What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the outside passenger's side front and passenger's side rear door handles detached from the vehicle. The contact stated that the door handles were designed to swivel but instead were coming straight forward. The vehicle was taken to voss village cadillac, inc (650 miamisburg centerville rd, dayton, oh 45459, (937) 428-2300) where the door handles were replaced however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage 14,000.
Hood prop both sides, same for the trunk, driver side door handle, struts and rotors! Hit in the head from trunk. This car has been serviced and has 157,000 miles2005 hemi. This is a recall on props for sure! Looking to hear from you soon!!!replaced tire rods and the dealership said I should have called and filed for recalls.
Vehicle was stationary and parked. I unlocked car door with fob and pulled the exterior driver's door handle and a plastic piece under chrome handle on the left fell to the ground and that side of the door handle is now broken. I have to have the entire door handle replaced.
I have had constant issues with the control arms, tie rods, and the door handles are all broken. I had to replace my radiator twice now. I love my car, but I am highly disappointed with the costs that I have had with this car. The radiator issues have come while the car was in motion. My engine died without warning while I was driving. I never had any warnings prior to the motor blowing. I have regular maintenance done to my car, but a new engine, 2 radiators, tie rods, and control arm repairs/changes seem to be the continuum for my car. The door handles are cosmetic and have not been repaired. I have records from my dealership and another place I entrust with my vehicle.
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?
Upon trying to open the driver door, the door handle came right off. The vehicle was sitting in the parking lot of super market. 44944 miles.
I have had problems with my 2006 chrysler 300c door handles for quite some time now. After a year or two when I first purchased the vehicle, the back exterior (chrome) right door handle became partially detached. I had it repaired and since then, the very same door handle as well as the exterior door handle on the driver's side is partially detached. Also, the handle on the passenger side is completely detached. This is a big problem. I bought my car brand new and I have had numerous problems with it. As pricey as this vehicle is, you would think that chrysler would use the best parts for their vehicles. There needs to be a recall on these handles. When I replaced it before, it cost about $200 and this is ridiculous. I should not have to pay to replace these handles when clearly there is an issue on their end. I also want to add that my car has stalled numerous times before after putting gas in it and the oil light would come on sometimes. My headlights also don't work properly. I have to keep the headlight knob in the auto position just for them to remain on otherwise the lights will blink on and off. So during the daytime, my headlights are on. I didn't have this issue until after I took my car for an oil change at the dealership. I absolutely hate to take my car to the dealership (hebert's town & country) because they never can seem to fix the problem or they end up creating one.
Door handle has broken twice. First, it broke on the front driver door. The, today, 05/06/14, it broke on the back passenger door.
