I was on the 215 freeway in heavy traffic when all of a sudden my car lost power-icoasted dangerouly to the side of the freeway, a warning light "electronic throttle control" came on. After awhile it went off. As soon as I got back on the freeway it happened again.the second time I almost got hit by several other vehicles. after awhile the warning light went off and I resumed driving.i took my car to the chrysler dealer in temecula ca and after inspection they said it was my fault because I hit the accelerator while my foot was still on the brake or vice-versa. And so they charged me $183 to tell me that. this has never happened with any car I have driven. The dealer says its an issue with the newer 300 models. No warning anywhere in manual or car. this IS a life-threating issue that must be addressed and chrysler motors IS ignoring it. please do something about this serious issue. A recall must be made before someone IS killled!

Backup camera flickers and shows a mirror flip image of what exactly IS there. it IS no longer a reliable safety accessory. many owners in different chrysler car groups report complete failure and issues with their backup cameras. this IS a constant problem.

When in park my vehicle rolled backwards to the bottom of my driveway. I was able to make it happen multiple times. I was able to have my wife record it on video from both sides of the vehicle. It happened when parking partially on ice. The passenger rear tire turned against the roll of the vehicle. All 3 other tires rolled with the vehicle. My vehicle has the hemi 5.7L, 5 spd transmission, AWD, and my shifter IS not the dial type but a regular shifter type. IS the passenger rear tire the only one that keeps the vehicle from rolling rearward while in park? I can provide the video evidence.

When adjusting the pedals while driving on the road, using the switch mounted on the drivers seat, the pedals went down toward the floor and the engine's rpm increased. I didn't notice what was happening at first and then the engines rpm increased and the vehicle speed jumped to 75 mph. I tried baking and the car slowed down to 45 mph. Since I was in a 35 mph zone and was approaching a car ahead of me I put the car in neutral and the engine rpm increased very high. I can't say how high it went as I was busy trying to figure out what went wrong and what to do about it. I turned into a parking lot and shut the engine off. I started the car again and the engine rpm shot up over 6000. Knowing that the only thing I did was adjust the pedals I pushed the switch in the other direction and raised the pedals. The rpm went back to normal idle speed. I pushed the switch to lower the pedals and the engine rpm picked up again as the pedals went down so I raised the pedals up again until the rpm returned to idle speed. The car continues to do this. I believe this IS a very dangerous situation as since there was no warning this could happen when adjusting the pedals and it could under rare circumstances be triggered if some object was in between the switch and the floor when the seat IS moved rearward. There was no accident and no one was injured.

TL* the contact owns a 2014 chrysler 300C. While reversing, the vehicle independently shifted into park without warning. On another occasion, while the vehicle was at a complete stop, the vehicle independently shifted into park when the accelerator pedal was depressed. As a result, the vehicle jerked violently and stalled without warning. The vehicle was unable to restart. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (grogan's towne chrysler jeep dodge RAM located at 6100 telegraph rd toledo, ohio 43612) more than twice, but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent out engineers who could not duplicate the failure and determined that the vehicle was fine. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

- 10221558Sun Sensor Multi zone Auto Climate Control systems. Left and right outlet temperatures do not match when system is in "sync" . Occupants will experience being cold ( winter time), on either passenger or driver side, even though the temperature setting is the same. Root cause: Suspect sun senors ( PN 55111274AA and 55111275AA). THERE WILL BE NO DTC FOR THE SUN SENSOR active or stored. The issue is diagnosed by using an INCANDESCENT (not LED) shop lamp. Shine the shop lamp on the left side of the sensor, then on the right side of the sensor, while monitoring sensor output with STARSCAN. The reading should change from 0 (or near zero) to about 20 to 40. The important thing is that the left and right readings are the same, and that they change when the lamp is shone on it.

- 10221097Transmission Kit with Torque Converter 1. All Promaster (VF) 3.6L/62TE equipped vehicles. If the transmission bracket to the transmission case fasteners are removed during servicing, the fasteners (Part Number 06511385A$) are one-time usage. Vehicles built prior to 10/23/2015 requires Service Kit PN 68461214AA; includes Transmission Isolator PN 68264483AA, and Adaptation Bracket 68264479AA and Fastener Service Kit PN 68329056AA Vehicles built after on or after 10/23/2015 will require only the Fastener Service Kit PN 68329056AA. 2. All 3.6L/62TE equipped vehicles. If the vehicle you are repairing has a crack in the flex plate or failed pump bushing inspect and confirm that both (2) dowel pins are present in the engine block, which align the transmission center line to the crank shaft centerline and visually inspect the dowel alignment holes in the transmission case. If the holes are damaged or elongated the transmission should be replaced to prevent further damage to the transmission/flexplate or pump bushing due to the inability to properly align the engine to the transmission during the repair. 3. All 62TE equipped vehicles. If pump bushing is scored or damaged and the dowel pin alignment holes are ok, replace the pump assembly as opposed to complete transmission. 4. All 62TE equipped vehicles. If vehicle is jerking/slipping with MIL code(s) P0740 or P2764, check TCC Solenoid operation. If TCC Solenoid is ok, the codes are indicative of a torque converter failure. Replace the torque converter.
