Chrysler 300 brake failure problems

Filed Oct 31, 2026 · Brakes · WY

I have had problem after problem with my car oxygen sensor went out twice and then the damper and I’m pretty sure the crankshaft has a problem too but now I have a brake booster and the hose that does not seal off the compression doesn’t seal until it warms up so when it’s cold, there is no brakes. It’s a hard push. There is no brakes at all. I took a to a garage and they looked it up and said there was 1500 back ordered of this hose that goes on the brake booster so it’s on obvious problem with the Chrysler 300 and I don’t know why there’s not a recall on that and it is a safety concern because there is no brakes when it is cold outside and tell the compression can seal up when it warms up.

When taking vehicle for test drive about a month ago, the check engine light was on and after driving it, i noticed when AC was on and when off, the car loses power. When i go to pull out it has no power and i almost got hit in the side every time i would pull out from a busy highway. They had check engine light looked at and they said computer told them it was air valve leak or something like that. I had appointment for them to further assist and they said they could not find anything wrong. I can hear where the valve might be leaking at. The brakes are not good. I had to put on the brakes today fast and brake pedal acted like they were gonna skid out from under my foot. Brakes are new so why is it acting like i have no brakes and there is barley any acceleration. Something is going on and i don't want to be in a car accident just because our warnings are being over looked.

I am concerned that a possible safety issue, such as brake failure, with the brake system has gone unrepaired for the past two months. Issues: 1. There is an obvious safety problem with the brakes. 2. The dealer, Chrysler/FCA/Stellantis are not able to repair this problem. The vehicle is available for inspection anytime. We purchased this vehicle brand new on March 31, 2022. The brakes shudder every time upon application especially when going down hill or during a deceleration from high speed. It becomes worse as the brakes heat up. This problem may have always been there but has become worse. The manufacturer's dealer (we bought the auto from this dealer) reproduced the shuddering on September 7, 2022. The service writer stated that brake rotors would be replaced under warranty. Two months later, both the dealer and Chrysler Customer Care claim that the rotors are not available. No date for availability was stated despite my many requests. I am concerned this serious problem can lead to a major accident and has not/cannot be repaired by the manufacturer.

This has happened a few times. First , I started my car, after being driven for awhile, then it immediately shutoff and the abs system, traction control, emergency brake, and other lights lit up on my dash and showed in messages “service power steering,” “service abs system,” and “service electronic stability control.” Meanwhile, my power steering goes out, brakes, and air conditioning stop working with all the lights on my dash lit. Then, when you park and turn it off, it won’t start again. Doesn’t even try to start. This also has happened while driving and I had no choice, but to drive it or be stuck an hour from home at 1am. This not only puts others in danger, but myself with no brakes and power steering.

Brakes-- I was not having any brake issues at all before this happened: I started braking while pulling into a hotel parking lot but the brake petal went right down to the floor and I had no brakes! I put the car in neutral and pushed down on the emergency brake. I went up a curb but at least didn't hit the building. I had the car towed, explained what happened, and the auto repair shop couldn't find anything wrong with the braking system?? And then, of course, it happened again. I had a different place look at the braking system and I think it was a master cyclinder problem. Electrical- the car has turned off completely while driving, even on the highway. I have to put it in neutral and restart it. Cam shaft sensor is being replaced next week and hopefully that will fix the issue.

I was driving slowly, under 10 miles per hour, when it just up and died on me. Tried to restart, but would not. Let it sit for 5 minutes, pushed the gas pedal and held it half way down and vehicle started. But would not idle. Tried to hold pedal and put it in drive.to limp it home, but died when engaging drive. Long story short, it wont start or run unless you give it gas, will not idle in park, neutral, reverse or drive, and there have been hundreds of complaints for this. That being said, I'm assuming someone has to die in an accident, maybe several lives lost before you decide to take this seriously. You people do realize what happens when an engine stalls while driving yes? Loss of brakes for the most part, power steering, acceleration, the list goes on...now put someone behind the wheel that doesn't know how to react. But I guess y'all missed that portion of the class, or you just dont give a [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I wasn't driving my vehicle on a busy highway. The vehicles electrical system started going crazy. Heat turned on, windshield wipers turned on, blinkers going off, radio turned off. Power steering, gas and brakes stopped working. Was stuck in the middle of a busy highway because of this and lucky I did not get hit because of the spot I was in. I got the car towed and sent to a mechanic. It was the alternator that went bad and it burned the battery so had to get that replaces as well. Very dangerous with no warning signs. I have heard this problem is common in these vehicles.

The car simply shut down, no warning, driving about 60 on an interstate. Nothing would work, power-steering was out, no brakes, nothing. The alternator was bad. Chrysler has a recall on "some" of the vehicles with a 3.6l engine and a 160 amp alternator but it appears the same thing is happening to vehicles with different type engines or amps. This seriously needs to be addressed. I have researched on the internet and there are many many complaints and chrysler's dealerships, customer service, etc....simply say not included in recall. These cars are deathtraps waiting to happen.....the cars simply stop!!!!
