A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUFFERED A MIGRAINE THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND WAS TOWED TO ALL-STAR COLLISION SHOP. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V52000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AT SALSBURY DODGE IN BATON ROUGE, LA AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED IN THE IGNITION. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOWS, AIR CONDITIONER, AND RADIO ALSO FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V567000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), 15V313000 (AIR BAGS), AND 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 259,000.

STRONG GAS/FUEL SMELLS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR WORK, MIDAS SAID IT WAS THE FUEL VAPOR STORAGE CANISTER IT WOULD COST $400 TO REPAIR. THIS IS AFTER SPENDING $1700 ON A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND $600 ON A TRANS AND ENGINE MOUNT FROM DRIVING SLOWLY OVER A SPEED BUMP AT MGM GRAND AND $600 TO REPLACE THE BROKEN FAN AND RADIATOR.

MY 2008 CHRYSLER 300C SRT DESIGN WITH THE 5.7 HEMI DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND BROKE THE #6 PISTON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I KNOW THIS PROBLEM USUALLY HAPPENS ON SHORT DRIVING DISTANCES BUT HERE IS THAT ONE OCCURRENCE WHERE IT HAPPENED WHEN ENGINE WAS AT FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IT STARTING MISS FIRING WHILE DRIVING AND BY THE TIME WE COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER TO STOP IT WAS BLOWING SMOKE LIKE CRAZY. THE CAR HAD 127,000 MILES ON IT BUT TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS IT WASN'T FROM LACK MAINTENANCE. I LOVE CARS AND TAKE EXTREMELY WELL CARE OF MINE. WHEN I PULLED THE VALVE COVER TO REMOVE THE HEAD IT WAS SO CLEAN IN THE VALVE TRAIN THAT EVEN MY FRIEND WHO IS TRIPLE MASTER ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC SAID, " [XXX] THAT'S ONE OF CLEANEST ENGINES HE HAD EVER SEEN. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MANY DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE VERY SAME ISSUE, MAYBE JUST ANOTHER CYLINDER WHERE VALVE SEATS HAVE JUST DROPPED. TO MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S THE CHOICE IN MATERIAL THEY USED IN THE SEAT ITSELF AND THEN PRESSING IT INTO AN ALUMINUM HEAD IS WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES. DIFFERENT METALS HAVE DIFFERENT REACTIONS TO HEAT WHERE ONE METAL SUCH AS ALUMINUM WILL HEAT FASTER THAN THEN THE METAL USED IN THE VALVE SEAT. CAUSING VALVE SEATS TO COME LOOSE AND DROP INTO THE CYLINDER CHAMBER CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN ENGINES. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND NOW I'M LOOKING AT $5000.00 TO GET A REMANUFACTURED LONG BLOCK AND THEN PAYING TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. I FEEL THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR VEHICLES THAT HAVE DROPPED VALVE SEATS. THERE'S NO WARNING AS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN BUT REST ASSURED IF YOU OWN A 2003 TO 2008 5.7 HEMI CHANCES ARE IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU TOO. I WANT WHAT'S FAIR AND THAT'S TO BE REIMBURSED FOR COST OF A NEW ENGINE.

I CHECKED MY OIL BEFORE LEAVING ON A 3 HR TRIP THIS PAST WEEKEND, BECAUSE I NOTICE THAT CENTRIPETAL FORCE WAS CAUSING MY OIL LIGHT LIGHT TO DING. I FIGURED IT MAY NEED TO BE TOPPED OFF. I CHECKED IT 3 TIMES TO BE SURE, AND THE DIPSTICK SHOWED I WAS AT THE MAX FILL LINE. WHEN THE ENGINE HAD OVERDRIVE ENGAGED, IT SUDDENLY DISENGAGED, LOSING ALL POWER. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART SOUNDED AS IF THE ENGINE WAS SEIZED UP. I TRIED TO ROLL IT TO DISENGAGE, NO JOY. HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPT (110 MILES) AND THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE WAS BONE DRY. CAN I SUSPECT THIS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OIL SLUDGE, AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED WITH THE 2.7 LITER ENGINES?

WE TOOK OUR 2008 CHRYSLER 300 IN TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER FOR IGNITION SWITCH RECALL #14V567000. AFTER RECALL PERFORMED, THE AUTO RAIN SENSING WIPERS, REMOTE START, REMOTE TRUNK RELEASE, AUTO DIM HEADLIGHTS AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR DID NOT WORK. PER THE DEALER, THE ANTENNA CONNECTION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPAIRED AT NO COST. HOWEVER THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR REQUIRED NEW SENSORS WHICH COST ME $514.68. I FILED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY OFFERED TO PAY 50% . ALL OF THESE SYSTEMS WERE OPERATING PRIOR TO THE RECALL WORK, APPARENTLY THE NEW MODULE COULD NOT RECEIVE THE SIGNALS FROM THE SENSORS. (SEE DEALERS STATEMENT ON ATTACHED INVOICE) MY UNDERSTANDING OF A RECALL IS THAT IT IS TO BE DONE AT NO COST TO THE OWNER, IF THERE IS A COST, OWNERS WILL NOT BRING THEIR VEHICLES IN FOR REPAIR. BUT FOR THE RECALL I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR NEW TIRE SENSORS
