2008 Chrysler 300 Problems, complaints & recalls

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2008 Chrysler 300. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after purchasing the vehicle. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle's mileage was 136,000. It was later discovered upon checking a Carfax report with a local dealer, the mileage was 183,000.

I informed the dealership of ignition switch recall shortly after purchasing vehicle. The dealership stated " the VIN number shows no recalls". And that was it said there nothing showing up. I KNOW ignition switch is messed up because every time I would turn the car off I could still feel it running. I've had my car a year and now it will not crank due to ignition switch and now fuel air intake is also messing up and has caused cylinder 6 to miss fire. I have been without a vehicle for a month now and I need it fixed. When test driving the car, it would slow down as I was turning into a place of business and almost getting hit by another vehicle.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V567000 (Electrical System); however, the repair failed to prevent a failure from occurring. The contact stated that several days after the recall repair was completed, the contact had to adjust the ignition switch to start the vehicle. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

Engine stall immediately following fuel tank fill up. Chrysler refuses x53 lifetime extended warranty. Service bulletin 14-002-14 Applies to 2005-2006. I own 2008. Identical car. Identical problem. Happens every time fuel is filled.

There is a fuel smell in the car, for the first 1/4 tank of gas. The smell is really bad in the back seat. After the car is under 1/2 tank the fuel odor begins to subside. Passengers in car begin to have headaches and upset stomachs. After veiwing other chrysler forum's - I believe this to be common with this style of car and an extreme Safety issue

Dealer is unable to order the recalled air bag. I had it in to be fixed a month ago, verified with dealer they had the part before I made the appointment. Took it in and they advised it is on backorder. Called 1q/10 and they advised they are NOT ALLOWED to order the part. What am I supposed to do?

While stopped at a stop light, one of the radiator cooling fans (plastic) disintegrated, severely damaging the radiator beyond repair. Engine coolant was quickly lost. We pulled off to the side of the road. We had to replace the cooling fans and radiator.

I have a 2008 chrysler 300 and chrysler has stopped providing updates to the navigation system in 2018. This is very dangerous as the navigator provides prompt to turn on the road which no longer exist as well as traveling on highways which are shown to be in the middle of a forest or swamp.

I bought this vehicle, thinking it was great. I tried driving it home, and never made it. I lost all power on the highway in front of the semi. In return I did not have brakes, I didn't have steering, all lights turned off, and to top it off it wouldn't start again. I've replaced the pcm, starter, alternator, the power distribution, all the fuses/relays, and here I am still spending hundreds of dollars to try to get my vehicle to work again, and it's not seeming possible. I have 2 kids and now once I get it started...

I had a recall to replace ignition switch, had it replaced and returned to shop and they told me that the starter is going out. Replaced starter and the ignition is doing what the recall stated. Sometimes it starts on acc and sometimes not at all. So I replaced the starter when it was the switch all along.

We had the ignition serviced a few years back then it sat inop until recently now the same problem with ignition only this time it wont shut off

Purchased 2008 chrysler 300c about a month ago. Interior has odor of gasoline. I googled and read about the issue. Seems it is not uncommon and some folks have found cracked pump or a need for replacing the seal of pump. I don't see any fuel sitting on top when I pull up the rear seat. Usually smell after car sits for awhile then seems to dissipate while driving.. Could it be something else in engine? This is an everyday occurrence with the odor.
