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...

What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chrysler 300. The contact stated while driving on cruise control at 70 MPH, the vehicle shifted into limp mode. The vehicle was shifted from automatic to manual mode however, the vehicle independently accelerated to 80 MPH with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure recurred three times. The vehicle was taken to new carlisle chrysler jeep dodge ram - tobey auto group located at (580 n main st, new carlisle, oh 45344) to be diagnosed. The diagnosis was that the torque converter was dirty and that a fault code was not retrieved. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 41,000.
My 18 year old son was driving the car at about 40-50 miles an hour on a very busy street in bellevue washington, a city he's not familiar with when the car suddenly shifted into park and would no longer accelerate. He had to think quickly and by the grace of god he was able to momentarily get the car in drive and pull over into a driveway. Once stopped the car would not shift into any other gear, it would revert back to park regardless of what gear you shifted it into. We tried to shift it into drive and it reverted back to park. This is the second very serious situation I've had with this car. The fuse happens over a year ago when the car just stopped running in the middle of driving. I almost got hit by a bus but luckily I was also able to think quick nd turn into a urgent care parking lot. It was a faulty alternator that was a part of a recall. I am very scared to drive this car and do not want my so. To ever drive it. It's supposed to be a second car for him to drive but its unsafe. I want chrysler to pay me out of my loan as I never want to drive this car again and I still owe $15,000 on this car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chrysler 300. While driving 45 MPH, the warning lights illuminated and kept blinking. The vehicle completely shut down in the middle of the highway. The vehicle would not shift into neutral and was towed to the contact's residence. The contact notified the manufacturer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000.
The ABS and transaction light came on. Called a local dealer who said bring in for service. Three miles up the highway the car suffered a total system failure. The vehicle would not go into park or any gear. The towing company had problems flat bedding the car to my dealer route 18 chrysler in east brunswick nj. Upon repair the dealer indicated that left driver side ABS system failed. The onboard computers stored dttc codes both for the transmission and ABS systems. No one knows why the transmission failed to allow the car to be driven. There is a major safety flaw in this vehicle that is going to result in a fatal crash. I am lucky to be alive. Chrysler was notified of this problem by me. Updated 9/25/15 *ln updated 12/28/2015
