Car won't start...I hate this car!

Okay for today's problem. I drove the car last night and it ran fine (except for the other stupid problems like rediculous rattling and malfunctioning electronics) but this morning the car would not start. I didn't leave any doors open or lights on. I'm possitive. I tried the remote start first cuz it's cold out. Now the remote start from the factory is hit or miss anyway. Sometimes it works but sometimes it only turns my radio on. Today it just made the horn sound and flashed some lights. Love that remote start! Anyway, after that I just went into the car to just turn it on and all it would do is go "click-click-click". Also, the heat was running so I turned it off but the heat kept running, even in the off possition! Also, one headlight kept turning off and on randomly. Clueles I hooked a battery charger up to it cuz the EVIC was giving me strange readings like 0mi and turning off and not working and the interior lights were really dim. I let it sit for a moment and I put the key in the ignition and I got a really strange noise from the speakers. Kinda like the noise from an 80's horror movie. LIke a lazer beam shooting. Not continuously but kinda like it made the noise and faded out quickly. I have it sitting on the charger but I don't know. I wanna sell this POS! I have only had it for 5 months and I hate it!!!! NOTHING BUT RETARDED PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!

Got it started..but I still hate this car. Sorry to bug you guys with this but I do. I hate this car! It's got crazy rattles. So bad that I don't want people in the car. The auto windows work when they feel like it's a good time to work. The Passenger mirror sometime says "I know he's backing up but I'm too lazy to move today!". The nav needs me to press enter like, a Bob Dillion times before I can accept the user agreement. If I have the auto wipers on and it's not raining, the wipers will come on when I use the turn signals......but wait, there's more!
I gotta run. Gotta finish Christmas shopping. Honestly, I'm scared that I'm going to get stranded.......(pos)

I love my car too.

Funny, it wouldn't start yesterday...haha. I hadn't started it in over 3 months. Boosted it with my truck this morning and it started right up.

I still love my car...haha.

He just falls in and out of love too easily. Either that or he's finding love in all the wrong places!!!

Did I say I loved my car?

Hey, Consumer Reports recently added the 300C to their RECOMMENDED list!
What more do you want! What a whiner!

But seriously, our cars are computers on wheels. Bad hardware/software is probably causing most of your problems. The rattling is a bugger which requires persistence to fix.

Sounds like you are using a dealership that has no talent with electronics. These cars have 9 computers on board and an hour with a competent electronics technician using the Chrysler StarScan technology will fix most of the issues you are having.

I have had 3 of the LX cars - a 300C; a Magnum R/T and a 300CSRT8. Not one has ever let me down and I have a great service tech who gets the gremlins out.

Now, mind you, those that know me, know that I really baby my rides . . .

Oh trust me I baby my rides too! I actually love the car but I think I have to face the fact that I did get a lemon. I've always driven GM untill I picked up a 92 Cherokee beater with 200k on the clock. I beat the piss out of it for 4 years and it never caused me one problem! My buddy still drives the thing! Since then I fell in love with Chrysler. I had a lifted 93 Grand Cherokee that was a dream I even had a 2005 Magnum for 2 years without a single glitch. Trust me, I LOVE the 300C SRT8..I just hate mine! I think it's a lemon.

And I'm aloud to whine after spending a good chunk of change for a car with more problems than a $1000 92 Cherokee with 200k miles , don't you think?

Yes, absolutely you are allowed to whine!
Not fair to call you a whiner if you have all the problems stated in your earlier post.
Sounds like a problem with your remote start draining the battery.
Like Northern Rider posted get it checked out by a competent electronics technician and you should be ok.
Good luck
Gary
