2012 Chrysler 300 Complaint Log

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. ALREADY HAD HARNESSES REPLACED. PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BY RECALL. I WAS TOLD IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT, MAKING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE LIGHT IS ON REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF BUT IT ALWAYS COMES BACK ON. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON FOR THE PAST YEAR OR MORE. I WILL USE TODAY'S DATE AS THE DATE IT OCCURRED SINCE THE LIGHT WAS ON WHEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE THIS MORNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL MORE THAN USUAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

ON MAY 31, 2019 I WAS PARKING MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 IN FRONT OF A CONVENIENCE STORE.. AS I WAS ABOUT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND ENTERED THE STORE THROUGH THE PLATE GLASS WINDOW. THE VEHICLE STOPPED DUE TO AN OBJECT IN ITS WAY. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.

CHRYSLER 300 2012 WENT INTO SAVER MODE COUPLE MINUTES LATER ALTERNATOR SMOKED THEN CATCHES ON MILD FIRE.

TIPM MALFUNCTION BURNED CAUSING SERIOUS ISSUES, NO A/C, BATTERY CHARGE LOW BUT GOOD BATTERY, NAVIGATION NO LONGER WORKS. UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

5.7 HEMI DEFECTIVE LIFTER. THE 2012 5.7 HEMIS USED DEFECTIVE LIFTERS, HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE LIFTERS FAILING CAN BE FOUND ON DODGE FORUMS ACROSS THE INTERNET. WHAT HAPPENS, IS THE ROLLER ON THE LIFTER THAT ROLLS ALONG THE CAMSHAFT IS PRONE TO LOCKING UP, IT THEN GRINDS INTO THE CAMSHAFT. THIS CAN LEAD TO MISFIRES AND CAUSE METAL FLAKES TO CIRCULATE THROUGH THE ENGINE VIA OIL. IF LEFT UNCHECKED, IT MAY ALSO LEAD TO A TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON ALL CHRYSLER PRODUCTS THAT HAVE A 5.7L, DURANGO, CHARGER, CHALLENGER, RAM, AND JEEP AND FROM MY RESEARCH, I SEE THE BULK OF THESE FAILURES HAPPENING BETWEEN 80000 AND 120000 MILES, LIFTERS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING THAT SOON. IN MY CASE, AT APPROXIMATELY 160000 MILES, MAINLY HIGHWAY MILES, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, I SCANNED THE VEHICLE, IT WAS THROWING A CYLINDER 5 MISFIRE CODE, SO I STARTED SMALL. FIRST I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, I THEN TRIED SWAPPING IGNITION COILS TO SEE IF THE CODE WOULD FOLLOW THE IGNITION COIL, IT DID NOT. I THEN TESTED MY FUEL SYSTEM, THE PUMP, THE FUEL RAILS, AND THE INJECTORS, ALL WERE WORKING NORMALLY. FOR ONE LAST EFFORT, I CHECKED MY AIR FLOW SYSTEM, THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR, THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR, THE MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR, AND OF COURSE THE AIR FILTER. ALL WERE WORKING NORMALLY. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A DODGE DEALER, THEY TORE THE ENGINE DOWN AND FOUND THAT THE LIFTERS WERE FAILING, AFTER $2,000 TO REPAIR THE LIFTERS, THE CODE STILL PERSISTS. I REMOVED MY VALVE COVER AND WATCHED THE LIFTERS AS A FRIEND TRIED TO CRANK THE ENGINE, THE CYLINDER 5 LIFTER IS NOT TRAVELING AS MUCH AS THE OTHERS, THIS TELLS ME THAT THE CAMSHAFT HAS BEEN DUG INTO BY THE FAULTY LIFTER THAT WAS REPLACED AND IS WHY THE NEW LIFTER IS NOT TRAVELING AS MUCH AS IT SHOULD. IT WILL COST ANOTHER TWO GRAND TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

JUST BOUGHT THIS 2012 CHRYSLER 300 AND NOT EVEN HAVING IT 2 WEEKS I FILLED UP MY TANK AND SMELLED A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL. MY HUSBAND LIFTED UP THE BACK SEAT AND FOUND A QUITE LARGE PUDDLE JUST SITTING ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE ORING BUT WE REPLACED THAT YESTERDAY AND FILLED IT UP AGAIN AND NOTICED ANOTHER GOOD SIZE PUDDLE ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN.

THE TRUNK OPENS BY ITSELF . THIS HAPPEN 0 TO 40 TIMES A DAY . IT HAPPENS WITH THE ENGINE OFF OR RUNNING . IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN IN GEAR . CAUSE UNKNOWN

JUST BOUGHT A 2012 CHRYSLER 300 BASE MODEL ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO FROM A USED CAR DEALER. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITANT . IT STAYS ON FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE. ONCE IT STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. IT ALWAYS GOES OUT. CAR RIDES FINE. JUST WONDERING IF THIS IS A FREE FIX AT DEALER. IT WOULD COME ON MORE WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN I STOP THE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT SHORTLY AFTER.

MY 2012 S V6 AWD WILL NOT DRIVE IN RWD MODE IT IS STUCK IN AWD ALL THE TIME. MECHANICS AND DEALERS CLEAR AND REBOOT COMPUTERS NO ERRORS BUT CAN'T FIX ISSUE? AND, CAN'T FIND ANSWERS? SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH CHRYSLER'S AUTOMATIC AWD ON/OFF?

THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT WORK DESPITE HAVING BEEN TAKING INTO THE DEALER THREE (3) TIMES FOR DIAGNOSIS /SERVICING SINCE APPROXIMATELY NOV, 2018. THE DEALER EVEN HAD IT FOR 10 DAYS WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION DURING XMAS, 2019 AND SUPPOSEDLY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM DURING THE "SEVERAL" TIMES THEY TRIED. IN REALLY SLICK, SNOWY CONDITIONS, THE SERVICE AWD LIGHT WILL COME ON, BUT ONCE I'VE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, IT DOESN'T COME ON AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT SLICK, SNOWY EVENT. THE DEALER'S ONLY SUGGESTION IS NEW TIRES WHICH DOESN'T HELP IF THE FRONT TIRES WON'T ENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO DRIVE. WHEN THE AWD ISSUE OCCURS, THE VEHICLE IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO STOP WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND DIFFICULT TO START WHEN TAKING OFF. PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 24 HOURS, THEN STAYED OFF FOR 1-2 DAYS. NOW IT STAYS ON CONSISTENTLY (WHETHER IN PARK OR DRIVE). THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONSISTENTLY SINCE FEB, 2020. THIS WAS TAKEN IN AND REPAIRED FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL IN APPROXIMATELY JAN, 2019

I PUMPED A TANK OF GAS ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO. I GOT INTO THE CAR IT WAS WAS FILL WITH GAS FUMES. THE SMELL IS STRONG WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING IN PARK. I THOUGHT MAYBE SOME GAS SPILLED WHEN I REMOVED THE PUMP SO I WENT ON HOME BUT FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS I CONTINUED TO SMELL GAS SO I RINSED THE CAR OFF TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP IT DID NOT . I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN MY CITY FOR THE TO CHECKOUT THE SMELL OF GAS. PER THE INSPECTION THE WIRES TO THE RIGHT FUEL INJECTION HAD MELTED AND GAS WAS LEAKING AND THE LEFT WIRES TO THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS WERE MELTING ALSO AND IN A FEED DAYS IT WOULD BE LEAKING GAS TOO. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALL, WIRES MELTING IS NOT WARE AND TARE. THE CAR WILL CATCH FIRE IT THE WIRES AND FUEL INJECTORS ARE NOT REPLACE, SO THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT WILL CAUSE BODILY HARM AND OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER. PLEASE EVERYONE IF YOU ARE HAVING OR HAVE HAD THIS GAS LEAK REPORT THIS TO YOUR CHRYSLER CORPORATION THIS NEED TO BE HANDLED BY AS A RECALL THIS IS A MALFUNCTION THAT ACCORDED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VEHICLE, THEREFORE IT SHOULD NOT BE THE CAR OWNERS EXPENSE. DO THE RIGHT THING CHRYSLER RECALL THE LEFT AND RIGHT FUEL INJECTION SYSTEMS.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAD AN AIRBAG INDICATOR THAT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD OF MY VEHICLE AND I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING THE RECALL OF MY AIRBAG. I DID TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. AFTER THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE WAS REPAIRED I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I DID GO BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHY THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE SERVICE REP ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE INDICATOR. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND DECIDED TO DO A BIT OF RESEARCH BECAUSE I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE INDICATOR WAS STILL ON. UPON RESEARCHING THE INDICATOR LIGHT, I DID READ THAT IF THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS LIT AND I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BACK AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SERVICE MANAGER WHO ADVISED THAT THE LIGHT WAS NOT AN ISSUE THEY COULD RESOLVE UNLESS I PAID A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $120 AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW AT THAT POINT WHY IT WAS ON. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG AND THERE IS A RECALL WHY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I FEEL THAT IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN AIRBAG RECALL THAT I SHOULD HAVE LEFT THAT DEALERSHIP WITH ALL THE CONFIDENCE IN THE WORLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. YET I NOW MUST EITHER PAY OR HOPE THAT I DO NOT HAVE A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE AIRBAG HAS A RECALL. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF IT'S A MAINTENANCE INDICATOR BUT IT'S AN AIRBAG ISSUE THAT PUTS THE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE IN DANGER. I NEED TO GET SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE PUT IN JEOPARDY.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES RANDOMLY. HAPPENS WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY WIRE HARNESS. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL (13V118000) FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES RANDOMLY. HAPPENS WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY WIRE HARNESS. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL (13V118000) FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CRYSTAL CHRYSLER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, ATTEMPTED TO BUCKLE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT, BUT THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT CONNECT - THE MECHANISM INSIDE OF THE RECEIVER WOULD NOT LOCK THE SEAT BELT INTO PLACE - THEREFORE THE "SEAT BELT NOT ENGAGED" INDICATOR CONTINUED TO SOUND - SINCE THE SEAT BELT CANNOT BE LOCKED/SECURED. MECHANISM IS BROKEN, AND NEEDS TO NOW BE REPLACED BEFORE VEHICLE CAN BE SAFELY DRIVEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V118000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG INFLATOR; WEEKS LATER MY AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD.

IT WAS ALSO REPORTED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECENT RECALL. ISN'T THIS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT?

I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT GANELY CHRYSLER AURORA (FIRST JIM, THEN MAT). I REQUESTED AN APPOINTMENT REGARDING THE ALTERNATE RECALL. JIM STATED THAT SINCE THIS RECALL IS OVER A YEAR OLD, AND THE DEALERSHIP ONLY GETS ONE PART AT A TIME, I WOULD HAVE TO CALL IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO SEE IF THEY ARE ABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN SO THEY COULD LOOK AT MY PART NUMBER AND ORDER THE PART IF THEY DO NOT ALREADY HAVE IT ON HAND.

RE: EXPERIENCE RECALL T36: I WAS TAKING AN EXIT OFF RAMP FROM THE HIGHWAY WHEN I COULD SMELL A BURNING SMELL. THE ABS, BATTERY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. MY SPEEDOMETER WAS MOVING UP AND DOWN, MY SCREEN STARTED BLINKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT ON ON ITS OWN AND MY CAR JUST LOCKED UP AND ALL LIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OFF. STEERING AND BRAKES WAS NOT OPERABLE. AS I CAME DOWN THE HILLED RAMP I PULLED OVER (STEERING WHEEL) WAS HARD TO STEER, HOPING AND PRAYING THAT I DIDN'T HIT THE LIGHT POLE THAT WAS APPROX. 10 FT AWAY. THANK GOD THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ABOUT 5 FT AWAY FROM THE LIGHT POLE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN THE PARK POSITION. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE TOW TRUCK GUY COULDN'T GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO TOW IT! HE HAD TO OPEN UP SOMETHING BY THE SHIFTER TO FORCE IT TO GO INTO NEUTRAL. GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME A $160 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE ALTERNATOR WHICH ALSO KILLED MY BATTERY. MY CAR WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT ABOUT 10:30AM. THE SHUTTLE SERVICE BROUGHT ME TO WORK. BY 3PM I DIDNT GET ANY PHONE CALL REGARDING THE STATUS ON MY CAR, I CALLED THEM TO CHECK. THEY SAID IT WAS THE T36 RECALL -THE ALTERNATOR IS FAULTY THAT THEY WILL TRY TO GET THE NEW ALTERNATOR COVERED WITHOUT ME HAVING TO PAY ANYTHING OUT OF POCKET. THE CAR WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. WELL TODAY IS THE NEXT DAY, THEY WILL REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR FREE OF CHARGE BUT IT'LL STILL BE A DEFECTIVE ONE BECAUSE I WILL STILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE DEALER "WHEN THEY GET THE RIGHT ALTERNATOR" AND REPLACE IT AGAIN! THIS MEANS I WILL STILL BE DRIVING MY "UNSAFE" CAR THAT COULD GET ME IN AN ACCIDENT OR BURN UNTIL THE NEW PART COMES OUT!!THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS! I CALLED THE DEALER MONTHLY PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING TO NO AVAIL. I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD PROVIDE ME A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE "RIGHT PART" COMES IN!
