I am a Chrysler employee and have access to the changes/bulletins. Recall: P60/NHTSA 14V-634 had the 160amp in 3.6L vehicles investigated in August of 2014 and submitted on 10/07/2014. The solution change was created on 09/12/2014 to perform a nik change for the faulty 160amp to solve the issue, this was done with 6322-04098-ccd for 2015 + future model years. The part number for the amp was 04801779ag and this change was making it 04801779ah. However, my 2014 Chrysler 300 that had the alternator go out on it 04/11/2017, had the pn 04801779ag. My complaint is that the cut off date on the recall was any buildout my 2011-2014 before December 23, 2013. I was informed my car was built out the following month. But if the part was never changed out of the plant and was never caught until after my vehicle was built, then why is my vehicle not apart of the recall? when the 160 amp failed, I was driving and it gave me little warning. I was unable to pull off to a safe location. I was blocking traffic due to this and had to pay for a tow truck. Recall number: P60/NHTSA 14V-634

I purchased this Chrysler 300 in 2014 and paid cash 25,000 and only have 17,000 because I fear for my life to drive it. On several occasion my vehicle has stopped while in motion without warning and the gear slips from drive to park. While exiting my vehicle after I have parked my car slips into drive causing me to stumble. On two separate occasions I had to call a tow truck to aid me because my vehicle would stop with warning. Once while driving on a highway my car stopped while traveling at a high rate of speed and went into park on its own, I notified the towing company and it had to be towed to a dealership. While at a dealership I was notified of a defect and they stated they would fix it. On a second occasion while attempting to park in my driveway the car continued to put itself in park and while trying to reverse my car went into park. After several attempts I again contacted a towing company where they towed me to another dealership where they again attempted to fix the transmission. Again after 2 years I am still fearful to drive my vehicle. I have made attempts to contact the dealership to no avail. My vehicle continues to move from drive to park and vise versa. Please help I have no other means of transportation, my husband has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer and I need this vehicle in order to work and take him to his doctor's appointment. At this rate we will both need doctors if I'm not dead first. This is my final attempt to get assistance with vehicle maintenance and repairs. Although the dealership has made attempts to remedy this situation, I continue to have problems with the transmission. I am completely terrified to drive my vehicle each time I drive.
I purchased my 2014 Chrysler 300C brand new from a Chrysler Dodge and Jeep certified dealership. Since the first day I purchased the vehicle I have been having problems. First started with the rear window shade malfunctioning while driving and front driver seat would not move forward or reverse the same day I bought the car, dealer said they would fix. Took more than two trips to dealer to get the problem resolved. Next at around 6000 miles I had cylinders misfire while driving, took me more than 3 trips to different dealers to get problem resolved. They did not tell me what caused the problem, just fixed it. About a month later I had alot of smoke and burnt smell coming from my engin while driving, dealer said a gasket was missing. I had air coming through driver front and rear doors. Took the car to dealer to get fixed, supposibly they fixed the problem but to this date I'm having the same problem with air coming through doors as I'm driving, now the worse problems are happening.on mid 2016 the rack and pinion gave out. On September of 2016 all my electrical system started to go haywire, windshield wipers on and off by themselves, gauges going up and down, transmission shifting by itself, lights on and off etc, this happend while driving on city streets, we pulled over turned off the car, turned it back on steering wheel was very hard to turn. Took to dealer. They said it was power steering pump. So they replaced. About a month later my wife was driving and the car accelerated to hi rate of speed by itself. After she gained control she drove home. Now 2 days ago we had the same electrical haywire malfunction, this time as all other electrical things that happened as last time the car accelerated by itself, we pulled over to gas station, tried to turn on and car was dead, had check engine light and etc light on.this car has become very dangerous for my family.

The mil came on as I turned on my car one day after work. I had flipped through the vehicle info and noticed that the oil pressure was at 99. I went to get the code read and found out that it was the oil pressure sending unit that is malfunctioned.

I was told that the Chrysler 300, 2014, was under recall, but I was never notified of the recall, I assume, since the car was under a lease agreement. The problem I experienced one day was the the car would not start and the car had to be towed. During the towing, the car was damaged in the front end and now rattles on the left front when the car hits a bump in the road. This car needs to be inspected and the damage repaired since the damage affects the performance of the car. In addition, the original problem caused the car to be scratched in several places and cost me a great deal of time and money. Please contact me so these problems may be resolved by the dealer that handled the repair, which was hayes Chrysler.

Another occasion while trying to use the heat, the vehicle continued to blow out cold air after turning the heat to high.
