300C 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 97,000 miles

We bought this car Sept 6th from a dealership "as is". The following week all of the dash lights and meters started to go haywire. They will randomly all come on momentarily and then go off. Had the alternator and battery checked today, all appears fine there. What I am questioning isif it is the liability of the dealership to fix this if it is within the first 30 days of purchase or is it that optional to the individual dealership? Are there any alternative lemon laws that apply to this situation? Is there a solution to this problem, or something I should bring to the attention of the service department?

The dash on the chrysler 300c will just start flashing and most of the time it will go out for a few days. Suddenly, it comes back on like nothing happened. There is no set frequency except it happens a couple times a month. The dealer will do nothing unless they see the issue and we were lucky on one occasion it happened just as we pulled into the dealer service center. They had to replace the entire Dashboard computer module. After about 6 months it started again

300C C 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 31,100 miles

At numerous times all dash lights and gauges will go on,flash, up,down and head lights will go off originaly switched in the Automatic position. Must than turn headlight switch to manual on or stop car and restart which everything is than restored to normal. Been to Dealer twice they first found multiple flashes on CCN, WCM, FCM and PCM. I was advised that all software updates were installed for these coded modules. Also lots of electrical spray cleaner was used but I was not told that by the service rep. I know from the smell. In less than 350 miles at night it did it again three time in 20 minutes. Took it back to the dealer and they could not duplicate the problem therefore advising they could not fix the problem.

This is a real safety problem when driving at night and all the lights go out. I know to switch to manual to restore headlight but my wife would not know what to do even if told! From what I have read in your reports this is a comon problem. The Dealer Service Rep indicated to me twice that my problem is one of a kind. Someone doesn't know what they are talking about and it is sure not me!

All of the warning lights will occasionally begin flashing on and off, and the instrument gauges won't work (speedometer, fuel level, etc), and the headlights stop working. Happened 3x today.

300C C 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 49,300 miles

Well, l'm driving and all of a sudden out of nowhere all my dash lights come on at once and begin to turn off and on, along with the A/C, and the head lights. I of course stop the vehicle and turn the engine off, when I turn it back on everything is back to normal. Or at least that's what l think, this has happened at least 3 or 4 time to date. Just today a few minutes ago my headlights would not come on in the A (Auto) position until l shut the engine off and restarted it.

300C SRT 6.1L V8 Hemi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles

Problem described to me by my mother after having to deal with this problem one day.

Just purchased this car used and one day the memory seats would not go into the proper position. She reprogrammed the seats and left for the day. On the way to work the entire console (radio, nav system, dashboard) flickered and shut off, and did not turn back on until the engine was restarted. Hasn't happened again afterwards.

  • Automatic transmission

All of the warning lights will occasionally begin flashing on and off, and the instrument gauges won't work (speedometer, fuel level, etc), and the air conditioner will stop. Once the car is turned off, and then restarted, the problem usually stops. Have taken to the dealer twice, and they can't find problem.
