Drivers side headlight does not work. We have changed the bulb , even tried one that did work from the left side . On blogs people are complaining of the same issue on the drivers side , therefore I wonder if others have reported it like myself . The air bag light is staying on as well .

What owners say
I was driving at 70mph 2:30 am on the highway at night right before a curve the headlights shut off due to the main computer 'tpim'.in essence it kills all auto features immediately including the headlights. It's a common problem with these cars just look on some of the forms online. I'm upset because my wife could have been driving the car at the time. Chrysler should be held accountable sense it's an issue with this car in general. They also have issues with the lifters due to the poor quality of the lifters rollers and the mds system.
The service electronic stability control, service air bags and service antilock brake system indicator messages came on in my 2015 chrysler 300c. After diagnostic, a code came up that my headlight housing has a short in it. I have replaced the headlight bulbs several time since I've has the car. It was also found that there is a manufacturer recall on parts of the air bag system but that didn't solve my issues. After spending several hundred dollars on electrical parts and labor I feel that chrysler needs to take a closer look at all of the similar complaints on a car that is only 4 years old. All of the indicator messages came on while the vehicle was in motion. I drive mainly in a highway environment.
All dashboard lights blink on and off and then headlights go off and interior lights and dash all turn off - while driving! This is extremely unsafe! It was dark when this last happened and I was barely able to pull over to turn the car off and back on again. This has happened many times in the past 2 years. When you turn the car back on it seems to be ok. But very scary and unsafe.
While driving, (and while stationary/engine on) the head light turn completely off...then the lights flicker off and on: the interior panel also flickers off and on when the head lights turn off and flicker. This problem first started march 2015 sporadically (3x a week) now it happens every time car is on..
While traveling at speed engine stalls, all dash warning lights illuminate, all gauges drop to no reading and headlights go out, vehicle will restart and show no signs of stated incident, this has happened at least 9 times. Check engine light will only illuminate when failure occurs that is stated above....updated 11/13/15 *bf the consumer stated the failure occurred four times on 8/21/15. Updated 8/21/15 *js updated 1o/27/2017
Engine stalls while vehicle is traveling. At the same time this occurs, the dash lights and gauges will go haywire, flickering, flashing and the gauges swing wildly. The headlights may also go off if they are on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving at various speeds, the headlights became inoperable in the middle of the night. The contact had to shake the light switch for the automatic lights to remain illuminated. The failure occurred more than twenty times. The vehicle was taken to dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,502.
The engine shut off completely while driving. This caused a total loss in power steering, head lights, and anti-lock brakes. Fortunately I was on a well lit road with a long straightaway and able to muscle the car to a safe stop. Had I been a few miles farther down the road I would have been on a winding road with no street lights. It would have certainly caused a major accident. I took the car into a mechanic and they found nothing wrong with it.
I rear ended a car.the headlight was replaced and now my head lights blink while I am driving at night. Progressive insurance or the mechanic will not take responsibility.my 2005 chrysler300 c also shuts off while I am driving.my local dealer delray motors. Where do I turn? Or chrysler will not fix it .my windows wont go down my air bag light flashes on and off.please tell me what to do.I also emailed the national hwy safety company, but still no response.
