What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chrysler 300. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in and repaired per the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v240000 (power train). Shortly after the repair, the vehicle's shifter was slipping. The contact stated that the shifter moved into the neutral position on its own while at a stop sign. The contact took the vehicle back to the rancho chrysler and jeep dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic shift lever needed to be repaired. The repair was no longer covered under the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The mopar manufacturer advised the contact to return to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.
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.
Brand new 2014 chrysler 300 s purchased 12/5/2014 . 595 miles on odo today, 1/17/2015. Driving home today I noticed a split second surge, like the brakes grabbed, like the car lurched. Shortly after I noticed the check engine light was illuminated. Pulled over and shut/started the engine. Check engine still there. Started out from the curb, and the engine revved to approx. 3000 but the car barely moved, the transmission lagged relative to engine speed. [I.e.not engaging or slipping]. Gradually it picked up speed. Stopped again same thing. Tried to shift to sport mode with out success....no sport mode, so paddle shifters also failed . I could shift to p,r,n,d. Not sport mode. A short while after I was home, I started the car, check engine still lit. While still parked now I could shift to sport mode. Drove a short distance in drive, but eco not showing in infomat display. Sport mode/paddle shifters now were working but would not shift to 8th gear. Prior to this event, and hours before it took place.....I paired my cell phone and it automatically loaded all my contacts. I used both contacts and voice recognition to make calls no problems. So it was working great earlier in the day. When the transmission problem took place [explained above] I tried to make a call, and the screen showed "no phone connected".. Everything including contacts evaporated like I never paired the cell. I would think both problems are connected.
