The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light would remain illuminated. Occasionally the lights on the dashboard and inside the vehicle would randomly blink off and on. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. During the diagnostic test, the electrical fuses continued to malfunction. No further information was available. The manufacturer was not yet notified. The failure mileage was 137,000.
I was very excited to purchase my 2005 Chrysler 300C, but there was a recall on the airbag which was taken into the dealer and replace but my grandson had accident in March 2018 and the airbag didn’t disengage. I contact the customer service and they said that I should have contact them before the car was removed from the wrecker company but I wasn’t aware that I to notify them. I send them picture of the car and the insurance adjuster can verify that the airbag didn’t disengaged. I'm writing to express my dissatisfaction with the process for recall failure and how to report the incident.

Our 2005 Chrysler 300 stalls and will not restart for many minutes after we refuel it. Chrysler stated they have extended the warranty to a life time coverage if you are experiencing this issue you are able to get it covered under said warranty. We have contacted them and they state this one is not covered. How can we go about getting this covered. It obviously has the issue they have recalled and should be covered!! Thank you, Shannon Hainzlsperger
My 2005 Chrysler 300 has been having an issue with the fuel tank. When you get fuel in it then it won’t stay started. It keeps stalling out repeatedly. It also stalls out randomly under 25mph. Both are dangerous as it may cause you to get T-boned leaving gas station as it repeatedly stalls. Also it stalled out on the freeway on-ramp under 25mph. This is also dangerous as you lose your steering at the same time. Someone could have been injured or killed. And Chrysler needs to take this more seriously than they did just with the 2005 300c. It’s happening to more models of that year as well. Their offered remedy was telling me not to fuel it all the way up anymore past 3/4 of a tank. A dealership confirmed it needs a full fuel tank replacement and has had it since Memorial Day. They still have it currently. Chrysler told me and the dealership I’m on my own after treating me horribly most of the time on the phone calls with customer care center as I was jumping through hoops for them over and over for around 2 months. Whenever I get someone kind and helpful they won’t let me speak to them again. I have this all written down. And will get the estimate when I get my car back. But I don’t have $2800 ($2000 alone is just the fuel tank) to fix this on my own. Especially not when there is a known issue. Fuel tanks just don’t break and need full replacement as a common issue in vehicles. But Chrysler says my vehicle is too old. Which they knew the year of my vehicle when I called in the first place. And they know there is a known issue which is why they have lifetime fuel tank replacements on others of the same year. It’s too bad they weren’t pushed to do a total recall rather than just a safety bulletin. It left the rest of us that end up having issues with the fuel tanks in danger. It’s not just coincidental. It’s been acting up for awhile and I couldn’t find anyone that had ever heard of this until the Chrysler forums. It got worse in 2020 to present. Thank you.
COULD NOT GET GEAR SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WE TOOK APART CASING, FOUND THE PINK PLASTIC BROKE. LOOKED AT YOUTUBE TO FIX. ORDER PART ON AMAZON. THE PLASTIC PIECE IS NOW MADE OF METAL!!
PARK LOCKOUT MECHANISM BROKEN ON 2005 CHRYSLER 300C VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK
IN THE BEGINING MY CAR STALL AFTER FILLING THE TANK UP WITH GAS. IT WOULD STALL AT LOW IDLE LIKE FOR INSTANCE WHEN I COME TO A STOP. BUT IT ALSO HAVE DONE IT WHEN I'VE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND EVERYONE AROUND ME. ESPECIALLY ON A MAJOR CITY HIGHWAY LIKE ATLANTA. I;VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVE SINCE EARLY LAST YEAR.
EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK UP THE CAR OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND IT STALLS. SOMETIMES IT DOES THIS 2 OR 3 TIMES THEN IT RUNS OK UNTIL ITS TIME TO FILL CAR UP AGAIN, THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENS.
DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT DOES NOT WORK. WE HAVE CHANGED THE BULB , EVEN TRIED ONE THAT DID WORK FROM THE LEFT SIDE . ON BLOGS PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE , THEREFORE I WONDER IF OTHERS HAVE REPORTED IT LIKE MYSELF . THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS STAYING ON AS WELL .
WHEN REFUELING MY CHRYSLER 300C BACK TO FULL CAPACITY IT WILL IMMEDIATELY STALL OUT AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE CAR WILL START RIGHT UP AGAIN NO PROBLEM, AND CONTINUE TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC MULTIPLE TIMES FOLLOWING UNTIL IT BURNS OFF ENOUGH FUEL TO STOP. I ALSO HAVE BEEN SMELLING RAW GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM VARIES. THE ODOR IS HIGHLY POTENT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR. NEVER WITNESSED ANY FLUID LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE CAR OR NOTICEABLY IN FUEL TANK GAUGE UNTIL THIS MORNING, IT WAS LEAKING OUT FROM THE TRIM PANEL UNDERNEATH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE .
AFTER I REFUEL MY CAR, IT ALWAYS SMELLS LIKE GAS INSIDE THE CAB. I RECENTLY LOOKED TO SEE WHERE IT IS COMING FROM, AND FOUND IT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK SEAT. THE TRANSFER PUMP HAS A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY VEHICLE DIED. NOW IT DOES EVERY TIME I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE STEERING MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TURN
THE MAIN GROUNDING WIRE PASSENGER-SIDE ENGINE BLOCK CONTACT POINT HAD CORROSION(RUST) LIMITING ELECTRICAL CURRENT FLOW TO THE WIRING HARNESS. THIS CAUSED TOO MUCH CURRENT TO FLOW TO 2 SMALLER 16 GAUGE GROUNDING WIRES ATTACHED TO THE REAR OF EACH HEMI CYLINDER HEAD TO FRY. THIS DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE CCN BUS COMMUNICATIONS TO THE CPU. ANY DEVICE, MODULE, OR SENSOR ATTACHED TO THE CCN BUS CAN HAVE INTERMITTENT BEHAVIOR. EXAMPLES OF VERY BAD BEHAVIOR IN MY CAR: 1. THE ALARM RANDOMLY GOING OFF WHILE PARKED OR WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. 2. WHILE PARKED AND THE ALARM SET THE SUNROOF DECIDED TO OPEN UP DURING A RAINSTORM FILLING MY CAR WITH 3 INCHES OF RAIN. 3. THE 300C DOESN'T USE A THROTTLE CABLE. IT UTILIZES A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR THAT COMMUNICATES WITH THE CPU OVER THE CCN BUS. JUST TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL WAS THE SAME AS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. IT'S A GOOD THING THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD AND I WAS CLOSE TO HOME. SINCE THIS IS CCN 2-WIRE TWISTED PAIR BUS COMMUNICATION ISSUE ANYTHING THAT COMMUNICATES WITH THE CPU CAN HAVE A RANDOM INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. SINCE THESE CARS ARE GETTING OLDER I HAVE TO THINK THAT THERE ARE OTHER CARS THAT ARE OR WILL HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. PRAY TO GOD THAT YOUR THROTTLE DOESN'T STICK WIDE OPEN LIKE MINE DID. I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOT BURIED ON THE BRAKE WHILE I WAS SCREAMING DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. HAVE FUN COMING TO A STOP OR DRIVING HOME AFTER THAT HAPPENS. FORMALLY I WAS AN I2C BUS COMMUNICATIONS(2 WIRE BUS) EXPERT AT BOTH INTEL CORP AND CISCO SYSTEMS. I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. TODAY I TALKED WITH A BREMERTON CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP TECHNICAL SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. BOTTOM-LINE OVER $3000 TO FIX. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE THAT IS DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT AND NO ONE IS THE WISER. WHY NOT A FACTORY RECALL ISSUE?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR DOORS FAILED TO LOCK SECURELY. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER SWITCH TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS ONLY WORKED TO UNLOCK THE FRONT DOORS. ADDITIONALLY, THE KEY FOB ONLY UNLOCKED THE FRONT AND NOT THE REAR DOORS.

WHENEVER I DO A QUICK ACCELERATION, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR TEMPORARILY LOSE POWER. WHEN THE CAR LOSE POWER, I CANNOT CONTROL IT, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON NO CODES ARE STORED. ALSO, I HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. FOR THE MOST PART, THIS PROBLEM MOSTLY OCCUR DURING ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED AND THROTTLE BODY CLEANED BUT THE PROBLEM PRESIST. FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE REGULAR THROUGHOUT THE CHRYSLER/DODGE FAMILY. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSE THEIR LIFE IN AN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT.

II OWN A 2005 300C WITH 1001,500 MILES. I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHEN THE GAGE WAS STILL SHOWING GAS IN THE TANK WILE DRIVING IN CITY STREETS, AND ONCE IN HIGHWAY.

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY, UNDER 10 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN IT JUST UP AND DIED ON ME. TRIED TO RESTART, BUT WOULD NOT. LET IT SIT FOR 5 MINUTES, PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND HELD IT HALF WAY DOWN AND VEHICLE STARTED. BUT WOULD NOT IDLE. TRIED TO HOLD PEDAL AND PUT IT IN DRIVE.TO LIMP IT HOME, BUT DIED WHEN ENGAGING DRIVE. LONG STORY SHORT, IT WONT START OR RUN UNLESS YOU GIVE IT GAS, WILL NOT IDLE IN PARK, NEUTRAL, REVERSE OR DRIVE, AND THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS. THAT BEING SAID, I'M ASSUMING SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT, MAYBE SEVERAL LIVES LOST BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. YOU PEOPLE DO REALIZE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING YES? LOSS OF BRAKES FOR THE MOST PART, POWER STEERING, ACCELERATION, THE LIST GOES ON...NOW PUT SOMEONE BEHIND THE WHEEL THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO REACT.

WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, AT APPROX. 50 MPH THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR. RPM WAS 4500-5000 (AS THOUGH POSSIBLY STUCK IN OVERDRIVE). I DECELERATED HOPING IT WOULD COMPUTE THE NEED TO SHIFT. IT DIDN'T. I TRIED ACCELERATING SLOWLY AND STILL DIDNT SHIFT. I SLOWED DOWN, PUT EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND TOOK THE NEXT EXIT 1/4 MILE OR LESS AWAY. SINCE THE LIGHT WAS RED AT THE EXIT , I TRIED PUTTING CAR INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE TO SEE IF IT WOULD ('RESET'), INSTEAD THE SHIFT SELECTOR WAS STUCK IN PARK. LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I COULDN'T GET IT IN DRIVE, COULDN'T MOVE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE. WHEN I GOT OFF WORK, SAME THING...STUCK IN PARK. AFTER 4TH TRY, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT IN REVERSE, THEN INTO DRIVE. I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT GETTING ON FREEWAY, PARKED THE CAR 3 DAYS AGO AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE THEN. THE CAR WAS ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR RECALL REPAIRS AT DEALERSHIP FOR TOMORROW. HOPEFULLY I CAN GET IT THERE. (I BOUGHT THIS CAR A WEEK AGO)

TAKATA RECALL . MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS EVERY TIME I FILLED UP THE TANK.TIME PAST TILL I DECIDED TO TAKE A LOOK WHY IT SMELLED LIKE GAS.FURST THING TO CHECK WAS THE FUEL PUPMS.FINDING THST THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD A BUDLE OF GAS ONTOP OF THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING .I REPLACED THE RUBBER GASKET BUT THAT DIDNT HELP AT ALL .SO NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE FUER PUMP BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE A CRACK SOMEWHERE .

THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.
NHTSA THROUGH MAIL ADVISED US TO TAKE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHANGE AIRBAGS. WE DID. JUNE 14,2018. ON NOVEMBER 3,2018 WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE AIRBAG ON THE STEERING WHEEL BLEW UP IN MY FACE INJURING ME AND BURNED ME AND CUT ME. PARAMEDICS CAME AND I WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM. NOT LIFE THREATENING BUT 2 WEEKS IN PAIN AND NOT ABLE TO WORK AND RINGING IN MY EARS FOR A WEEK. MY CAR INSURANCE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO COLLUSION, IT WENT OFF ON ITS OWN, AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED AS DEALERSHIP SAID. THE AIRBAG WENT OFF WHEN CAR WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT SLOWLY IN MOTION.
WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE. HAD FOOT ON BRAKE PUT CAR IN REVERSE THE MOTOR REVVING FLEW BACK WHILE FOOT WAS STILL ON BRAKE. I PURCHASED IT IN 2013 THE ENGINE REVS IN BOTH REVERSE AND DRIVING. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY STATED COULD NOT FIND ANY REASON. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON GAS AS A MATTER OF FACT I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE TRYING TO STOP THE CAR.
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ON THE CITY STREET (OR ANYWHERE), IT JERKS VIOLENTLY AS IT SHIFTS FROM FIRST GEAR INTO SECOND GEAR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WAS RELEASED BACK IN 2006. BUT OF COURSE, NO RECALL WAS ISSUED AND I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THE DEALERSHIP (EVEN THOUGHT I'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR 11 YEARS).
VEHICLE STALLS EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. STALLS WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY OR AT IDLE WHEN TURNING EX. WHEN TURNING AT INTERSECTION OR TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR CAN SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE CAN SOMETIMES BE TURNED ON RIGHT AFTER IT HAS SHUT OFF OR CAN TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO CRANK UP. 10 MINUTES IN A BUSY INTERSECTION IS A LONG TIME WAITING FOR A VEHICLE TO CRANK UP.

THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AFTER STALL BUT WILL STALL IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE LOOKED AT MANY FORUMS AND THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING.

THE SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK? THIS STARTED OFF HAPPENING ON OCCASION. BUT NOW HAS PROGRESSED TO ALMOST A PERMANENT SITUATION. THIS CAUSES A HAZARD BECAUSE IN ORDER TO NOT BEING ABLE TO AVOID BEING STRANDED. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND PUT ON THE PARKING BRAKE. RUNNING THE RISK OF THE CAR ROLLING AND CAUSING A COLLISION. CRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. AS I'M AWARE THAT IT'S A DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PART CAUSING THIS PROBLEM.

I WILL UPDLOAD THE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE DEALER WHEN I GET IT BUT AT THE MOMENT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER.
CHRONIC ODOR OF RAW FUE BOTH WITHIN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE .. DIFFICULT TO ISOLATE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE THE FUMES ARE OVERPOWERING AND EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE TO A CONNECTOR ON THE FUEL LINE.. THIS IS CLEARLY A POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN WHICH, WHILE EXPEDIENT IN MANUFACTURING IS HAZARDOUS TO OWNERS AS FUEL IS EXPELLED ONTO THE ADJACENT EXHAUST SYSTEM

CAR SHUTS OFF AFTER FILLING, WAS JUST EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE STARTING 2 YEARS AGO, BUT NOW IT SHUTS OFF AFTER EVERY FILL UP, AND WHEN IT SHUTS OFF THEN THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. WILL SHUT OFF AS SOON AS I LEAVE THE GAS STATION, AND WILL CONTINUE EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN, FOR APPROX.10 MILES. AFTER BEING REAR ENDED IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT, DUE TO I STARTED TO MOVE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF, BUT THE PERSON BEHIND ME DIDN'T REALIZE MY CAR QUIT AND LIGHTLY HIT ME. I HAVE LEARNED THAT I CAN NO LONGER FILL UP AT ANY GAS STATION, I HAVE TO FILL UP WHERE I KNOW I CAN JUST DRIVE WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN FOR ABOUT 10 MILES. THE CAR WILL STILL SHUDDER LIKE IT ISN'T GETTING GAS, BUT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT FROM SHUTTING OFF TOTALLY AND TRYING TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED AGAIN. I WORRY WHAT DAMAGE IS BEING DONE TO THE REST OF MY CAR WHEN IT SHUDDERS LIKE THAT THOUGH. I SEE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER 2005 300C OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL HAS HAPPENED YET. HOPE THE RECALL HAPPENS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION.

THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN WHEN U FILL THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY UP. I FILLED THE TANK AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND MERGE ON TO HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS OR WARNING THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DOING 65. I LOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE IS HAD TO CONTROL. IT TOOK A SECOND TO START BACK UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP. IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK OR A VALVE GETTING STUCK OPEN/CLOSED IN THE TANK. I FILLED THE TANK AGAIN AND JUST WAITED AT THE GAS STATION TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT DID. I WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE SITTING AT THE GAS STATION.. I LEFT THE GAS STATION AS SOON AS I TURNED OUT OF THE GAS STATION THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF 2 MORE TIMES. I HAVE TO EITHER FILL MY TANK TO 3/4'S A TANK OR PURPOSELY BURN GAS WHEN ON FULL TO NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.

OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT SLOW SPEED AND ENGINE SHUT OFF BY IT SELF, ON A CITY STREET. WHY?
TAKATA RECALL - I WENT TO THE AUTOMAX CHRYSLER DEALER IN SHAWNEE OKLAHOMA IN 2015 TO HAVE THE AIR BAG REPLACED. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE, AND PUT ME ON A LIST.

THE CYLINDER VALVE SEAT FELL OFF THE CYLINDER HEAD, THEN FELL DOWN INTO THE PISTON CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VALVES AND PISTON THUS THE ONLY REPAIR POSSIBLE IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. NOT SURE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS.
TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER RECALL K39 VEHICLE WAS PARKED, WHEN I TURNED ON THE IGNITION, I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT VEHICLE FROM PARK, HOWEVER, CHRYSLER INSISTS MY VEHICLE (BASED ON MY VIN) IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR, HOW CAN CHRYSLER EXCLUDE VEHICLES FROM THE RECALL, WHEN THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL? WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE AS A CONSUMER?
I HAVE A TICKING NOISE IN MY ENGINE DON'T KNOW WHY
VEHICLE HAD A DELAYED START. WHILE IN MOTION THE CAR WOULD DEACCELERATE, SLOW DOWN, AND MISFIRE. THE ESP/ABS INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND AN ALERT WOULD CONTINUE TO SOUND UNTIL THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF. THE CAR MAY OR MAY NOT START AND WHEN STARTED IT CONTINUES TO ALERT THE NEXT DAY. THE CAR CONTINUES TO MISFIRE AND DRIVING OVER 30 MPH IS UNSAFE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES BUT HAS NEVER BEEN PROPERLY FIXED.
THIS CAR WILL STALL AT COMPLETELY RANDOM INTERVALS. IT HAS DONE IT AT SPEED, ON ACCELERATION, ON DECELERATION, AT STOPS. OCCASIONALLY THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE CAR WILL ALSO SPIT, SPUTTER AND BUCK AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35MPH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE CAR, IT REQUIRES BEING PLACED INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK, AND TRYING AT LEAST 3 TIMES BEFORE ENGINE WILL RUN AGAIN. THE CAR WILL USUALLY CONTINUE TO STALL 3-10 TIMES. ON RETURNING TO "DRIVE" THE CAR WILL USUALLY STAY STATIONARY FOR ANOTHER 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE SURGING FORWARD. REVERSE DOES NOT HAVE THIS EFFECT. CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS, WHO CAN PULL NO CODES, AND DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT IS CAUSING THE INTERMITTENT ISSUE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS THERE IS NO WARNING THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL, AND THERE IS NO PATTERN TO WHEN IT WILL STALL. IN GOOGLING THE ISSUE, I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE CHRYSLER CAMPAIGN X53 EXTENDED WARRANTY ON "SOME" 2006 300CS, BUT WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER TO CHECK MY VIN, I WAS TOLD MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS KNOWN DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. THE MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE MANY INSTANCES OF PEOPLE DESCRIBING THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR THIS EXACT CAR. THIS A SERIOUSLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

GEAR SHIFT STUCK IN PARK POSITION VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY
CHRYSLER RECALL #K39 CONSISTED OF MOST 2005 - 2007 WHO HAD OR MAY HAVE THE ISSUE. I PHONED CHRYSLER TO INFORM THEM THAT I NOW HAVE THE ISSUE BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT MY VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED ON JUNE/JULY 24, 2007. MY THOUGHT IS THAT IF IT HAD TO BE MANUFACTURED IN 2007 HOW WOULD ANY 2005-2006 VEHICLE QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. THEN ALL THE REPRESENTATIVE KEPT SAYING IS THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY, WHILE I AM INFORMING HIM THAT IT HAS TO QUALIFY BECAUSE MY SHIFT IS DOING JUST WHAT YOU ALL RECALLED. HE KEPT SAYING, WELL THAT IS NOT ON "YOUR LIST". WELL, I NEED HIM TO ADD IT TO "MY LIST". WHATEVER "LIST" HE IS SPEAKING OF. THE STUCK SHIFT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT ABOUT 11:00PM WHEN I GOT OFF FROM WORK, STARTED MY CAR, WENT TO SHIFT GEARS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I FEEL MY CAR'S SHIFT FAILURE FALLS IN-LINE WITH THE RECALL K39.
SEVERE RUSTING AND ROTTING OF CRADLE AND SUSPENSION. MECHANIC WOULD NOT ALLOW CAR TO PASS INSPECTION.
WHENEVER I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES LATER WHILE I'M DRIVING THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD WILL LIGHT UP AND THE CAR WILL CUT COMPLETELY OFF. I HAVE TO PUT IN IN PARK AND TRY TO RESTART IT ABOUT 5 TIMES, EACH TIME THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND IT JUST STALLS, ONCE IT DOES CATCH THE SPEED FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN BUT ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER IT HAPPENS ALL OVER AGAIN. I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OIL BECAUSE I HAD GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE BEFORE I PUT THE GAS IN THE CAR. THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SO I HAD JUST STOPPED FILLING THE CAR UP AND THIS TIME I FORGOT. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION, YOU CAN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, IT JUST STOPS WHERE EVER YOU ARE, ALL I COULD DO WAS CUT ON THE HAZARDS AND KEEP TRYING TO RESTART IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO RESTART WHILE IT'S ALREADY ON, IT MAKES A SCREECHING SOUND, AND SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TRYING TO CATCH.
THE GEAR SHIFT GETS STUCK IN PARK POSITION. WE HAVE TO INSERT A INK PEN OR SCREW DRIVER INSIDE THE PANEL IN ORDER TO GET IT ANOTHER GEAR. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN 2006 BUT IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. YES, THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND RUMBLES WHEN TURNING WHEEL. BREAK LIGHT CONSTANTLY GOES ON AND OFF.

EVERY TIME I COMPLETELY FILL MY TANK MY CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR DRIVING. AFTER A FEW TIMES RESTARTING THE ENGINE IT WILL BE FINE UNTIL I FILL THE TANK AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOSTLY WHEN THE TANK GOES BELOW 1 QUARTER OF THE TANK. I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS BEFORE FROM OTHER MAKES ABOUT A FUEL FLOAT VALVE IN THE TANK THAT CAN SEND A SIGNAL TO YOUR COMPUTER THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL? THERE IS DEFINITELY A DANGER IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER FULLY FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE EITHER AT IDLE, OR AT LOW SPEED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT GAVE A CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WITH A FAULT CODE TO CHECK THE FUEL CAP. ON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE FUEL CAP WAS PROPERLY SEATED. NOW, WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS, IT NO LONGER GIVES THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT INDICATION. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS LESS THAN COMPLETELY FULL. THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM NHTSA INVESTIGATED IN 2006 CHRYSLER 300S RESULTING IN CHRYSLER EXTENDING THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY TO LIFETIME COVERAGE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AS WHEN THE CAR DIES, ALL POWER IS LOST TO THE CAR TO INCLUDE STEERING AND BRAKING. TYPICALLY THIS OCCURS AT A STOP LIGHT, BUT COULD HAPPEN IN A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS POSITION.
I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND IT MADE A SOUND AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I HAD MY HUSBAND CHECK TO SEE IF THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND HE INFORMED ME THE BATTERY WAS FINE.

ONCE I TURNED THE KEY OFF I NOTICED A RED LIGHT WITH A LIGHTNING BOLT IN THE MIDDLE OF BACKWARDS PARENTHESES. )Z( KIND OF LIKE THIS! I NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME SITUATION, I'M JUST GLAD MINE WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVE WAY AND NOT ON THE MIDDLE OF A STREET!

I HAVE NOT HAD CAR MORE THAN 3 YEARS AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT AND REFUSE TO HELP. IT IS NOT FAIR TO US WHO PAY SO MUCH MONEY ON A CAR THAT CHRYSLER THEM SELF TOLD ME WAS A BIG ISSUE IN THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 V8 HEMI HAVING ENGINE FAILURE AND DON'T EVEN RECOMMEND PEOPLE TO BUY THIS PATICULAR MODEL OF CAR..

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE CAR WILL STALL REPEATEDLY FOR SEVERAL MILES. IT THEN RUNS NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. I RECENTLY BOUGHT THE CAR FOR MY SON WHO JUST TURNED 16. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THE FIRST TIME HE FILLED UP WHILE DRIVING ALONE. NEEDLESS TO SAY HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE STATE HIGHWAY HE WAS DRIVING ON (3 LANES EACH DIRECTION) BEFORE IT TOTALLY STOPPED. THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF SO HE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME EVEN TURNING OFF THE MAIN ROAD. IT NOW HAS DONE THE SAME THING FOR THE LAST 3 FILL UPS WHICH WERE ALL AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO RULE OUT BAD GAS AT A PARTICULAR STATION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
AFTER REFUELING, VEHICLE WILL START MOVING AND THEN ENGINE "CHOKES OUT AND CUTS OFF . ACTING AS IF I JUST PUT IN BAD FUEL. I CAN SIT AND IDEAL AND IT WILL RUN JUST FINE, I CAN RACE THE ENGINE AND THERE IS NOT PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE, JUST AS IT SEEMS TO BECOMING OUT OF 1ST GEAR IT CHOKES OUT AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. I ACCELERATED TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, JUST AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE ENGINE CHOKES OUT AND CUTS OFF AND MY FAMILY WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. EACH TIME ENGINE CUTS OFF I LOOSE BRAKE AND STEERING FUNCTION. THIS IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME NOW, WHEN I FILL THE TANK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL BUT MANY REPORTS TO CHRYSLER SERVICE.

AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK: VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. DIFFICULT RESTARTS. THIS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. AT THE SECOND OCCASION, AFTER FILLING, I COULD HEAR PROLONGED "GURGLING" SOUND FROM FUEL TANK FILLER NECK. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL TANK VENTING SYSTEM - PERHAPS A CLOGGED VENT TUBE.

HOWEVER WHEN A/C IS ON OR OFF CAR SHUTS OFF. ANY RECALLS? VERY FRUSTRATED!
ON 4/15/2015 AND 5/7/2015 THE ENGINE ON OUR CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING AS I WAS MAKING A TURN AT THE INTERSECTION OF TWO STREETS. WE LOST ALL POWER BRAKES AND STEERING TO THE CAR AND I HAD TO LET IT COAST OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I MANUALLY STOPPED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN PARKING GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE ON THE FIRST TRY AND CONTINUED MY TRIP. OBVIOUSLY, THIS RECURRING PROBLEM IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO US AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ADVISE ON WHAT WE SHOULD DO TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTED A.S.A.P. WE HAVE THE CAR SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIC AND WE DO NOT NEGLECT THE CAR. *TR
THE K39 TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK LEAVER WENT BAD. IT WOULD NOT LET ME TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2007 CHRYLSER 300C, BUT NOT ON THE 2005. I FOUND NUMEROUS CLAIM ON LINE ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PIECE IN THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. *TR
MY WIFE WAS TAKING OUR TWO KIDS TO SCHOOL WHEN THE CAR MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE WHEN FIRST TRYING TO START THE CAR EARLY IN THE MORNING. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND THAT THE CYLINDER VALVE SEAT FELL OFF THE CYLINDER HEAD AND FELL DOWN INTO THE PISTON CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VALVES AND PISTON. REPLACING THE ENGINE FOR $8000 WAS AN OPTION, HOWEVER YOU ARE REPLACING IT WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURES DEFECT OF THIS ENGINE FOR 2005-2006 CHRYSLER 300 C. THIS HAPPENED 4 MONTHS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING CAR UP WITH GAS. *TR
WE WERE ON A CROSS-COUNTRY TRIP AND ONE NIGHT WE HAD JUST FILLED UP AND WENT ACROSS THE PARKING LOT TO A FAST FOOD WINDOW AND WHILE GETTING OUR FOOD THE CAR STARTING JERKING AND DIED. IT WAS HARD TO START BUT FINALLY WE WERE ABLE TO GO A LITTLE FURTHER AND IT DIED AT OUR HOTEL. THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WHENEVER WE FILLED UP THE CAR WOULD STALL SEVERAL TIMES. IT STOPPED FOR AWHILE BUT RECENTLY HAS STARTED DYING AGAIN WHEN I FILL UP. LAST NIGHT I FILLED UP AND THE CAR DIED SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC. WE DO NOT OVERFILL AND TIGHTEN THE GAS CAP TIGHTLY. *TR
OUR ENGINE WENT OUT AND NEEDED REPLACED WHEN CAR WAS UNDER 80,000 MILES. IT HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR OVER $3000. NOW WE ARE TOLD THAT THE CRADLE/SUBFRAME THAT HOLDS THE ENGINE IN IS RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING OUR VEHICLE PROBLEMS WHEN TURNING RIGHT. IT'S READY TO BREAK AND CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS IF WE CONTINUE DRIVING IT!!! I'VE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS WITH BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ONLINE THAT PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED TO THE COMPANY. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET A RECALL? A DEATH AS RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT CAUSED FROM DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE KIDS...ITS UNSAFE AND COSTLY... WHAT A JUNK CAR CHRYSLER :( *TR

MY 2005 300C 5.7L RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF FOR A SPLIT SECOND THAN START AGAIN IF I'M MOVING. I'M I'M AT LOW SPEED BELOW 10 OR AT A STOP THE CAR WITH DIE. I CAN RESTART BUT IT CAN TAKE A SECOND TO GO BACK IN GEAR. I'VE SEEN MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOONE HAS HAD A GOOD FIX. THIS IS NOT ONLY AFTER FUELING WITH MY CAR IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE HARD WHILE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. 60+. *TR
AFTER REFUELING, ENGINE STOPS RUNNING AT LOW SPEED OR IDLE. ENGINE RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY. AFTER SEVERAL MILES AND 4 OR 5 RESTARTS ENGINE RUNS SMOOTHLY. DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF LOSS OF ACCELERATION, STEERING AND BRAKING. *TR
THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH BECAUSE OF FAULTY AIRBAG HOUSING BUT MONTHS LATER AND STILL NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THIS!!! *TR
I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, GOING 25 MPH WHEN I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD HIT BUT, IT WASN'T. I KEPT DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 BLOCKS WHEN IT OCCURRED AGAIN. I PULLED INTO A SERVICE STATION AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS MY TIE RODS. I CONTACTED A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT ITS WAS THE TIE RODS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM IN ALL THE YEARS I HAVE HAD MY CAR, BUT THIS IS A FIRST. NOT SURE IF THIS IS UNDER A RECALL OR IF ANYONE ELSE IS EXPERIENCING THIS, BUT IT CAN BE FRIGHTENING. *TR
AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STAYS ON. *TR
SIMILAR TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE'S ISSUES. I GET FUEL AND THEN WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL STALL. HAPPENS FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER I GET GAS NOT EVEN A COMPLETELY FULL TANK. IT BECOMES A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE I LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHEN IT STALLS. WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AS IT CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY MUST BE AWARE OF.

WHILE DRIVING AUTOMOBILE, NOTICED HEADLAMPS & DASH LIGHTS DIMMING AND SHUTTING OFF. TURNED HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES, WHICH RESULTED IN THE HEADLAMPS TURNING BACK ON. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR
I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAST LANE ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN. IT TOOK ALL MY MIGHT TO MOVE THE CAR FROM THE FAST LANE TO THE MEDIAN, WHICH WAS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SLOW LANE. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED DUE TO THE SPEEDS OF THE CARS AROUND ME.THIS WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING SITUATION I'VE EVER BEEN IN!! I AM NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE UNTIL NEXT MONTH. THE CAR NEVER SOUNDED FUNNY OR ANYTHING. *TR

I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND WHEN I LEFT THE GAS STATION, ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO DRIFT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT WENT BAD. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN A CAR STALLS PULLING OUT ON TO A BUSY HIGHWAY.

FOR LAST YEAR IF WE FILL THE GAS TANK TO FULL THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE FUEL STATION. HIGHLY DANGEROUS. MY WIFE DOESN'T FILL THE TANK ANYMORE AFTER THREE INCIDENTS WHERE SHE WAS ALMOST HIT DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL WE MOVED CAR TO FLORIDA. MAYBE RELATED TO GAS TEMPERATURE IN GAS STATION VERSUS FUEL TEMPERATURE IN CAR? *TR
2005 CHRYSLER 300 HEMI 5.7. IF YOU ALMOST FILL GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL OUT WITHOUT WARNING FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS. I HAVE ASKED THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY SHOW NO TSB OR RECALL. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE SEEN MANY ARTICLES ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FILLING UP. IN REFERENCE TO PE13016, THE ACTION REFERS TO CARS FROM MODEL YEARS 2005 AND 2006. YET, THE FINAL INVESTIGATION RESULTS ONLY INCLUDE THE 2006 MODEL YEAR? 2005 CARS ARE ALSO AFFECTED. THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED NOT ONLY IN COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE BUT ALL OVER IN INTERNET FORUMS. YOU KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM, CHRYSLER KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM THUS A RECALL OF THE MODEL YEAR 2006. DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL MODEL YEAR 2005 BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WHEN THE VEHCLE DIES YOU LOSE YOUR POWER BRAKES, YOUR POWER STEERING, AND YOU ARE A SITTING DUCK. RECALL THE 2005'S AND FIX THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. *JS

FILLED UP AT COSTCO AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE CAR STALLED, RESTARTED AND STALLED FIVE MORE TIMES IN THREE MILES. THE STALLING DOES CREATE A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION. *TR
MY CHRYSLER 300 TOURING BEGAN TO STALL ANY TIME I REFUELED IN WINTER MONTHS. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED THE "VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE". THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. WHEN THE PROBLEM RESURFACED I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NOW WAS A VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK AND THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. COST OF REPLACEMENT WAS ABOUT $2500. THE SERVICE TECH SAID JUST DON'T FILL UP THE TANK TO AVOID THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DOING THAT IN THE WINTER EVER SINCE BUT LAST NIGHT AFTER REFUELING IT WAS FINE UNTIL I WAS DRIVING AROUND TRAFFIC CIRCLE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR ENTERING THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE BEHIND ME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS ISSUE! *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED.

UPDATED 3/24/15*CN THE CONSUMER STATED EVERY TIME HE FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, IT WOULD STALL. UPDATED 03/31/15
AFTER REFUELING MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C, IT WILL STALL AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAVE READ THE REPORT PE13-016, WHICH COVERS THE 2006 CHRYSLER MODEL. *TR
THE CAR RIDES SMOOTH ON GOOD ROADS BUT ON ROUGH ROADS IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING IS FALLING OFF UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THE BUSHINGS REPLACED AND TIE RODS REPLACED. THE FRONT END SHOP AND MY MECHANIC HAVE BOTH TRIED TO FIND WHAT WAS MAKING ALL THE NOISE AND BANGING AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING THAT IS LOOSE WHEN IT IS ON THE LIFT. I LOVE THE CAR BUT THE NOISES ARE IRRITATING AND EMBARRASSING TO THOSE THAT RIDE WITH ME. COULD NOT GET THE APPROX. DATE TO WORK, IT BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS HELP!! *TR
CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE. ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE REGULARLY. CAME HOME TUESDAY NIGHT. ATTEMPTED TO START CAR NEXT MORNING WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. CAR WAS TOWED TO SHOP AND MECHANIC ADVISED NO COMPRESSION ON #3 CYLINDER. ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT. HOW CAN A CAR RUN FINE ONE DAY AND WITH NO WARNING INDICATOR ALERTS AND NO TROUBLE RUNNING NEED A NEW ENGINE THE NEXT? MECHANIC STATES POSSIBLE VALVE SPRING CAME APART. *TR
RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING POSSIBLE AIRBAG DEFECT. NOTIFIED DEALER FIRST OF DECEMBER 2014. HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING SINCE. NOTICE STATED IF NO RESPONSE FROM DEALER WITHIN REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, TO NOTIFY YOU. WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME? *TR
THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. I REFUEL THE CAR. THE CAR STARTS FINE. LEAVING THE GAS STATION I SLOW DOWN BEFORE ENTERING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE STALLS. I RESTART THE ENGINE FINE. I PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND IF I MAKE A LEFT TURN, AND APPLY THE BRAKES AFTER ENTERING THE TURN, THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR ALWAYS RESTARTS FINE. HOWEVER, THE CAR WILL THEN STALL AT AN IDLE CONDITION, AS WHEN WAITING FOR A LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. AFTER A FEW RESTARTS, OR PROLONGED DRIVING, THE CONDITION GOES AWAY. HOWEVER, IT SCARES MY WIFE SILLY. I JUST READ THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 AND I AM TAKING THIS CAR TO LINWOOD CHRYSLER THIS TUESDAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE MYSELF, AND TO LET YOU KNOW MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. BY THE WAY, WHEN THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
FILLED UP TANK AT GAS STATION AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED, RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY BUT FELT SLUGGISH. STARTED A RIGHT TURN AND ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN! THIS REALLY SCARRED ME AS IT WAS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! I RESTARTED AND STALLED A BLOCK LATER. I TOOK CAR TO A MECHANIC TO TEST GAS AND HE FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. THE CAR RAN FINE THE NEXT DAY. ON 1-17-2015 I STOPPED AT COSTCO TO FILL UP, CAR STALLED IMMEDIATELY AS I STARTED TO PULL AWAY THE GAS STATION. CAR DIED ABOUT 5 OTHER TIMES WITHIN THE PARKING LOT OF COSTCO. THE CAR WOULD RESTART IMMEDIATELY. I DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO THE EXPRESS WAY AND DROVE 35 MILES HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE UNEXPECTED STALLING OF THE ENGINE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IN MY CASE, THIS SECOND TIME I WAS ON A BUSY PARKING LOT ON A SATURDAY WITH CARS TURNING AND CERTAINLY NO ONE EXPECTS A CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, OVER THE YEARS I HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WHERE THE STATION GAS PUMP WOULD STOP EVEN AFTER PUMPING LESS THAN HALF A GALLON. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP AT THE STATION AND I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER PUMP OR ANOTHER STATION AND IT WOULD FILL UP OK. *TR
AFTER REFUELING, THE CAR STARTED AND THEN DIED. I RESTARTED AND THEN PULLED AWAY. IT DIED AGAIN AT THE TWO FOLLOWING STOPS. IT THEN DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL AT 15 MPH. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED WITHIN 2 MILES OF REFUELING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED FOLLOWING EACH EVENT. AFTER PARKING THE CAR FOR SEVERAL HOURS THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. A SIMILAR EPISODE HAPPENED THE NEXT TIME I REFUELED AS WELL. *TR
CAR STALLS 6 TO 9 TIMES AFTER GAS FILLUP. *TR
THE AIR BAG LIGHT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ALWAYS ON. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FUELING. *TR
FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, MY CHRYSLER 300C WOULD OCCASIONALLY STALL. MOSTLY IT WOULD BE AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR WOULD STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I JUST RECENTLY REALIZED, IT WOULD OCCUR WHEN I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS SHOCKING THAT AN ISSUE LIKE THIS COULD GO THIS LONG WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS, DUE TO THIS ISSUE... I COULD SEE THIS ISSUE BECOMING MORE OF AN NOTICEABLE PROBLEM, DUE TO THE LOWER GAS PRICES. I USUALLY PUT IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY WHEN I FILL UP. NOT UNTIL MORE RECENTLY, WITH THE LOWER GAS PRICES, THAT AMOUNT FILLS MY TANK. THAT IS WHY IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO REALIZE THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK. *TR
I STARTING DRIVING FROM THE INTERSECTION THE LIGHT HAD JUST TURNED GREEN. AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE INTERSECTION THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAR AND STOPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. MY WORK ASSOCIATE WHO WAS IN THE WITH ME SAID THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE I HAD JUST LOSS MY REAR-END. WHEN I GOT THE CAR TO MY PRIVATE MECHANIC HE SAID THE REAR-END WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACING. *TR

OTHER VEHICLE CROSSED OVER YELLOW LINE AND HIT OUR CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE ON DRIVERS SIDE ALL THE WAY TO BACK AND KNOCKED OFF THE BACK DRIVERS WHEEL AND SENT US SPINNING AROUND INTO AND WRAPPED AROUND TELEPHONE POLE. MY LEGS WERE PINNED UNDER DASH AND COULDN'T MOVE, PASSENGER DOOR HAD BEEN BADLY DAMAGED AND PUSHED IN ABOUT ONE FOOT. HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE CAR TO GET ME OUT, TAKEN TO ER.

WE DO HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES TO BACK UP OUR CLAIM. *TR
I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 IN 2012. THE CAR CAME WITH 4 COOPER TIRES, CS4-265R17. IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 I NOTICED A WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO BE SERVICED (BALANCE/ROTATION/ALIGNMENT). AFTER ALL THIS WORK THE CAR STILL WOBBLED. SO MECHANIC TOOK OFF EACH TIRE TO INVESTIGATE. WHICH HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE BANDS IN THE TIRE HAVE SEPARATED. I PURCHASED A NEW TIRE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO RISK THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD. *TR

UNABLE TO SHIFT GEAR OUT OF PARKING POSITION. THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED AUGUST 2009 AND IS HAPPENING AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE ISSUE WILL SURFACE AND RECENTLY, I WAS IN A NOT SO NICE NEIGHBORHOOD AND FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS OF CUTTING MY CAR OFF AND ON AND EXECUTING THE BRAKES, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR GOING AGAIN. SO OVER THIS ISSUE RIGHT NOW. *TR
THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS FAULTY. THE HEADLIGHTS BEGIN TO FLASH AND WILL NOT STAY ON. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! *TR
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 264 THE FIRST TIME THAT THE RED FLASHING BOLT CAME ON THE DASH OF MY CHRYSLER 300 TOURING, 2005, I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 60 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DROPPED DOWN TO LESS THAN 30 MILES. IT WENT INTO THE LIMP HOME MODE. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS IN WHICH ONE PERSON SAID THAT HE HAD THE EQUIPMENT TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. WELL WE GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING EVEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE REGULAR STREETS. WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THE CAR WAS WORST EVEN AFTER TAKING IT BACK THREE TIMES. WE WERE CHARGED OVER $2000.00 BETWEEN THE TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THE CAR IS IN WORST SHAPE THAN WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO GET REPAIRED. I EMAILED CHRYSLER AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE LIST THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. IF CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT, WHO CAN? I PUT IN A SPECIAL ORDER FOR MY CAR BECAUSE I WANTED THE LIGHT GREEN COLOR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE EVER ORDERED A CAR FROM A COMPANY AND THIS IS HOW I AM TREATED. I THANK GOD THAT NO ONE HIT ME IN THE BACK WHEN THIS CAR WAS DOING THIS. IT HAS BEEN PARKED, BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE CAR. *TR
PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2012 WITH A 3 MONTH WARRANTY. 1 MONTH LATER LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING OCCASIONALLY. THEN WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON LOCAL HIGHWAY LIGHTS WENT OUT TOTALLY. PULLED OFF ROAD AND WAITED UNTIL THEY CAME BACK ON. TOOK BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT, THEY TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS "REPROGRAMMED". NO PROBLEMS UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AGAIN. JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY GO OUT TOTALLY AGAIN AT NIGHT DRIVING DOWN SOME DARK COUNTRY ROAD. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL GET KILLED BEFORE I CAN GET THIS CAR BACK TO A DEALERSHIP, AND THIS TIME I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER HAS NO INTEREST IN PROVIDING A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME STUCK IN PARK. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.
AFTER FILLING MY FUEL TANK THE CAR WOULD STALL AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 5 - 30 MPH CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. UPON SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL IT WOULD START BUT WOULD STALL 2 OR 3 MORE TIMES. I WAS NOT SURE OF THE CAUSE UNTIL JUNE OF THIS YEAR WHEN I GOT A NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. THIS WAS 7/16/2014. TO DATE THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART AND I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT PRODUCING THEM. THE CAR IN THIS STATE IS NOT SAFE. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WERE GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THERE MUST BE SOME RECOURSE TO FORCE A MANUFACTURER TO HONOR A RECALL. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO REDUCE IN SPEED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.
IN JULY, I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. MY CAR WENT DEAD - ENGINE STOPPED, LIGHTS, RADIO WENT OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. NEXT OCCURRENCE WAS ABOUT A MONTH LATER AT A STOP SIGN AGAIN. LAST OCCURRENCE WAS SEPTEMBER 22, 2014 - THIS TIME THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS DECELERATING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 60 MPH - THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT FLASHED AND THE ESP BAS LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AT A STOP SIGN. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. MY MECHANIC HAS INSTALLED A PROGRAM UPDATE B/C HE COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I DO KNOW I FILLED UP MY CAR THE FRIDAY PRIOR TO THE LAST OCCURRENCE AND DID NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL THE MONDAY AM WHEN THIS LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR
THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOOSE MY POWER STEERING AND HAVE TO TRY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF IT WILL THEN RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS FROM10-70. THE SECOND ISSUE IS SOMETIMES THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD ON ITS OWN OR ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WHAT I AM PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THESE CARS AND WE ALL SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT WHEN WE TAKE IT TO MECHANICS SINCE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT THEY CAN'T TELL US WHAT'S WRONG. I HAVE HAD SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS WITH THESE ISSUES AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS. I AM SURE THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THESE SAME ISSUES BUT IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN TRACED BACK TO THE CAR, IT WAS PROBABLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. *TR
I REAR ENDED A CAR.THE HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED AND NOW MY HEAD LIGHTS BLINK WHILE I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT. PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE OR THE MECHANIC WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.MY 2005 CHRYSLER300 C ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING.MY LOCAL DEALER DELRAY MOTORS. WHERE DO I TURN? OR CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX IT .MY WINDOWS WONT GO DOWN MY AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF.PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.I ALSO EMAILED THE NATIONAL HWY SAFETY COMPANY, BUT STILL NO RESPONSE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK AND VAPOR CANISTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
STOPPED AT STOP SIGN ALL LIGHTS ON INST PANEL CAME ON FOR ABOUT 10 SEC THEN THEY ALL WENT OFF EXCEPT ESP LIGHT. TACHOMETER WENT TO 0 AND AC WENT OFF. 10 SECONDS LATER ALL RECOVERED, BUT SOON ALL BACK TO NORMAL ,THEN EVENTS STARTED AGAIN. KEPT THIS UP FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND AFTER TURNING CAR OFF STAYING FOR 1 1/2 HOUR STARTED CAR AND ALL WAS NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR AND LOCAL CHRYSLER HAS SAID HARD TO DIAGNOSE AND WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE.AS LONG AS IT CLEARS IT SELF KEEP DRIVING IT. PROBABLY LOOSE CONNECTION OR SMALL SHORT IN CIRCUIT BOARD. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT THE GEAR BECAME STUCK IN PARK WHEN TRYING TO REVERSE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 183,000.
I COULD NOT SHIFT MY CAR OUT OF PARK. I WAS SO SURPRISED I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. ICALLED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED IN. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN A SMALL PINK PLASTIC PIECE, CALLED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. THIS PART WAS RECALLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL OR IF MY CAR WAS EVEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. FURTHER RESEARCH DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL, SHOWN AS FOR MODEL YEARS 2005-2008, WAS ACTUALLY INCLUDED BUT DID NOT KNOW SO PAID FOR REPAIR. I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT THE RECALL. NEVER!!!!! *TR
ON SATOT HAVING BE.8/30/14 MY 300C WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I NOT USED THE CARE TO GO TO MY VETERANS HOSPITAL APPOINTMENTS AND COULD NOT GO BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE GEAR SHIFTER OUT OF PARK! I HAD TO CALL USAA FOR A TOW ON A FLATBED TRUCK TO DARCARS CHRYSLER WALDORF,MD WHO HAS MAINTAINED HIS CAR FOR MANY YEARS. I WAS TOLD BY THE ICE MANAGER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A PINK PLASTIC PIECE IN THE CENTER COUNSEL AND ITS SPRING THAT FAILED, AND IS A COMMON OCCURANCE IN THIS VEHICLE LEAVING IT UNABLE TO MOVE AT ALL-TRASMISSION AND REAR WHEELS LOCKED BY SHIFTER. I CHECKED YOUR PAGES FOR RECALLS AND I SAW TWO RECENT ONES OF THE SAME CAR/STYLE/YEARAS MINE. I NEED MY CAR IT HAS VETERANS "DV' PLATES AS I AM TOTALLY COMBAT WOUNDED AND DISABLED. I THINK CHRYSLER MUST PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT IS THEIR FAULT, THEY KNEW IT FOR YEARS, AND I AM THINKMING OF FILING A FEDERAL COURT CLASS ACTION UNDER 28 USC IN .MD AS WAS AGAINST GM AND FORD.
MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C HAS ONLY 44240 MILES N IT AND NOT ABUSED SINCE MY WIFE AND I ARE TOTALLY DISABLED VTRANS WITH SPECIAL "DV" REGISTRATION SO WE CAN BE DRIVEN TO THE VTRANS HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL SERVICES. ON SAT8/30/14 WHILE IN THE GARAGE AND NOT BEING USED FOR AT LEAST A WEEK, MY CAR'S STICK TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE USE OR MOVEMENT OF THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE. THE USAA TOW TRUCK CARRIER HAD TO DRAG THE REAR END OF THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE ONTO THE FLATBED TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN WALDORF, MD, WHERE ALL THE WARRANTY WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS CAR FROM "DAY ONE!" I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE 2 CHEAP PLASTIC PINK SWITCHES ON THE STICK MECHANISM THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A CHARGE OF ABOUT $250 TO ME AND THE TOW CHARGE ALSO AND THIS WAS RECURRING COMMON "PROBLEM "WITH THE CAR YEAR AND REPORTED TO CHRYSLER AS A RECALL. I WILL INITIATE A CLASS ACTION SUIT IF NECESSARY UNDER 28 USC IN FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT IN GREENBELT, MD, FOR REDRESS OF ANY COSTS TO ME. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IN MOTION, THIS GEAR SHIFT COULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY CHANGE IN GEAR IN ANY EMERGENCY AND CAUSE THE DRIVER TO PANIC. *TR
BUBBLES IN BACK LEFT TIRE, WHEEL SHAKING, TRUNK CLOSED ON OWNERS HAND. THE DEALERSHIP HOLLYWOOD KIA DID NOT TAKE CAR BACK NEXT DAY, WE LEFT KEYS WITH RECEPTIONIST WHO REFUSED TO GIVE A RECEIPT, KEPT 2000 DEPOSIT AND IS SELLING THE ONLINE FOR 2000 MORE THAN WE PAID. MY NAME STILL ON TITLE. *TR
I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING, MY FIRST MAJOR PROBLEM OCCURRED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, A RED LIGHTENING BOLT SYMBOL ON THE DASH CAME ON, AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 10MPH, TOOK TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, FOR THEM TO SAY I NEEDED A NEW PCM, WHICH BY THE WAY WAS ROUGHLY $1500. HAD THAT REPLACED, CAR DROVE JUST FINE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS, ALL THE SUDDEN IT DOES IT AGAIN, THAT SAME RED SYMBOL AND ESP BAS SYMBOL, BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, TO SAY NOW IT COULD BE A THROTTLE BODY, HAD THAT REPLACED ROUGHLY $500, PICKED MY CAR UP THE DAY IT WAS FINISHED, DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, SAME HAUNTING SYMBOLS CAME BACK ON, OH YES, NOT TO MENTION LIKE 2 MONTHS AGO, MY CAR GEAR WAS STUCK IN PARK, THANK GOODNESS A LEVER FIXED THAT PROBLEM, ABOUT $125. SO YES, I'M GOING CRAZY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS RED LIGHTENING BOLT SYMBOL AND ESP BAS, HONESTLY I THINK THESE CHRYSLER'S NEED A MAJOR RECALL, SOMETHING JUST ISN'T RIGHT. THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE CHRYSLER'S 300 FROM WHAT I'VE READ. I HAVE YET TO STILL TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I JUST CAN'T WHY UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZES IN THESE SPECIFIC CARS, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS. *TR
ON MANY OCCASIONS, MY CAR HAS BEEN STUCK IN PARK. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS, AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER 300'S. SOME OF THE CARS WERE RECALLED, BUT OF COURSE, MINE WAS NOT. HOWEVER, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE CARS THAT WERE RECALLED. SOMETHING UNDER THE GEAR SHIFTER BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IN THE PAST, IT WOULD COME UNSTUCK AFTER A FEW MINUTES, BUT NOW, I THINK IT IS FINALLY FULLY MESSED UP! I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS. I'VE TRIED PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT APPLIED), I'VE TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RE-CRANKING IT, I'VE TRIED PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK, I'VE TRIED SHIFTING THE GEAR WHILE ON ACCESSORY, WITH IT RUNNING, WITH IT IN THE ON POSITION... NOTHING HAS WORKED. I'VE EVEN TRIED TALKING TO IT NICELY! THE SHIFTER JUST WON'T MOVE. :( AFTER READING ONLINE FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, MANY PEOPLE SAY THAT THE PART THAT MESSES UP IS PLASTIC. SOMETHING THAT GETS MOVED AS MUCH AS A GEAR SHIFTER DOES SHOULD NOT BE MADE OUT OF PLASTIC! I'M HOPING MANY OTHER PEOPLE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL ALL OF THE CARS WITH THIS SAME PLASTIC (OR FAULTY) PART!!!!! *TR
THE VEHICLE WILL FREQUENTLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER. IT ALSO STALLS, THE GEAR SHIFT HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT IT CUT OFF ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN TODAY AT 75MPH!! VERY DANGEROUS!! LUCKILY THE SEMI TRUCK WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND ME BUT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.... *TR
AFTER REFUELING I PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT. I WAS TURNING RIGHT. I STOPPED BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS RED. A CAR WAS TRAVELING IN THE DIRECTION I WAS HEADED, BUT WAS ABOUT HUNDRED YARDS AWAY. I MADE THE RIGHT TURN AND IMMEDIATELY MY CAR BEGAN TO CHUG THEN JUST STALLED OUT. I WAS DEAD IN THE STREET. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR TO AVOID A NEAR COLLISION, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. THE CAR THAT I HAD PULLED IN FRONT OF EVENTUALLY MADE IT TO WHERE I WAS AT AND SWERVED TO AVOID THE COLLISION. AFTER SEVERAL (3) ATTEMPTS AT STARTING THE VEHICLE; IT STARTED. WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. CHUGGING THEN STALLED OUT. THIS TIME IM GETTING HONKED AT BY THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME TO GO AT THE GREEN LIGHT. I ENDED UP HOLDING TRAFFIC UP UNTIL THE NEXT GREEN LIGHT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE TO SEE IF ANY RECALLS EXISTED ON WHAT SEEMED TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH 2005-2006 300C MODELS. CHRYSLER SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR THE TANK REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT. THE ESTIMATE WAS OVER $1200. I EXPRESSED MY SAFETY CONCERN, BUT WAS AGAIN TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I AM LATE ON THE REPORTING BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW OF THE NHTSA UNTIL A COWORKER MENTIONED IT. *TR
I COULD NOT SHIFT MY CAR OUT OF PARK. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND A KNOWN DEFECT IN A SMALL PINK PLASTIC PIECE, CALLED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. THIS PART WAS RECALLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULD FIX IT ON WEDNESDAY (SIX DAYS LATER) AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. FURTHER RESEARCH DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL, SHOWN AS FOR MODEL YEARS 2005-2008, WAS ACTUALLY LIMITED TO MANUFACTURE DATES IN THIS RANGE. MY CAR WAS BUILT IN 2004. THE REPAIR COST $134, INCLUDING THE $13 PART. I CALLED CHRYSLER TWICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. IT ALSO SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THAT NOT COVERING THE FIRST CARS BUILT, IN 2004, IS A CLERICAL OVERSIGHT, AS 2005 WAS THE FIRST MODEL YEAR. THE SAME POOR-QUALITY PLASTIC WAS USED IN 2004 AS IN 2005-2008. I BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR, IF NOT ALSO FOR THE 6 DAYS WITHOUT USE OF MY CAR, AND THAT ALL CARS BUILT WITH THIS INFERIOR PINK PLASTIC PIECE SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
I WAS LEAVING WORK AND STARTED MY CAY AND WENT TO PUT IT IN REVERSE AND NOTHING HAPPEN. IT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THE GEAR WAS LOCKED IN PARK . I CALLED A TOW TRUCK, AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE GEAR SHIFT FOR CHRYSLER 300S .I CALL THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT "YES THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THAT PARTICULAR PART, BUT NOT ON MY YEAR VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT MY YEAR MODEL. IF ITS A PROBLEM IN OTHER YEAR MODEL, THEN IT MAKES SENSE THAT IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANY YEAR MODEL 300. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO THIS HAS HAPPENED TO UNEXPECTED, AND I DON'T FEEL THE DEALERSHIP IS BEING FAIR TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE 2005 300 AWD MODEL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT SHIFT IN AND OUT OF THE PARK POSITION PROPERLY. THE SHIFTER HAD TO BE TAMPERED WITH IN ORDER TO SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW. MY WIFE FILL HER GAS TANK AND WHEN DRIVING OFF THE GAS LOT, HER VEHICLE DIED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPEN ALMOST EVERY TIME SHE GETS GAS. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND FROM READING MANY, MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH CHRYSLER HAS REPLACED THE GAS TANK ON THE 2006 MODEL BUT NOT THE 2005. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. I KNOW I WILL BE CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR
CAR STUCK IN PARK. *TR
AFTER FILLING UP, THE CAR DIED WHILE LEAVING THE GAS LOT ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR STARTED, IT DROVE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DIED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. I ALSO NOTICE WHAT MY MECHANIC CALLS A TOWING EFFECT WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE HAD A FULL FUNE UP ON THE CAR ALONG WITH HAVING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AND THE CAR STILL DIES AND HAS THE TOWING EFFECT WHEN I DRIVE. THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE AND FROM SEEING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING, WHY HASN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN ADDRESSED. IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS, THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT. *TR
GEAR SHIFT STUCK IN PARK. CALLED CHRYSLER DEALER ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED, BUT SAID "YOUR VIN" ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL THAT THEY HAVE ON IT. ITS SOME PINK PLASTIC THING THAT BREAKS, THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 - TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER" APPARENTLY ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN "VIN"S. CHATTED ONLINE WITH "CUSTOMER CARE" AGENT AT CHRYSLER WHICH WAS BRIEF, SHE STATED MY VIN ISN'T COVERED I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS, AS SHE WAS RUDE, SO I DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER AS TO WHY ONLY SOME VINS ARE BEING FIXED WHEN THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE PROBLEM. A SIMPLE SEARCH ON-LINE BRINGS UP OVER 150K RESULTS, AND I SEE HERE THERE ARE COMPLAINTS TOO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AN ACTUAL METAL SOLID REPLACEMENT PIECE COSTS $15, I'LL HAVE TO GET THE DEALER OR A MECHANIC TO INSTALL IT (THE DEALERS REPLACE WITH SAME PLASTIC PIECE OR REPLACE WHOLE SHIFTER)... SEEMS THIS IS ANOTHER "GM IGNITION SWITCH" WAITING TO HAPPEN. HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE WON'T CAUSE ANY DEATHS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY ONLY SOME VINS ARE BEING FIXED. *TR
MY 2005 300C HAS BEEN STALLING SINCE JANUARY 2014, I LATER FOUND OUT DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL TANK. I HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF STALLING AND ENGINE SHUTTERING HARD, AND VERY HARD RESTARTS ALMOST GETTING T-BONED TWO TIMES DURING THE STALL AND RESTART PROCESS. WHILE ON THE WAITING LIST FOR A NEW TANK, MY HEMI ENGINE BLEW UP COSTING 6K FOR A NEW MOTOR. THIS ENGINE WAS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED WITH RECORDS, I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ASKED THEIR ENGINEERS TO INVESTIGATE "IF THE ENGINE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE TANK HYDRO LOCKING". AFTER MANY CALLS TO UNHELPFUL PEOPLE, SOME OF WHOM DID NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE TANK ISSUE, THE SUPERVISOR REFUSED TO ESCALATE MY REQUEST TO ENGINEERING AND SUMMARILY CLOSED THE CASE, IN SPITE OF HIS EMPLOYEE FIRST TELLING ME TO PROVE IT AND HELPING ME GET A TEAR DOWN QUOTE FROM THE LOCAL DEALER FOR A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS. SO NOW THEY SAY EVEN IF I PROVE IT, THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE IF TANKS ARE THE CAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURES AND THEY CLOSED MY CASE. I THINK IT IS DOUBLY UNSAFE IF THE BAD TANKS ARE ALSO BLOWING ENGINES, AND IT IS BAD CORPORATE BEHAVIOR TO DENY A LINK BUT REFUSE TO HAVE THE ENGINEERING DEPT. LOOK AT THE POSSIBILITY OF A LINKAGE. THE OUTRIGHT REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE OR ASSIST EVEN IF/WHEN I PROVE THAT THE TANK CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BLOW, IS BEYOND UNETHICAL AND I REQUEST THAT THE LINK BETWEEN BAD TANKS AND BLOWN ENGINES BE INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA AND SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED, AND OTHER APPROPRIATE MEASURE TO MITIGATE THIS. *JS
THIS CAR HAS ISSUES FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO ELECTRICAL THE COMPANY NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THEM BETTER. *TR
I HAVE A HEMI ENGINE. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR IT STARTED STALLING ON ME WHEN MY GAS TANK WAS ON EMPTY AND I FILED IT UP. ON THE FREEWAY A FEW TIMES AND IT STALLS!! I TOOK TO DIFFERENT SHOPS AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT. NOW MY PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. IT STALLS ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER GAS. IT SPIT AND JERKS. COMPLETELY DANGEROUS. I AM A ACCIDENT INJURY ADJUSTER THAT DOES CLAIMS EVERYDAY ALL DAY, AND IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS , I WILL SUE BOTH CHRYSLER AND NHTSA. SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND AS I AM GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED AND WANT THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
WHEN I START MY CAR (2005 CHRYSLER 300C) THE GEAR SHIFT IS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. CAR STARTS NORMALLY, NO READINGS ON DASH, GAVE NO INDICATION THAT A FAILURE WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND GAVE MY VIN NUMBER TO CHECK FOR RECALLS, THERE ARE NONE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND VIDEOS ON HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WHEN I SEARCHED THE ISSUE ON LINE. CHRYSLER USED WHAT AMOUNTS TO A PLASTIC TIE AND A SPRING TO CONTROL A 35K VEHICLE. *TR
VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LIKE THE KEY WOULD BE PULLED OUT, WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY, SOME TIMES WOULD NOT START AT ALL BEFORE A TRIP. IT HAPPENS DAILY AND AFTER GOING TO 3 MECHANICS AND 1 CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THE ISSUE CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED. NO CODES ARE STORED AND THEREFORE THEY SAID IT'S WORKING FINE. DO I NEED TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED? I KNOW ABOUT MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME UNIDENTIFIED ERROR. THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE NEW MODELS AND THEY SHOULD START CHECKING THE OLD ONE AS WELL. IT IS DEFINITELY AN IGNITION PROBLEM AS THE CAR CAN BE STARTED BY BYPASSING THE KEY SWITCH. *TR

CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK. COULD NOT MOVE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF PARK POSITION. I WAS IN A UNSAFE AREA AND HAD NO WAY HOME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE AFTER BEING STRANDED FOR 2 HOURS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINT ARTICLES FOR SAME PROBLEM WITH SAME MAKE AND MODEL. FOUND A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 ON INTERNET. CALLED THE NUMBER TO CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER LISTED IN THE NOTIFICATION ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THE LETTER ADDRESSED 2005 CHRYSLER 300S MY VIN DID NOT APPLY. ALSO CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, SAME ANSWER, CANT HELP ME UNLESS I PAY. NOW I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION TO WORK OR OTHERWISE AND HAVE TO PAY TO GET VEHICLE TOWED AND FIND A MECHANIC THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM FOR $$. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER/DODGE OWNERS AND DUE TO NOTIFICATION THEY ARE QUITE AWARE. VERY UNSAFE TO LEAVE PEOPLE, CHILDREN STRANDED DUE TO THIS FAULTY PLASTIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOC RETURN SPRING HOOK. *TR
THE CAR STALLS ON ALL TURNS. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND FREEWAYS. I HAVE HEARD THAT THESE GAS TANKS ARE DEFECTED. *TR

AT A STOP OR LOW SPEED THE CAR WILL SPUTTER, CHUG, JUMP AND DIE. NO DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON. CAR WILL RESTART. IT MAY OCCUR AT STOP LIGHTS, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS OR WHEN PARKING. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT WAS A FUEL TANK PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300'S HAVE BEEN HAD, BUT MY MODEL WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I SEE THAT OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER A NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13016. IN MY CASE, I DO NOT KNOW IF THE PROBLEM HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL LEVEL OR THE TANK BEING RECENTLY FILLED. IT IS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE CAR CAN DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, OR MAYBE IN A PARKING LOT WHEN YOU ARE PARKING, OR BRAKING FOR OTHER CARS OR PEDESTRIANS. WHEN YOU SUDDENLY HAVE NO POWER AND CAN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND GET THESE TANKS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THANK YOU. *TR
ALL 4 TIRES ARE DISINTEGRATING FROM THE INSIDE OUT ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC. THEY LOOK GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT HE SAID THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND TO TAKE BACK TO COSTCO FOR EXCHANGE.

IN REFERENCE TO PE13016, THE ACTION REFERS TO CARS FROM MODEL YEARS 2005 AND 2006. YET, THE FINAL INVESTIGATION RESULTS ONLY INCLUDE THE 2006 MODEL YEAR? IF 2005 CARS ARE AFFECTED (AS MINE HAS BEEN SINCE 2011 AND IS DOCUMENTED IN 300C USER FORUMS ON THE INTERNET BY ME AT THE TIME), THEN WHY IS MY CAR NOT INCLUDED? I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW, SOME OWNERS ARE RECEIVING "LIFETIME WARRANTY" LETTERS FOR THE 19-GAL GAS TANK THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE SUDDEN STALLS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER, YET MY CAR DOES HAVE (AND WAS FOUND BY THE NHTSA THAT 2005 MODEL YEAR WAS AFFECT) THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO NOT FILL UP THE GAS TANK EVERYTIME. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED, YET I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. PLEASE ADVISE ME (IN WRITING OR BY PHONE) AS TO WHY YOU FOUND 2005 CARS PROBLEMATIC, YET ONLY INCLUDED 2006 CARS IN YOUR FINAL INVESTIGATION SUMMARY TO BE AFFECTED. *TR
WHILE DROPPING MY GRANDCHILDREN OFF HOME. MY CHRYSLER 300C HEMI ENGINE AFTER SHUT OFF DID NOT RESTART. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, IT WAS STATED THAT THE VALVE SEAT DROP, CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PISTON. A REVIEW OF INFORMATION ONLINE REVIEWED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR
CAR STALLS AFTER GAS TANK IS FILLED UP. CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND AT INTERSECTIONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. REVIEW ON INTERNET SHOWS THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. CURRENT SOLUTION IS TO AVOID FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. *JS
EVERY TIME AFTER GAS FILL UP FROM THE FIRST TIME IN DEC 2012 TO NOW, THIS CAR STALLS AFTER FILL UP. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN MAY 2004 FROM CHRYSLER DEALER AND ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN WITH BOSAK CHRYSLER. I WAS THINKING GAS FILTERS, BUT UNTIL I CHECKED HERE TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL, FOUND THAT TOO MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T SEE ANY NOTIFICATIONS FILED BY CHRYSLER, ARE WE ALL TO ASSUME THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. *TR
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE LIGHTS TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON. THIS HAS OCCUR ON MANY TIMES. I RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SUPPOSE TO HAD THE ECU. THAT WORK FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I RETURN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAS CONTINUES TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND NO PROBLEM. NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY NAV SYSTEM AND THE RADIO LIGHTNING. *TR
LIGHTING PROBLEMS. *TR
MY DAUGHTER (12YRS.) AND I WERE ON THE FREEWAY/CAR POOL LANE (DOUBLE YELLOW LINES) AND THE CAR STALLED/TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. I TRIED NOT TO PANIC BUT I DAUGHTER DID WHEN THE LIGHTS, ENGINE AND NOT TO MENTION THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. AT THIS TIME I HAD TO CROSS OVER THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE AND CUT OFF A FEW CARS WHO ALL MOST REAR ENDED ME, ALL CARS HONKED AT ME AND MY LITTLE ONE WAS FREAKING OUT. IT TOOK 24 MINUTES TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE IT KEPT STALLING AND WOULDN'T CONTINUE TO STAY ON. THIS IS A VERY UN SAFE SITUATION, I PRAY NO ONE GETS HURT FROM THIS. CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AND TURN OFF AND AT THIS TIME IT'S JUST SITTING BECAUSE OF FUNDS AND JUST FED UP WITH THIS CAR.... NOT MENTION MY PARKING LOCK MECHANISM BROKE LAST MONTH AND MY ENGINE BLOWN DUE TIMINGS CHAIN STRETCHING. HAD TO REBUILD THE WHOLE ENGINE THAT COST ME $5,000.00, SO YOU KNOW AT THIS TIME I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN. I NEW I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH CHEVROLET! !!!!!! *TR
AFTER FILLING TANK WITH FUEL, CAR STALLED AT NEXT FEW INTERSECTIONS. HAD TO TURN OFF COMPLETELY FOR TRANSMISSION TO RESET AND ENGAGE SEVERAL TIMES. HAS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY BUT NOT SURE OF DATE, APPROXIMATELY IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING AND SITTING STILL IN MOVING TRAFFIC, THIS CREATES A TRUE HAZARD. HAVE OWNED VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. *TR
AFTER I FILLED THE GAS TANK, I STARTED THE ENGINE, LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER THE CAR STALLED. IT STALLED TWICE BEFORE I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND AS I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. IT STALLED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I PULLED INTO A SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF THE MAIN TRAFFIC AREA. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF THE ENGINE RUNNING AND DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, THE STALLING STOPPED. I WILL INCLUDE, I DID NOT OVERFILL, I NEVER DO. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED TWICE AND HOPE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. *TR
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS CHANGED AT 109318 MILES BECAUSE OF SLIPPAGE. SINCE THEN I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIFTER GETTING STUCK IN PARK. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE AT A CHRYSLER DEALER 5 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I CALLED FOR A TOW WHILE IT WAS STUCK IN PARK TODAY AND THE AAA TOW DRIVER DEMONSTRATED HOW TO GET IT OUT OF PARK. HE STATED THAT ITS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THAT YEAR CHRYSLER. I'M CONFUSED WHY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROCEDURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 128238. I WILL TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND DEMONSTRATE THE PROCEDURE FOR UNLOCKING THE SHIFTER, PERHAPS THEY CAN MAKE A REPAIR. *TR
I PULLED INTO A BP GAS STATION TO PURCHASE FILL UP. AFTER FILL UP I PROCEEDED DOWN THE STREET AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT, WAITED FOR GREEN LIGHT, BUT DIDN'T NOTICE CAR HAD SHUT DOWN. PEOPLE BEHIND HONKING BECAUSE I HAD NOT MOVED. CRANKED UP AGAIN, CAR MOVED A LITTLE. SO TWO YOUNG MEN GOT OUT AND PUSHED ME OUT OF THE STREET AS I WAS LITERALLY A SITTING DUCK IN THE STREET. I CALLED SOMEONE TO COME AND CHECK IT OUT AND HE DROVE IT HOME, BUT IT STOPPED ON HIM THREE TIMES BEFORE HE GOT IT HOME. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS HAS BEEN AND ONGOING PROCESS FOR ME SINCE OCTOBER 12, 2012. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT AS LONG AS I DO NOT FILL IT TO THE TOP IT IS OKAY AND WILL COOPERATE. THIS IS NO WAY TO USE A CAR. I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL BUT I KNOW I NEVER RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF ONE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 42141 MILES ON MY CAR SO IT IS HARDLY DRIVEN AND I EXPECTED THIS TO BE MY LAST CAR PURCHASE WITH GAS ISSUES SUCH AS THIS WHO KNOWS. WHEN I GET GAS NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL TO GET IT HOME BEFORE IT CUTS OFF. I CAN ONLY BE THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY; I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT , INJURED OR KILLED. WHAT ARE MY RECOURSES AT THIS LATE DATE. IS RECALL STILL AVAILABLE. PISSED OFF 300C OWNER. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,512 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND SPEED WAS REDUCED TO ABOUT 20 MPH. WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTED TO SPURT AND THEN SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT ONCE IT SLOWED DOWN AGAIN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BUT FORTUNATELY THE TRUCK BEHIND ME STOPPED IN TIME. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL SO ONCE THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK FULL THE SHUT DOWNS CEASE. DOES IT TAKE FATAL ACCIDENTS LIKE WHAT GM HAD BEFORE CHRYSLER ISSUES A RECALL? *TR
MY DAUGHTER & I ARE DRIVING MY CAR, A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C WITH THE V8 ENGINE AND EXPERIENCING A STALLING PROBLEM AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND MERGING INTO LOCAL TRAFFIC THE CAR THEN STALLS CAUSING A DRAMATIC LOSS OF SPEED AND LOSS OF CONTROL. FOR MY DAUGHTER SHE WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS A DRIVEWAY (FOR ANOTHER GAS STATION) AT THE CORNER SO SHE ROLLED INTO ANOTHER GAS STATION WITHOUT HITTING ANY CARS AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.THE SAME PROBLEM REAPPEARED WHEN NEXT TIME, I LEFT THE GAS STATION AFTER FILLING UP AND THE CAR STALLED AFTER I TRAVELED ABOUT 200 FEET AND HAD JUST MERGED INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY LOCAL ROAD. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS ROAD. THE CAR IS NOW STALLING EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK AND I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER TO GET FIXED. THIS PROBLEM WAS INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA (REFERENCE CASE PE3-016) THEY FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY FILLING UP THE CAR WITH HIGHER ETHANOL GAS WHICH WAS CAUSING THE GAS SHUT-OFF FLOAT LOCATED INSIDE THE GAS TANK TO SWELL AND STICK IN THE OPEN POSITION WHICH ALLOWED FUEL TO ENTER A PURGE LINE. CHRYSLER RESPONDED BY EXTENDING FUEL TANK WARRANTIES TO153,817 VEHICLES, NAMELY THE V8 VERSIONS ON THE CHRYSLER 300S, DODGE CHARGERS AND DODGE MAGNUMS FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. (REFERENCE

THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION PLAN FOR THE 2006 WITH THIS ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2005 MODEL. I VISITED THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING PROBLEM FOR 300C'S.

AFTER I FILL UP MY CAR'S GAS TANK AND DRIVE AWAY, THE CAR WILL STALL AT THE FIRST SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS I REACH. EVENTUALLY IT RUNS FINE ? UNTIL IT'S TIME TO FILL UP THE CAR AGAIN, AT WHICH TIME THE CYCLE REPEATS. MY CAR HAS CUT OUT IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS; ONLY LUCK HAS PREVENTED ME FROM HAVING A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

AFTER FILL UP, THE CAR STALLS AT SLOW SPEED 3 - 4 TIMES BEFORE STAYING RUNNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOT DEPENDENT ON TYPE OF GAS, WEATHER, OVERFILL, ETC. VERY DANGEROUS. CONSEQUENTLY WE ONLY FILL THE CAR TO 3/4 FULL. *JS
I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300C 2005. THE CAR STALLED 4 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT SEEMS TO BE WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND I WOULD SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30-40 MPH AND THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL. VERY DANGEROUS. THE STEERING WOULD LOCK UP AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO START THE CAR AGAIN. NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN WITH YOUR FAMILY IN THE CAR. *JS
FILLED UP GAS TANK AND WAS LEAVING STATION AND CAR STALLED OUT. RESTARTED AND PROCEEDED ONTO SUBURBAN MAIN ARTERY AND AS ACCELERATING FROM TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS NOT EXPECTING ME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD AND CRASHED INTO THE READ OF MY CAR. DAMAGE TO BOTH BUMPER COVERS, BUT NEITHER VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVEABLE AS THE SPEED WAS VERY SLOW. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 300C'S OF THIS YEAR AND IS AVOIDABLE BY FILLING THE TANK TO ONLY 3/4 OR SO. THIS TIME IT WAS FILLED BY THE STATION ATTENDANT TO THE PUMP CLICK SHUT OFF (LIKE YOU'D FILL THE TANK OF A NORMAL CAR). THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION PLAN FOR THE 2006 WITH THIS ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE 2005 MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM. *TR
WHILE DRIVING MY HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL JUST TURN OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE FOUND OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS ON THE WEBSITE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. BELOW IS WHAT I FOUND ON THE WEBSITE. 1. I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AND OVER THE WEEKEND ON SATURDAY NIGHT I WAS OUT DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER & COMPLETELY WENT OUT! WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT IT WAS FOR A MOMENT BUT AT NIGHT WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS (ON A DARK ROAD) A FEW SECONDS, ETC. SEEMS LIKE AN ETERNITY. THAN THEY STARTED TO FLICKER OFF/ON AND GO OUT AGAIN, BEFORE THEY STAYED ON; LIKE THIS EXPENSIVE CAR THAT I PAID MY MONEY FOR SHOULD BE DOING. IT IS A DANGER THAT COULD VERY WELL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT!! IF NOT A RECALL THAN CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE THE PROFESSIONAL COURTESY TO SEND OUT A LETTER ABOUT THIS HAZARDOUS/DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT REQUIRES US TO PAY FOR THIS SO-CALLED UNFORESEEN DEFICIENCY! NO ONE FROM A CORPORATE STAND POINT CAN SAY THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND WE SHOULD SEND LETTERS TOO BESIDES POSTING IT ON THE INTERNET (NOT EVERYONE IS INTERNET SAVVY). I FEEL THAT WHEN THE CAR WAS BUILT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN FORESEEN AND I AM NOT PLEASED WITH THE WAY CHRYSLER, AS A WHOLE ENTITY, IS ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THIS DEFECT. [XXX] 2. I LOVE MY 300 HAD IT SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW.. LAST MONTH I NOTICE MY LIGHTS BLINKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHEN I WAS BEHIND A BIG TRUCK. SINCE THEN IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN ALMOST EVERYTIME I START THE CAR AND TENDS TO GO AWAY AFTER 30 MINUTES OF RUNNING. AT NIGHT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK AND SOMETIMES GO COMPLETELY OFF.. WHEN I TURN THEM OFF THEY COME BACK ON..THEN GO OUT AGAIN I TURN THE SWITCH AND THEY COME BACK ON.. SOMETIMES THE DASH LIGHTS ALSO GO COMPLETELY OUT AND OTHER TIMES THEY GO FROM DIM TO BRIGHT AND BACK TO DIM.

I PURCHASED THIS 2005 CHRYSLER 300C ON NOVEMBER 20, 2013 FROM HOOVER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND EVER SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT EVERY TIME I GET GAS AND I DO NOT OVER FILL MY TANK BUT DO FILL IT UP TO ALMOST FULL. ANYWAYS THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES I'VE HAD IT STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS DOING THIS I TRADED MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER SXT WHICH WASN'T THE HEMI FOR A HEMI AND FEEL LIKE I GOT A WORST ENGINE. ANYWAYS I REALLY HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED BY CHRYSLER I'VE SPENT ALOT ON REPAIRS AND THIS ISN'T FAIR THAT THE BUYER HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM I'VE OWNED PLENTY OF CARS AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN SO OBVIOUSLY CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE! *TR
THE CAR REPEATEDLY STALLS AFTER A FILL UP. THIS WILL REPEAT ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE FIRST FEW MILES BEFORE IT STOPS. IF I DON'T FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP IT WILL NOT STALL. THIS HAS CAUSED A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS (TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC) AND SHORT, TEMPORARY TRAFFIC DELAY WHILE I RESTART. *TR
THE VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING AND IT SEEMS DIRECTLY RELATED TO WHEN I FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH GAS. I HAVE A 19 GALLON FUEL TANK. EVERY TIME A FILL THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUES TO STALL (EVEN AT 60 MPH) UNTIL THE GAS STARTS TO EMPTY OUT OF THE TANK. AS THE GAS EMPTIES, IT STALLS LESS AND LESS. AS SOON AS I REFILL, THE PROBLEM STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. I HEARD THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANK MULTIFUNCTIONAL CONTROL VALVE, WHICH SEEMS TO EXACTLY CORRELATE WITH THE ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED AUTO DEALER. *TR
EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO FULL THIS VEHICLE STALLS. AT 3/4 FILL IT DOES NOT OCCUR. IN LIGHT OF THE CHEVY COBALT TRAGEDY PERHAPS A PROPER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DEFECT WILL COMMENCE. THIS ISN'T A NUISANCE "TEMPORARY GLITCH" ISSUE, BECAUSE WHENEVER A CAR LOSES POWER UNEXPECTEDLY IT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A NUISANCE ISSUE. I EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE STALL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ENTERING A FREEWAY JUST AFTER FUELING AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. HALF-BAKED SUGGESTIONS LIKE DON'T FILL THE TANK FULL ARE SILLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC REPAIR RECOMMENDATION. *TR
AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP WITH THE CORRECT GASOLINE THE CAR STALLED AND TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AFTER SPUTTERING FOR THE NEXT TEN MILES OR SO. UPON STARTING IT UP IT TAKES TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS STALLED EVERY TIME FOR THE NEXT TEN MILES OR SO AFTER FUELING. IT HAS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF ONCE WHILE TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THERE IS NO WARNING AS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN ONLY AN EXPECTATION THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AFTER EVERY REFUELING. I NOTE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME CAR FOR THE SAME REASON BUT A YEAR YOUNGER - 2006. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR
UPON STARTING AUTOMOBILE TO GO SHOPPING DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL TO PUT TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT UNLOCK COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK CAR HAD TO BE FLAT BEDDED TO DODGE DEALER. FOR REPAIR. *TR
WHEN I COMPLETELY FILL MY GAS TANK, MY CAR WILL STALL FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MILES AT IDLE SPEEDS. SO EVERY TIME I STOP AT A LIGHT, I BASICALLY HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR FOR A MILE OR TWO UNTIL SOME GAS IS USED. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT COMPLETELY AND RESTART THE CAR AS THE CAR WON'T GO INTO GEAR (IE: THE GEARS NEED TO RESET). THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING PERIODICALLY WHILE THE CARE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY WITH GAS. I HAVE A SON AND DAUGHTER THAT ARE STARTING TO DRIVE THIS YEAR, AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO LET THEM DRIVE THIS CAR. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL LONG AGO AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO WONDERING, IF I PAY THE $1,500 TO PUT IN A NEW GAS TANK AND THERE ULTIMATELY IS A RECALL, WILL I BE ABLE TO GET REIMBURSED? THAT WOULD BE VERY USEFUL INFORMATION. THANK YOU. *TR
ON JANUARY 8, 2014 AT APPROX 2:45 PM I FILLED UP WITH GAS AND CONTINUED HOME 1 BLOCK, AS I ENTERED MY UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE MY CAR STALLED, AS I STARTED IT UP, I HEARD LIQUID, I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT IN THE GARAGE TO CHECK IT OUT, HOWEVER IT KEPT STALLING. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE CAME THE NEXT MORNING TO CHECK IT OUT, AND MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SHOP. IT TOOK 2 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, NO CODE CAME UP AS IT WAS CHECKED VIA COMPUTER. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE ROTATOR VALVE ATTACHED TO THE GAS TANK WAS STUCK/BROKEN AND REQUIRED A NEW GAS TANK, THE GAS WENT INTO THE CHARCOAL CANNISTER, ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND 2 NEW FUEL PUMPS AS WELL. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN HUNDRED IF NOT MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENING TO OTHERS, THIS COST ME $2400.00 JUST FOR GETTING GAS. I ALSO SAW ISSUES REPORTED FOR THE INNER TIE ROD AND THAT WAS CONFIRMED BAD BY MY MECHANIC AS WELL AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CALL CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES LEAVING A MESSAGE AND TO DATE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK. I FEEL THIS WAS NOT SOME SMALL ROUTINE REPAIR BILL AND WITH THE AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, CHRYSLER SHOULD OF MADE THE REPAIRS OR REIMBURSE THE DAMAGES, NUMEROUS YEARS OF THIS MODEL AND SEVERAL OTHER CHRYSLER DODGE MAKES AND MODELS HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS-MAYBE A RECALL SHOULD OF TAKEN PLACE. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING LOOKED INTO IF THERE IS ANY OPTION FOR A REIMBURSEMENT IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. HAD I CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON THE ROUTE 62 AT 45MPH THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS I STALLED DRIVING. *TR

I OWN A CHRYSLER 2005 300C. THE HAD NO FUEL PROBLEMS UNTIL THE ODOMETER REACHED APPROX. 50K MILES. IT THEN STARTED TO STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I WOULD HAVE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE IN PARK OR DRIVING UNDER 60 MPH. I HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHICH CREATED SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES UNLESS I GOT IT RESTARTED QUICKLY. I WOULD HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER DRIVING FOR A DAY OR SO. I HAVE ASKED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IF THERE WERE ANY TSB'S ON THE PROBLEM ANS HAVE BEEN TOLD NO. OWNERS ON THE CHRYSLER'S OWNER FORUM WITH MY TYPE OF CAR ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE AND SAY THAT THERE IS AN ISSUES WITH THE GAS TANKS THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. *TR

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AT BREDEMANN'S CHEVEROLET LAST TUESDAY, THEY FORGOT TO FILL UP THE TANK SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TODAY TO GET FILLED UP. AFTER THEY FILLED UP THE TANK I WENT ON MY WAY AND BEFORE I CAN GET ON THE ROAD THE ENGINE DIED. I RESTARTED IT AND IT STAYED ON A BIT THEN DIED AGAIN. AFTER A FEW TIMES OF THIS THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AND SEEMED OKAY SO I GOT ON THE ROAD, AFTER DRIVING A FEW FEET THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SO I RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SALESMAN TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND WE DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE LOT A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMED OKAY SO I THOUGHT WOW, THAT WAS WEIRD...I THANK THE SALESMAN AND WENT ON MY WAY I GOT A FEW BLOCKS AND THE CAR DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT'S A PRETTY SCARY FEELING BECAUSE IT WOULD DIE ALL OF US SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. I'VE BEEN READING REPORTS AND FORUMS ALL DAY TODAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. WOULD THIS BE PART OF A RECALL OR WOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS. I CAN'T AFFORD BIG REPAIRS RIGHT NOW, CONSIDERING I'VE JUST PUT DOWN CASH TO BUY THIS CAR.

THERE WAS A PENDING INVESTIGATION FOR NEARLY A YEAR NOW WITH CHRYSLER 300 2005-2006 STALLING AFTER FUELING.

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, AND WHEN LEAVING THE GAS STATION, AS I'M SLOWING DOWN TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER A FILL UP OF HALF A TANK OR MORE. DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I TOP OFF TANK WHEN I'M DOWN TO 3/4 TANK. I GET THE CAR RESTARTED AND PULL OUT BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS MISSING. WHEN I START SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP, THE CAR WILL STALL AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 4 TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND THERE ARE NO CODES STORED. THE CAR HAS 155000 MILES ON IT, AND THIS STARTED HAPPING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT ONLY DID IT ONE TIME THEN MAYBE A MONTH LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. IT WASN'T DOING ALL THE TIME THEN BUT NOW IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT THAT IT DOES IT AT EVERY FILL UP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE I GOT SOME BAD GAS, BUT I'VE READ WHERE OTHER 300C OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE.
CAR STALLS ABOUT 1 MILE AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. HAS STALLED GOING LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, LEAVING ME WITH VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE .A MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT I FILL UP BEFORE ITS UNDER HALF FULL BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP ANY. NOW I FILL UP BEFORE I GO INTO A NEARBY GROCERY STORE AND AFTERWARDS I START THE CAR A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMS TO PREVENT IT FROM STALLING. LAST WEEK MY HUSBAND DECIDED TO DRIVE IT TO WORK (LONG DRIVE) AND DIDN'T TAKE MY ADVICE DURING FILL UP AND IT STALLED SHORTLY AFTER GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
THE 2005 CHRYSLER ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC . I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER POSSIBILITY FACING A STEERING LOCK DOWN WITHOUT THE CAPACITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE OFF THE INTERSTATE. AFTER PRIOR ENGINE INTERNAL MAINTENANCE AND REGULAR OIL CHANGES THE ENGINE STILL FAILED PLACING MY FAMILY LIVES IN JEOPARDY. I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE WITH MORE EFFORT TO THE ROADSIDE SAFELY. THE CHRYSLER 2.7 LITER ENGINE ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURES AND CONSUMERS REVIEWS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, COULD LEAD TO THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS ON THE ROAD CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF. THIS ENGINE IS PRONE TO BREAK DOWN AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED FOR SAFETY REASONS , THANK GOD I WAS NOT KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY I HAD NO ESCAPE, I COULD HAVE BEEN RAMMED FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE OR IF I OR MY FAMILY WERE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WE COULD HAVE BEEN INSTANTLY KILLED. *TR
I HAD JUST COMPLETED A FUEL FILL-UP AND UPON DRIVING AWAY FROM THE PUMP THE ENGINE DIED, LOSING ALL POWER. WITH 3-4 ATTEMPTED RESTARTS THE CAR MOVED FOR SHORT DISTANCES AND REPEATEDLY DIED. WHEN IT DID RESTART, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN DRIVE. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR WOULD RUN NORMALLY AND WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. THE LATEST INCIDENT (AFTER 3 INCIDENTS) OCCURRED FEB 4, 2014. AFTER MY MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT ON FEB 7 AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES TO OTHER VEHICLES. CHRYSLER CORP SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL IN MY OPINION. *TR
I PURCHASED MY CHRYSLER 300C ON 1/8/2014. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WITH AN ALMOST FULL TANK OF GAS AND EXPERIENCED NO PROBLEMS UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, AND MAKING SURE NOT TO TOP IT OFF AS THE MANUAL SUGGESTS, I SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED THE CAR JERKING, ALMOST LIKE A DOWN SHIFT FEELING, AND THEN IT STALLED. I WAS JUST LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I DROVE ANOTHER MILE AND THEN MADE A TURN INTO MY SUBDIVISION AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. THEY SUPPOSEDLY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND SAID THAT NOTHING WAS DETECTED. THEY ASKED IF ANY LIGHTS CAME ON AND I TOLD THEM ONLY THE OIL LIGHT. THEY TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE NEXT COUPLE OF TIMES I FILLED UP I USED A PREPAID GAS CARD WHICH DIDN'T TOTALLY FILL UP MY TANK SO I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS. TODAY I FILLED MY TANK, THIS TIME MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE CAR AND AS SOON AS WE LEFT THE GAS STATION THE CAR STARTED JERKING, LIKE A SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT....FINALLY, I HAD A WITNESS! WE DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES TO A CAR WASH, AND UPON APPROACHING THE ENTRANCE IT STALLED AGAIN! I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN TO ENTER THE WASH AND ONCE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL IT STALLED AGAIN. I AM VERY NERVOUS AND SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR!!! WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? *TR
AFTER FUELING VEHICLE (FULL TANK) I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE FROM THE GAS STATION WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF WHILE I WAS IN A TURN CAUSING ME DRIVE UP ON A CURB AND ALMOST STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN. TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK STARTED AND ABOUT ANOTHER 1/4 MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT STALLED AGAIN THIS TIME MAKING ME GO THROUGH AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT HARD. I ENDED UP GETTING IT HOME AND IT SAT OVER NIGHT. NEXT MORNING TOOK IT OUT, NO PROBLEM EXCEPT WHEN I WAS LEAVING A STORE IT STALLED AGAIN. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FUEL ISSUE, FUEL PRESSURE CHECKED OK. I DRAINED THE GAS IN THE TANK AND REFUELED FROM ANOTHER STATION SAME PROBLEM. SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONLY WHEN I COMPLETELY FILL UP BUT NOT 100% OF THE TIME. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR BODY CODES WERE DETECTED ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER. *TR
MY CAR STARTED STALLING IN JUNE 2013, APPROX. 86000 MILES CHRYSLER SERVICE COULD NOT FIND ANY REASON FOR IT STALLING. A FRIEND SUGGESTED THAT I CHECK THE LA TIMES, ONLY TO FIND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. IT STALLS AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. IS REPLACING THE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE THE ONLY SOLUTION? WHERE CAN I FIND THE FEDERAL OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION RESULTS FOR THE 300C COMPLAINTS. *TR
CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING (EVEN WITHOUT OVERFILLING). NEVER HAS TROUBLE STARTING UP AGAIN AND THEN DRIVES NORMALLY AFTER IT STALLED 3 TIMES IN A ROW OVER 5 MILES FROM REFUELING STATION. *TR
SINCE NOVEMBER 2013, EACH TIME I FILL UP MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C, IT STALLS FOR THE FIRST 5--20 MINUTES AFTER THE FILL UP. IN DECEMBER 2013, I BROUGHT IT TO MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (WHICH HAS WORKED ON THE CAR SINCE 2006), AND IT SAID MY CAR NEEDED AN EVAP CANISTER AND A SOLENOID. THE PARTS WERE ORDERED AND THE INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT WORK WAS DONE ON DECEMBER 6, 2013. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR STILL STALLS, STARTING RIGHT AS I PULL OUT FROM THE GAS STATION. THE MOST DISCONCERTING THING IS THAT WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, AND YOU ARE STEERING INTO A CORNER, THE POWER STEERING IS GONE. THIS MAKES STEERING VERY DIFFICULT AND IS VERY DANGEROUS, PARTICULARLY ON THE TWO-LANE ROADS I MOSTLY TRAVEL. I AM NOW THINKING IT MAY BE THAT THERE IS SOME WATER IN THE GASOLINE TANK OR GASOLINE LINE. I SENSE THE ELECTRONICS IN THE ENGINE CALLING FOR GAS (OR NOT ACCEPTING GAS) WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING BAD IN THE GASOLINE LINE. NOT SURE HOW THERE IS WATER IN THE TANK, AS THE CAR SINCE BEING PURCHASED NEW IS GARAGED WHEN AT HOME AND AT WORK AND WELL CARED FOR OTHERWISE. I JUST READ THIS EVENING ON THE WEB THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS KNOWN SINCE AT LEAST MAY OF 2013. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING; THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT THIS KNOWN PROBLEM TO ME. AND SO I HAD THIS WORK DONE NEEDLESSLY, AT MY EXPENSE AND FOR NO SUCCESSFUL RESULT. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE RECALL TO ME WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR IN WITH THIS ISSUE. IT WAS SUGGESTED I MIGHT NEED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. HAS CHRYSLER FIGURED OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS? DID THIS IN TURN RESULT IN A RECALL? CAN I ASK THE DEALERSHIP FOR MY MONEY BACK? ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED? *TR
EVERY TIME I FILL MY CAR UP TO FULL, IT WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING OR AT A LIGHT. THE STALLS OCCUR UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL HAS DROPPED. *TR
I HAD THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I WOULD FILL UP WITH GAS. AT ABOUT 30MPH OR WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP AND THEN TRY TO ACCELLERATE THE CAR WOULD STALL AND CUT OFF. WOULD THEN TRY AND RESTART THE CAR AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WOULD FINIALLY RESTART. SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD REACH SPEEDS OF 55MPH IT WOULD CUT OFF AND I WOULD HAVE TO STEER WITH THE BEST OF MY ABILITY TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. FINIALLY I JUST TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND HAD THEM PUT A NEW EVAP CANISTER ON IT AND NEW TROTTLE SOMETHING ON IT 600+ DOLLARS. *TR
EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK MY CAR WOULD STALL. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER 1000 DOLLARS CHANGING THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTER AND STILL PROBLEM PERSIST. DOING SOME RESEARCH IN FORUMS I AM NOT ONLY ONE. THE PROBLEMS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPAIR THIS COST A LOT OF MONEY AND WHY CHRYSLER HAVE NOT STARTED A RECALL. PLEASE HELP THIS IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD FOR MANY CAR OWNERS. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES DO TO THE CAR STALLING MIDDLE OF ROAD. *TR
AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IT SURGES WHILE GONG DOWN THE ROAD THEN DIES. VEHICLE RESTARTS, MAY SURGE AND DIE AGAIN, THEN DRIVES NORMALLY TELL NEXT GAS FILL UP. *TR
THE CAR WILL STALL AFTER A FILLIP, EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS NOT OVER FILLED. THIS HAS PLACED ME IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, WHERE I AM STRANDED ON BUSY ROADS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOW DEFECT IN MANY CHRYSLER CARS AND VANS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.
ONCE GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND TURNING ONTO A FRONTAGE ROAD, DRIVING 35 MPH MY CAR LOST POWER AND STALLED. I PULLED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED MY CAR OFF, AND IT TURNED BACK ON. HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING OFF AND ON SINCE AUGUST 2013 (7-8XS). IT MOST COMMONLY STALLS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL OFTEN TIMES BECOME LOCKED WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A TURN WHEN THE CAR STALLS. THE ESP/BAS LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND A RED LIGHT WITH A LIGHTENING BOLT WITH VERTICAL LINES ON EACH SIDE OF IT (SYMBOL NOT IN CHRYSLER MANUAL) ALL TURN ON WHEN THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR STALLS 3-4XS BEFORE MAKING IT TO THE DESTINATION. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP 3XS AND LEAVE WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION OF THE CURRENT PROBLEM. *TR
AFTER FUELING UP MY CHRYSLER 300C, MY CAR STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN (APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES AFTER FILL UP). LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK AT THE TIME, SO I WAS ONLY GOING 5-10 MPH. UNFORTUNATELY, THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FROZE AND I WAS UNABLE TO PARK THE CAR, SO THE CAR WAS RESTING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF OTHER CARS DRIVING IN THE LOT. ALSO, I CAME TWO INCHES FROM HITTING A TREE SINCE I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR AWAY FROM ANY OBJECTS IN MY PATH. THANK GOODNESS THE BREAKS STILL WORKED. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER APPROX. 10 MINUTES OF RESTING THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT, THE CAR RESTARTED WITH A "POP" NOISE. ONCE WE GOT THE CAR STARTED, I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT IN A SAFE SPOT. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS AND IT REALLY HAS ME FREAKED OUT TO THINK THAT WE COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SHOULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY, THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN, MYSELF AND ANY OTHER INNOCENT PERSON ON THE ROAD HAS ME CONCERNED. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, AND I NEVER TOPPED OFF THE TANK. PLEASE RECALL THE FUEL TANK ON THESE CARS AS THEY ARE NOT SAFE. ALSO, PLEASE INCLUDE THE 2005 YEAR IN YOUR INVESTIGATION. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C.THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING TO CAPACITY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE BATTERY EXPLODED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,200.
AFTER REFUELING THE CAR STALLS. IT TAKES ABOUT 3 OR 4 MINUTES, SO BY THAT TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. *TR
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER W/O HAVING THE EXPERIENCE OF THE 300C STALLING WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PREVIOUSLY. THE CAR NOW STALLS 3 TO 4 TIMES AFTER REFUELING. I HAVE PURCHASED HIGH-OCTANE GAS FROM THE SAME VENDOR SINCE 2004 W/ NO ISSUES. MY MECHANIC THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE RESIDUE FROM THE GAS TANK GIVEN THE VEHICLE AGE OR AN AIR BUBBLE BECAUSE I LET THE TANK GET TO ~ 2 GALLONS. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES INDICATING ISSUES. THE CAR NOW STALLS W/I A MINUTE OF REFUELING WHILE TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES BETWEEN STATION & HOME. THE CAR WILL NOT START IN N, IT HAS TO BE IN P. TYPICALLY THE NEXT DAY AFTER REFUELING THE CAR IS FINE, FORTUNATELY I DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR STALLED REQUIRING THE MORE THAN 2 TURNS OF THE KEY IN P. AGAIN NO READINGS ON AUTOSCANNER THAT I PURCHASED BECAUSE TIME/$ PROHIBIT GOING TO MECHANIC CONSTANTLY. MY SON IS LEARNING TO DRIVE AND TEACHING A 16 YEAR OLD HOW TO OPERATE A STALLED VEHICLE WITH NO STEERING IS DIFFICULT. UPON STALLING, THE CAR BRAKES ARE THE ONLY OPTION OF CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. I HOPE CHRYSLER FINDS A FIX BECAUSE THIS CAR HAS BEEN VERY RELIABLE. *TR
AFTER REFUELING AND LEAVING FUELING LOCATION; ENGINE STALLED. WOULD RESTART AND COULD DRIVE SHORT DISTANCE AND DIES AGAIN. IT DOES THIS 3/8 TIMES AND THEN BEGINS TO RUN NORMALLY UNTIL NEXT FUEL UP. (LAST 3 FUELUPS, SO FAR) I DON'T TOP OFF AND I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE GAS CAP IS TIGHT. TOOK IT INTO DEALER ON NOVEMBER 13 TO REVIEW THE ISSUE. GOT A CALL BACK THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A "CODE" ISSUE IN FUEL BUT WANTED TO CHECK OUT THE TORQUE MANAGEMENT. I LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND ASKED TO GET THE CAR BACK. THE MOST COMMON THREAD ONLINE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH EVAPORATION SYSTEM. NOT SURE HOW TO CHECK IT OUT. MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT HAS NOW STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT---- *TR
I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AS ALWAYS, STARTED MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY WHILE PULLING AWAY IT STALLED THAN DIED. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND MADE IT INTO THE INTERSECTION AND IT STALLED AND DIED AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN WHILE IN TRAFFIC ABOUT 10 MILES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED OUT AND NO ONE COULD GIVE ME ANY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PROBLEM. I WENT ON LINE AND COME TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL NOR HELP. I LEARNED THAT OTHERS STOPPED FILLING THEIR CAR UP AND THAT SEEMED TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND I WORRY ALL THE TIME FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. SOME HAVE CHANGED THE GAS TANK HOWEVER THIS HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR
RATHER THAN ASK FOR A RECALL. CHRYSLER IS HAVING CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, WHILE THEY NEEDED THREE DIFFERENT SHIFTER(CLIPS) TO REMEDY THEIR DEFECTIVE DESIGN. I HAVE WRITTEN THEM A LETTER STATING MY CONCERNS BUT THEY HAVE DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR CHRYSLER HAS REPAIRED OR RE-DESIGNED THE GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM 4 TIMES. THEY REFUSED A RECALL NOTICE, BUT STICK YOUNG FAMILIES WITH A $500 PLUS REPAIR BILL, DUE TO THEIR FAULTY SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS AND DO NOT WANT ANYTHING FROM THEM, BUT TO KNOW THEY HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF UNSUSPECTING FAMILIES. ..UPDATED 12/17/13 *BF
AFTER FILLING MY CAR AT A SERVICE STATION UNTIL THE FIRST TIME THE FUEL PUMP CLICKED OFF I ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE SERVICE STATION AND AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE MY CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT START FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 ATTEMPTS. IF TRAFFIC WOULD HAVE BEEN HEAVIER THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AS I LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE CAR FROM STEERING TO BRAKING WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT-OFF. AFTER RUNNING ROUGH FOR SEVERAL MILES AND SEVERAL MORE STALLS THE PROBLEM FIXED ITSELF. THIS NOW OCCURS AFTER EVERYTIME I SERVICE MY CAR WITH FUEL AND HAS BECOME A RITUAL UNLESS I TAKE THE TIME TO CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED FUEL REMAINING IN THE TANK AND SUBTRACT IT FROM THE TOTAL CAPACITY THEN ONLY ADD ENOUGH FUEL TO TAKE ME UP TO TWO GALLONS FROM FULL. DIDN'T REALIZE I NEEDED TO BE A MATH WIZARD TO OWN A CHRYSLER 300C. NOW THAT I KNOW THIS IS A REPEATABLE PROBLEM I MUST TELL ANYONE WHO I LOAN MY CAR TO OR THEY COULD FACE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT SINCE THIS HAS NOT BEEN PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY CHRYSLER AS A RECURRING AND PREDICTABLE PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR BOUGHT NEW IN MAY 2004 AND IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. *LN *TR
THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS AND IT ONLY STALLS OUT AFTER FILLING THE TANK. VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN STOPPED OR WHEN THE RPM IS LOW. THE PROBLEM IS THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VALVE IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT LIQUID FUEL FROM ENTERING THE CHARCOAL CANISTER/EMISSIONS SYSTEM. WHEN THE VALVE FAILS, LIQUID GAS CAN ENTER THE LINE AND FILL THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. AFTER REFUELING THE PCM ON THE VEHICLE DETECTS A CHANGE IN FUEL LEVEL. THEN, WHEN THE ENGINE MEETS CERTAIN TEMPERATURE AND DRIVING CRITERIA, THE PCM ISSUES A PURGE COMMAND TO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER TO REMOVE THE STORED GAS VAPORS. IT'S AT THAT POINT THAT ALL THE LIQUID GAS IN THE LINE GETS SUCKED INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. THE PCM EXPECTS TO SEE GAS VAPORS ENTERING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND IT IS PREPARED TO ADJUST AIR/FUEL MIXTURES TO COMPENSATE. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT PREPARED TO SEE LIQUID GAS COMING INTO THE INTAKE. THAT'S WHAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. I'VE READ IN MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS THIS SAME SITUATION IS HAPPENING TO MANY ON THE CHRYSLER 300C EARLY YEAR MODELS. HOPEFULLY A RECALL WILL BE CREATED TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION. *TR
1ST TIME CAR STALLED AFTER FILLUP. NEXT TIME MORNING AFTER A FILLUP, CAR STALLED THEN WOULDN'T START. LAST TIME STALLED AS ENTERING FREEWAY ALMOST AN ACCIDENT. *TR
THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE KEPT LOSING AIR, SO I BROUGHT IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES. THEY KEPT SAYING IT WAS FIXED, IT LASTED ABOUT 6 WEEKS AND STARTED LOSING AIR AGAIN, AFTER WEEKS OF PUTTING AIR IN IT I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. COME TO FIND OUT THE ALUMINUM WHEEL HAD A CRACK IN IT AND HAD WHAT LOOKED LIKE J B WELD ON IT. I HAD TO BUY A NEW WHEEL FOR THE COST OF $355. I TOOK THE CRACKED WHEEL BACK TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID, HOW DO I KNOW YOU DIDN'T DO THAT, THAT'S WHEN I LOST IT. THEY PUT MY FAMILY AND I IN A CAR WITH A CRACKED WHEEL AND THEY KNEW IT. HE SAID WHAT WAS YOUR WARRANTY I SAID 30 DAYS AND TOLD ME TO GET OFF HIS LOT. I ASKED HIM TO JUST MAKE IT RIGHT. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS ALL FOGGED UP THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT, IT DOES NOT SHINE AS BRIGHT AS THE OTHER ONE AT NIGHT. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE THEY PUT A STICKER ON THAT CAR KNOWING IT HAD DEFECTS WITH IT AND THEY DON'T CARE. I THINK THEY NEED THAT RIGHT TO GIVE OUT STICKERS REVOKED. I TOLD HIM I WAS GOING TO CALL MY LAWYER HE SAID GO A HEAD CALL ANY BODY YOU WANT. SO I DID STARTING WITH ATE AG OFFICE I AM DEALING WITH MASSPIRG REF #131117. AT THIS POINT I WOULD LIKE THE HEADLIGHT FIXED THE MONEY FOR THE RIM AND SOOTHING FOR MY TIME AND AGGRAVATION LIKE MAYBE THE COST OF THE CAR OR THEY CAN TAKE IT BACK AND REIMBURSE ALL MONIES INVESTED BY ME. *TR
I TURNED ON MY CAN AND IT ACCELERATED BY ITS SELF AND I GET NO RESPONSE WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL .. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ROLLED FORWARD. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION THE GEAR LEVER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION CUP PLUG WAS REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V460000(POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.
I WAS INTENDING TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY FLOOR SHIFTER OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO AT THIS POINT. I HAD TO MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS FOR TRANSPORTATION. THE COST OF REPAIR IS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND $500.00. I HAVE SPOKEN BOTH WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. CHRYSLER TOOK MY INFORMATION INCLUDING MY VEHICLE MILEAGE OF 54000. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. A HIGH NUMBER OF OTHER 2005 CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXACT PROBLEM. IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39. THEIR EXPLANATION ON HOW THEY REACH THEIR DETERMINATION AS TO WHICH 2005 CHRYSLER 300'S THEY WILL SERVICE FREE OF CHARGE IS UNCONSCIONABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT I ALSO FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I ASK THAT THE NHTSA RESEARCH THIS FACT. I CAN SEE THIS HAPPENING AFTER A MOTHER PULLS TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TEND TO HER CHILD. I CAN SEE THIS HAPPENING AFTER I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TEND TO MY AILING MOTHER OF 82. THESE ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. IT IS UNFAIR TO THE PURCHASER. IT IS UNSAFE FOR THE PUBLIC. THANK YOU. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE IT STALLED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP WITH GAS THE CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD TO CRANK THE CAR AND QUICKLY START DRIVING TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR 70 MILES WITHOUT STOPPING AND NOT HAVING ANY ISSUES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN A HIGH TRAFFIC (STOP AND GO) AREA!! *TR
AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED 3-4 TIMES BEFORE BEGINNING TO SURGE. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF STALLING/SURGING, IT WAS FINE. IT DOES IT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS FILLED NOW. *TR
MY CAR WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2004 AND IT IS A 2005 ONE OF THE FIRST MODELS SOLD... THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SHIFTER PLUG MY CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO GO FROM THE PARK POSITION..I FILLED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER THEY CALLED ME AND SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT RECALLED I AM WONDERING WHY... MY CAR WAS BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2004 AND IT WAS A 2005...BUT THEY WONT SEND ME A LETTER OR SHOW ME THE VIN NUMBERS THAT WERE RECALLED. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THEM AT THIS POINT. *TR
THE CAR STALLS OUT AT SLOW SPEEDS AND THIS IS OCCURRING SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OR WHEN THE TANK IS ALMOST EMPTY. IF YOU DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON "300C STALLING" YOU WILL LITERALLY SEE 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. THE FIX SEEMS TO BE "REPLACE THE GAS TANK" ACCORDING TO THE DEALER/CHRYSLER. IF THIS IS THE CASE AND IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER REPLACING EVERYONE'S TANKS. I'VE BEEN IN SEVERAL SITUATIONS THAT WERE NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS ENTERING/EXITING A PARKING LOT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC OR MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY WHERE THE CAR STALLED AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I OWNED THE CAR (WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW) BUT AT THE TIME I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST BASIC VAPOR LOCK. AS IT TURNS OUT, THAT'S NOT THE CASE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF YOU TRY TO ENTER TRAFFIC FROM A PARKING LOT OR TRY TO MERGE ONTO A FREEWAY FROM AN ONRAMP AND THE CAR STALLS OUT. CHRYSLER ISN'T STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, IT SEEMS ONLY THE ORIGINAL OR EARLY MODELS OF THE VEHICLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND LIKELY ALL OF THEM ARE OUT OF WARRANTY SO THERE'S NO RECOURSE TO THE CONSUMER EXCEPT TO SPEND THE MONEY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE CAR GOES FROM AN IDLE (OR SLOW MOVING SPEED - 15/25 MPH) TO WHEN YOU ACCELERATE (SPEED AT WHICH YOU ACCELERATE TO IS NOT A FACTOR). PLEASE ADVISE/HELP. *TR
GOT READY TO TAKE KIDS TO THE DOCTOR AND THE TIRE WAS FLAT. MANAGED TO GET THE TIRE AIRED UP WITH COMPRESSOR AT HOUSE AND TOOK TO A MECHANIC TO CHECK TO SEE IF THE TIRE WAS PUNCTURED. TURNS OUT NO PUNCTURE. DECIDED TO REPLACE TIRE IN CASE OF "DRYROT", WHEN TIRE WAS TAKEN OFF, THE RIM WAS CRACKED. HAD TO BUY ANOTHER RIM. 2 MONTHS LATER, ANOTHER RIM DID THE SAME THING. NOW WE'VE HAD A THIRD RIM CRACK. THESE ARE THE STANDARD FACTORY RIMS THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED OF THE PRODUCTION FLOOR WITH. *TR
CAR STALLS WITH A FULL TANK ALL THE TIME, DOES NOT RESTART WITHOUT GIVING IT THROTTLE. *TR
FILLED UP AND LET GAS NOZZLE STOP AUTOMATICALLY. DOES NOT HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY. BUT UPON SLOWING DOWN TO STOP, CAR WILL JERK FORWARD. AND AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP, USUALLY AT A STOP LIGHT OR MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, CAR WILL DIE. CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THIS WILL HAPPEN A FEW TIMES UNTIL SOME FUEL IS BURNT. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF CAR JERKS FORWARD INTO ANOTHER CAR. I GOT THIS LINK AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE 300CFORUMS.COM ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS A BAD GAS ISSUE. BUT FOUND IT TO HAPPEN ANYWHERE I FILL UP. *TR
AFTER FUELING VEHICLE IT STARTS THEN CUTS OFF IMMEDIATELY IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IF IT DON'T CUTOFF RIGHT AWAY IT STALLS SOON AS IM DRIVING OFF THIS IS NOT SAFE WISH NHTSA WOULD START RECALLS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR LOSE THEIR LIFE OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT MY CAR IS AT REPAIR SHOP NOW NEEDING NEW FUEL TANK AND EVAP CANNISTER COST 1000-2000 DOLLARS THERE IS NO WAY I SHOULD BE PAYING FOR A MANUFACTURES DEFECT WAS TOLD VEHICLE IS GETTING RAW FUEL IN EVAP CANNISTER THERE HAS BEEN FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR COINCIDENCE IM ASKING THE NHTSA TO DO THEIR JOB BEFORE ITCOST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE. *TR
WHILE DRIVING I SMELLED A "SWEET ODOR" & NOTICED HAD RISEN & ALL OF A SUD THE HEAT INDICATOR HAD RISEN & ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. I SAT FOR 20 MINUTES & ATTEMPTED TO START AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. I WAITED AN HOUR, NTRIED AGAIN & NO LUCK. SO I LEFT THE CAR & ON MONDAY CONTACTED THE SERVICE STATION WHO INSPECTED THE CAR & INFORMED ME IT HAD THROWN A PISTON & MY WHOLE MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. CHARGE WAS $3104.94 + CAR RENTAL. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR & IT EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. I ASK CHRYSLER MOTOR CO IF THEY KNOW OF ANY REASON THIS WOULD OCCUR & IF THEY WOULD GRANT ANY PORTION OF THIS EXPENSE? THANK YOU *TR
THE GAS PEDAL IS NOT RETURNING BACK AND I HAD TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE CAR WITH BRAKE AND ALSO BY LIFTING THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY RIGHT FOOT. AT ONE OCCASION I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL TO AVOID AN IMPACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT.
FILLED UP AT GAS STATION. DID NOT "TOP OFF" TANK. ALLOWED IT TO STOP ON ITS OWN. CAR DIED UNEXPECTEDLY PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION INTO TRAFFIC. DIED TWICE AGAIN ON WAY HOME.
AFTER FUELING THE CAR, IT STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS WAS ABOUT 30,000 MILES AGO. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MORE FREQUENT. NOW, AT 137,000 MILES, THE CAR ALWAYS STALLS OR TRIES TO STALL AFTER FUELING. I HAVE ADAPTED TO THE PROBLEM BY ALWAYS FUELING UP AT A STATION THAT IS ADJACENT TO AN ONRAMP. I GET THE CAR ONTO THE FREEWAY RIGHT AWAY AND RUN IT AT 65 OR SO MPH.... TO FAST FOR THE CAR TO STALL. IT JUST RUNS ROUGH FOR A FEW SECONDS EVERY FEW MINUTES FOR 5 OR 10 MINUTES, THEN RUNS FINE. IT IS PROBABLY UNWISE TO PUT A CAR ON THE ROAD WITH A KNOWN STALL PROBLEM, BUT I COULD SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT THE PEOPLE AT CHRYSLER. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BECOME STUCK IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.
THIS HAS HAPPEN AT EVERY FILL-UP. I'VE OWN MY CHRYSLER 300C SINCE MAY 2004 (ONE OF THE FIRST TO PURCHASE) AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE 2008. I HAVE TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL TO PUT IN THE TANK AT EVERY FILL-UP. IF NOT, THE CAR WILL STALLED UNTIL THE EXCESS FUEL IS BURN OFF OR YOU HAVE TO DRIVE ON ROAD WITHOUT LIGHTS UNTIL THE FUEL GAUGE GOES A LITTLE BELOW THE FULL MARKER. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *JB
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED ON AND OFF. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE BULBS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO UPDATED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM BUT THE UPDATE DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 138,688.
IN THE VERY LATE AFTERNOON OF 8/16/2013, AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING, I WENT BACK TO MY CAR THAT I PARKED EARLIER IN THE STORE'S PARKING LOT, PLACED THE GROCERIES IN THE TRUNK, CLOSED IT, GOT IN THE CAR, PUT ON MY SEAT-BELT AND STARTED THE ENGINE. SO FAR, EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND NORMAL. I THEN PRESSED THE BRAKES PEDAL, RELEASED THE HAND-BRAKE AND TRIED TO PULL THE GEAR SHIFTER FROM PARK TO REVERSE, NOTHING, IT DOESN'T WORK; IT'S STUCK. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, RESTARTED IT AND WENT TO THE SAME PROCESS TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. STILL, NOTHING, EVEN AFTER ABOUT 20 REPEATS. FOR SOME REASON, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS DEFINITELY STUCK IN PARK. EVEN OVERRIDING THE PARK INTERLOCK SYSTEM (AS RECOMMENDED BY CHRYSLER, IN CASE OF AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION) DIDN'T HELP. AFTER 2 HOURS TRYING, IN VAIN, TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE HELP OF A VERY KIND PASSERBY, ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED, I GAVE UP AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO MY RESIDENCE. AS I SEARCHED THE INTERNET THE NEXT DAY TO FIND OUT WHETHER ANY OTHER CHRYSLER OWNER HAD REPORTED SUCH AN EXPERIENCE, I FOUND HUNDREDS OF CHRYSLER AND DODGE OWNERS REPORTING SUCH AN EXPERIENCE WITH THEIR VEHICLE. THE CULPRIT IS A PIECE OF PINK PLASTIC THAT CHRYSLER HAS USED AS A PART IN THE PARK INTERLOCK MECHANISM OF THEIR 2005 - 2007 CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLES. A REPEALING SPRING IS ATTACHED TO THAT PART BY A TINY TAB. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE, BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS TO ANYONE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF COMMONSENSE THAT AS THAT PART IS FREQUENTLY USED (DURING PARKING AND GETTING OUT OF PARKING), THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF THE TENSION OF THE SPRING AND THE WEATHER CHANGES WILL RESULT IN HAVING THE TINY TAB ON THE PINK PLASTIC PART EASILY BREAK. THIS WILL HAPPEN TO EVERY CHRYSLER AND DODGE MODEL THAT IS USING THAT PIECE OF PLASTIC. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY MAKE SUCH A TERRIBLE AND UNACCEPTABLE ENGINEERING MISTAKE. *TR

I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEMS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL VAPOR CANISTER AND THE GAS TANK, WHICH IS POSSIBLY A FACTORY DEFECT. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE FUEL VAPOR CANISTER WAS ON BACK ORDER, WHICH INDICATES THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND ADDRESS THIS POTENTIAL DANGEROUS FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

DROVE TO WORK FINE BUT WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AFTER WORK IT WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM "PARK". HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. NOT SURE WHY THERE WASN'T A RECALL? *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARKING GEAR FAILED TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.
I WENT TO THE POST OFFICE, PARKED AND CUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN I GOT READY TO DEPART. I CUT THE CAR ON AND ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE GEAR INTO REVERSE. THE GEAR WOULD NOT MOVE INTO REVERSE. SO I PUT THE CAR BACK INTO DRIVE, AND HAD ENOUGH SPACE TO GO FORWARD. I DROVE HOME. WHEN I ARRIVED, THE GEAR WOULD NOT STAY IN PARK. THE CAR START ROLLING AND I HAD TO CUT THE IGNITION OFF TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING. THE GEAR SHIFT IS STILL IN DRIVE. HAD TO SECURE IT IN PLACE BY PUTTING BRICKS BEHIND CAR TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. *TR
ENGINE STALLS AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. CURRENTLY I CAN NOT FILL UP THE GAS TANK AND IF I DO THE ENGINE WILL STALL AND DIE. LAST OCCURRENCE I WAS DECELERATING DUE TO TRAFFIC TO AROUND 30-35 MPH. THE ENGINE DIED DURING THE DECELERATION. THE TRAFFIC HAD PICKED UP TO 50-55 MPH AND I COULD NOT START THE CAR SO I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. IF THIS HAD BEEN IN A LOCATION THAT I COULD NOT PULL OFF THE ROAD I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. TO COMPOUND THE ISSUE I CAN NOT GO FROM NEUTRAL START THE CAR AND THEN INTO DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND GO INTO PARK BEFORE DRIVE TO GET IT TO WORK. *TR
CAME FROM THE GAS STATION AND FILLED UP GAS. AFTER 3 BLOCKS FROM THE STATION, THE CAR STALLS WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN: NO POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I MUSCLED THE CAR TO MAKE THE TURN AND NEARLY HIT INCOMING TRAFFIC BUT CAME TO A FULL STOP. ENGINE LIGHT ON BUT NOT THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT. STARTED AND PROCEEDED SLOWLY. AFTER A FEW BLOCKS, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I REACHED AN INTERSECTION AND CAME TO AN IDLE. I PULLED THE CAR TO THE CURB AND RESTARTED THE CAR. I WAS WORRIED THAT IT WOULD STALL AGAIN SO WHENEVER I REACHED AN IDLE/STOP LIGHT OR SIGN, I DELIBERATELY PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS AT NEUTRAL. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS EVENT, NEEDLESS TO SAY. *TR
CAR STALLS AFTER FUELING. THE CAR WILL DIE AND BE VERY HARD TO TO STEER, BREAK AND CONTROL. THIS NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL UP. I NEVER TOP OFF, AND STOP FUELING ONCE THE PUMP AUTO STOPS. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. CASE #[XXX]. I HAVE READ SEVERAL REPORTS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 200,000 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND I SIDESWIPED THE SIDE OF A GUARDRAIL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT I EXPERIENCED WAS THE GEARSHIFT GETTING STUCK IN PARK. LUCKILY I WASN'T TOO FAR FROM HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I'M WAITING FOR A DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY CAR CUTTING OFF AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I NOT FILL THE GAS TANK TO THE FULL LINE. SO FAR THIS HAS WORKED BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. ALONG WITH THE CAR CUTTING OFF MY DRIVER SIDE MIRROR DIMMER IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE MIRROR HAS AN ORANGE TINT TO IT AND WHEN I LOOK AT IT THE IMAGES ARE BLURRED. THERE ARE LIST OF OTHER ISSUES I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR BUT I WOULD BE TYPING ALL DAY. *TR

THIS PROBLEM ONLY AFTER FILL THE GAS TANK. AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR DIED AND WON'T START UNTIL YOU PUT IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS UNTIL SOME OF THE FUEL HAS BEEN USED UP. I WOULD HAVE IT HAPPEN MAKE IT HOME. THEN THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE IT THE CAR WILL DIE UNTIL ITS BEEN DRIVEN ENOUGH TO USE UP SOME FUEL. THIS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPEN AS YOU SLOW DOWN OR START UP. I HAVE HAD IT DIE WHILE TURNING AND LOSE ALL CONTROLS BECAUSE IT DIES! THE ONLY WAY TO COMBAT THIS IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK. THAT WORKS IF I DRIVE THE CAR BUT MY FAMILY MEMBERS FORGET THAT AND HAVE LOST CONTROL ALSO! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 YEARS! DANGEROUS. *TR
WE PURCHASED OUR 2005 CHRYSLER 300C ON MAY 24, 2013 WITH 49,755 MILES ON VEHICLE. WE PICKED UP VEHICLE ON MAY 25TH FROM DEALER AND WENT TO GAS STATION TO FILL UP GAS TANK. UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER. TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE AND AFTER TWO TIMES IT STARTED AGAIN BUT STILL CHUGGED AND WOULDN'T PICK UP SPEED. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 10 MILES. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN RIGHT AWAY AND AFTER READING OWNERS MANUAL WE JUST THOUGHT MAYBE IT HAD BEEN SITTING LONG AT DEALER OR SOMETHING. ON JUNE 17TH WE AGAIN HAD TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK AND UPON DOING SO THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE STALLING, CHUGGING AND JUST NOT RUNNING CORRECTLY. WHILE TURNING LEFT THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AND I HAD A VERY HARD TIME RESTARTING. IN THE MEAN WHILE OTHER CARS WERE COMING AT ME FROM BOTH BEHIND ME AND IN FRONT OF ME. THIS REALLY SCARED ME SO I CALLED A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT COULD BE AND WE SHOULD BRING IT IN. AT THAT POINT I DECIDED TO LOOK ON INTERNET TO CHECK FOR RECALLS AND ENDED UP FINDING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 2005 CHRYSLER 300C AS WE HAVE. THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS TO EITHER NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY OR HAVE A NEW TANK INSTALLED AT A COST OF ANYWHERE FROM $1500.00 ALL THE WAY UP TO $2500.00 WHICH IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING THIS REALLY SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ON CHRYSLER'S PART. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT POSSIBLY LEADING IN A DEATH FOR CHRYSLER TO ACT ON THIS PROBLEM? THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR
2005 CHRYSLER 300C. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE ENGINE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER HE LEFT THE GAS STATION, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO FLUTTER AND THEN STALLED. THE CONSUMER THEN LEARNED IF HE ONLY FILLED THE TANK 3/4 FULL, THE STALLING DID NOT OCCUR.

THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK AT THE REAR OF VEHICLE AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR AXLE PINION SEAL AND YOKE. ALSO ON THIS DAY THE TRIM PIECE AROUND THE DRIVERS SEAT CAME LOOSE AND THEY REPLACED THE SIX (6) SCREWS THAT HAD FALLEN OUT. NEXT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CLIP BROKE AND THEY REPLACED IT. AS OF THIS REPORT, JUNE 6, 2013, BOTH VISOR CLIPS ARE BROKEN. LASTLY, THE CARPET ON THE FLOOR BOARD FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IS COMING UP. 02/17/05, THERE WAS A RECALL ON VEHICLE D29 REPROGRAM PCM AND TCM08-D2-91-82, RECALL ON VEHICLE D28 BATTERY CABLE STUD FASTENERS RECALL D28 INSPECT BULKHEAD STUD 08-D2-81-82 ; RECALL ON VEHICLE D50 RADIATOR ISOLATOR BRACKETS. THE BOLTS WERE BROKEN AND REPLACED WITH RAD SUPPORT BRACKETS 07-30-10-50 07-D5-01-82. I WAS CHARGED 32.05 FOR LABOR, G.O.G., EPA PLUS TAX. 08/24/07, SLACK IN LEFT OUTTER TIE ROD END. THE SEEING OIL LIGHT WAS REPLACED ON 05/22/09 FOR $166.63 AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BLEEDER HOUSING (LEAKING) $197; WATER PUMP & THERMOSTAT $854.00. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ON 07/02/12. THE KEY COMES OUT OF IGNITION SWITCH WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON 8/7/13 . THE ECU REPLACED ON 8/22/12, CAR WOULDN'T GO OVER 25 MPH AND RPM STUCK @ 1000. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED ON 05/13/13, HAD A LEAK. THE TIMING CHAIN, WATER PUMP AND PLENUM GASKET WAS REPLACED ON 06/03/13 AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THAT ETC LIGHT ARE STILL FLASHING IN THE DASH. THE REASON "SUPPOSEDLY" NOW IS THAT CHRYSLER ISSUED A BULLETIN FOR MECHANICS TO HAVE CAR OWNERS TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND THIS IS AS OF JUNE 6, 2013. I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE MONEY, TIME NOR PATIENCE FOR THIS VEHICLE! OBVIOUSLY, IT IS A LEMON, BY NO STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. THE COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE OBVIOUS FRAUDULENT ADVERTISEMENT OF THEIR PRODUCTS. I AM SEEKING TO SUE THE COMPANY. THEY KNEW VEHICLE WAS NO GOOD. *TR
I WAS STOP WAITING ON THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME TO GO WHEN A LAGER COMPANY TRUCK HIT ME IN BACK, THE TRUCK NEVER STOP, HE HAD TO BE DOING 50 MILE OR MORE, BUT MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOYED CAUSE HEAD TRAUMA AND NECK, BACK, PROBLEMS, THE TRUCK SMASHED IN THE BACK OF MY CAR AND THE GAS TANK HANG OUT IF I WOULD HAVE HAD MORE GAS IN IT, IT WOULD HAVE BLOWN UP. I HAVE PICTURE TO PROVE THIS FACT AND WAS TOLD THAT BY THE CAR DEALER COLLISION DEPARTMENT. *TR
HI, WHEN FUELING THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C TO FULL, THE CAR WILL DRIVE AND STALL RANDOMLY. IT'S UNPREDICTABLE AND HAPPENS EACH TIME YOU FILL THE TANK. IT'S REPETITIVE AND CAN BE DUPLICATED ALWAYS. IT'S CERTAINLY VERY HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE, AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT TWICE TRYING TO ENTER THE ROADWAY WHEN IT STALLS, AND IT TAKES A MIN TO ACTUALLY GET IT STARTED AGAIN IF IT ACTUALLY DOES START. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AROUND THE 50K MILE MARK. THIS NEEDS YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, AND QUITE MANY 300C OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME VERY PROBLEM. *TR
THIS PROBLEM ONLY AFTER FILL THE GAS TANK. AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR DIED AND WON'T START UNTIL YOU PUT IN PARK. THIS HAPPENS UNTIL SOME OF THE FUEL HAS BEEN USED UP. I WOULD HAVE IT HAPPEN MAKE IT HOME. THEN THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE IT THE CAR WILL DIE UNTIL ITS BEEN DRIVEN ENOUGH TO USE UP SOME FUEL. THIS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPEN AS YOU SLOW DOWN OR START UP. I HAVE HAD IT DIE WHILE TURNING AND LOSE ALL CONTROLS BECAUSE IT DIES! THE ONLY WAY TO COMBAT THIS IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK. THAT WORKS IF I DRIVE THE CAR BUT MY FAMILY MEMBERS FORGET THAT AND HAVE LOST CONTROL ALSO! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 YEARS! DANGEROUS *TR
I READ ABOUT THIS IN THE PAPER ON 5-13-2013. AFTER FILLING UP , I STARTED DRIVING IN 3 LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 55. THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T GET HIT BY ONE OF THE OTHER CARS. THIS HAPPEND SEVERAL OTHER TIMES AFTER THAT. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. THEY SAID I MUST HAVE TOPPED OFF THE GAS. I SAID NO. THEY SAID THEN DO NOT PUT SO MUCH GAS IN AT ONCE. WELL THEY JUST BLEW ME OFF. I REALLY THINK THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR SOMEONE. *TR
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND DRIVING AWAY FROM GAS STATION, ENGINE WOULD STALL AND DIE. TRIED RESTARTING BUT DIFFICULT TO DO AFTER MANY ATTEMPS. VEHICLE WOULD FINALLY DRIVE NORMAL AFTER STARTING AND RUNNING ENGINE AT HIGHER THAN IDLE SPEED. THIS STALLING WOULD HAPPEN ANYTIME I WOULD FILL TANK. I WOULD NEVER TOP OFF TANK BUT WOULD FILL TILL PUMP WOULD STOP THE FIRST TIME. IF I FUEL VEHICLE WITHOUT FILLING TO TOP, VEHICLE RUNS FINE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,000. *TR
VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFILLING THE FUEL TANK - USUALLY ONCE WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF THE SERVICE STATION. SOMETIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN A FEW MILES, THEN THE STALLING PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING NOR HOW TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. *TR
I FILLED THE TANK UP TO FULL LIKE I HAD MANY TIMES BEFORE. I HAVE ALWAYS PREFERRED RELYING ON GALLONS AND NOT THE AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUT OFF TO KNOW WHEN IT WAS FULL TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE OVERFILLING. I HAD GONE MAYBE 10 YARDS AFTER RESTARTING AND SHE STALLED. TRIED TO CRANK HER BACK UP, AND SHE WOULD SPUTTER AND TRY TO START, BUT IT TOOK A FEW TRIES. THEN, AS I AM PULLING INTO THE STREET, IT DIED AGAIN BUT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THEN IT DIED 10 YARDS LATER, AGAIN. IT CONTINUED TO STALL EVERY FEW FEET UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET THE RPMS UP AND HOLD IT IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR TO ATTEMPT AND BURN UP AS MUCH FUEL AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ANYTIME FOR THE NEXT 15 MILES OR SO WOULD CAUSE A STALL BUT ALWAYS FOLLOWED WITH AN IMMEDIATE START UP. WHEN IT STALLS THAT VERY FIRST TIME IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES FOR IT TO START AND THEN IT IS VERY ROUGH FOR A FEW MILES. SINCE THAT DAY ANYTIME I FILL UP TO WITHIN ABOUT A GALLON OF MAXIMUM CAPACITY IT WILL START THE STALLING PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. COMBINE BAD GAS MILEAGE WITH A TANK THAT CAN'T BE FILLED AND IT'S SAFE TO ASSUME I SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT GAS STATIONS. *TR
THE CAR STALLED AFTER FUELING. ONCE THE PROBLEM STARTED IT CONTINUED EVERY TIME I FILLED THE TANK. I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE A NEW GAS TANK INSTALLED WHICH COST OVER $1200.00. *TR
WHEN FILLING UP THE CAR, WHEN I COME TO AN IDLE...THE CAR DIES. HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE CAR AND HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER IT'S FILLED. WHEN WE DON'T FILL UP THE CAR, IT NEVER HAPPENS. WE CALLED OUR CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT CHRYSLER IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT AND THEY HAVE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE COMPLAINT. *TR
AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, ENGINE WOULD REPEATELY STALL (AT IDLE OR AT 40 MPH) UP TO 6 TIMES WITHIN 2+ MILES.. INCIDENT DID NOT SEEM TO OCCUR IF THE TANK WAS NOT FULL. *TR
ENGINE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING AND CONTINUED TO STALL UNTIL OR HESITATE UNTIL 2 - 3 GALLONS OF GASOLINE WAS BURNED OFF. THE CONDITION HAPPENS ALMOST 100% OF THE TIME IF THE TANK IS FILLED TO THE FIRST CLICK DURING REFUELING - IT THE TANK IS ONLY FILLED TO 85% THE CONDITION WILL NOT OCCUR. THE STALLING CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS HARD TO RESTART AND REQUIRES EXCESSIVE CRANKING. IT APPEARS THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM SENDS RAW FUEL TO THE THROTTLE BODY INSTEAD OF FUMES - THE ENGINE THEN STALLS AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART UNTIL AN IGNITABLE AIR/FUEL RATIO IS RE-ESTABLISHED. I WAS DRIVING THE SUBJECT VEHICLE AT 35 MPH AND HAD TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN WHEN THE ENGINE DIED AND THEN LOST POWER STEERING. TRYING TO COMPLETE THE TURN WITHOUT POWER STEERING WHILE TRYING TO RESTART A FLOODED ENGINE WAS DIFFICULT AND COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I'M AWARE THAT THE NHTSA IS LOOKING INTO 2006 MODEL YEAR CHRYSLER 300S EQUIPPED WITH THE HEMI ENGINE FOR THE EXACT SAME CONDITION. PLEASE BROADEN YOUR INVESTIGATION TO INCLUDE THE 2005 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES TOO. THE BUILD DATE OF THE SUBJECT VEHICLE WAS 03/04 SO IT WAS AN EARLY PRODUCTION VEHICLE. AS BEFORE, THE SUBJECT VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE STALLING CONDITION ALMOST 100% OF THE TIME IF THE GAS TANK IS FILLED TO THE FIRST CLICK. I'LL BE HAPPY TO MAKE THE VEHICLE AVAILABLE TO NHTSA ENGINEERS IF THEY NEED A VEHICLE TO EXAMINE AS PART OF THEIR INVESTIGATION. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT MOST OF THE TIMES THE FAILURE OCCURRED WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING HER FUEL TANK . THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT SHE WAS PROBABLY OVER FILLING THE FUEL TANK AND AS A RESULT, THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 230,000. *TR
VEHICLE STALLS ONE OR MORE TIMES AFTER REFUELING, PARTICULARLY WHILE DECELERATING. VEHICLE MAY THEN LURCH SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE RESUMING NORMAL OPERATION, WHICH USUALLY OCCURS AFTER 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT ONGOING. MECHANIC HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE PROBLEM. *TR
ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING FILLING WITH GAS, THE ENGINE DIED WITHIN 2 BLOCKS OF THE GAS STATION. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON ANY OF THE 3 OCCASIONS AND THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RESTART, REQUIRING AT LEAST 30 SECONDS. ALSO, AFTER RESTART ON ALL 3 OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE RAN VERY ROUGH FOR 1-2 MILES AND THEN RAN SMOOTHLY. ON 1 OF THE OCCASIONS, THE CAR DIED THE NEXT DAY AFTER ONLY DRIVING A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME. AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED, THE VAPOR CANISTER WAS REPLACED, AND THE EVAPORATION SYSTEM SOLENOID WAS REPLACED. ON 1 OF THE OCCASIONS, THE GAS TANK WAS TOPPED OFF BEYOND THE INITIAL SHUT-OFF BY SEVERAL TENTHS OF A GALLON. AFTER THE 3RD OCCURRENCE (70,796 MILES), THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE OLATHE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK (2/20/2013). THE COST WAS $1583.58. SINCE THEN, THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 72,062 MILES ... APPROXIMATELY 1200 MILES SINCE REPLACING THE GAS TANK ... AND HAS NOT DIED FOLLOWING FILLING WITH GAS (6 TIMES). *TR
I FILLED THE TANK AND THE VEHCILE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES THE NEXT FEW MILES. ESPECIALLY AFTER RIGHT TURNS, LIKE WHEN MERGING ONTO FREEWAYS. THIS HAPPENS NOW EVERY TIME WHEN I FILL THE TANK. VERY DANGEROUS. FROM WEB FORUMS I UNDERSTAND GAS IS GETTING SUCKED INTO THE EVAP SYSTEM BECAUSE A CHECK VALVE AT THE GAS-FILLER NECK DOESN'T WORK. WHAT A PAIN! I REPLACED THE EVAP SOLENOID, THAT DIDN'T HELP...THE PROBLEM AT THE GAS TANK FILLER-NECK CHECK VALVE. *TR

A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL 2005-2007 CHRYSLER 300. THE INTERLOCK LATCH DEVICE SPRING HOOK BROKE AND DISABLED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN PARK. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM ON ALL VEHICLES AND ONLY RECALLED A SELECT FEW MADE IN CERTAIN AREAS.

WAS IN MY FATHER'S '05 CHRYSLER 300C, STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF, STEERING COLUMN LOCKED, AND THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN, AND IT CONTINUED TO WORK FINE. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR CAUSES TO THIS PROBLEM, I QUICKLY FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR 300 STALL ON THEM, AND APPARENTLY THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A RECORD OF THE SYSTEM FAIL, OR THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COMING ON. THE REPAIRS APPEAR TO BE IN THE $1200 - $2000 RANGE. SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE THEIR DEALERS FIX FOR FREE, SEEING AS IT IS VERY CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER'S ERROR. HAVING LEARNED OF THE TREATMENT CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMERS RECEIVE, I WILL BE SURE NOT TO BRING MY MONEY TO THEM WHEN I NEED A CAR OF MY OWN. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD BECOME STUCK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RELEASE THE GEAR SHIFTER BUT WAS ONLY ABLE TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V460000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.
WHILE DRIVING MY 300, ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE GAUGES WILL GO ALL THE WAY UP, THEN BACK DOWN. ALMOST AS IF I WERE JUST STARTING THE VEHICLE. ALL WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL QUICKLY AND MY CAR NEVER LOOSES POWER. THIS MAY HAPPEN 10-15 TIMES IN 5 MINUTES. NOW, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL COME ON BY THEMSELVES AND GO OFF SEVERAL TIMES. I CAN'T DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT AS I DON'T WANT THE LIGHTS TO GO OUT ON ME. I FEEL SORRY FOR THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME AS MY CAR KEEPS TURNING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALREADY READ ABOUT SEVERAL OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND CHRYSLER ISN'T WORRIED ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY OR LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL AS MANY COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES THERE ARE OUT THERE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHRYSLER STEP UP AND TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT. AFTER TALKING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP, HE SAID THAT IT COULD BE THE POWER DISTRIBUTION IN THE TRUCK. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE FOR A COULD BE PROBLEM. IT CAN'T BEEN TESTED AS THE PROBLEM HAPPENS SO FAST, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HOOK IT UP TO THE MACHINE TO READ THE PROBLEM. HAVING 4 DAIMLER CHRYSLER VEHICLES, I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEIR LONG TIME CUSTOMERS AND LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE FUEL TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,651. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR LEVER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK UNLESS THE LEVER WAS MANUALLY RELEASED WITH A SCREW DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V460000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED COUNTLESS TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. AFTER FUELING, VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT, EITHER AT IDLE OR UNDER WAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED UNDER VARIOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS; AT SPEED, AT TRAFFIC SIGNALS, OR MUCH WORSE ON TURNS (WITH OBVIOUS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING.) I UNDERSTAND FROM MY OWN RESEARCH THAT THERE IS A CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK THAT FAILS, ALLOWING RAW GASOLINE TO ENTER THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM, WHICH CAUSES THE STALL. THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE THIS VALVE IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, AS THE VALVE IS MOLDED INTO AND IS INTEGRAL TO THE TANKS CONSTRUCTION. I'VE HAD QUOTES AROUND $1,200 TO REPLACE THE TANK, AND IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT THE NEW TANKS WILL HAVE A REDESIGNED VALVE, SO THE PROBLEM MAY NOT IN FACT BE RECTIFIED AFTER ALL. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION, AS I'VE BEEN IN SITUATIONS WHERE THE UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER STEERING COMPROMISED THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE ON TURNS. STALLING COMING OFF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL ACTUALLY CAUSED FOLLOWING VEHICLES TO REQUIRE DANGEROUS EVASIVE MANEUVERS. IT IS INEVITABLE THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SEVERELY HURT OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THESE SUDDEN STALLING CONDITIONS. *TR
ON 3/9/2012 I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR, AS I WAS PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE I FOUND THAT THE GEAR SHAFT WOULD NOT ENGAGE, I DID EVERYTHING TO GET IT TO ENGAGE, BUT IT WOULDN'T BUDGE, AFTER A WHILE I GAVE UP AND CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHO INSTRUCTED ME ON HOW TO GET THE BRACKET TO MOVE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT (THE BRACKET) MOVED, ALLOWING FOR THE GEAR SHAFT TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART MIGHT HAVE BEEN UNDER RECALL, I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH TRANSMISSION CUP PLUG BRACKET WAS UNDER RECALL FOR CERTAIN CHRYSLER, DODGE, AND JEEPS MY CAR DIDN'T FALL WITH IN THE PARAMETER OF THE VIN NUMBER. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR. I WOULD HAVE AGREE TO THIS HAD I NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE DATE ABOVE. ONCE BEFORE THE GEAR SHAFT WOULDN'T MOVE, BUT SOMEONE HELPED ME GET IT TO MOVE, THAT WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL THEN, I WOULD HAVE CONTACTED THE NHTSA SOONER. THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH CHRYSLER IS THAT THEY KNOW THAT THIS PART IS FAULTY, BUT THE COMPANY IS ONLY CHOOSING TO FIX THE (BRACKET) ON CERTAIN VEHICLES. WHAT ABOVE THE 1000'S OF CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, WHERE IS CHRYSLER RESPONSIBILITY TO US-LEFT-HOLDING-THE-BAG CUSTOMERS. MY CAR WASN'T FREE, I PAID HARD EARN CASH FOR MY CAR AND I WANT CHRYSLER TO HONOR ITS PRODUCT. IF THERE WAS A RECALL, AND A MULTIPLE AMOUNT OF CUSTOMER HAVE EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM, THEN CHRYSLER SHOULD BE WILLING OR MADE TO HELP WITH THE PRICE OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE, EVEN IF THOSE CUSTOMERS WHERE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. VEHICLES BREAKDOWN EVERYDAY AND I TRULY AWARE OF THIS, BUT I'M NOT THE ONE WHO PLACED A FAULTY PART IN MY CAR. THIS IS NOT JUST ABOVE NATURAL WEAR-N-TEAR, BUT ABOUT A PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER ITSELF SAW, AND CHOSE TO ONLY ASSIST A SELECTIVE FEW. THIS ABOUT FAIRNESS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND EXITED WHEN THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A WALL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.
RECENTLY PURCHASED 2005 CHRYSLER 300C THOUGHT I WAS GETTING GREAT DEAL ONLY HAD 47700 MILES ON IT. FIRST FILL UP IT STALLED IMMEDIATELY AFTER AND DID SO SEVERAL TIMES. I TRIED REVVING UP THE ENGINE WHILE IN NEUTRAL BUT AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF IT STALLED AGAIN. I WAS SO AFRAID SOMEONE WAS GOING TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND UNTIL I COULD GET INTO TO TURNING LANE. IT SEEMED TO WORK, WELL DIDN'T STALL OUT, WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE WHEN IT SEEMED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO GO DEAD. I TOOK IT BACK THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID WAS A VENT IN FUEL TANK THAT WAS CLOGGED, ONLY FIX TO REPLACE WHICH THEY ARE NOT WANTING TO DO AND I HAVE ONLY HAVE THE CAR 1 WEEK. *TR
AFTER LEAVING MY VEHICLE PARKED IN A GARAGE AT THE VERIZON CENTER IN WASHINGTON, DC FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE GARAGE. AS I LEFT THE PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE AS IF THE ENGINE WERE GOING TO FALL OUT. I DEPRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR BOARD. I WAS GOING UP AN ON RAMP AND THE VEHICLE COASTED BACKWARDS. . LUCKILY THERE WAS A OPEN SPACE THAT MY VEHCLE COULD SAFELY BACK INTO. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. MY VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED APPROXIMATELY 2 DAYS LATER DUE TO IT BEING PARKED IN A BUSY GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE IN THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE THROTTLE WAS NOT OPENING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY CLEANING MY THROTTLE BODY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD MENTIONED THE BUMPER / SKID PLATE PROBLEMS HE HAD BEFORE. I THEN WAS CAREFUL AS TO WHERE I PARKED. WELL, I PARKED THE CAR IN FRONT OF A CONVENIENT STORE AND AS I PULLED BACK, THE FRONT BUMPER CAUGHT ON TO THE CEMENT BLOCK AND CRACKED THE BUMPER AS WELL AS PULLING MOST OF THE SKID PLATE FROM UNDER THE CAR. AS I DROVE HOME I HEARD SOME PIECES FALL ON TO THE ROAD BUT COULD NOT PULL ASIDE TO PICK THEM UP OR I WOULD OF GOTTEN HIT BY A CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO A BODY SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THESE CARS HAVE THAT PROBLEM ALL THE TIME. I HAVE NOTICED THAT 99% OF THE CHRYSLER 300 THAT I SEE ON THE STREET ALSO HAVE THE SAME THING, HANGING BUMPERS AND SKID PLATES. I DID CALL TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT. I DON'T THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. THEY COME FROM THE MANUFACTURE, WITH WHAT I WOULD CALL A DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IN FIXING THEM AND CORRECTING THE PROBLEM SO THAT ANY FUTURE CHRYSLERS DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DOWN SHIFTING, THE VEHICLE WOULD COME OUT OF GEAR AND INDEPENDENTLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN TUBE LEAKED WATER INTO THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC ADVISED HIM THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE TO THE CONTACT.

AFTER FILLING CAR WITH GASOLINE, CAR BEGINS TO STALL AND SHUT OFF. THE CAR WILL START UP AGAIN, BUT SHUTS OFF FREQUENTLY UNTIL THE GASOLINE BURNS. THEN IT RIDE NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I JUST DO NOT FILL THE CAR ANYMORE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S SO UNEXPECTED. IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. *TR
I WAS DRIVING WITH THE A/C ON AND IT JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT WORK AT ALL NOW, WONT LIGHT UP OR ANYTHING. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE AIR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AS WELL. *TR
FORWARDED FROM THE US PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION - LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT FROM CONSUMER RE 2005 CHRYSLER 300-C SRT-8 RECALL. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HER SOON TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CAR WASH. AFTER LEAVING THE CAR WASH AND TRAVELING LESS THAN 50 FEET, THE VEHICLE FILLED WITH SMOKE. HER SON IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, AS IT BURST INTO FLAMES FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO BE CALLED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE CONSUMERS SON LOCATED A RECALL # 04V334000. THE CONSUMER THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING THE RECALL AND THEY CLAIMED THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. SHE WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT HER. AFTER NOT HEARING FROM CHRYSLER AFTER THREE WEEKS, THE CONSUMER CALLED CHRYSLER, WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED A REPORT WOULD BE SENT TO SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS IMMEDIATELY. DAYS LATER, AN INSPECTION REPRESENTATIVE FROM AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY WENT TO THE CONSUMERS HOUSE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. ON APRIL 11, 2012, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CALL FROM CHRYSLER'S LAWYER STATING THEY WOULD HANDLE ALL OF THE EXPENSES INVOLVING THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, THE LAWYER WAS CONTACTED AND GIVEN THE ASSESSMENT OF THE DAMAGE AND THE COSTS INVOLVED, CHRYSLER THEN STATED THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE FIRE DID EXTENSIVE DAMAGE, AND IT WOULD COST MORE TO FIX THE VEHICLE, THAN WHAT IT WAS WORTH AND WAS CONSIDERED TOTALED. *JB
2005 CHRYSLER 300C DIED IN TRAFFIC SHORTLY AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK FULL OF GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DIED THREE MORE TIMES IN TRAFFIC BEFORE RUNNING FINE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWED THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THIS VEHICLE AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK TO FULL. APPARENTLY RAW GASOLINE (RATHER THAN VAPORS) GETS INTO THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM AND ENTERS THE ENGINE, CREATING A RICH FUEL SITUATION AND THE STALLING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. THANK YOU. *TR
SECOND SHIFTER WAS INSTALLED 9-4-2008, MILEAGE WAS 37454. AT COST OF $508.00. THE CAR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY NEEDED THE BRAKE STEPPED ON NUMEROUS TIMES TO ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO RELEASE SO THE CAR COULD BE PLACED IN GEAR.9-19-2012 THE CAR WAS AGAIN TAKEN TO NAPLES DODGE, WHERE ANOTHER SHIFTER WAS INSTALLED AT A COST OF $560.00. THE SECOND UNIT WAS 4578029AC THE THIRD 68091343AA. A NEW CLIP HAS BEEN ADDED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH HAS OCCURRED IN AVENGERS, SEBRINGS, ETC. RATHER THAN ASK FOR A RECALL. CHRYSLER IS HAVING CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, WHILE THEY NEEDED THREE DIFFERENT SHIFTER(CLIPS) TO REMEDY THEIR DEFECTIVE DESIGN. I HAVE WRITTEN THEM A LETTER STATING MY CONCERNS BUT THEY HAVE DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
ENGINE STALLED AT SLOW SPEED IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. ENGINE WAS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO RESTART BECAUSE IT WAS FLOODED. ENGINE STALLING HAPPENED AT LEAST FIVE TIMES BEFORE ENOUGH GAS WAS BURNED OFF TO PREVENT THE CONDITION. NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THE INTERNET INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAPPENS WHEN RAW FUEL FROM THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM IS INGESTED THROUGH THE THROTTLE BODY. THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM SHOULD ONLY CONVEY FUMES BUT A FAILURE ALLOWS IT TO CARRY RAW FUEL TO THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS CONDITION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE INSTIGATED TO ENSURE THAT RAW FUEL CAN NEVER REACH THE THROTTLE BODY VIA THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 176,000.
PARK LOCK OUT MECHANISM FAILED RENDERING VEHICLE NOT USABLE. THE MOUNT POINT ON THE MECHANISM FAILED SO EVEN THE OVERRIDE DEVICE WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON 05-07 VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE BUT THEY CLAIM MY 05 IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL (SB-10038199-2853) AND THAT THEY WILL OPEN A CASE.

ON JULY 17,2012 I DROVE MY VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30 A.M TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO CAMP. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I PARKED THE CAR. APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES LATER I GOT INTO THE CAR, STARTED IT, AND PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO RELEASE MY GEAR FROM THE PARK POSITION. AS I DID THAT, THE GEAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I TRIED THIS APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 TIMES BEFORE GIVING UP. I THEN CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN NEW CARROLTON, MD AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE PART. I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAVE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IN REGARDS TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V460000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). AFTER BEING INFORMED OF THAT INFORMATION, I THEN PROCEEDED TO ASK THE REP. WILL THAT RECALL FIX MY GEAR FROM BEING STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. I WAS PLACED ON HOLD AND WHEN THE REP. RETURNED, SHE INFORMED ME THAT THE MECHANIC SAID NO. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK PERFORMED AT A LATER TIME. I THEN CALLED AROUND TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND INQUIRED ABOUT WHAT THE ISSUE MIGHT BE. I RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM AT LEAST 3 OUT OF 5 MECHANICS WHO STATED THAT IT MAY BE THE BRAKE SENSOR FUSE BEING BLOWN OR IT MAY BE A SOLENOID THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. LATER ON THAT EVENING I WENT TO TRY AND MOVE THE GEAR AGAIN AND WAS UNABLE TO, SO I REMOVED THE CHROME PANEL THAT IS AROUND GEAR ASSEMBLY AND STUCK A FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER TOWARDS THE TOP AND PLAYED AROUND WITH IT. AS I WAS DOING SO, THE GEAR SHIFT MOVED FROM THE PARK POSITION. SO NOW I HAVE TO RIDE AROUND WITH A SCREW DRIVER IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND WE COULD'VE BEEN STRANDED SOMEWHERE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,600. WILL BE GETTING REPAIRED FRIDAY JULY 20,2012. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE COVERING THIS ISSUE. *TR
THE CHRYSLER 300 WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK SHIFTER LEVER WAS BROKEN. THERE IS ALSO A K-39 RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER BUT MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER IT. I SPOKE TO CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE SPRING THAT IS BROKEN PREVENTS THE CAR FROM BEING SHIFTED OUT OF PARK IF THE BRAKE IS NOT PRESSED. *TR
SUDDENLY COULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD TRY TO WALK ME THROUGH TRYING TO GET THE TRIM AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT APART TO GET TO THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE THAT IS TYPICALLY THE PROBLEM AND RIG IT SO IT COULD BE MOVED OR DEALER SAID I COULD CALL TOW TRUCK AND THEY TYPICALLY KNOW HOW TO GET IT STARTED. I GOT A RIDE HOME, LOOKED ON INTERNET AND SAW MANY POSTINGS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. WENT BACK TO THE CAR, FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE INTERNET TO GET TO THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE, USED A SCREWDRIVER TO MANEUVER THE SHIFTER CABLE TO GET OUT OF PARK AND DROVE IT HOME. THEN I DISCOVERED THE K39 RECALL NOTICE ON INTERNET. CALLED DEALER NEXT DAY, WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN ISN'T COVERED BY K39 AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT IT BUT WOULD LIKELY COST ABOUT $300. I CONTACTED MANUFACTURER AND INDICATED I WANTED REPAIR AT NO COST IF I TOOK TO DEALER JUST LIKE CUSTOMERS COVERED BY RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT UNLESS RECALL WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY VIN, I'D HAVE TO TAKE TO DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. MANUFACTURER MADE NO GUARANTEE ABOUT COST TO BE DIAGNOSED/REPAIRED OR IF IT WOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE FOLLOWING DIAGNOSIS. THE K39 RECALL LETTER INCLUDES STATEMENT ABOUT IMPROVING OWNERSHIP SATISFACTION AND IMPROVEMENTS IN EVERY VEHICLE THEY BUILD. APPARENTLY, SATISFACTION OF OWNERS LIKE ME WHOSE VEHICLES HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN RECALL DOESN'T MATTER AND THEY APPARENTLY AREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT IMPROVING EVERY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY MISSED MINE. REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED THANKS TO INTERNET WHERE WE FOUND INFORMATION THAT WE FOLLOWED. WE SAVED TOWING CHARGE & DEALER REPAIR COST ESTIMATED IN EXCESS OF $300. *TR

A/C HAS NEVER RAN COLD SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WE WENT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO SEE IF IT WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT EACH TIME THE DEALER CLAIMED NO RECALL ON THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C A/C SYSTEM, WE EVEN CHECKED THE WEB FOR RECALLS BUT WE FOUND NOTHING. I FOUND THE PROBLEM MYSELF IN JULY 2005, IT SEEMS THAT THIS VEHICLE CAME WITH BAD SCHRADER VALVES HIGH AND LOW, OVER THE YEARS I JUST ADDED FREON, BUT NOW THE LEAK IS SO BAD IT WON'T HOLD A CHARGE MORE THAN 5 DAYS, WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO CLAIMED THE A/C SYSTEM WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A FULL EVAC OF THE SYSTEM, REPLACEMENT OF THE BAD SCHRADER VALVES PLUS LABOR AND TAXES. WE CHOOSE NOT TO HAVE THE WORK DONE BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE INVOLVED. OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH LOWER TIE ROD ENDS, THE TIE ROD ENDS THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE LOOK REALLY CHEAP AS WELL AS THE AFTER MARKET PARTS. WE HAD THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WORKED ON TWICE, EACH TIME JUST BEFORE THE STABILITY LIGHT COME ON WE NOTICE THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKER CONSTANTLY, THE DASH LIGHTS HAS ALWAYS FLICKERED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT CLAIMS REPLACING THE STABILITY PART IN THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, AS OF TODAY JUNE 20, 2012 THE DASH LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING AGAIN WHICH MEANS ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALER.
THE CAR IS STUCK IN PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY.IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD IT IS SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH THAT IS PLASTIC. I HAVE ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART IN ALLOY, A DORMAN PART # 924-706.

I WAS ALSO INFORMED THE SAME PLASTIC PART GETS REINSTALLED INTO THE VEHICLE FOR $200-475 FEE AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MANY TIMES AS THE PLACE I PURCHASED THE PART SAID THEY ORDER THIS PART OFTEN DUE TO THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OWNERS NEED TO REPLACE IT THEMSELVES.

JUST FUELED THE CAR AND LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION AND THE CAR STALLED. VEHICLE KEPT STALLING AS I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. HAD TO BE TOWED. ALSO, EACH TIME I HAVE FILLED THE CAR UP SINCE, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THE CAR SPUTTERS, SHUTS DOWN.

I WAS DRIVING AS USUAL, WENT TO MY GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE. STAYED ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WHEN I LEFT I STARTED THE CAR, WENT TO PUT IT IN GEAR AND NOTHING . IT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF GEAR. I HAD IT TOWED MONDAY AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INFORMED ME THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL IN THE GEAR SHIFT ON OTHER YEAR CHRYSLER 300. I CALLED A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT YES IT HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THAT PARTICULAR PART BUT NOT ON MY YR VEHICLE WHICH IS A 2005. IF ITS A PROBLEM IN OTHER YR 300'S THEN WHY NOT MINE. OBVIOUSLY IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANY YEAR IF ITS ALREADY HAD A RECALL ON OTHER YEAR AND THE SAME CAR. THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL ON ALL. I LOOKED IT UP AND THERE WERE ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND UNEXPECTED. MY MECHANIC SAID WHEN HE TOOK OUT THE PART, SPRINGS AND PIECES FELL OUT THE OPEN PART IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PART THAT HE REMOVED. I WAS TOLD TO SAVE MY RECEIPT AND IF THEY DO DECIDE TO RECALL, I CAN GET A REFUND. *TR
CAR STALLS 4-6 TIMES AFTER FILLUP. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I STALLED ON A BUSY STREET DURING RUSH HOURS TRAFFIC. I WAS ALMOST HIT TWICE. I ENDED UP COASTING INTO GAS STATION WHERE I CALLED AAA AS I WAS AFRAID TO CONTINUE HOME. IT HAS HAPPENED 7 TIMES SINCE THEN. THE LAST TIME I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY. I WENT TO DEALER, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. ITS OBVIOUS THAT THEY DID. MANY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER IS NOT STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AND FIXING THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED. THEY ARE TELLING PEOPLE ALL KINDS OF THINGS INCLUDING CHARGING FOR REPLACING THE GAS TANK. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I CANT BELIEVE THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS AFTER CHARGING OVER 40K FOR THIS CAR. *TR

EARLY BUILD 2005 300C WITH LOW MILES PURCHASED USED 3/11. DRIVEN PRIMARILY AS A HIGHWAY CAR RECENTLY WE STARTED USE MORE IN TOWN. I HAD READ ALL THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS HAD WITH WINDOWS (NOT WORKING) AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND HAD BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES BUT NOT THE ENGINE STALL ISSUE UNTIL OCTOBER. I READ ABOUT NOT FILLING ONE OUNCE BEYOND WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF BUT MY OBSERVATION IS EVEN THAT NOW IS TOO MUCH. WHENEVER THE CAR IS FILLED UP, IT WILL STALL/SHUT DOWN 3-6 TIMES IN THE NEXT 2-3 MILES OF CITY DRIVING. NO STUTTER, JUST SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. I'VE TRIED SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND RACING THE ENGINE WHEN PULLING UP TO STOP SIGNS TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING, WITH LIMITED SUCCESS. NOT THAT I AM RECOMMENDING THAT BUT BETTER THAN DYING WHEN YOU EXPECT IT TO ACCELERATE. A SOMEWHAT SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WHEN GETTING ONTO THE ON-RAMP BUT MORE OF A STUTTER SITUATION THAN ACTUALLY STALLING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ IT IS TOO MUCH GAS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE VIA EMISSIONS HOSE FROM TANK SO COMPUTER DOES NOT COMPENSATE WITH MORE AIR (ENGINE RACING WOULD BE THE RESULT) SO IT FLOODS OUT AS IN CHOKING OUT A LAWN MOWER FROM DECADES AGO TO GET IT TO STOP RUNNING. I'VE OWNED 50 CARS AND THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED BECAUSE OF THIS REASON. EVEN KNOWING IT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN DOES NOT HELP SO I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THE CAR.... IF THEY WERE TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN IN TRAFFIC AFTER FILLING THE TANK IT WOULD BE A FIREBALL WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT'S A VERY NICE CAR TO DRIVE ONCE YOU GET THE STEERING (CRADLE SHIFT AND WEIRD CAMBER SETTINGS) ACCOMPLISHED BUT WE ARE LEAVING IT PRETTY MUCH ONLY FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING AND MANUALLY CALCULATING HOW MUCH GAS HAS BEEN USED AND SO AS TO LEAVE THE TANK 2-3 GALLONS SHORT OF FULL WHEN FILLING IT UP. PAIN IN THE REAR TO BE SURE BUT BETTER THAN MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF SOMEONE AND HAVING THE ENGINE DIE... ALONG WITH YOU. *TR

I FIRST HAD PROBLEMS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN I COULD NOT GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK. THIS HAPPENED PERIODICALLY. I WAS ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT INTO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THE TWO PROBLEMS WERE UNRELATED. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST SAID MY SHIFTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AT THE TIME, SO I TOLD THEM TO REPLACE IT. LATER, I HAPPENED ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER ISSUED BY CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER COULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH THE DATE OF ISSUE OF THIS NOTIFICATION. THE NOTIFICATION STATES IT APPLIES TO "SOME 2005 THROUGH 2007 MODEL YEAR DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR SHIFTER." IT REFERS TO AN "INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE ''PARK'' POSITION." IT FURTHER STATES "IF YOU HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS CONDITION AND HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, PLEASE SEND YOUR ORIGINAL RECEIPTS...ONCE WE RECEIVE AND VERIFY THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE SENT TO YOU WITHIN 60 DAYS." I SENT IN THE REQUESTED MATERIALS. I WAS INFORMED CHRYSLER WOULD NOT REIMBURSEMENT ME BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I FIND THIS HARD TO ACCEPT. THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVERS, BUT FOR SOME REASON CHRYSLER IS ONLY RECALLING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS, NOT ALL OF THEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO COMPLETELY UNLOCK AND OPEN EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD DO THE SAME. I HAVE EVEN HAD THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR BEHAVE THIS WAY. I AM WRITING NOW, BECAUSE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ALMOST NEVER UNLOCKS AND OPENS ANYMORE. WITH BOTH BACK DOORS NOT UNLOCKING AND OPENING, IT CONCERNS ME GREATLY THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD I NEED TO IMMEDIATELY GAIN ACCESS FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE REAR PASSENGERS NEED TO GET OUT FROM THE INSIDE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE DOORS TO OPEN IS TO PULL UP EXTREMELY HARD ON THE DOOR LOCK POSTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED ON ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.
WE PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C NEW IN MARCH OF 2005, SINCE THAT TIME WE NOTICED THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT, AND OVER SAY SEVERAL MONTHS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, I REPLACED TO DRIVER SIDE OUTER TIE ROD END AROUND AUGUST OF 2007, THEN EARLY 2009 THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, IT'S APRIL 2011 AND I'M ABOUT TO REPLACE THE TIE ROD END FOR A SECOND TIME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. *TR
EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELD, IT STALLS. ALSO, IT HESTITATES WHILE DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT ALSO WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. IT TOOK NUMEROUS SHIFTS FROM PARK TO DRIVE TO GET IT TO ENGAGE.

WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLS AFTER 1-2 MINUTES. RESTART AND STALLS AGAIN. GOES ON FOR FIRST 10 MILES AFTER REFILL. THIS HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL UP. ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IS TO FILL TANK AT 80% OR LESS. CHECKED THE INTERNET (CHRYSLER 300C STALLING) AND I FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAD TO SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR
ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, MY GEAR SHIFT STARTED "STICKING" IN PARK. WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE WITHOUT A LOT OF COAXING. WHAT I DID WAS TO KEEP PUMPING THE BRAKES AND AFTER ABOUT 10 OR SO PUMPS, THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD RELEASE. MORE RECENTLY, MY CAR WILL JUST DIE EVEN WHEN I AM GOING OVER 40 MPH. MOST OF THE TIME, I CAN JUST SHIFT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. I AM NOT SURE OF WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE IF I WERE PERHAPS GOING AROUND A CORNER SINCE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN THIS OCCURS. ACTUALLY AS I THINK ABOUT IT, IT ALSO DID THIS WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECORD OF IT ON THE COMPUTER THEREFORE THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. *TR
CANNOT USE SIDE MIRRORS. THE MIRROR LOOKS LIKE IT HAS SOMETHING GROWING INSIDE IT. IT APPEARS TO BE A GLASS FAILURE. I CANT SEE CARS BEHIND ME USING THESE MIRRORS. *TR
WHEN I FILLED UP MY 2005 CHRYSLER WITH GAS ON JAN. 9TH WITH THE TANK JUST 1/2 FULL AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND IT KILLED ON ME. THEN I RESTARTED IT AND WITHIN 2 BLOCKS IT KILLED AGAIN LOSING ALL POWER TO THE CAR. I HAVE FILLED UP TWICE SINCE THEN, WITH THE GAS TANK BEING AT 1/4-1/2 FULL EACH TIME. IT HAS STALLED OUT EACH TIME, TWICE WITHIN 2 BLOCKS OF EACH OTHER. RIGHT BEFORE IT KILLS, IT CHUGS AND LURCHES AND THEN JUST QUITS RUNNING. THE LAST TIME WAS YESTERDAY, JAN. 18TH. THIS TIME I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND AS I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FUELING FOR APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES AND SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT IS NEVER KNOWN WHEN OR WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL LEAVE YOU DISABLED. MY CAR HAS STALLED MANY, MANY TIMES, ON THE ROAD, AT INTERSECTIONS, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, AT STOP LIGHTS, ON RAILROAD TRACKS, ON FREEWAY ON RAMPS AND OFF RAMPS, PARKING LOTS, AND ANYWHERE ELSE IT SO CHOOSES. I TALKED TO MECHANICS AND I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FLAT TOP FUEL TANK DESIGN, REQUIRING THE FUEL TANK TO BE REPLACED, BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER 300C OWNERS. PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

AFTER A SMALL AMOUNT OF DRIVING THE PROBLEM STOPS AND NORMAL DRIVING CONTINUES. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, THERE IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND STEERING. WHILE NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, IT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED ONE. I SEARCHED ON LINE AND FOUND THAT THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY A RECIRC VALVE. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. EVERY FILL UP FROM LOT LEVEL RESULTS IN STALLING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OF DRIVING TIME. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT HAS HAD AIR BAG PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED 10 TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED ON MAY 12, 2005 AND THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED MAY 10, 2004. THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH 1 YEAR AGO AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED ON IT'S OWN; YET, THE AIR BIG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATING INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17700.
I PURCHASED A 2005 300 IN NOV OF 2008, EARLY IN THE NEW YEAR I HAD TO HAVE THE DOOR LOCKS EXAMINED FOR MALFUNCTIONS AND 3 TIRES HAD RIM LEAKS, HAVE RECENTLY REPAIRED ONE OF THOSE TIRES AGAIN 02-09 HAD COLD START ISSUES SEVERE KNOCKING NOISE WHEN STARTING CAR IN COLD TEMPS, TWO ROCKER ARMS WERE REPLACED NEEDLESSLY AS PROBLEM NOT FIXED TURNED OUT TO BE DEFECTIVE MOTOR MOUNTS, MARCH 09 REPLACED TIE ROD ENDS AND STEERING GEAR ALSO STRUT TENSIONS 6-09 AIRBAG LIGHT SENSOR MALFUNCTION ALSO DOOR LOCK MECH REPLACED 12-09 CURRENTLY HAVING THE COLD START ISSUES AGAIN SUNROOF PROBLEMS AND A SEVERE SQUEAK WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS AND DIPS IN ROAD ALSO HAVE HAD A VERY MUSTY SMELL WHEN ACTIVATING FAN FOR A/C OR HEAT IN CERTAIN WEATHER MOSTLY NOTICEABLE IN RAINY CONDITIONS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE THE SPRING OF 09 I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH A USED VEHICLE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PRODUCT. *TR
AUTOMOBILE STALLS EVERY TIME AFTER FILL-UP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT IS BEING IGNORED BY MANUFACTURER. MANY REFERENCES TO THIS PROBLEM ON REPUTABLE MESSAGE BOARDS. NO ACCIDENT YET, BUT REPEATED STALLING WITH DIFFICULTY STARTING AFTER STALL IS VERY DANGEROUS. ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FUEL TANK IS FILLED. *TR
NOVEMBER 3,2009 AUTOMOBILE WAS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING SERIES. WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 57 SOUTH BOUND AND THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE IN THE REAR TRUNK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHERE THE BATTERY IS STORED. CAR WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE CARS IN 2005 AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED. IT RECALL STATED THAT ABOUT 20,000 UNITS WERE EFFECTED BY THE POSSIBLE DEFECT IN ASSEMBLY, AND THE RECALL STATED THAT THE BATTERY CABLES COULD POSSIBLY COME OFF CAUSING FIRES. AND CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS NOT A DEFECT. *TR

WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE SHOP AND FOUND THAT I HAD TO REPLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER COMPONENT IN MY CHRYSLER 300 VEHICLE. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER DODGE AND CHRSYLER VEHICLES, BUT NOT ON MINE. NOW TODAY MY CAR IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS THAT THE GEAR BOC MAY BE FAILING AGAIN. THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION BECAUSE THE GEAR IS NOT GO HOLDING PROPERTY IN PARK. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND SEE IF CHRYSLER WILL FIX IT. I REPAIRED THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 5 MONTHS AGO. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER TOURING MILES:49,113 HOOD SUPPORTS FAILED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, CAUSING HOOD TO FALL HITTING TOP OF MY LEFT SHOULDER CAUSING SEVERE PAIN. I WAS VERY LUCK THE HOOD DIDN'T HIT ME IN MY HEAD. VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR
I HAD TO HAVE THE TIRES REPLACED AT 30,00 MILES. TOOK CAR FOR TIRES AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED STRUTS AND SHOCK. TOOK CARE TO HAVE STRUTS AND SHOCKS REPLACED AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TIRE RODS AND A BALL JOINTS FOR PASSENGER SIDE. DEALER SAID THE BALL JOINT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED AND I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH OR THE CAR COULD NOT BE ALIGNED. THEY WERE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE THE BALL JOINT FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW WILL NOT WORK. AND THE POWER SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT WORK. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER AGAIN. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 PURCHASED IN 2008. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR BECAME STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. SHE WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, SHE STILL COULD NOT GET THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR TO SHIFT GEARS. SHE ATTEMPTED TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL TO REMOVE IT FROM THE PARK POSITION AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A NEARBY AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE STATION AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER STATED THAT HE HAS HAD SEVERAL IDENTICAL FAILURES FOR HER YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE SHIFT BOX WAS FAULTY AND WOULD COST OVER $600 TO REPAIR. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 89,000.
I PARKED MY CAR IN MY WORK PARKING LOT. WHEN I WENT OUT AT THE END OF THE DAY I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. WITH MOTOR RUNNING & BRAKE APPLIED THERE WAS STILL NO RELEASE. I WAS FORCED TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INFORMED ME HE HAD TOWED 10 CHRYSLER 300 THAT DAY FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING SOUTH ON I5 JUST MERGING INTO I99 JUST SOUTH OF BAKERSFIELD CALIFORNIA WHEN THE CAR LURCHED TO A ALMOST TOTAL HALT. WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT 6:00PM. WE DIDN'T ARRIVE HOME UNTIL AFTER 10:00PM HAVING BEEN TOWED OVER THE HILL TO SANTA CLARITA. NEEDLESS TO SAY HAVING OUR VEHICLE LOSE POWER LIKE THAT ON CROWDED FAST FREEWAY WAS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. *TR
MY PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT WORKING IN MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. *TR
I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300 THAT WITHIN THE LAST 25,000.00 MILES HAS HAD THE SHIFTER FAIL TWICE. THIS HAS RESULTED IN THE INABILITY OF THE CAR TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF PARK TO ANY GEAR. I HAVE FOUND THIS ISSUE REPORTED ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT MY FAILURE IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. CHRYSLER HAS REPAIRED THE SHIFTER BOTH TIMES ( ONCE UNDER WARRANTY AND ONCE OUT ) BUT I FEEL THAT THE PART AS BASIC AS A SHIFTER SHOULD NOT FAIL AND POSES A SAFETY ISSUE TO THE CONSUMER SINCE THE FAILURE COMPLETELY IMMOBILIZES THE CAR . *TR
LAST SUMMER I WAS DRIVING TOWARD MY GRANDSON'S BALLGAME. I SLOWED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. SUDDENLY, I LOST POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND AIR CONDITIONING. HOWEVER, MY MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO CODE SHOWING ANYTHING HAD HAPPENED. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, PARTICULARLY FOR MY WIFE WHO WOULD PROBABLY PANIC OR NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM READING COMPLAINTS. AFTERWARDS, I HAD TO REPLACE AN O2 SENSOR FOR THE 3RD TIME AND THEN REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR ON THE AC. *TR
THERE WAS REALLY NO EVENTS TO THIS FAILURE, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT 2005 CHRYSLER 300'S ARE KNOWN FOR. ONE DAY, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY CAR AND I TRIED TAKING OFF THE FUSE TO SEE IF IT WAS GOOD, WHICH IT WAS, BUT NOTHING CHANGED. I READ ONLINE VARIOUS FORUMS AND APPARENTLY THE 2005 300'S ARE KNOWN FOR THAT TO GO OFF BECAUSE THE HARNESS IN THE STEERING MODULE IS TOO SHORT AND UNPLUGS OR GOES BAD. WE HAD TO REPLACE THAT MODULE WHICH COST $33.00 PLUS LABOR FROM A MECHANIC WHICH WAS ANOTHER $100. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED $250, AND THE PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR
1. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT LONG TERM AND SYSTEMIC OIL SLUDGE PROBLEMS CAUSING SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURES IN DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES USING THE 2.7L V6 ENGINE SPANNING FROM APPROX 1998-2005. MY WELL MAINTAINED 2005 CHRYSLER 300 ENGINE FAILED SUDDENLY AND DANGEROUSLY WHILE DRIVING. AND THIS WAS 1 MONTH AFTER PAYING THE CHRYSLER DEALER $850 TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT AT FACTORY SUGGESTED DATES. WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES AND OIL CHANGED EVERY 5000 MILES (OWNERS MANUAL SUGGESTS 7500) THE CHRYSLER DEALER INITIALLY WANTED OVER $2000 TO FIX AN UNEXPLAINED INTERNAL WATER PUMP LEAK, AND TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. ONLY AFTER HEATED DISCUSSION DID THEY BACK DOWN AND REPAIR IT FOR A $100 DEDUCTIBLE UNDER THE 7/70 DRIVEDRAIN WARRANTY. 2. THE FAILURE, HOW OFTEN IT OCCURS, ITS CONSEQUENCES. SIMPLY USING GOOGLE AND ENTERING "CHRYSLER 2.7L ENGINE FAILURE" LEADS TO HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF SUSPECTED OIL SLUDGE (DUE TO POOR ENGINE DESIGN AND OIL NOT FLOWING PROPERLY) THAT CAUSES SUDDEN AND DANGEROUS UNEXPLAINED ENGINE FAILURE INVOLVING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. CHRYSLER AND ITS DEALERS FIRST ATTEMPT TO BLAME CUSTOMERS FOR NOT CHANGING THE OIL ENOUGH OR USING THE RIGHT OIL ETC. IN MY CASE MY DEALER SAID "...CHRYSLER IS BEING VERY QUIET ASKING US TO USE ALL NEW PARTS AND NOT GIVING US ALOT OF INFORMATION...". 3. WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE; I.E, PARTS REPAIRED OR REPLACED (AND IF OLD PART IS AVAILABLE). MY DEALER SAID CHRYSLER TOLD THEM NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT AND TO USE NEW AND MODIFIED PARTS THEY GAVE THEM AND NOT TO USE ANY OF THE OLD PARTS. *TR
I HAVE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C, THE AIR BAG CONNECTION GOES BAD DUE TO AN AUTOMATIC TELESCOPING STEERING WHEEL, ITS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND AN ENGINEERING FLAW NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY ISSUE, THIS PROBLEM APPEAR TO BE TO BE POPPING UP ON MANY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. *TR

HAVE NOTIFIED CHRYSLER BY CERTIFIED LETTER WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THEM AT ALL. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIR, HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE TWO FRONT TIRES REPLACED ALONG WITH A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. A TECHNICIAN FROM THE DEALER ADDED THAT THE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED DEFECTIVELY. THE CONTACT STILL HAS POSSESSION OF TWO OF THE TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY CHRYSLER 300, WHICH ARE BECOMING MORE COSTLY AND DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF MY PURCHASING A NEW CAR. FIRST, I WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. NEXT, THE RACK AND PINION WENT OUT. THANKFULLY THAT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW I HAVE TO REPAIR THE OUTER TIE RODS WHEN I HAVE LESS THAN 75,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS REPAIR IS $500.00 ON TOP OF WHAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CAR PAYMENT AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE BRAKES RECENTLY HAD TO BE REPLACED (ANOTHER $350.00) AND I AM ALSO BEING PRESENTED WITH ISSUES PERTAINING TO THE OIL PAN (WHICH APPARENTLY IS MADE OF PLASTIC). *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT PARKED HER VEHICLE, BUT IT FAILED TO RESTART. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, SHE CALLED AAA AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NO MAINTENANCE WAS DONE TO THE ENGINE PRIOR TO THE DIAGNOSIS. THE CONTACT WAS RECENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE, IN WHICH THERE WERE NO FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,815.

THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, BUT THEY REFUSED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 35,000.

2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING - GEAR SIFT GETS STUCK IN PARK. HAVE HAD THE DEALER CHECK TO SEE IF THEY CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM EVERYTIME IT GOES IN FOR SERVICE. HAVE HAD THIS FIXED ONCE OVER TWO YEARS AGO - DEALER STATED THAT THEY ADJUSTED THE LINKAGE. IT WORKED FINE FOR A WHILE HAVE SINCE MOVED TO ANOTHER CITY AND GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. NEW DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM ONCE IN THEIR SHOP BUT AFTER THEY HAD THE INTERIOR APART HEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO DO IT AGAIN - SO IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. CAR HAS 61,000 MILES AND HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 24,000. *TR
ALMOST 10 MONTHS AGO, I WAS DRIVING IN THE EVENING WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON WHEN SOMEONE STOPPED ME AND TOLD ME ONE HEADLIGHT WAS OFF. THE HEADLIGHT WAS TURNING OFF AND ON BUT WOULD NOT GO OUT COMPLETELY SO I FIGURED IT WAS JUST LOOSE. THEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TAKING TURNS SHUTTING OFF AND ON AND AT TIMES SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SO I AVOID GOING OUT AT NIGHT. WHEN I COULD GET THE TIME OFF FROM WORK I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT MODULAR AND IT WOULD BE APPROX.$900+ DOLLARS TO FIX. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS. DEALER SAID TO CHECK WITH CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A DEFECT AND THEY MAY HAVE HAD A RECALL IN THE PAST. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND DID NOT KNOW IF THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR
PURCHASED THE CHRYSLER 300 JAN 2005 AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS VEHICLE STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT. WE TOOK THE CAR IN 3 TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF HAVING IT AND THEY TRIED TO FIX, SAID THEY HAD AND WAS NOT. ON THE FINAL ATTEMPT, THEY TOLD US TO TAKE IT TO AN ALIGNMENT SHOP ON OUR OWN TO FIX, "WE TRIED." NOW, AFTER 3 YEARS DRIVING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE A NEW PROBLEM, THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE BROKE. WE WERE TOLD SORRY, ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WE HAVE TO PAY 1000.00 TO FIX. ANOTHER DEALER, SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE 800. II WAS TOLD THAT OUR CLUSTER WOULD BE SENT OUT AND REPLACED WITH A REFURBISHED ONE. SO WE DID NOT HAVE IT FIXED, WE DECIDED TO PURCHASE ONE ON OUR OWN (FROM A JUNK YARD OR REFURBISHED) AND NOW THE MILEAGE NEEDS TO BE RESET. BUT WERE TOLD THAT THEY COULD JUST RESET THE MILEAGE FOR 100 DOLLARS. TOOK THE CAR IN NOW BEING TOLD THAT WE CAN NOT DO THAT. SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IF THEY PUT IN A REFURBISHED ONE OR WE DID, IT STILL NEEDS TO BE RESET. IT SEEM TO ME, THEY STILL WANT THE MONEY TO FIX AND THAT'S AL THEY CARE ABOUT! WHEN IT SHOULD BE ONLY 100.00 TO FIX NOW. *TR
I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. IT HAS 72,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR UP TO 70,000 MILES. I HAVE QUITE A FEW PROBLEMS AND I KNOW I AM OVER THE "70,000" MILES, BUT ONLY BY 2,000 AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP ME. THESE REPAIRS WILL COST $1800.00. I HAVE ALREADY PAID $400.00 AND THIS IS THE 7TH CHRYSLER WE HAVE BOUGHT SINCE 1985........WHERE IS THE OWNER LOYALTY? WHEN I CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE, I CAN NEVER GET PASSED A SENIOR REP. YESTERDAY HE TOLD ME THERE WAS NO ONE. HIGHER......THEN GIVE ME THE CEO, HE'D LOVE TO HAVE THIS LITTLE COMPLAINT PASSED UP TO HIM! I ONLY WANT THEM TO PAY THE REMAINING $1400.00 IN REPAIRS.......MY HUSBAND IS PLANNING ON BUYING ANOTHER DODGE TRUCK IN A FEW MONTHS.....AND I WILL BUY A CAR NEXT YEAR. IS WORTH LOSING 2 PURCHASES NEXT YEAR FOR $1400.00????? CAN ANYONE HELP ME? THANKS, EILEEN VERHOEST *TR
GEAR SHIFT ON 2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING MALFUNCTIONED. COULDN'T REMOVE FROM PARK POSITION AND AT TIMES HAD DIFFICULTY PUTTING CAR IN PARK. TRIED TO USE THE MANUAL TO RELEASE. INFORMATION IN MANUAL STATED BY DEPRESSING PINK BUTTON NEXT TO GEAR SHIFT WOULD RELEASE GEAR FROM PARK POSITION; BUT DID NOT WORK. MY HUSBAND IS A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN AND STATED THAT THE PINK BUTTON WAS NOT CONNECTED TO ANYTHING; BUT HE WAS ABLE TO RELEASE IT BY TAKING APART THE CONSOLE TO EXPOSE THE MAIN RELEASE SO THAT WE WOULD NOT INCURR A $150 TOWING COST. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO GANLEY/DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALER AND THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT HAD TO BE REPLACED; BUT THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT WENT BAD NOR WHY THIS PINK BUTTON WAS NOT CONNECTED NOR ABLE TO RELEASE. DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS TYPE OF REPAIR AND THE COST WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILTY. COST OF REPAIR APPROXIMATELY $375 PLUS THE PART IS BACK ORDERED FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE (3) DAYS. I WILL TAKE VACATION DAYS FROM WORK IN ORDER TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED AND WILL BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFEAT SINCE THE INFOMATION IN THE MANUAL STATED PROCEDURES TO FOLLOW IN THE RELEASE BUT NOT EFFECTIVE AND WHETHER OR NOT I CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS AND IF I CAN SEND THE ORIGINAL PART BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER SO THAT A TECHNICIAN CAN HONESTLY ANALYZE IF THE PART WAS INSTALLED PROPERLY AND/OR WHY IT DID NOT PERFORM AS INDICATED IN THE MANUAL. WILL MISS TIME OFF FROM WORK AND NO LOANER WAS PROVIDED OR OFFERED. I UNDERSTAND THAT REPAIRS MUST BE MADE BUT SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT DONE BY THE OWNER SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACUTURER IF THIS TYPE OF REPAIR IS DUE TO THE PRODUCTION OF THE VEHICLE. TO SOME, THIS MAY BE INEXPENSIVE; BUT TO OTHERS WITH TODAY'S ECONOMIC SITUATION; THERE SHOULD BE NO NEED FOR A CONSUMER TO ENDURE AN ADDITIONAL EXPENSE "JUST BECAUSE" WITHOUT A JUSTIFIABLE EXPLANATION. YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
MY CAR IS STUCK IN PARK AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS PART OF A RECALL. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY TOLD ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE BATCH. THEY STATED THAT THEY PICK A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CARS TO BE PART OF THE RECALL BUT THAT THE OTHER ONES GET OMITTED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER 17859460 AND WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER THEY HUNG UP ON ME. I DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS FAIR THAT I NEED TO PAY FOR THE PART AND LABOR BECAUSE CHRYSLER DECIDED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE BATCH. CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF ME BUT I FEEL THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE IN DEFAULT FOR. *TR

KNOWN PROBLEM OF HEAVY CORROSION AROUND OUTER RIM (LOCATION OF TIRE BEAD) OF CHROME CLAD ALUMINUM WHEELS ON CHRYSLER 300C VEHICLES.

THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR BOTH LIGHTS. MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE HID HEADLIGHT OPTION ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. RANDOMLY LOSING HEADLIGHTS IS DEFINITELY DANGEROUS! *TR
THE CAR WOULD START TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY WHILE ACCELERATING SLOWLY AND STALL OUT AT STOPS. THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO HIGHWAY AND MAKE GRINDING NOISES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DEALER STATES THEY FIND NO CODES BECAUSE THE LIGHT SHUTS OFF BEFORE I GET THERE. *TR
WARNING LIGHT FOR AIR BAGS CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. ON JUNE 1ST 2007 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT AND WOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY SUPPLEMENTAL WARRANTY. THE REPAIR ORDER LISTS THE FOLLOWING WORK AS BEING PERFORMED: "41706 CLOCKSPRING 2.00 THE TECH READ DTC PRESENT IN THE ORC FOR DRIVER'S SQUIBB 1 OPEN. THE TECH PERFORMED DIAG AS PER SERVICES INFORMATION AND VERIFIED THE FAILURE. THE TECH REMOVED AND REPLACED THE CLOCKSPRING, RECALIBRATED THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR, CLEARED THE DTC AND TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE". ONLY 3 MONTHS LATER IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007 THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AGAIN STAYED ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS TIME IT WASN'T AN "ELECTRICAL" PROBLEM BUT THE AIR BAG ITSELF, SINCE MY SUPPLEMENTAL POLICY DID NOT COVER AIR BAGS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE ENTIRE $650.00 MYSELF. THE DIAGNOSIS ON THE WORK ORDER READ: "46765 FOUND CODE B1B02 IN ORC MODULE 1.00 DIAGNOSED AND FOUND INTERNAL SHORT IN DRIVERS AIRBAG. NEED TO REPLACE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY". THIS CAR HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT AND IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAGS AND I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OTHER THAN MY OWN ABOUT AIRBAG PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE VEHICLE. *JB
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE GEAR SHIFT IS CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 39,333. UPDATED 10/09/07. *JB
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING 15-20 MPH AND SHIFTING GEARS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V460000 (POWERTRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,939.
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 WHICH SUFFERS FROM ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE UNDER POWER, LEAVING ME WITH NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE SHOP FIVE SEPARATE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND HAS NOT AS YET BEEN REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE MAIN COMPLAINT I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING, EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN ITSELF EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. IN THIS INSTANCE, WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE, THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN WAS PULLING IT INTO THE SHOP TO LOOK AT IT, AND THE LEFT FRONT CONTROL ARM ON THE VEHICLE SNAPPED IN TWO. UPON OBSERVATION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARM WAS SEVERELY BENT AND READY TO SNAP. THE REPLACEMENT CONTROL ARMS ARE TWICE THE THICKNESS, AND TWICE AS HEAVY, AS THE ORIGINAL. THIS IS PROOF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT CHRYSLER NOT ONLY KNEW THAT THE ORIGINAL CONTROL ARMS WERE DEFECTIVE AND/OR INEFFECTIVE, BUT THAT CHRYSLER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM WITHOUT THE ISSUANCE OF A RECALL FOR THE SAID DEFECTIVE/INEFFECTIVE PART. BREAKING CONTROL ARMS ON THE VEHICLE CONSTITUTE A KNOWN VEHICULAR HAZARD THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY, DEATH, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. I HEREBY REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA CONSIDER THIS A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE 2005 CHRYSLER AND ANY OTHER OF THE CHRYSLER VEHICLE(S) WHICH MAY USE THE SAME CONTROL ARMS, PART NUMBER 4782561AE, IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY. THIS DEFECT ENDANGERS NOT ONLY THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BUT ALSO OTHER DRIVERS WHO MAY BE IN THE WAY WHEN THE CONTROL ARMS SNAP. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST ?TOO BAD? AND THAT I COULD NOT PROVE I HAD NOT DONE SOMETHING WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH I ADVISED THEM I KNEW THAT THEY HAD REPLACED THEIR INVENTORY WITH BIGGER, STRONGER CONTROL ARMS. UTILIZING THE ?REASONABLE PERSON? LEGAL TENANT, ANY REASONABLE PERSON WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO DENY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *JB
I HAVE A 2005 300C THAT I BOUGHT IN APRIL 2007, IT ONLY HAD 14425, MILES, WHEN I TESTED DROVE IT, I NOTICE THAT IT WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT, I THOUGHT IT WAS A LOW TIRE, AND I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE CAR FROM THE TIME I SAW IT. AS WEEKS WENT BY AND AFTER PLACING AIR IN ALL TIRES, THE CAR CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND STATED MY PROBLEM, THEY ASKED ME TO COME IN. I TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAVING AND THEY RECOMMEND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT THAT I PAID FOR. I DROVE IT HOME AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING, PULLING TO THE RIGHT, I CALLED THEM AND MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT, THIS TIME THE SAID IT WAS THE TIRES, SO I REPLACED THE TIRES AND PUT THE GOODYEAR ASSURANCE ON IT, AND AGAIN PAID FOR THAT. I TOOK OFF AGAIN FOR HOME, AND NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM. I TURNED THE CAR AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND TOLD THEM IT WAS NOT FIXED. THEY SAID TO ME THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AFTER I HAVE SPENT THE MONEY MYSELF TRYING TO REPAIR A PROBLEM WHEN I STILL HAVE BUMPER TO BUMPER COVER, THAT WHEN CHRYSLER COME OUT WITH A FIX I WOULD BE NOTIFIED. THIS IS WRONG, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD REPAIR THE PROBLEM, AND GIVE US BACK OUR MONEY THAT WE HAVE SPENT IN TRYING TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. *JB UPDATED 11/26/07
300 C FAILS TO START AFTER FOUR DEALER ATTEMPTS TO FIX WHAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN "ELECTRICAL PROBLEM" - A FIFTH OCCURRANCES DOCUMENTED ON 9/4/07 IS YET TO BE RESOLVED BY DEALER SINCE CAR PARKED INSIDE GARAGE WILL NOT START

I HAD A CAR SEAT INSTALLED IN THE REAR CENTER SEAT WITH THE LATCH ATTACHED. ONE DAY WHEN I TOOK THE CAR SEAT OUT, I NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC BAR ACROSS THE BELT BUCKLE HAD CRACKED. THIS IS THE PIECE THAT CINCHES THE BELT TIGHT, THEREFORE THE BELT WOULD NO LONGER TIGHTEN DOWN TO HOLD THE CAR SEAT. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG THIS HAD BEEN BROKEN, SINCE I HAD THE LATCH IN PLACE. I MOVED THE CAR SEAT TO ANOTHER SEAT AND HAD THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CENTER SEAT BELT. THE SEAT BELT WHERE I MOVED THE CAR SEAT TO BROKE. I THEN HAD ANOTHER CAR SEAT IN THE CENTER REAR AND THAT ONE BROKE. EACH TIME IT IS THE PLASTIC BAR ON THE BUCKLE. I HAVE HAD THREE SEAT BELTS REPLACED ON THIS CAR AND ONE OF THEM BEING A BRAND NEW REPLACEMENT. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THEY COULDN'T HAD TO FIND A SOLUTION, THEREFORE NO ONE IS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO USE THE LOCKING CLIPS THAT COME WITH THE CAR SEATS BECAUSE THE SEAT BELTS AREN'T DESIGNED TO MAINTAIN THE TENSION OF HOLDING A CAR SEAT IN PLACE. IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL IT STATES, "THE PASSENGER SEAT BELTS ARE EQUIPPED WITH CLINCHING LATCH PLATES WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO KEEP THE LAP PORTION TIGHT AROUND THE CHILD RESTRAINT SO THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO USE A LOCKING CLIP." THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO BLAME ME FOR THEIR EQUIPMENT FAILURE. *JB
I LEASED A 2005 300 C IN DECEMBER 2005. CURRENTLY, AS OF JANUARY 2007, I HAVE 14000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND IT SHAKES AT 65 MPH. THEY SAY I NEED FOUR NEW TIRES AND THE TIRES ARE WORN DOWN COMPLETELY. THESE ARE CONTINENTAL SELF SEALING TIRES. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT CHRYSLER IS NO LONGER PUTTING THESE "CRAPPY" TIRES ON THEIR CARS. I AM FURIOUS ABOUT REPLACING TIRES ON A LEASE CAR THAT ONLY HAS 14,000 MILES ON IT!!!!! CHRYLSER CAN KEEP THEIR CARS! *JB
MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED WITH 41,000 MILES HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. THE LATEST PROBLEM IS WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE ENTRY KEYFOBS. BOTH FOBS NOW DO NOT WORK. THE CONTROL PANEL INDICATED THE BATTERY WAS LOW. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, THE PANEL STILL INDICATED THE BATTERY WAS LOW. AFTER OPENING THE SPARE FOB TO REPLACE ITS BATTERY, FOUND THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, WHERE ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME SINCE MY CAR WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY (THE CAR IS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OLD), I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $311 FOR TWO NEW KEY FOBS AND PROGRAMMING. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DEALING WITH LOCKING THE CAR, AND THEN UNLOCKING IT THROUGH THE DOOR, LETTING THE HORN SOUND AND THE LIGHTS FLASH, LOOKING AS IF I AM STEALING MY OWN CAR UNTIL I CAN DROP ALL MY PACKAGES IN MY HAND AND GET IN BEHIND THE WHEEL AND INSERT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION. OTHER PROBLEMS, AFTER 15,000 MILES, THE CONTINENTAL SELF SEALING TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED. FIGHT FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH CONTINENTAL PEOPLE! AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS AND FAXES, CONTINENTAL DID REPLACE THE TIRES AT A CHARGE OF $250 FOR FOUR NEW TIRES. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM ON THIS CAR WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE BUTTON WHICH CONTROLS THE VIEW BROKE ALL THREE TIMES. ALL THE SPEAKERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE CAR. SINCE IT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY CAN'T BE REPLACED AGAIN. THEY SOUND AWFUL AND THAT IS THE WAY THEY HAVE TO STAY UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO UPGRADE MY "PREMIUM" CHRYSLER STEREO SYSTEM WITH A PREMIUM SYSTEM FROM AN ELECTRONIC STORE. THE SUNROOF WAS NOT CLOSING PROPERLY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THEY PERFORMED A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE. TWO WEEKS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR THROUGH A CAR WASH AND WAS FLOODED WITH WATER COMING THROUGH THE SUNROOF. Z *NM

DEALER STATED NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN DOCUMENTED THAT TIRES SHOWED IMPROPER WEAR THROUGHOUT THE SERVICING PERIODS. I HAD TO PURCHASE 4 NEW TIRES. THE CAR STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN SOME STORY THAT IT WILL PREVENT ME FROM GOING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC IF I PASS OUT AT THE WHEEL. FRONT WINDSHIELD FOGS UP WHEN USING AIR CONDITIONER, ROAD NOISE IS BAD, POWER TRAIN AND REAR END LEAKS, THE PLASTIC SUNVISOR HOLDERS BREAK OFTEN (REPLACED TWICE). CARPET CUT TOO SHORT TO STAY UNDER DOOR PANELS. *NM
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A DEALER HAVING GENERAL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED, THE DEALER DETERMINED ALL FOUR TIRES HAD PREMATURE WEAR ON THE TREAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. THE TIRES WERE CONTINENTAL CONTISEAL, SIZE: P225/60R18 AND DOT AF7D.
I HAVE NOTICED UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I JUST BROUGHT MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED IN FOR INSPECTION AND I WAS TOLD ALL FOUR TIRES WERE WORN OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS ONLY 24,000 MILES WITH VERY LIMITED DRIVING DUE TO AN EXTENDED ILLNESS. TIRES WERE ROTATED EVERY 6,000 MILES. TIRES ARE CONTINENTAL. THE DEALER HAS SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, HOWEVER MY FRONT END STEERING ARM WAS SAID TO BE DEFECTIVE AND IS BEING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. WHATS THE PROBLEM, THE CAR OR THE TIRES?

2005 300 LIMITED HAS A THROTTLE AND ENGINE PROBLEMS. *TS WHEN THE CONSUMER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE HE TOLD THE SALESPERSON ABOUT THE VEHICLE ROUGH IDLE. THE SALESPERSON SAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 1000 MILES TO WORK THE BUGS OUT OF THE ENGINE. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK HE WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK AND THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED UNDER THE VEHICLES WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AT 1700 MILES. THE DEALER FLASHED THE COMPUTER BUT THE ROUGH IDLE WAS STILL PRESENT. THE FLASH CREATED A HIGH IDLE, LUNGING AND POPPING SOUND WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THE VEHICLE ALSO SHOOK WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OVER 30 MPH THE THROTTLE WOULD NOT EASE DOWN WHEN THE CONSUMER FOOT WAS REMOVED FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONSUMER HAD TO RIDE THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. *NM

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING EDITION, WHICH I PURCHASED IN NOV. 2004. IN OCT. 2005, I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES WITH MY INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKERING. AT THAT TIME, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY FLASHED THE COMPUTER AND THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. THEN ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS AGO, I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY STEREO. THERE ARE TIMES THAT I GET INTO MY CAR AND I DO NOT HAVE SOUND AND NONE OF THE FUNCTIONS WILL WORK. I THEN HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN THE STEREO OFF AND BACK ON FOR IT TO WORK. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT OCCURRING AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. WELL THIS PAST SUNDAY I WAS DRIVING LATE AT NIGHT, AND ALL OF MY LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT, AND EVERYTHING ON THE DASH WENT OUT. MY SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGES WENT TO ZERO, THEN WARNING INDICATORS STARTED FLASHING. ONCE AGAIN, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT SEVERAL CODES WERE STORED IN THE COMPUTER BUT AT THAT TIME THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T SURE OF THE EXACT PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL OCCUR AGAIN AND THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I AM BECOMING FRUSTRATED WITH MY CAR AND I AM READY TO TRADE IT IN. *NM

I CURRENTLY OWN AN 2005 CHRYSLER 300, WHICH IN TURN I AM NOW HAVING TO REPLACE AN ENTIRE ENGINE. MY CAR RECEIVES REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND IT GAVE ME NO SIGN OF FAILURE. I CONTACTED THE MANUF. FOR ASSISTANCE AND IT WAS A DEAD END, AS WELL AS THE OTHER CONSUMERS COMPLAINT ATTEMPTS. IN MY INVESTIGATION AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS THE OIL PUMP FOR A 2.7 IS TO SMALL FOR THE ENGINE, THEREFORE AS THE MILEAGE COMES TO OR EXCEEDS 60,000ML. THE ENGINE WILL CRASH. AS IN MY CASE I AM NOT THE FIRST OWNER THEREFORE I WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACT. THAT THEY WOULDN'T GRANT ME ANY ASSISTANCE. IRONICALLY, CONSUMER ENGINES GIVE OUT AT THE TIME OF THERE EXCEEDED WARRANTY. *NM
(1)THE REAR SEATS ON THE CHRYSLER 300 C CAME FORWARD IN A HEAD ON ACCIDENT. THE WEIGHT OF THE LUGGAGE IN THE TRUNK PUSHED AGAINST THE SEAT, BROKE THE LATCH AND PUT EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AGAINST A 9 AND 11 YEAR OLD HELD IN BY THE SEAT BELT. IT CAUSED THEIR BACKS TO BREAK AND CAUSED MAJOR INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THEIR ORGANIC. (2)ON IMPACT (WHICH WAS A HEAD ON) THE CAR LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE DOORS AND TRUNK TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS CAUSED A MAJOR DELAY IN REMOVING THE BOYS FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. (3)EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION A FIRE BROKE OUT IN THE TRUNK DESTROYING EVERYTHING. THE CAR IS RAPPED IN PLASTIC AND STORED UNDER COVER. *JB
THIS IS FOR A 2005 GEM (GLOBAL ELECTRIC VEHICLE) E4 - FAILURE OF WELD ON BRACKET OF THE LOWER, PASSENGER-SIDE, REAR CONTROL ARM. BRACKET WAS ONLY WELDED ON ONE SIDE TO THE REAR AXEL AND FAILED. THE OTHER SIDE BRACKET WAS WELDED CORRECTLY ON TWO SIDES AND CONFIRMED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. SUCH A CONDITION AT "SPEED" COULD HAVE PROVEN TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *JB
A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C 4 DOOR, WAS TRAVELING NORTH BOUND ON A STATE HIGHWAY. THE HIGHWAY IS A 2-LANE ASPHALT ROADWAY, WITH A NORTHBOUND RIGHT CURVE AT THE COLLISION SITE. THERE IS A NEGATIVE SUPER-ELEVATION FROM WEST TO EAST. THE ROADWAY IS POSTED 55 MPH. DEFINITIVE MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN COMPLETED. HOWEVER, IT IS BELIEVED THE CHRYSLER WAS TRAVELING NEAR THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE CHRYSLER WAS OCCUPIED BY FOUR ADULTS, OVER 50 YEARS OF AGE. THE DRIVER, A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, AND TWO REAR SEAT PASSENGERS. A 1997 FORD TAURUS WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON THE SAME STATE HIGHWAY, APPROACHING THE CHRYSLER 300C. THE FORD WAS OCCUPIED BY TWO MALES, AGE 16 AND 19. A DRIVER, AND A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THE FORD WAS TRAVELING IN THE CURVE, WHICH IS A LEFT HAND CURVE SOUTH BOUND. THE FORD, BELIEVED TO BE IN EXCESS OF THE POSTED 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT, WENT INTO A COUNTER-CLOCKWISE YAW, CROSSED THE CENTERLINE, AND LATERALLY IMPACTED THE FRONT OF THE CHRYSLER 300C. THE OCCUPANTS OF THE FORD DIED IN THE CRASH. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT CRUSH TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FORD. THE B-PILLARS ARE APPROXIMATELY 21.5 INCHES APART, AS MEASURED INSIDE TO INSIDE. THE CHRYSLER 300C PASSENGER SIDE REAR OCCUPANT ALSO DIED IN THE CRASH. THERE IS EVIDENCE OF SEAT BELT USE BY THIS OCCUPANT. THE LATCH PLATE AND BUCKLE AT THE PASSENGER REAR SEATING POSITION OF THE CHRYSLER FAILED. THE BUCKLE IS PARTIALLY DISASSEMBLED, AND THE LATCH PLATE BROKE WHERE THE WEBBING FEEDS THROUGH THE LATCH PLATE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THE PRE-TENSIONERS FIRED, OR LOCKED THE SEAT BELTS AT ANY POSITION. THERE IS DEFORMATION TO THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE SIX O'CLOCK POSITION. ALL SEAT BELTS MOVE FREELY WITHIN THE RETRACTORS. MY INVESTIGATION IS STILL ONGOING. I DO NOT WANT TO BE PREMATURE IN MAKING THIS COMPLAINT. CONVERSELY, I DO NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IF THERE IS A SEAT BELT DEFECT. WITH KINDEST REGARD, ERIC F. NAUGLE #157 GLYNN COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTAR #1258. *JB
THE CAR I AM WRITING ABOUT IS A CHRYSLER 300C. THAT CAR IS NOT AN OPTION IN THE SELECTION. MY 300C IS EQUIPPED WITH FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS. WHEN THE CAR WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY A GMC JIMMY THE FRONT BAGS DEPLOYED BUT THE SIDE ONES DID NOT. SHOULDN'T THE SIDE BAGS HAVE OPENED AS WELL? THAT IS MY CONCERN. *JB

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 THERE HAS BEEN A RECURRING AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE. I HAD THE SEAT SENSOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR BACK SEVERAL TIMES, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD BEEN FIXED AND THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER AND VOICED MY CONCERN OVER THIS ISSUE. I STATED THAT I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF THE CAR IS IN AN ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER BASICALLY TOLD US THAT THE SENSOR HAD BEEN REPLACED SO THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. I TOLD THEM THAT IF I WAS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, I WOULD FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WHY IS THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING ADDRESSED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS SERIOUSLY HURT! *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE WORN PREMATURELY, ALTHOUGH THEY WERE SERVICED PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, HOWEVER NO CAUSE WAS FOUND FOR THE PROBLEM. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE TIRE LINE IS 225/60R18. UPDATED 6/16/2006 - THE TIRE WERE ROTATED EVERY 6000 MILES. ALL FOUR RIMS WERE PITTING AND COMING APART. *NM
I BOUGHT A NEW CHRYSLER 300C IN THE SPRING OF 2005. AFTER 13,000 MILES, I AM TOLD THE TIRES ARE BAD AND I AM BEING TOLD I HAVE TO BUY FOUR MORE TIRES. I AM NOT AWARE THAT THEY ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES AND AM BEING TOLD THAT CONTINENTAL WILL NOT COVER THE NEW TIRES. *JB
I DRIVE A CHRYSLER 300C, WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR I FELT THE CAR VEERING TO THE RIGHT. WELL I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND I ALSO NEEDED TO HAVE MY WHEEL ROTATED. WELL I DID THAT AND STILL I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED ANOTHER WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND MY WHEELS NEEDED TO BE ROTATED I DID ALL OF THAT AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY HORN NOT BLOWING WHEN THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING. I FIND ALL OF THE ABOVE COMPLAINTS TO HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS TO MYSELF, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE TRIED CALLING THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS AND HAVE YET A RECEIVE A RESPONSE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK IN THE DEPRESSED POSITION WHICH RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE CHASSIS OF BOTH VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE DID NOT DEPLOY. IT WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ALSO, THE VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOVING STRAIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SERVICE DEALER WHERE THE TIRES WERE ROTATED. SHORTLY AFTER THE TIRE ROTATION, THE TREAD BECAME COMPLETELY WORN. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THE SUSPENSION WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES. THE DEALER PERFORMED DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON THE VEHICLE AFTER FOUR TIMES THE DEALER IS STILL UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP A FIFTH TIME. THIS TIME A FLIGHT RECORDER WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED.
GETTING READY TO GO TO A BASKETBALL GAME AND AT THE STOP SIGN YARDS FROM OUR HOME THE INSIDE OF THE CAR WENT BLACK THEN THE LIGHTS FLICKERED AND WENT BLACK AGAIN. THE CAR THEN STARTING SMOKING FROM BEHIND THE CAR DASH. WE MANAGED TO PUSH THE CAR BACK INTO THE CARPORT BUT WE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY A 2005 MODEL WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO WE GOT ON THE INTERNET STARTED SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS AND CAME UPON A RECALL THAT INVOLVED ELECTRICAL WIRING PROBLEM THAT IF NOT FIXED IT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE DASH AND CAUSE A FIRE. AT THE TIME I HAD A SEVEN YEAR OLD IN THE CAR AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IF WE HEADED OUT ANY FURTHER AND THEN THE CAR BROKE DOWN. *JB

HAD TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS FOR SERVICE. TOLD BY DEALERSHIP (DODGE COUNTRY, TX) THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR WHICH IS A PART OF THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OPERATIVE AND WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF THE AIR BAGS ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOYS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE PARKED UNTIL 12-30-05 CLOCK SPRING REPLACED A SECOND TIME. 1-18-06 REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN 50% OF THE TIME. LOUD SQUEAKING AND RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE.

2005 CHRYSLER 300 C HAS A DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF STALLING SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP OF VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, CLEAN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBERS, AND REPLACE THE MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR; PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. AFTER THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OF STALLING I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I TOOK A VIDEO OF THE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AS THE DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SHOWN THE DEALERSHIP THE VIDEO OF THE STALL / NON-START ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000 MILES. *JB
THIS IS MY SECOND NEW CHRYSLER 300 PASSENGER VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO THE REVERSE POSITION. ONCE, YOU START TO BACK-UP THE CAR CUTS OFF. THE FIRST CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND EXCHANGED FOR A SECOND NEW CHRYSLER 300. THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS. THE DEALERS MECHANIC SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE "THROTTLE". I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, BECAUSE IF IT CONTINUES TO CUT OFF -- ANOTHER CAR MAY HIT ME AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *JB
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT ALIGNMENT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ,WHERE A FRONT ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER OFFERED TO CHANGE SOME NON SPECIFIC BOLTS AND THE SHIM IN AN EFFORT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT SUSPENSION, BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THIS WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN ALIGNMENT SPECIALIST SHOP, WHERE IT WAS ALIGNED TO MEET FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. HOWEVER, A TEST DRIVE BY THE REPAIR SHOP PERSONNEL CONFIRMED THE CONTACT'S INITIAL COMPLAINT OF A RIGHT LEAD. AFTER THE TEST DRIVE THE REPAIR SHOP PERSONNEL ALERTED THE CONTACT OF A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NHTSA 10013692 REGARDING A REVISION OF THE ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE RIGHT LEAD PROBLEM. *AK
TIRES ON CHRYSLER 300C NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 15,000 MILES. TIRE IS CONTINENTAL CONTITOURING CONTACT CH95. MAY BE SAFETY ISSUE AS CONSUMERS ARE NOT EXPECTING TO REPLACE TIRES SO EARLY. CONTINENTAL SAYS TIRES NOT COVERED UNTIL CONSUMER REPLACES THEM, AND CHRYSLER DID NOT DISCLOSE THESE ARE VERY HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 15,000-20,000 AND SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING EITHER. THIS MAY ALSO BE A PROBLEM ON THE DODGE CHARGER AND MAGNUM ALSO. VERY PLEASED WITH THE CAR, BUT NOT WITH TIRE WEAR AND POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. *JB
I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI. THREE MONTHS AGO, I PUT UNLEADED 87 OCTANE GASOLINE IN THE TANK. I DROVE A FEW BLOCKS AND THE ENGINE STOPPED SUDDENLY IN MID-DRIVE. I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME RESTARTING THE CAR AND WHEN I DID, IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD ENGAGE IN GEAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK, AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE ENGINE COMPUTERS HAVE TO REAJUST TO THE LOWER OCTANE. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE ONLY PUT MID-OCTANE (89 OCTANE). WHENEVER I ALLOW THE TANK TO BE LOWER THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK AND I REFILL WITH 89 IT STILL STALLS IN MID-DRIVE AND HARD TO START WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING IMMEDIATELY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CAR WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *JB

THE CONTACT STATED BECAUSE THEY WERE SELF SEALING TIRES THE MATERIAL INSIDE CLUMPED UP BECAUSE OF THE COLD WEATHER. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER TOLD HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. AS A RESULT, THE PRESSURE FROM BEING STRAPPED DOWN DURING TOWING CAUSED THE UPPER CONTROL ARM BUSHING TO POP OUT. ALSO, THE TIE ROD END ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONTACT TO GET THOSE REPAIRED BEFORE THEY COULD ADDRESS THE TIRE PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD MY REAR VIEW MIRROR REPLACED BECAUSE THE SENSOR WENT, SUNROOF REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES, PASSENGER WINDOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE SOMETIME INOPERABLE, INTERIOR LIGHTS COME IN WHEN YOU LOCK, CAR HAS CUT OFF EXITING A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND JUST WAITING, STEERING WHEEL SHAKING AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT, AIR BAG PASSENGER LIGHT COME ON,HAS BEEN TO TWO DEALERSHIP, NOTIFIED MAN VIA PHONE AND E-MAIL--HAD TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR NEW CAR LEMON. *JB
DT: THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AT 50-55 MPH AND WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK WHATSOEVER. THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS, THE CONSUMER DID NOT FEEL THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN. THIS RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE BRAKES NEVER ACTIVATED. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY INCIDENT WITH THE BRAKES. NO PREVIOUS BRAKE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MODERATE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND EXAMINED IT. A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE CAME AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE REPRESENTATIVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THE DEALER DID NOT PERFORM ANY REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS TO THE BRAKES. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED CHRYSLER, AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS, AND THAT THE CONSUMER COULD HIRE A LAWYER. THE CONSUMER DID NOT WISH TO HIRE A LAWYER BUT ONLY WANTED HIS FAMILY TO BE SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. *AK
SEAT/MIRRORS, PEDAL,RADIO & STEERING COLUMN REMOTE MEMORY SETTINGS DO NOT OPERATED WHEN PRESSING THE OPEN BUTTON ON KEY. DOES WORK WHEN USING BUTTONS ON LEFT DOOR. DEALER UNABLE TO REPAIR. DEALER CONTACTED MFG REP. STILL UNABLE TO REPAIR. DEALER REP SAID THEY CHECKED MEMORY SETTINGS ON FOUR OTHER NEW VEHICLES IN STOCK. MEMORY WOULD NOT WORK ON ANY MODEL 300 VEHICLES. *JB
2005 CHRYSLER 300C - 2 ISSUES 1) HORN IS DIFFICULT TO ACTIVATE. THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL IS DIFFICULT TO PRESS, AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT SOUND THE HORN. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. 2) HORN DOES NOT OPERATE WHILE THE CAR IS OFF. THIS IS A DESIGN FEATURE (FLAW, IN MY OPINION), WHICH MAY NOT BE A SAFETY ITEM, BUT MAY BE RELATED TO ITEM #1.*JB
DT: THE CALLER SAID THE TIRES WERE WEARING OUT TOO SOON. THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED IN LIGHT RAIN. HE SAID THE FRONT TIRES ARE AT 3/32, AND THE REAR ARE AT 4/32 ON THE TIRE MEASUREMENT. THERE IS ONLY 18,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE CALLER SAID THAT HE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID TO GET IN TOUCH WITH SEARS WHO IN TURN GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD GIVE THE CALLER A DISCOUNT IF HE BROUGHT ANOTHER SET OF TIRES. *AK *MR
THE CAR NEVER SEEMS TO HOLD AN ALIGNMENT. IT GIVES THE FEELING THAT IT WANTS TO DRIFT OVER THE ROAD (BEYOND THE GEOMETRY OF THE ROAD.) AND SOMETIMES SUSPENSION SHUDDERS OVER TRANSITION JOINTS IN ROADS. *JB
DT: THE ALIGNMENT WAS OFF ON THIS VEHICLE AND CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE TIRES. THIS OCCURRED ON ALL TIRES, HOWEVER, THE DRIVER'S LEFT DT: FRONT TIRE WAS SHOWING THE WEAR INDICATORS. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 16,000 MILES ON IT, AND WAS DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY ROADS. CALLED DEALER, WHO SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM, IT WAS THE TIRES AND NOT COVERED BRAND ON THE CAR. NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. CONSUMER TOOK TO A TIRE SHOP DEALER WHO NOTED THIS WAS NOT A TIRE PROBLEM BUT AN ISSUE WITH THE ALIGNMENT. THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ALIGNMENT AS WELL. NO NOTICEABLE PULLING OR STEERING ON THE VEHICLE WITH THE ALIGNMENT ONLY THE WEAR ON THE TIRES. THIS TIRES WERE THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON THE VEHICLE, BUT CONSUMER BELIEVED THIS WAS AGAIN A PROBLEM WITH ALIGNMENT. *AK
4/04 MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER 300C AT RIVERFRONT CHRYSLER, WE REPORTED TO THEM ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE CAR STALLS OUT WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, DEALER CLAIMS IT WAS A HOSE CAUSING STALL, WHEN CAR STALLED AGAIN DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS CONTROL MODULE WHEN CAR STALL AGAIN DEALER CLAIM TO SEE NO DUPLICATING PROBLEM THIS HAS BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH FOR MONTHS NOW OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING THE HORN DON'T BLOW ALL THE TIME THE BACK DRIVER WINDOW DON'T ALWAYS WORK, PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON, DRIVER DOOR MISALIGNED CAR BRAKES AND TIRES ARE GIVING US PROBLEMS. *JB
DT: THERE WAS A COMPLAINT FILED ON THIS VEHICLE ODI 10125270 CONCERNING THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND OUT IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING, AND THEY HAVE REPLACED IT 3 TIMES , BUT IT KEPT FAILING. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS INFERIOR WIRES USED ON THE WIRE HARNESS. DEALER WAS TO REPLACE ENTIRE WIRE HARNESS UNDER DASH BOARD. THERE WAS GOING TO BE A WEEK OR TWO DELAY IN GETTING THE PARTS. THEN THERE WAS CONCERN THAT IF THERE WAS INFERIOR INSULATION INVOLVED WITH THE WIRE HARNESS THIS COULD CAUSE SEVERE PROBLEMS SUCH AS A FIRE. *AK *JB THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE FILLED THROUGH THE FUEL PIPE TO THE GASOLINE TANK AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS STUCK ON FULL. UPON EXAMINATION BY THE DEALER, IT WAS FOUND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TAKE ANY GAS. THE DEALER DECIDED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A KIT TO BE PLACED ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. *JB
(1) WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT THE ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY VIBRATES AND RUNS ROUGH FOR A FEW SECONDS AND ALMOST STALLS THEN IDLES NORMALLY. ALSO SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL STALL OUT WHEN DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER DID A COMPUTER MODIFICATION #489614A1 BUT CONDITION PERSISTS. (2) AIR CONDITIONING.

(3) WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN FROM 12 MPH TO 3 MPH WHETHER IN DRIVE OR NEUTRAL WITH OR WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES THERE IS A VIBRATION AND WHINE NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT THRU THE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS FROM THE TIRES AND ROTATED AND BALANCED THEM SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONDITION STILL PERSISTS.
DT: IT FELT LIKE THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE WAS A SAFETY DEFFECT. TOOK VEHICLE TO 3 DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WERE FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THERE WERE BLIND SPOTS WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT TO THE HEAD REST ON PASSENGERS SEAT ONE COULD NOT SEE THE PASSENGERS SIDE WINDOW. NOTICED THIS THE FIRST WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. *AK
DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART, VEHICLE WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON AUGUST 10, 2005.

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT ON JULY 22, 2005 WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FRONT END WAS DAMAGED, LIGHTS AND RADIATOR WERE PUSHED INTO THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE, AND WAS WEARING SEAT BELTS. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ON PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES. . THE ACCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE POLICE AND THE POLICE DID COMMENT ABOUT THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THERE WAS PROPERTY DAMAGE IN EXCESS OF $8000. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. WHEN HE CONTACTED THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING MONDAY THE DEALER TOLD THE CONTACT THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. HE CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION. CHRSYLER DID SENT AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR. HE RECEIVED TWO LETTERS, ONE STATED THAT THEY WHERE NOTIFIED, AND THE SECOND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH DAMAGE TO THE CAR, AND THAT THE CONCLUSION WAS THE COMPUTER BECAUSE IT DISCLOSED NO CODES. THIS WAS THE SECOND CAR OF THIS MODEL THAT HE OWNED. THE FIRST CAR HAVD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATING, BUT AT THE DEALERSHIP IT DISPLAYED NO CODES. *AK
TRANSMISSION FAILURE, A/C FAILURE, AM/FM STEREO CD PLAYER FAILURE, SEAT BELT/AIRBAG SENSOR FAILURE. *JB
DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CAR SITS TOO LOW ON THE GROUND. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ALTER THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM THIS IS JUST THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE. WHILE GETTING OFF OF A TURN PIKE THERE WAS A TURTLE COMING ACROSS THE ROAD BUT IT WAS BETWEEN THE TIRES AND THE BOTTOM OF HIS CAR, THE VEHICLE SCRAPPED OVER THE TURTLE. AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IT WAS RAINING THE CONSUMER WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE THE CAR IN FRONT RAN OVER SOMETHING AND HE HIT IT AND IT WEDGED UNDER HIS CAR HE COULD NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT HE HAD TO DRIVE A QUARTER MILE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND HE COULD NOT GET UNDER THE CAR SO HE HIT IT WITH A GOLF CLUB AND LATER FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A HARD HAT THAT GOT STUCK. *JB
2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING PURCHASED ON 11/4/2004 BEGAN MAKING A LOUD MOANING, STRAINING NOISE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING IS TURNED ON, THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE. THERE IS ALSO A VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATING SENSATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE. DURING A/C USE, THE ENGINE HAS AN IRREGULAR IDLE TO AN ALMOST STALL WHEN MAKING TURNS DURING BACKING AND FORWARD MOVEMENT OF VEHICLE AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. TOOK IT TO DEALER IN SAN DIEGO, CA AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOTICE THIS STRANGE, ONGOING PROGRESSIVE CONDITION BUT SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN NO MANUFACTURER RECALL. THIS CONDITION IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. I THOUGHT MY VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS VERY ANNOYING CONDITION UNTIL I READ AN ALMOST IDENTICAL COMPLAINT FROM A CONSUMER IN MO. *NM
2005 CHRYSLER 300M/C, ENGINE FAILS AFTER GASOLINE TANK IS FILLED. HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 30 DAYS. DEALER STATES THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. CAR HAS PRESENTLY BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR MORE THAN A WEEK, AND THEY ADVISED THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACED THE GAS TANK.
DT: CONTACT PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED EDITION SEDAN ON 7-27-05. HE DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY HIS WIFE PARKED VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT WHERE SHE WORKED. 30 MINUTES LATER, THE MANAGER OF THE BUILDING CALLED CONTACT WIFE'S OFFICE INFORMING HER THERE WAS A CAR ON FIRE IN THE PARKING LOT. FLAMES CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE CAR WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER PURCHASING IT. THE CAR PARKED NEXT TO CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED, AS WELL AS 2 OR 3 OTHER CARS WERE DAMAGED. HE CONTACTED DAIMLER/CHRYSLER, AND THEY WERE GOING TO SEND SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THE CAR. THE DEALER AGREED TO GIVE CONTACT A LOANER VEHICLE. CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DEFECT WITHIN THE CAR PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT. CONTACT HAD PICTURES OF THE CAR. HE SAID THAT DEALER INSTALLED A PASSIVE ALARM SYSTEM WITH AN IGNITION KILL, A REMOTE START FEATURE, COULD START THE CAR WITHOUT THE KEY. A LO-JACK ANTI THEFT SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED. ALSO, THE CAR INCLUDED A NAVIGATION SYSTEM, POWER ADJUSTED GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS, SELF SEALING TIRES, AND SIDE/CURTAIN AIR BAGS . HE PURCHASED A AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 7 YEARS,100,00 MILES BUMPER TO BUMPER. *AK
DT: CONSUMER PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. AT 3,500 MILES THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE SIDEWALL. THE JACK THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH THE VEHICLE DID NOT HOLD IT. DEALERSHIP STATED THE TIRES WERE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE TIRE DEALER STATED IT WOULD HAVE TO BE INVESTIGATED, AND IF IT WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZARD, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THERE WERE NO HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL THE TIRE BLEW OUT. THEN, IT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. THIS WAS A BBRIDGESTONE TIRE WHICH CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. *AK
DT: CONTACT WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE INSPECTION DONE AND THE CAR. HOWEVER,IT DID NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THEIR CONDITION. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE OWNER'S MANUAL ADVISED THE ROTATION TIRES EVERY 3,000 MILES UP TO 72 MONTHS. SHE HAS DONE THAT, BUT THE TIRES WERE WORN OUT. SHE CALLED CONTINENTAL TO GET THE TIRES FROM THE WAREHOUSE. THE WARE HOUSE DID NOT HAVE ANY OF THE CONTINENTAL, CONTOURS PLUS TIRES. SHE PLACED AN ORDER FOR NEW TIRES, BUT IT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY WILL BE IN. SHE TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT CONTINENTAL, AND HE TOLD HER THE TIRES WERE GOOD UNTIL 60,000 MILES. HER CAR HAD 20,000 MILES. SHE FELT THAT PEOPLE WERE BEING MISLEAD BY OWNER'S MANUAL AS TO HOW LONG TIRES WILL LAST.*AK
SOMETIMES, MY '300 TOURING' (3.5 LITER HO V6) JUST 'LUNGES' FORWARD WHILE I'M STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (ABOUT EIGHT TIMES NOW) WHETHER MY CAR IS 'COLD' AND/OR AFTER IT HAS 'WARMED-UP' FOR A WHILE. SOMETIMES, EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FIRMLY DEPRESSED, IT'LL STILL 'LUNGE' FORWARD...FEELING AS IF MY CAR WILL FLY RIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. ON 04/04/05, WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER CAR, MY CAR 'LUNGED' FORWARD ONCE AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME CAUSING ME TO REAR-END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME...CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR, AS WELL AS TO THE REAR OF THE OTHER. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, I WAS ACTUALLY ENROUTE TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER TO HAVE A 'RECALL NOTICE' TAKEN CARE OF (FOR INAPPROPRIATE GAUGE CLUSTER READINGS). PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, I HAD ADVISED MY DEALER ABOUT THE POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR'S COMPLICATED ELECTRONICS/COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS IN FACT ACTUALLY JUST TRYING TO GET ACCUSTOMED TO THE WAY THAT I DRIVE, AND THAT IT WOULD ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. ON THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT AND DURING SUBSEQUENT VISITS, I ALSO HAD MY DEALER TRY TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF AND RECTIFY THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM; HOWEVER, EACH TIME, I WAS ADVISED THAT EITHER THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOR HAVE THEY HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. I HAVE READ ON SOME CHRYSLER 300 INTERNET FORUMS, THAT SOME OTHERS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM, SO, I'M NOW SURE THAT MY PROBLEM ISN'T JUST A UNIQUE INCIDENT AFTER ALL. IF ANYTHING, I WOULD AT LEAST LIKE TO RETRIEVE PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED DOCUMENTATION FROM CHRYSLER IDENTIFYING THE ACTUAL EXISTENCE OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM, SO THAT I CAN PRESENT THIS DOCUMENTATION TO MY AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY. THIS INCIDENT HAS NOW TARNISHED MY PERFECT DRIVING RECORD, AS WELL AS ALSO FORCED ME TO NOW PAY A HIGHER INSURANCE PREMIUM.
DAY AFTER PURCHASE NOTICED LOAD ROAR AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING WHEN THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE AIR CONDITION KICKED ON AND OFF, CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO KEEP DRIVING MAYBE IT WILL WORK ITSELF OUT, MAYBE A KINK. I AM NOW ON MY FOURTH VISIT AND THE PROBLEM IS PROGRESSING. THE VEHICLE NOW STUTTERS AND ALMOST DIES EACH TIME THE COMPRESSOR KICKS ON AND OFF. THE DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN CRYSTAL CITY, MO IS STILL FIGURING OUT HOW TO HANDLE THE PROBLEM, WHICH STARTED THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE.
FAILURE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, AND WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. *NM
DT: CONTACT STATES HE BOUGHT A NEW 2005 CHRYSLER 300 M TOURING ON APPROXIMATELY 1-04. ON 6-23-05 HE TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER WHERE HE BOUGHT IT;(SPARSEST CHRYSLER) TO LET THEM FIX A PROBLEM HE WAS HAVING WITH THE BUTTON THAT ALLOWS HIM TO SEE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE THE CAR AND ALSO ALLOWS HIM TO SEE THE MILEAGE HE HAS DRIVEN. THE BUTTON WOULD NOT WORK; SO HE ASKED THE DEALER TO FIX IT. ON THE SAME DAY, HE GOT THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER AND HE NOTICED IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING BUT AFTER A WHILE IT DID START TO WORK. ON 7-13-05 WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN HIS GARAGE, THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. HE IS NOT SURE WHERE THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM BUT HE DID SAY THE CAR HAS A BIG HOLE IN THE DASH. HE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD HIM THEY WOULD HAVE TO INVESTIGATE IT. HIS INSURANCE ADJUSTER HAS LOOKED AT IT AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THE ADJUSTER ALSO GAVE HIM A RECALL #04V334000 .THE RECALL APPLIES TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; BATTERY CABLES. THE DEALER DENIED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THE FIRE.*AK
WHEELS ON CHRYSLER 300C ARE CORRODING AND PROTECTIVE COATING IS PEELING. DAIMLER CHRYSLER ADMITS PROBLEM BUT BELIEVES IT RELATED TO CORROSIVE CARWASHES DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WASH MY CAR WITH WATER. AS CORROSION CONTINUES IT WILL LIKELY COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE WHEELS.
DT: CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE IS A SAFETY DEFECT IN THE AIR BAG DISBURSEMENT MECHANISM. THE CLOCK SPRING HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES, AND THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THE LIGHT BEING ON CAUSES THE AIRBAGS NOT TO WORK. THE WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON EVERY TIME THE CLOCK SPRING HAS BEEN REPLACED.*AK THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE UNDER WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE MATERIAL WAS OF POOR QUALITY. *JB
LEADS TO THE RIGHT. APPEARS TO BE UNCORRECTABLE?
2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING. EACH TIME THE DRIVE SHAFT ENGAGES THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE REAREND. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASED, 4/19/04...
2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING SEDAN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH NO OPERATOR ACTION WHILE TRAVELING FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS ACCIDENTS EXIST IF THIS IS A GENERIC PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR.
THE RIM OF MY CHRYSLER 300C CAR HAS CRACKED WITH NO APPARENT IMPACT. THE CRACK THEN MAKES THE TIRE LOSE PRESSURE. THIS HAPPENED NOT ON ONLY 1 WHEEL BUT ON 2 WHEELS AT 2 DIFFERENT TIMES. HAD TO REPLACE THE RIMS BOTH TIMES.
PLEASE SEE MY DETAILED LETTER WITH MY FAX
MY CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THIS IN TO THE DEALER THREE OR FOUR TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ALL OF THE 2005 300S DO THAT. IF I WANT TO SEE IF AN ALIGNMENT WILL CORRECT IT, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF.
THE FLOORS IN THE FRONT ARE NOT SOLID UNDERNEATH THE CARPET. THERE'S NO "BOTTOM". THERE'S 7" OF SPACE BETWEEN THE CARPET AND THE BODY OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT'S THE WAY THE CAR WAS MADE AND THEY ARE NOT SURE OF WHY IT WAS DESIGNED LIKE THAT.
MY CAR STALLS WHEN TURNING LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART IT. JUST MINUTES LATER I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND TURNING LEFT AND THE CAR STALLED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND SENT ME AWAY.
DT: CONTACT STATES VEHICLE IS STALLING WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO A SERVICE DEALER ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BUT HAS YET TO FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK
DT: THE CAR HAS BEEN IN REPAIR SHOP 7 TIMES FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEING ON. DEALER CLAIMED AIR BAG LIGHT WAS FIXED. BUT AS SOON AS THE CONSUMER LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. DEALERSHIP KEEPS PUTTING THE CONSUMER ON HOLD, AND WILL NOT CALL BACK. IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS TILTED THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. OWNER HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SINCE HE BOUGHT IT.

DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCER. STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WITH TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, STEERING AND BRAKES.
CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AUG. 2004, AND HAS BEEN PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND RIDING LIKE A SMALL PICKUP TRUCK[ ROUGH ] EVER SINCE AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. HAS BEEN ALIGNED 3TIMES, ONCE BY A NON CHRYSLER SHOP IT HAS BEEN CHECKED BY A MFG. AREA DISTICT SERV. MGR AND A CHRYSLER ENGINEER BOTH WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEGE THE PROBLEM FULLY TTHIS CONDITION MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND UNSAFE TO OPERATE IN THE RAIN AND SNOW . CHRYSLER SEEMS UNWILLING AND/OR UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM . ARE WE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THESE DEFECTS?
THE VEHICLEWAS BROUGHT TO FREEHOLD CHRYSLER FOR SERVICE FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, HESITATION, LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE MOLDING COMING OFF, TRUNK LATCH BROKEN AND CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT. FREEHOLD CHRYSLER STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS AND FOUND NO CODES AND THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS DONE AT A COST TO ME OF $95.00,MOLDING AND TRUNK LATCH WAS REPLACED. WE THEN BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AGAIN FOR PULLING TO THE RIGHT ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER AND AGAIN THE TOLD US IT WAS FIXED.THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PULLING AS MUCH BUT STILL WAS. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE CAR WAS RED LINING, NOT SHIFTING AND STALLING ON HER. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO EATONTOWN CHRYSLER IN WHICH THEY FOUND A TRANSMISSION SOLENOID TO BE BAD AND REPLACED IT. WE THEN STARTED TO EXPERIENCE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS REAR WINDOW NOT WORKING ALL THE TIME AND AIR BAG LIGHT SOMETIMES FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AND AGAIN HESITATION WHEN STATING FROM STOP. ALSO THE MOON ROOF INTERIOR SHADE OPENS TO ABOUT AN INCH AFTER DRIVING TO VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. WE CONTACTED FREEHOLD CHRYSLER ABOUT THESE PROBLEM AND THE PREVIOUS WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MAY 3, 2005. NOW ITS MAY 8TH AND WE HAVE APPROX. 20,000 ON THE VEHICLE AND WE ARE BEING TOLD THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED BASED ON A SERVICE BULLETIN AND AT NO COST TO US, EVEN THOUGH WE PAID $95.00 ORIGINALLY, AND THE REST OF THE PROBLEMS CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORP. SERVICE CENTER AT 18009921997 AND SPOKE TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE IN REFERENCE TO THESE PROBLEMS AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT THEY COULD DO.
WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 WITH THE HEMI MOTOR THRU MY SUBDIVISION AT 25MI PER HOUR THE RACK-N-PINION BROKE AND THE STABILIZER BAR BROKE, CAUSING A BADLY BENT RIM, THAT CAUSED THE BOLTS UNDER THE CAR TO BECOME SHEARED OFF, CAUSING A ACCIDENT. JUST AND FYI I PURCHASED THE CAR 12/04 AND THE PARTS BROKE OFF ON 3/19/2005
CUPPING OF FRONT TIRES ON 2005 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED AT 11,000 MILES -- CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS BECAUSE OF LACK OF TIRE ROTATION EVERY 3,000 MILES. I ROTATED A TIRES T 6,000 MILES. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO CUPPING ON REAR TIRES. THEY NOT REPLACED, PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED/CORRECTED.*AK
THIS VEHICLE (AS I UNDERSTAND, THIS AND MAY OTHERS) IS EXPERIENCING A PULL TO RIGHT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAS HAD THE TSB (CAMB. BOLT) PERFORMED 2 TIMES. PURCHASED THIS CAR IN AUGUST AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM RIGHT FROM THE BEGINING...NOW WE ARE AT THE END OF APRIL AND IT IS NOT FIXED. WE HAVE HAD ALL TIRES REPLACED FOR WEAR (AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ALIGNMENT) THIS VEHICLE'S PRODUCTION DATE IS VERY EARLY. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER HAS SINCE FIXED THE PROBLEM ON NEWER 300'S BEING PRODUCED....BUT CAN SEEM TO FIX THE OLDER ONES. AT THIS POINT I AM QUESTIONING WHETHER THIS CAN BE REPAIRED.*AK
THE NEW 300'S ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE PEDAL TO SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SITS TOO CLOSE TO THE DOOR OPENING. WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED IF YOU TOUCH, BRUSH OR NUDGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL IT SETS THE SENSOR AS IF THE BRAKE HAS BEEN SET. THE MANUFACTORER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS OF YET, THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE BRAKE AND THAT THE SENSOR IS VERY TOUCHY. AT THIS POINT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR 3 TIMES. THEY CAN NOT BE SURE IF THE VEHICLE WILL REACT IN ANYWAY WHILE DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENS SINCE THE SENSOR IS TELLING THE BRAIN THAT THE BRAKE IS SET.*AK
I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 MADE IN AUGUST OF 2004. IT HAS AN ISSUE, AS MANY OF THESE AND DODGE MAGNUMS DO, WITH PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO! MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS! MY CAR KEEP SWIRVING RIGHT AND I KEEP HAVING TO PULL IT BACK. THE DEALER KEEPS GIVING MY EXCUSES AND CHRYSLER IS DENYING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY REAL PROBLEM! IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON APRIL 2ND, 2005!*AK
AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON OCCASSIOALLY.
2005 CHRYSLER 300 EXPERIENCING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH STEERING.*MR DURING THE SUB ZERO TEMPERATURES THIS WINTER, THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING WOULD FREEZE.

MY CHRYSLER 300 HAS 7000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR A FRONT END ALIGNMENT PROBLEM,CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT SHOP SAYS IT IS SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE CROWN IN THE ROAD ( I WAS BORN AT NIGHT BUT NOT LAST NIGHT ) COME ON CHRYSLER YOU CAN COME UP WITH A BETTER EXCUSE THAN THAT. THIS IS A RECALL PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THIS. ALL DEALERS ARE BEING TOLD TO USE THIS EXCUSE ,ABOUT THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE CROWN OR IT IS A HECK OF A COINCEDENCE THAT THIS COMPLAINT KEEPS COMING UP.*AK
CONSUMER SEVERELY BURNED BY SEAT HEATER IN CHRYSLER 300C 2005. *BF THE CONSUMER IS A PARAPLEGIC AND COULD NOT FEEL THE SEAT HEATER WHEN IT WAS INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATED. LAWYER ON BEHALF OF CONSUMER *JB
WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK UPDATED 12/14/2005. THE SUNROOF SHATTERED WHEN THE CONSUMER CLOSED HIS DOOR. THE DEALER CLAIMED THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE GLASS WAS BINDING IN THE TRACK. THE HEADLINER WAS COMING DOWN IN THE REAR. . *NM
SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED WE HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS PLUS A RECURRENT AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WHICH IS LEASED AND USED BY OUR MAYOR HAS BEEN BACK FOR THE SAME AIR BAG LIGHT A MINIMUM OF 8 TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY AT THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE EVEN TAKEN IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WITH THE SAME RESULTS.THIS VEHICLE IS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. *AK

2005 CHRYSLER 300C/DODGE MAGNUM, HORN BUTTON IN STEERING WHEEL DIFFICULT TO OPERATE ESPECIALLY IN EMERGENCY CONDITIONS. HORN ALSO DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT KEY IN AND ENGINE RUNNING.*AK
THE HORN BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY 2005 CHRYLER 300C REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE IN ORDER TO OPERATE. DURING SEVERAL "EVENTS" OVER THE FEW MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OPERATE THE HORN ON THE FIRST PRESS OF THE BUTTON. IT IS SIMPLY USELESS AS A TIMELY WARNING DEVICE. *AK
THE HORN IS VERY HARD TO BLOW, AND WHEN THE KEY IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE THE HORN WON'T BLOW AT ALL. . CONSUMER IS CONCERNED IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY HE CANNOT USE THE HORN TO GET HELP.*AK.....THE THICK VINYL/RUBBER HORN PAD HAS SEVERAL AREAS WHERE THE HORN DOES NOT BLOW. ESSENTIALLY, THERE ARE ONLY TWO SPOTS ON THE ENTIR EPAD WHERE THE HORN ACTIVATES. IT IS POORLY DESIGNED. *AK
HORN REQUIRES EXTENSIVE PRESSURE TO OPERATE IN "KEY" LOCATIONS ON STEERING WHEEL. OFTEN, HORN DOES NOT OPERATE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. THIS IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE 1995 CHEVY IMPALA SS HORN PROBLEM DUE TO AIRBAG PLACEMENT IN THE STEERING WHEEL.

I PURCHASED A NEW CHRYSLER 300 ON 11/03/04 AND EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY WITH THE VEHICLES LIGHTS BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR. CALLED GROGAN DEALERSHIP ON 11/9/04 TO ISSUE THE COMPLAINT. WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE SHOP AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 11/30/04 AND WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 12/02/04 WITH AN INVOICE STATING THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS SINCE THEN ABOUT THE SAFETY CONCERN RELATED TO THIS VEHICLES LIGHTS FLICKERING CONTINUOUSLY. THEN ON 12/17/04 THE VEHICLES LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH AN INJURY. THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN AN INJURY AND SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR INDIVIDUALS IN THE VEHICLE AND ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND THE DEALERSHIP AND NEITHER ARE OWNING UP TO THE SAFETY CONCERN. NEGLECT IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND HAVE BEEN BLESSED THAT THEY WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS FROM SOMEONE'S NEGLECT. AS I CAN SEE FROM THIS WEBSITE THAT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY MORE THAT JUST HAVEN'T SURFACED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE IS SITTING AT A TOWING LOT AND NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR CHRYSLER HAVE TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE TOWED AND WORKED ON FOR CORRECTION. MEANWHILE, I AM SITTING WITHOUT A VEHICLE. ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME, WE NEED TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *JB
MY CHRYSLER 300 HAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR A FRONT ALIGNMENT PROBLEM, CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT. DURING FIRST VISIT I WAS TOLD ALIGNMENT CHECKS OK, THEY ALL PULL TO THE RIGHT. DURING SECOND VISIT DEALER INSTALLED CHRYSLER BULLETIN (OFF SET BOLTS) TO CORRECT LEFT LEAD PROBLEM. ALIGNMENT IMPROVED BUT STILL PULLS TO RIGHT. DURING THIRD VISIT DEALER TOLD ME EVERTHING CHECKS OK NOTHING ELSE CAN BE DONE AND THE CAR PULLS RIGHT OR LEFT BECAUSE OF THE CROWN IN THE ROAD (WHICH IS BULL). I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION BECAUSE CONSTANCE PRESSURE MUST BE KEPT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR FROM DRIFTING INTO THE RIGHT FREEWAY LANES. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO REPLACE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED/DEFECTIVE FRONT END COMPONENTS. *AK
TWO DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE CAR BEGAN TO FLASH OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. HAPPENS ON INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY BOTHERSOME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER, BUT FOR THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, BUT THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THEY ARE WAITING UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDES THEM WITH A FIX. MEANWHILE, I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.*AK

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE HORN WOULD NOT BLOW UNLESS THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION. THE CONSUMER DID NOT FIND THIS OUT UNTIL AFTER HE HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND WENT TO THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER FOUND THAT ALL OF THE 200 CHRYSLER 300'S HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *AK THE HORN WOULD ONLY ACTIVATE IN ONE SPOT. *SC

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. I NOTICED THAT MY HORN IS INOPERABLE UNLESS THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND TURNED ON. IN TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON TRAIT ON THIS NEW VEHICLE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION WHEN I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE. THEY CHECKED OTHER NEW VEHICLES IN THEIR INVENTORY IN STATED THAT THEY WERE ALL LIKE THAT. THEY THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLERS HELP LINE AND WERE INFORMED THAT "UNBELEIVABLE AS IT IS, THAT IS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED". IN MY OPINION, THIS COULD POSE A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I AM SITTING IN MY CAR WITH THE IGNITION OFF AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEONE BACKING INTO ME IS IMMINENT, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WARN THEM WITH MY HORN.
TRANSMISSION COOLING HOSE FAILED. *BF *NM
