2014 Chrysler 300: won't start

Filed May 14, 2024 · UT

I recently purchased this vehicle used with roughly 50,000k miles and drove it for three weeks with no issue. Suddenly, one morning, the motor would not start when pushing the Start Button. Instead the Start button became locked in the Run position but the engine did not engage. I removed my foot from the brake, pushed Start again and it would not return to the Off position. I opened the door thinking maybe it would reset this problem..... the entire dash Icons, headlights, Nav screen, tachometer, and speedometer start flashing and the windshield wipers are going, while stuck in in the off position. A very low pulsating sound is emanating from the engine compartment. I ran to the trunk to disconnect the battery, with the key fob in my pocket, but the button on lid does not open the lid. I run back to the dash and push the trunk release but received no result. I pulled the rear seats down crawled into the trunk and pulled the emergency trunk release and was finally able to open it. Instead of disconnecting the battery, I attempted to jump it with another vehicle. The vehicle was still in the Run position and all of the other components were continuing to malfunction as stated above. The vehicle "started" and began emmiting exhaust but I still had no response in the gas peddle. I then attempted to turn the vehicle to the off position, which worked only after jumping the vehicle and emitting the exhaust. Once the vehicle was shut off I attempted to restart the vehicle as usually and it worked no problem. It has started and ran fine for 2 days but I am extremely concerned about my safety in driving this vehicle due to reading other consumer experiences with a malfunctioning TIPM in this model and year of vehicle.

I was told that the chrysler 300, 2014, was under recall, but I was never notified of the recall, I assume, since the car was under a lease agreement. The problem I experienced one day was the the car would not start and the car had to be towed. During the towing, the car was damaged in the front end and now rattles on the left front when the car hits a bump in the road. This car needs to be inspected and the damage repaired since the damage affects the performance of the car. In addition, the original problem caused the car to be scratched in several places and cost me a great deal of time and money. Please contact me so these problems may be resolved by the dealer that handled the repair, which was hayes chrysler.

As you probably know, not only chrysler vans are affected, the entire product line including dodge and chrysler cars, vans and SUV's. Also jeep. I have a 2014 chrysler 300 s purchased dec 2014. The tipm failed 1 month later in jan 2015, while driving on an expressway the car lost power. I was fortunate I was not rear ended. The dealer did nothing and never mentioned anything about the tipm , they did a software update for the TCM then sent me on my way. It failed again in feb 2015 the car would not start, and all instrument cluster icons flashed and start button would not return to off detent, a low pulsating sound audible in engine compartment, wipers moving slowly with switch in off position the only charged the battery had 27 error codes, no mention of the tipm. In march 2015 lost navigation and phone paring. At that time they tried to duplicate the problem and kept my car for 18 days. Again they sent me on my way and never would admit the tipm is at fault. I also have payments each month, and am terrified to drive the car even for local errands. Chrysler resolution has my report and assigned a case number for this issue in feb 2015. They asked to allow one more repair [the 18 days they had it] and would then make a decision for a refund or replacement. This past wednesday mar 9, I received a call from chrysler resolution and the told me they will do nothing ! Chrysler has sunk to the lowest possible level of customer service. They have more regard for profit than they do for safety. My vehicle is unsafe to drive.
