2008 Chrysler 300: won't start

Filed Dec 8, 2025 · Engine, Fuel system · NC

I informed the dealership of ignition switch recall shortly after purchasing vehicle. The dealership stated " the VIN number shows no recalls". And that was it said there nothing showing up. I KNOW ignition switch is messed up because every time I would turn the car off I could still feel it running. I've had my car a year and now it will not crank due to ignition switch and now fuel air intake is also messing up and has caused cylinder 6 to miss fire. I have been without a vehicle for a month now and I need it fixed. When test driving the car, it would slow down as I was turning into a place of business and almost getting hit by another vehicle.

The dealer changed the ignition switch per the recall 14v567000 for the vehicle about 2-3 years ago for a different issue with the switch. My daughter was driving the car about week ago july 30, 2020, she said she was at a traffic light on a busy street (lincoln highway) in chicago heights il and when it turn green she attempted to go and the vehicle cutoff and would not start back up. I arrived to her location. Another driver had pushed her into a parking lot to get her out of the middle of the highway, I tried to start the car and it would not catch. It would crank put not turn over, I had to get it towed home. After some testing of components, spark, gas pressure and fuel pump it was diagnosed with a bad ignition switch with a p2533 code that stated there was a problem with the ignition switch run position signal. This is a very troubling event since my recently turn 18 daughter has no experience with this sort of thing and thankfully there was no accident or physical harm done. I spoken with a person at a chrylser dealership service department about manufacturer coverage but she did not have a clue and transferred my call to the parts department that stated it might run $800- 1,000.00 to replace the switch.

I bought this vehicle, thinking it was great. I tried driving it home, and never made it. I lost all power on the highway in front of the semi. In return I did not have brakes, I didn't have steering, all lights turned off, and to top it off it wouldn't start again. I've replaced the PCM, starter, alternator, the power distribution, all the fuses/relays, and here I am still spending hundreds of dollars to try to get my vehicle to work again, and it's not seeming possible. I have 2 kids and now once I get it started I must worry if it'll happen again. The car only has 120,000 miles on it. It's been very well kept. And now I've bought all these parts and paid all this money to have it repaired. And now I'm out of my other vehicle, and with the corona virus I am out of work, and have no way to keep spending money to fix it or find out the problem. The electric light was on I replaced throttle and sensor as well. That didn't fix it neither.

Last year p57 recall was performed on my vehicle now they told me that the tipm module is going bad I believe that that was replaced or should have been replaced when the recall p57 was performed I don't know why they would not replace it now I'm being told that I have to pay $1691 for parts and labor there is a class action lawsuit against chrysler this is a real problem for some reason they have not put in a recall and the recall p57 did not fix the problem it is very unsafe the car stalls out in the middle of driving sometimes it will not start at all it is obviously an ongoing issue since 2007 but for some reason chrysler refuses to issue a recall this is the third recall that I have had to get done on this vehicle in a year the s43 was never sent to me the only way I found out about that recall is when I call chrysler about my car stalling and not starting at all I need someone to look into it I don't see why I should have to pay for a faulty product that is in millions of vehicles by the chrysler dodge and jeep brand

I have had a problem with my chrysler 300, 2008 model with my engine shutting off completely while driving. Since 2012, it has happened twice on the freeway, once at a stop light, and at least 8 or 9 times where it refuses to start the car. I took it in to my chrysler dealership where I bought the car brand new (80 miles, coming in from orlando, I was told) in 2008. They informed me that the problem was the tipm (totally integrated power module), and I had to pay $597 for the repair. When my car shut off all by itself int he middle of the freeway, I had oncoming traffic, and had to make a quick swerve onto the side of the freeway (shoulder) as quickly as I could while the tires were still moving in order to stay safe. That was simply dangerous and would hate to see others who perhaps may have children in their car go through the same experience. The chrysler dealership stated:"tipm internal failure causing intem no start and delay when start 2.00" this is definitely a safety issue that has not been addressed, and evidently, there are forums on the web, as well as many articles and user comments on the same issue. Kindly address this safety issue with urgency before someone is harmed. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
