My car has 122,760 miles and has had multiple fuses blow repeatedly. In the last 2wks. Today is 06-21-2023 I can change a fuse and it will blow within 15miles. Also the trim going around my windshield has disintegrated. It literally crumbled into pieces when I touched it. I noticed this almost 3 yrs ago.

My uconnect radio did a firmware update. And my rear view backup camera, and my satellite radio with my navigation system stopped working. Along with my throttle body error light came up. Also the car was parked in the driveway standing still.

1. Rear differential failed before 100,000 miles. I was driving and I heard something metal fall in the back of the car. I pressed gas but was not able to move. After inspection and call for help, the part that fell on the ground was the rear differential. How can it just fall out while driving? I had to get it towed and repaired by a mobile mechanic. 2. The sunroof switch is faulty. Several times it has gotten stuck and won-€™t close. If it starts to rain, I have to pull over on the highway, cut the car off and on a few times and press the button until it closes. The sunroof will move forward like it-€™s going to close but doesn-€™t; it moves back and forth like it-€™s stuck on something. 3. The shifter is incredibly rough and hard. It sounds like something falling out of the car every time I shift from park to reverse and back to park. Very loud and the entire car jerks when shifting. There was a previous recall but the problem still persists. I-€™m afraid something else will fall out while driving.

Both ac actuator keep going out intermittently and even after replacing continues to, which results in unable to change the temperature. Took it to a mechanic possible something is wrong with the factory wire harness. This happens every day, both actuators don't seem to work at the same time. Happens when in motion or stationary.

On Monday morning December 23rd approximately 4:15 am. On a rainy weather condition, I was driving on the 91 eastbound freeway going about 60 mph, I was on the 3rd middle lane, near green river road, all of a sudden my steering wheel felt as if it locked on me, my car started to veer to the left and I couldn't break or release the steering wheel, I knew I had lost control at this point, bracing myself, I hit the head on the center divider, I spun out of control ended by hitting the rail on the right shoulder, full impact. My bags did not deploy, I have a chest contusion as a result of me hitting the steering wheel full force and compression fracture on my thoracic vertebra number 7 as confirmed by the ct body scan/X-ray from the er. Please, someone needs to help me out here.

My 2015 Chrysler 300S has a dial gear shift that will not go into gear. I reside in nd and thought it was the frigid weather. The cars dial shift was stuck and II had my two children with me in the cold -40 temp and -30 windchill. I had to walk to get help and leave my kids in vehicle. After being stuck for 4 hrs, I tried it again and the shift went into gear. It never happened again until Oct 20th at 10:38 am. The weather was nice but the shift once again left my kids and I stranded after parking at a thrift store. After several tries and 1 hr the gear worked again. I'm a widow with 2 under age kids and need a reliable vehicle and this is not it. The radio changes stations when it wants, and the heated seats and heat work when used. The heat on the driver's side works when it feels but the air does blow. There is just no heat!! for North Dakota that's not good !! my car is christine or you built a dangerous unsafe car !! now, I have to pay to have it fixed and the dial shift will cost me $400, the seats $300, and the electric problems are starting at $500 per bismarck repair shops, including Chrysler!! I am taking my car to eide Chrysler October 27th at 9 am and will have to pay labor costs with whatever extra they charge because this vehicle was built ppor and unsafe!! the vehicle was parked and off both times. When getting in to start it, the shift would not work. The first time was very cold, the second was a nice day. There's no rhyme or reason for these experiences.

Cluster failure while driving on the interstate at 65mph. This happened at approx. 45K and now at 75K (mileage). The module is completely not operating, constantly flickers and blacks out. No fuel monitoring, tire pressure, engine coolant temp., etc. Please investigate quality and manufacturing to recall this item. Also, the 2015 challenger has been recalled for the same issue, fyi.

While walking out of the store the car would not unlock by using the fob. When I opened it manually and pushed the unlock button, it still would not unlock. I had to have everyone climb in through my door to get to their seats. The next day the car would not lock with the fob and by manually pushing the buttons. I have now taken it in twice and they have not been able to fix it. At random times and days the doors either do not unlock, they will lock and not let people out, or the trunk will not open. It happens with the fob or by pushing the manual buttons. For being a brand new car it has been very frustrating that no solution has been found. It has stayed at the dealer for 3 weeks and after getting it back not 2 weeks have passed where it happened again. I just took it in again this week and received it back so I am waiting to see if it is fixed or if it will happen again.
