Driving on garden state parkway, suddenly a bang from car, no power transmitted to wheels, had to coast over to right shoulder, in traffic, warning light came on after car stopped, never before, "service awd system". Car only has 62,400 miles, no prior warnings. Had to be towed off highway,vehicle inoperable pending repair. I found information online about failure of bolts on driveshaft of awd system, and a recall by fca USA of 75,000 2014-2017 chrysler 300's and dodge chargers in february of 2017. I checked for recalls on my vehicle 0n 1/16/21, and there are no open recalls.

There is a recall on this car but chrysler will not cover repairs be cause it was in an accident car is in very good condition. It is a rebuilt salvage and the registration is in ct. I think they are responsible for repairs because air bag was never deployed on pass side. Far right front and undercarriage on lncident report only. Also control modules for cruise control will not allow you to turn it off short circuit in vehicle wiring . If a rebuilt salvage can be sold to me by a dealer that is unsafe why can't chrysler stand behind there recalls. Oh the car is in very good condition an I love it. Can you help me please.

Car was in motion when the gear shifted from drive to stop causing the car to come to an abrupt stop. The wiper blades came on by themselves, the gear shift indicators began blinking off and on, the transmission monitor began stating that do not turn the car off, then began flashing: proceed to destination , turn car off to turn to start car, check engine light began flashing and the power steering indicator began flashing on .after about twenty minutes I was able to get the shift indicator to shift into gear so that I could get the car out of the street.

I purchased my 2014 chrysler 300c brand new from a chrysler dodge and jeep certified dealership. Since the first day I purchased the vehicle I have been having problems. First started with the rear window shade malfunctioning while driving and front driver seat would not move forward or reverse the same day I bought the car, dealer said they would fix. Took more than two trips to dealer to get the problem resolved. Next at around 6000 miles I had cylinders misfire while driving, took me more than 3 trips to different dealers to get problem resolved. They did not tell me what caused the problem, just fixed it. About a month later I had alot of smoke and burnt smell coming from my engin while driving, dealer said a gasket was missing. I had air coming through driver front and rear doors. Took the car to dealer to get fixed, supposibly they fixed the problem but to this date I'm having the same problem with air coming through doors as I'm driving, now the worse problems are happening.on mid 2016 the rack and pinion gave out. On september of 2016 all my electrical system started to go haywire, windshield wipers on and off by themselves, gauges going up and down, transmission shifting by itself, lights on and off etc, this happend while driving on city streets, we pulled over turned off the car, turned it back on steering wheel was very hard to turn. Took to dealer. They said it was power steering pump. So they replaced. About a month later my wife was driving and the car accelerated to hi rate of speed by itself. After she gained control she drove home. Now 2 days ago we had the same electrical haywire malfunction, this time as all other electrical things that happened as last time the car accelerated by itself, we pulled over to gas station, tried to turn on and car was dead, had check engine light and etc light on.this car has become very dangerous for my family.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chrysler 300. Upon coming to a complete stop with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle surged forward several times without warning. The contact had to apply force to the brake pedal and, in some instances, both feet were applied to the brake pedal to prevent the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer more than once and they were not able to replicate and diagnose the failure. The vehicle was parked at the contact's residence due to the fact that the failure could recur without warning. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chrysler 300. The contact stated that the cruise control function failed to work when applied. As the failure progressed, the cruise control activated without warning and the contact had difficulty shutting it off. The warning lamps also illuminated for the ABS and stability traction control.

The contact shut the vehicle off and back on, but the warning lamps continued to flash intermittently.

The vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v634000 (electrical system) and was waiting beyond a reasonable timeframe for the part to schedule the recall repair.
