2013 Chrysler 300 acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Attempt was made to accelerate from 65 MPH, to pass another vehicle. The accelerator was depressed and the engine immediately slowed, resulting in the vehicle's speed being reduced and causing potential harm from approaching vehicular traffic. There was no way to resume speed until several seconds passed and a slow acceleration was then possible.
While driving, the car's gas pedal becomes unresponsive. You can not accelerate. In multiple incidences, I have been nearly hit on the freeway due to my abrupt loss of acceleration. The car was taken to the dealership where they had the car for 2 days and informed me that the car was fine. In the final incident, I was going 75 in heavy traffic when the car began to lose speed. I could not accelerate or get the car to go. The car's check engine light came on, and the car had to be towed 70 miles to my home because it is unsafe to drive. It has been 5 days and still have not heard from chrysler.
