I'm complaining about the win module, i've had so many problems with this. not knowing that's what it was, i went out and bought batteries for my fobs...worked for about a week, my car beeps all night long so i took the backs of the fobs so that the battery would not have contact. that helped with the beeping. but i have had so many problems with the car starting, had to sit places until i could get it started. so i go on chrysler s page only to read about problems with the win module, and it states that there"s many many of the 2008 chrysler 300 with this problem. and it also states that if it fail while driving the car could shut off. my complaint is if chrysler know this why don't they have a recall on the cars. so many people complaining that their car want start, but when it's taken into the shop, the part is on back order, and then when the part come in and installed you have to get another key fob and it programmed to that module. that key is a total of $289.00. i was quoted, and most people have 2 keys. that price is $289.00 each. this is not right, if it's that many complaint it should be recalled. the price for repairs was $760.00 plus 289.00 twice and not to mention car rental. *js

Since the first occurrence, this has happened many, many times .. the engine will not turn over either with the key fob in the ignition or remotely. at times i have had to keep attempting to start the car for as long as 20 minutes before it finally turns over. you can hear something that sounds like electrical relays in the rear of the car, but the engine doesn't seem to engage. other issues: on one occasion, the car stalled while at a stop light. on several other occasions, while sitting at a stop light, it seems the rear axle is making a "clunking" sound and it feels as though the transmission is downshifting without any input from the driver. i bought this vehicle used a couple of years ago. *tr

Ignition switch issue is still not resolved. i called chrysler and they told me that there is no eta on when they are going to receive the parts to get my vehicle fixed. i have recently had issues with my car not starting at all in addition to the ignition switch sticking. i took it to the local shop and they fixed the ignition relay. after that, i received the ignition recall from chrysler. chrysler is refusing to reimburse me for the ignition relay as they indicated that, at this time, they cannot confirm that it is part of the recall (relay failed due to corrosion) as the representative was not sure what would need to be fixed in the recall ?????? chrysler has also refused to provide me anything in writing of their denial of reimbursement for the corroded ignition relay. the representative would only give me her first name, [xxx], and no other assistance. she assured me that they would notify me when the ignition switch comes in and chrysler has a record of my call and claim. this is not very comforting knowing that i am driving with a safety recall and ongoing issues; no estimation on when the parts are going to be ready; let alone when it will be fixed. bad part in my car and dealing with a company that will not even give the courtesy of providing some type of documentation! i am required to rely on them to have a record of my individual issue when they cannot even give me an approximate date on when the parts will even be available. unbelievable!!!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
