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...

My chrysler 300 lx stated have transmission problems and I went to a chrysler after I had it look at, at a mechanic shop, because the check engine light came own. , all they did was hook up the car for a diagnostic test, the print out read something to do with power tran modual. They said take it to chrysler, so I did. Chrysler said the computer locked up the codes, so they can not get a reading of the problem.

Driving on the highway at appx 30-40 MPH and car started smelling like burned plastic and smoke, started making a high pitched humming sound, the traction control light and the engine light and the ABS brake lights all came on as my car was slowing down, opened the hood and there was smoke coming from the engine, car would not turn back on, no electric worked, battery is destroyed, car VIN is not listed under the current recall even though I am finding the same complaint from others with my same car. Also, my car was just worked on there at the dealer last week for an electrical issue and the problem was not discovered at that time, dealer is not being very helpful, this is very dangerous to be in the car with my kids and my car starts smoking! - I have video of it happening from last night that will not upload here, please contact me! Very dangerous!

Driving on the highway at appx 30-40 MPH and car started smelling like smoke, started making a high pitched humming sound, the ABS brake light, the traction control light and the check engine light all came on and the smoke got worse, scared it may have been a fire under my hood. I checked all of the recalls and my car does not fall under any of them although I saw many of the same complaints here on the site. This is very dangerous, especially having children in the car. My car is now at the dealer and was there just last week for another electrical problem. I will continue to check the site since this is obviously a defect from the manufacturer. Please contat me with any info as this is very dangerous!

My engine light has turned on and the reading says it's cylinder #2 misfire. It came out of no where and from what I've seen and heard it is a common issue. My car is basically brand new and very well taken care of but it has needed every recall and for some reason something this serious and common is not covered. It shakes while it idles it's not running great and this could bring on many more problems.
