2014 Chrysler 300

Component: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 9 YEARS, AND TAKEN IT IN FOR NUMEROUS OIL CHANGES AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTIONS. ONE ITEM THAT IS INCLUDED TO BE SERVICED IS TO CHECK AND TOP OFF (IF NEEDED) THE POWER STEERING FLUID. DUE TO WHERE THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND PUMP IS LOCATED, THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND FENDERWELL COVER MUST BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE TWO PARTS. THIS IS QUITE A BIT OF LABOR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTION, YET THE SERVICE REP ASSURES ME THAT THE STEERING FLUID HAS BEEN CHECKED, EVEN THOUGH THE NOISE AND STIFF STEERING IS STILL PRESENT. MY CONCERN IS THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT CHECKING THE POWER STEERING FLUID DUE TO A FAULTY LOCATION DESIGN AND THE LABOR REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE PARTS THAT NEED SERVICING FOR ROUTINE MAINTAINANCE; THE ALTERNATIVE FOR THEM IS A PROFITABLE STEERING PUMP REPLACEMENT. FROM MY OBSERVATION, THE FENDERWELL COVER HAS NEVER LOOKED AS THOUGH IT WAS REMOVED TO CHECK THE STEERING FLUID.

When the weather is very cold or it is raining or snowing my sunroof leaks into my car. The windshield fogs up and I am not able to drive the vehicle and the rear seat and floor is usually wet.

I recently purchased this vehicle used with roughly 50,000k miles and drove it for three weeks with no issue. Suddenly, one morning, the motor would not start when pushing the Start Button. Instead the Start button became locked in the Run position but the engine did not engage. I removed my foot from the brake, pushed Start again and it would not return to the Off position. I opened the door thinking maybe it would reset this problem..... the entire dash Icons, headlights, Nav screen, tachometer, and speedometer start flashing and the windshield wipers are going, while stuck in in the off position. A very low pulsating sound is emanating from the engine compartment. I ran to the trunk to disconnect the battery, with the key fob in my pocket, but the button on lid does not open the lid. I run back to the dash and push the trunk release but received no result. I pulled the rear seats down crawled into the trunk and pulled the emergency trunk release and was finally able to open it. Instead of disconnecting the battery, I attempted to jump it with another vehicle. The vehicle was still in the Run position and all of the other components were continuing to malfunction as stated above. The vehicle "started" and began emmiting exhaust but I still had no response in the gas peddle. I then attempted to turn the vehicle to the off position, which worked only after jumping the vehicle and emitting the exhaust. Once the vehicle was shut off I attempted to restart the vehicle as usually and it worked no problem. It has started and ran fine for 2 days but I am extremely concerned about my safety in driving this vehicle due to reading other consumer experiences with a malfunctioning TIPM in this model and year of vehicle.

The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 300. The contact stated while driving and making a turn at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart. The contact stated that the vehicle had to be completely stopped, shifted to park, depress the brake pedal, and then depress the Push-to-Start button to restart the vehicle.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY. There is a backorder(700) from the factory on this product and the wait is at least 3 months! This problem has been confirmed by the dealership as well as the backorder. The vehicle will not go in gear even with the engine running. The message displays as vehicle is already in desired gear even when it is not, and you cannot put it unto any gear even neutral, as it gets stuck in park!. The code is PO658, and the CHECK ENGINE light is illuminated and can happen without warning while vehicle is parked, stopped or idling so far as I experienced. The ignition will not turn off and the battery must be disconnected in order not to drain the battery. If this were to happen in traffic or or an intersection we all could have been KILLED. It has happened 4 times to us, Two times it started working on its own and Two times requiring a tow which cost me $600. Once at the dealer they charge a $140 non-refundable diagnosis fee and then can't fix the problem because they don't have the parts and can't get them. I think allowing Vehicles to have electronic shifting transmissions instead of manual shifters is a HUGE safety risk! The car only has 70K Highway miles on it and even if it was under warranty we can't get the darn parts. The dealer has to install it because it has to be programmed. The transmission is manufactured by ZF in Germany and they make others for several other car manufacturers. Chrysler uses this transmission across their entire fleet so this failure defect could show up in any of their product line
