I have a serious problem with headlights: at night 1. Low beam headlights are so weak 2. High beam does not add much to the already weak dimmed low beam. 3. Chrysler should recall these headlights for safety concerns.

At 7:30 pm on the fdr drive approaching exit 17 at about 45 MPH. My chrysler 300 went completely dead while driving with my children in the car. No warning the car just came to abrupt stop sliding for about 10 feet before fully stopping. The engine went dead the light went off I couldn't steer nothing on the car works, never seen anything like that in my life. Thank god it was still bright out so I can and other driver was able to see me to avoid hitting the car otherwise we could of been dead or a very nasty accident. The nypd came ask what happen they said it's the alternator I used a jumper I had in the back to jump it it started I exit the highway it stop dead again no warning on 125 st. The officers activated the shift lock and help me push it to the side of the road. Where I paid $217 to have it towed to brooklyn. Called star chrysler sunday explaining what happen they said their service dept closed sunday. Called back 7 am monday, they won't even come tow or send a tow truck. Miss terry telling me it's my responsibility to have the car towed to them. I paid another $190 to tow the car from brooklyn to queens village ny. Got there they insist I leave the car and go home don't even want to say why the car almost killed me and my kids. Tuesday 7 am I called for an update miss terry said we didn't get to look at it yesterday we'll try to get it in today, is she kidding me. That so irresponsibly

Taillights stopped working. No breaklights and not turn signals. Dealership has no idea for the failure. There are several units with this problem. This is a safety issue and a state traffic violation.

I have a 2013 chrysler 300s. While driving at a speed around 45 MPH in city driving, car stalled in the middle of an intersection while turning left at front of oncoming traffic. Seconds later the car shut off completely leaving me with no or little control over steering. The radio turned off, lights in car started flashing on and off, screens on the dash turned white, and all error lights on dash turned on. Burning electrical/rubber smell filled the car. All issues identical to the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v634000. I checked my VIN to see if my car would be covered but it was not included in the recall. Upon further research there has been numerous complaints on exact models of my car that were also not covered. I am very thankful my car was able to get out of the way of oncoming traffic before another vehicle hit us because my kids or myself probably would have been seriously injured or even worst, killed. Once car came to a complete stop, I tried restarting the vehicle. The car would try to start but the engine would not even be able to turn over. All lights and switches inside the car were not working properly. Lights turning on and off, heater was blowing when we had it set to AC, pushing on the break would turn off all lights in the car, etc. I hope with all the multiple complaint, and potential to cause serious injury, they will consider recalling the additional models of alternators they are clearly having the same defects.

The headlights on this model are the worst I have ever seen. Forward vision is severely limited and side vision is practically non-existent. The only incident I have had so far is impact with a raccoon that damaged the front fascia but the raccoon could just as easily have been a person or larger animal. Chrysler needs to address this issue promptly before there is a fatal accident.

High and low beams suck.

Filed Aug 11, 2014 · Lights · MA

Headlights are nearly useless. Car cannot be driven safely at night. Dealer states headlights are aligned and working normally. State vehicle inspenction stated headlights aimed ok. This is a known problem and needs to be addressed before a pedestrian is hit or someone drives off the road. It is unsafe to dirve on interstate at night over 40 MPH because you overdrive your headlights. If there is no one to follow you are out of luck. One must drive side roads with hi beams on all the time. Headlights aim is computer controlled and cannot be adjusted. Turning off the capability of the headlights to move side to side with steering does not help. My 2006 chrylser 300 did not have this problem and our 2102 dodge charger does not have this problem. I will gladly submit vehicle to nstsa for inspection/test.
