Forward Collision Avoidance 1

“The forward collision warning (FCW) system does not function as designed. It is supposed to give visual and audible warnings as well as apply the brakes (if so selected). The system on my car gives the visual and audible warnings, but does not apply the brakes. I have experienced this several times since I have owned the car. I took it to the Chrysler dealer on 12/11/2020 and again on 3/28/2022 for this issue and their response both times was "there are no stored codes in the module and it is unsafe to test the system. Therefore the system is working as designed."”

How we read this (methodology)

How to read this: raw complaint totals are not a clean reliability score — a model year with more cars sold, or simply more years on the road, accumulates more complaints regardless of how good it is. So this page leans on two signals that are not distorted by sales volume: the share of complaints falling on each vehicle system (the breakdown above) and NHTSA's own crash / fire / injury / death flags. When we compare model years of the same model, we normalise by years on the road (complaints ÷ vehicle age) rather than comparing raw totals. Age-normalised, the 2019 Chrysler 300 draws about 7.5 complaints per year on the road, ranking 9 of 14 among the Chrysler 300 model years we have ingested (1 = most complaints per year on road).
