Recently purchased a 2013 Chrysler 300 the vehicle has been having constant starting issues. I have taken the vehicle to at least 5 shops and every shop is telling me that my vehicle is having codes come back for the automatic transmission: Control module (tcm, PCM) the car has been worked on multiple times and I am still unable to fix the problem. I seen there is a recall for 2013 Chrysler 300 for this exact issue and I believe my vehicle may have been affected.
Hands free module quit working, common problem with Dodge/Chrysler, ac will not recirculate causes only outside air to be drawn into the cab, cause is malfunctioning/bad humidity sensor about the resr view mirror, driver heated seat quit working, left headlight quit working, bad hid ballast. The gas and brake pedal assembly will retract on it's own while driving. The transmission W5A580-nag1-722.6 either shift extremely hard 3-4 4-5 or slips in between the gears causing the engine rpms to go way up and then either falls back into gear or causes a neutral and will not go back into gear until you either drop below 18 mph or completely stop and either put the car in park and back into drive or shut the engine off for about 10 seconds and start it back up. After the flare between gears it is stuck in 3rd gear or limp mode with a check engine light dtc read P0730 through P0735. Literally have to carry a diagnostic scan tool with me to clear the codes. Its extremely dangerous and always happens in the worst places like getting on the interstate or on busy city streets almost causes an accident because you have no choice but to pull over and stop no matter where you are or the conditions around you... these are all very common issues with this car, it would be nice if Chrysler would make it right...

My 18 year old son was driving the car at about 40-50 miles an hour on a very busy street in bellevue Washington, a city he's not familiar with when the car suddenly shifted into park and would no longer accelerate. He had to think quickly and by the grace of god he was able to momentarily get the car in drive and pull over into a driveway. Once stopped the car would not shift into any other gear, it would revert back to park regardless of what gear you shifted it into. We tried to shift it into drive and it reverted back to park. This is the second very serious situation I've had with this car. The fuse happens over a year ago when the car just stopped running in the middle of driving. I almost got hit by a bus but luckily I was also able to think quick nd turn into a urgent care parking lot. It was a faulty alternator that was a part of a recall. I am very scared to drive this car and do not want my so. To ever drive it. It's supposed to be a second car for him to drive but its unsafe. I want Chrysler to pay me out of my loan as I never want to drive this car again and I still owe $15,000 on this car.
My vehicle keeps shifting into park on it's on while I'm driving after a gear recall was performed. I was advised by marty cancila Dodge St. Louis, that it was something else but they repaired whatever they thought it was and it it is still doing it after driving the vehicle back home. This makes my vehicle undrivable due to safety reasons for my children and I. can someone please investigate this matter thoroughly as my life and my children's lives are at risk! it occurred when I was driving, in motion, on a street and backing out of my driveway the second time after repairs were made.

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
I found a recall for Chrysler 300 (N65), but it's only for a 3.6L model. I have a 5.7L hemi AWD and the output shaft just broke while driving in the highway. I cannot be the only one... there has to be others. I just had another recall fixed on this car. They just need to recall this entire model. Is there any chance 5.7L will also be recalled on this issue?
