THAT HELPED WITH THE BEEPING. BUT I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR STARTING, HAD TO SIT PLACES UNTIL I COULD GET IT STARTED. SO I GO ON CHRYSLER S PAGE ONLY TO READ ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THE WIN MODULE, AND IT STATES THAT THERE"S MANY MANY OF THE 2008 CHRYSLER 300 WITH THIS PROBLEM. AND IT ALSO STATES THAT IF IT FAIL WHILE DRIVING THE CAR COULD SHUT OFF. MY COMPLAINT IS IF CHRYSLER KNOW THIS WHY DON'T THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE CARS. SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT THEIR CAR WANT START, BUT WHEN IT'S TAKEN INTO THE SHOP, THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER, AND THEN WHEN THE PART COME IN AND INSTALLED YOU HAVE TO GET ANOTHER KEY FOB AND IT PROGRAMMED TO THAT MODULE. THAT KEY IS A TOTAL OF $289.00. I WAS QUOTED, AND MOST PEOPLE HAVE 2 KEYS. THAT PRICE IS $289.00 EACH. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, IF IT'S THAT MANY COMPLAINT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

TWO WEEKS TO COME IN, THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. I ASKED IF IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE REPLACING SO MANY AND WAS TOLD NO, IT WAS BECAUSE "TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE REPLACING THEM UNNECESSARILY", I ASKED IF THEY HAD A LOANER CAR SINCE IT WAS NOT OUR FAULT THAT IT WOULD TAKE SO LONG TO GET THE PART AND WE COULD NOT AFFORD A RENTAL, THAT WE WERE A THREE CAR FAMILY DOWN TO ONLY ONE CAR. I WAS TOLD NO THEY DO NOT SUPPLY LOANER CARS OR REIMBURSEMENT ON A RENTAL CAR. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF A PART IS TAKING THAT LONG TO GET IT MUST BE BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING TO REPLACE SO MANY.
