Chrysler 300 2021 Vehicle keeps stalling, turning off while driving or if stopped at light or stop sign to loan just shuts random times and not Al way but enough to be dangerous when it stalls on freeway or in traffic Seat belt Driver seat belt just broke, split in half- safety issue. They replaced it but the metal seems to cut the seat belt and it probably will happen again Safety recall on Takata airbag, after replaced-air conditioning stopped working very concerning
The cruise system malfunctioned. In multiple scenarios (at least three) when the cruise control was set, if the accelerator is pushed while the cruise control is engaged, the vehicle will continue to accelerate even if the accelerator is released. Disengaging the cruise control via brake usage or by hand on the steering wheel does not stop the unwanted acceleration. The only way to stop the acceleration is to move it from in Drive to Neutral. At that point, an error populates on the dash and the acceleration stops...

with cruise control disengagement as well. The issue is fixed upon placing the car back in Drive. Unsolicited acceleration puts the driver and others on the road at risk. The issue has not been presented to a dealer or service center for review and has not been inspected by other entities. No dash messages or warnings occurred prior to the failure.
The contact owned a 2015 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that upon pulling out of the driveway and driving downhill, the engine shut off inadvertently, and the vehicle accelerated unintendedly.

Yesterday I experienced an SUA incident and nearly lost my life. I was entering a freeway and began to accelerate my car. Suddenly I felt as if the gears kicked and the car began to accelerate on its own to max revolutions. I pressed down on the brakes to see if it would stop and there was heavy resistance. I took my foot on the break and the car began to accelerate and rev completely on its own and the engine felt as if it was going to explode. I luckily was able to jam my foot on the break and pull over to the...

emergency lane and eventually come to a full stop. From there I put the car in park and removed my foot from the break pedal. Again the car began to jump to full revs with the engine screaming. I turned the car off and on several times and this continued to happen. After waiting one hour I was able to start the car and drive 20 mph back to my home and I will have it towed to a repair shop shortly. If I panicked or was not strong enough to press down on the brake pedal, the car would have accelerated to full speed and I certainly would have died and likely other people would have too.
The cruise control stopped working.
CAN C BUS: its a typical issue with the 2011 Chrysler 300. The main code for the CAN C Bus "U000200" after the scan tool, the issues found are ABS Can C Bus off performance: BCM (Body Controller Module) Can C Bus off performance, SCCM (Steering Column Control Module) Can C Bus off performance, Radio Frequency Can C Bus off performance. All affect the safety and driveabilty of the car. The car drives and in the midst of driving the car stalls in traffic, the car vibrates really bad, the car seems to lose power on acceleration. Please take a look into this, as this is a common issue with the Chrysler 300.
Driving on garden state parkway, suddenly a bang from car, no power transmitted to wheels, had to coast over to right shoulder, in traffic, warning light came on after car stopped, never before, "service awd system". Car only has 62,400 miles, no prior warnings. Had to be towed off highway,vehicle inoperable pending repair. I found information online about failure of bolts on driveshaft of awd system, and a recall by fca usa of 75,000 2014-2017 chrysler 300's and dodge chargers in february of 2017. I checked for recalls on my vehicle 0n 1/16/21, and there are no open recalls.
The main grounding wire passenger-side engine block contact point had corrosion(rust) limiting electrical current flow to the wiring harness. This caused too much current to flow to 2 smaller 16 gauge grounding wires attached to the rear of each hemi cylinder head to fry. This directly affects the ccn bus communications to the cpu. Any device, module, or sensor attached to the ccn bus can have intermittent behavior. Examples of very bad behavior in my car: 1. The alarm randomly going off while parked or when...

driving the car. 2. While parked and the alarm set the sunroof decided to open up during a rainstorm filling my car with 3 inches of rain. 3. The 300c doesn't use a throttle cable. It utilizes a throttle position sensor that communicates with the cpu over the ccn bus. Just touching the gas pedal was the same as pressing the gas pedal to the floor. It's a good thing that when this happened to me there was no traffic on the road and I was close to home. Since this is ccn 2-wire twisted pair bus communication issue anything that communicates with the cpu can have a random intermittent problem. Since these cars are getting older I have to think that there are other cars that are or will have similar issues. Pray to god that your throttle doesn't stick wide open like mine did. I had to keep my foot buried on the brake while I was screaming down the road until I was able to turn off the ignition. Have fun coming to a stop or driving home after that happens. Formally I was an i2c bus communications(2 wire bus) expert at both intel corp and cisco systems. I know what I am talking about. Today I talked with a bremerton chrysler/dodge/jeep technical service representative about this issue. Bottom-line over $3000 to fix. There may have been somebody somewhere that is dead because of this factory defect and no one is the wiser. Why not a factory recall issue?
The anti lock break and electronic stability control lights come on. When this happens speed control is deactivated. According to the dealership, it is an issue with the sensors, as I have had two of these replaced over the past 6 months. My account manager made the comment to just "replace" all of them as this is a regular problem. The cost is excessive, coming in at $400 per sensor. The lights have now come on a 3rd time, so the account manager was right. The date was august 26, 2020. The car has less than 60,000 miles, so I am beyond frustrated.
There is a recall on this car but chrysler will not cover repairs be cause it was in an accident car is in very good condition. It is a rebuilt salvage and the registration is in ct. I think they are responsible for repairs because air bag was never deployed on pass side. Far right front and undercarriage on lncident report only. Also control modules for cruise control will not allow you to turn it off short circuit in vehicle wiring . If a rebuilt salvage can be sold to me by a dealer that is unsafe why can't chrysler stand behind there recalls. Oh the car is in very good condition an I love it. Can you help me please.
In 2018, the cruise control on my 2012 chrysler 300 limited was acting intermittent. I would press the button it would work and sometimes not. I brought it in to my hemet ca. Chrysler dealership and they replaced the cc switch. Now, 2 yrs. Latter it's happening again...I tried it a few times while on the highway/in-city and it didn't work. Later on our way home, I tried it again and it worked. I'm still under warranty, but it costs me $100 every time I bring the car in for a warranty repair; hopefully when I bring it in this time, for the same problem that they were supposed to fix, they won't charge me...R/john...
