The 2014CHRYSLER300 carries 319 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 27 crashes, 4 fires, 18 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall 5/5 rating, with 5/5 front crash, 5/5 side crash, and 4/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2014 300 is electrical system with 71 filings, followed by power train (68) and engine (25). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 8 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 88 investigation files overlapping the 2014 300, and 7 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration. Use the related-complaint feed below to read raw owner narratives before deciding whether any pattern here affects your specific use case.

As I was driving my car felt like if it went on neutral. I almost crashed. Stopped. Then it would not come off of park. I kept putting it on drive and it automatically kept going into park mode. The car was still running though. And turns on. It still wont drive. Turns on but doesn't go onto drive mode.

Valve , computer in transmission stoped working , no communication.
My backup camera works when it wants to mostly not at all. It just flickers when I put the car in reverse. I really need it because of the blind spots. Also since the fuel issue was recalled and fixed my car smells like it's not burning the gas properly. In other words I can smell fumes.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 9 YEARS, AND TAKEN IT IN FOR NUMEROUS OIL CHANGES AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTIONS. ONE ITEM THAT IS INCLUDED TO BE SERVICED IS TO CHECK AND TOP OFF (IF NEEDED) THE POWER STEERING FLUID. DUE TO WHERE THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND PUMP IS LOCATED, THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND FENDERWELL COVER MUST BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE TWO PARTS. THIS IS QUITE A BIT OF LABOR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTION, YET THE SERVICE REP ASSURES ME THAT THE STEERING FLUID HAS BEEN CHECKED, EVEN THOUGH THE NOISE AND STIFF STEERING IS STILL PRESENT. MY CONCERN IS THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT CHECKING THE POWER STEERING FLUID DUE TO A FAULTY LOCATION DESIGN AND THE LABOR REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE PARTS THAT NEED SERVICING FOR ROUTINE MAINTAINANCE; THE ALTERNATIVE FOR THEM IS A PROFITABLE STEERING PUMP REPLACEMENT. FROM MY OBSERVATION, THE FENDERWELL COVER HAS NEVER LOOKED AS THOUGH IT WAS REMOVED TO CHECK THE STEERING FLUID.
When the weather is very cold or it is raining or snowing my sunroof leaks into my car. The windshield fogs up and I am not able to drive the vehicle and the rear seat and floor is usually wet.

I recently purchased this vehicle used with roughly 50,000k miles and drove it for three weeks with no issue. Suddenly, one morning, the motor would not start when pushing the Start Button. Instead the Start button became locked in the Run position but the engine did not engage. I removed my foot from the brake, pushed Start again and it would not return to the Off position. I opened the door thinking maybe it would reset this problem..... the entire dash Icons, headlights, Nav screen, tachometer, and speedometer start flashing and the windshield wipers are going, while stuck in in the off position. A very low pulsating sound is emanating from the engine compartment. I ran to the trunk to disconnect the battery, with the key fob in my pocket, but the button on lid does not open the lid. I run back to the dash and push the trunk release but received no result. I pulled the rear seats down crawled into the trunk and pulled the emergency trunk release and was finally able to open it.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY. There is a backorder(700) from the factory on this product and the wait is at least 3 months! This problem has been confirmed by the dealership as well as the backorder. The vehicle will not go in gear even with the engine running. The message displays as vehicle is already in desired gear even when it is not, and you cannot put it unto any gear even neutral, as it gets stuck in park!. The code is PO658, and the CHECK ENGINE light is illuminated and can happen without warning while vehicle is parked, stopped or idling so far as I experienced. The ignition will not turn off and the battery must be disconnected in order not to drain the battery. If this were to happen in traffic or or an intersection we all could have been KILLED. It has happened 4 times to us, Two times it started working on its own and Two times requiring a tow which cost me $600. Once at the dealer they charge a $140 non-refundable diagnosis fee and then can't fix
