MY 2012 CHRYSLER 300 3.6L V6 WENT IN BATTERY SAVE MODE AS I WAS DRIVING THEN SHUT OFF. IT WOULD NOT START SO I BOOST IT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED. I DROVE A CIRCLE AROUND THE APARTMENT COMPLEX AND THE CAR BEGIN TO SMOKE. THE 180AMP ALTERNATOR WAS SMOKING AND BURNING UP. I CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. NOW THE CAR CRANKS AND STAY RUNNING BUT WILL NOT DRIVE. NO DASH LIGHTS ARE WORKING AND I CAN NOT PUT IT INTO GEAR. IF I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT COMPLETELY THEN THE A/C AND DASH LIGHTS N RADIO WORK BUT THE CAR STILL WILL NOT GO INTO MY DESIRED GEAR. I HAVE LOST A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND NOWHERE ONLINE IS THERE ANSWERS FOR THIS PROBLEM.

LIMITED EDITION 75TH ANNIVERSARY MOPAR. CONTINUALLY BLOWS THE 25 AMP FUSE FOR THE ACC, ANTI-SWAY, & AND SYSTEMS. ALTERNATOR HAS CAUGHT FIRE ON ON ONE OCCASSION. CHRYSLER EITHER DOESN'T CARE OR DOES NOT POSSESS THE EXPERTISE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. BATTERY & ALTERNATOR REPLACED AFTER FIRE. 4091 MILES LATER I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME BLOWN FUSE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER "INDEPENDANT" INVESTIGATOR FROM EAA (MIKE SOBIECKI) FILED REPORT TO CHRYSLER A FEW WEEKS AGO. NO CALL FROM CHRYSLER TO ME REGARDING THIS ISSUE (THERE IS A CHRYSLER CASE NUMBER ON THIS). I NEED HELP. I WORK OUT OF STATE AND I-VE ALREADY BROKE DOWN DURING INTERSTATE TRAVEL ON I-10.

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN, THE CARS WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AND ALARMS STARTED BEEPING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE FCW OFF MESSAGE, I SMELLED SMOKE AND HEARD A WHIRING SOUND. AFTER PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY, I POPPED OPEN THE HOOD AND FOUND NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. 20 MINUTES LATER I STARTED UP THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING, AGAIN WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. WHEN COMING BACK HOME (4 MILE ROUND TRIP), I HEARD A WHIRING SOUND AGAIN, SMELLED SMOKE AND LIGHTS AND ALARMS AGAIN. FORTUNATELY, I WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY. AT THIS POINT, I COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD AND SAW SMOKE BILLOWING FROM THE AREA OF THE ALTERNATOR. AFTER THE SMOKE STOPPED I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR TO MOVE IT AND ROLL UP WINDOWS BUT COULD NOT, THE CAR HAD NO POWER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR MY CAR. HOWEVER, I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR, MY CAR HAS THE 180 AMP. THIS ALTERNATOR FAILED IN THE EXACT SAME WAY AS THE 160 AMP ALTERNATORS. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT A BUSY INTERSECTION. SINCE THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, I AM NOW OUT $1000. I HAVE READ SIMILAR STORIES OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE 180 AMP ALTERNATORS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, PLEASE HELP.

I HAVE A 2012 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED WITH A 3.6L V6 AND 180 AMP ALTERNATOR. FAILURE OCCURRED AT 88000. SHOW VERY SIMILAR SYMPTOMS FOR RECALL NUMBER 14V634000 (LOW POWER MODE, BATTERY LIGHT, COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE) WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT SINCE THE RECALL WAS FOR THE 160 AMP ALTERNATOR. I HAD TO REPLACE OUT OF POCKET WITH TOTAL REPAIR COST AT 1200.

S27 RECALL ELECTRONIC SHIFT LEVER SAFETY RECALL WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ON 08/30/2016. ON 12/31/2016 OUR CAR WAS PUT IN THE "PARK" POSITION YET 4 HOURS AFTER IT WAS SITTING IN OUR DRIVE-WAY, TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN, HIT A WOOD PILE ON OUR PROPERTY, CAUSING MORE THAN $1223 IN DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PRIOR TO MOVING ON ITS OWN. NO PERSONAL INJURIES SUSTAINED SINCE NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS STILL IN "PARK" WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FOUND AGAINST THE WOOD PILE. WE HAVE PHOTOS TO PROVE THIS AS WELL AS THE DAMAGE THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX FOR US!

FIRST SIGN WAS IT KEPT SAYING LOW POWER MODE ACTIVATED. I TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. A MONTH LATER I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL TURNED OFF (STEERING, ABS, BATTERY, ETC.) AND THE CAR STARTED SMOKING HEAVILY. MY CAR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VERY VERY SCARY TO LOSE ALL CONTROL OF YOUR CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I PULLED OVER AND GOT CAR TOWED AWAY ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS MESSED UP CAUSING THE BATTERY AND SERPENTINE BELT TO GO OUT AS WELL. I ASKED IF MY 300 WAS COVERED PART OF THE FAULTY ALTERNATORS BUT APPARENTLY MY VIN DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL SO HERE I AM HOPING TO CAUSE AWARENESS SO I CAN GET MY $1500 BILL COVERED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. 2012 CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP ARE KNOWN TO HAVE FAULTY ALTERNATORS BUT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE "BAD BATCH" SO PLEASE EXPAND THIS RECALL.

ON 12/22/16, I USED MY CAR FOR WORK AND LATER CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WITH NO PROBLEM. AT 9:00 PM, MY HUSBAND, GRANDDAUGHTER AND I WERE ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 60-65 MPH WHEN THE BATTERY SAVE MODE LIGHT CAME ON. I SMELLED SMOKE SO MY HUSBAND MERGED OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT, STILL TRAVELING ABOUT 50-55 MPH. THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN, FIRST THE RADIO, THEN INSIDE PANEL LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS UP, AND CAR SLAMMED INTO PARK WHILE MOVING. FELT LIKE WE WERE REAR ENDED. VERY SCARY. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO COAST DOWNHILL OFF THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, BARELY MAKING IT OFF, WITH THE BACKEND OF THE CAR IN JEOPARDY OF BEING HIT. THE THREE OF US WERE STRANDED THERE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL 1:30 AM, IN A NOT SO LIT AREA, UNTIL AAA ARRIVED. NONE OF US KNEW HOW TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL SO IT HAD TO BE FORCED ON AND OFF THE FLAT BED. THE NEXT DAY, I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR THIS SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. MY CARE # IS 30764006. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT HAD A 180 AMP ALTERNATOR INSTEAD OF 160 AMP. I WAS TOLD BY [XXX] TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO MOTOR VILLAGE LA FOR AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS AND THAT SHE (CHRYSLER) WOULD TRY TO HELP ME GET IT APPROVED TO BE FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. MOTOR VILLAGE QUOTED ME $1200 TO FIX AND DENIED THE RECALL CLAIM. MY FAMILY AND I ALMOST LOST OUR LIVES THAT EVENING, AND I WASTED TIME WITH CHRYSLER RECALL. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED ELSEWHERE BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD $1200 FOR REPAIR. FURTHERMORE, WHEN I CALLED BACK, I WAS NOT ABLE TO SPEAK WITH [XXX] AND OF COURSE, THE STORY HAD CHANGED. THEY NO LONGER OFFERED HELP, ONLY APOLOGIES. AS A RESULT, I LOST TIME OFF WORK AND WAS WITHOUT A CAR FOR A WEEK. I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY $130.00 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE PAID TO MOTOR VILLAGE. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE WITH MY SON, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO GO AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THE END CAR FINALLY STARTED TO MOVE SLOWLY, THEN ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH AND EVERYTHING WENT BLACK, NO POWER! I TRIED TO GET AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO HOME, AT THAT POINT I HAD NO POWER STEERING NO NOTHING AND ALL THE WHILE THE DASHBOARD KEPT FLICKERING AND IT SAID SERVICE TRANSMISSION, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR WAS LIT UP.

GEARS WOULD NOT ENGAGE, SO IT REMAINED IN DRIVE THE WHOLE TIME. I KEPT MY FOOT ON BRAKE DUE TO UNCERTAIN ABOUT WHAT THE CAR WOULD DO. IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD BUT CONTINUED TO SMOKE MORE THAN 30 MORE MINUTES. WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL ANYTHING. COULD NOT EVEN OPERATE TRUNK. I AM TOTALLY AFRAID OF THIS CAR. TOWED TO DEALER. ALTERNATOR COST >$1100. MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 68000. P60 RECALL WAS NOT ASSIGNED TO MY CAR DUE TO AMP VALUE.

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AT CHRYSLER, LITTLE FALLS NJ OF 2014, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. FROM ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, TO THE AIRBAG ISSUES, TO LATER SPENDING OVER 1300 IN REPAIRING THE ALTERNATOR. WITHIN THE 1ST FEW DAYS OF THE PURCHASE THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN WHICH I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS TOO LATE TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE, PER FLO I HAD SIGNED THE CONTRACT AND CANNOT CANCEL THE DEAL. AFTER BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AND LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE, I CONTACTED CORPORATE CHRYSLER, IN WHICH CAITLIN CONTACTED ME AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH RT1 CHRYSLER IN LAWRENCEVILLE NJ AROUND 7/2015, IN WHICH THEY STATED THAT THE AIR BAG HAD SPLICED WIRES. A FEW DAYS FROM TAKING THE VEHICLE HOME THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CONTACTED CAITLIN TO REPORT THAT THE ISSUE STILL EXIST IN WHICH SHE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. I CALLED HER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER IN CHERRY HILL AND THE ONE IN LUMBERTON, ALL STATED NO ISSUES FOUND, EVEN AFTER BRINGING IT IN WHEN THE ALTERNATOR WENT ON IT. I ALSO BROUGHT IT IN TO THE CHRYSLER IN LUMBERTON SINCE THE CAR HAD LOST POWER/ENGINE KNOCKING AND THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL I BROUGHT IT BACK TO CHERRY HILL CHRYSLER AND THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS ENGINE PROBLEMS. CORPORATE CHRYSLER AND ALL THESE DEALERS HAVE CONTINUED CLAIMING THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANY AIRBAG ISSUES OR WHEN THEY CLAIM THEY FIND SOMETHING, IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT YET THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. BOTTOM LINE, ALL THESE DEALERS AND CORPORATE CHRYSLER HAVE CONTINUED PUTTING MY LIFE, MY FAMILIES LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND MY FAMILIES. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT A LUXURY LEMON AND CORPORATE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE SINCE THEY CANNOT FIX IT.
