Took car in to dealer for power train issue where the car wouldn't go over 40mph. Same day my wheel locked causing me to crash. I got a report that this issue was a recall for other models not the 300c
Unknown, but based on what I've read and seen others describe happen to them I would say it's somehow connected to the park assist. But my battery loses voltage while driving, the car will start blowing hot or cold air which ever it prefers at the time without any heating or cooling system being turned on, the dash goes crazy the rpms, speedometer and everything else will drop to zero the transmission will start jerking and the service park assist warning will flash on and off repeatedly very fast then the car died while driving on the highway and refused to start even with a jump start. Replaced the battery twice in 2 weeks and the alternator as well and the car continues to do this randomly. …

Purchased this car few months ago. Monday feb. 24th, 2020 I was sitting inside my car when suddenly I notice a fire in the engine. I immediately grab my wallet and phone exited the car and called 911. The firemen came (fire was out by that time) . I had car towed to dealership (4460 mchenry ave, modesto ca 95356 central valley Chrysler, Nissan) they had car for couple of days and today called me in to tell me that a rod shot through the oil pan (I assume it occurred after fire started because I did not hear anything prior to fire and was not driving car when fire started). They tole me that it needs a new engine but they need to do more research on car and go into engine (which I guess is a big task). …

The vehicle has had two owners in the same family and has very low mileage (66000). The issue began in October of 2018. While driving on city streets at 40 MPH the indicators on the dash began flickering and making noise. This continued intermittently for three months but could not be replicated at an independent mechanic. Then in January of 2019 while driving on the freeway at 65 MPH the same issue happened except this time there the speedometer went to 0 but the car could still be operated. The car was taken into an independent mechanic who attempted to diagnose the issue for over a month but had no luck. As instructed by the mechanic the car was brought to the dealership where it was purchased brand new in 2006. The dealership kept the car for 6 days in February of 2019 and could not diagnose the issue, charging the owner a $240 fee for nothing. …
