I have a 2010 Chrysler 300 and when I fill my tank up I take the handle out when it clicks I don’t keep filling because I know not to. My car will smell like someone poured gas into my backseat and if I roll the driver side window down for air it seems to get stronger for a little over 3 months now until it gets a quarter in a half below full. Now I don’t fill my car up all the way due to that and no one has figured it out yet. I have replaced lines and caps and now the fuel pump to find out none of it was the problem. I was followed home tonight to be told my car was pouring out gas from under the fuel pump area while I was driving. So I took a video of it pouring out under the driver back seat area and then I pulled off the back seat to find gas all on top of my brand new fuel pump. First I figured maybe the seal wasn’t on right but everything was put on correctly but yet I have no clue why there is gas everywhere especially seeing the pump is in correct. I can’t drive my car nor take my grandson anywhere with my car smelling like gas. Not understanding why my old and new fuel pump is backing up and I wouldn’t run my car on empty nor overfill. I have spent a bit of money into my car replacing things to continue to have the same problem. Major issue scared to ride in my car not knowing if it is going to catch on fire and that is my main transportation. By the way I changed my fuel pump because my car wouldn’t start yesterday and I didn’t hear the fuel pump turning on so tapped it a few times and it clicked on and it was whining so loud I parked it a few blocks away at a family members house scared to be stuck on the side of the road going home yesterday. Seatbelt lock box quit working as well I literally have to push it in 50 times to get it to click very irritating especially if you are in a hurry but that is way minor compared to my gas issue for the last few months Wish I could share video to show gas pouring out can’t see in pictures
The contact owned a 2010 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while her partner was driving at 30 MPH, he crashed into a vehicle due to his vision being obstructed by the sun. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact's partner was taken to the hospital by ambulance, where he was treated for whiplash, a cervical strain on his hips, and pain in his right side of his ribs. The other driver was also taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, but did not sustain any injuries. A police report was filed. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to an independent tow yard. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. The failure mileage was 188,760.

Odometer been tampered with and also my car caught on fire the other day
On May 9th I went to pick up my check and I freaking ran over run over a big rock in the street and it it put like a little hole in my oil pan well this is my first car I've had already my second car I haven't had it for that long so what I did was I'm going to try to get home as the oil slowly leaking out but I was going to try to get home and I drive for like for like 3 minutes at like 20 at like 25 miles per hour 30 miles per hour and like probably like three or four minutes from that incident and I stopped before that too to get the money and then I tried to raise home whatever I'm driving and in the key pops out the addition but it always pops out the ignition crazy and s*** but then the car just like like the lights just act like they they just died on me while I was driving he pops out the lights or whatever and then I stayed that day with my car that happened at 5:00 I was trying to patch up the oil coming out and it turned out to be 2:00 when I noticed it was 2:00 and the oil still coming out all this extra s*** I was probably 1:00 and I bought a oil I bought a one thing oil just to keep keep it in there and stuff cuz I thought I lightweight patched up and I end up getting it towed to my house and I'm the person I'm going to make sure it gets fixed before I drive this stuff is 138,000 Miles only had it for like 2 months now would be like three or four months but yeah and put the oil pan on and somebody stole my radio so I don't know they f***** up some stuff in there but I go to turn on like finally turning the car and stuff and then it is giving me a mobilizer warning it it dies out the battery when I was trying to do it excessively but it's like this stuff thing going on the key won't f****** stand in ignition you like pops out every time I turn it all the way over no matter what key it is only got two of the fob and the transponder the door maybe they've been broken into or something so it looks all sketchy can't put a key into the door and p0 513..
Low oil pressures lite comes on blinks goes out when you press down on the peddle to accelerate car replaced oil sending unit still does it has to be electrical problem car 10 years old
Engine stalled. restarted. Cleaned electric control throttle. ran 2 days with no problem except for rough idling (this was happening before first shut down). engine stall, restarted. drove home. Today engine stalled again. two of incidents occurred while stationary and once in motion.

The contact sustained injuries to the neck, knee, and back. Medical attention was provided. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 182,000. *tr *tr
Specific problem: heath ventilation system. The specific problem with all of the chrysler 300 2010 models are the heating (or) interior heating system. Straight to the point. When the motor IS running, whether your are traveling or parked idle (motor running) for about an hour or two, the vehicle would start getting warm and you would feel the heat coming from the arm rest and under the dash board even though you have the heat turned off, and especially in the summer months. Here IS the catch. Say you are traveling on the highway or local streets for two (2) hours, you would feel the arm rest very warm and your feet are warmer than usual. If you lift the arm rest up and stick your hand inside the pocket you would feel the heat coming out of there. You also feel the heat coming from under the dash board by the brake and gas pedals. When traveling and breathing-in the heat you would feel like you are tired and want to sleep, when in fact you don't. This IS happening in all of the above mentioned model, 2010 of chrysler. I first noticed it in 2011 when I got the first vehicle, and then in 2016 when I got a second (2ND) one (chrys. 300 2010) (used). When air traveling I usually rent the same type of vehicle from rental car companies and the same thin IS happening with the heat coming out of the arm rest and the from the dash board (floor). I meant to write about this matter for a while, but only now I am getting to it. In closing, here IS what your agency should do in conducting your own survey. Have your drivers or any employees that has the above make, model and year vehicle, travel in it for two (2) hours, then have them feel the arm rest, they would see how warm it IS. Have them lift up the arm rest and place their hand inside, ask them if it IS hot or warm. Ask them how warm IS their feet there at the brake and gas pedals. You would agree that something IS wrong.
Out of nowhere the hazard light comes on and stays on for long periods of time
The totally integrated power module (tipm) has failed on my vehicle. At first it started as a dead battery which was replaced, then a parasitic draw which could not be diagnosed right away, then caused my started not to have power. The car would turn itself on while it was turned off and make the lights bug out and horn sound. Then it would stop and start again multiple times draining the battery. I was driving between states and I stopped for gas when my car no longer started and was stranded there for hours before it would start again. Its stationary when the car would turn itself on and off.
Electronic throttle control blinking and car has no power. I was on the highway and it would not go when giving it some gas. The pedal was to the floor.
The car would not shut off in park. Wcm was not sending shut off messages to pcm
2010 chrysler 300C. The push button module IS defective causing the key fob not to work properly. I have to push the lock button on the key fob then press it against the push button in order for it to crank. Key fob has new battery, but it still won't crank by just pressing the brake pedal and pushing the start button.
I took my car into the autonation dealership located at 11200 north fwy, service road e, fort worth, tx 76177 for service in mid 2016. While speaking with the service advisor regarding the work being performed on my car. I advised I had received information regarding the recall and asked if they could replace the damaged part since my car was already there. They said they didn't have the part yet but that they would call me once they did. I asked how long it would be until the necessary part (s) to fix the recalled issues. Their response was that they didn't know but that they would notify me when they had the parts. I was told to just continue using my car until the parts arrived. I expressed concern about continuing to drive the car with a faulty air bag especially since my 14 year old often sat in the front passenger seat with my younger son age 2 1/2 sitting directly behind them. I stated I am permanently disabled and sometimes cannot drive so my husband and my care assistant often drove for me thus putting even more people at risk. after not receiving notification from the dealership 2 months later, I called several times, leaving messages yet didn't receive a response. I feel I have been more than understanding and patient. That day I bought my car to the dealership I should have been provided a rental car comparable to my 300 to use until the parts arrived and my car fixed. I have been driving around now for over 15 months in an unsafe vehicle. I would appreciate some assistance please in resolving the issue. our recall should have been managed with providing me a rental car similar to my 300 until the parts arrived and our car fixed. What steps do I need to take to get my car fixed and us a rental? Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated please. I am hearing impaired so communication via email IS best.
I was stop waiting on my turn and my car accelerate on its own, I wasn't able to stop it and hit another vehicle and still was not stopping till I was able to get it neutral..very very scary situation.
TL* takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 chrysler 300. While driving approximately 45 mph approaching a light, the contact had a seizure and crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained injuries to the neck and sternum that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard where it was awaiting inspection by the insurance company and the dealer. The dealer (bill bryan chrysler dodge jeep RAM, 3401 us hwy 441, fruitland park, fl 34731, (352) 702-9103) was contacted and indicated that the vehicle was serviced per nhtsa campaign numbers: 16v352000 (air bags), 15v313000 (air bags), and 09v420000 (wheels). The contact did not know if the recall remedies failed or may have caused the crash. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was not available. *Tt *tr
My chrysler 300 wireless ignition node ( win) exhibiting a binding condition of the solenoid latch. As a result of the defect my key can be removed from the ignition switch (win module) prior to placing in park. I have to use force to put key in ignition and use force to pull key out of ignition. I spoke with a chrysler customer care representative name michelle and she told me that my vehicle does not fall within the build date for this recall even though it has similar traits. Michelle told me that my vehicle was built on december 10, 2009 on the 19TH hour. The recall only applies to vehicles built january 18- march 11, 2010.
Recall on airbag 01-13-2018 @ galeana, columbia sc. while there I had an oil change. after a few weeks, I notice ticking from engine. I checked the oil and it was a quart low, I topped it off with 1 qt. another couple of weeks the ticking started again on 2-25-18 on way to church, it progressively worsen. I stopped and check the oil, it was nearly empty. I topped it off with a 5 qts of full synthetic. drove slowly to church. after leaving church, the noise wosen. I had aaa tow it home. I had it towed to gp autos where the diagnosis was the engine was done and needed replacement. I had it towed to dukes auto in lancaster sc where diagnosis was confirmed; the engine need to be replaced. no one can explained where the oil went. I've called galeana several times, talked to john, service supervisor. the maintenance light never came on, the oil gauge read normal. What's up with this disappearing oil. now my engine IS shot, estimates range from $3200-$8000. has this occurred before? am I the only one with this issue? please help me. I pastor and teach high school math. its a struggle help please. you can call thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6).' *pm

Takata recall #S43 I have never received a recall notice on this at any time and the date today IS november 1, 2017 this IS after notice of takata chapter 11 notice case no. 17-11375 (bls) I received this notice by mail the week of oct. 26,2017
Alternator failed, the vehicle stalled after two jumps
Alternator fails causing engine stalling while driving for vehicles equipped with a 5.7L or 3.6L engine and a 160, 180 or 220 amp alternator, the alternator of the vehicle may fail, resulting in the engine stalling while driving. A failed alternator would also lead to a dead battery, preventing the vehicle from having electrical power to start. The alternator in affected vehicles also could possibly short circuit, causing an engine fire. the car turned off while in the drive position. I was leaving the company parking deck. I received two battery jumps the car turned on and once the jumping cables was removed and the gear switched to the position of drive the car turned off. I also purchased a new battery this year as it happened before earlier this year
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.
