Car will not start when ignition switch is turned on. The alarm that indicates door is open still works but the car will not operate any other electrical functions like the windows, radio, lights, etc. I contacted chrysler and was told that no recall existed for the vehicle. However, I think this is a problem other consumers have also experienced and would like to see this matter investigated and resolved, if possible.
My wife went to santa rose to visit her sister, parked the car in drive way later that day went to go out again the car would not start. Called aaa to help out the man could not find the problem. I had to rent a trailer to bring it home 50+ miles away from where we live. My mechanic found that the ignition was dead but the batter was charged. His test brought him to look at the (win and the (PCM )as being the issue at hand. We have grand children and she looks after then, this could have been a more serious problem then just a pain in the [xxx].

I own a 2009 chrysler 300c is exhibiting the following circumstances. Stall is leading to unnecessary endangerment of my and other highway users' survivability. This automatically raises the risk of death for consumers utilizing the roadways be it two lane or multi- lanes, city or rural roads. My 2009 chrysler 300c is supposed to be a high performance vehicle and these deficiencies only add insult to injury. I do not believe the excuse of "we don't know" will satisfy the family of a loved one lost in a vehicle accident. I request a fail-safe protection when the following defects exist, I.e. Stall, sudden shutdown, loss of power, and in traffic appears out of the ordinary. Chrysler is explicably compounds this stall safety problem by not providing the most efficient mechanical expertise available and swiftly correct this safety issue as an issue to consumers for satisfactory of this safety hazard. I have performed the initial risk assessments and potential hazards that may arise during the execution of mechanical malfunctions of my 2009 chrysler 300c. The ignition is either loose and not communication with the other components to properly operate the vehicles and continue to shut off, stall, stop, etc. Etc. Etc. This empirical evidence points in the opposite direction of safety and further more compound this problem. There is a need and explanation given for these destructive mechanical malfunctions. I do not want a death, crash, injury, or fire.
Truck moved into my lane, tried to honk horn(s) but failed to work. Once in a quiet place, discovered horn makes a very faint noise but no honk and no volume from either horn. The fact that it makes a faint noise means it is getting electric signal but failing to work as it should. Extremely dangerous, put my life in danger and now won't pass inspection. Horn not working with engine off is also dangerous in parking situations.

I own a 2009 chrysler 300c, which has been having consistent problems with the engine shutting off while driving down the busy highway. The vehicle is stalling, quitting, not starting on the first try, fail to keep running once started, or completely stop on its own recognizance. I feel unprotected because my vehicle automatic shut off and could cause death or serious injury. The performance of this vehicle and its equipment is leading me into unreasonable anxiety for my safety due to the sudden stopping in heavy traffic, leading to no steering power, no electric signals, and grave possibility of death. This vehicle is only five (5) years of age and should not be showing signs of inefficiency.
My chrysler 300 keeps loosing power. While driving on the highway at 65 MPH the vehicle decides to lose its electrical power and the engine completely turned off. There was no braking power, the steering had no play but I was able to maneuver off to the left side of the road in medium traffic. I believe the keyless ignition system has a horrific defect. It is losing contact. The double sided integrated key, I believe, is losing contact with the integral ignition switch which also contributes to inconsistent starting procedure.
When driving down the street, my car cuts off without any notice. I can place it in neutral and immediately start it back up.

Got in car to drive, driver seat warm (thought due to parked in phoenix sun). But within 10 minutes unbearable heat driver seat, needed 2 pads to protect. Seat heater was off, no light, but I toggled switch to see if help, it did not. Car parked at work 15 minutes after starting journey. 2 1/2 hrs later person in parking lot noted smoke coming from inside car, called fire department. They noted inside full of smoke and glow under driver seat. Opened door to extinguish fire and car burst into flames ala the movie backdraft. Entire interior melted.
Purchased a 2009 chrysler 300 in february and attempted several times to blow my horn when the car was not on. I was park with the car motor off & tried to get the attention of another motor vehicle driver that was backing up and it appeared that they did not see my car - and the horn did not blow! I took the car back to the dealership & the representative who was great in trying to get an answer for me. She open up a case for me with you all. I do not want a car with the horn disabled when the motor is not running. I need this corrected asap!!
