2013 Chrysler 300C: problems, recalls and reliability

“C.e.l came on when car was turned on and when taken to dealership I was told the esim was bad. Cost me $640.00 to replace this module. On a car that has low mileage and isn't that old I would think that this repair is not normal. I was told had this not been repaired the the fumes would have built up and if I was rear ended then this could have caused an explosion.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Dec 2018

“Car lost all power while driving. Stuck in the middle of an intersection.everything was locked up. Stranded for 2 hours waiting for aaa. I know there is a recall on the alternator. We took the car to oliver c joseph chrysler in belleville, il. They say - they don't have the parts. They can order the partsbut we will have to pay for the repair and wait to get reimbursed by chrysler. At least $850 in repairs. I can't pay $850! Why should I have to if this is a recall. The dealer confirms this was an alternator fire. I need chrysler to fix my car.”Owner report · Electrical System · Dec 2017

“My engine started to make strange sounds when pulling into a parking lot. When I came back out, there was smoke coming out from under the hood. I quickly drove it to another parking lot where the engine just quit working all together. There was no power in the system. I had to get a tow truck take it to a automotive garage where they replaced the alternator and the battery, which was fairly new, with a new one because it wouldn't hold a charge. . I'm glad I wasn't driving the car when it quit. The total bill was a little over $850 for the tow, alternator, battery and labor. Is this covered under the warranty?”Owner report · Electrical System · Dec 2017
