2013 Chrysler 300 Exterior lighting Problems

“The headlights on this model are the worst I have ever seen. Forward vision is severely limited and side vision is practically non-existent. The only incident I have had so far is impact with a raccoon that damaged the front fascia but the raccoon could just as easily have been a person or larger animal. Chrysler needs to address this issue promptly before there is a fatal accident.”

“At 7:30 pm on the fdr drive approaching exit 17 at about 45 MPH. My Chrysler 300 went completely dead while driving with my children in the car. No warning the car just came to abrupt stop sliding for about 10 feet before fully stopping. The engine went dead the light went off I couldn't steer nothing on the car works, never seen anything like that in my life. Thank god it was still bright out so I can and other driver was able to see me to avoid hitting the car otherwise we could of been dead or a very nasty accident. …”

“I have a 2013 Chrysler 300s. While driving at a speed around 45 MPH in city driving, car stalled in the middle of an intersection while turning left at front of oncoming traffic.

All issues identical to the NHTSA campaign number: 14v634000. …”

Even with the high beams on, it was difficult to see the road. I took it to the dealership the next day and they adjusted the headlights to the upper limits. I can now see better with the low beams, but the high beams shine into the trees. When I took it back to the dealership again, they said that there was nothing they could do beyond what they had already done. …”
