2014 Chrysler 300 Lighting Problems

THE HEADLIGHTS PROVIDE NO SIDE ILLUMINATION. ALSO THE LIGHT PROJECTED INTO THE FRONT DIRECTION DOES NOT GIVE TOTAL COVERAGE. BULBS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TWICE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE SIDE ILLUMINATION AND MINIMAL TO THE FROM. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER ON 06/33/2020

HEADLIGHTS HAVE NO SIDE VISION. ON DARK ROADS , WHEN TURNING OFF ON DRIVEWAYS CAN NOT SEE DRIVEWAY.06

WHEN DRIVING OR NOT DRIVING SUN ROOF WILL NOT GO CLOSE I HAVE TO PUSH BUTTON A FEW TIMES OR WAIT A FEW MINUTES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN STARTING CAR OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN BRAKING POPPING SOUND COMES FROM LEFT SIDE OF CAR AND A LITTLE SLIDING, PAINT PEELING OFF BACK BUMPER. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 YEARS NOW. CAR AT REPAIR SHOP NOW FOR BRAKES. *TR

PURCHASED USED 2014 CHRYSLER 300S ON 9/28/16 AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AT NIGHT FOUND THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND WHEN TURNING THE CAR RIGHT OR LEFT ALMOST NO LIGHT. WE LIVE IN A RURAL PART OF SOUTH EASTERN WISCONSIN AND HAVE A LOT OF DEER AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT ANY RECALLS ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT SEE ANY THAT WERE LISTED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BUT IT ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED .

DRIVING MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300 AT NIGHT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. THE HEADLIGHTS GIVE YOU NO SIDE LIGHT AND THE LOW BEAM IS VERY DIM. THE PROJECTED LIGHT BEAM IS MISADJUSTED AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. WORST NIGHT TIME HEADLIGHTS I HAVE OWNED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP. IT IS BAD ENOUGH I NEED PRESCRIPTION EYE GLASSES TO SEE DISTANCE AT NIGHT, BUT THEY DON'T WORK WITH POOR HEADLIGHTS. *TR

LIGHTING IS TO DIM, CANNOT SEE THE ROAD VERY WELL AT NIGHT AND THERE IS NO SIDE VISION AT ALL DUE TO THE DIMNESS OF THE LIGHTS. IF AN ANIMAL WERE TO JUMP IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT BEE SEEN UNTIL IT WAS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IF SOMEONE IS WALKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD GETTING READY TO CROSS THE STREET AND THE CAR IS GETTING READY TO TURN ONTO THAT STREET, THE PEDESTRIAN WOULD NOT BE SEEN AT ALL!

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY POOR BOTH DOWN ROAD AND TO SIDE EVEN WITH TOWN STREET LIGHT DIRECTLY OVERHEAD I ALMOST HIT MY NEIGHBOR RIDING HIS BICYCLE AS I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE. DEALER SAYS NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO IMPROVE VISION. EVEN ON HIGH BEAM, NEVER GET RESPONSE FROM OTHER DRIVERS THAT LIGHTS ARE TOO BRIGHT. RURAL ROAD DRIVING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AT NIGHT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE CONTACT COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD PROPERLY AND, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, WAS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO CRASHING THE VEHICLE DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VISIBILITY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MADE TO HAVE HIGH VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. UPDATED 10/04/16*LJ

AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT GIVE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS. IT IS DANGEROUS TO MAKE A TURN ONTO A DARK STREET EVEN WITH THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON.

I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER 300 YEAR 2014 USED FROM CHRYSLER DEALER IN MESA AZ. ON 4/22/2015. THE CAR WAS WHAT WE WANTED AND WE ALSO PURCHASED THE MOPAR EXTENDED WARRANTY AT THE TIME. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE NO MENTION WAS MADE THAT THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION WOULD NOT BE SAFE AT NIGHT TO DRIVE. I HAVE HAD MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH DEALER STAFF OVER LAST YEAR AND A HALF AS TO THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESULT. HERE IS THE PROBLEM WHEN TURNING A CORNER AT DARK YOU LOSE ALL SIDE VISION IF YOU ARE IN AN AREA WITHOUT STREET LIGHTING. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER HAS BUILT A CAR WITHOUT LIGHTING THAT LETS YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT STRAIGHT AHEAD. WHEN I BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE THIS WITH CHRYSLER REP. AS NO ONE AT DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WE FOUND THE PROBLEM. YOU WILL SEE BY THE EMAILS I HAVE ATTACHED THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF PROBLEM. THEY EVEN HAVE AN OPTION TO FIX CALLED STEERING DIRECTED LIGHTING. HOWEVER I AM TOLD IT CANNOT BE PUT ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AFTER DARK IN AN AREA OUTSIDE OF CITY LIGHTS. AS YOU WILL SEE BY ATTACHED EMAILS I HAVE TRIED TO GET CHRYSLER AND THEIR DEALERSHIP TO PAY ATTENTION BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO EVEN TEST DRIVE THEIR OWN PRODUCT. ALSO NO ONE IN AUTHORITY FROM EITHER CHRYSLER OR THEIR DEALERSHIP HAS CONTACTED ME. ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME FROM DEALERSHIP. ANYONE THAT WOULD COME TO MY HOUSE AFTER DARK AND DRIVE MY CAR AROUND THE BLOCK WOULD SEE THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. THANK YOU FOR ANY ATTENTION YOU MAY PAY TO THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,300.

THE HEADLAMPS, BOTH LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM, ARE VERY DIM. THE HIGH BEAMS DON'T ILLUMINATE ANYTHING ON THE SIDES OF THE CAR, JUST SHINE HIGHER AND STRAIGHT AHEAD ( TUNNEL VISION). I HAD THE HIGH BEAMS INSPECTED AT A STATE CERTIFIED GARAGE. THE MECHANIC SAID THE HIGH BEAMS WERE ODD, BUT WITHIN TOLERANCE. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY ON RURAL DARK ROADS, BECAUSE THE VISIBILITY IS SO TERRIBLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. DRIVING HOME AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2014, FOG CONDITIONS EXACERBATED THE PROBLEM.
