Windshield seams unhinged, the interior panels buckled and unhinged obstructing airbags, and wiper dispenser malfunctions causing poor visibility while driving. I've experienced every disappointment and near dangers of uconnect to having the system replaced with the same brand to no avail. I have date stamped pictures depicting the unsafe issues. I even went back to the dealership of purchase to get answers. They confirmed having knowledge of all issues I mentioned but they have done nothing to repair, replace, or provide suggestions.
The sunroof is leaking and water has ran into the radio causing the touchscreen to start going crazy and can not operate a lot of the functions it does. It ended up turning on defrost and fogging up the windshield and I ran into oncoming traffic. I have brought this to my dealer on multiple occasions and they will not repair said the car is out of warranty.it will also call people on the phone And trying to hang up have taken my eyes off the road and have had several close calls with it doing this.
I was driving behind a truck #155. Usdot1605061. When a rock cracked my windshield. I was in the left lane on highway on my way to work. Toward daphne and spanish fort. It was right after leaving the tunnel. It was driving in front of me when it happened. I was good distance away. Police report #m2190903231
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving the sunroof exploded without impact. The contact coasted to the side of the road and noticed the front part of the sunroof had exploded, as a result the front passenger sustained wrist injuries but did not require medical attention. The vehicle was able to drive to the contact's residence. The contact called mac haik Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram flowood dealer (4000 lakeland dr, flowood, ms 39232, [phone]) and it was informed there will be a fee for the diagnostic and repairs. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer due to the diagnostic and repair fees. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. The VIN was not available.
45000 miles the dashboard cluster all of dash goes total out no speed no tachometer, no gas, all temp gauges and traction control go out. The radio and the rest of the console go black as well. Car will not turn on also you can not use alarm system to enter vehicle. Dome light does come on. Tried to jump start doesnt effect car as its not the battery its some other computer issue. As tow truck hauled car the car came back to life from the jolt of road bumps. Dealership states can't find anything wrong with car. Viewed several cars with similar symptoms. I have video of so far 2 occurrences . This has happened while driving and also while parked so its random.
On Friday March 7, 2015 my car was parked outside of my home and the sunroof spontaneously shattered. I contacted Chrysler directly about my 300 s and was told to contact my local Chrysler dealership. Once I got in touch with the dealer they told me it's something they would have to contact Chrysler about and they are unsure if my warranty will cover it. The dealer stated they have never heard of such a thing before, however I've seen numerous reports.
