Description of the problem	I have contacted chrysler corp customer service about a few of the safety issues i have experienced with my chrysler 300 limited. No heip! I have experienced the gear shift getting stuck in drive. After going onto a chrysler forum where many other 300 customers experienced the same thing i found a quick fix to allow me to drive the car to a local repair shop using a screw driver. Long story but yes i had to stick a screw drive into the gear box to release the car into drive and out repair cost $175 i was informed my vin wasn't a part of the recall! Next issue the cooling fans in front of the car. I was getting some food at drive thru. As soon as i drive in line i heard a loud bang one of the fans mounts became loose and the fan blades hit to side wall and broke. $500 later to replace and yes again there was a recall for that but not my vin!!!! Final straw my son and i where driving home from a game it was raining. Both of us notice the smell of smoke coming from the vent it was faint but consistent. We luckily didn't have far travel home. When i pulled in and turned the car off i opened the hood a lil bit smoke and because the rain was hitting the engine it made a lil bit more of smoke. So i closed it and went inside. The next day i noticed both the passenger head light and fog lights weren't working. I checked the fuses, good. Went up to get replacement bulbs. The employee at the store had a [xxx] of a time trying to removing the light from the harness. We noticed that the plastic was melted and dis colored. When i got home i got a look at the fog light harness it was factory fogs and the harness was melted black plastic. So i had to order replacement fog lights and head lights $475. Im thankful we where blessed that the car didn't fully catch fire because no amount of money could replace my son!! There is 3 more electric issues at this time!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
