In 2018, the cruise control on my 2012 chrysler 300 limited was acting intermittent. I would press the button it would work and sometimes not. I brought it in to my hemet ca. Chrysler dealership and they replaced the cc switch. Now, 2 yrs. Latter it's happening again...I tried it a few times while on the highway/in-city and it didn't work. Later on our way home, I tried it again and it worked. I'm still under warranty, but it costs me $100 every time I bring the car in for a warranty repair; hopefully when I bring it in this time, for the same problem that they were supposed to fix, they won't charge me...r/john...

On march 12, 2017 I was driving chrysler 2012 300 vehicle on a busy highway,the vehicle then went into battery power save mode, without warning the vehicle stalled and the breaks locked on me, the car did not let me stop and I was on a busy street route 30 in merrillville, in with my 2 year old daughter in the back seat, the vehicle rolled at approximately 20 MPH for 15 feet and made an abrupt stop, after wards I was unable to turn on vehicle and was left stranded on busy street, luckily their were no cars in front of me at the time or it could of been worse, after doing research I called chrysler and asked if this could of been due to faulty alternator and mentioned recall p61 and was told the recall was for a 160 amp and mine was 180 amp, the cause of this situation was clearly due to a recall on a recall of a different chrysler model and should be looked into immediately, I have always been a customer of chrysler and my reasoning behind buying chrysler is because of their wonderful safety features, and feeling secure while driving my 2 young children,it is unfair and after this I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle . Their needs to be immediate action taken to avoid injury or possible death.

Has started visiting a friend in the hospital comma park the car in a parking garage and engage the parking brake. The car was stationary not moving and when I return and disengage the parking brake I noticed my ABS and traction control lights are on. I have another issue which I discovered today may 19th 2016 is that when entering the vehicle and starting it everything was normal as I progressed down the road I noticed something a little off and it not wanting to accelerate the RPM seem to be a little jumpy and I check the oil pressure which was really high I turned around immediately and parked the car back at my house. The oil pressure would jump maybe 30 to 40 psi but only reaching 20 miles an hour. I am unaware of what is causing these issues and only discovered it as I was making a turn out of my driveway. I am also unsure of the date that the ABS and traction control lights came on but I can say it was before the events on may 19th 2016. My vehicle was purchased february 14th of last year.

While on highway, my radio turned off and vehicle went into battery saving mode. As I proceeded to exit the highway, the interior and exterior lights started to flicker. I went to autozone and the car barely made it there. The car smelled like if something was burning under the hood. One of the attendants checked my battery and said the battery was drained, I had them recharge it. I had to get the car towed since the car was inoperable. I picked up the battery this morning and turned the car on, and all the electrical system started to flicker so I just turned of the car. I read in to the vehicles recalls and I noticed that recall #p6o is exactly what my car was doing last night. I called chrysler today and they refuse to fix it due to my car not being affected by this recall but it obviously has been. Is there anything that I can do to make my car part of this recall? If so what steps can I take to make this happen? This is a safety issue that could of caused an accident and or multiple accidents since I was on the highway when this issue started, if not for my quick thinking the car could of stalled in the middle of the highway. I should also mention that while the electrical system began to fail it was extremely difficult to brake. On another note, the air bag light turns on and off all the time. I am afraid if we have an accident that the air bags won't deploy.

I have experienced my electronic stability control indicator light come on and the malfunctioning indicator light both come . The vehicle loses speed and will not go in park or shut off . The fuses in the fuse box become extremely hot . Had diagnostic done and was told it was the rear speed wheel speed sensor . Part was replaced and vehicle is doing the same thing .
