The failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.
The alternator ceased up on me while I was driving on 7/12/2019. This almost caused an accident! I was driving around 55MPH and the steering and brakes completely locked up. I couldn't turn the wheel or stop my car. Eventually I slowed down and barely got the steering wheel to turn so I wasn't stuck right on the highway. My car was towed to a mechanic that replaced the alternator. I later received a recall notice in the mail for the alternator and have been trying to get reimbursed.
Per the local dealer inspection the PDC unit has faulty wiring which caused the fuse to burn severely in turn things begin to randomly stop working no sound from radio, doors will not lock at times, back up camera goes in and out.

I own a 2013 chrysler 300c luxury 5.7l it ran fine as of april 5th 2021. On april 6th 2021 the car suddenly wouldn't start. Cranked forever and would eventually start. Had 0 oil pressure but just had an oil change a few hundred miles before. Codes were presented on the odb2 scanner tool. The car itself said something about a short or something. Tried everything I could to fix it and nothing worked. Eventually all the screens and gauges begin to seize out and the car dies. Won't even start. Battery was also checked and fine.
Hands free module quit working, common problem with dodge/chrysler, AC will not recirculate causes only outside air to be drawn into the cab, cause is malfunctioning/bad humidity sensor about the resr view mirror, driver heated seat quit working, left headlight quit working, bad hid ballast. The gas and brake pedal assembly will retract on it's own while driving. The transmission w5a580-nag1-722.6 either shift extremely hard 3-4 4-5 or slips in between the gears causing the engine rpms to go way up and then either falls back into gear or causes a neutral and will not go back into gear until you either drop below 18 MPH or completely stop and either put the car in park and back into drive or shut the engine off for about 10 seconds and start it back up. After the flare between gears it is stuck in 3rd gear or limp mode with a check engine light dtc read p0730 through p0735. Literally have to carry a diagnostic scan tool with me to clear the codes. Its extremely dangerous and always happens in the worst places like getting on the interstate or on busy city streets almost causes an accident because you have no choice but to pull over and stop no matter where you are or the conditions around you... These are all very common issues with this car, it would be nice if chrysler would make it right...
The hands free module malfunctioned and no longer pairs with my phone. After looking into solutions online I found many forums where several people have had the same issue.
As I was driving, all the warning lights came on. I pulled over placed the car in park, but the car was stuck in the run position but was not running. I disconnected the battery via the negative terminal and proceeded to reconnect it. I have power to the exterior and interior lights gas and trunk door, but nothing as far as cluster panel or starter button. I placed the car in neutral and pulled it home, the dash and radio came on, I assume due to the wheels turning bringing power through the alternator. After some thorough research, I found that there was a faulty alternator on these cars for recall.
I replace the battery cuz it seem that it wagong bad dint want to start the car and after running it for a few minutes whit a new battery it did the same the remote start was working then it just stop my reverse camara also stop working my radio shuts down when I turn the steering wheel and it drains on the battery fast
