I ARRIVED HOME AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE AND MY FIANC FOLLOWED ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER. I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AS I INTENDED TO GO OUT FOR A SHORT TRIP AFTER DROPPING HER OFF. WE WERE BOTH ON OUR DECK SAYING GOODBYE WHEN WE SAW MY CAR START MOVING BACKWARDS, THIS WAS ABOUT 60 SECONDS AFTER SHE HAD LEFT THE CAR. I ASSUMED IT WAS BEING STOLEN AS IT WAS RUNNING, SO I RAN OUT TO TRY TO STOP IT. I FOUND THE CAR HAD BARKED INTO A FENCE ACROSS THE ALLEY AND HAD STOPPED. THERE WAS NO DRIVER IN THE CAR WHEN IT MOVED. I MOVED THE CAR BACK AND BEGAN INVESTIG…

THE SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE AIR BAGS AND SERVICE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM INDICATOR MESSAGES CAME ON IN MY 2015 CHRYSLER 300C.

Owner report 11175973 · 2019-02-10 (February 10, 2019)
MY CAR IS TRAMLINING. IN OTHER WORDS, MY CAR HAS THE TENDENCY TO FOLLOW IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD AND ENDS UP YANKING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS WHENEVER THE FRONT TIRES FIND A RUT IN THE ROAD. THIS HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO DANGEROUSLY PULL TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ALSO, MY RADIO PRESET BUTTONS ON ENTERTAINMENT CENTER SOMETIMES DON'T FUNCTION WHEN INITIALLY STARTING MY CAR LEADING TO THE INABILITY TO CHANGE RADIO STATIONS. THE BUTTONS FOR MY HEATED SEATS AND HEATED STEERING WHEEL ON MY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER START-UP SCREEN SOMETIMES WILL NO…
