2015 Chrysler 300 Complaints

UNKNOWN OR OTHER — Filed 09/15/2026

Finnegan completed manufacturer emissions recall UB4 (evaporative canister) on my 2015 Chrysler 300S, VIN [XXX], on [XXX]. After that repair the check engine light returned. Independent scan showed code P0456 on the same EVAP system. I asked Finnegan to inspect their completed campaign work at no charge. They required a paid diagnostic. Chrysler cases [XXX] and [XXX] were opened and closed; Chrysler said they cannot override the dealer fee. I did not refuse a repair. I refused a paid diagnostic on work already performed under a manufacturer campaign. I want Finnegan to inspect the UB4 work at no charge or explain in writing why a paid diagnosis is required.

2015 Chrysler 300S VIN: [XXX] Mileage: 198,677 Finnegan Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, [XXX], completed manufacturer emissions recall UB4 (evaporative emissions canister replacement) on this vehicle. After that repair the check engine light returned. On XXX, AutoZone scanned the vehicle. The only code stored was P0456, EVAP System Leak Detected (very small leak). The scan identified the Emission System Integrity Monitor (ESIM), which mounts on the canister, replaced under UB4. The dealer service advisor, [XXX], said the vehicle would have to be diagnosed again and that I would have to pay for the diagnosis if they found something other than the original recall item. She said a manager would call back. I did not receive a call back. I opened Chrysler Customer Care case XXX. I have not authorized a paid diagnostic or signed a paid repair order. I am requesting that the completed UB4 repair area and related EVAP/ESIM components be inspected at no charge. I am filing this report because the same evaporative emissions system set a leak code after a completed manufacturer campaign, and the servicing dealer required a paid diagnosis before inspecting that work.

This issue has been going on since February 2024. The vehicle will completely shutdown while driving ( no matter what speed I'm going ) it will say SERVICE THE SHIFTER and stop. The first time this happened I took (towed bc vehicle willl have no power since this a SAFTEY issue ) the Vero beach Chrysler dealership the vehicle to Commuter Cars in Port St Lucie which is the dealer I purchased the car from. They kept the vehicle for 2 weeks. I paid 644$ they said they replaced the shifter and that was the problem. 2 weeks later the same thing happened while driving , I took ( towed )the car to Chrysler . Chrysler charge me 200$ and said there was nothing wrong it was the safety recalls. 5 months later it happens again I take the car to Chrysler they charged me 1000$ and said it was some type of connecter . A month later it happens again I (towed) it to chysler they said the ECM shifter module had dried up coffee on it and they wiped it off and its working fine. They charge me 445$ said it needed a battery. Now it has happened again 2 months later and they are just now saying my ECM SHIFTER is bad. The service manager was rude and disrespectful. I have our conversation recorded. I said WHY am I just now knowing this after spending thousands of dollars towing this vehicle back and forth. My son and I could have been in a major accident because the car shuts completely down while driving. They never once check this and the car has been to them 4 times.

At least 20 times. Driving down the highway doesn't matter if driving straight or cornering. The engine dies. Once I get it stopped. I put it back in park. Restart the engine and it runs. There are no codes, and can't get it to duplicate the problem at the garage. I've searched the internet and this seems to be a continuous problem and no one is finding the problem. From what I've read dealerships are just throwing parts at the problem. This is a safety issue. My daughter was almost rear-ended today.

This will be my 3rd time having this [XXX] Plastic oil filter/cooler housing replaced and this will be 2nd time having done less than a 2yr time-frame... But this time; after getting the oil changed at Walmart today, my car was about to catch on fire from majority of the oil was running done on the passenger side of the car where the transmission sits and burning off of the Hot [XXX] Catalytic Converter! It's [XXX] shame that Chrysler/Mopar had more than enough complaints about this well known Catastrophic Issue and won't take any Accountability for it... That's why Dorman [XXX] and a few more companies had at least stepped up to the plate and created an better version, of the oil filter cooler housing. Not only is it better but is also all aluminum and doesn't warp or become brittle under extreme conditions from atmospheric temperatures nor engine heat! [XXX] which eventually manifest as severe oil and coolant leaks. The number of complaints regarding the Pentastar V6 oil filter housing and cooler assembly is staggering. See them here, at [XXX] . There have been so many complaints – with the OE replacements even, that Chrysler has discontinued the manufacturing of the Pentastar oil filter housing and cooler assembly. Even more surprising is that Chrysler has known about this problem for a long time and has never issued a recall.

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

1. Rear differential failed before 100,000 miles. I was driving and I heard something metal fall in the back of the car. I pressed gas but was not able to move. After inspection and call for help, the part that fell on the ground was the rear differential. How can it just fall out while driving? I had to get it towed and repaired by a mobile mechanic. 2. The sunroof switch is faulty. Several times it has gotten stuck and won’t close. If it starts to rain, I have to pull over on the highway, cut the car off and on a few times and press the button until it closes. The sunroof will move forward like it’s going to close but doesn’t; it moves back and forth like it’s stuck on something. 3. The shifter is incredibly rough and hard. It sounds like something falling out of the car every time I shift from park to reverse and back to park. Very loud and the entire car jerks when shifting. There was a previous recall but the problem still persists. I’m afraid something else will fall out while driving.

I PURCHASED A 2015 CHRYSLER 300 IN MAY OF 2015 BRAND NEW; ON APRIL 18,2016 I SWERVED TO KEEP FROM HITTING A DEER IN WHICH THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER TWICE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE CONCERN OF THE AIRBAGS NOT IMPLODING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS 'TOTALED.' I KNEW BEFORE I HAD EVEN CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THAT THEY WOULD USE THE SENSORS AS NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD AT LEAST OFFER ME SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION FOR WHAT THIS VEHICLE COST; A LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN LOST (SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN'T REPLACE) DON'T YOU AGREE THAT SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION SHOULD BE GIVEN?
