2013 Chrysler 300 Engine Problems

DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 8. VEHICLE HAS 123,000 MILES ON IT. I AM TOLD IT IS A LIFTER OR CAM AND THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THIS VEHICLE IS 7 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED. AFTER READING REVIEWS THE HEMI ENGINE IS KNOWN TO BREAK DOWN. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR A NEW ENGINE APPROXIMATELY $ 7,000. VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN IDLED VERY ROUGH TOOK IN AND MAJOR WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE. WISH CHRYSLER WOULD BACK THEIR VEHICLE.

COMING TO STOP ON CITY STREET ENGINE SHUT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO TURN ENGINE ON AFTER PUTTING IN PARK. AFTER INSPECTION NOTED ENGINE OIL AT ENGINE OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING BASE AND LEAKING ONTO LOWER OIL PAN, DRIVE PULLEYS, AROUND ALTERNATOR NOTED OIL RESIDUE

THE LIFTERS IN THE CAR ARE TICKING AND STICKING. DEALER QUOTED $3500 TO REPAIR. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE IDLED ROUGHLY. ALSO, THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLE OR STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. CRISWELL CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (84 BUREAU DR, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20878, (301) 637-4198) DIAGNOSED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD CAUSED THE FAILURES; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RECALL TO COVER THE REPAIR EXPENSES. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF AN UNKNOWN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE AND STALLED. THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER, BUT IT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN LOCAL DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

HAD ENTERED A SIDE-STREET OFF BEDFORD ST IN LEXINGTON MA (MA 4/225) AT ABOUT 10 A.M. AND WAS STOPPED, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND IN DRIVE, BY A LINE OF TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME. WHILE IDLING, THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND AND A JOLT FELT IN THE CAR, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL IDLING. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY HAD "AWD SERVICE" AND THEN ANOTHER WORD WHICH I DON'T RECALL. WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, I FOUND THE HANDLE SHIFTER ALREADY SHOWED "P" AND SO DID THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE THE SETTING WITH THE HANDLE SHIFTER, PULLING TOWARD "D" DID NOTHING (STILL SHOWED "P") AND PUSHING FORWARD PRODUCED A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ALREADY BEING IN THE SELECTED POSITION. TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT (WHICH PROCEEDED NORMALLY) AND RETRYING TO CHANGE THE SHIFT POSITION RESULTED IN THE SAME BEHAVIOR (I.E., NO CHANGE TRYING TO MOVE TO "D" AND THE MESSAGE IN THE DISPLAY ABOUT ALREADY BEING IN THE SELECTED POSITION). HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TAKEN ON THE BED OF A TOW TRUCK TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. (AS THE TRANSMISSION APPEARED TO BE IN PARK, THAT ENTAILED DRAGGING THE CAR ONTO THE BED OF THE TOW TRUCK AND THEN "BOUNCING" IT OFF THE BED AT THE DEALER. LAST ADVICE I HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY THE DEALER (WAS TODAY) IS THAT THEY ARE AWAITING ADVICE BACK FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT A NEW TRANSMISSION. NOTE: EXTRAORDINARILY LUCKY THAT I WAS STOPPED ON A SIDE STREET IN THE RIGHT-MOST OF THE TWO LANES WHEN THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OCCURRED. HARD TO IMAGINE JUST HOW HORRIFIC IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF IT HAD OCCURRED WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY--WHICH I HAD BEEN DOING JUST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I HAD TURNED OFF TO TRAVEL ON BEDFORD ST.....UPDATED 11/03/17 *BF *TR

ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ACCELERATE FROM 60MPH, TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE'S SPEED BEING REDUCED TO A CRAWL CAUSING POTENTIAL HARM FROM APPROACHING VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESUME SPEED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS EVEN WHILE THE ACCELERATOR WAS BEING DEPRESSED. THERE WERE SEVERAL CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH APPROACHING TRAFFIC UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESUME SPEED. THIS OCCURRED FOLLOWING A VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DESCRIBE PRIOR INCIDENTS. THE DEALER "UPDATED" THE COMPUTER BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO GIVE A REASON FOR THE OCCURRENCE OR VERIFY IF THE CONDITION WAS CORRECTED.... OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT.
