2007 Chrysler 3 Series power train problems

“The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. The contact's granddaughter was a passenger in the vehicle. The check engine warning light and the Electronic Throttle Control warning light were illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the engine revved abnormally, and the vehicle started to move forward independently. The contact depressed the brake pedal to the floorboard. The contact used force to depress the brake pedal. The contact stated that after a while, the vehicle returned to function as intended; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, the brake pedal and accelerator pedal needed to be simultaneously depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the PCV vacuum hose had failed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The contact's brother inspected the vehicle and noticed that the PCV vacuum…”

“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. No codes show up but the abs light, esp bas lights are on, the brake light will come on every now and then without the brake being pressed and the car seriously just seems to have a mind of it's own.”

“My 300 has a glitch that causes me to put in neutral then back in drive I'm guessing because of a limp mode, I've had it worked on many times at the dealer in the 3 years I've owned it and spent thousands of dollars and not fix the problem. It done what 06V341000 said but my Vin is not effected they say”

“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”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE IN REVERSE.

“THIS IS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SUDDENLY JERK AS IT WAS ABOUT TO SHIFT. THIS WOULD HAPPEN MOSTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN, THEN ACCELERATING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2007 TO 2020! LAST OCCURRED SEPTEMBER 13, 2020.”
