The Chrysler operators manual/Chrysler.com explicitly states that "the blind spot monitoring (bsm) zone starts at the outside rear view mirror and extends approximately 20 ft (6 M) to the rear of the vehicle." None of Chrysler's manufactured vehicles meets this safety specification. Instead, the bsm detects a vehicle approaching from either side lane only when the vehicle approaches the bsm vehicle after it has reached the bsm equipped vehicle's rear bumper, or just 6 to 7 feet behind the rear view side mirrors, instead of the published 20 feet. This is a serious safety issue that does not allow enough time for the driver of the bsm equipped vehicle to change lanes safely. Chrysler is erroneously stating/publishing specifications to the purchasers of their safetytec products that cannot and are not met by the current monitoring sensors. The bsm system is part of Chrysler's safetytec plus group package that has a msrp value of $2995. I have driven other vehicles with the Chrysler bsm package and none of the driven vehicles meet Chrysler's description/ specifications for the bsm to alert the driver of an oncoming passing vehicle. The bsm system does alert through triangle lights on the side rear view mirrors and audibly alerts the driver, but not until the oncoming vehicle is next to the car equipped with the bsm safety. The bsm alert comes on too late to prevent an accident. The bsm system does not perform as described by Chrysler publication and dealer description to new car purchasers. In addition, I drove Jeep and other 300 vehicles equipped with bsm and each of these vehicles had the same safety concerns. I met with the supervisor of services at my Chrysler dealership and we went for a test drive. He stated that the bsm is monitoring and working as designed, but not as explicitly specified Chrysler in Chrysler publications and owner and operating manuals.

I have had the car to the dealer twice for this same issue and it's back again. They said it was something that was not done correctly when they can was made. Say it a problem with the wiring harness, the repaired it last time and I fee it should have been replaced and not just make an attempt to repair. I purchased the can brand new and expected them to stay by their product and replace any problem parts that are found. Now I have to take off time from work again to have this issue addressed. The car can be parked and the day time running light with come on and go off at will. The front parking sensor will stop working out of the blue because I get an error message on the dash. Then it will just start working again. Same with the front right fog-light does the same thing come on and goes out at will...

I purchased 2018 Chrysler 300 touring in April.14.2018 I have less than 5K so far this's secondary use, it was summer when I bought it, when it's start getting cold in Ohio about month ago I noticed that the transmission slipping so hard on low gears 1st,2nd and the 3rd till 4th gear. I'm a mechanic I'm working for Honda in marysvill plant so I'm really good on how to to figure out what's going on in any vehicle this's my job, so I start tracking the temperature for the transmission after 2 weeks watching that I noticed the temperature when I start the vehicle will be about 35-40 F and when I leave the car to warm up for at least 5-10 minutes the temperature it's not gonna be over 70F and this's completely bad on the transmission and the clutchs and I have the evidence for that. This problem should be taking care of as soon as possible. Thank you
