I was driving on the highway with cruise and my car started to go limp, then started to accelerate without my foot on the gas. Then my check engine light came on and I pulled off and turned the car off and back on. It drove fine but when I went to have it checked they said it threw a code for my TCM. My coworker also drives a Chrysler 300 and had the same issue in the same week! He never got his checked out but his car stopped accelerating and then started again while on cruise. This is happening to a lot of Chryslers so I looked up recalls and it looks like the TCM was recalled in the 2016 300-??s but my 2015 and his 2015 is having the same issues

The center console and both front door panels need to be replaced as the panel is pulling away from the doors and the console. Research shows that when the panels on the door requires repair, this could render side front air bags ineffective and the car can easily lose heat and allow cold air inside. Similarly, with the center console, this could cause the p/n/r/d gears to malfunction. I did contact Chrysler (case# 80922998) as was advised that my claim was declined because the 2-year warranty had been exceeded. My car is a 2015 Chrysler 300. The issue did not start until 2020. Research also revealed that many of the Chrysler 300s are experiencing this issue. Also, I did have the dealer to take a look at the panels when I went to have my car serviced on 10/27/2021 and was advised to submit a claim with Chrysler. Finally, please note that my car is a 2015 with only 19,609 miles as of 10/27/2021.

First, the top of my dashboard came unglued. Second, front suspension has a rattling noise when driving of a bumpy road. Finally, my front head tend to swing back and forth instead of raising up smoothly when turning on my car. Hopefully I don't get any more problems with my 300 being that I just got the car in December.

The driver & front passenger door panels are separating at the top of the door where it meets the window. Took the car to Sierra Chrysler dealer & asked to fix the problem & he said this was common to happen with this model. Asked if it was covered under our warranty & he replied "no" but we could pay over $900 to replace each panel. We are disgusted after taking care of this car to find out the door panels are defective and its known by Chrysler. This should be repaired at no cost to me. This car has under 36,000, well maintained & the inside door panels are separating from the door.

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.

I purchased my 2015 Chrysler 300 limited two days short of a month. I bought it used from carmax, with 15K miles. I have put on about 1K miles so far, and I am noticing a burning smell - like heated ceramic, while inside the car when I am stationary, after the car has been driven for about an hour (highway and street). Smell is more noticeable outside the car (after I park) and when I looked under the hood for possible leaks - no leaks present, but the smell is coming from the driver's side of the engine. I have also noticed that the transmission is shifting a little harder between gears (not by much, but noticeable from how it drove a month ago off the lot). Use the vehicle for commute to work and running around town. I don't race the engine, and try to keep the gas mpg as high as possible (light gas pedal foot). Concerned that I see there were recalls for the alternator on previous model years - burning up and causing fires. Alternator is in the same area as the smell. No recalls or complaints on file for this situation for my year and model.
