2006 CHRYSLER 300 Problems

POWER TRAIN

272 complaints

Vehicle stalls when idling or coming to a stop, mainly at low RPM. No codes are thrown. Gas tank has been replaced and fuel pump is new, still stalls. There are many reports on the Chrysler 300 Forum regarding the same situation. Many people have thrown good money after bad towards parts and still there's issues. I have my car at the Moss Bros Dealership in Riverside Ca. now for 5 days to try and repair this Safety Issue! 3/28/23. Car has stalled approximately 20 times, 4 times which were on the freeway. The car will start up and run fine for several days and then it acts up. Could be a number of things, but with no codes, pretty hard to diagnose the stalling issue.

On 11/15/2022, the consumer had a scheduled service appointment at Hendrick Chrysler motor vehicle dealership located at 1628 Montgomery Hwy, Hoover, Alabama, regarding stop drive recall ZD1, S43, and R25. The consumer was directed to sign insurance related paperwork to have the recall service performed. The consumer explained that the service was related to a recall and would not sign any insurance related paperwork. The consumer was advised by service personnel that the recall service would be performed and the motor vehicle was left with the service department to have the recall service performed. Shortly thereafter, the consumer was advised via telephone call that the recall service would not be performed. The consumer does not believe that any insurance paperwork is applicable to have recall service performed. Because the motor vehicle dealership and/or the motor vehicle manufacturer have been unwilling to provide service regarding the stop drive recall(s), the consumer is requesting guidance from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for resolution.

My car poses a safety hazard to me and any others who ride in the car with me, due to the defective Takata airbags that were placed in my vehicle under the Takata airbag recall. Without my consent or knowledge, Dominion Chrysler of Bedford, VA replaced both front Takata airbags (driver and passenger side) with 2 more defective Takata airbags! How is this legal or safe!? I only found out about this dirty trick, by reading an article online, and then I called my dealership and they confirmed that they did indeed replace my defective Takata airbags with 2 more defective Takata airbags and that I would get safe, non-Takata airbags in the future, under the recall. When? They did not know. I had the first airbag replaced in 2016 and the second one replaced in 2017. When will I actually receive safe, non-Takata airbags under this recall? My vehicle is NOT SAFE TO DRIVE and yet Chrysler and The United States government purposely put defective and potentially fatal Takata airbags in my car, not once but twice? I don't have another vehicle to drive and I can't afford to discard this one and buy another potentially dangerous vehicle. I am nervous about driving this vehicle every time. So what am I supposed to do? What are millions of others supposed to do? Neither the FCA or NHTSA ever informed me that I would be getting a second set of defective Takata airbags under this recall. How many others are just as unaware as I was? It is now July 2022 and I need safe non-Takata airbags, like I was promised, under this nationwide recall, NOW. All unsafe Takata airbags need to be replaced today under this recall. How many more people need to be injured or die, due to these defective Takata airbags? No amount of money can compensate for loss of health or life. Please do what is right and what you promised the American People you would do! UPHOLD AND ENFORCE THE LAW AND GIVE US SAFE NON-TAKATA AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

192 complaints

I have had issues with fueling the vehicle as when I fuel it I am only able to get a few cents in at a time before the gas pump clicks off or gas starts coming out of the fuel filler neck itself. At most I have been able to fill up my tank halfway but when I try to fill it a few cents worth of gas above halfway, I have engine stalling issues. To try to solve this issue I replaced all the external fuel vapor parts (charcoal cannister, EGR valve, PCV valve, purge solenoid, gas cap, and leak detection pump). The issue is clearly a problem with the internal components of the fuel tank itself. Chrysler has a X53 lifetime warranty for my type of vehicle but only for 19 gallon fuel tanks and my car has an 18 gallon tank. However, NHTSA investigation PE13-016 has shown that the defect (a swollen vent valve) affects both sizes of tanks. Chrysler said that the X53 lifetime warranty on the defective tank is VIN specific and would not cover my vehicle because it has a 18 gallon tank. Now my vehicle dashboard is saying that the gas cap is leaking but the gas cap was just replaced thus this further points to a pressure issue within the tank. Chrysler dealerships will not help me and contacting FCA resulted in them just telling me to contact a dealer to check if the warranty is available for me.

After Fueling on several occasions the vehicle just abruptly stalls out and it's very dangerous I notice that there is recalls on other 2006 Chrysler but mine isn't on there but I am very concerned about this as it could cause me to get in a accident

Jun 13, 2025

gasket around fuel pump failed allowing gas to pool on top of fuel tank under the back seat on passenger side . this resulted in a strong "gas/fuel" smell from fuel vapors colecting inside the car and the obvious risk of ignition/explosion and negative health effects of breathing said fumes .the vehicle has not been inspected yet because we are afraid to start the vehicle let alone drive it to the shop . We are making araingements to have it towed to the repair shop . we have not had any warning lights . Mechanic said it was a common problem with seal failure around fuel pump . the vehicle has 127,000 miles

Jan 06, 2025

There is a fuel leak coming from the rear right side near the right rear wheel. Fuel leaks when the tank is full.

Mar 13, 2024

Once fueled, the engine will consistently stall from start to cruising speed, and has even shut off while driving. There was an issue with Chrysler fuel tanks evap valve sticking open, which causes this fault, however I have not received any assistance from Chrysler or any authorized dealer.

While driving my Chrysler when I stop at a red light or stop sign the car will simply stall out and die so I put it back in park and recrank it and sometimes it'll die immediately after that and sometimes it'll wait till the next red light or until I'm making next stop. And when the car is in park it'll stall out I'll simply have to crank it right back up sometimes it'll stall out immediately after that and sometimes it'll run for a minute or two and then stall out. But as long as I got my gas my foot on the gas while I'm breaking at the same time it won't die

The car engine just stops when in idle or while driving . I have almost been rear ended several times on the highway and on the city streets. the engine just stops running and the car shuts down.The car had a recall for the tank and fuel o ring which was suppose to fix the problem but it did not brought it to the dealer again had it replaced again problem still existed . Went back to the dealer they said they could not duplicate it then i drove it it stopped and i turned around and brought it back then they duplicated it . I have been replacing parts that have nothing to do with the stalling problem. it is currently in the dealer as we speak. this problem started when i had 64000 miles on it then it progressively got worse

Car stalls out when driving. Almost was rear-ended, broadside, front ended and sideswiped too many times to note! Have new gas tank per recall. Still stalls. Dealership has witnessed stall but can't locate problem and charges me 150.00 for useless diagnostic test and still not able to find stalling problem. Dealership doesn't care. Laughed at me. Had it in shop several times. Nothing. I'm disabled and on fixed income. Dealership attempts to have me purchase new vehicle. I can't afford one! Stalls out when turning, stopped and while maintaining consistent speed. Can't fill up gas tank or stalling is worse. Can't let tank run under 1/4 full or stalling. I'm barely able to drive anywhere due to fear of stalling and getting hit. Chrysler seems to not care. I told service manager that if I or someone else is hurt or killed its their fault for not fixing or caring about owners of this car. Death and injuries are going to happen cuz this is so dangerous and horror filled! I don't know what else to do. My beautiful 300 is not safe. I am basically carless. This has been going on for almost 4 years with no resolution or kindness. I almost was hit by a gravel truck when attempting to push car out of road! IM DISABLED!!! I can't go anywhere without being afraid it will stall at anytime for no reason. Dealership has checked repeatedly and diagnosis tests and even left car at dealership for days and still no resolution. They really don't care. I once loved Chrysler and now I am full of fear and anger that Chrysler doesn't care. There is numerous complaints about the same problem. Dealership did suggest I have a full tune up at several hundreds dollars! HA! Said a tune up will not fix it and nothing showed on diagnosis a need for tune up. Car runs beautiful when not stalling! My heart is broken. What's the point of charging me 150.00 for nothing? Then laugh when car stalls as I leave dealership. Guess that's how poor people are treated.

OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE THE VEHICLE STALLS. IT HAS BECOME A GIVEN THAT AFTER I FILL MY CAR I KNOW AT SOME POINT WITHIN THE FIRST 5-10 MINUTES I WILL START HAVING PROPULSION ISSUES. THE CAR DIES WHEN I'M SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I'M AFRAID TO TRY AND ENTER A FREEWAY DIRECTLY AFTER REFUELING BECAUSE IF I GO TO HIT THE GAS IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TO GO FIND A PARKING LOT AND REV MY ENGINE FOR A WHILE TILL I THINK IT'S SAFE TO PROCEED. I SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS AFTER REFUELING MY CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THE COMPLAINTS AND NHTSA REPORTS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE ANY RECORDS OF ANY FUEL ISSUES WITH THE SRT MODELS SO MY BEST BET WOULD BE TO GO TO MY DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. *TR

While driving at speed limit car dash lights all light up and car stops running. You loose steering, brakes all electrical lights. Car may restart and power restored and if not must stop car if possible to restart. Happens randomly! This is a continued problem. Has happened more than 10 times and seems to be having this problem more and more often. No one knows how to fix problem.

When car is cranked and put in gear or stop car will go dead. When driving if I ease off gas and then reapply the gas car will stall which can be quite hazardous while driving. The problem was intermittent has been going since I have had the car thought the tank recall would fix the problem which it we thought had corrected the problem for a time. But it became intermittent at first it was every few weeks and now it does it whenever I drive the car several times as I drive recently I am now afraid to try and drive it especially any distance. The gas tank was replaced due to a recall. Have replaced fuel tank and thermostat. My mechanic isn't sure what is going on. I have seen various forums where others are having the same problems with their 2006 Chrysler 300 C's and have taken them back to the dealer and they have not been able to determine what the problem is. I feel this should be investigated.

Car traction light pops on and the engine raves up high. I turned it off and pump brakes but it continues. When I backup traction pops on. I got coils and brackets put on prior to it doing this. If I lock the car door a lot of times I can't get in. I've called tow truck so many times. Even after replacing battery. Once it's opened with the jimmy and I crank it up. The key remote will work. When I try remote a few hours later it won't work. I don't leave important items in the car due to someone coming in my lot and rummaging through it.

Shifter into park have to tap it all the way to the left after car is off to remove key from ignition or car stays on.

Dec 29, 2022

The car is prone to intermittent stalling, in which the engine cuts out without warning or signs of stumbling. Often it happens at idle or when initially accelerating from idle, but has also happened several times at speed, up to 40 mph, with accompanying loss of power steering. Sometimes the engine kicks back on after a momentary loss of RPMs, if at speed, but other times it does not. I have brought it to two Chrysler dealerships and three independent mechanics in an effort to find the problem, with various parts being replaced, including the X53 extended warranty for the 19 gallon fuel tank, but the problem persists without successful diagnosis. Only one of the independent mechanics was reportedly able to replicate the condition. Usually, the check engine light, electronic throttle control light, oil light, traction control, and electronic stability lights turn on during a stall, and sometimes the check engine light stays on. The car may several trips without a stall and then stall multiple times in one trip. It usually does not generate a code, but sometimes produces P0700 and U0100 codes. The car always starts again following a complete stall. These symptoms appear fairly widespread in 2006 Chrysler 300 vehicles, based on car owner forums. The level of fuel in the tank does not appear related.

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAIT FOR A MINUTE OR SO AND IT TURNS BACK ON AFTER RESTART IT.. INITIALLY IT WAS ONLY DOING THIS AS I WAS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY. THEN AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AT THE STOP LIGHT. IT PROGRESSED TO TURNING OFF AS I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE AND THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AT THE LEAST. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE STREET WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE CAR TURNS OFF. IN A STRETCH OF FIVE MILES, IT HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE APRIL 3 AND THE DEALER STILL CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, THEN THE SPARK PLUGS. THEY STILL HAVE IT AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

2006 Chrysler 300 Touring 3.5L V6 engine. Car has intermittent stall at slow speeds or at complete stop. Sometimes feels like it stumbles, other times it dies suddenly and unable to tell the engine shut down. I have to put car in park and completely switch the ignition fully off and turn back on to start position. When it stalls while rolling, I have to brake and bring car to full stop, with no power steering, and go through the same start procedure. No trouble codes are generated, and no check engine light indicator illuminated. Car usually starts right up, but sometimes I have to keep cranking starter, stumbles to catch as if starving for fuel. A/C was on first two times but also happens with A/C off. Research online reveals an open recall for the fuel tank on the 300C model with a 5.7L or 6.4L engine. Problems described on the 300C model are nearly identical to what my 300 Touring is experiencing. PCM replacement does not correct problem. Some noticed it happening only with a full tank. Stopgap measure is to only fill no more than 3/4 tank. I am currently testing this idea. The safety issue is significant and twofold; three times I have had one other adult and two children in the car. While stalled at a major intersection traffic signal trying to restart the engine, other vehicles approached from the rear at 50-55 MPH. A rear end collision with children in the back seat would likely be fatal. Secondly, during a stall event while the car is moving, it is extremely difficult to steer the vehicle to a safe place, and braking takes significant pedal pressure once power assist bleeds off. This is a serious concern and obvious collision hazard, as I may not be able to stop or steer to a safe location or avoid a hazard. I had the car at the dealer for over three weeks in July 2024 and they were unable to duplicate the issue. Their answer was to drive car until it happens more frequently. This is unacceptable. No other solution or repair was provided.

Everytime I fill the gas tank the car stalls out several times and then stalls when deceleration and turning.

Jan 27, 2023

When fuel tank is filled beyond 3/4 of a tank the engine stalls. I've been in many scary situations where this happened. I bought a new car because I was scared to drive this one. Upon learning there was an issue I contacted my local dealer who said a new fuel tank would be ordered and I would be contacted the next week to have it installed. 2 weeks later I contacted them and was told they had to diagnose the problem. After discussing the issue the dealer assured the tank was being ordered. Hopefully the problem will be fixed with the replacement tank - it remains to be seen. Why is this not a recall? It is a safety issue when a car stalls while being driven. Age of the vehicle should not be a factor - this car only has 66,000 miles. I am the original owner

PURCHASED A 2006 300C SRT8 IN 2014. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTER THE 1ST REFUELING THE CAR STALLED AND BUCKED AND THEN AFTER A FEW MILES CALMED DOWN. I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS BAD GAS. DURING THE 2ND REFUELING, WITH 93 OCTANE, AND JUST AS THE FUEL CLICKED OFF, THE ENGINE STALLED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN EITHER SITUATION. THE CAR WAS WORSE THAN THE LAST TIME. THE CAR STALLED AT EACH LIGHT ALL THE WAY HOME. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES AND THEN IT STALLED AGAIN AS I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER CONCERNING THIS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ONLY ORDERING 6 REPLACEMENT GAS TANKS A MONTH AND THAT 95% OF THE TIME AN ADDITIONAL FLEX PIPE OR TUBE BREAKS DURING THE REPAIR PROCEDURE AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ADDITIONAL COST. WHAT KIND OF A DEAL IS THAT? I THOUGHT WARRANTY WORK WAS TO BE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ON 8/8/2014. ONE WEEK AFTER MY PURCHASE I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND SOON AFTER THE CAR WOULD STALL WHEN IDLING AND/OR AT LOW SPEEDS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE UNTIL IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. I'VE SPENT THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS DOING RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE. MY SITUATION IS EXACTLY LIKE THE COMPLAINTS THAT WERE MADE THAT CAUSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS WHEN PUTTING MY VIN NUMBER IN IT DOESN'T SHOW THE COMPLAINT. I WANTED TO LODGE THIS COMPLAINT THIS WAY WHEN I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CORRECTED I HAVE A POINT OF REFERENCE. ONE DAY I HAD MY SEVEN YEAR OLD SON AND 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, IT WAS RAINING AND THE CAR STARTED TO STALL AT ABOUT 35 MPH I TAPPED THE GAS TO PREVENT IT FROM STALLING. THE TEMPORARY STALL DISENGAGED MY TRACTION CONTROL AND I SLID INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THROUGH IT HOWEVER MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE DIED. I HOPE CHRYSLER DOES THE RIGHT THING FOR ME. *TR

A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STALLED OUT AND DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND ALL I COULD DO WAS TO LET IT COME TO A STOP AFTER TRYING TO STEER IT FAILED. CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL, IT ONLY MADE A SLIGHT NOISE WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT WENT TOTALLY DEAD. HAD IT TOWED HOME AND CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC. WAS TOLD THAT MY SPARK PLUGS WERE BURNED OUT AND THE OIL PUMP FAILED, THENHAD SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, THATS WHEN IT STARTED AND STOPPED FOR GOOD. THAT'S WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE OIL PUMP AND HE TRIED TURNING THE FRONT PART OF THE MOTOR IT WOULD NOT TURN, HE THEN TOLD ME I NEED A MOTOR. I'VE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE PROOF. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO THE CHRYSLER 300'S. I'M LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T GET HURT OR IN A BAD WRECK. IS CHRYSLER GOING TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM OR WAIT TILL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I'M JUST ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED OR REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, NOW I'M STRANDED AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A CAR. THEY NEED TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WAS ABOUT TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY. I ALSO BEEN HAVING COOLANT LEAKING AND CAR RAN HOT SEVERAL TIMES, COULDN'T FIND WHERE THE COOLANT LEAK WAS, HAD TO CHECK EVERY OTHER DAY AND ADD MORE COOLANT. NO COOLANT WAS ON THE GROUND UNDER THE CAR. BECAME HARD TO START AND HAD ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FREEWAY SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TO WAIT FOR IT TO COOL OFF BEFORE CHECKING AND ADDING MORE COOLANT, AND WAITED AWHILE LONGER BEFORE STARTING IT TO DRIVE HOME. CHR CHRYSLER NEED TO BUY THIS CAR BACK. IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF, LOOKS NEW, HAS NO DENTS AND NO RUST, INSIDE IS CLEAN, NO DAMAGE, ONLY LITTLE WEAR. I'M THE ONLY OWNER.

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 6.1L ENGINE STALLS RANDOMLY WHEN STOPPED, COMING TO A STOP OR CRUISING SPEED. SOMETIMES IT'LL TAKE MONTHS FOR REOCCURRENCE THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT HAPPENS WHILE, ENGINE STALLED. HAPPENS WHILE MAKE A TURN AT A LIGHT ALSO. STARTS BACK UP AND SOMETIMES STALLS INSTANTLY. AFTER LIKE THE THIRD STALL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ONLY FAULT CODE IS P0700. BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2015 AND LESS THAN TWO MONTHS LATER IS WHEN I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST OCCURRENCE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES THAT YEAR AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. ABOUT FIVE MONTHS LATER (2016) IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ENGINE STALLS OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T START SO I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER TWO MONTHS OF THEM HAVING MY CAR THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SO I AGREED TO REPLACE IT. TWO MONTHS LATER SAME THING AGAIN SO OBVIOUSLY THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WASN'T THE PROBLEM. MIGHT I ADD THAT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A HARD "BUCK" FROM THE TRANSMISSION, LIKE IT WANTS TO LOCK UP. I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND CHRYSLER CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM TERRIFIED EVERY TIME I'M IN THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I'M STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR BUT NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND HOW TO SOLVE IT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALLS OR UPDATES AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR.

ENGINE STALLS AFTER FILLING THE TANK. ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHIN 20 MILES OF COMPLETELY FILLING TANK. AFTER SECOND INCIDENT VEHICLE TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DEALER FOR A TUNE-UP, HOWEVER PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS OCCURRED ONCE WHILE ENTERING A PUBLIC PARKING LOT WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FORTUNATELY THE CAR AT LOW SPEED AND ROLLED TO A STOP BEFORE STRIKING ANYTHING. ON ANOTHER OCCASION THIS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE STRUCK FROM BEHIND. TEMPORARY FIX IS TO NO LONGER COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK, GUESSING AT ABOUT 3/4 TANK TO STOP FUELING. PARTIALLY FILLING THE TANK IS NOT A PROPER SOLUTION. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED.

Jun 16, 2014

THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT, BUT INFO FOR OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS WITH THE FUEL FILL/STALLING PROBLEM. WE JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER, TELLING US THEY HAVE ISSUED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAD OUR 2006 300 FIXED IN 2 DAYS! THE FUEL TANK AND INTERNAL VALVES WERE REPLACED AFTER REMOVING THE EXHAUST AND DRIVELINE. THE JOB TOOK 5-6 HOURS AND WE WERE NOT CHARGED A CENT! THE CAR IS AGAIN RUNNING VERY WELL WITHOUT STALLING. THANK YOU, CHRYSLER! *TR

Jun 02, 2014

THE CURRENT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL FOR ME IS THE FUEL. I JUST HAD A VAPOR CANISTER INSTALLED THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE BUT IT DID GET RID OF A FEW OF THE PROBLEMS. WHEN I FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SHUTTING DOWN AFTER A FILL UP, I THOUGHT THE GAS HAD WATER IN IT BUT IT'S NOT THE GAS. NO MATTER WHAT STATION I FILL UP AT, I HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS. THE CAR WILL DRIVE FINE FOR ABOUT 3 CAR LENGTHS, THEN IT WILL HESITATE, CHOKE, JUMP, TRY TO DIE, JERK FORWARD AND THEN FINALLY STALL AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. THEN IT WILL TAKE 3 OR MORE TRIES TO GET THE CAR TO RESTART AND IT MAY DO THE SAME THINGS OVER AGAIN FOR ANOTHER BLOCK OR TWO. THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IN THE FIRST 3 BLOCKS OF DRIVING THIS CAR AFTER A FILL UP, I CAN EXPECT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING AND I KNOW FOR SURE IT WILL DIE ON ME IF I FILL IT UP. IF I ONLY PUT IN 3/4 OF A TANK OF GAS OR LESS, I AM SAFE BUT IF I LET THE PUMP KICK OFF ON ITS OWN, I'M IN TROUBLE. THE ONLY THING THE VAPOR CANISTER DID WAS STOP IT FROM JUMPING AND JERKING, ALL THE OTHER SYMPTOMS ARE STILL THERE.

Apr 05, 2014

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IDLING. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR JERKS SEVERELY AND THEN TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION THAT WAS CLOSED ON FEBRUARY 10, 2014, AND CHRYSLER IS SUPPOSE TO BE OFFERING LIFETIME EXTENDED WARRANTY RELATED TO THIS ISSUES. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN HAVING CHRYSLER ASSIST ME IN MAKING SURE MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STALLING OCCURRED TWICE WHILE DRIVING UNTIL I STARTED TO RESEARCH IT. *TR

I ONLY HAVE 46,000 MILES ON THE CAR. SOON AFTER NOTICING IT, I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THEY WERE DOING A RECALL ON CONTINENTAL TIRES. LATER ON THAT SAME DAY, I TALKED WITH A FRIEND WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME CAR I HAVE. HE INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD SEEN THE RECALL ON THE NEWS AS WELL. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD CALLED THE NUMBER THAT WAS GIVEN FOR THE COMPANY AND THAT THEY HAD PAID HIM FOR EACH OF HIS TIRES AND ALSO REPLACED THEM. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THE COMPANY, BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF ANYONE BY PHONE NOR EMAIL.

2006 CHRYSLER 300C HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. IT GOES OFF REPEATEDLY WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH AN AUDIBLE BELL SOUNDING AND TIRE PRESSURES BEING DISPLAYED ON THE DIGITAL PANEL OF THE DASHBOARD. PROBLEM STARTED 11-12-08 UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS ATTEMPTED 20 TIMES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE FILED FOR THE LEMON LAW REPLACEMENT THROUGH CHRYSLER WITH NO AVAIL. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY ANYONE AT CHRYSLER DESPITE MY REPEATED ATTEMPTS AT RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. NOT ONLY HAVE I FILED FOR THE LEMON LAW REPLACEMENT WITHIN CHRYSLER, I HAVE ALSO FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE BBB OF MICHIGAN, THE KY. ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE WHICH REFERRED ME TO THE NHTSA DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARDS THAT THE CARS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM DISPLAYS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN USE. CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. CHRYSLER HAS ATTEMPTED REPAIR FOR APPROXIMATELY 11 MONTHS AND HAVE CEASED FROM COMMUNICATING WITH ME AS A CUSTOMER. I AM REQUESTING A FORMAL INQUIRY BY THE NHTSA INTO THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEIR LACK OF COMMUNICATION TO CUSTOMERS TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. I HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCED FOR 11 MONTHS AND AT THIS TIME CARDINAL CHRYSLER LOUISVILLE, KY. 502 449-1900 SERVICE MANAGER CHARLIE TRYA, HAS HAD MY AUTO ATTEMPTING REPAIRS FOR 1, 1/2 MONTHS. CHRYSLER HAS REPLACED THE TIRE SENSORS, THE DASHBOARD DIGITAL CLUSTER, AND THE RECEIVER FOR THE TPM. UNDER THE KENTUCKY AND MICHIGAN LEMON LAW, MY AUTOMOBILE SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT CONTACT ME BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE, AND ACCORDING TO THE LAW HAVE FAILED TO PROPERLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE IN AN TIMELY MANNER.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C DOOR HANDLES FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. AFTER A YEAR OR TWO WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE BACK EXTERIOR (CHROME) RIGHT DOOR HANDLE BECAME PARTIALLY DETACHED. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND SINCE THEN, THE VERY SAME DOOR HANDLE AS WELL AS THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS PARTIALLY DETACHED. ALSO, THE HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COMPLETELY DETACHED. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT. AS PRICEY AS THIS VEHICLE IS, YOU WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER WOULD USE THE BEST PARTS FOR THEIR VEHICLES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE HANDLES. WHEN I REPLACED IT BEFORE, IT COST ABOUT $200 AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THESE HANDLES WHEN CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE ON THEIR END. I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT MY CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE AFTER PUTTING GAS IN IT AND THE OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON SOMETIMES. MY HEADLIGHTS ALSO DON'T WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE TO KEEP THE HEADLIGHT KNOB IN THE AUTO POSITION JUST FOR THEM TO REMAIN ON OTHERWISE THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK ON AND OFF. SO DURING THE DAYTIME, MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE UNTIL AFTER I TOOK MY CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I ABSOLUTELY HATE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (HEBERT'S TOWN & COUNTRY) BECAUSE THEY NEVER CAN SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR THEY END UP CREATING ONE. *TR

ON MY WAY TO WORK I STOPPED AND PUT $15 DOLALRS IN THE TANK I WAS JUST BELOW A HALF TANK NOW. I DROVE ROUGHLY 5-10MILES AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING AROUND 30MPH THE OIL CAN LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN MY STEERING GOT TIGHT AND BRAKES GOT TIGHT. IT WAS LIKE THEY WENT OUT. MY CAR ENGINE THEN SHUT OFF AND I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER THE BEST I COULD. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A LARGE ACCIDENT. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT MADE NOISE BUT WOULD NOT START A COUPLE MINUTES LATER I STARTED IT AND THE CAR STARTED FINE.

2006 CHRYSLER 300. BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO DRIVE. THE CAR STARTING STUMBLING AND STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES, AND SPEEDS, ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT 80 MPH THE RPMS DROPPED TO 0 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED; IT ALWAYS JUST FLASHES. THEN JUST AS FAST AS THE RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO IT CAME RIGHT BACK UP. THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD LIKE I FLOORED THE PEDDLE. I HAVE MANAGED TO CAPTURE THIS ON VIDEO, BECAUSE IT WENT ON ACTING THIS WAY FOR SEVERAL MILES. THEN IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 150 MILES. THEN. IT RETURNED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY SAY NO CODES NO PROBLEM, THE FORTH TIME IT HAPPENED I GOT A CODE U0100 AND P0700. WITH MY SCAN TOOL BUT AGAIN DEALER SAYS THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THERE IS NO CODES. WHEN ASKED HOW WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IF THERE WERE NO CODES. THE ANSWER WAS THEY DID NOT KNOW. THIS PROBLEM STILL IS PRESENT TO THIS DAY. IT STILL STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. RATHER ITS PARKED OR RUNNING 80. THE CAR USE TO RESTART OK BUT NOW THE RESTARTING IS BECOMING AN ISSUE. I JUST MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT ON IT A FEW DAYS AGO. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A DODGE DEALER. HERE'S WHAT I AM GOING TO DO. ITS WELL DOCUMENTED (BY ME AND THE DEALER) THAT THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM. THEY SAY ITS SAFE, THEY SAY NO CODES NO PROBLEMS. SO IM GOING TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT AND IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG (HEAVEN FORBID) CHRYSLER WILL BE FUNDING MY RETIREMENT. SO THANKS CHRYSLER. I'M TRUSTING YOU AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVES. YOU SAY NO CODES NO PROBLEM. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS ANOTHER PIECE OF DOCUMENTATION. *TR

Nov 13, 2014

SINCE LAST MARCH MY CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 2006 IS TURNING OFF THE ENGINE WHILE IN MOVEMENT. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL OR AROUND 3/4. IT'S A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR MANY TIMES CONSIDERING THAT WHEN THE ENGINE TURNS OFF THE STEERING GETS HEAVY AND THE BRAKES DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. NOW I'M NOT CONFIDENT TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THE CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO HAVE A COLLISION AND HURT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I MADE A RESEARCH AT THE INTERNET AND I REALIZED THAT A LOT OF 300C OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IT'S CALLED AS ENGINE STALL. NOW I WANT CHRYSLER TO HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS MATTER CONSIDERING IT ALREADY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS DEFECTIVE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. IT WAS HARD TO RESTART, BUT FINALLY RESTARTED. WHEN PULLING OUT FROMT THE FUELING STATION, THE CAR BEGAN TO BUCK AND JERK INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, IT STALLED AGAIN. I RESTARTED THE CAR. WHEN I PROCEEDED WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR AGAIN STALLED. THIS OCCURED FOR THE NEXT 5-6 MILES, THEN STOPPED OCCURRING. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I REFILLED THE FUEL TANK. SINCE OOA 15 DECEMBER 2011, I CANNOT FILL MY FUEL TANK AND HAVE TO STOP IT BEFORE THE NOZZLE SHUTS IF OFF. IF I INADVERTENLY LET IT FILL UNTIL THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF (DOESN'T MATTER THE FUELING PUMP/STATION), IT WILL BUCK AND STALL FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MILES UNTIL SOME OF THE FUEL IS BURNED OFF IN THE TANK. *TR

VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING OR SURGE WHILE TRYING TO STOP WITHOUT NOTICE FOR UP TO THIRTY MINUTES OR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AFTER NORMAL FUEL UP (NO TOPPING OFF!). I SUDDENLY SURGED WHILE APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY VEHICLE NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION. WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO-LANE CURVED ROAD THE VEHICLE STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND NEAR COLLISION WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO STOP QUICKLY WHICH CAUSED A ROAD HAZARD FOR OTHER VEHICLES COMING AROUND A TIGHT TURN BEHIND ME. ONCE RESTARTED, I CONTINUED ON SAME ROAD AND VEHICLE DIED AGAIN IN A TURN ON SAME ROAD CAUSING THE STEERING TO GO OUT AGAIN WHICH LEAD TO VEERING OFF THE ROAD AND WITH THE POTENTIAL OF FALLING DOWN A 30 FOOT UN-GUARDED DECLINE. VEHICLE WILL STALL AND SURGE WHILE IN IDLE AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS ISSUE RELIABLY ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

THE PASSENGER SEATBELT INDICATOR LIGHT FAILS TO EXTINGUISH IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED WITH THE BELT IS SECURELY CLICKED. IF I WIGGLE THE LATCH, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OUT, BUT I WONDER WHAT EFFECT THIS HAS ON THE PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM IF THE BELT IS INDICATED AS UNFASTENED.

1. DRIVING ON AN OVERPASS. MADE A LEFT TURN TOWARD RAMP TO GET ONTO I5 NORTH. 2. DURING THE TURN, I HEARD AND FELT A HUGE "CLUNK" SOUND FROM THE RIGHT FRONT OF CAR. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THINKING I MAY HAVE JUST RUN OVER A ROCK OR SOMETHING. AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE CAR BEGAN PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AND EVENTUALLY BEGAN VIBRATING HARSHLY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. 3. BEING A "SHADE TREE" MECHANIC, I PULLED THE WHEELS AND CHECKED THE SUSPENSION. I NOTED THAT THE TIE ROD ENDS SEEMED TO BE SHOT. THIS IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING WITH ONLY 62,000 MILES! I PURCHASED THE PARTS AND REPLACED THE OUTER TIE ROD ENDS. I TOOK NOTE THAT THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIE ROD ENDS DID NOT HAVE ANY WAY OF LUBRICATING THE TIE ROD BALL JOINT. THERE WERE NO GREASE POINTS THAT WOULD ALLOW PROPER MAINTENANCE OF THIS PART. I REMOVED THE BOOT FROM ONE OF THE OLD ENDS AND NOTICED THERE WAS VERY LITTLE GREASE IN THE JOINT AND THERE WAS SCARRING ON THE BALL WHERE THERE HAD BEEN METAL TO METAL CONTACT BETWEEN THE BALL AND THE HOUSING. THIS CAUSED THE BALL TO WEAR PREMATURELY AND EVENTUALLY CAUSED THE PART TO FAIL COMPLETELY. A PART OF MY OIL CHANGE RITUAL IS TO HAVE THE LUBRICATION POINTS GREASED. TIE ROD ENDS ARE MOVING PARTS WHICH NEED LUBRICATION IN ORDER TO REMAIN IN GOOD CONDITION. THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER IS USING PARTS WITH NO PROVISION FOR LUBRICATION IS INSIDIOUS AND SMACKS OF EXTORTION.

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, THE CAR STARTS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND DRIVES OFF WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AS THE CAR SLOWS DOWN WHETHER STOPPING OR TURNING THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF.

I HAD JUST REFUELED (FILLED UP - DID NOT CONTINUE FUELING AFTER THE PUMP AUTO-STOPPED) AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION (ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES). I HAD JUST COMPLETED A LEFT TURN, APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, SO I WAS "COASTING" AT ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE DIED. LUCKILY, I WAS BESIDE OF A VACANT PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO VEER INTO THE LOT AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, IN DOING SO, I NOTICED THAT I HAD LOST STEERING CAPABILITIES AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A GOOD THING I WASN'T DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED AND GOING AROUND A CURVE, BECAUSE I WOULD'VE SURELY WRECKED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS STILL LIT UP (COMPASS, ODOMETER, RADIO STATION, ETC), BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER STOPPING, I PLACED IT IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE SWITCH AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THERE WAS SOME HESITATION, BUT IT DID START. CONTINUING TO MY DESTINATION, I COULD OCCASIONALLY FEEL THE CAR "SPUTTERING" OR HESITATING LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN, BUT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE I MADE IT HOME. HOWEVER, ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING AND BEFORE I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WANTED TO DIE AGAIN. I HAD BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, SLIGHTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND IT "SPUTTERED". IT CONTINUED "SPUTTERING" PERIODICALLY ON MY WAY TO WORK (6-8 MINUTE DRIVE). I AM REALLY BECOMING VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING OUR COUNTRY ROADS, IN FEAR THAT IT WILL SHUT DOWN AND I WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO SAFETY UNTIL I CAN REGAIN POWER. *TR

Crash: 1

Injuries: 1

WHEN I STARTED PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO SHUTTER BADLY AND STALLED OUT. IT STARTED BACK UP BUT IT IMMEDIATELY WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AS IF IT WASN'T RUNNING ON ALL CYLINDERS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE PUT IT ON THE SCANNER AND A CODE CAME UP STATING THAT THE #6 CYLINDER WAS FAULTY. WHEN RUNNING THE CAR HAS NO POWER AND YOU CAN HEAR A DISTINCT CLICKING OF THE MDS SOLENOID. AS IT CLICK ON AND OFF THE CARS IDLE WAS NORMAL THEN VERY ROUGH. SERVICE RECORDS ARE IMMACULATE, OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES WITH MOBIL 5-20 FULL SYNTHETIC. SERVICE SUGGESTIONS HAVE BEEN STRICTLY FOLLOWED. THE SOLENOID WAS CHANGED OUT AND IT RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 500 MILES AND THEN IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN, VERY RANDOM AND MOSTLY WHEN YOU GO INTO PASSING GEAR ON THE FREEWAY THAT'S WHEN YOU TOTALLY LOSE POWER AND IT SHUTTERS VIOLENTLY. WE CANT FIND ANYTHING FOR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX IT EXCEPT THAT IT MAY BE A BAD COMPUTER OR A CLOGGED OIL PORT IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. BOTH POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ARE VERY COSTLY AND I WOULD HATE TO SPEND ALL THAT MONEY AND IT NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM COULD VERY WELL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF BUT RECENTLY I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE STALL WHILE RUNNING WHEN I COME TO A STOP LIKE ON A TURNING LANE, AT A STOP SIGN, A SIGNAL LIGHT. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP WHILE RUNNING. WHAT I HAVE NOTICED IS THAT AS I SLOW DOWN FOR A STOP THE IDLE RPM'S DROP DOWN LOW AND MAKE THE CAR STALL AND THE ENGINE STOPS. IF I FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN I'LL PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND REV THE ENGINE TO KEEP THE RPM'S FROM DROPPING OUT AND STALLING. THE STALLING HAS COMPROMISED THE SAFETY OF DRIVING AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN OR IF IT WILL HAPPEN. THE CAR HAS WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO CODE SHOWED UP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE STALLING IN THE SHOP. I ALSO TOOK IT TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC WHERE IT COULD GET SOME REAL ATTENTION AND UNFORTUNATELY HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EITHER. HE DID CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY. I'M WAITING FOR THE CAR TO STALL AGAIN TO RETRIEVE THE SOFT CODE BY TOWING IT DIRECTLY TO THE SHOP. *TR

THE DEALER PERFORMED A COMPLETE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC - RETRIEVED CODE PO700 - RELATED TO LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH PCM TO MULTIPLE MODULES. (THEY MAY HAVE BEEN OLD STORED CODES.) THEN, THEY CLEARED THE CODES, ROAD TESTED THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER RETURNED THE CAR AND ASKED ME TO MONITOR IT. THEY INDICATED THAT IF THE ISSUE RE-OCCURS, THE VEHICLE WILL POSSIBLY NEED A PCM OR IGNITION SWITCH. MY IMPRESSION IS THAT THEY ARE GUESSING AT WHAT THE ISSUE MAY BE. THE DAY AFTER THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE SAME SUDDEN STALLING/LOSS OF POWER ISSUES RECURRED ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON. I WILL BE RETURNING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM TO DATE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SUDDEN STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM MARRIED WITH A 9 MONTH OLD BABY. *TR

MOST OF THE TIME, THE ENGINE WILL STALL AT A STOP WITH ALL GAUGES DROPPING TO ZERO. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING DOWN THE ROADWAY. ENGINE DOES NOT START SMOOTHLY. MOST TIMES IT TAKES AT LEAST TWO ATTEMPTS TO START IT. SOMETIMES UPON RESTART THE GAUGES REMAIN AT ZERO. UPON START, ENGINE WILL RUN FOR A BRIEF TIME AND WILL RUN MAYBE 1 BLOCK OR SO BEFORE STALLING AGAIN. IT WILL RUN WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL THE NEXT EPISODE. THERE MAY BE A SPREAD OF 3 TO 4 WEEKS BETWEEN INCIDENTS. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE SPEED JUMPS UP WITHOUT ACCELERATOR INPUT MAKING THE CAR LEAP FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE TO ME. SOMETIMES WHEN THE ENGINE IS RESTARTED AND PUT INTO GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY, BUT AFTER A VERY BRIEF DELAY CAUSING A "JUMP" INTO GEAR WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE. THE ESP BAS LIGHT COMES ON A MAJORITY OF THE TIME THIS HAPPENS. SOMETIMES THE GAUGES ALL DROP TO ZERO WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. ALMOST ALWAYS, I CAN FEEL IN THE RUNNING OF THE ENGINE THAT SOMETHING IS NOT QUITE (ALMOST IMPERCEPTIVE MISSING) RIGHT BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS HAPPENED AND ASKED THEM TO READ THE CODES. THEY TOLD ME MANY CODES HAD BEEN RECORDED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE

Yesterday I experienced an SUA incident and nearly lost my life. I was entering a freeway and began to accelerate my car. Suddenly I felt as if the gears kicked and the car began to accelerate on its own to max revolutions. I pressed down on the brakes to see if it would stop and there was heavy resistance. I took my foot on the break and the car began to accelerate and rev completely on its own and the engine felt as if it was going to explode. I luckily was able to jam my foot on the break and pull over to the emergency lane and eventually come to a full stop. From there I put the car in park and removed my foot from the break pedal. Again the car began to jump to full revs with the engine screaming. I turned the car off and on several times and this continued to happen. After waiting one hour I was able to start the car and drive 20 mph back to my home and I will have it towed to a repair shop shortly. If I panicked or was not strong enough to press down on the brake pedal, the car would have accelerated to full speed and I certainly would have died and likely other people would have too.

WHILE ON A CURVY ROAD AFTER DARK, AT 45 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN, DASH LIGHTS FLASHED AND WENT OFF, ENGINE DIED. 40 MPH ON A CURVY ROAD WITH NO LIGHTS. AFTER 20 SECONDS IT ALL CAME BACK ON. HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR 3 MONTHS. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS MOMENTARILY SHUT DOWN ON 4 OTHER OCCASIONS SINCE THEN. ON 12/08/15 MY WIFE WAS IN LINE AT THE DANDRIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PICKING UP MY GRANDSON. WHILE IN CAR PICKUP LINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED (SURGED FORWARD) THEN DIED. ENGINE DIED 5 TIMES BEFORE SHE COULD GET IT HOME. THIS WOULD BE CALLED A NEAR MISS ACCIDENT IN A WORKPLACE SETTING.CAR IS OPERATING NORMALLY AT THIS TIME. I HELD AN ASE MASTER TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION AND IN MY OPINION IT IS A DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL CONDITION. I REALIZE THAT SOMEONE MUST DIE IN ORDER TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND THAT IS A SHAME.

Dec 09, 2015

MY CAR HAS BEEN DISPLAYING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR FOR ABOUT THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. THE MORE RECENT PROBLEM I'VE EXPERIENCED IS THAT MY CAR SHUTS OFF AT A COMPLETE STOP AND SOMETIMES AS I'M BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AS IT SHUTS OFF. I FEEL THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BEING I'VE DODGED A FEW ACCIDENTS ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WHAT IF I'M AT A LIGHT AND GETTING READY TO TURN OR MAKE A U TURN AND IT SHUTS OFF IN ON COMING TRAFFIC, OR IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HAVE TO SUDDENLY BRAKE AND IT SHUTS OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE BUT I HOPE I CAN GET HELP SOME WAY, SOME HOW. I FEEL MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

Oct 10, 2015

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND ALL A SUDDEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND THE RPM DROPPED. I COULDN'T STEER OR ANYTHING. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR NOTHING LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT SLOWLY TO THE SIDE AND THERE WASN'T NO SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I RESTARTED MY CAR AND IT DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THIS INCIDENT BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON THEN AGAIN TODAY ON THE 24TH OF DECEMBER I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE AND THE SAME THING HAPPEN BUT AGAIN GOOD THING I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE TO PULL OVER...IM NOT A ROCKET SCIENTIST BUT THIS ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND ESPECIALLY WHILE I HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR, SOMETHING BAD CAN HAPPEN. *TR

OUR CHRYSLER 300C HAS STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 10 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO. ON FREEWAY AND CITY STREETS. IT USUALLY STARTS BACK UP ONCE YOUR STOPPED. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. NO ENGINE, NO PS AND NO BRAKES. NO CODE OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO WITH A 300 HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, NO MATTER WHAT THE YEAR OR ENGINE. LIKE MOST THERE IS NO SENSE TAKING IT TO DEALER. THEY JUST SAY NO CODE AND GIVE YOU SOME BS STORY ABOUT WHAT CAUSED IT. NO COME UP WITH A FIX. CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND WON'T MAN UP AND FIX IT. THEY WOULD RATHER SOMEONE DIE FIRST TO SAVE MONEY. IT HAS TO BE IN THE COMPUTER. JUST LIKE TOYOTA AND THEIR FLY BY WIRE THROTTLE THAT WAS CAUSING ALL THE CRASHES. WHAT IS THE PUBLIC SUPPOSE TO DO IF THEY WON'T STEP UP. *TR

i’ve been reading about the issues regarding the lights exterior/interior-so many customer complaints about how over the past few decades problems with the interior (dash) and exterior lights blinking, dimming & “ completely going out” while of course driving-how hasn’t this major issue been addressed & recalled, this is a VERY DANGEROUS & SERIOUS PROBLEM, I am currently experiencing this while on the road at night-what can be done? Our safety is at risk!!

Nov 13, 2022

My vehicle has experienced ecm/ throttle body issues, lights flickering hard to drive vehicle at night because the lights aren't working properly. Transmission and motor problems. Why isn't the electrical issues on recall? I've been on several forums with hundreds of electrical issue complaints. This is not fair

THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON WHILE DRIVING, WITCH CAUSES THE HEAD LIGHTS TO GO OUT. I THINK THIS IS A VERY DANGERS THING TO HAPPEN. CHRYSLER CORPORATION SHOULD RECALL THIS MODEL CAR AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

Dec 16, 2015

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF, DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AND WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED LIGHTING UP AND BLINKING ON THE DASH. IN ADDITION, THE GAUGES ALL DROPPED TO ZERO AND THEN RETURNED AFTER A FEW SECONDS. EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER A FEW SECONDS EXCEPT THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS RETURNED WHEN SWITCHED TO ON INSTEAD OF AUTO (IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE). THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AT 60MPH. AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN, I RESTARTED IT AND THE HEADLIGHTS WORKED PROPERLY IN THE AUTO SETTING AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM REPLICATED ITSELF 2 WEEKS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT. AGAIN, HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK. *TR

5 complaints

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300C. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle occasionally lost motive power. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while the vehicle was idle. After each failure, the contact was able to restart the vehicle after several seconds. The vehicle had been taken to several dealers and independent mechanics for diagnostic testing however, the mechanics were unable to determine the cause of the failure. Several unknown repairs were made, and several parts were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact researched and found that similar vehicles were experiencing failure. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF OUT OF NOWHERE EVEN GOING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT! STARTS JUMPING GEARS MAINLY WHEN THE RPM IS AT 1 GOING INTO 2. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR FLICKER. AFTER THE CAR DIES OUT, WHEN YOU RESTART IT ITS STUCK IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE IN DRIVE. ONCE YOU SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND RESTART IT, ITS AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. THERE IS A BRAND NEW ALTERNATOR AND A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR AND IT STILL SHUTS DOWN WHETHER YOU'RE GOING 55 ON A HIGHWAY OR SITTING AT LIGHT READY TO TAKE OFF AND IT DIES OUT THEN AS WELL. I HAVE CHILDREN, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY! I HAVE READ THAT MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THANK YOU

2006 CHRYSLER 300C | ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING | POSSIBLY TIPM-RELATED I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C JUST SHORT OF 6 MONTHS AGO. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK, AS I WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THE IGNITION COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHILE THE POWER WAS STILL ACTIVE, I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL I TURNED OVER THE VEHICLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THINKING IT WAS POSSIBLY A FRINGE ISSUE I IGNORED TO ISSUE. FAST FORWARDING TO TODAY, MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED ROUGHLY 25-50 OCCURRENCES OF THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT ONLY SEEMS TO WORK WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT AND WHAT CONCERNS ME MOST IS THAT EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I AM ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MY WIFE AND FIVE CHILDREN.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT I HAVE SPENT NEARLY $1000 TRYING TO DETERMINE. I AM UNAWARE IF THE PROBLEM IS RELATED, BUT MY CONCERN IS WHEN IT APPEARS TO BE IN PARK, THE BACKUP LIGHT ARE ON. I CAN PUSH THE SHIFT TO PUT INTO PARK. I HAVE REMOVED THE SHROUD IN HOPES TO FIGURE IT OUT. THIS CAR IS A PAIN. *TR

I PURCHASE A 300 TOURING ON NOV 5 2006. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONLY 4 MILE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE FIRST TIME ON NOV 17. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK THE CAR IN. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND DIDN'T SEE ANY CODE INDICATING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THE LIGHT WAS RESET AND THE CAR WAS RETURN TO ME. I DROVE IT AGAIN FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME NOV 23 2006. I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND TOOK THE CAR IN. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE TECH STARTED THE CAR HE DIDN'T SEE THE LIGHT ON. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR HOME. WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 1500 MILES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE THE FEELING THE DEALERSHIP IS JUST RESETTING THE LIGHT AND NOT TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOTICE ON YOUR SITE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 300 TOURING. *JB

ON JUNE 11, 2009 I WENT IN TO HAVE TIRES PUT ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AT SOUTHERN TIRE, LEXINGTON PARK, MARYLAND. THE MECHANIC CALLED ME TO INFORM ME THAT THE INNER TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PRIOR TO PUTTING TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, AND THAT HE HAD CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, PARK DODGE, CHRYSLER JEEP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR 6 MONTHS AND THERE WAS A TOTAL OF 3,123 ON BACK ORDER. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP MYSELF THE SAME EVENING AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE PARTS MANAGER BY PHONE AND ORDERED THE PART ( P/N 68028831AC) BUT WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. HE INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULD CALL THE CUSTOMER CARE LINE AT CHRYSLER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER CARE LINE THAT EVENING TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE STATE OF CHRYSLER I SHOULD UNDERSTAND. I EXPRESSED TO ASK A CUSTOMER TO WAIT 6 MONTHS FOR A PART WAS UNREASONABLE. I WAS TOLD TO GIVE THEM 48 HOURS TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO HOW TO HELP ME AND SOME ONE WOULD CONTACT ME. ON JUNE 12TH I ARRIVED HOME AND THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON MY ANSWERING MACHINE STATING THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME WITH A RENTAL OR LOANER CAR BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY (92,000 MILES). I CALLED THE CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR. THE SUPERVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK THE NEXT WORKING DAY. I RECEIVED NO CALL. I CONTINUED TO CALL AROUND AND GO ONTO THE INTERNET IN SEARCH OF THE PART AND TO NO AVAIL IT WAS NOT FOUND. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME IT IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THEY ARE WORKING TO GET THE PART AS SOON AS THEY CAN BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. I DRIVE ALMOST 150 MILES A DAY TO WORK. MY FRONT TIRES ARE GETTING VERY BAD AND THE LEFT ONE IS "COUPLING" ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE.

I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THESE 300S WITH HEMIS ARE DEATH TRAPS WAITING TO HAPPEN AND STRONGLY FEEL THAT A RECALL IS NECESSARY. IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JULY, 2013 BUT THE LATEST WAS LAST WEEK, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 2014 AT ABOUT 11:30PM. MY HUSBAND, MY 6 MO BABY, AND MYSELF HAD JUST FILLED UP THE GAS TANK ON OUR WAY HOME. WE WERE MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND ONTO THE MAIN ROAD, WHEN THE CAR WENT COMPLETELY DEAD. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND, AFTER ABOUT 3 ATTEMPTS AND A GOOD 20 SECONDS OR SO, HE FINALLY GOT THE CAR STARTED. IT SPURTED A LITTLE BUT STARTED TO MOVE. ABOUT A MILE LATER, WE WERE PULLING ONTO OUR STREET, WHEN THE CAR DIED AGAIN AND DID THE EXACT SAME THING. LUCKY FOR US THERE WEREN'T MANY CARS ON THE STREET AND EVERYONE WAS ALRIGHT BUT THIS IS NOT SAFE! THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS GOING FULL SPEED, AT LEAST 45 MPH!! SOMEONE CAN DIE! AFTER THIS LATEST INCIDENT, I'VE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO IT'S UNRELIABILITY AND OUR CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 2 DAYS-GOING ON 3. IT TOOK THE SERVICE MANAGER 2 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT IT'S A FAULTY GAS TANK AND THAT'S AFTER WE TOLD HIM ABOUT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION, ACTION NUMBER: PE13016, WHICH JUST ENDED, FEBRUARY 10, 2014. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER EXTENDED IT'S WARRANTY TO COVER GAS TANKS FOR A LIFETIME BUT, NOT FOR ALL CHRYSLER 300S! WE ARE BEING CHARGED $1,905 FOR OUR GAS TANK TO BE REPLACED, WHICH SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON OUR FUEL TANK BUT I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY ATTACHED TO OUR VIN.

MY CHRYSLER 300C HEMI STARTED IDLING ROUGH AND SHOWING CODE P0300. OIL/PLUGS WERE CHANGED, AND MY CAR WORKED WELL FOR ~500 MILES. AFTER WHICH THE LOW OIL LEVEL LIGHT CHIMMED. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALER THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND ALL WAS RIGHT. CLOSE TO A MONTH LATER, WHILE STOPPED AT A RAIL CROSSING THE CAR STALLED WITH ERROR CODE P1520. I CHECKED THE OIL WHICH WAS LOW AND ADDED TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. IN THE OIL, THERE WAS NO DISCOLORATION OR ANYTHING TO CAUSE ALARM. I STARTED THE ENGINE UP AND WHILE THE P1520 WAS GONE I HAD THE P0300. AFTER REMOVING THE MANIFOLD SMALL ALUMINUM PIECES WHERE FOUND INSIDE. PLUGS THAT WERE CLOSE TO 4K MILES OLD WERE ASH COVERED AND THROTTLE BODY. VALVES AND CYLINDER #3 HEAD NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GAS AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT HALF A MILE THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR STARTED AND STALLED REPEATEDLY FIVE OR SIX TIMES FOR ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS. AT A CERTAIN POINT THE PROBLEM STOPPED AND THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NEARBY AUTO SHOP AND THEY FOUND NO ERROR CODES IN THE SYSTEM. AFTER LEAVING THE AUTO SHOP THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITHOUT STALLING. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I FILLED UP WITH GAS AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF AFTER DRIVING ABOUT HALF A MILE. THE ENGINE STALLED ABOUT FIVE TIMES. IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER THIS TIME BUT IT EVENTUALLY STARTED AND DROVE FINE. *TR

WHEN THE CHRYSLER 300 HEMI 2006 RECEIVES A FULL TANK OF GAS, THE CHRYSLER 300 HEMI 2006 SHUTS OFF AFTER THE INITIAL START OF THE ENGINE AND AN ADDITIONAL TWO TO THREE TIMES. AFTER SEVERAL STARTS OF THE ENGINE, THE CHRYSLER 300 HEMI 2006 BEGINS TO MOVE, BUT STALLS AND CHOKES WHILE IN MOTION. DURING THE STALLING AND CHOKING THE CHRYSLER 300 HEMI 2006 LOOSES STEERING ABILITY. *TR

MY HUSBAND FILLED UP THE TANK ON 110413 (ALREADY HAD 1/4 TANK). I DROVE TO AND FROM WORK, BUT ONCE I BACKED INTO THE YARD THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN. AS I REVVED THE ENGINE THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WOULD CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER THE INITIAL START UP, BUT AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR CUT OFF. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, BUT NO ONE MENTIONED THE ISSUES THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE (2006 300C WITH HEMI). VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC MENTIONED IT MIGHT BE THE ENGINE... OH REALLY!!!!! *TR

I WAS ON THE WAY TO A DOCTORS APPT WITH MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER ON 264 HEADING TOWARDS CHESAPEAKE, VA. I WAS DOING 55 MPH AND THE TANK WAS ON 1/8 TH OF A TANK. AS WE WERE DRIVING, ABOUT 15 MIN LATER, THE CAR LURCHED, A DING WAS HEARD, THE ETC LIGHT FLASHED, THE RPMS DROPPED TO 0, THEN RESUMED A SECOND LATER CAUSING THE LURCHING FORWARD. ABOUT 3 TO 4 MINUTES AND INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE NEXT 15 MIN LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING, BUT ALSO STALLED AT THE STOP LIGHTS ON THE WAY THERE. NO CODES CAME UP WHEN DIAGNOSTICS WERE PUT ON IT. THE THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED AND A RELEARN WAS DONE, THIS DID NOTHING. SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND NO ONE HAS AN EXACT FIX FOR THIS. ALSO, MAY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, BUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING, I WAS FILLING UP WITH GAS AND THE TANK OVERFLOWED. NO PROBLEMS OCCURRED THROUGH THE NEXT 3 OR 4 FILL UPS, THE TANK WAS ON AN 1/8 WHEN THE FIRST HESITATION AND STALLING OCCURRED. *TR

CAR STARTS BACK UP WITHOUT PROBLEM IF PUT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. HAVE HAD FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED, NEW SPARK PLUGS ( MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED COPPER) AND ALL NEW IGNITION COILS. DEALERSHIP SAID THE STALLING WAS CAUSED BY OLD SPARK PLUGS AND WORN IGNITION COILS BUT CONTINUES TO STALL AFTER ALL OF THESE WERE REPLACED. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM GOING, BUT SEEMS TO STALL MORE WHEN I REACH AROUND A QUARTER TANK OF GAS.

I HAVE HAD ENGINE STALLING AFTER REFUELING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE 2007. RECEIVED A LETTER DATED MAY 8, 2014 FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC INFORMING ME THAT MY MODEL CHRYSLER HAS A CONDITION WHERE THE FURL SHUT-OFF FLOAT IN THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE STICKS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE LETTER INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE TANK HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO LIFETIME COVERAGE. THIS IS WHERE MY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE CONTINUES.... ON 17 JUNE 2014 TOOK MY VEHICLE TO CUTTER CHRYSLER IN PEARL CITY, HAWAII 96782 TO GET IT REPAIRED (MY WIFE WILL NOT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE STALLING). I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER (APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MONTHS). I WENT BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS INFORMED IT SHOULD BE 1-2 WEEKS. I WENT BACK TODAY 3 NOVEMBER 2014 AND WAS INFORMED STILL ON BACK ORDER WITH NO DATE AS TO WHEN PARTS MAY BE RECEIVED. CHRYSLER HAS NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHEN YOU CAN'T GET YOUR VEHICLE REPAIRED BECAUSE OF BACK ORDERED PARTS. IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS AND NO REPAIR IN SIGHT. MY WIFE DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS LOW RISK TO VEHICLE SAFETY AND HAS NOT RIDDEN IN THE VEHICLE SINCE 2008! HOW CAN THE PRELIMINARY EVALUATION BE CLOSED WHEN CHRYSLER HAS NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED FIXING THE PROBLEM. WARRANTY EXTENDED, BUT NO PARTS!! INVESTIGATION CLOSED BUT NO REPAIRS.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. FROM THE FIRST WEEK THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR(2/10/2013) USED WITH 71,000 MILES THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUES I EXPERIENCED WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR BY SHIFTING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN EVEN WHEN I WAS NOT ACCELERATING, THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHENEVER I WOULD GO OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE PROBLEM ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY INSIDE MY TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT ISSUE I EXPERIENCED WAS A SHIFTING IN THE FRONT END WHENEVER I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP OR POT HOLE IN THE ROAD, I FOUND OUT THAT THE STRUT, BALL JOINT, AND THE ROCKER ARM HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY FRONT END. THEN THE DIALS ON MY DASH STARTED TO GO CRAZY PERIODICALLY FOR NO REASON AT ALL, I HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS IS BUT I ASSUME IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER. I ALSO EXPERIENCED COMPLETE FAILURE OF MY COOLING SYSTEM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIER, CONDENSER, EXPANSION VALVE, AND ONE OTHER PART THAT I CANNOT REMEMBER. THE TOTAL FOR THIS JOB WAS ABOUT 2,700 AND THE TRANSMISSION WORK WAS 3,750 AND THE WORK ON THE FRONT END WAS A TOTAL OF ABOUT 800.00 NOT TO MENTION THE BRAKES I'VE REPLACED AND THE NEW SET OF TIRES I BOUGHT FOR THE CAR AND I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 1 YEAR AND 7 MONTHS. *TR

I HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING ($130.40), RENTAL CAR($86.00), AND TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY($249.18)!

AFTER THE INITIAL PROBLEM I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS, AND IS, STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE A FAILED THROTTLE CONTROL AND BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY, ESTIMATED COST OF AROUND $1,000. THEY WOULD NOT SAY FOR SURE IF THE REPAIRS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THESE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT SPORADICALLY THIS PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, SOMETIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHERE I COULD EASILY BE REAR ENDED. MY VEHICLE HAS THE 5.7 LITER HEMI V8 ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

The car will just shut off while driving or at rest. My safety and other people on the road is unsafe in the vehicle because when it shuts off in the middle of the road the steering wheel is also not working. The car has been to multiple shops with each shop guessing what could be the problem and fixing what they think may be wrong and after 2,000 dollars the car is still stalling out while being drove. No lights or diagnostic test come up with anything that could cause the problem

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN JANUARY 2015. AS OF DECEMBER 2015 IT STARTED STALLING. IT WOULD START JERKING WHEN I GAVE IT GAS. IT WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN I EITHER TRIED TO TAKE OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN I WAS JUST STOPPED OR IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING WITHIN 40 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (NOT THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM) THEY DIAGNOSED IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS. I PAID OVER $1200 TO GET IT FIXED. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF ME PICKING IT UP. IT WAS THERE FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS, THEY SAID IT DID NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN IT WAS THERE. ONLY SAID I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I HAD THEM REPLACE THE BATTERY. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH LATER. THIS TIME THEY DIAGNOSED THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE WORK WAS COMPLETE I PICKED IT UP AND LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING I WAS BROKE DOWN AGAIN. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME ITS BEEN THERE IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS. ALSO I NEVER RECEIVED A REFUND AFTER THE MIS-DISGNOSIS! THIS IS FRUSTRATING!

I RESTARTED IT AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR AT FIRST BUT AFTER A MINUTE IT DID. WENT FOR ABOUT HUNDRED FEET AND IT STALLED AGAIN IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. THEN THE NEXT MORNING IT RAN FINE UNTIL I FILLED IT UP AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING STALLED RIGHT AFTER I FILLED IT WITH GAS I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE GAS TANK AND PURGE VALVE THAT ONLY CAN BE CORRECTED BY REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS AN ISSUE HAS HAPPENED FOR MANY OWNERS AND THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING BY THERE DEALERS. IT IS A FACTORY DESIGN ERROR THAT ONLY BE CORRECTED BY THE FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS THE PURGE VALVE. THE REASON IT STALLS IS THAT WHEN FILLED UP THE TANK AND PURGE VALE FLOODS THE THROTTLE BODY WITH RAW FUEL AND THE CAR STALLS THIS STALLING CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT VERY EASY AS WELL AS EFFECTING THE EMISSIONS OF THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT WHICH I UNDERSTAND HAS EFFECTED THE DODGE CHARGER AS WELL AS THE CHALLENGER. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR TO TATE 4 TIMES, AND WAS TOLD 4 DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTICS. 1= TRANSMISSION, 2= BATTERY, 3=PLUGS & COILS, 4=CANISTER FOR EXTRA FUEL. I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS & COILS. WHICH DIDN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO A 2ND DEALER. DARCAR'S IN ROCKVILLE MD AND THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME THAT ITS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE & POWER CONTROL MODULE. MY CAR NO MATTER IF THERE IS A FULL TANK OR A 1/4 OF TANK STALLS WHEN I AM AT IDLE. IT CAN STALL ONCE OR THE MAX IS 9 TIMES. I HAVE A 1 1/2 YEAR OLD & 5 YEAR OLD WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I FOUND THIS FORUM, WHICH ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE & DIFFERENT DEALERS ARE THROWING DIFFERENT PARTS. I DON'T THINK THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK CORRECTED THIS TRUE ISSUE.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, IN PHOENIX, AZ, ENTERING AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR STALLED! WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY A CAR COMING FROM ANOTHER DIRECTION. IT DID THIS (STALLING) MANY TIMES. SCARY! APPARENTLY THEY ISSUED AN INTERNAL MEMO IN JUNE OF 2013. IN MAY, 2014 CHRYSLER SENT A LETTER TO US EXTENDING THE GAS TANK WARRANTY TO A LIFETIME COVERAGE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE "FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT, IN THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE STICKS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE STALLING AFTER REFUELING." "SIMPLY CONTACT YOUR DEALER TO HAVE THE RE PAIRS PERFORMED". CHALLENGE IS: THE DEALERS DO NOT HAVE ANY FUEL TANKS. GLENDALE, CA CHRYSLER HAS A WAITING LIST OF 2,276 YESTERDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014.

INITIALLY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUT OFF AND RESTART AT VARIOUS SPEEDS RANGING FROM 45-65 MPH, MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PROBLEM SURFACED WAS APPROX .138,000. IN 2016 AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE PCM ,FUEL TANK, ALTERNATOR, SOLENOID, BATTERY, AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR THE PROBLEM SPORADICALLY REOCCURRED EVERY 300 MILES, AND FAILURE HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND NOW OCCURS REGULARLY BUT SPORADICALLY AT LOW SPEEDS OF 1-20 CAUSING A FULL STALL WITH NO RESTART. THE FAILURE IS TYPICALLY AT A LIGHT AND WHEN TEMPTING AA TURN. IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED DURING THE HIGH SPEED INCIDENTS,ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE IN FAILURE- DASH LIGHTS GO OFF, THE ANALOG RPM AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGES SPONTANEOUSLY DROP TO ZERO, AND THEN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM RESTARTS AND GAUGES RESUME NORMAL READINGS, ALL OCCURRING WITHIN A FEW SECONDS AT MOST. ADDITIONALLY THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER SITTING FOR 3 HOURS, THE ELECTRICAL WORKS BUT ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. AFTER EACH INCIDENT CAR WAS TAKEN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC READING AND EITHER NO FAULT CODE WAS REGISTERED, OR AN ENGINE COMMUNICATION FAILURE CODE OCCURS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS.

MY CHRYSLER 300C HAS BEEN STALLING EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. IVE TAKEN IT TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS. ONE OF THEM CHARGED ME MORE THEN $300 FOR NOTHING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T EVEN FIND THE PROBLEM BUT ENDED UP CHARGING ME FOR THE TIME. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP CHANGED MY FUEL TANK THAT CHRYSLER GAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS STILL STALLING AT EVERY STOP I MAKE. I THINK THE PROBLEM ISN'T WITH THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE IT DID NOT FIX THE STALLING ISSUE. I THINK THAT ITS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WIRING OR COMPUTER. I ALSO THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAS TANK BUT ITS CLEARLY NOT. WHY SHOULD I BE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A FAULTY PROBLEM THAT ISNT MY FAULT. I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR AND ITS ONLY GOT 140,000KM ON IT. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A CHEAPER WAY TO HANDLE WITH THIS ISSUE OTHER THEN SPENDING HOURS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM NOT ME. THE CAR HAS DIED ON ME WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION. THAT IS NOT SAFE AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THEN 20 TIMES. I ALSO FEEL LIKE IM DAMAGING MY CAR EVERYTIME I HAVE TO TURN IT BACK ON. IT ALSO GUZZLES THE GAS MORE JUST BY TURNING IT BACK ON EVERYTIME. PLEASE GET CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IF THE CAR STILL HAS THE STALLING ISSUE AFTER GETTING THE GAS TANK CHANGED THEN ATLEAST GET CHRYSLER TO FIND THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO ME.

OUR CHRYSLER 300C HAD BEGUN TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH MORE THAN 3/4 TANK OF GAS. WE BEGAN TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF GAS TO NEVER FILL MORE THAN 3/4 TANK. THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS. IN DEC, 2013 THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AT OTHER TIMES. I HAD BETWEEN 1/4 TO 1/2 IN THE TANK WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT APPROX 45MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL THEN RESTART AT FIRST. THEN IT STALLED ENTIRELY SEVERAL TIMES THAT EVENING AS WE TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD MY 2 DAUGHTERS AND 2 GRANDDAUGHTERS WITH ME AT THE TIME. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL DLR, LEE CHRYSLER, WERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT THE 3 MILES. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR UNTIL 12-16-2013 WHEN THEY ADVISED THAT THE PROPORTIONAL VALVE/PURGE VALE NEEDED REPLACED AND THAT ALL OF THE UPDATES TO THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE MADE. THE TOTAL OF THIS ATTEMPT TO REPAIR WAS $379.45. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO STALL AGAIN SO I RETURNED IT. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS WITH THEIR COMPUTER HOOKED UP TO IT THEN ADVISED THAT THE PCM NEEDED REPLACED THIS REPAIR COST A TOTAL OF $1,018.61. THE CAR WAS ON EMPTY SO HE OFFERED TO STOP FOR GAS. HE FILLED THE TANK UP THEN PULLED OUT TO 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WRECKER AFTER THE VEHICLE. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR ONE NIGHT AND CALLED US TO PICK UP AND RUN THE GAS OUT TO 1/4TANK. WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD NOT STALL AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAD DISCONNECTED THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A VERY BUSY 7 LANE HWY WITH MY DAUGHTER AND 3 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER THE CAR CAME TO A DEAD STOP IN 40MPH TRAFFIC. I WAS TERRIFIED BUT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE CENTER LANE. THEY HAVE NOW CALLED AND ADVISED ANOTHER SENSOR MUST BE REPLACED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED IN THIS CAR. *TR

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, MY CAR DIES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I GET HOME, WHICH IS ABOUT 5 MILES FROM THE GAS STATION. SOMETIMES IT WILL SPEED UP WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR JUST BEFORE IT DIES. IT DIES BEFORE I GET OUT OF THE GAS STATION, SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES IT DIES AS I PULL TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT 1,000 FEET FROM THE GAS STATION. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 2 DAYS AGO. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWICE FOR THIS, BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE FILL UP BEFORE THIS LAST ONE, I ONLY FILLED THE TANK HALF FULL, AND IT DIDN'T DIE, SO IT MUST BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH FILLING IT ALL THE WAY UP. I DON'T TOP THE TANK OFF, EITHER. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L STARTING STALLING AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORST. MY CAR NOW STOPS WHILE IDLE, AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND HAS EVEN STOP WHILE MAKING A TURN INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHO HAS TRIED TO CHARGE ME LABOR TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM (THOUSANDS) BUT, ULTIMATELY CLAIM THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AFTER RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THEIR ARE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I ALSO FOUND THAT CHRYSLER'S SOLUTION IS TO CHANGE THE GAS TANK, WHICH THEY CLAIM SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE TANK UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE STALLING PROBLEM. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER DID A RECALL ON THIS SAME STALLING ISSUE FOR THE PACIFICA MINI VAN, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY MAKE AND MODEL. THE ISSUES ARE FOUND IN 2005-2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI 5.7L ENGINES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE HAS GONE SO LONG WITHOUT A RECALL.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THIS STALLING HAS RESULTED IN AN POTENTIAL COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BEING AVOIDED ONLY BY ASTUTE DRIVER INTERVENTION. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AND HAS CONSISTENTLY REPEATED DURING EVERY REFUELING SINCE. NO RESEARCH OR ATTEMPT TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL. CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS NO NOTIFICATION OF THIS PROBLEM BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROVIDED VIN NUMBER AND STATES THAT THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL SUCH A NOTICE IS RECEIVED. I AM REQUESTING YOUR INTERVENTION ON MY BEHALF BY NOTIFYING CHRYSLER CORPORATION OF THIS REPORTED AND KNOWN PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM.

AFTER TAKING OUT THE KEY AND RESTARTING THE CAR BACK UP IT CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT AS SOON AS WE DROVE OFF AT A LOW SPEED YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE SHAKE AND STUMBLE A BIT AND WANTING TO STOP. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED PROBLEMS BEFORE SINCE I GOT IT BACK IN 2014.

CAR STALLS UNEXPECTED AFTER FUELING UP

Jan 28, 2016

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED A TOTAL LOSS IN POWER STEERING, HEAD LIGHTS, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A WELL LIT ROAD WITH A LONG STRAIGHTAWAY AND ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR TO A SAFE STOP. HAD I BEEN A FEW MILES FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A WINDING ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

HELLO, I AM A CURRENT CHRYSLER VEHICLE OWNER AND IVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 WHICH JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR TROUBLE CODES REPORTED TO THE CARS COMPUTER. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IM DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WILL JUST STALL OUT. EACH TIME I TAKE MY CAR TO THE AUTO MECHANICS, THEY ARENT ABLE TO IDENTIFY ANYTHING WRONG AS THERE ARENT ANY CODES DETECTED. MY VEHICLE EVEN STALLED WHILE AT THE MECHANICS SHOP AND THEY STILL WERENT ABLE TO ASSIST AS NO CODES WERE TRIGGERED. OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, IVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND COUNTLESS HOURS, STUCK ON MAJOR HIGHS AS WELL AS REPLACING CAR COMPONENTS IN A BIG EFFORT OF TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS CONCERN. TO DATE, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THESE ANXIETIES. IVE BEEN OUT ON RELATIVE WEB SITES LOOKING THIS PROBLEM UP AND IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF CHRYSLER SRT/SRT8 OWNERS AND THEY ARE DEALING WITH SAME CONCERNS THAT I AM. IM INCLUDING A URL LINK TO ONE OF THE BLOG OF 10+ PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS WHO ARE LOST, CONFUSED AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. HTTP://WWW.CHARGERFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-47313.HTML ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS WHY I AM ASKING FOR SOME ASSISTANCE IS BOTH AWARENESS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AS THERE COULD BE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT. ANOTHER REASON IS A PROACTIVE EFFORT AT HOPING TO GET ASSISTANCE TO GET FEEDBACK FROM CHRYSLER TO HELP RESOLVE THESE CONCERNS.

OUR 2006 CHRYSLER 300 SRT8 DIES AFTER FUELING THE GAS TANK TO FULL. IT HAS DIED IN INTERSECTIONS WERE WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT AND IN TURNS CAR DIES, LOCKS UP AND THERE IS NO POWER ANYTHING. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND CONTINUOUSLY PAY MONEY TO TURN RUN DIAGNOSTIC, ONLY TO HEAR " WE CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" I HAVE SPENT $400.00 TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG.CAR BECOMES VERY HARD TO RESTART. ONCE I GET THE VEHICLE STARTED, AGAIN THE STALLING STARTS, THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR REMAINS ON. AS I DRIVE HOME, I COULD FEEL THE CAR "SPUTTERING" OR HESITATING LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN. WHEN STARTING CAR IN THE MORNING IT FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE. PLEASE HELP THIS CAR IS MY FAMILY'S MAIN TRANSPORTATION AND I FEAR THAT ONE DAY THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND A BABY ON THE WAY. HELP!!! CHRYSLER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT LIVES, ONLY THE BOTTOM LINE. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 7 YEARS, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. ON FEBRUARY 23,2014 I WENT TO SHELL AND FILLED UP THE CAR WITH $49.00. I DO NOT REMEMBER IF I EVER FILLED THE CAR UP BEFORE. I'M SURE I HAVE BUT I USUALLY PUT 20/30 BUCKS IN. BUT I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT STOP N SHOP GAS SAVINGS AND RECEIVED A DISCOUNT. I TRIED TO PUT 50 IN BUT IT ONLY TOOK 49.00. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND I TRIED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND IT SHUT DOWN. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FLUKE SINCE I WAS BASICALLY AT A ROLL. I DROVE 2 BLOCKS AND AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IT DIED. I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A U-TURN TO RETURN HOME. THE CAR DIED 3 TIMES IN A 5 BLOCK SPAN. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY COUSIN WHO HAD A COMPUTER, NO CODES CAME UP BUT THE CAR SHUT DOWN TWICE. I PARKED THE CAR AND TOOK OUT A DIFFERENT CAR. MY COUSIN THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS OR A BAD OIL CHANGE WHICH I HAD DONE ON FEB 22, 2014 I JUST RETURNED HOME AND GOOGLED, "CHRYSLER 300C STALLING" AND FOUND THE ARTICLE THAT THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING, AND HERE I AM. I GUESS I WILL CONTACT CHRYSLER IN THE MORNING. *TR

ENGINE STALLED FOR FIRST TIME LESS THAN 2 MILES AFTER FILL UP AT 25 MPH ON CITY STREET. IMMEDIATELY LOSS POWER ASSIST OF BOTH STEERING AND BRAKES. CAR WEIGHTS 4040 LBS AND I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AND GETTING THE CAR STOPPED. CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. NO FUTURE PROBLEMS UNTIL NEARLY EVERY REFILL WHEN IT STALLS WITHIN FIRST FEW SECONDS OR 2 MILES. CAR NOW HAS 79550 MILES. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS MOST FREQUENTLY BUT I ALWAYS FILL THE GAS TANK. I TOLD HER WHEN IT STALLS, STEER STRAIGHT, PUT CAR IN NEURAL, RESTART, AND HOPE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STOP QUICKLY. IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 CHRYSLER'S [XXX] LETTER AUG 9, 2013 LAST PAGE 17 STATES "IF A STALL AFTER REFUEL CONDITIONS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE HAS FUNCTIONING STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEMS". TRUE BUT WITH OUT POWER ASSIST ON STEERING AND BRAKES CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. MOST WOMEN AND SMALL MEN WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY SAFELY STOPPING CAR. CHRYSLER CONCLUDES THIS ISSUE POSES AND MINOR RISK TO VEHICLE SAFETY. I AM A RETIRED MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND WORKED 40 YEARS WITH POWER TRAINS AND STRONGLY DISAGREE. IN THIS REVIEW VEHICLES 5, 6, AND 7 ALL HAD PROBLEMS WITH SWOLLEN REFUELING FLOATS ALLOWING THE FLOATS TO STICK AND NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. ALL THREE CARS WERE 2006 300C WITH 5.7 LITER HEMI ENGINES THE SAME AS MINE.. ON A11.PAGE 15, CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THE VENT VALVES WAS CHANGED FOR MY 2007. THIS APPEARS TO ACKNOWLEDGE A POOR OR FAULTY DESIGN IN MY 2006. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN MARCH 2006 AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER/DRIVER. I DO LIKE MY CAR AND WILL BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER 300C. WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW I HAD SEVERAL STALLING ISSUES WHERE THE CAR WOULD STALL AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I DO NOT RECALL IF IT WAS AFTER REFUELING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND NO "CODES" WERE FOUND AND THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR THAN RAN PERFECTLY FOR SIX YEARS WITH NO STALLING ISSUES. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED INCLUDING NEW SPARK PLUGS AS RECOMMENDED BY CHRYSLER. STARTING EARLIER THIS YEAR THE STALLING RESTARTED AND IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER I FILL THE CAR WITH FUEL. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL OTHER GAS STATIONS AND RAN SOME FUEL INJECTION CLEANER THROUGH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I DO NOT TOP OFF THE TANK WHEN FILLING THE CAR UP. AT ONE POINT THE STALLING OCCURRED AFTER EVERY FILL UP AND NOW IT IS NOT AS OFTEN (EVERY OTHER FILL UP). AFTER FILLING THE TANK THE CAR STARTS NORMALLY AND AS I EXIT THE GAS STATION AND STOP TO CHECK TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL STUMBLE AND STALL. IT RESTARTS AND WILL STALL AGAIN IF I DON'T KEEP THE ENGINE RPM'S UP. SOMETIMES AFTER I FILL UP AND QUICKLY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC (AND NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO FALL TO IDLE SPEED) WHILE ACCELERATING UP TO 25-40 MPH THE CAR WILL STUMBLE AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL. IT DOES NOT STALL BECAUSE THE CAR IS GAINING SPEED AND THEN CLEARS UP AFTER A "SURGE" AND THEN RUNS FINE TILL THE NEXT FILL UP CYCLE. I AM CAREFUL ABOUT PULLING OUT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AFTER FILL UPS OUT OF FEAR OF IT STALLING. *TR

UPON DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT IS ALWAYS 70MPH. WHILE FOLLOWING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC INDIVIDUALS AHEAD OF ME STARTED SLOWING DOWN TO A CRUISE SPEED OF 40-50MPH ABRUPTLY. WHILE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE CHANGE IN PACE I SLOWED DOWN AS WELL TO FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. WHEN CHECKING MY REARVIEW MIRROR TO SEE IF THERE WAS A OPENING TO CHANGE LANES I NOTICED A FORD TRUCK COMING FROM BEHIND AT A EXCELLED PACE. WITH SECONDS BEFORE THE CONTACT I BRACED MYSELF FOR THE WRECK. WITHOUT PAYING ATTENTION SUDDENLY THE DRIVER FROM BEHIND RAN INTO MY REAR OF MY CAR. THIS IMPACT NOT ONLY SHATTERED MY ENTIRE REAR WINDOW, BUT MY TRUCK CAVED IN, BOTH MY TAIL LIGHTS WERE KNOCKED OUT, AND I WAS KNOCKED INTO THE NEXT FAR RIGHT LANE. DURING THE IMPACT I BRACED MYSELF AND HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, MY DRIVER SIDE REAR MIRROR WAS KNOCKED DOWN AND THE HAZARD WHEEL ALIGNMENT LIGHTS CAME ON. WHILE ALL OF THIS OCCURRED I WAS SHOCKED MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DIDN'T EMPLOY. I AM A MALE, 5?8, 160 POUNDS SO I AM SURE THE ELECTRONICS COULD TELL A PERSON WAS VISIBLY IN THE SEAT. HAD I NOT SEEN THE TRUCK COME FROM BEHIND I COULD'VE BEEN THROWN OUT THE WINDOW. I AM SURPRISED OF THE MALFUNCTION AND WANTED TO REPORT IT. *TR

I CHECKED MY MANUAL & ATTEMPTED TO RELEASE THE BRAKE BY PRESSING DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD,THEN PULLING THE BRAKE RELEASE. THE LIGHT REMAINED ON. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, THIS INDICATED A BRAKE PROBLEM SO I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. ON 9/8/06 I TOOK IT IN TO THE SERVICE DEPT.WHO SAID TO PRESS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, RELEASE THE BRAKE & LIGHTLY LIFT UP ON THE FOOT BRAKE. ON 9/10/06 I AGAIN TOUCHED THE BRAKE CAUSING THE LIGHT TO COME ON.ON 9/11/06 I TOOK IT IN TO THE SERVICE DEPT. & SPOKE TO THEM & THE GENERAL MANAGER. BOTH GENTLEMEN AGREED IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED, BUT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SO I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CORP. CUSTOMER CENTER. THE MAN TOLD ME IT IS NOT A DEFECT JUST BECAUSE I AM NOT ABLE TO PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ANY MORE THAN IT IS A DEFECT IF I AM UNABLE TO OPEN A DOOR! I AM NOT A 100 POUND WOMAN ! I TRIED WITH BOTH FEET, GOT OUT & TRIED WITH MY HAND. HE TOLD ME IF THE LIGHT REMAINS ON & SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE BRAKES THAT I AM UNAWARE OF AND CAUSES AN ACCIDENT, THAT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE.

car stalled after filling gas tank. I was driving through an intersection and had to stop for oncoming traffic, when the car stalled and would not immediately restart, it eventually did start after several panic moments of being stuck in the intersection while the light was changing to let opposite traffic proceed. It stalled 2 more times on the way home. Both times I was slowing the car down when this occurred. I have been fearful of driving this car again since this happened. I heard there was a recall from Chrysler for lifetime replacement of gas tank due to a possible control valve shutoff float failure. My vehicle has never had the gas tank or float replaced, but it does not show up for a recall when I enter VIN. What should I do?

I REQUESTED THAT THEY BUY THE CAR BACK/ AND PAY ME FOR LOST OF USE OF OUR VEHCILE,. HE SAID IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED/ I MUST SIGN A RELEASE OF ALL HARMS. NO ATTORNEY WOULD TAKE THIS CASE, THEY SAY IT IS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH FOR THEM. 1 WHOLE YEAR AND CHRYSLER HAS OUR CAR, WE WERE FORCE INTO BUYING ANOTHER CAR YET STILL PAYING FOR THE CHRYSLER. IS THIS THE LAW? CAN CHRYSLER GET AWAY WITH THIS? FORCING US TO DO WHAT WE DON;T WANT TO DO? CHRYSLER HAS OFFERED ME 8.000 TO SIGN THE HARMLESS RELEASE AND THEN THEY WILL GIVE ME MY CAR BACK AFTER ONE YEAR OF SUFFERING, IS THIS RIGHT? HELP ME PLEASE, WE HAVE NO ONE ELSE TO TURN TO FOR HELP. NO ONE.

LOCAL VENDOR SUGGESTED THE AIR BAG WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY OR THE WRONG MAKE/MODEL WAS USED TO GET THE JOB DONE AND GET RID OF ME. I HAD ALSO READ ON YOUR LIST OF RECALLS FOR THIS MODEL THERE WAS A RADIO THAT EXPLODED. I NEED THE RADIO AND PARTICULARLY THE GPS TO WORK AND THE CAR WILL HAVE REDUCED RESALE VALUE WITHOUT EITHER OF THOSE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED 2 WEEKS AGO. INITIALLY THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE UNTIL I FILLED IT UP WITH FUEL. AS SOON AS I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION MY VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AS IF I WAS LOSING POWER TO MY VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW MILES THE STALLING STOPPED. IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS THE STALLING HAS BECOME WORSE EVERY TIME I PUMP FUEL. IT SHUTS OFF IF I'M IDLE AT A LIGHT, IT SHUTS OFF WHEN I'M ATTEMPTING TO PARK, TURN LEFT, OR IN A DRIVE THRU. AS SOON AS I WOULD CRANK MY VEHICLE UP AND GO TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WON'T MOVE UNTIL AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT JUST JERKS OUT BEFORE A SMOOTH DRIVE. YESTERDAY I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE AFTER INFORMING THE USED CAR SALES LOT WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE AND WANTED TO KEEP MY CAR FOR A WEEK. AFTER 10 HOURS OF TRYING TO FIND THE ISSUE THEY STATED THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK FOR 2006 CHRYSLER 300S. HE SAID THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND I SHOULD BE ON MY WAY. SO I WAS RELIEVED TO HEAR THE GREAT NEWS COMING FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. WELL AFTER HEADING HOME AND 20 MILES OUT FROM THE DEALERSHIP THERE GOES THE STALLING AGAIN LAST NIGHT. MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT THE LIGHT AND AGAIN AS SOON AS I ATTEMPTED TO PARK MY VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY. IN ADDITION TO THE FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE IS CAUSING ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I TRULY FEE WASN'T INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY. I NOTICED A RECALL ON 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WHERE THE STALLING WAS CAUSED BY THE FUEL SYSTEM, TCM, AND PCM MODULE BASICALLY DEALING WITH THE POWER TRAIN AND THIS IS VERY HIGHLY THE SAME ISSUE GOING ON WITH 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THERE SHOULD'VE BEEN A RECALL ON BOTH AND THERE ISN'T. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WHEN I STALLED ONTO THE FREEWAY I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER TRUCK ON LAST WEEK. THE TCM AND PCM CODES ALONG WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM CODE WERE SHOWING IN THE DIAGNOSTIC ISSUE YESTERDAY. HELP PLEASE

AFTER WORK I WAS DRIVING HOME AS USUALL DOWN A VERY BUSY MAIN ROAD WITH ALOT OF TRAFFIC AND LIGHT CONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS. I WAS ABOUT 25 MIN AWAY FROM HOME WHEN I WAS BEGINNIGN TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE AND EXCELLERATE OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE. AS I BEGAN TO GET OVER WITHOUT A WARNING OR NOTICE MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY WHEEL WITHOUT EXCESSIVE FORCE. AS I CONTINUED TO COST INTO THE OTHER LANE AND GRAB AHOLD OF THE STEERING I REALIZED NOT ONLY DID THIS SHUT OFF BUT THE ENGINE DID AS WELL. I GUIDED THE CAR TO THE SAFEST PLACE I COULD (STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. HUNDREDS OF CARS DROVE BY HONKING AND SWEARING AT ME LEAVING ME STUCK IN MY VEHICLE AS IT WAS TO UNSAFE TO GET OUT. AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN OF THAT STREESS A HELPFUL OLDER MAN HELPED PUSH ME TO A SAFER PART OF THE STREET UNTIL MY BOYFRIEND COULD GET TO ME AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED HOME. AFTER A WEEK AND A HALF AND CLOSE TO 500 LATER I WAS CALLED WITH THE NEWS THAT A CYLINDAR COLLAPSED CAUSING MY ENGINE TO FAIL. IT WOULD BE A 7,000-9,000 REPAIR AT THE LEAST. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT I STILL OWE 13000 ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT BARELY BLUE BOOKS AT 10000. SO WHY WOULD I PAY THE MONEY WHEN I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE IN THE 3 YEARS OF OWNING IT AND HAD NO WARNING OR WAY TO PREVENT IT. I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO A DEALER TO BE MAINTENCED AND NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE SO HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING TO ME. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE THAT DOESNT WORK AND HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE MEAN TIME WHILE I AM DEALING WITH TRYING TO MAKE CHRYLSER RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION. I HAVE DONE MASSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND LEARNED THAT THIS YEAR IS ALREADY KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND OVER 200 COMPAINTS WITH PEOPLE JUST LIKE ME WHO THIS HAPPENED TO. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THIS REPAIR COVERED OR MY CAR PURCHASED BACK.

THE CAR CUT OFF 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON; ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THEN AFTER FUELING THE CAR AND PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT ABOUT 35 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I SAFELY GUIDED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 2 SENSORS (CODE:P0038)- $501.98. ONE WEEK LATER, THE CAR CONTINUED TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP CODES THAT CAME UP: P0038, P0058, P0052, P0032, PMC & ENGINE HARNESS,& PMC ENGINE COMPUTER - $2000 - DECLINED REPAIRS BECAUSE SENSORS (P0038) WERE JUST REPLACED . CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN 08-34-05 JUNE 30, 2015 ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER CORP -MICHAEL BROWSOWSKI SAYS THE CAR (NOW 56,484 MILES) IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY OWE US NOTHING, BUT AS A GOOD WILL GESTURE, THEY WILL PAY FOR 2 PARTS ONLY - NOT LABOR. HE ADMITTED THAT A CAR CUTTING OFF IS UNACCEPTABLE, BUT REFUSED TO COVER THE ENTIRE COST OF REPAIR. HE ALSO REFUSED TO REPLY TO MY WRITTEN COMPLAINT IN WRITING. CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO SHIRK THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT.

I DRIVE A 2006 300C HEMI W/60K MILES.I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A FRIEND. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THIS CITY SINCE 2006. MID DAY TEMPS 105'. I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS IN TOWN. I HAD STOPPED AT 7 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND A FEW MINUTES LATER RETURNED TO THE CAR AND CONTINUED WITH MY ERRANDS. I WAS IN THE CAR SITTING AT A 4 LANE INTERSECTION WAITING FOR MY TURN AND I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASH AND THE OIL CAN LIGHT CAME ON, THEN TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE AND I COULDN'T, MY CAR HAD STALLED. I TURNED OFF THE A/C UNIT, THE RADIO AND PUT IT IN PARK. I TRIED 6 OR SO TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO START BUT IT WOULDN'T .I ENGAGED MY FLASHERS WHILE OTHER DRIVERS WERE HONKING AND DRIVING AROUND ME.I LEFT IT IN TRAFFIC AND GOT TO THE SIDEWALK OUT OF DANGER. I WAS CALLING FOR HELP WHEN A MOTORIST PULLED UP BEHIND MY CAR AND ASKED WHATS WRONG. I TOLD HIM IT JUST DIED, SITTING STILL WAITING FOR OUR TURN TO GO THRU THE INTERSECTION. HE GOT IN THE CAR THAT HAD BEEN SITTING THERE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND HE DROVE IT TO A SAFE PARKING LOT. I PARKED THE CAR IN MY GARAGE AND THERE IT SITS. I AM AFRAID TO GET STRANDED IN TRAFFIC AGAIN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB AND FOUND THAT CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED ON FEB 13, 2014 CHRYSLER EXTENDS LIFETIME WARRANTY ON 2006, 5.7 AND 6.1 HEMI FUEL TANKS. APPARENTLY, NO ONE HAS DIED YET SO IT DOES NOT QUALITY FOR A RECALL BUT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN QUALIFY FOR THIS WARRANTY?

FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED THERE'S A DEFECT IN CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES WITH THE HEMI ENGINE. ANY TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED, IF A SHARP LEFT TURN IS TAKEN THE CAR STALLS OUT. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME PERIODICALLY OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO TWO LOCAL MECHANICS AND THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, NOBODY COULD FIGURE IT OUT, IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER. FINALLY, A THIRD MECHANIC GOOGLED IT AND CAME UP WITH AN ARTICLE IN THE L.A.TIMES THAT PERFECTLY DESCRIBED MY SITUATION (DUH, I SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT). IT WASN'T UNTIL THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD, ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON, WITH MY TWO-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, THAT I REALLY HAD AN ISSUE. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING PLAZA, SO IT ENDED ALRIGHT, BUT IF THERE WAS NOWHERE TO GO THAT COULD'VE SPELLED DISASTER! AS A GUY I CAN HANDLE A SITUATION LIKE THIS, BUT WHEN CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED A DEFECT OF THIS TYPE IS UNACCEPTABLE. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR, SO IT'S NOT RELATED TO USER ERROR BY ANY MEANS. IN THE END THE THIRD MECHANIC QUOTED ME $1800 FOR A NEW GAS TANK + LINES + LABOR, OR I COULD NOT FILL MY TANK TO THE TOP WHEN I GET GAS. THANKS CHRYSLER! PLUS, THE SHIFTER FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON THE 300C WILL LOCK UP, NOT LETTING THE DRIVER SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THANKS AGAIN CHRYSLER FOR STRANDING MY PREGNANT WIFE! (I STILL HAVE THE SHIFTER IN MY GARAGE HOPING THAT WILL BE A RECALL). *TR

THE CAR WAS FILLED UP WITH FUEL AND NO MORE THAN 2-5 MILES FROM THE GAS STATION WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING WHILE IN TRAFFIC. WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND CONTINUE ON AND WITHIN A MILE IT STALLED OUT AGAIN IN TRAFFIC. THIS TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE CAR WAS PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ALSO COMING ON SO DID NOT WANT TO PUSH THE CAR AND CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. AFTER 45 MINS I RESTARTED THE CAR FINE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 1 MILE BEFORE IT STALLED OUT AT A STOP SIGN. AGAIN NO WARNING AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND YOU WERE UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR EASILY OR TURN THE WHEEL SINCE ALL POWER WAS LOST. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DID COME ON AGAIN BUT DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL AFTER THE CAR ENGINE CUT OFF AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. THIS TIME I CHECKED THE OIL AND THE LEVEL WAS FINE BUT I STILL ADDED AN EXTRA QUART OF OIL. THEN WITHIN 5 MINS I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY 1-2 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON ARRIVING AT THE DEALERSHIP WE CHECKED THE ERROR CODED. THE DEALERSHIP THAN CHANGED THE OIL AND DID A FULL INSPECTION AND DRIVE OF THE CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE I WAS SEEING BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

AT ANY GIVEN SPEED THERE IS A "LOSS OF COMMUNICATION" AS IT IS DESCRIBED BY THE MANCARI'S OF OAK LAWN DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS HAVE IT SERVICED, BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE COMPUTER. THIS IS APPARENTLY A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE WEBSITE BELOW. I HAVE HAD THE TRANS SHIFTER REPLACED, AS WELL AS HAD THE CAR "RE-FLASHED" SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL, AND WITH NO APPARENT SOLUTION IN SITE. MANY ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE AT REACHING CHRSLYER - THE MANUFACTURER AS SUGGESTED, BUT THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO INTEREST IN DEALING WITH CUSTOMERS BEYOND THE SALE OF THE VEHICLE.I WONDER HOW MANY FATALITIES WILL HAVE TO ENSUE BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT I AM SURE ARE KNOWN ISSUES BY NOW, CONCERNING THEIR VEHICLES.

THE ENGINE STARTED TICKING NOTICEABLY ON THE UPPER RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THE NOISE WAS TYPICAL OF A LIFTER OR WORN ROCKER ARM. ABOUT A MONTH EARLIER THE CAR HAD A SHIFTING PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY UNDER ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS CHECKED FOR THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND AFTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS COMPLETED THEY DID ADVISE THEY FOUND THE STRUT BUSHINGS WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. AFTER HEARING THE ENGINE NOISES THE CAR WAS AGAIN TAKEN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. BOTH SIDES OF THE ENGINE HAD THE ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLIES REPLACED. THE BUSHINGS FOR THE STRUTS WERE REPLACED. BOTH OF THE TIE ROD ENDS WERE FOUND TO BE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT WHILE THEY WERE TRYING TO REALIGN THE FRONT END. THE ALIGNMENT WAS NEEDED AFTER REPLACING THE STRUT BUSHINGS. THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND OIL CHANGES & LUBES WERE DONE AT OR NEAR EVERY 3,500 MILES. THERE ARE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF REPLACEMENTS/REPAIRS BEING DONE FOR THESE PARTICULAR PARTS FAILING AT A LOW MILEAGE.THESE PARTS ARE FAILING PREMATURELY AND CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE THE INITIATIVE & RECALL THESE COMPONENTS. REIMBURSING CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BECOME DISSATISFIED WITH THEIR CARS AND IT'S MANUFACTURER ARE BEING BURDENED WITH UNNECESSARY REPAIR COSTS. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH COVERED ALL THE COSTS (OVER $2,000.00) . I STILL HAD TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE. NHTSA NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AND HOLD THE MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN 2008 WITH ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. DEPENDABILITY IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF OWNING A CAR AND WE ALL PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO PURCHASE/LEASE THEM. PAYING FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS EXPECTED BUT EXORBITANT REPAIR COSTS ARE UNACCEPTABLE WHEN A CAR IS PROPERLY CARED FOR AND NOT ABUSED. *TR

THE PINK PLASTIC SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH BROKE. THE PLASTIC BREAKS FROM CONTINUAL FORESEEABLE USE. FAILURE CAUSES THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE SHIFTING MECHANISM OUT OF PARK AND THUS DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO YOUTUBE.COM [HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=8UAMY_M7TTK], THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR ON 2006 AND 2007 MODELS. I AM NOT CERTAIN, BUT 2008 AND NEWER MODELS HAVE A PART THAT IS GREEN AND DOES NOT SEEM AS LIKELY TO BREAK. FURTHERMORE, MILEAGE OR AGE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A FACTOR. MINE BROKE BEFORE 75,000 MILES AND SLIGHTLY AFTER 6 YEARS. DORMAN MAKES AN METAL ALUMINUM REPLACEMENT PART RANGING FROM $22 TO $40 DEPENDING ON THE RETAILER. ONLINE IS LESS EXPENSIVE. THE FACT THAT THERE IS A METAL, DURABLE REPLACEMENT PART IS EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS AN INCREASING PROBLEM. MOREOVER, IT IS BELIEVED THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS FAILED TO RECALL ITS VEHICLES. FURTHERMORE, AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER 800 CUSTOMER SERVICE # (REFERENCE #22152872), I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC CAR, THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT EVEN CONSIDER COVERING THE COST UNLESS I FIRST WENT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AT WHICH A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER MECHANIC WOULD HAVE TO CONFIRM THAT THE PINK PLASTIC SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH WAS THE ISSUE. DIAGNOSTIC ALONE COSTS $150, BUT MAY BE APPLIED TO REPAIRS. I THEN CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN TUSTIN, CA AND A SERVICING MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT HE WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT HAD YET TO SEE CHRYSLER COVER THE ESTIMATED $500 COST EVEN THOUGH THE REPLACEMENT PART IS $22 TO $40. THIS IS A PRODUCTS LIABILITY CASE: CHRYSLER IS (1) A COMMERCIAL SUPPLIER OF A (2) DEFECTIVE DESIGNED PRODUCT UNDER THE CONSUMER EXPECTATION, RISK-UTILITY, AND THE FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVE TESTS AND IS THE (3) ACTUAL AND (4) PROXIMATE CAUSE OF THE DEFECT WHICH CAUSES PROPERTY DAMAGES. THERE ARE NO APPLICABLE DEFENSES. THIS ALSO A POTENTIAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR

IF I HAD LIFTED THE CRUISE CONTROL LEVER, THE CAR WOULD HAVE TRIED TO RESUME THE SPEED I HAD BEEN USING ON THE HIGHWAY (65 MPH). 2.) THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL COVERS THE SPEEDOMETER.
