What owners say

Filed Sep 26, 2024 · Electrical, Transmission · MO

Unknown, but based on what I've read and seen others describe happen to them I would say it's somehow connected to the park assist. But my battery loses voltage while driving, the car will start blowing hot or cold air which ever it prefers at the time without any heating or cooling system being turned on, the dash goes crazy the rpms, speedometer and everything else will drop to zero the transmission will start jerking and the service park assist warning will flash on and off repeatedly very fast then the car died while driving on the highway and refused to start even with a jump start. Replaced the battery twice in 2 weeks and the alternator as well and the car continues to do this randomly. No codes show up but the abs light, esp bas lights are on, the brake light will come on every now and then without the brake being pressed and the car seriously just seems to have a mind of it's own.

I was in a car accident in july . My car was towed to chrysler in alex va my car was diagnosed correctly the car stalled was smoking steering brakes air bag all were issues. Dealer had my car 7/29-9/6.my car steering wheel was tight driving I report it to the dealer verbally by email with no response. Two weeks after receiving my car back it safe battery mode light came on and broke down I received a jump start twice to restart my car. I slowly drove of apply little pressure to the brakes the safe battery mode light light came on brake ABS light emergency brake light engine light other warning lights I had to controll the steering will trying to apply brakes to drive with was difficult while the dash is blanking orange and on and off. I stop the car had it towed to chrysler dealership to learn when calling a 1800 number my car was on a recall list for alternator. I contact chrysler customer care to resolve the recall told there is no resolution for this recall. I informed of my fears of safety and asked for a solution to at least received a loaner car until the recall solution in 2018 would take place for repairs. I was yelled at hung up on for asking for a replacement resolution and told to had the same recall part place in my car and pay for it and submit the receipt to chrysler for refund. I informed chrysler I don't feel safe and fearful of doing this due to my experience and no safe way to ensure that this would not cause a fire another loss of power and causes a accident. I was told by chrysler customer care each time I called that my only option is to replace the alternator with another alternator that is on recall or wait until chrysler make the recall solution which the new part will be available in 2018 I would have to let the car sit unresolved and not repaired. I feel forced into this option by chrysler and the dealership auto service manger mike

I have a 2012 chrysler 300c. Yesterday while I was driving around 40 MPH the alternator and the battery failed at the same time so subsequently the electronics in my vehicle quickly began to shut down starting with the radio, air conditioning, and then all of the vital electrical functions such as the ABS brakes, power steering, and ignition ( no electrical functions ultimately). Without any electrical power in working in my car I somehow managed to maneuver the vehicle of the main road into a parking lot ( barely made it because there was no active power steering and the braking system stop working as it should. Had there been other vehicles in the immediate area , I may not be submitting this complaint . So once I managed to get the car stop and out of the highway, I opened the hood and noticed white smoke emitting from the alternator and I also that the battery was completed drained because the the interior lights, ignition, door locks, windows, and etc were not working. Has there been or is there a pending recall for my year and model of car. I have a 5.7l hemi engine with a 220 amp alternator. I did read online that a recall #t36 was going to be issued in the month of august for the exact problem that I experience, but I'm not to sure about the validity of that information. Can you give me any information pertaining to my experience?

I own a 2013 chrysler 300 c with the 5.7 hemi. I was pulling out my car of the garage to park it in front of my house, when I was pulling it out it began to make humming noises under the hood and the dash warning lights began to flash ABS,battery saver ect.I looked under the hood and the alternator was smoking, I ran in the garage and got a bucket of water and poured it on the smoking alternator. I took it to the shop and they said the alternator shorted out and damaged the battery. I think chrysler should recall all of these alternators in there cars, 300,challenger,chargers,jeeps..ect.

The shift interlock lever had the return lever spring hook break off. This left the shifter locked in park. Luckily this happened in our driveway at home. I was able to release the shifter however the car is showing the ABS light and traction control lights lit on the instrument panel. Also the seat will not fully adjust and the cruise control no longer works. There is currently a recall (k39) on this item for this year and model car, however I was informed by my dealer that my car does not fall within the build date to qualify for the recall. I have the right year and model and the same problem but my vehicle doesn't qualify. I feel that this recall should be expanded to cover all chrysler vehicles with this problem.
