“Speed sensor and sensor wheel hub have been replaced on two wheels to reactivate ABS and speed control that failed. Equipment error message appeared on my display screen informing me of the failure. Car was moving when the message appeared.”
NHTSA complaint #11255403, filed 2019-09, 39,000 miles“I entered the intersection cars were in front of me. I slightly touched my brakes and the car stalled and didn't and wouldn't get speed of exhaustion. A car came speeding the opposite direction and collided into the rear of vehicle. I contacted Chrysler recall center and they refused to take the car back or forward the call to upper management. I spoke with drake dm1915 this morning that wasn't helpful or sentimental to the issues. Very arrogant and unconcerned. …”
NHTSA complaint #10692931, filed 2015-03, 18,000 miles“In october 2015 I was driving driving my 2013 Chrysler 300 v6 awd (with 25,000 miles) on a two lane highway (cruise control was on) when I decided to pass a semi-truck that was traveling well below the speed limit. When I accelerated to wide open throttle (wot) to pass the truck I moved into the opposite lane and saw a car in the distance. I changed my mind, released the gas pedal, and applied the brakes; however, the engine continued to produce full power (appx 4,500-5,000 RPM) for another 4-5 seconds. …”
NHTSA complaint #10811849, filed 2015-12, 25,000 miles“The forward collision warning (fcw) does not work. Info I have received is that fcw was part of the adaptive cruise control (acc) and only works as part of that system. The Chrysler manual does not say that the acc has to be on for fcw to work. Fcw is a completely different topic from acc in the manual. Fcw is supposed to work when you come up behind a car even without the acc on. In my car the fcw activates at times when the acc is off and it picks up something on the right such as a car in front of me turning right onto another road. …”
NHTSA complaint #10692013, filed 2015-03, 1,000 miles“Attempt was made to accelerate from 65 MPH, to pass another vehicle. The accelerator was depressed and the engine immediately slowed, resulting in the vehicle's speed being reduced and causing potential harm from approaching vehicular traffic. There was no way to resume speed until several seconds passed and a slow acceleration was then possible.”
