“On friday march 7, 2015 my car was parked outside of my home and the sunroof spontaneously shattered. I contacted Chrysler directly about my 300 s and was told to contact my local Chrysler dealership. Once I got in touch with the dealer they told me it's something they would have to contact Chrysler about and they are unsure if my warranty will cover it. The dealer stated they have never heard of such a thing before, however I've seen numerous reports.”

“Cabin air recirculate stops working. Chrysler says that is normal function. But when you are driving behind a diesel vehicle, you are stuck breathing that air, and it makes me sick. It goes on occasionally, but only for a minute or two. Then it goes off, and you cannot turn it back on. I have driven many miles in many climates and get the same result. I have owned a Chrysler 300 before and it did not function like this. Nor, any other vehicle I have owned.”

“My moon roof exploded on my 2013 Chrysler 300s. I bought it in august and on november 5th this occurred. I was driving 65mph down the freeway and heard a loud explosion that I initially thought was a tire but the wind I heard was coming from above me when my moon roof was closed. My moon roof shade was closed and I could hear sounds of wind and glass falling onto it. I did not see any debris coming at me when this occurred. If my moon roof wasn't closed I would have been showered with glass. …”
