2010 Chrysler 300

The vehicle was sold with an outdated battery and later experienced repeated breakdowns. During the first repair visit, the dealership replaced the battery and alternator but failed to identify the root cause of the problem. The vehicle was returned, but the next day it broke down again. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the wiring harness was severely burnt and melted, creating a significant safety hazard that could cause stalling, fire, or total electronic failure. The dealership later diagnosed a PCM failure, which was not detected during the first repair visit. The wiring damage and PCM issue were not disclosed to the vehicle owner by the dealership, and there was no explanation provided for the cause. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership during the second visit, and photographs of the wiring damage are available. The electrical system and engine control were compromised, placing the driver and others at risk of sudden vehicle failure while driving.

I have a 2010 Chrysler 300 and when I fill my tank up I take the handle out when it clicks I don’t keep filling because I know not to. My car will smell like someone poured gas into my backseat and if I roll the driver side window down for air it seems to get stronger for a little over 3 months now until it gets a quarter in a half below full. Now I don’t fill my car up all the way due to that and no one has figured it out yet. I have replaced lines and caps and now the fuel pump to find out none of it was the problem. I was followed home tonight to be told my car was pouring out gas from under the fuel pump area while I was driving. So I took a video of it pouring out under the driver back seat area and then I pulled off the back seat to find gas all on top of my brand new fuel pump. First I figured maybe the seal wasn’t on right but everything was put on correctly but yet I have no clue why there is gas everywhere especially seeing the pump is in correct. I can’t drive my car nor take my grandson anywhere with my car smelling like gas. Not understanding why my old and new fuel pump is backing up and I wouldn’t run my car on empty nor overfill. I have spent a bit of money into my car replacing things to continue to have the same problem. Major issue scared to ride in my car not knowing if it is going to catch on fire and that is my main transportation. By the way I changed my fuel pump because my car wouldn’t start yesterday and I didn’t hear the fuel pump turning on so tapped it a few times and it clicked on and it was whining so loud I parked it a few blocks away at a family members house scared to be stuck on the side of the road going home yesterday. Seatbelt lock box quit working as well I literally have to push it in 50 times to get it to click very irritating especially if you are in a hurry but that is way minor compared to my gas issue for the last few months Wish I could share video to show gas pouring out can’t see in pictures

SPECIFIC PROBLEM: HEATH VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE CHRYSLER 300 2010 MODELS ARE THE HEATING (OR) INTERIOR HEATING SYSTEM. STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING, WHETHER YOUR ARE TRAVELING OR PARKED IDLE (MOTOR RUNNING) FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO, THE VEHICLE WOULD START GETTING WARM AND YOU WOULD FEEL THE HEAT COMING FROM THE ARM REST AND UNDER THE DASH BOARD EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE THE HEAT TURNED OFF, AND ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. HERE IS THE CATCH. SAY YOU ARE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY OR LOCAL STREETS FOR TWO (2) HOURS, YOU WOULD FEEL THE ARM REST VERY WARM AND YOUR FEET ARE WARMER THAN USUAL. IF YOU LIFT THE ARM REST UP AND STICK YOUR HAND INSIDE THE POCKET YOU WOULD FEEL THE HEAT COMING OUT OF THERE. YOU ALSO FEEL THE HEAT COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH BOARD BY THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. WHEN TRAVELING AND BREATHING-IN THE HEAT YOU WOULD FEEL LIKE YOU ARE TIRED AND WANT TO SLEEP, WHEN IN FACT YOU DON'T. THIS IS HAPPENING IN ALL OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED MODEL, 2010 OF CHRYSLER. I FIRST NOTICED IT IN 2011 WHEN I GOT THE FIRST VEHICLE, AND THEN IN 2016 WHEN I GOT A SECOND (2ND) ONE (CHRYS. 300 2010) (USED). WHEN AIR TRAVELING I USUALLY RENT THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE FROM RENTAL CAR COMPANIES AND THE SAME THIN IS HAPPENING WITH THE HEAT COMING OUT OF THE ARM REST AND THE FROM THE DASH BOARD (FLOOR). I MEANT TO WRITE ABOUT THIS MATTER FOR A WHILE, BUT ONLY NOW I AM GETTING TO IT. IN CLOSING, HERE IS WHAT YOUR AGENCY SHOULD DO IN CONDUCTING YOUR OWN SURVEY. HAVE YOUR DRIVERS OR ANY EMPLOYEES THAT HAS THE ABOVE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE, TRAVEL IN IT FOR TWO (2) HOURS, THEN HAVE THEM FEEL THE ARM REST, THEY WOULD SEE HOW WARM IT IS. HAVE THEM LIFT UP THE ARM REST AND PLACE THEIR HAND INSIDE, ASK THEM IF IT IS HOT OR WARM. ASK THEM HOW WARM IS THEIR FEET THERE AT THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. YOU WOULD AGREE THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG.

FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, MY RPM WILL JUMP TO OVER 3 WHILE BARELY PRESSING ON THE GAS. THIS ISSUE TENDS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN I SLOW DOWN (BUT NOT COMPLETELY STOP, LIKE AT A CHANGING LIGHT) AND ATTEMPT TO SPEED BACK UP. MY CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE VERY FAST BUT THE RPM WILL BE VERY HIGH. ALSO, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING A CONSTANT SPEED MY RPM WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN. I'VE ATTEMPTED TO USE MY AUTOSTICK TO GET THE RPM TO DROP BACK DOWN AND IT ONLY HELPS OCCASIONALLY. I'VE HAD SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, A NEW BATTERY, A TRANSMISSION FLUSH, WIRES REPLACED FOR THE THROTTLE BODY (THEY WERE BROKEN/BURNT), MY CAR SAID IT HAD THE WRONG OIL IN IT, SO I GOT ANOTHER OIL CHANGE, I'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLASHED TWICE. I'VE HAD 5 DIFFERENT PEOPLE/SHOPS LOOK AT MY CAR (INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP) AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S CAUSING IT, ALL REPAIRS HAVE TOTALED OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS SINCE HAVING THIS ISSUE, ROUGHLY $1,500. THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING AND THIS IS MY SECOND CHRYSLER 300C.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL BLINKING AND CAR HAS NO POWER. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WOULD NOT GO WHEN GIVING IT SOME GAS. THE PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR.

THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) HAS FAILED ON MY VEHICLE. AT FIRST IT STARTED AS A DEAD BATTERY WHICH WAS REPLACED, THEN A PARASITIC DRAW WHICH COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED RIGHT AWAY, THEN CAUSED MY STARTED NOT TO HAVE POWER. THE CAR WOULD TURN ITSELF ON WHILE IT WAS TURNED OFF AND MAKE THE LIGHTS BUG OUT AND HORN SOUND. THEN IT WOULD STOP AND START AGAIN MULTIPLE TIMES DRAINING THE BATTERY. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN STATES AND I STOPPED FOR GAS WHEN MY CAR NO LONGER STARTED AND WAS STRANDED THERE FOR HOURS BEFORE IT WOULD START AGAIN. ITS STATIONARY WHEN THE CAR WOULD TURN ITSELF ON AND OFF.

THE CAMS AND LIFTERS NEED AT 115,000 MILES NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. LIFTERS AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR THE 5.7 V8 HEMI ENGINE. PER DEALERSHIP MECHANICS CHRYSLER HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAS NOT RECALLED VEHICLES THE HAVE THIS ENGINE.
