someone said it's the TIPM.WHICH WAS RECALLED yeARS BACK. I JUST GOT THIS CAR NOT EVEN 2 YEARS AGO.and it's unsafe . I can't see and scared the airbags are gonna diploy
Fuel vapors are strong when I get gas, car is now leaking gas when it’s over half a tank
I'm [xxx] I bought this car in 2010 this car IS a recall every year dont pass smog and I hasto expend $600to$800 dollars in order to pass smokers now it's in the shop ilick poblem I has to pay $1900 to fix the poblem I already expend $1278 to fix other poblems parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6).'
I have a 2009 chrysler 300 that intermittently shuts itself off while driving. When it does this, it loses al power. Lights, flashers, dash lights all turn off. I lose power steering, power brakes and have to manually steer it and brake it to get it off to the side of the road. Once it IS out of traffic I put it in park, turn off the key and then, and only then, I can restart it. When all of this happens, there IS no codes. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it and they said that everything IS fine because there isn't any codes. I called chrysler customer service and filed a case. #78850950. They claimed to have any prior knowledge of this happening on any other chrysler product. The last time the car shutdown I was making a left hand turn and it shut itself down as I was going across a very busy highway and it almost caused an accident as cars swerved out of the way so not to hit me broadside. Neither chrysler or it's dealership will help me get this problem fixed stating that they have done everything that they are required to do and that the diagnostic machines says there isn't a problem. I suggested that they take the car and drive it around because it will indeed repeat in a couple of days time. The dealership told me that since it's a 2009 that I would be better off getting a new car.i told them that I want this one fixed. They told me that it would cost me thousands for them to hook up test equipment and drive it around. It IS in my opinion that this IS a safety issue and it will be only a matter of time before someone IS killed. There are several similar complaints on the internet. I offer you this car to inspect and drive and see if what I am telling you IS in fact what IS occurring. What bothers me the most, that this car shuts off all the power and there isn't a single code being generated by the computer.
TL* the contact owns a 2009 chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the residence. An independent mechanic was called to the residence to diagnose the vehicle. The contact was informed that the timing belt needed to be replaced. The contact was also informed that the alternator was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. The vin was unavailable.
Drivers side seat warmer burned a hole through the seat cover and burned a hole through the coat I was wearing. I was driving on the highway when I felt 'pinching' on my lower back and smelled a burning odor. I turned off the seat warmer and drove the vehicle home. I was instructed by by my local chrysler dealer to call chrysler directly and get case number. Did so.. Case number 75085832. Never received a call back after 4 follow up calls. Dealer will not fix until chrysler looks at it.
After receiving several post cards to get the airbag recall, I brought the car to dadeland chrysler/jeep on march 12, 2019. After keeping the car the whole day I was told my car did not qualify for the recall, the service mgr and I spoke with chrysler customer service who refuse to approve the airbag replacement, and the dealer did not do the work because it was not going to be reimbursed. Since then I have received several calls from chrysler and each time I have explained what happened, then I am told they will check and get back to me and I never hear from them again. Bottom line, chrysler corp refuses to do the airbag recall and I need your agency to get involved in this matter. I have also file a complain with the florida highway safety and motor vehicle but I doubt they will take action on the matter. I hope you force chrysler to carry out the mandated recall and fine them for refusing to carry out the nhsa order. I hope to hear from you regarding the outcome of my complain.
Takata are all complaint of mine IS that it has placed me a unsafe driving state for 3 years without the ability of a car replacement until this problem was solved. Other dealerships that had an airbag problem did presuming that they really cared. For a long time, I have been driving scared. Doing my best to get to a chrysler dealership now.. If I could have traded it I would have.
This car has a plastic key fob used as the key. sometimes I turn the key and nothing happens. I have replaced the battery repeatedly in the fob itself. I wish it had a metal key so I could figure out if it IS something in the ignition or in the fob itself. I'm afraid I am going to lose power when driving and crash. the dealer said a new ignition IS over $1000 but I am not convinced this will solve my issue. I am also afraid an electrical problem could make my airbags not work or a fire inside. I know chrysler has recalled 2 million cars for ignition issues but mine has not been included thus far and I'm not sure why. I do not think the problem will magically correct itself, but it IS intermittent with no rhyme or reason just depends
While driving at highway speed, the car completely shut down. The engine, interior lights, exterior lights, power steering, and power brakes all shut down. The car effectively was moving on a busy highway with no power. I had to pull over to the road side thru traffic and the car had to restart the car. This has started to happen frequently. I noticed that there were recalls on years prior to and after this year for ignition key issues. I only use the key while driving with no key ring attached. In the last few weeks this has occurred 4 times while at highway speed. In the year that I have owned it, this has happened at lower speeds but less frequently. I am now working evening hours and the lights shutting down has become a bigger issue.
TL* the contact owns a 2009 chrysler 300. While driving 5 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to vero beach dodge (currently renamed vatland chrysler dodge jeep RAM, located at 855 south, US-1, vero beach, fl 32962, (772) 567-6633) where it was diagnosed that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000. The vin was not available.
Driving the vehicle on busy hi-way and the car stopped for no reason. no power unable to get above 5 miles per hour.
Horn keep on sounding ...car shake when driven to stop.horn doesnt work when applied sound rather in another time on its own.there IS a sound keep on coming when ac IS applied etc....
I have been trying to schedule an appointment with my local dealer, I requested a rental car so I could get around and get to work while the repairs are being made. I have not gotten anywhere. I requested the rental at no charge since this isn't my doing, its no fault of my own and now I have to take time time out of my busy day to bring it the car to get fixed. Its a real hassle. They can simply provide me a vehicle to use while the repairs are going on. I will not schedule another appointment until I receive a voucher or compensation for a rental. Mopar has got nothing accomplished here either.
Car IS hesitant to crank after trying to start back up tried starter,alternator,battery still having problems
On february 10,2017 the car would not start. I got a charge and drove it home. the next morning the car started. after driving for a while I realized my turn signals didn't work. it began raining and I realized the wipers didn't work. after checking further I found my horn didn't work either.

NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation opened these reviews into vehicles including this one.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
