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.
2014 Chrysler 300 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 70, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I pulled into my driveway at home and placed the vehicle in park. At the time I placed it in park a reading came on the dash that said 'service trans press brake when stopped key off engine to engage park'. From what I could see the vehicle was already in park. As I tried to place the vehicle into drive it would go directly back into park as soon as I got off the brake pedal.
I have a 2014 chrysler 300 base, with awd. I have 73,000 miles on the car. I've always had the service kept up. So, I was have a rough noise as I would go over 50 MPH and it would be like a growling noise. It sounded like a front wheel bearing. I took the car into the dealer and they said it was the front right wheel bearing. The warranty had ended at 70,000 miles for the drivetrain and so I put it on myself. I put a brand new hub on and still had the noise. I took the car into another garage and they thought it was the rear drive line. They replaced it and still making the noise. So, they then said it was the front drive line. I had them do it and finally. This was the fix. I looked online and watched videos and was never anything saying a drive line. I just feel that it's so unfortunate that at 3,000 miles over and I'm stuck paying over a thousand dollars, to replace a part of the drivetrain. What I worry about, is that both axles were actually no good. It's just the one was making the noise. What if I kept driving and one locked up. That's scary and could become life threatening. I truly hope you can review my message and find out why this happened and is a possible recall. I would hate for them to freeze up on someone and ends up injuring or worse, fatally injuring someone or even an entire family. Thank you!
Manufacturers have notified me by mailers. Dealerships have failed to notify me. When I have contacted them, they never have parts in stock.
8/30 put the car in park and stepped out. The car goes rolling backwards down the street with my daughter in it screaming bloody murder. Luckily my driver door was open. It caught my neighbors car and jarred my door backwards forcing the car to veer to the left avoiding a street where cars fly up and down frequently. (savannah was feet away from either going into traffic or into the back of someone's house. We are extremely lucky nothing happened other than damages to a couple of vehicles). My car door doesn't shut properly and is unsafe to drive. I find out this is the same shifter that has allegedly been tied to a famous man's death and hundreds of other accidents. Verified with fca my car was defected.
Based on "the federal safety agency" proof report attached below regarding this issue. ( safety recall n65 / the federal safety agency 13v‑610 transmission output shaft ) it was happened to me 100% but still not updated my vehicle manufacturing date in that document. Recently the local dealer charge me the full cost of valve body transmission without any convincing reason.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chrysler 300. While the vehicle was in park, the shifter erroneously changed to the drive position. The vehicle was taken to rancho chrysler jeep (8010 balboa ave, san diego, ca) and the software was updated per the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v240000 (power train), but the failures recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 90,000. *tt
1. While driving at normal speeds my car seems to struggle shifting into gear. It also makes clunking sounds going up hill. Today I accelerated to get onto the highway and the vehicle made a loud noise for a few seconds and finally got up to speed. 2. My vehicle also has a factory rust proofing and the quarter panels are showing large spots of rust on the front and rear of the vehicle.
Drive shaft is loose and is banging in car. Dealer had been unable to find problem and tells the clunking noise is unknown. I toke it to outside mecaniac and he says I joints have play but chrysler donot make ujoints for the car in return you must buy the entire drive shaft I believe the drive shaft has been ruined because something is loose like the bolts but the dealer says it's not under the recall.
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 took my vehicle into the dealership for a recall months ago and it still isn't fixed. It states in the recall letter it should take about two hours to complete. It's even been transferred to another dealership to try to be fixed. I've been given loaner cars that do not meet the standards of my current vehicle by model or by dependability. I wish to clear up this matter as quickly as possible now. I have a family and other responsibilities to tend to. This has been a very stressful, traumatic experience and I need assistance in clearing this matter up once and for all please.
After shifter recall for park function installed: 4 days after install,while backing up from a parking space, car slammed into park violently, could not pull forward or backward without car slamming into park. Dealer could find no problem. 10 weeks later while slowing down at a four way stop intersection, car jerked. When I started into the intersection, screen on dash said transmission service needed,do not put car in n or p, or turn off car, continue to your...traction light and engine light came on. My car would not shift or move. People were swerving and hitting their brakes to avoid a collision with me. Trying to give car gas, and it going into park, finally got to curb. Called dealer, told to turn off car. It went to acc mode and shut off. Tow truck driver could not get car started, he used manual override to load car. Dealer did not diagnose car for 7 days, then said it was dead battery, could not find any problems. Picked up car, drove 37 miles, slowed down to merge onto a county highway, car jerked, and same message came up, same lights came on. Managed to pull off road. Turned off car. It stayed in run mode would not restart. Called dealer, had car towed. When car got to dealer, it started up ,they drove it three blocks, said no problem, no code shown. Dealer says it is not the recall fix, I refused to pickup car, afraid to drive it. Told dealer take a 40 mile drive then around town. No word yet

I purchased this chrysler 300 in 2014 and paid cash 25,000 and only have 17,000 because I fear for my life to drive it. On several occasion my vehicle has stopped while in motion without warning and the gear slips from drive to park. While exiting my vehicle after I have parked my car slips into drive causing me to stumble. On two separate occasions I had to call a tow truck to aid me because my vehicle would stop with warning. Once while driving on a highway my car stopped while traveling at a high rate of speed and went into park on its own, I notified the towing company and it had to be towed to a dealership. While at a dealership I was notified of a defect and they stated they would fix it. On a second occasion while attempting to park in my driveway the car continued to put itself in park and while trying to reverse my car went into park. After several attempts I again contacted a towing company where they towed me to another dealership where they again attempted to fix the transmission. Again after 2 years I am still fearful to drive my vehicle. I have made attempts to contact the dealership to no avail. My vehicle continues to move from drive to park and vise versa. Please help I have no other means of transportation, my husband has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer and I need this vehicle in order to work and take him to his doctor's appointment. At this rate we will both need doctors if I'm not dead first. This is my final attempt to get assistance with vehicle maintenance and repairs. Although the dealership has made attempts to remedy this situation, I continue to have problems with the transmission. I am completely terrified to drive my vehicle each time I drive.

I got into my car which was parked inside my house garage. I put the car in reverse and moved about 1 to 2 feet back - but had to stop the car as my brother wanted to get into the car. I put the car in "park". As he was getting into the passenger side of the car I started to get out of the car as I wanted to get a towel on my garage shelf. However, before my brother could close the door the car started rolling backwards out of the garage. I was already out of the car when it was moving backwards so I could not get back into the driver's seat -so instead I reach down and pressed the brake pedal with my hand. But it was too late. The passenger door got caught on the garage wall and was bent backwards. The passenger door is now damaged, bent in two places and does not closed correctly.
