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…

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED POSTCARD STATING OUR CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED AND SAYING TO TAKE IN FOR REPAIR. I CANNOT FIND THAT POSTCARD AND WHEN I CALL DEALER THEY SAY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED THEREFORE I CANNOT BRING IN FOR REPAIR. WHY DID I RECEIVE THIS POSTCARD IF REPAIR NOT NEEDED AND WHY DOES EVERYTHING SAY CHRYSLER 300 2015 ARE AFFECTED AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT ON RECALL LIST? I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE A CAR THAT'S DANGEROUS!

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…
