300C stopped on me, what the heck???????

My father was driving my car and he calls me and said why won't your car start (instantly pissed I am). I say what do you mean, he says I drove it then parked and turn off as anyone would, then went back later and it would not crank up. I drive his truck (working fine might i add) over to my car and try to start it and no damn luck. I am a dark young man but I'm now turning red. Dealership said they will send a tow for me. Anybody heard of this same problem, please let me know.

PS. Please pray for the tow truck driver if he asks me one stupid question.

Probably just a loose battery cable connection. Don't hit the poor tow truck driver.

At least you get a free rental car...

It's only the start. Remember its a first year, new design, first RWD new car and its a Chrysler.

Hmm did u guys try pull the car in drive then back in park. Depending on the driver sometime if you pull the car up fast stop it and put it in park and cut off the engine short after, sometimes the computer gets confused and think the selector is not in gear or in a drive gear and will not allow the car to turn on.

yeah, whatever happened here? Did you figure out why it wouldn't start?

Finally got my car back today. They really don't know what was wrong with the car. They put in a new computer or something like that. Then they said that the keys didn't match the computer. Then they had to get me a set of new keys. Long story short I got my car, but now one headlight is out, the lo beam left light is now out. at least I can fix this myself. I hope.

Is your dealer a 5Star ?

Seriously. Man, this dealer sounds like a pain in the ass...

I'm hoping you don't have HID's. You'll understand what I mean when you go to buy one to REPLACE the one that is out (hint - $).

Personally, I would make the dealership REPAIR it, but I'm sure you'd just rather have your car at this point.

FYI, for you guys with HID's, they SHOULD last a long long time - probably in the vicinity of 100,000 miles on the vehicle (average). They occasionally fail, and usually dealerships will pick up the cost and REPLACE them - although I think it's fairly new to Chrysler so they may not.

Take it to the dealer, don't mess around with the projector lights...But, that's just me... :?

Yes Dealer is a fivestar and a pain in the ass, and yes I am in deed happy to have my car back. The funny thing is i realized that my light was out a couple of blocks away FROM the dealership, but I was so happy to get my car back, I was not trying to let it sit in their for another second.

Maybe you can help decorate the waiting room. It looks like you may be spending lots of time there.
