Summary

I recently purchased my Chrysler 300C because it had great reviews and was even on top lists of vehicles for this year. Soon after purchasing, I started encountering the dreaded “300 stall”. With two small children in the vehicle, it has died at more red lights than I can count. Not to mention while driving down the highway, trying to pull out of my driveway, or really just various other occasions. In a matter of a little over a month, I have almost been rear ended at least a handful of times. Considering how many people I have discovered has this same issue, there should be some sort of manufacturer solution or at least a public warning not to purchase this vehicle. I bought the vehicle thinking I was getting a top rated safe vehicle for my family and this is not what I am experiencing.

Summary

My Car broke down in a parking lot (drove there completely fine and the heat gauge didn't read the car was overheating). I got my car towed to bryants automotive in Redding CA. The cars upper radiator hose fell off causing my engine to overheat. 0 check engine light, 0 codes shown. I was quoted 10k, and I am basically screwed because I dont have that kind of money. Very disappointing and I would like an investigation into this issue.

Summary

I here to report what seems to be an on-going issue with the older model Chrysler 300's. I have an 2006 and just recently started smelling gas fumes or an gas odor inside my car. I had a mechanic look at the problem. He assumes it was a cracked or damaged seal. He took the backseat out and looked. The ring was intact but the fuel filter had a small crack in it. We fixed it and thought the problem was over. He said the car would have a heavy fuel smell for a couple of days but would go away once the car was aired out. 3 DAYS go by and though the fumes remained. Now,i see that gas isactually leaking from the underside of the rear passenger side. And the smell is still there. I am taking the car to another repair shop to do a more through exam of the car. Leaking gas should be the least of my problems.

THE FUEL TANK LEAKS FUEL INTO THE CABIN AMY ANY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED MORE THAN HALF WAY UP; THAT OR ANY TIME IT IS MORE THAN A QUARTER FULL AND DRIVEN ON A STEEP HILL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 7 OR 8 YEARS OR MORE NOW...IT STARTED IN AROUND 2012 I THINK, WHEN THE CAR HAD JUST OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT. I AM NEVER ABLE TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK BECAUSE OF IT. , AND IF I NEED TO GO UP OR DOWN A STEEP HILL (AND THERE ARE STEEP HILLS AND DRIVEWAYS ALL OVER THE AREA I LIVE IN), THE FUEL LEAKS INTO THE CAR AND THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG.

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, THE CAR STARTS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND DRIVES OFF WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AS THE CAR SLOWS DOWN WHETHER STOPPING OR TURNING THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN THE CAR VEERS INTO THE OTHER LANE BECAUSE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THE CAR HAS TO STOPPED BEFORE IT CAN BE RESTARTED. ALSO IF YOU ARE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AFTER REFILLING WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE WILL REACH THE DESIRED SPEED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, AFTER MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AS SOON THE DESIRED SPEED IS REACH AND THE MOTOR SLOWS, THE CAR MOTOR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC.

Summary

WHEN I FUEL MY CAR TO FULL I START TO DRIVE AND IT STALLS AND WILL NOT RESTART. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY GAS TANK WHICH IS COVERED UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY EXTENSION U.S. D-14-05. THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WHEN THEY REMOVE AND REPLACE THE TANK THAT THE EXHAUST FLEX PIPES COULD BREAK WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE PIPES AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THIS WOULD BE $3,300 AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS COST. THIS WOULD MEAN THAT THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN IF THE WARRANTY WORK IS DONE AND THE DEALERSHIP BREAKS THE FLEX PIPES I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THOSE PIPES AND RELATED PARTS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, WHY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS, WHICH ARE FINE NOW, BUT COULD BE BROKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY DO THE WARRANTY WORK? IF YOU ARE GOING TO EXTEND A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART THEN WHY WOULD YOU NOT COVER THE WORK AND LABOR NECESSARY TO FIX THE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE PARTS BROKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN DOING THE WORK? THERE SHOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL COST COVERAGE FOR ALL WORK DONE THAT IS NECESSARY TO FIX THE PROBLEM NOT JUST THE PART AND WORK TO REPLACE IT AS LONG AS EVERYTHING GOES PERFECTLY. IF PARTS ARE BROKEN BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHEN DOING WARRANTY WORK THEN THOSE PARTS AND THE LABOR TO REPLACE THEM SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED. I AM ATTACHING THE INVOICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE PROBLEM IN THEIR WORDS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! WHY WOULD ANYONE HAVE WARRANTY WORK DONE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE WARRANTY WORK THAT ARE NOT COVERED. IT DOES NOT SAY THAT THESE PIPES ARE DEFECTIVE OR WORN IT JUST SAYS THAT THEY MIGHT BREAK WHEN DOING THE COVERED WARRANTY WORK. *TR

Summary

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL OUT OF NO WHERE WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF ON YOU. YOUY LOSE ALL POWER. I WAS ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WITH LOSS OF POWER WAS HARD TO GET THE CAR TO RIGHT EDGE OF ROAD AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. I HAVE REPLACED ON ADVICE OF CHRYSLER THE FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP, NEW PCM AND NEW TCM AND THE VEHICLE STILL SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IT THROWS TWO CODES U0100 AND P0700. U0100 IS LOST COMMUNICATIONS AND P0700 IS TRANSMISSION FAULT. THESE ARE TWO GENERIC CODES AND THE P0700 IS JUST A SIMPLE AS THE TRANSMISSION GOING INTO LIMP MODE WHEN ENGINE STALLS. CHRYSLER DEALERS/SERVICE CENTER DON'T KNOW WHATS CAUSING THIS, BUT YOU LOOK ALL OVER THE INTERNET THERE IS 1000'S OF THE SAME COMPLAINT AND NOTHING BEING DONE TO HELP. I EVEN CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY LIED THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. IT IS EFFECTING CARS FROM 2005-2006 AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. MY GIRLFRIEND HAD HER KIDS IN MY CAR AND WAS USING IT AND IT STALLED OUT AND SHE WAS ALMOST RUN INTO AT 9PM AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND SHUTTING OFF.

EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE CAR DIES SHORTLY AFTER FUELING WITH OUT ANY KIND OF WARNING. AFTER YOU DRIVE A LITTLE WAYS AND BURN SOME OF THE FUEL FROM THE TANK, THE CAR RUNS FINE. THE DRIVER HAS NO WARNING AND THE CAR HAS TROUBLE STARTING AFTER IT DIES. I WAS ALMOST IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE CAR DIED. THE CAR IS QUITE AND I DIDN'T REALIZED THE CAR DIED. I JUST KEPT PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDDLE UNTIL I OBSERVED THE RPM GAUGE WAS ON ZERO. I HAD NO WARNING. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH LOW MILEAGE. I THOUGHT IS WAS A ISOLATED INCIDENT, BUT SADLY WAS WRONG. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU FILL IT UP WITH GAS AND MAY DIE ONCE OR SEVERAL TIMES. THERE ARE NO PRE-WARNINGS FOR THE VEHICLE STALLING. ALL ACCELERATION, POWERS STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES WERE GONE WITH OUT WARNING. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVILED THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE GAS TANK DESIGN AND CHRYSLER HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO FIX THIS. CHRYSLER SAID THE ONLY FIX IS A NEW FUEL TANK AND THEY ARE ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. CHRYSLER ALSO CHANGE THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANK IN LATER MODELS BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT PLEASE HOLD THE MAKER ACCOUNTABLE FOR DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING DEFECT.

MY CAR CUTS ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. IF I AND STOPPED AND A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT WILL CUT COMPLETELY OFF AND I WILL HAVE TO CRANK IT BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL CRANK RIGHT UP AND SOMETIMES IT WILL CRANK UP AND CUT OFF A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL STAY CRUNK. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE IT GIVE ME NO WARNING. THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP AND CALLED THE DEALER AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I TRIED TO PULL IT UP ONLINE AND I SEEN WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE SINCE 2014 AND NO ONE COULD TELL THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EITHER.

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

Summary

I OWN A 2006CHRYSLER 300 WITH A 3.5 LITER ENGINE. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, I'VE EXPERIENCED STALLING AND ENGINE SHUT OFF FOLLOWING REFUELING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO MY MECHANIC WHO ALERTED ME TO A RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER OVER THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THE CHALLENGE, I WAS TOLD, WAS THAT THIS WAS A VIN SPECIFIC RECALL, 14-002-14, DATED 4/2214, ON MY MODEL AND ENGINE'S FUEL SYSTEM, NOTED AS A LIFETIME WARRANTY REPAIR, AS STATED IN THAT RECALL, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER. MY MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THIS PROBLEM, ALLOWING GASOLINE TO ENTER THE EVAPORATOR CHAMBER IN THE FUEL SYSTEM BY DROPPING THE GAS TANK AND EXAMINING IT. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THIS TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED. AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THE SAME EXAMINATION WAS CONDUCTED AND THE SAME PROBLEM CONFIRMED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE LIMITED RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER, I'D HAVE TO APPEAL TO CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF PROMISED CALLS NEVER BEING MADE TO ME, I FINALLY SPOKE WITH BRITTANY, A CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPERVISOR WHO SAID I WAS NOT ENTITLED TO THE LIFETIME WARRANTY AND FREE REPAIR TO THIS FACTORY DEFECT BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE VEHICLES COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. SHE SAID ANY REPAIR TO THIS ACKNOWLEDGED FACTORY DEFECT, CONFIRMED BY CHYSLER'S DEALERSHIP MECHANICS, WOULD HAVE TO DONE AT MY EXPENSE. AS A CONSUMER, I FIND THIS EGREGIOUS. WHY SHOULD AN ACKNOWLEDGE FACTORY DEFECT BE REPAIRED ON MY DIME, WHILE THE SAME MODEL, YEAR AND ENGINE TYPE AS MY VEHICLE IS COVERED UNDER AND UNLIMITED WARRANTY BY CHRYSLER FOR OTHER, SELECT VEHICLES. I AM APPEALING TO YOUR ORGANIZATION TO HELP ME OBTAIN THIS REPAIR BEFORE MY FAMILY AND/OR I ARE SUBJECTED TO A ROADSIDE FAILURE OF TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU SOON. THANK YOU.

Summary

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

I WAS PICKING MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL, WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR. THE CAR WOULDN'T KICK OVER, THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AND RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH ONCE I DID GET IT STARTED, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, A VALVE WENT THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK CAUSING TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. A NEW ENGINE BLOCK WAS NEEDED (JASPERS) AT THE COST OF OVER $6000. I CONTACTED CHRYSLERS COOPERATE OFFICE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE'S NO RECALL ON THE ENGINE, AND BEING THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, I WAS JUST STUCK WITH A USELESS CAR WITH A BLOWN ENGINE. I THINK THAT THIS IS SO PITIFUL FOR A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY TO STICK ALL OF THESE CHRYSLER/DODGE OWNERS WITH VEHICLES WITH KNOWN ENGINE PROBLEMS!. JUST LOOK ON THIS SITE, OR JUST GOOGLE CHRYSLER 300/C & DODGE ENGINE PROBLEMS, YOU'LL FIND 100'S, IF NOT 1000'S OF CHRYSLER/DODGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE FAILURE. SHAME ON CHRYSLER!. I KNOW THAT PUTTING A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE ENGINES WOULD BE A VERY COSTLY THING TO DO, HOWEVER IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO!....SHAME ON CHRYSLER!. I WOULD NEVER BUY A DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLE AGAIN!....

PROBLEM: MOMENTARY LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE AND ETC LIGHTS FLASH. SOMETIMES STALLS COMPLETELY (WHEN VERY SLOW OR STOPPED). IT HAS STOPPED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE TURNING. TO STALL WHILE TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC IS UNSAFE. PARTS REPLACED SO FAR: GAS TANK (RECALL) GAS PUMP ACCELERATOR PEDAL DIAGNOSIS: APPARENT INTERMITTENT CONNECTION AT THE PCM. LAST REPAIR ATTEMPT(11/29/17) THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED THE CONNECTION BY ALIGNING THE PINS (APPARENTLY SOME HAD PUSHED THROUGH THE BOARD) & CLEANING THE CONNECTION. IT HAS WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS SINCE THEN, BUT IS FAILING AGAIN. THE TECHNICIAN NOW SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE), POSSIBLY DUE TO BROKEN SOLDER JOINTS ON THE BOARD THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO PCMS AVAILABLE FROM DEALERS AND THERE ARE 67 UNITS ON BACKORDER IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS . . . MANY WITH SIMILAR FAILURE MODES. FROM THE REPAIR SHOP: "DIAGNOSED AND TRACED MULTIPLE FAULTS TO COMMUNICATION LOSS AT POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. REMOVED UNIT FROM HOLDER AND WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING IF THE UNIT IT TAPPED OR SHAKEN THE ENGINE WILL STUMBLE OR STALL. - CONTACTED COMPUTER REPAIR SHOP AND THIS IS VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR SEVERAL CHRYSLER IN LAST MONTH OR SO . THE MAIN PROCESSOR GETS LOOSE ON CIRCUIT BOARD BUT THE CONTACTS ARE SO TINY REPAIR IS NOT POSSIBLE. NO LOCAL DEALERS HAVE UNIT AND THERE ARE 67 ON BACK ORDER IN LAST WEEKS."

Summary

GEAR SHIFTER ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C GOT STUCK IN PARK ON 6/25/17 AT ABOUT 98,400 MILES. LUCKILY CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED AND I WAS ABLE TO LOOK UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A K39 RECALL RELATING TO THIS SAME GEAR SHIFT PROBLEM. BUT FOR SOME REASON, THAT RECALL ONLY COVERED THE 2005-2007 300 LX MODELS, NOT THE 300C MODEL. HERE IS LINK TO RECALL LETTER: HTTP://WWW.WKJEEPS.COM/MISC/LX/TSB_300C_FORUMS/CSN_K39.PDF. I DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT TO NOT INCLUDE THE 300C MODELS IF IT HAD THE SAME POORLY DESIGNED PINK PLASTIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK AS THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE GEAR SHIFTER BEING STUCK IN PARK. I FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO TEMPORARILY GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK GEAR WITH A SCREWDRIVER. AND ANOTHER VIDEO TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK THEMSELVES. WITH THE EXISTENCE OF THESE YOUTUBE VIDEOS, THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD INDICATION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SOME CHRYSLER MODELS. BUT WHY DID THEY NOT RECALL THE 2005-2007 300C MODELS???

Summary

CAME HOME FROM WORK PARKED MY CAR. TEN FIFTEEN MIN LATER I TRIED TO GO TO THE STORE, CAR STARTED & DIED WOULD NOT RESTART. HALF AN HOUR LATER I GOT IT STARTED, BUT IT MAKE A CRUNCHING NOISE & RAN WITH A MISS FIRE. I LIMPED IT TO MY MECHANIC, THE CAR WAS BLOWING OIL SMOKE OUT THE TAILPIPES LIKE I HAD OVERFILLED IT. MY MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE VALVE SEAT ON # 6 CYLINDER HAD DROPPED RUINING BOTH PLUG, CYLINDER HEAD & PISTON. AFTER HE TOLD ME WHAT HAD HAPPENED I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS, LOOKS LIKE ANY 5.7 HEMI & OTHER MOTORS MADE BEFORE 2009 CAN BE EFFECTED. I'VE TRIED TALKING TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ISSUE & WHEN THE HEAR MY CAR WAS NOT @ A DEALER I WAS STONEWALLED.

Summary

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

Summary

ON MULITPLE OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF THAT I'VE OWNED THE CAR IT HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION, THE MOST RECENT OCCASION BEING 2/11/17. ON EVERY OCCASION I HAVE FILLED THE TANK (FILLING ONLY UNTIL THE PUMP CLICKS OFF), LEFT THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT AND MADE IT NO MORE THAN 1/4 MILE BEFORE THE CAR STALLS - TYPICALLY IT WILL LURCH FORWARD 1-2 TIMES VERY HARD, THEN STALL - I TURN THE KEY OFF, THEN BACK ON AND THE CAR WILL START WITHOUT INCIDENT, HOWEVER, THE LURCHING AND STALLING WILL HAPPEN 1-2 MORE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR DRIVES WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT (UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP). ONLY ONE TIME HAS THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN A STOPPED POSITION (AT A STOP LIGHT), IN ALL OTHER INSTANCES THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET (BETWEEN 10-45MPH) WHEN THE STALLING HAS OCCURED - ON EVERY OCCASION IT HAS STALLED MORE THAN 1 TIME (THE MOST BEING 3).

WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK WITH FUEL, FOR THE FIRST MILE OR SO IT KEEPS DYING AT SLOWS TO STOPS. EVERY STOP OR SLOW DOWN FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER FUELING. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT WILL DIE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC OR IN A TURN LANE, AND I AM AFRAID I WILL BE REAR-ENDED. I HAVE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK TO START IT. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 3 TO 4 TRIES TO GET IT TO START WHEN IT HAS STALLED LIKE THIS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL UP NOW. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN 2016.

Summary

REF. NHTSA PE13016 "FAULTY FUEL TANKS" MAKE: CHRYSLER; MODEL: 300 LIMITED; COMPONENT: FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. EVERY TIME WE RE-FUEL THE CAR TO THE "FULL" LEVEL, THE CAR HESITATES AND STALLS. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THIS STALLING HAS RESULTED IN AN POTENTIAL COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BEING AVOIDED ONLY BY ASTUTE DRIVER INTERVENTION. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AND HAS CONSISTENTLY REPEATED DURING EVERY REFUELING SINCE. NO RESEARCH OR ATTEMPT TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL. CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS NO NOTIFICATION OF THIS PROBLEM BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROVIDED VIN NUMBER AND STATES THAT THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL SUCH A NOTICE IS RECEIVED. I AM REQUESTING YOUR INTERVENTION ON MY BEHALF BY NOTIFYING CHRYSLER CORPORATION OF THIS REPORTED AND KNOWN PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. ONCE DOCUMENTED, I CAN ARRANGE TO HAVE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS MADE BEFORE ANY OTHER EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ARE EXPERIENCED THEREBY PREVENTING INJURY TO MY WIFE AND/OR MYSELF OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN A PREVENTABLE ACCIDENT. THANK YOU FOR THE COURTESY OF YOUR TIME AND THE QUICK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT. *TR

Summary

STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS LAST YEAR. CAR WOULD CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, CUT OFF WHILE IN A TURN AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, DEALER STATED IT WAS PCM. HAD THE CONTROL MODULE FIXED ($1000 REPAIR) AND NOW RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WANTS TO CUT OFF AT ALL SPEEDS. TODAY, MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE GAS STATION AND IT CUT OFF ON HIM AND THEN WOULDN'T START BACK UP. IT STARTED UP A FEW MIN AFTER SITTING BUT TRAFFIC WAS TOO BUSY SO WE WERE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. IT IS STILL PARKED AT THE GAS STATION AND WE ARE HOPING WELL BE ABLE TO GET IT HOME BEFORE HAVING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS 1 1/2 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE WE ASSUMED IT WAS MISFIRING (WHEN IT WAS WANTING TO CUT OFF). WE'VE CHANGED THE CAMSHAFT (PRIOR TO HAVING THE PCM REPLACED) AND EGR VALVE AS WELL. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT HAVE STILL ATTEMPTED TO GET CODES READ... NO CODES. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD A HAND IN MAKING..... HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE YOU REALIZE THAT THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE... BUT I GUESS YOU'D RATHER A LAWSUIT ON YOUR HANDS FOR A DEATH RATHER THEN FIXING ALL THESE CARS THE RIGHT WAY. #UNSATISFIEDBUYER TOOK A SHOT AT THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR AND AM SADLY DISAPPOINTED 2006 300C 5.7L HEMI. WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR IF YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT.

Summary

TAKATA RECALL: MY COMPLAINT IS NOT WITH THE CHRYLSER CORPORATION ITSELF, MY COMPLAINT IS THE WAY THAT DEALERSHIPS (ANCIRA CHRYSLER AND INGRAM PARK CHRYSLER) ARE HANDLING IT. I AM ACTIVELY TRYING TO GET MY CHRYSLER 300 AIRBAG REPLACED, AND I KEEP RECEIVING NOTICES FROM CHRYSLER TO GET IT DONE - AND IN THE NOTICES IT SAYS THAT IT TAKES 2 HOURS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I CONTACT A DEALER TO GET IT DONE, THEY TELL ME THAT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT APPOINTMENTS FOR THIS RECALL, THEY ARE 4-6 WEEKS AWAY FROM GETTING TO MY VEHICLE, I WILL HAVE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE THERE FOR 3-5 DAYS, AND THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE - BUT THEY NEVER DO. THE CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE EVEN HELPED ME CALL THEM AND THEY NEVER PICK UP THE PHONE. THEY ARE PURPOSELY TRYING TO DISSUADE PEOPLE FROM GETTING IT DONE. I AM A WORKING SINGLE PARENT, WITH ONE VEHICLE - IT'S ALL I CAN AFFORD. I DON'T WANT MY FACE BLOWN OFF BY MY AIRBAG, BUT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY JOB EITHER. WHAT THE DEALERSHIPS ARE DOING IS IRRESPONSIBLE, DESPICABLE AND SHOULD BE PROHIBITED. THEY ARE NOT PUTTING ANY PRIORITY INTO THE RESOLUTION OF THIS RECALL - AND ARE AS GUILTY AS CHRYSLER IN THEIR COVER UP OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

I MUST RESTART THE CAR AND REV THE ENGINE BEFORE PROCEEDING, IT HAS YET TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE HAD THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP MECHANICS LOOK AT THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, USUALLY WITH INCREASED FREQUENCY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL. TO REITERATE, OFTEN WHEN I AM IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT THE CHRYSLER 300 STALLS. BUT THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AS WELL. THE MECHANICS I HAVE HAD LOOK AT MY CAR HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. BUT IT USUALLY HAPPENS WITH GREATER FREQUENCY RIGHT AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK TO FULL.

DEALER SAYS IT IS MY JOB TO REPLACE RADIO AND GPS SYSTEM FOR ALMOST $2,000 - LABOR NOT INCLUDED. NEW RADIO AND GPS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS CAR AT THIS TIME. LOCAL VENDOR SUGGESTED THE AIR BAG WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY OR THE WRONG MAKE/MODEL WAS USED TO GET THE JOB DONE AND GET RID OF ME. I HAD ALSO READ ON YOUR LIST OF RECALLS FOR THIS MODEL THERE WAS A RADIO THAT EXPLODED. I NEED THE RADIO AND PARTICULARLY THE GPS TO WORK AND THE CAR WILL HAVE REDUCED RESALE VALUE WITHOUT EITHER OF THOSE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. DEALER ORDERED A NEW GPS DISC AND TRIED TO LOAD IT TO MAKE THE SYSTEM FUNCTION ONCE AGAIN, BUT THE GPS SYSTEM WOULD NOT LOAD THE NEW DISC.

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

Summary

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

Summary

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND I NOTICED THAT WHEN I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK IT WOULD CUT OFF. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS PUTTING TOO MUCH GAS IN IT, SO I STOPPED FILLING IT UP. THEN MAYBE 3-4 MONTHS AGO IT STARTED ACTING AS IF IT DID NOT WANT TO START OR WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGHT GAS. SO I STARTED PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT STORES I WENT TO, TO GET GAS. TWO DAYS AGO, I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND AT FIRST IT WOULD NOT START AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS, BUT THEN IT FINALLY STARTED AND AS I WAS IN TRAFFIC, MAKING A RIGHT TURN, IT JUST CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I LATER LEARNED THAT IT IS AN UNLIMITED RECALL ON THE FUEL TANKS FOR MY CAR. I CALLED SEVERAL CHRYSLAER DEALERSHIPS, AND IT SEEMS THAT WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT FOR MAYBE A MONTH OR TWO AND ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE I HAD MORE THAN 150,00 MILES ON MY CAR THEY WON'T FIX IT.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I FILLED UP MY VEHICLE WITH GAS. I HAD MY NIECES IN THE CAR WITH ME, AND AS I PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION, THE CAR STALLED AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I GOT IT TO CRANK BACK UP BEFORE GETTING HIT. IT DIDN'T HAVE MUCH POWER BUT FINALLY GAINED ITS POWER BACK. EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK UP (NOT TOPPING OFF, BUT STOP ONCE IT CLICKS OFF) AND I DRIVE OFF, THE CAR QUITS AND HAS TO BE CRANKED BACK UP. IT APPEARS TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS FILLED UP. THIS IS HAPPENING ONLY WHEN IT'S FILLED UP (WHICH ONE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO DO). THIS IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS AS WHEN YOU PULL OFF INTO TRAFFIC, THE LAST THING YOU NEED IS TO HAVE A CAR DIE ON YOU AND YOU GET HIT. PLEASE HELP!

ENGINE FAILURE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE. SHE WENT INTO THE STORE AND CAME BACK OUT AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND IT WOULD BE $8000 TO REPAIR IT. I CONTACTED CHRYLSER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ANOTHER SHOP JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS REALLY WRONG. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005-2007 5.7 HEMI MOTORS. HE TOLD ME IT'S NORMALLY CAUSED BY A INTAKE VALVE SEAT FALLING OUT. SURE ENOUGH WHEN HE TOOK IT APART THE #4 INTAKE VALVE SEAT HAD FELL OUT AND WRECKED THE #4 CYLINDER. I KNOW THIS MIGHT NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN. I'VE BEEN SEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE SAME BOAT AS ME AND WE CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE ABOUT IT. THIS IS NOT A VEHICLE MODEL ISSUE THIS IS AN ENGINE ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING IN ANYTHING THAT THE 5.7 HEMI MOTOR WAS PUT IN AND MAINLY FROM 2005-2007. SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM WHILE DRIVING SO I'M JUST LUCKY THAT MY FAILURE HAPPENED WHEN MY WIFE WAS PARKED.

SENDING ANOTHER LOG. NOT SURE MY COMPLAINT WENT THROUGH. SINCE BEGINNING OF 2014 MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI INTERMITTENTLY STALLS AFTER REFUELING. IT OCCURS IMMEDIATELY AFTER A REFUEL AND USUALLY WHEN YOU ARE AT A LOW SPEED TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OR IT CAN OCCUR BY JUST TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED. THIS CAN OCCUR 'ANYWHERE' AFTER A REFUEL. IT HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER PULLING ON INTERSTATES AFTER A STOP AT A CONVENIENT REFUEL. I'M ALWAYS FRANTIC DUE TO THE TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MYSELF AND PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE WITH THIS SITUATION. SOMETIMES AFTER A REFUEL IT WILL STALL 3 - 4 TIMES. I WAS GOING TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP, BUT WANTED TO READ ON THE INTERNET IF ANY ISSUES AS THIS WERE LOGGED. I WAS AMAZED. CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THE FIX, SINCE IT IS OVER $1000 TO FIX THE ISSUE, PLUS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE OF 'NUMEROUS' RECORDED LOGGINGS. IT STATED ON THE INTERNET THAT LETTERS WENT OUT FOR A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS ISSUE.

MY MECHANIC HAS NO ANSWERS. OTHER THAN THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM, I LIKE MY VEHICLE, DO YOU KNOW IF CHRYSLER HAS THE ANSWER AND IF THIS CAN BE RESOLVED? I AM GUESSING AT WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED.

WHILE ON A CURVY ROAD AFTER DARK, AT 45 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN, DASH LIGHTS FLASHED AND WENT OFF, ENGINE DIED. 40 MPH ON A CURVY ROAD WITH NO LIGHTS.

ON 12/08/15 MY WIFE WAS IN LINE AT THE DANDRIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PICKING UP MY GRANDSON. WHILE IN CAR PICKUP LINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED (SURGED FORWARD) THEN DIED. ENGINE DIED 5 TIMES BEFORE SHE COULD GET IT HOME. THIS WOULD BE CALLED A NEAR MISS ACCIDENT IN A WORKPLACE SETTING.CAR IS OPERATING NORMALLY AT THIS TIME. I HELD AN ASE MASTER TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION AND IN MY OPINION IT IS A DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL CONDITION. I REALIZE THAT SOMEONE MUST DIE IN ORDER TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND THAT IS A SHAME.

Summary

I HAVE READ MULTIPLE POSTS THAT FIT EXACTLY THE SAME DESCRIPTION TO WHAT HAPPENED RECENTLY WITH OUR 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L HEMI AWD - SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE OUR EXPERIENCE. WE HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF OUR 300, REGULAR SERVICES ETC AND HAVE KEPT EVERY SINGLE DOCUMENTATION SINCE PURCHASED. RECENTLY, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 70-75 MPH ON I-95 - ENGINE COMPLETELY CONKED OUT AND STARTED STEAMING. TOWED IT TO THE MECHANIC. ORIGINALLY THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS JUST A CRACK/LEAK IN THE RADIATOR, WHICH WOULD COST $750. THEY WENT AHEAD AND FIXED THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, 2 HOURS LATER WE GET A CALL SAYING THERE WAS A SEVERE CRACK IN THE ENGINE THAT HAS CAUSED A MAJOR LEAK INTERNALLY. NOW AT THE MERCY OF THE MECHANIC, AS WE OWE THEM $750 FOR THEIR MISDIAGNOSIS. NEW DIAGNOSIS - NEED A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT THAT WOULD COST APPROX $8000-$8500. ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS WHEN YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION KBB VALUE IS BETWEEN $9,000-$10,000. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH IT SEEMS A NEW 300 ENGINE WOULD BE BETWEEN $4,000-$5,500 AND LABOR IS APPROX $1,800-$2,500. SO I GUESS IT ISN'T A BAD DEAL FOR MECHANICS WHO CAN POSSIBLY FIX IT THEMSELVES. HOWEVER, AS USUAL THE LOYAL CUSTOMERS ALWAYS SEEM TO GET SCREWED BY CHRYSLER. WORST PART ABOUT IT IS 4 MONTHS AGO WE PURCHASED A NEW 300. MAYBE THIS WAS ONE OF THE REASONS THEY REVAMPED THE ENTIRE ENGINE OF THE NEWER CHRYSLER 300 MODEL RANGE???

Summary

WHEN REFUELING OUR VEHICLE, USING THE CORRECT GRADE OF GAS, NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK AND ALLOWING THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN FILLED, WE ARE EXPERIENCING LIFE THREATENING EPISODES OF STALLING OUT WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM A GAS STATION, OR IDLING IN TRAFFIC, TURNING CORNERS, AND ENTERING RAMPS TO THE HIGHWAY IT WILL STALL AND CHOKE WHEN WE TRY TO START IT BACK UP. WE WAIT APPROXIMATELY 3-5 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING A RESTART WITHOUT ENGAGING THE GAS PEDAL. BUT STILL NOTHING HAPPENS. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF WE FORCIBLY HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE YOU LOSE POWER TO YOUR BRAKES, STEERING, ETC. AND JUST PRAY THAT NOBODY GETS INJURED. DURING THE STALL OUT THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWN ON THE DASHBOARD. ONCE WE FINALLY GET IT TO HOLD A START, WE MUST AT HIGH IDLE DRIVE FAST AS POSSIBLE, GETTING OFF THE MAIN ROAD/HIGHWAY/CITY STREET TO IMMEDIATELY GARAGE THE CAR. THEN WE HAVE TO HAVE IT RUN WITH THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN FOR AT LEAST 2.0 HOURS. AND THEN WE CAUTIOUSLY DRIVE IT WITH ME FOLLOWING MY HUSBAND TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T STALL OUT AGAIN. ONCE WE GET PASS THIS STALLING-OUT PERIOD THE CAR BEHAVES PROPERLY, AND WE HAVE NO FURTHER ISSUES UNTIL WE REFUEL AGAIN ON A WEEKLY BASIS. WE ONLY HAVE THIS REFUELING ISSUE WHEN FILLING THE CAR. IT INDEED IS A PROBLEM THAT THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC DISCUSSED IN THE LETTER WE RECEIVED MAY 8, 2014, IN THE 2ND PARAGRAPH "THE AFFECTED VEHICLE POPULATION MAY EXPERIENCE A CONDITION WHERE THE FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT, IN THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE STICKS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE STALLING AFTER REFUELING. THIS STATEMENT FOR US IS DEFINITELY OUR PROBLEM. AND WE ARE PLANNING TO ADDRESS IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP ASAP. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY WEEK. THE LAST TIME WAS OCTOBER 30TH 2015. WE HAVE NOW ONLY FILLED IT TO THE 3/4 MARK AND IT HAS STOPPED STALLING OUT TEMPORARILY.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I REALIZE THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY IN PLACE TO FIX, BUT I AM BEING INFORMED BY MY DEALERSHIP AND BY MY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE REP REP THAT MY AIRBAG CAN NOT BE REPAIRED UNTIL DECEMBER 2016 THAT IS OVER A YEAR FROM NOW AND 19 MONTHS FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL OF MAY 29, 2015 AIRBAG RECALL NUMBER 15V-313 THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A BIG RECALL, BUT MY ISSUE IS THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE ONLY FIXING ONE CAR A WEEK PER (CHRYSLER) REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY PARTS ARE SENT TO DEALERS. IF THIS TRULY A "SAFETY RECALL" HOW IS THAT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN? I HAVE ALL DATES AND TIMES OF WHO I HAVE SPOKEN TO AT CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP.

Summary

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

I WANT TO COMPLAINT ABOUT HOW IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING THE RECALL 15V-313 THAT IS IN REGARDS TO THE AIR BAG. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER VARIOUS TIMES AND THEY KEEP SAYING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET TO REPAIR THE ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS.

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

Summary

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 STALLS AT RANDOM TIMES. IT HAS STALLED WHILE I'M DRIVING OVER 45MPH, AROUND A CURVE, STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT. IT DOESN'T JUST STALL, IT STALLS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHEN IT STALLED THIS MORNING AROUND A CURVE, I HAD GREAT DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE STEERING SO THAT I DIDN'T GO INTO THE DITCH OR INTO AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ MANY DISCUSSIONS ONLINE ABOUT THE CHRYSLER 300 VEHICLES STALLING, AND HAVING NO INDICATION FROM DASH LIGHTING THAT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. TECHNICIANS CANNOT FIND ANY APPARENT REASON FOR THE STALLS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SHOW UP AS CODE WHEN CONNECTED TO A COMPUTER. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR 4 WEEKS AND HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AT ALL.

Summary

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

Summary

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

Summary

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

I CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT (I CALLED THE SAME DEALER IN BARTOW FL.

Summary

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE, WITHOUT WARNING, OF MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ISSUE. ON 7/17/15, I WENT INTO THE STORE WITH MY CHILD, RETURNED TO MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE SYSTEM READ, "SYSTEM OK." SMOKE BLEW FROM THE TAILPIPE. FINALLY IT STARTED, BUT SHOOK VIOLENTLY. GRATEFUL I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY ALONE OR WHILE DRIVING. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT HAD THIS OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS COST ME $560 (THREE TOWS TO REPAIR SHOP #1, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP #2 AND FINALLY HOME AND A CHARGE FROM EACH REPAIR SHOP TO LOOK AT AND ASSESS THE DAMAGES (NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF THE RENTAL CARS). END RESULT, "PISTON #4 DAMAGED, MISSING LARGE PIECE OF PISTON TOP, NEED TO REPLACE ENGINE, ESTIMATED COST $8093." THE SERVICE TECH SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. BASED ON NUMEROUS REPORTS OF COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE FOUND ONLINE WHILE RESEARCHING THE COST OF REPLACEMENT ENGINES AT HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/300C/2006/ENGINE/COMPLETE_ENGINE_FAILURE.SHTML, I NOW DON'T BELIEVE THAT AT ALL. CHRYSLER HAS PROVEN TO BE UNTRUSTWORTHY. THERE, THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HAS THE MOST OVERALL COMPLAINTS OF COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. SEE WORST MODEL YEAR GRAPHIC AT HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/300C/, BASED ON NUMBER OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. IT SEEMS THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ENGINE ITSELF IS SIMPLY THE PROBLEM AND CHANCES ARE A NEW ENGINE TOO WOULD LIKELY FAIL. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAID, 'WE'D JUST JUNK YOUR CAR' (A FULLY-LOADED 2006 I PAID $44K FOR BRAND NEW). NOW, WITH 94000 MILES ON IT, IT IS JUNK? THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG AT CHRYSLER. IN 2013, SOMETHING CAUSED COMPLETE BATTERY DRAIN. DRIVER DOOR BEGAN FALLING APART. AFTER FILLING UP, MY CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING AND IDLE. MAINTENANCE GETS DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP.

THEY PUT ME ON SOME LIST CLAIMING THEY HAVE NO PARTS AND THAT AS THE PARTS COME IN THEY WORK OFF THEIR LIST AND I WILL GET A CALL. I HAVE CALLED THEM BACK WEEKLY SINCE WITH NO HELP. THEY CLAIM THEY ONLY GET TWO PARTS FOR THE RECALL REPAIR EACH WEEK. SO IF I'M LUCKY THEY MIGHT FIX IT IN THE NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS. I CALLED AN ONLINE PARTS VENDOR AND THEY SAID I COULD GET THE PARTS BY UPS IN A WEEK OR LESS. SO THE DEALER IS PLAYING GAMES WITH PEOPLE. I WENT ONLINE AND WROTE THE OWNER MR. MOSS WHO PUTS ON A SHOW OF HOW IMPORTANT HIS CUSTOMERS ARE BUT HE OR A MINION NEVER REPLIED BY PHONE, LETTER OR EMAIL. THESE GUYS DON'T GET IT. NEXT CAR WILL BE FROM ANOTHER DEALER. JUST NEED HELP GETTING THE RECALL FIXED.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT REGARDING REPAIR OF CHRYSLER'S VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE R25 DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL. I HAVE TRIED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS TO SCHEDULE MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA AND THE RESPONSE IS THE SAME. THERE IS A LONG WAITING LIST BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIPS ARE OUT OF REPAIR PARTS AND CHRYSLER HAS NOT SENT ADDITIONAL REPAIR PARTS. CHRYSLER HAD AGREED TO COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL RECALL BUT HAS SUFFICIENTLY SUPPLIED THE DEALERSHIPS WITH THE PARTS NEEDED. THIS CAUSE AN NEGATIVE AFFECT ON MY ABILITY TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE TO LIMIT MY USE BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MAY RUPTURE AND RELEASE METAL FRAGMENTS ESPECIALLY SINCE I LIVE IN ATLANTA WHICH IS HOT AND HIGH IN HUMIDITY.

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

THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR MORE THAN JUST 2006 300C AUTOS. IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT ADMIT TO THE FLAW WHY DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT MAKE THEM STEP UP AND REPAIR OR REIMBURSE CONSUMERS WHO WILL NO DOUBT NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE? THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR AT LEAST CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY WHEN THE PART FAILS.

Summary

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

Summary

THE 300 HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK, WHICH WAS REPLACED JANUARY 2015 BY TATE IN FREDERICK MD. SINCE THEN THE STALLING ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I TOOK THE CAR TO TATE 4 TIMES, AND WAS TOLD 4 DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTICS. 1= TRANSMISSION, 2= BATTERY, 3=PLUGS & COILS, 4=CANISTER FOR EXTRA FUEL. I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS & COILS. WHICH DIDN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO A 2ND DEALER. DARCAR'S IN ROCKVILLE MD AND THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME THAT ITS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE & POWER CONTROL MODULE. MY CAR NO MATTER IF THERE IS A FULL TANK OR A 1/4 OF TANK STALLS WHEN I AM AT IDLE. IT CAN STALL ONCE OR THE MAX IS 9 TIMES. I HAVE A 1 1/2 YEAR OLD & 5 YEAR OLD WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I FOUND THIS FORUM, WHICH ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE & DIFFERENT DEALERS ARE THROWING DIFFERENT PARTS. I DON'T THINK THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK CORRECTED THIS TRUE ISSUE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH DISCOVERING THE TRUE CAUSE AND MAKING THE CARS SAFE FOR THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS? *TR

VERY SOON AFTER PURCHASING THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300C (USED), IT BEGAN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. AFTER "GOOGLING" IS SEEMS PEOPLE ALL OVER WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, AN SOME WERE ATTRIBUTING THIS TO FILING UP THE GAS TANK. WE TOOK DUE CAUTION NOT TO FILL UP THE TANK (HOW RIDICULOUS IS THIS?) AND THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PURCHASED FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED AT. AFTER THE RUN AROUND ABOUT WHO ACTUALLY "FIXES" THE CAR, IT WAS TAKEN TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED US $400.00 FOR A BATTERY AND THEN REPLACED SOME WIRING HARNESS WHICH DID NOTHING. WE ARE BACK AT IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I SEE AN ARTICLE IN THE LA TIMES ON THE INTERNET SAYING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THAT'S NOT HELPING. WE HAVEN'T PUT 2,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE IN ALMOST A YEAR NOW. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAS NO VALUE. HELP. NHTSA OBVIOUSLY KNOWS ABOUT THIS.

Summary

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK AND I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A SMOOTH MERGE INTO TRAFFIC BUT MY CAR MADE LITTLE EFFORT TO MOVE. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT STRUGGLED TO SPEED FORWARD AS IF IT WAS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. IN ORDER TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT AGAIN, I HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF MY VEHICLE, AND TURN IT BACK ON. AFTER WORK, A SIMILAR ISSUE ROSE. I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS TO MOVE FORWARD, IT STRUGGLED UNTIL THE VEHICLE GAINED SPEED OF ABOUT 10MPH, THEN IT PICKED UP SPEED AS NORMAL AS IF IT WAS STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. WHEN I GOT HOME, MY ENGINE TEMPERATURE REACHED 217 WHICH IS WELL ABOVE NORMAL. THE CAR ISN'T GIVING ME A CODE SO I CAN KNOW WHAT EXACTLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

Summary

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

I WENT OUT TO START MY CHRYSLER 300 TO HEAD TO WORK AND AGAIN THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE. I CALLED CHRYLSER (THE COMPANY) AND WAS TOLD IF I TOOK IT TO A DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED IT WAS POSSIBLE I COULD HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE FREE. SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC SAID THE PROBLEM WAS A PART LOCATED WITHIN THE GEAR SHIFT THAT MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE GEAR SHIFT NOT TO MOVE. THE PART JUST SIMPLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT IT WOULD COST ME NEARLY $700.00. THE SAME DAY I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED I CONTACTED CHRYSLER (THE COMPANY) AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. SO I WAITED TO SEE WHAT I SHOULD DO. ON JULY 17, 2014- I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO TRY AND SPEAK WITH THEM ONE LAST TIME ABOUT THE SITUATION BEFORE GOING TO COURT. AT ONE POINT THE REPRESENTATIVE EVEN BECAME TEMPERAMENTAL WITH ME STATING THAT BECAUSE MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER VIN # IT WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL, REGARDLESS IF IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OR NOT. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED.

Summary

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

Summary

I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT A FEW OF THE SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MY CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED. NO HEIP! I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE GEAR SHIFT GETTING STUCK IN DRIVE. AFTER GOING ONTO A CHRYSLER FORUM WHERE MANY OTHER 300 CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING I FOUND A QUICK FIX TO ALLOW ME TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP USING A SCREW DRIVER. LONG STORY BUT YES I HAD TO STICK A SCREW DRIVE INTO THE GEAR BOX TO RELEASE THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND OUT REPAIR COST $175 I WAS INFORMED MY VIN WASN'T A PART OF THE RECALL! NEXT ISSUE THE COOLING FANS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I WAS GETTING SOME FOOD AT DRIVE THRU. AS SOON AS I DRIVE IN LINE I HEARD A LOUD BANG ONE OF THE FANS MOUNTS BECAME LOOSE AND THE FAN BLADES HIT TO SIDE WALL AND BROKE. $500 LATER TO REPLACE AND YES AGAIN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT BUT NOT MY VIN!!!! FINAL STRAW MY SON AND I WHERE DRIVING HOME FROM A GAME IT WAS RAINING. BOTH OF US NOTICE THE SMELL OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENT IT WAS FAINT BUT CONSISTENT. WE LUCKILY DIDN'T HAVE FAR TRAVEL HOME. WHEN I PULLED IN AND TURNED THE CAR OFF I OPENED THE HOOD A LIL BIT SMOKE AND BECAUSE THE RAIN WAS HITTING THE ENGINE IT MADE A LIL BIT MORE OF SMOKE. SO I CLOSED IT AND WENT INSIDE. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED BOTH THE PASSENGER HEAD LIGHT AND FOG LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING. I CHECKED THE FUSES, GOOD. WENT UP TO GET REPLACEMENT BULBS. THE EMPLOYEE AT THE STORE HAD A [XXX] OF A TIME TRYING TO REMOVING THE LIGHT FROM THE HARNESS. WE NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC WAS MELTED AND DIS COLORED. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOT A LOOK AT THE FOG LIGHT HARNESS IT WAS FACTORY FOGS AND THE HARNESS WAS MELTED BLACK PLASTIC. SO I HAD TO ORDER REPLACEMENT FOG LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS $475. IM THANKFUL WE WHERE BLESSED THAT THE CAR DIDN'T FULLY CATCH FIRE BECAUSE NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD REPLACE MY SON!! THERE IS 3 MORE ELECTRIC ISSUES AT THIS TIME!

WHILE DRIVING APP 55 MPH AT APP 8PM AT NIGHT MY CARS LIGHTS AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON FLASHERS AND COAST THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SAT THERE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN THE CAR RESTARTED. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONE FOLLOWING BEHIND ME. I HAVE BEEN OUT OF TOWN ON BUSINESS AND USED A COMPANY CAR. UPON MY RETURN I TOOK MY CAR TO OUR LOCAL SHOP TODAY. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT ANY PROBLEMS, HOWEVER SHARED AN ARTICLE STATING MORE THAN 150,000 CHRYSLER OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR TROUBLE. THEY CONTACTED THE NEAREST DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALER IN ABERDEEN WASHINGTON WHO OFFERED NO HELP OR INFORMATION. THEY COULD GIVE NO REASON FOR THE INCIDENT. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE, NOR INFORMATION REGARDING ANY POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. HOW SHOULD I PROCEED? I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I MAY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE. THIS HAS CREATED A SIGNIFICANT BURDEN AND STRESS. IT SEEMS SOMEONE SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE AND THAT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY BY NOT BEING NOTIFIED OF THIS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. IS THIS AN ISSUE I NEED MY ATTORNEY TO ADDRESS?

I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STALLED. IT STARTED RIGHT UP, BUT HAD A HARD TIME FINDING DRIVE WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE. AFTER THAT IT RAN FINE. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES SINCE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITH NO WARNING. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AFTER REFUELING, BUT ALSO HAPPENS AT ANY FUEL TANK GAUGE READING. ALSO THE CAR HESITATES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS ON OCCASION, BUT DOESN'T STALL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK THE CAR TO TWO DEALERS AND AFTER SPENDING $500 THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY WERE NO HELP. MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE THE CAR AND I FEAR IT WILL STALL PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER A STOP. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION I HAVE REALIZED THAT THOUSANDS OF 2006 300C OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. HOW THE DEALERS CAN PRETEND THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND TAKE MONEY FROM ME TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, KNOWING THEY WON'T FIX IT, HAS TO BE CRIMINAL. SAFETY CONCERNS WERE NEVER ADDRESSED BY THE DEALERS OR CHRYSLER AS WELL. *TR

MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE. EVERY TIME SHE FILLS IT UP WITH FUEL, THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC 2-3 TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHE DRIVES AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. IT WILL HOWEVER RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES. SHE HAS HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AT LEAST ONCE SHE WAS DRIVING THROUGH A CURVE WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED, DISABLING THE POWER STEERING WHERE SHE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY WIFE'S FAULT BECAUSE SHE MUST BE OVERFILLING THE TANK. THEY TOLD ME TO TELL HER TO LET THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE SHUT OFF THE FUEL WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL AND NOT PUT IN ANY ADDITIONAL FUEL AFTER THAT. WELL WE TRIED THIS AND IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE. THEN I CARRIED IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD SINCE FOUND OUT FROM CHRYSLER THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK ISSUE AND THE ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE TANK AND ASSOCIATED PARTS AT A COST OF APPROX. $2000. IF CHRYSLER KNEW THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE, IT SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY! PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE PICKING UP MY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL THE CAR FAILED TO START, WHEN I TURNED THE KEY IT MADE A HORRIBLE CLANKING SOUND (FROM THE ENGINE), AT THAT POINT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THE CAR THERE AND WALK HOME FROM SCHOOL WITH THE KIDS. I HAD JUST DRIVEN THE CAR 6 MILES FROM WORK, AND THE CAR GAVE NO PRIOR WARNING SIGNS OF THIS IMMINENT FAILURE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC, HE LATER INFORMED ME THAT THE VALVE SEAT CAME OUT OF PLACE (WALKED) AND THE CAR WILL NEED A NEW ENGINE BLOCK AND/OR EXTENSIVE WORK TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. HE QUOTED THE JOB TO BE AT $7000, HE ALSO EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM PARTICULARLY WITH THE 2006-2008 CHRYSLER/DODGE HEMI MODELS, WHICH SHOULD'VE BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURE DUE TO THE FREQUENCY IN WHICH THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND ROUTINE OIL CHANGES IN MY CAR, SO I WAS TOTALLY SURPRISE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AT 90,000 MILES. CURRENTLY I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCIAL MEANS TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED ON MY OWN, AND I'M ASKING IS THERE ANY WAY THAT I CAN BE COMPENSATED THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER FOR THIS PROBLEM?

THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING SO I CONTINUED TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE UNTIL SEPTEMBER BECAUSE THE ISSUE GOT WORSE AND STALLED ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT MY VEHICLE HAVING A RECALL AND TO SET UP SERVICE. ONLY AFTER I BROUGHT THE NOTICE TO THE DEALER DID THE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS THE REASON MY CAR WAS STALLING SO MUCH. THEY SAID THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD ORDER THE FUEL TANK. THIS WAS OVER A MONTH AGO THE DEALERSHIP STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS. I RECENTLY WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, MY VEHICLE STALLED ON ON THE ROAD AND CAUSED A 4 CAR PILE UP. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR

Summary

IN APRIL OF 2014 I INFORMED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER OF A STALLING PROBLEM ON OUR CHRYSLER 300C. THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED IN 2011 AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE AND PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE DID RESTART AND CLEARED ITSELF OUT RIGHT AWAY. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND AT THAT TIME I'M GUESSING IT WAS A NEW ISSUE BECAUSE " WE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT". AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT OTHERS WERE ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM AFTER FILL UP. IN FEB 2014 I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THESE AND OTHER LX PLATFORM CHRYSLERS ON THESE TANKS. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I GO WITH THIS INFORMATION AND THE LOCAL DEALER PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST. IN SEPT. 2014 WE WERE TOLD WE WERE NEXT ON THE LIST FOR A NEW TANK. IT IS NOW LATE OCTOBER AND STILL NO TANK. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WERE 2000 OF THESE TANKS ON BACKORDER AND THE WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED AS THEY ARE BUILT. TODAY I CALLED THE CHRYSLER SUPPORT LINE. THE LADY WAS VERY SYMPATHETIC. SHE CALLED MY DEALER AND SOMEHOW I WENT FROM NEXT ON THE LIST TO #3 ON THE LIST. I NOW FEEL THAT THE BEAN COUNTERS THINK A LOT OF THE CARS WILL SOMEHOW GO AWAY AND THEN SO WILL THE PROBLEM. A FEW STALLED VEHICLES INVOLVED IN LETHAL CRASHES CAUSED BY THIS STALLING ISSUE LINKED TO THE FUEL SHUT OFF FLOAT STICKING MAY BE WHAT IT TAKES. WE KNOW THAT BY ONLY FUELING THE TANK TO 3/4 FULL WE DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM. IF WE SHOULD TRADE THIS VEHICLE THE NEXT OWNER NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE TANK BUT THERE IS NO PARTS SUPPORT. *TR

Summary

I STOPPED AT AN RR CROSSING TO WAIT FOR THE TRAIN TO PASS BY SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE TO DECREASE POLLUTION. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND I WAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BEING LOCKED IN PARK, I COULD NOT EVEN BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC.AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE & MODEL AND CERTAIN VIN'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED TO CORRECT BY CHRYSLER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE ON THE ROAD THAT DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL BUT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM. SITTING IN YOUR DRIVEWAY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IS ONE THING, SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION. ALL VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE & MODEL NEED TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

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

CAR CONTINUES TO LOSE POWER IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT IN TRAFFIC. WE EXPERIENCED POWER FAILURE SOME 45 TIMES LAST NIGHT DRIVING HOME. AT ONE POINT WE COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 45 MPH. THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN CHANGED AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT STOPPED. NOW THE CHRYSLER TECH SAYS THAT THE COMPUTER IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND A MODULE IS NEEDED. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW AND WE DON'T KNOW NOW WHAT TO DO AND I'M AFRAID WE WILL HAVE A DEADLY ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING DEAD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO STOPPING IT JUST STOPS.

THE CAR STALLED RIGHT AFTER BEING FILLED WITH GAS. I RESTARTED THE CAR PULLED FORWARD AND STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC AND IT STALLED AGAIN. IT RESTARTED AND WENT A FEW BLOCKS AND STALLED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT DID NOT STALL AGAIN. I DROVE IT HOME AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT AGAIN. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM BY CHRYSLER. THEY SAY IT IS THE FUEL VALVE AND HAVE REPLACED THE TANKS ON SOME CARS BUT NOT ALL THAT ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM. I INTEND TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPLACE MY GAS TANK UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT OTHERS HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM COVERING IT. CHRYSLER IS CALLING THEIR RECALL THE X53 19 GALLON EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C THAT RECENTLY BROKE DOWN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS THEY SAID THAT VALVE SEAT DETERIORATED AND DROPPED ON THE PISTON. THEY SAID IT HAD A GRENADE EFFECT AND SENT METAL EVERYWHERE, WHICH JAMMED METAL INSIDE PISTON. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST ME $3,500 FOR A USED ENGINE AND $5,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE WITH $2,200 LABOR COSTS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE.

Summary

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, IN PHOENIX, AZ, ENTERING AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR STALLED! WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY A CAR COMING FROM ANOTHER DIRECTION. IT DID THIS (STALLING) MANY TIMES. SCARY! APPARENTLY THEY ISSUED AN INTERNAL MEMO IN JUNE OF 2013. IN MAY, 2014 CHRYSLER SENT A LETTER TO US EXTENDING THE GAS TANK WARRANTY TO A LIFETIME COVERAGE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE "FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT, IN THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE STICKS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE STALLING AFTER REFUELING." "SIMPLY CONTACT YOUR DEALER TO HAVE THE RE PAIRS PERFORMED". CHALLENGE IS: THE DEALERS DO NOT HAVE ANY FUEL TANKS. GLENDALE, CA CHRYSLER HAS A WAITING LIST OF 2,276 YESTERDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014. WE ARE AND HAVE BEEN #8 AT HUNTER DODGE IN LANCASTER, CA SINCE EARLY MAY. WE NEVER FILL THE TANK. IT IS TOO GREAT A RISK! HELP PLEASE. *TR

Summary

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

Summary

IN JANUARY 2013, I FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT HERE ABOUT MY V8 ENGINE STALLING AFTER FUEL REFILL (GASOLINE TANK REPLACEMENT REPAIR BILL WAS $1540.93). THE NHTSA OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION SOON OPENED INVESTIGATION PE13016 INTO THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM. THE ODI INFORMATION REQUEST TO CHRYSLER CITED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, INCLUDING MINE. INVESTIGATION PE13016 WAS CLOSED EARLIER THIS YEAR BY NHTSA BECAUSE THE "CONDITION IS ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER'S EXTENDED WARRANTY" ON 2006 CHRYSLER 300 FUEL TANKS. THE CLOSING SUMMARY REFERS TO CHRYSLER SENDING LETTERS TO OWNERS ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SINCE I DID NOT RECEIVE AN OWNER LETTER, I TODAY CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER, 1-800-247-9753. THE ASSISTANCE CENTER REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE (BUILT WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME FRAME) CONTAINED A GAS TANK WITH THE SALES CODE "NSKS" AND THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS CARS BUILT WITH THE GAS TANK SALES CODE "NSK." NOTHING IN THE MATERIALS POSTED ONLINE WITH PE13016 INDICATE THAT THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT GAS TANKS, ONLY ONE OF WHICH HAD PROBLEMS. PLEASE, RECONSIDER WHETHER THE CHRYSLER RESPONSE IS ADEQUATE. MY VEHICLE, WITH THE "NSKS" GAS TANK, CLEARLY SUFFERED THE REFILL STALLING PROBLEM ADDRESSED IN PE 13016.

Summary

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HAS BEEN SURGING, TRYING TO CUT OUT, AND STALLING AT THE FIRST SEVERAL STOP LIGHTS AFTER FILLING THE TANK UP WITH GAS. CAR STALLS OR TRIES TO STALL SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT CAR WILL NOT DO THIS IF I ONLY FILL THE TANK UP TO 3/4 FULL, BUT IF THE TANK IS FILLED MORE THAN THAT, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER FILL UP. THE CAR WILL TRY TO STALL WHEN STOPPING AT SEVERAL OF THE FIRST TRAFFIC LIGHTS, DRIVING AFTER RESTARTING, OR DRIVING AROUND CURVES. THIS SEEMS RATHER DANGEROUS DRIVING LIKE THIS IN TRAFFIC. I JUST LEARNED ABOUT THE NHTSA PE13-016 THAT CHRYSLER HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE 19 GALLON GAS TANKS TO LIFETIME. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER IS ONLY HONORING A LIMITED AMOUNT OF VEHICLES WHOSE OWNERS HAD FILED COMPLAINTS BEFORE THE INVESTIGATION WAS ENDED. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER IS NOT MEETING IT'S OBLIGATION. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER DEALING WITH ANY RECALL FOR THIS CAR. *TR

NOW I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO FILL THIS CARS GAS TANK PAST THE HALF MARK AND HAVE TO STOP FREQUENTLY AS I TRAVEL FOR MY JOB.

Summary

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

Summary

ON THE FIRST OF JULY I WAS PREPARING FOR A TRIP AND STOP AT A GAS STATION TO FILL UP. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE GAS STATION MY CAR STALLED WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC, AND WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP SAFELY AND GET THE VEHICLE HOME, STALLING SEVERAL MORE TIMES. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I COULD DETERMINE WHAT HAD GONE WRONG AND I FOUND THAT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE GAS TANK ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT DUE TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE FED GOV AND CHRYSLER. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT CHRYSLER WAS GOING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTIES ON THIS GAS TANK TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONES WITHOUT A RECALL. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY ORDERED THE PARTS AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS BEFORE A REPAIR COULD TAKE PLACE. TWO WEEKS LATER I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. I WROTE AN EMAIL TO CHRYSLER ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION AND I WAS TOLD THE FOLLOWING "ACCORDING TO OUR RECORDS YOUR VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE X53 19 GALLON FUEL TANK EXTENDED WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE X53 REPAIR ARE CURRENTLY ON A RESTRICTION WITH THE DEALERSHIPS HAVING ACCESS TO ORDER 1 PART EVERY 14 DAYS FOR THE ONE REPAIR AND 1 PART EVERY 7 DAYS FOR THE OTHER REPAIR. AT THIS TIME WE RECOMMEND CONTINUING TO WORK WITH YOUR DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED." I HAS NOW BEEN 4 WEEKS AND I STILL TO NOT HAVE THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED. THIS RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO ME AND I THINK FOR OTHER DRIVERS WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!! I ASK THE NHTSA RELOOK THIS ISSUE AN ADDRESS CHRYSLER TO EXPEDITE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE TANKS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. *JS

THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM STOPPED, AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAS CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN LAKELAND, FL ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO AND THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WAS TO TELL ME TO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP. THAT IS NOT THE PROPER SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *JS

I WENT TO THE CAR TO DRIVE OUT OF HOME, ENGINE STARTS WELL, BUT GEAR LEVER IS STUCK TO PARK, WILL NOT DISENGAGE. I RESEARCHED A LITTLE ABOUT THIS AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER CAR AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY SPECIFIC CAR. I THEN CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-853-1403. I SPOKE WITH [XXX] (EMPLOYEE ID [XXX]) WHO TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I MADE IT CLEAR TO HIM THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BEING SOLD TO CONSUMERS LIKE MYSELF AND THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I REQUESTED FOR THE NAME AND EMAIL OR OTHER CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF RECALLS AT CHRYSLER AND [XXX] TOLD ME HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE OUT THAT INFORMATION. I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO GO FIX MY CAR MYSELF FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. I STOPPED AT THE CONVENIENCE STORE BEFORE I WENT HOME, SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WENT IN, AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT WOULDN'T. EVENTUALLY I GOT IT STARTED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND REVVED THE ENGINE A LITTLE TO KEEP IT FROM SHUTTING BACK OFF, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE ROCKS WERE INSIDE THE ENGINE, THEN TURNED OFF AFTER MAYBE 3-4 SECONDS OF RUNNING. GOT IT TOWED TO A LOCAL CHAIN GARAGE. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY GOT IT RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WERE ROCKS INSIDE OF IT AND THAT ITS PROBABLY A BROKEN ROD, AND THAT COULD HAVE DAMAGED MUCH MORE INSIDE. NOW I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR. THE REPAIRS MIGHT END UP COSTING THE VALUE OF THE CAR, BUT SELLING IT WITHOUT AN ENGINE IS BASICALLY WORTHLESS. I HAVE NO BACKUP CAR TO DRIVE IN THE MEAN TIME, OR MONEY/CREDIT TO BUY A NEW ONE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A WELL MAINTAINED CAR WITH UNDER 100K MILES ON IT, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE COMPANY SHOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE.

AFTER A FILL-UP (NOT TOPPED OFF) ON AUGUST 5, 2013 AS I MERGED ONTO THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE STALLED AND THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED BECAUSE MY GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK IN HIS CARSEAT AND IT WAS PEAK TRAFFIC TIME. ADDITIONALLY WITHOUT POWER I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME MANEUVERING THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY TO A SPOT WHERE THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY. AT THE FIRST OFF RAMP I PULLED OFF THE FWY BUT THE ENGINE KEPT STALLING WHENEVER I HAD TO SLOW DOWN OR AT A STOPLIGHT. THIS WAS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY GRANDSON AND ME. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER THE OUTCOME WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT MORNING I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A SERVICE REP AND WAS TOLD THAT HE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED IF CHRYSLER TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD NO'. FOR OVERALL SAFETY I HAD THE TANK REPLACED. ($1200.00) I ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP TO RELATE THE ENGINE STALL INCIDENT SO THAT THEY WOULD BE AWARE AND INVESTIGATE FOR SAFETYS SAKE. ESSENTIALLY I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I FIRST EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE STALL AFTER A FILL UP ON OCTOBER 12, 2012. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER CHECKING THE CAR THE INVOICE STATED ROAD TEST VEHICLE, DID NOT DIE AT STOPS OR WHILE DRIVING, NO CODES IN PCM. TRANSMISSION FLUID, ENGINE OIL FULL. THERE WAS LIMITED DRIVING OF THE CAR. MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECENT EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER CAR OWNERS.

AND I WANTED HER TO HAVE A 4 DOOR TO MAKE IT EASY ON HER WITH THE KIDS. *JS

ENGINE STALLING AFTER FUELING. WE FIRST SUSPECTED BAD FUEL, BUT SOON LEARNED WE WERE NOT ALONE IN THIS ISSUE. WE WAITED YEARS FOR THE LOCAL DEALER TO FINALLY ADMIT TO A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE. CHRYSLER THEN ISSUED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE TANK. AS SOON AS THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE TANK WAS ISSUED WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND WAS TOLD WE WERE # 6 ON THE LIST WAITING ON TANKS THAT ARE ON BACK ORDER. I CHECKED STATUS THIS PAST WEEK AND THE DEALER SAID HE NOW HAS A STACK OF BACK ORDERS FOR THESE TANKS. WHAT GOOD IS THE LIFETIME WARRANTY IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE PARTS SUPPORT. WE REALLY ENJOY THIS AUTO BUT THE STALLING IS GETTING MORE COMMON AND WE FEEL IT IS BECOMING MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

Summary

THE CAR STALLS RANDOMLY. THERE SEEM TO BE TWO SCENARIOS WHEN THE STALLS OCCUR. ONE SCENARIO IS AT IDLE (LESS THAN 1000 RPM). THE CAR WILL JUST STALL AT A RED LIGHT, AT A STOP SIGN, A ROLLING STOP, WHEN DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, ETC. THE OTHER SCENARIO IS AT WOT. ALL THE DASH LIGHT S FLASH ON AND OFF QUICKLY, THE CAR LURCHES VIOLENTLY, LOSS OF POWER, OCCASIONAL STALL. THESE TWO SITUATIONS MAY OR NOT BE RELATED TO EACH OTHER. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL TANK REPLACED ALREADY BECAUSE OF THE STALLING THAT WAS OCCURRING AFTER FUEL FILL UP. THAT TOOK CARE OF THAT SPECIFIC STALLING SCENARIO. THERE STILL REMAIN THESE TWO STALLING SCENARIOS. THEY ARE VERY WELL DOCUMENTED IN THE ONLINE FORUMS. MANY DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO ALL 5.7 AND 6.1 HEMIS IN THE 300S, CHARGERS, CHALLENGERS AND JEEPS. NO DEALERS CAN FIND A DEFINITIVE SOLUTION. I AND MANY OTHERS LOVE OUR CARS, BUT THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE. WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP ON CHRYSLER, WE JUST WANT A SOLUTION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. OUR CARS ARE STALLING RANDOMLY. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE GM STALLING DEBACLE. PLEASE HELP US PREVENT A CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP DEBACLE. BY THE WAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK IN HELPING TO FIND A SOLUTION ON THE FUEL FILL STALLING ISSUE. THE LIFETIME FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT WAS AN ADEQUATE SOLUTION. I MUST NOTE TO YOU THAT INCLUDED IN THE FIX WAS A STATEMENT SAYING THAT "THIS DID NOT REPRESENT A DANGEROUS OR LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION." I DISAGREE 100%. I ALMOST DIED A FEW TIMES DUE TO THE RANDOM STALLING AFTER FUEL FILL. WE ALL KNOW THE DANGERS OF RANDOM STALLING - JUST ASK GM CAR OWNERS. *TR

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

AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. IT WAS HARD TO RESTART, BUT FINALLY RESTARTED.

SINCE OOA 15 DECEMBER 2011, I CANNOT FILL MY FUEL TANK AND HAVE TO STOP IT BEFORE THE NOZZLE SHUTS IF OFF. IF I INADVERTENLY LET IT FILL UNTIL THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF (DOESN'T MATTER THE FUELING PUMP/STATION), IT WILL BUCK AND STALL FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MILES UNTIL SOME OF THE FUEL IS BURNED OFF IN THE TANK. *TR

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

THIS WAS DISCUSSED WITH LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER VEHICLES. AN INTERNET RESEARCH HAS INDICATED THIS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEMS FOR 2005-2007 CHRYSLER, DODGE VEHICLES TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE IS AN AFTER-MARKED ALUMINUM PART TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF THE ISSUE IS SUFFICIENT TO WARRANT AN AFTER-MARKED PART TO BE CREATED IT IS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO WARRANT INVESTIGATION AND CONSIDERATION FOR A RECALL.

I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (REN KIRBY CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC) BUT THE DRIVE TRAIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY LIMITED 3 MONTH 3,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT THE PLANETARY GEARS IN TRANSFER CASE ARE BINDING IN FRONT WHEEL PORTION OF AWD DRIVE-TRAIN, IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT SERVICE THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND/OR FRONT AXLE SEPARATION RESULTING IN LOSS OF ONE OR BOTH FRONT WHEELS. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS IN EXCESS OF $1000.00 AND THAT IS ONLY IF IT IS JUST THE GEAR ISSUE!

I HAVE ASKED CHRYSLER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR FIX FOR THIS AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANGER THAT HE WAS NOT AWARE. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I NEED FUEL TANK UNIT $1,158.00. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS AND ONLY FIX IS TO PAY FOR A NEW GAS TANK AS THIS IS ONLY FIX. CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS FOR NO CHARGE AS IT IS PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM.

Summary

VEHICLE STALLED IN PUBLIC ROADWAY FOLLOWING FILLING GAS TANK. STRUGGLED TO GET ENGINE RESTARTED. KEPT DYING. MANAGED TO GET RPMS UP BUT COULD NOT ENGAGE TRANSMISSION. AFTER SOME DELAY TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAVELED WAY. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO REPEAT DYING AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PERFORM RESTART SEQUENCE. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MILES. AT FIRST, THOUGHT ENGINE WAS EXPERIENCING VAPOR LOCK. ALSO HAD THOUGHT I HAD PURCHASED A BAD TANK OF GAS AND MY FUEL FILTER WAS PLUGGED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND TOOK THE CAR INTO LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AT THAT TIME. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY AND CHARGED ME FOR A NEW ONE PLUS INSTALLATION. WHEN I RETURNED HOME THE NEXT DAY SOME 250 MILES AWAY I FOUND THE CAR ACTED UP AGAIN AFTER I FILLED IT UP WITH GAS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WHO INDICATED THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND BEING MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY ALL COST FOR INVESTIGATING TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND THE ACTUAL WORK TO MAKE THE REPAIR WOULD BE ON ME. THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY IDEA AS TO THE POSSIBLE TOTAL COST. I OPTED NOT GIVE THEM A BLANK CHECK AND DID NOT HAVE THEM DISMANTLE THE CAR. I FOUND THAT I CAN AVOID THE STALLING IF I DON'T FILL THE TANK FULL. A SAD SOLUTION TO A FAULTY FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND HAVE RELIGIOUSLY CARED FOR IT. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY DOCUMENTATION FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING OFFERING TO CORRECT THE FLOAT (WHICH NOW THEY HAVE CONCLUDED IS THE PROBLEM). TO SET A DEADLINE ON JANUARY 2014 WITHOUT NOTIFICATION OF THE OWNERS IS POOR BUSINESS. IF THAT IS THEIR POSITION THAN I WILL DO MY BEST TO DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM BUYING THEIR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL BY NOTIFYING ALL THE OWNERS. I DO GET MAILERS FROM SEVERAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE ALL MY RECORDS!! SHAME ON YOU, CHRYSLER!!! *TR

I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEMS (AND AM NOW BEING STUCK PAYING A $95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE), AND CALLING CHRYSLER DIRECTLY WHO IS UNWILL TO TRY TO ASSIST. IF THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016), I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T BEING ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

Summary

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE CAR STALLED WHEN EXITING THE GAS STATION IN FRONT OF ONCOMING VEHICLES. WE WERE NEARLY REAR ENDED. THE CAR AGAIN STALLED AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT, THEN AGAIN WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. WE HAD A FULL TUNE UP PERFORMED ON THE CAR THINKING THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE, HOWEVER THE CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER A FILL UP. WE ARE NOW FORCED TO LIMIT REFUELING THE CAR TO ONLY ONE HALF TANK TO BE SURE THAT THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STALLING DOES NOT OCCUR PUTTING OUR FAMILY IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THE STALLING OCCURRED AGAIN JUST THIS WEEK AFTER ACCIDENTALLY ALLOWING THE FUEL PUMP TO CLICK OFF PRODUCING A FULL GAS TANK. EVEN KNOWING THAT WE WERE NOW IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WE WERE FORCED TO DRIVE THE CAR ON PUBLIC STREETS WHERE ONCE AGAIN IT STALLED EXITING THE GAS STATION, AT THE STOP LIGHT AND SHORTLY AFTER TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP LIGHT LEAVING OUR FAMILY STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. *TR

AFTER REFUELING, THE CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. ALL THE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. CAR WAS HARD TO RESTART. AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED, IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE YEARS. HAD IT LOOKED AT BY CHRYSLER WHILE STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. LATELY, THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME WE PUT GAS IN THE CAR. IF DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AFTER A FILL UP, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND TEMPORARILY LOOSE ACCELERATION. *TR

Summary

WE HAD JUST FILLED THE GAS TANK AND WERE HEADING OFF TO LAS VEGAS FOR A LONG WEEKEND WHEN AS WE DROVE LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY THE CAR STALLED. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND SHE CONTINUED TO JERK AROUND ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AGAIN. WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO A PEP BOYS SO WE PULLED IN AND TOLD THE CLERK WHAT WAS HAPPENING, HE SAID WE MAYBE GOT BAD GAS (MAYBE WATERED DOWN) AND TO TRY A GAS TREATMENT. WE DID AND IT STALLED AGAIN, WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE CAUTIOUSLY AROUND TOWN TESTING HER RELIABILITY. SHE SEEMED FINE SO WE DROVE ON TO VEGAS. SHE PERFORMED WELL FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN DID IT AGAIN AFTER FILLING THE TANK SO AGAIN WE ADDED GAS TREATMENT AND THINGS SEEMED FINE. A MONTH OR SO LATER THE SAME THING AGAIN WITH THE STALLING AFTER FUELING. SO FAR THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 8 TIMES SINCE THE FIRST TIME AND ONLY AFTER FUELING. WE ARE NERVOUS TO DRIVE ANYWHERE NOW. WE HAVE USED VARIOUS GAS STATIONS SO NOT ANY PARTICULAR BRAND MAKES THIS HAPPEN. IT CAN GO FOR SEVERAL WEEKS WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT WE JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MAY OCCUR AGAIN. WE LOOKED IT UP ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND FOUND THAT OWNERS OF CHRYSLER 2006 300C AND MAGNUMS AND CHARGERS ALL EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. PE13-016 WAS REFERENCED AS THE ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION NUMBER INTO THESE OCCURRENCES. CHRYSLER SUPPOSEDLY ISSUED A LIFETIME EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY TO THOSE AFFECTED AND NOTIFIED THEM PRIOR TO JAN. 2014. THE REST OF US ARE SCREWED. I AM ASKING FOR THIS INVESTIGATION TO BE REOPENED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE FAIR TO ALL OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR. MANY PEOPLE HAVE STATED THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR COMPLAINTS SINCE THE INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS INJUSTICE. *TR

Summary

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

AFTER FILLING CAR WITH FUEL AND DRIVE A FEW HUNDRED FEET CAR STARTS BUCKING AND STALLS. RESTARTS AND BUCKS AND STALLS A FEW MORE TIMES THEN RUNS FINE UNTIL NEXT TIME WE FILL UP. WE HAVE STOPPED FILLING CAR UP BUT JUST PUTTING 10 TO 12 GALLONS WHEN WE GET GAS. WE CANNOT FILL THE FUEL TANK UP OR TAKE A SERIOUS CHANCE OF HAVING CAR STALL IN TRAFFIC AS WE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS. I HAVE ASKED BECK CHRYSLER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR FIX FOR THIS AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANGER NEVER HEARD OF PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS AND ONLY FIX IS TO PAY OVER A $1000.00 FOR A NEW GAS TANK AS THIS IS ONLY FIX. I HAVE REPLACED VAPOR CANISTER AND VAPOR CONTROL VALVE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS FOR NO CHARGE AS IT IS PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM AND ALSO WORRY MY WIFE AND I WILL BE HURT OR KILLED BY THIS FLAW IN THE FUEL TANK. I HOPE WE CAN GET SOME HELP TO GET THIS REPAIRED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Summary

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT STARTED OCCURRING 12000 MILES AGO. TODAY WAS THE LAST STRAW. AFTER FILLING MY TANK OVER THIS PAST YEAR, I'VE LEARNED THAT I CAN ONLY FILL MY TANK TO 3/4 FULL TO AVOID THE STALLING AND SPUTTERING. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO HAVE MY IGNITION TURNED ON SO THAT I CAN WATCH WHEN THE FUEL GETS TO 3/4. THIS ALONE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD SPARK. TODAY I FILLED IT TO 3/4 FOREVER IT SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP JUST BEFORE IT GOT TO 3/4... WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE FULL INDICATOR WAS FULL. I KNEW THIS MEANT I WOULD HAVE A SCARY RIDE HOME. IT STALLED LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND TWO MORE TIMES WHILE WAITING AT THE FIRST LIGHT. I MADE IT ABOUT A MILE AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND IT CUT OUT AT ABOUT 35. I WAS MAKING THE TURN WITH NO POWER AND ALMOST HIT A POLE. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ONLY SELECTED VIN NUMBERS WERE SELECTED AGAINST PE13-016. LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND I DID NOT SEE ANY OWNERS WHO'S VINS WERE COVERED. WHERE IS A COPY OF THIS LIST AND HOW MANY VINS WERE ON THIS LIST? CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE A STAND AND OWN UP TO RECALLING ALL VINS FOR THIS MODEL MAKE AND YEAR. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A SELECTED RECALL. I AM DOCUMENTING THIS SAFETY CONCERN EVERYWHERE I CAN AS I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND HOPE SOMEONE TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY AND QUIT BLAMING THE OWNERS OF OVERFILLING THE TANKS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CONCERN AND IT ISN'T WITH OTHER MODELS AN MAKE. OWN UP CHRSYLER! *TR

I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE ANOTHER BLOCK BEFORE STOPPING AT ANOTHER TRAFFIC SIGNAL. AGAIN, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED. I GOT IT STARTED AND REACHED PARK MANOR NURSING HOME AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WHILE I WENT TO VISIT. WHEN I LEFT THE NURSING HOME, I WENT DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ABOUT 1/8 MILE TO A 5 LANE INTERSECTION THAT HAD A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED AGAIN JUST AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART IT THEN CAREFULLY LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL ENOUGH TO PUT THE GEAR SHIFT BACK IN "D" AND DRIVE AWAY. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED ANY ENGINE STOPS, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY DANGEROUS, SINCE YOU CANNOT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND NOTHING SEEMED TO TRIGGER THE FAULTS. EACH TIME THE ENGINE STOPPED, I NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR WAS DISPLAYED AND WATCHED IT RISE TO NORMAL WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN. *TR

Summary

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS EVERY TIME I FILLED MY GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED. I WOULD START IT AND IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED GETTING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR DEAD STOPPED ALSO AT INTERSECTIONS. EVERY TIME I STOPPED THE CAR AT A LIGHT AFTER FILL UP CAR WOULD STOP. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AS I FEARED I WOULD BE KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER JAN 14, 2014. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, EVAP CANASTER AND VENT VALVE AT A COST OF $1740.22. I ASKED IF THIS CONDITION WAS UNDER WARRENTY THEY SAID NO. I UNDERSTAND THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED ON THE FUEL TANKS AS PER PE 13-016. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRENTY. CHRYSLER IS NOT HONORING THEIR OBLIGATION TO REPAIR THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I WANT TO BE SURE MY VIN# IS INCLUDED IN THIS WARRENTY AS I WILL SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

VERY SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING MY CAR (PROBABLY DRIVEN LESS THAN 1000 FEET) THE CAR SHUTTERED AND STALLED. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY BUT THEN SHUT DOWN AGAIN WITHIN THE MILE. AGAIN, IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILLED THE TANK AND IT STALLED AGAIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY UPON EXITING THE GAS STATION. AGAIN, IT RESTARTED ON THE FIRST TRY AND I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP OR SINCE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT REFUELED SINCE; SO DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I DO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER AND IT IS DEEMED I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. GAS TANKS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT AND OUR CAR IS LOW MILEAGE AND IN MINT CONDITION. THIS SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY DESIGN PROBLEM. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND I SUSPECT WITH OTHERS WHO OWN THE SAME MODEL. (I DID NOT "TOP OFF" THE TANK ON EITHER OCCASION.) *TR

Summary

2006 CHRYSLER 300C, 5.7L HEMI ENGINE, I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE APPROX, 25 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT, WENT INTO THE BUSINESS. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START MY ENGINE, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT RUN. I CALLED ROADSIDE SERVICE FOR HELP. THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO RUN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. THE SHOP REPORTED TO ME THAT 3 CYLINDERS HAD NO COMPRESSION, THE VALVES HAD DROPPED DOWN INTO THE MOTOR, THREE SPARK PLUGS WERE CRUSHED. I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MODEL ENGINE, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 5.7 HEMI'S. THE VALVE RETAINERS FAIL AND LET THE VALVE DROP AND CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED. THERE IS A RETRO-FIT AVAILABLE TO CHANGE THE VALVE RETAINERS. I NOW HAVE A CURRENT BILL FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, REMOVAL AND INSTALL A USED ENGINE FOR $8,063.26. THIS CHARGE CAN GO UP IF THE RETRO-FIT HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET. I AM WAITING TO FIND OUT IF THE REPLACEMENT USED ENGINE HAS BEEN RETRO-FITTED. *TR

Summary

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

BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2011 WHEN THE CAR HAD 115260 MILES ON IT, I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR SOME TIME WITH THE CAR NOT SHIFTING INTO HIGHER GEARS WHEN TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE ON THE ROAD. THE CAR SEEMED TO WANT TO STALL BUT THEN WOULD PICK UP AND DRIVE FINE BUT IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR WOULD STICK IN A LOWER GEAR AND NOT GET OVER 58 MILES PER HOUR EVEN IF I HAD IT FLOORED. THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY INPUT SPEED SENSOR FOR THIS AT A TUNE OF $1041.99. NEXT ISSUE WITH THIS CAR WAS A TIE ROD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I KEPT HEARING A KNOCK NOISE THAT I JUST COULDN'T PUT MY FINGER ON BUT I TOLD THE GUYS AT THE GARAGE THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT TIRE AREA ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE TIE ROD WAS GETTING READY TO BREAK. THE CURRENT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL FOR ME IS THE FUEL.

Summary

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

THE VEHICLE BEGAN REPEATEDLY STALLING AFTER BEING FILLED WITH GAS AND AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS WENT ON FOR MONTHS. MY SON HAD THE VEHICLE IN ANOTHER TOWN AND WHEN HE RETURNED TO OUR HOUSE WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A FUEL VALVE PROBLEM. WE THEN TOOK IT TO THE POWAY CHRYSLER DEALER WHO AGREED WITH THE DIAGNOSIS. THEY SAID IT WAS A FUEL TANK VENT VALVE FAILURE CAUSING FUEL TO BE SUCKED UP INTO INTAKE PURGE LINE. EXCESSIVE FUEL WAS SEEN BY THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND THEY PROCEEDED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A NEW FUEL TANK. ALTHOUGH THIS IS APPARENTLY A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM IN 2006 CHRYSLER 300S, MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED IN A RECENT DECISION BY CHRYSLER TO EXTEND THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY. *TR

AFTER REFUELING (NOT OVER-FILLING) THE VEHICLE STALLS, BUCKS WHILE IN MOTION, DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE REASON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO THE POINT THE GAS PUMP KICKS OFF. THE DEALER SUGGESTS THE SOLUTION IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK, WHICH IS A TACTIC THAT DOES WORK IF YOU CAN PREDICT HOW FUEL YOU CAN PUMP BEFORE THE SHUT-OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE STALLING IS NOT IMMEDIATE AND WILL OFTEN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING ONCE YOU HAVE ENTERED MOVING TRAFFIC. ON LINE FORUMS SHOW THIS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH 300C OWNERS. APPARENTLY, MANY DEALERS ARE NOW SUGGESTING THE FUEL TANK BE REPLACED AS A SOLUTION. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THIS ACTUALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THIS OCCURRED I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING REAR ENDED BY FOLLOWING TRAFFIC. I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT NO ACCIDENTS HAVE NOT BEEN CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM.. *TR

Summary

WHEN I WOULD FILL UP WITH GAS MY CAR WOULD STALL AND SHUT OFF AS I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO STOP OR SLOW TO MAKE A TURN. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ON MAY 15, 2013 ABOUT MY CAR. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND I DID BUT THEY SAY WITHOUT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR 4 TO 5 DAYS AND BREAK IT DOWN. THEN I READ IN THE PAPER THAT YOU HAS CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION INTO ENGINE STALLING IN SOME 2006 CHRYSLER CARS AFTER THE COMPANY EXTENDED THE FUEL WARRANTY. NO ONE CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY (THEY SHOULD HAVE AFTER I CONTACTED THEM OF THE PROBLEM). I EMAILED THEM AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM WAS AND PROBABLY IS ON A LOT OF 2006 CHRYSLER AND BECAUSE THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ANYONE OF THE PROBLEM WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BILL. I HAD BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CAR FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS BEFORE I CONTACTED THEM. I WOULD FILL UP WITH GAS AND START HOME AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO STOP MY CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND NO ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. GOT IT STARTED AND CAME TO THE NEXT LIGHT AND STARTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AND ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING. GOT IT STARTED IN TIME AND GOING INTO THE GARAGE OF MY HOUSE AND IT STOPPED AGAIN. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS I WAS USING BUT, NO MATTER IF IT WAS EXXON, CITGO OR BP IT ALL WAS THE SAME. STALLING AND CUTTING OFF WERE A REGULAR OCCURRENCE. I DIDN'T GET TO GO ON VACATION LAST SUMMER BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. IT WAS A NIGHT MARE. I THINK CHRYSLER DID ME WRONG IN NOT CONTACTING ME ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AFTER I HAD CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. *TR

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SUDDENLY STALLING AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. IN 2006 CHRYSLER THOUGHT IT WAS THE COMPUTER AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THAT DID NOT WORK. I RETURNED IT MANY TIMES. THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO NEVER FILL UP THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE NHTSA ANNOUNCED THE 19 GALLON GAS TANK FOR THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300 WOULD NOW HAVE A LIFE TIME WARRANTY. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED. SINCE MY CAR IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 WITH A 19 GALLON GAS TANK AND I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 8 YEARS I AM SURPRISED MY CAR WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE NOT COVERED. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS FOR ME. *TR

AFTER REFILLING MY GAS TANK TO FULL, MY ENGINE STALLS FORCING ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY ENGINE. THIS OCCURS ONLY AFTER REFILLING MY GAS TANK AND LAST FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 10 MILES OR SO. ANOTHER KEY POINT IS THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW RPM USUALLY WHILE I'M DECELERATING BETWEEN 5~10MPH. I SEE THAT THESE SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY MANY PEOPLE. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WHEN I'VE CALLED THE (800#) AND VISITED MY LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF CHRYSLERS ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

Summary

EXACTLY LIKE THE SITUATIONS DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION (PE13-016), MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L ENGINE HAS STALLED AT LOW SPEEDS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AFTER REFUELING. MY LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ??SELECT?? VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN EXTENDED WARRANTIES BY CHRYSLER GROUP LLC IN RESPONSE TO PE13-016. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN A DIFFERENT PLANT THAN THE VEHICLES IDENTIFIED WITH PE13-016. CLEARLY THERE IS AN MALFUNCTION WITH THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE (MFCV) FUEL SHUTOFF FLOAT AT MORE THAN ONE MANUFACTURING LOCATION. ALTHOUGH THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THE LAST TIME I REFUELED AND PULLED ONTO THE STREET, THE ENGINE STALLED AND I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT STALLED 2 MORE TIMES DURING THE SAME INCIDENT BEFORE IT WOULD DRIVE MORE THAN A SHORT DISTANCE. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE IS AN INJURY OR FATALITY DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE IF I AM UNABLE TO REFUEL AND DRIVE WITHOUT THE RISK OF INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. *TR

RESTARTED KEPT SLIGHTLY MORE PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR, AND WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE STOP OR SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO REACH HOME IT HAS DID THE SAME THING ABOUT A MONTH LATER. THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE SURE OF THE INCIDENT NOT OCCURRING AGAIN IS TO GUESS HOW MANY MILES I HAVE GONE BASED ON CARS? APPROXIMATE MILES PER GAL SINCE YOUR AGENCY HAS COMPLETED YOUR INQUIRY ( NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 ) AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS AGREED TO EXTEND THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY TO " LIFETIME ", HOW DO I OBTAIN AN AUTHORIZATION TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED.

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

Summary

ON 2 OCCASIONS, 09/30/13 AND 10/02/13 I FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND WITHIN A MILE OF THE GAS STATION IT STARTED MISSING REAL BAD AND THEN SHUT OFF, ONCE WHILE MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE 95 AND THE OTHER TIME ON A LESS TRAVELED ROAD. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WHITTEN BROS CHRYSLER (RICHMOND, VA) A FEW DAYS LATER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE GAS CANISTER WAS CONTAMINATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A DETECTOR AND SOLENOID, TOTAL COST OF $516 AND WAS TOLD THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN THE TANK. SEEMS THE VALVE WAS STUCK OPEN AND ALLOWING GAS TO OVERFLOW INTO THE CANISTER. SINCE THE VALVE IS PART OF THE TANK AND CANNOT BE REPLACED A COMPLETE TANK IS NEEDED AT A COST OF $1200 TO $1500. THE NEXT WEEK I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT WHITTEN BROTHERS, [XXX] , AND TOLD HER TO GO AHEAD AND ORDER THE TANK. SHE SAID IT WOULD TAKE 3-5 DAYS TO BE RECEIVED AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT WAS IN. THAT NIGHT I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT A GAS TANK PROBLEM ON THE 2006 VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND SAW THAT IF YOU DID NOT FILL THE TANK YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT SHUTTING OFF. I FIGURED FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND I WOULD GO THIS ROUTE SO I CALLED AND CANCELLED THE ORDER FOR THE TANK. I WAS TOLD THE TANK ORDER COULD NOT BE CANCELLED BUT THEY WOULD KEEP IT IN INVENTORY. I HAVE ONLY PUT 600 MILES ON THE VEHICLE SINCE ALL THIS HAPPENED AND HAVE ONLY PUT GAS IN IT TWICE BUT DID NOT FILL IT EITHER TIME, ONLY ENOUGH TO GET THE GAUGE TO ABOUT 3/4. I HAVE TO REMEMBER WHEN I LOAN THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF MY SONS TO TELL THEM WHATEVER THEY DO PLEASE DO NOT FILL THE TANK IF THEY PUT GAS IN IT.

Summary

AFTER FILLING TANK, THE CAR STALLED ON EXIT FROM GAS STATION. THE CAR STALLED A FEW MILES LATER AFTER STOPPING AND THEN TRYING TO GO. FILLING THE TANK WITH GASOLINE HAS BECOME EXTREMELY SLOW SINCE THEN. 20 TO 30 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK. MOST RECENTLY ON 3/4/2014, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WHEN STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. THE STALLING AND SLOW FILL HAVE BEEN CONTINUING SINCE NOVEMBER 2013 AND HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY RECENTLY. THE NHSTA HAS A CASE NUMBER PE13016 WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY MY SITUATION AS A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK VALVE. IN THAT CASE, CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON GAS TANKS FOR 2006 CHRYSLER C CARS IN THE CASE FILE WRITE UP, BUT BOTH THE DEALER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTENCE OF THE CASE FINDINGS OR THE PROBLEM ITSELF. I AM HOPING THE NHTSA WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR FINDINGS AND SUPPORT THE COMPLETION OF MANUFACTURERS SOLUTION. RIGHT NOW CHRYSLER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE HONORING ITS SOLUTION. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WHEN WE BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLS. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED THE DEALERSHIPS IF THEY HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS AND THEY SAID "NO". FINALLY, ON 2/14/14 WE SAW ON THE NEWS THAT CHRYSLER IS EXTENDING THE FUEL WARRANTY TO LIFETIME DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE FUEL TANK CAUSING STALLING AFTER FILLING. WE AGAIN HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS AND CHRYSLER COMPLAINT CENTER AND THEY SAID BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A RECALL THEY CAN'T FIX IT. HOW CAN THIS BE IF THEY AGREED TO A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T HAVE A PART TO REPLACE UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. THE COMPLAINT CENTER SAID THEY CAN'T HELP US IF THERE ISN'T A RECALL. WE ALSO HAVE AN ARTICLE FROM THE DETROIT NEWS ON 2/18/14 THAT STATES THAT THE NTL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION ENDED ITS INVESTIGATION AFTER CHRYSLER AND A SUPPLIER DEVELOPED A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM EXTENDING LIFETIME WARRANTY COVERAGE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOUR DEPT. CAN DO TO HELP CONSUMER? WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO RAM US IN THE BACKEND ENTERING A FREEWAY BECAUSE OUR CAR STALLS? *TR

THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WITH A RED LIGHT AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS VALVE SEAT FAILURE WITH NO COMPRESSION IN ONE CYLINDER, OF WHICH I HAVE FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. THEY AND SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS SUGGESTED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GO FORWARD WAS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENGINE. AT 7 YEARS OLD THE CAR IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL, BUT THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. WHILE GM IS RECALLING CARS FOR STALLING, THEIR CAUSE WAS MUCH MORE MINOR AND THEY FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED IT - CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND I CONSTANTLY HEAR FROM THE DEALER ABOUT HOW THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING BEFORE WHEN EVEN THEIR MECHANICS ACKNOWLEDGE IT HAPPENS A LOT. *TR

NOT AN ACCIDENT ISSUE MY CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. I FOUND OUT THAT A SMALL PLASTIC PIECE HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE SPRING ENGAGED LEVER SYSTEM NOT TO WORK. FROM WHAT I COULD SEE ONLINE THERE WAS A RECALL #K39 - TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER - AND WHEN I CALLED IN REFERENCE TO THIS (1-800-853-1403 SHANNON) I WAS TOLD THAT THE CHRYSLER 300 WAS COVERED IN THIS RECALL BUT NOT THE CHRYSLER 300C. I ASKED WHY THE 300C WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER INFORMATON, THERE WAS NOT ANYONE ELSE I COULD SPEAK TO AND THAT MY ONLY COURSE OF ACTION WOULD BE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. SO I AM SUBMITTING THIS FORM IN HOPES OF FINDING OUT WHY THE 300C IS NOT INCLUDED WHEN THE 300C DEFINITELY HAS THIS ISSUE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SHIFTER BECAUSE OF THIS SMALL PLASTIC PIECES DEFECT.

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

IF THE TANK IS PARTIALLY REFILLED, THAT IS, THE GAS PUMP IS TURNED OF WHEN THE TANK IS ~ FULL, THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR. PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY RECURRING FOR ABOUT THE PAST 4 YEARS. *TR

Summary

IN JANUARY I FILED A SAFETY COMPLAINT ON THIS WEB SITE REGARDING THE STALLING OF MY CHRYSLER 300C AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK (ODI # 10561779). OVER THE LAST TWO AND A HALF MONTHS THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED, WITH THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THE PROBLEM WAS TO ONLY FILL THE GAS TANK TO 3/4 FULL. ON 2/24/14 I SAW THE ABC NEWS REPORT THAT STATED "US ENDS PROBE OF CHRYSLER ENGINE STALLING" AND THE ARTICLE STATES THEY INVESTIGATED 1200 COMPLAINTS AND FOUND 299 IN WHICH THE FUEL SYSTEM ALLOWED THE GAS TANK TO BE OVER-FILLED. IT ALSO STATED THAT "CHRYSLER UPDATED THE PART IN NEW CARS AND GUARANTEED IT FOR LIFE IN CARS NOW ON THE ROAD." WHEN MY CHRYSLER DEALER (WHO HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY CHRYSLER SINCE I BOUGHT IT THERE NEW IN 2/2006) WAS CONTACTED, HE STATED THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS WERE BEING COVERED. HE TOLD ME I COULD CALL CHRYSLER AND SPEAK TO THEM. I CALLED THE 1-800-992-1997 CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS MORNING. I EXPLAINED ABOUT THE STALLING AND THAT I HAD FILED A COMPLAIN BACK IN DECEMBER 2013 REGARDING THE CONSISTENT STALLING WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. I EXPLAINED MY CHRYSLER DEALER STATED MY CAR WAS NOT ON THEIR LIST, AND TO CALL CHRYSLER. THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE ONLY FIXING CERTAIN CARS AND MINE WAS NOT ONE OF THEM AND THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. WHEN I ASKED IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE EXACT SAME PART THAT WAS BEING REPLACED, WOULD THEY COVER IT, I WAS INFORMED THEY WOULD NOT. I AM UNSURE WHAT FACTORS GUIDED CHRYSLER ON WHICH CARS TO FIX, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THEY HAVE LEFT OUT AT LEAST MY CAR WHICH HAS EXACTLY THE SAME DESCRIBED PROBLEM I HAVE SEEN ON THE COMPLAINT WEB SITE. *TR

I'M SURE I HAVE BUT I USUALLY PUT 20/30 BUCKS IN. BUT I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT STOP N SHOP GAS SAVINGS AND RECEIVED A DISCOUNT. I TRIED TO PUT 50 IN BUT IT ONLY TOOK 49.00. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND I TRIED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND IT SHUT DOWN. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FLUKE SINCE I WAS BASICALLY AT A ROLL. I DROVE 2 BLOCKS AND AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IT DIED. I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A U-TURN TO RETURN HOME. THE CAR DIED 3 TIMES IN A 5 BLOCK SPAN. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY COUSIN WHO HAD A COMPUTER, NO CODES CAME UP BUT THE CAR SHUT DOWN TWICE. I PARKED THE CAR AND TOOK OUT A DIFFERENT CAR. MY COUSIN THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS OR A BAD OIL CHANGE WHICH I HAD DONE ON FEB 22, 2014 I JUST RETURNED HOME AND GOOGLED, "CHRYSLER 300C STALLING" AND FOUND THE ARTICLE THAT THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING, AND HERE I AM.

THE CAR STALLED AND RESTARTED ITSELF ON THE INTERSTATE OVER 10 TIMES YESTERDAY. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR STALLED 6 TIMES ON LOCAL STREETS AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED WITH THE STARTER 6 TIMES. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO NHTSA BEFORE. THE LOCAL PAPER REPORTED LAST WEEK (FEB 15, 2014) THAT CHRYSLER HAD ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AS THE FUEL TANK AND THEY WOULD EXTEND THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY FOR LIFE IN CARS NOW ON THE ROAD. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON FEB 17, 2014 AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997 ON FEB 17, 2014 AND THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD PASS IT TO THE TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT AND THEN GET BACK TO ME (CASE # [XXX]). I AGAIN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997 ON FEB 20, 2014 AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM (CASE # [XXX] FROM 2/17) AND THAT I WAS NOT SCHEDULED TO GET A LETTER. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM 2006 AND CHRYSLER HAS ALWAYS SAID IT MIGHT BE BAD GAS OR WHATEVER AND HAVE INDICATED THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED 3 SENSORS AND THE PCM OVER THE YEARS WITH NO CHANGE IN SYMPTOMS. CHRYSLER MIGHT HAVE OWNED UP TO THE PROBLEM WITH NHTSA PE13016, HOWEVER THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME STORY WITH ME OVER THE YEARS, FROM THE FIRST TIME I REPORTED THE CAR STALLING 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2006. DOES NHTSA TAKE CHRYSLERS WORD THAT THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM OR DO THEY CHECK UP ON THEM AND MAKE CHRYSLER FIX THE PROBLEM?

Summary

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 STALLS AFTER I FILL IT WITH GAS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A NUMBER OF TIMES. I NOW LONGER CAN FILL MY GAS TANK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS THE CAR STALLS WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. IT STALLED ON ME ON THE FWY. LUCKILY FOR ME, THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I WAS GOING 35 MPH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD I NEED A NEW GAS TANK WHICH WOULD COST ME OVER 1000 DOLLARS. THERE IS A LOS ANGELES TIME ARTICLE DATED MAY 14,2013 WHICH INDICATES NEARLY 200,000 COMPLAINTS REGARDING 2006 300C, DODGE CHARGER AND DODGE MAGNUM OF HAVING THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. UPDATED 03/12/14

Summary

VEHICLE HESITATES/STALLS AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. DEALERSHIP REPLACED PURGE SOLENOID AND CANNISTER AT A COST TO ME OF $538.22. AFTER REPLACEMENT, CAR DIED ON ME 5 TIMES AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL IN LESS THAN A 4 BLOCK AREA. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THE CUSTOMARY FIX WAS A NEW CANISTER AND FUEL TANK, AT AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $1,168.70 PLUS TAX, OR TO ONLY FILL TANK 3/4 OF THE WAY FULL WHEN FUELING. I CHOOSE NOT TO PAY APPROXIMATELY AN ADDITIONAL $1,200 AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL MY TANK TO FIRST FUEL HOSE SHUTOFF SINCE. HAVE HAD TO TRY TO GUESS HOW MUCH FUEL TO PUT INTO VEHICLE WHEN FUELING EVER SINCE. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WASN'T NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE A RECORD THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE, AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE FUEL TANK EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY COVERAGE LETTER FROM CHRYSLER. HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY CHRYSLER AT ALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 HEMI IT WILL STALL/ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. ACTS LIKE IT COULD BE VAPOR LOCK. IT'S TAKE A FEW TRIES TO START AFTER THIS HAPPENS. I WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW CLOSE CALLS. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. I AM SCARED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC JUST BECAUSE MY CAR WILL SOMETIMES STALL.

Summary

AFTER FUELING, CAR BEGAN TO SURGE, AND THEN DIE AT RANDOM FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. CAR STALLED AT MAJOR, BUSY INTERSECTION WHILE I WAS TURNING. I HAD A NEAR, POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT AS I HAD TO RESTART MY CAR WHILE ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING TOWARDS ME. THIS WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE. I HAD THIS HAPPEN A FEW MORE TIMES AND HAD ATTRIBUTED IT TO "BAD GAS" UNTIL I FOUND OUT ABOUT A FAULTY FUEL TANK/VAPOR PART IN CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND PAID $130.00 TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. RODE WITH SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO REFUEL CAR AND SHOW HIM THE PROBLEM. HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, VERIFIED MY COMPLAINT, THEN GAVE ME THE ESTIMATE OF COST TO REPLACE FUEL TANK. CHRYSLER CORP. HAS OFFERED A 25% DISCOUNT TO HELP WITH REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE FUEL TANK. THE WHOLE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE FAULTY PART IS BUILT INTO IT. THE COST QUOTE FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, PARTS AND LABOR IS $1,350.00. THE PRICE OF THE FUEL TANK ONLY, NO LABOR IS $905.00. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER 100%, THE FUEL TANK DID NOT WEAR OUT OR FAIL, THE PART THEY BUILT INTO IT FAILED. IT MAY APPEAR BY THE YEAR MODEL, (2006) THAT THIS AN OLDER MODEL BEGINNING TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, CAR HAS BEEN KEPT UP WITH REGULAR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE AND IS IN OTHERWISE MINT CONDITION.I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND NOW I AM AWARE THAT I CANNOT FILL MY FUEL TANK TO CAPACITY WITHOUT HAVING THIS ISSUE RE OCCUR. PLEASE, ANY HELP APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

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

Summary

LAST MONTH, I FILLED MY 300C WITH MID GRADE GAS, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS USED SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2006, AND THEN DIRECTLY ENTERED THE TURNPIKE. TRAVEL SPEED WAS 70 MPH. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR LATER, EXITED INTO A TURNPIKE PLAZA. THERE IS A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING AREA ABOUT 500 FEET AFTER YOU EXIT THE HIGHWAY. AS I SLOWED THEN COASTED AROUND THE TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I COASTED A SHORT DISTANCE UNTIL I STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED. I HAD BOUGHT GAS AND ENTERED THE TURNPIKE AT THAT SAME LOCATION MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. I HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS GETTING HOME. HOWEVER, LAST WEEK, I FILLED UP TANK AND EXITED MY LOCAL GAS STATION, WHICH SITS ON THE CORNER OF A MAIN ROAD AND A SIDE STREET. AS I TURNED TO GET ON THE SIDE ROAD, THE STREET LIGHT TURNED RED, AS I SLOWED TO STOP, THE ENGINE DIED. I GOT THE CAR RESTARTED AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STATED TO GO AND IT STALLED AGAIN. I GOT IT STARTED DROVE THE 2 MILES HOME AND AS I PULLED INTO MY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IT STALLED A THIRD TIME. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE ENGINE. THIS CAR HAS HAD ALL ITS MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT THE DEALER, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES AND HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THESE STALLINGS STARTED HAPPENING. *TR

I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE ACTUAL START DATE OR MILEAGE, BUT THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUED PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. EACH TIME I FILL THE FUEL TANK, THE CAR ENGINE STARTS MISFIRING AND COMPLETELY CUTTING OFF, IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS FOR SEVERAL MILES (PROBABLY 6 TO 8) IF I HAVE TOPPED UP THE TANK. THIS RESULTS IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND MORE THAN ONCE HAS NEARLY LET TO AN ACCIDENT. I NOW MAKE SURE THAT I STOP FILLING THE TANK AS SOON AS THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF, BUT THIS STILL HAPPENS FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. THE ENGINE RUNS FINE AT ALL OTHER TIMES, BUT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME I FUEL THE CAR. I RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM THROUGH THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY OWNERS OF THIS CAR HARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THE FIX REQUIRES AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.. *TR

Summary

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

Summary

AFTER RE-FUELING, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES MULTIPLE STALL CONDITIONS WHILE ON THE ROAD. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CAN OCCUR BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS MORE FREQUENTLY OCCURS WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK TO THE POINT THAT THE AUTO SHUT OFF ON THE GAS NOZZLE IS TRIPPED. THE CAR GIVES NO WARNING THAT ITS ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE AN ISSUE UNTIL THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF, MOST LIKELY WHILE YOU'RE ALREADY ON THE ROAD. RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY TO COMBAT THIS PROBLEM IS TO NOT FILL UP THE CAR MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE TANK. THIS METHOD KEEPS THE DRIVER GUESSING AS TO HOW MUCH GAS SHOULD BE PUMPED, AND CAUSES MORE FREQUENT FILL UPS AS YOU'RE NOT USING 1/4 OF THE GAS TANK CAPACITY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, AND ITS ONE THAT SHOULD BE COMMUNICATED TO ALL 300C OWNERS IMMEDIATELY. *TR

RE-STARTED A THIRD TIME AND IT STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND UPON DOING DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOUND THAT THE ROLL OVER VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WAS BAD WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO GET INTO THE EVAP VENT HOSE WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FLOOD AND STALL OUT. SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE TANK WHICH IS ON BACK ORDER TIL JAN 30TH (9 DAYS FROM NOW). THEY ARE EXPECTING IN 130 TANKS AT THE WAREHOUSE WHICH IS SUGGESTING THIS ISSUE IS BECOMING MORE COMMON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ABRUPTLY STALLS AS IF SOMEONE JUST TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. AND IT IS NOT A GOOD FEELING WHEN YOU HAVE TO MANEUVER THREE LANES WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. THE CAR MUST BE STOPPED COMPLETELY TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO GET THE CAR GOING TILL IT STALLS AGAIN 6 TIMES TONIGHT JUST TO DRIVE 10 MILES TO GET HOME. NO WARNING YOU CAN BE GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR OR 5 AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING THEY FIXED IT BUT NO HERE IT IS AGAIN STALLING OUT LESS THAN A WEEK FROM BEING AT THE DEALERS. SOME TIMES LESS THAN A DAY AFTER THEY HAVE HAD IT. WHY CANT CHRYSLER FIX THEIR OWN CARS THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT SEEMS NOT TO BE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM IT RUNS GREAT NO SPUTTERING OR JERKING JUST DRIVING ALONG AND ELECTRONICALLY IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. THEY HAVE REPLACED A MULTITUDE OF SENSORS AND THE PCM THE TCM AND SOME PARTS I CANT EVEN NAME AND EACH TIME THEY SAY ITS FIXED AND EACH TIME IT DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, LOST TIME AT WORK I CANT DRIVE MY CAR WITH THE FEELING OF SAFETY OR SECURITY. THE STRESS LEVELS IN MY FAMILY ARE SKY HIGH. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CHRYSLER TO FIX THEIR OWN CAR PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY AND UNJUSTLY BY THIS CAR AND COMPANY. PLEASE IF THEY CANT FIX THEIR OWN CAR WHO CAN? WE AS CONSUMER'S ARE BEING UNFAIRLY VICTIMIZED PLEASE HELP. *TR

Summary

I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR! THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS, RIGHT AFTER I FUEL UP, I LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN/OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON, THE ENGINE STALLS, I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER, AND MY CAR IS "DEAD IN THE WATER". IT IS REALLY FRIGHTENING! IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, AND TWO MORE TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING, BUT EACH TIME IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER GETTING GAS. LUCKILY, THESE MULTIPLE STALLING INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR DYING WHILE I AM ON THE FREEWAY, AS IT WOULD SURELY END UP IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. IF OTHER OWNERS OF A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THROUGH RECALLING THESE VEHICLES FOR REPAIR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

I BOUGHT THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300C NEW IN 2007 AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL MID 2013. ONE DAY AFTER GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS. IN ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE STATION THE CAR BUCKED THEN STALLED. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET IT STARTED. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT CAME TO A HEAD THIS WEEK WHEN I WENT TO THE GAS STATION FILLED THE TANK AND SOON AFTER LEAVING IT STALLED IN TRAFFIC -I RESTARTED IT AFTER ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT GOT GOING AND IT STALLED AGAIN. I RESTARTED WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY AND ENTERED THE ON RAMP----AS I WAS BUILDING SPEED IT STALLED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AND THIS TIME I WAS SO CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT. NOW I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS INCLUDING THE CANISTER, SOME OIL TEMP/PRESSURE SENSOR, CLEANED INJECTORS,REPLACED PLUGS, A COIL AND TOO MANY TO MENTION. THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT ME LIKE I AM SMOKING CRACK EVER TIME I COMPLAIN. IT WASN'T UNTIL YESTERDAY THAT I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO FIND THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM---I AM NOT CRAZY. HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED??? *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR SHUT-OFF AND STARTED BACK UP ON IT'S OWN WHEN I WAS STARTING FROM A RED LIGHT. GOING UP THE NEXT HILL IT DID IT AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS IT WOULD DO THIS AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND DIFFERENT SPEEDS. AT TIMES IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP ON IT'S OWN I HAD TO TURN THE KEY. EVENTUALLY, IT STARTING SHUTTING OFF AT THE GARAGE I SENT IT TO WHILE BEING RUN ON MACHINES. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT REQUIRED A NEW COMPUTER BE PUT IN. I AM FILING THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE FOR THE 2007 MODEL OF THE SAME CAR THERE WAS A RECALL AND FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE COMPUTER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY AN CHRYSLER MAINTENANCE WORKER THAT THE REASON THE 2007 WAS COVERED WAS THAT THE SUB-CONTRACTOR FOR THAT YEAR WAS PARTICIPATING WITH CHRYSLER TO PAY FOR THE RECALL OR PAYING IT THEMSELVES. HOWEVER, THE SUB-CONTRACTOR FOR THE 2006 MODEL WAS NOT. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR END PRODUCT AND SHOULD PAY FOR MY NEW COMPUTER AND INSTALLATION. THIS WORK COST ME OVER $2,100 FOR A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT. MY MECHANIC WAS TOLD BY ONE CHRYSLER DEALER THAT THERE JUST HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH 2006 MODELS WITH THE 2007 ISSUE TO WARRANT A RECALL. THEY EVEN PROVIDED THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC TO INSTALL THE COMPUTER AND RESET IT FOR THE SHOP I HAD THE WORK PERFORMED. *TR

WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO OF REFUELING, THE ENGINE STALLED AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. THE CAR WOULD RE-START WITH LITTLE DIFFICULTY ONLY TO STALL AGAIN VERY SHORTLY THEREAFTER. EVENTUALLY, AFTER PERHAPS 10 MINUTES OF STARTS/STALLS, AND RE-STARTS, OPERATION WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO REFUELING. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE RECURRED WITH EVERY REFUELING (AT LEAST 4 REFUELINGS SO FAR), RESULTING IN NUMEROUS ENGINE STALLS IN TRAFFIC. APART FROM THESE REFUELING-RELATED INCIDENTS THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY, AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC HAS SAID THAT "THE CAR'S COMPUTER" INDICATES ALL SYSTEMS ARE NORMAL. A GOOGLE SEARCH ON MY PROBLEM, HOWEVER, SUGGESTS THAT THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN CHRYSLER 300CS OF A SIMILAR VINTAGE. *TR

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS OVER A YEAR AGO. I HAD JUST FILLED UP GAS TANK AND PULLED OUT OF LOT STILL IN A PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING AREA. TURNED LEFT INTO A FAST FOOD PLACE AND CAR SHUTS DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND WENT INSIDE. CAME OUT STARTED CAR WAS PULLING OUT OF LOT INTO TRAFFIC AND CAR SHUTS DOWN AGAIN. THIS TIME NOT TO THE LIKING OF OTHER DRIVERS OR MYSELF. RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS DROVE HOME AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN TILL I WENT ON A TRIP A FEW MONTHS LATER. HALF WAY THROUGH THE TRIP I HAD TO REFUEL AND BINGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION LOT AND TURNING LEFT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT GOOD. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES AND CONTINUED MY TRIP ON INTERSTATE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN OK UNTIL JUST TWO DAYS AGO THE 28TH OF DECEMBER 2013. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AFTER FILLING UP AND TURNING LEFT AT SLOW SPEED CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE PULLING INTO A LOT. IT FINALLY RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. AFTER READING ON LINE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME I TOOK TO DEALER, THAT I WILL NEVER TAKE IT TO AGAIN. SHORT STORY IS THEY WANTED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AT THE TUNE OF $4500.00. I LEFT THERE AND DROVE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORST AND AFRAID TO FILL UP AND PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK AND RELATED COMPONENTS. PLEASE CHRYSLER FIX THIS PROBLEM, I LOVE MY 300C. *TR

Summary

AFTER REFUELING, CAR STALLS. THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION. THE STALL HAS TAKEN PLACE AT INTERSECTIONS, WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND WHILE DRIVING NO MORE THAN 5 -10MPH AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION.. CAR RESTARTS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IN NEUTRAL. WHEN EACH INCIDENT OCCURS, THE OIL ICON COMES ON, HOWEVER THE OIL LEVEL IS NOT LOW. ON ONE OCCASION AFTER HAVING BACKED INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH THE CAR GEAR SHIFT STILL IN REVERSE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR LURCHED. THE TIRES COULD BE HEARD SPINNING. THAT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE MY CAR COULD HAVE ROLLED INTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. ONCE THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATES APPROXIMATELY A HALF A TANK, NO STALLING INCIDENTS TAKE PLACE. CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS CONCERNED. SERVICE ADVISOR WAS AWARE OF CHYRSLER 300C STALLS AFTER REFUELING. FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM WAS SERVICED/CLEANED. THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. CAR STILL STALLING. REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR, HOWEVER I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW OF THE STILL ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME FROM ATLANTA AND I STOPPED TO FILL UP IN MACON. AS I DROVE UP THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO I-75 THE CAR STALLED LEAVING ME PARTIALLY ON THE HI-WAY. A SEMI NARROWLY AVOIDED REAR ENDING ME. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE AWAY. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON ON THIS TYPE OF CAR AND THE ONLY FIX IS A NEW GAS TANK, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. *TR

Summary

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MOST RECENTLY 12/21/2/13 AFTER FUELING UP MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C TO A FULL TANK (NOT OVERFILLING) MY CAR RUNS ROUGH AND STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR WITHIN ONE MILE OF LEAVING THE GAS STATION. MY CAR WILL NOT RESTART FOR AT LEAST 30-45 SECONDS OF CRANKING THE ENGINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BY PULLING OUT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR STALLS. DEALERSHIP IS RECOMMENDING A NEW GAS TANK AND VAPOR CANISTER WHICH IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR ($1,500 -$2,000) AND THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL BE RESOLVED AND THERE ARE NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

Summary

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 HEMI. HAVE OWNED CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND NEVER OVERFILLED GAS TANK AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I GOT A FULL TANK OF GAS, THEN STARTED CAR AND PULLED AWAY, A BLOCK LATER THE CAR DIED. THIS HAPPENED 7 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 2 MILES TO GET CAR HOME. CAR STALLED, RPM'S DOWN, STARTING JERKING. I KEPT IT IN NEUTRAL TO KEEP IT FROM DYING. WENT HOME AND GOOGLED PROBLEM - SEEMS TO BE EITHER 3 THINGS - FUEL VAPOR CANISTER (LOCATED ABOVE RIGHT REAR TIRE), FUEL VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE (LOCATED IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT), OR ROLLOVER/CHECK VALVE (LOCATED IN FUEL TANK). TOOK CAR TO FIRESTONE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID THAT VAPOR CANISTER AND PURGE VALVE ARE WORKING AND IT WAS BE THE COMPONENT IN THE TANK. SAID IT WILL COST $1,500 FOR NEW TANK. I SAID NO WAY, I'LL WAIT TILL THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS, WHICH THERE [XXX] WELL BETTER BE. IF THIS CAR STALLED ON EXPRESSWAY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SCREWED. THERE IS A FAST FIX INSTEAD OF REPLACING ANYTHING - EITHER FUEL TANK ONLY 3/4 FULL, OR LEAVE GAS CAP OFF AFTER FUELING, SO THAT NO PRESSURE IS IN TANK AND VAPOR IS BURNED OFF THROUGH FILLER NECK, INSTEAD OF THROUGH ENGINE. I FEEL LIKE CALLING CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TOMORROW AND SEEING WHAT THEY SAY. THIS CAN'T BE TOLERATED. THE VAPOR CANISTER IS AN EMISSIONS THING THAT TAKES FUEL VAPOR AND BURNS IT THOUGH ENGINE, BUT IF IT MALFUNCTIONS, IT WILL SUCK UP FUEL AND FLOOD ENGINE. SO HOPEFULLY THE MORE PEOPLE THAT COMMENT ON HERE, THE MORE CHANCE THERE WILL BE A RECALL SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO FORK OVER $1,500 FOR A DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING ISSUE, THAT THE DEALER NEEDS TO FIX FOR FREE. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Summary

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL (NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK) THE CAR STALLED UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE RISK IS INCREDIBLE! THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AS TRAFFIC WAS ALL AROUND ME HONKING AND I WAS NEARLY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND!! ONCE WAS A FLUKE I THOUGHT AND MAYBE BAD GAS. I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY NAVIGATE ON BACK STREETS TO THE HOUSE AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. AGAIN I HAD THE STALLING PROBLEM, LUCKY FOR ME I HAD PICKED A LIGHT TRAFFIC TIME TO FILL UP. I SWITCHED GAS STATIONS AFTER THAT AN NOW ONLY GET GAS AT SHELL STATIONS HEARING THAT THEY HAD THE BEST GAS QUALITY OVERALL. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK FULL. THE STALLING PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING NOW TWO NEEDLE WIDTHS BELOW THE FULL MARK WHICH MEANS SOMETHING IS GETTING WORSE. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK DUE TO A FAULTY VALUE AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. THE COST IS $1,315. THE RISK OF GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AT ANY SPEED IS INCREDIBLE AND VERY REAL!! I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THE FAULTY TANKS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING; HOWEVER,THE RADIO AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS STAYED ON.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE A PROBLEM ON ANY OF THE 3 OCCASIONS NOR HAVE ANY CODES BEEN PUT OUT. ON 11/21/2013, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY. PRIOR TO THESE 3 INCIDENCES, I HAD NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM NOR ANY MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, WHICH I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2005. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR AFTER REFUELING, MY TANK WAS HALF FULL WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED. THE REPAIR FACILITY HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 7 DAYS NOW AND THE CAR HAS STALLED ON THEM SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE FACILITY HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER TECHNICIANS AND HAS RESEARCHED THE TECHNICAL BULLETINS, WITH NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE REPAIR FACILITY DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE SOUNDED RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY EVEN THOUGH THE CAR DIDN'T KICK OUT ANY CODE SO THEY CHECKED THE THROTTLE BODY AND NOTED THAT ITS VOLTAGE WAS OUT OF THE SPECIFICATION RANGE SO THEY REPLACED IT AND UPDATED/RESET THE CAR'S COMPUTER, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS THE CAR HAS STALLED SINCE THEY'VE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

MY CAR (300C AWD) STALLS AFTER FILL UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON A TRIP FROM CALIFORNIA TO GEORGIA. I WAS FILLING THE CAR THREE TIMES A DAY. MOVING FROM THE FUEL ISLAND TO THE INTERSTATE ON-RAMP THE CAR WILL DIE MAKING BRAKES AND STEERING LOSE POWER AS WELL. THE CAR WILL RESTART AND FUNCTION CORRECTLY UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP OR IT MAY STALL ONCE OR TWICE AGAIN. THE CONDITION DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN STOPPING WITH OUT FILLING. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART WHILE ROLLING BUT THIS COULD BE DIFFICULT IN WHITE KNUCKLE SITUATIONS. THERE IS ANOTHER CONDITION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED: SOME TIMES WHEN STARTING TO FILL UP, THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF DUE TO "SPLASH BACK" IN THE CAR'S FILLER TUBE. I CAN REMEDY THIS BY REPOSITIONING THE PUMP NOZZLE TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. ONCE STARTED, I CAN COMPLETE FILLING THE CAR. MY MECHANIC WAS AT A LOSS WITH SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C WAS A CAR THAT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT HAD LESS THAN 90,000 MILES AT THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS IN A DRIVE-THRU AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR TO SAVE FUEL. WHEN I WENT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE CAR MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE THAT SOUND SIMILAR TO STICKING A BASEBALL CARD IN BICYCLE SPOKES BUT MUCH LOUDER AND STRONGER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO CHUCK CLANCY CHRYSLER AND I WAS INFORMED THAT A VALVE SEAT HAD DROPPED AND DESTROYED SEVERAL CYLINDERS. THE BILL WAS $3,000. THIS CAR WAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED BY MAINTENANCE RECORDS AND THE OIL CHANGED WITH PENNZOIL PLATINUM ULTRA. TO ADD TO THIS STORY, I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS OUT ANOTHER $4000 FOR THIS REPAIR. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER IT AND GAVE ME THE COLD SHOULDER. I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR

Summary

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO. MY CAR STALLS FOR NO REASON IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, STOPPED AT A LIGHT, ENTERING OR EXITING THE FREEWAY, WHILE I AM DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS AND WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IF I AM DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS OR FREEWAY THE CAR DOES NOT STALL BUT MOMENTARILY DIES (FOR A HALF SECOND). MY ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND ALL THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD GO TO 0. THE CAR WILL THEN COME BACK TO LIFE AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE NORMALLY BUT CAN "DIE" AGAIN A FEW MOMENTS LATER OR NOT AT ALL FOR DAYS OR MONTHS. IT FEELS LIKE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY HAS THERE IS NO COMMON CHARACTERISTIC BETWEEN EACH INCIDENT AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY COMMON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAT CAUSES IT. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN BUT HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT IS A CONCERN. SOME DAYS IT WILL HAPPEN REPEATEDLY THEN NOT HAPPEN FOR MONTHS. LATELY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY FOUND NO CODES AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THERE WAS AN ISSUE AS THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THE SECOND TIME I HAD A ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY FOUND A CODE FOR TCM SENSOR BUT STATED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID I HAD TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT CAUSED A SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION, THEY REMOVED THE EXCESS FLUID BUT THE ISSUE HAS STILL PERSISTED. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT DID NOT TRIGGER ANY CODES. *TR

Summary

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ENGINE CUTS OUT EVERY TIME I COMPLETELY FILL MY GAS TANK. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST DETECTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. SINCE, I HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL WHEN RE-FUELING. SOMETIMES I STILL ENCOUNTER ENGINE SPUTTERING AND EVENTUAL LOSS OF POWER AND STEERING CONTROL. I TRY TO MITIGATE AND CONTROL THE SAFETY RISK AS BEST AS I CAN. I HAVE TO QUICKLY THROW THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND CRANK THE ENGINE TO RESTART SO I CAN AVOID BEING A SAFETY THREAT TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. ALSO THANKS TO CHRYSLER, MY WIFE REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE CAR WITH ME AS IT POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AT ANY SPEED ON ANY ROAD. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE IN A CAR BEFORE. THIS IS MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR I BOUGHT JAN 6, 2006 AT THE AGE OF 23. I REGRET MY DECISION EVER SINCE. I HAVE LOST A TON OF FAITH IN CHRSYLER PRODUCTS AND THE BRAND IT REPRESENTS. THE ONE THING CHRYSLER SHOULD DO, IS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND OFFER THE FIX AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

Summary

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

Summary

I HAD JUST MADE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO AN ACCESS ROAD GOING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH. I NOTICED MY CAR WAS BUCKING AND SEEMED TO SPUTTER. FIRST THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS. ONCE THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, I HAD LOST ALL POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN BUT I MANAGED TO TURN OFF ONTO A SIDE STREET AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY I HAD NOT YET MADE IT ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY, WHICH BY THE WAY WAS DURING 5 O'CLOCK RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC! I SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT STARTED UP AND WAS DRIVABLE. IT STILL SPUTTERED SOME ON THE WAY HOME. I AM HOPEFUL I CAN MAKE IT BACK INTO TOWN AND TAKE IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. MY CAR IS A ONE OWNER CAR THAT MY LATE HUSBAND BOUGHT FOR ME. I LOVE THIS CAR. ALTHOUGH IT IS BEGINNING TO HAVE ISSUES AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE MONEY I CAN KEEP PUTTING INTO REPAIRS. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE LATEST ONE WAS REPLACED IN APRIL, 2013. I HAVE HAD THE MODULE FRONT CONTROL & IGNITION SWITCH BOTH REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP @ 83,918 MILES 5/31/2013. I HAVE IT SCHEDULED FOR A TUNE UP AND FUEL INJECTOR TUNE UP IRONICALLY TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE THE STALLING ISSUE HAPPENED. I HAVE FELT THE CAR SPUTTER AND BUCK BEFORE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE FOR A TUNE UP. HOWEVER, NOW I BELIEVE THIS IS ALL TOGETHER A SEPARATE ISSUE. HOPEFULLY CHRYSLER WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED AT NO EXPENSE TO THE OWNER. *TR

Summary

I BOUGHT MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C BRAND NEW & I'VE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. IT WAS PURCHASED STRAIGHT FROM DAIMLER/CHRYSLER, ORDERED & BUILT TO MY SELECTED SPECIFICATIONS THROUGH CHRYSLER. I SET THE ORDER IN FEBRUARY 2005, IT WAS BUILT & FINISHED 11 NOV 2005. THIS WAS DONE WHILE I WAS FINALIZING MY CAREER IN ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY SERVICE & RETIRED. I RETURNED TO THE U.S. 7 JAN 2006 & THAT'S WHEN I SAW & PICKED MY THEN BRAND NEW 300C. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT CAR EVER SINCE. I TRULY LOVE THIS CAR & TO THIS DAY STILL LOVE THIS CAR. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY ONE OTHERTHAN PUTTING GAS IN IT, VERY DEPENDABLE CAR. IN 2007 JUNE I WAS DIAGNOSED CANCER OF THE BONE & BLOOD (MULTIPLE MYELOMA, STAGE 4).

THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN ONCE I GOT IT STARTED IT WOULD SPUTTER, KICK, & STALL, THIS WAS REPEATED FOR SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE HWY & WAS FINE TIL I HAD TO FILL IT UP AGAIN FROM THEN ON IT CONTINUED TO DO SO EVERY FILL UP. I DID RECEIVE AN INDICATION OF THE GAS CAP (REPLACED) THEN JUNE 2013 I FILLED IT UP AS USUAL & IT SHUT OFF & IT WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART, I WAITED & START IT AGAIN IT DID SO I PULLED ON TO THE ROAD, IT BEGAN TO STALL, SPUTTER, & BUCK, AS I CREPT HOME, I HEARD A LOUD CRACKLING SOUND LOST ALL POWER, HAD IT TOWED WAS TOLD #4 VLV HAD FELL DOWN IN THE CYLINDER, AFTER 3 MONTHS 2008 5.7L ENGINE PUT IN, PROBLEM STILL EXIST, EVAP SOLENOID, CANISTER, PUMP, & FILTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS I WENT ABOUT 2-3 MILES ON US1 IN WAKE FOREST, AFTER STOPPING AT THE LIGHT AT US1A I PROCEEDED TO TURN ONTO US1A AND MY CAR STALLED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO MANAGE TO TURN ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR TO CONTINUE TO PROCEED. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT ANOTHER 1 TO 2 MILES IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS I LOSE POWER STEERING WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. *TR

Summary

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

Summary

MY VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT ON ME INTERMITTENTLY. IT MOSTLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER I GET FINISHED PUTTING GAS IN MY CAR. UNLIKE MOST OTHER STORIES I'VE READ ABOUT OVERFILLING THE GAS TANK, THIS HAPPENS TO ME SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT JUST A HALF OF A TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR. NOW, AS OF NOV. 7, 2013, IT'S DONE IT WELL OVER 100 TIMES; THAT'S SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN MAY. THE DEALERSHIP IS A COMPLETE SCAM. THEY KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT. THEY'VE CHARGED ME TO FIX EVERYTHING FROM EGR VALVES TO PCMS TO SPARK PLUGS. NOTHING HAS WORKED.THEN FINALLY I DECIDE TO DO SOME DEEP RESEARCH, THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO FILE MY COMPLAINT. THERE ARE 2 MAJOR ISSUES I HAVE. WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I'LL LOSE ALL POWER AND THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR A SPLIT SECOND, THEN IT'LL KICK BACK IN. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, TO SAY THE LEAST. THE MORE FREQUENT PROBLEM, IS THE CAR COMPLETELY CUTTING OFF WHILE EITHER AT IDLE, OR TRAVELING AT A LOWER SPEED. BOTH SITUATIONS HAPPEN ALMOST ALWAYS DIRECTLY AFTER I PUT GAS IN MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS SO MUCH THAT IT IS BECOMING UNBEARABLE. SOMETIME IT STARTS BACK UP, AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO. IT'S RIDICULOUS. I DON'T MIND PAYING TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. HOWEVER, DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, KNOW THAT'S THE PROBLEM, AND LET'S GET IT FIXED. DON'T RUN ME THROUGH $3,000 WORTH OF REPAIRS, KNOWING THAT YOU'VE GOT COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME MODEL AND MODEL YEAR, COMING IN AROUND THE SAME TIME, COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. THAT'S NO COINCIDENCE. AND QUITE FRANKLY, IT'S FRAUDULENT. I'VE GOT MY 5 YEAR OLD SON RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME MY CAR STALLS OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOSES POWER, WITH ANOTHER CAR TAILGATING ME? WHAT IF IT'S A TRACTOR TRAILER NEXT TIME? WILL THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BRAKE OR PLOW INTO THE BACK OF ME? MORE UNNECESSARY STRESS AND WORRY FOR THE LOYAL CONSUMER. THANKS CHRYSLER. *TR

Summary

I BOUGHT A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN MAY OF 2006. AT APPROXIMATE 25,000 MILES IT BEGAN TO SHUT OFF AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY AT THE GAS STATION. I'VE ALWAYS PUT THE CORRECT FUEL IN MY CAR AS RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUAL AND THE DEALERSHIPS I'VE TAKEN HER TO FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. AT INTERMITTENT INTERVALS THROUGHOUT THE OWNERSHIP OF MY CAR, IT HAS SHUT OFF, STRANDED ME ON DARK ROADS AND HAVE ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON HIGHWAYS, BUSY STREETS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN DEALERSHIP MAINTAINED & I'VE ADAMANTLY FOLLOWED THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD SPARK PLUGS, FUEL PUMP, WATER PUMP, THERMOMETER CHANGED ALL NEEDLESSLY. I'VE SPENT CLOSE TO $4000 IN REPAIRS AND NEEDLESS PARTS.THE DEALERSHIP HAS RAN VARIOUS DIAGNOSTICS AND HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING WRONG. THE CAR NOW HAS CLOSE TO 76,000 MILES ON IT AND WILL SHUT OFF IF THE GAS TANK GOES TO THE QUARTER OF TANK MARK OR WHEN IT'S FULL. I NEVER TOP IT OFF BECAUSE I'VE BEEN WARNED NOT TO TOP OFF MY GAS INTAKE. I'VE SOUGHT SECOND OPINIONS ON WHY THIS MIGHT BE HAPPENING AND THE DEALERSHIPS IN NY, NJ AND FL HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT THEY RECEIVE FOR ALL OF THE CHRYSLER 300 SERIES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT COULD POSSIBLY COST LIVES PLUS COST AN EXPENSIVE LOSS FOR THIS CAR. I'VE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS PLUS RESEARCHED OTHER FORUMS, AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT WHEN THE CAR IS FUELED ESPECIALLY AFTER THE CAR REACHES 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS OCT. 30, 2013 IN WHICH I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY CAR SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. THE CARS BEHIND ME STARTED TO MOVE AND THE CAR DIRECTLY BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER GASOLINE FILL UP, VEHICLE STALLS AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION. MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN FIRST QUARTER MILE AFTER FILL UP AND SOMETIMES WITHIN FIVE MILES. LATER OCCURRENCES MAY HAPPEN UPON MAKING LEFT TURN. TOOK TO DEALER AND VEHICLE CHECKED OUT. VAPOR CANISTER AND PURGE VALVE TESTED OK. WAS TOLD FUEL CONTROL VALVE MAY BE PROBLEM BUT THE FUEL TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE PART. COST WOULD BE CONSIDERABLE. CONDITION HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR UPON FILL UP FOR OVER A YEAR NOW WITH RARE EXCEPTION. I FIND IT QUITE DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS WHEN VEHICLE STALLS IN TRAFFIC AS IT TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO GET RESTARTED AND MAY REOCCUR AGAIN. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO REPAIR TOMORROW, 31 OCTOBER 2013.

IM HOPING THIS POST WILL GET US SOME HELP AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING WITH OUR 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2011. IT HAD LESS THAN 33,000 MILES AND WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT THE FIRST YEAR, BUT THEN THE TROUBLE STARTED AND IT IS NOW AN ONGOING NIGHTMARE. IT STARTED STALLING AND DYING CONSTANTLY, USUALLY WHEN WE WERE GOING SLOW OR STOP AND GO, BUT A FEW TIMES WHEN DRIVING 35-45 MPH. WE HAD PURCHASED A 2 YEAR/20,000 ADDED WARRANTY WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR (EXPIRES IN NOV 2013 WHICH HAS ME WORRIED) SO ALL OF THE SERVICING AND REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE AT OUR LOCAL DEALER. SO FAR, THEY HAVE DONE THROTTLE BODY CLEAN, CLEANED A/F BOX AND REPLACED FILTER, COOLANT FLUSH, STEERING SYSTEM FLUSH, FUEL KIT, CHANGED OUT FUEL TANK, VAPOR CANISTER, LEAK DETECTION PUMP FILTER, NEW FACTORY BATTERY, COMPLETE TUNE UP, OIL CHANGES, AND MORE. NOT ALL OF THIS WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, SO WE HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF OUR OWN MONEY ON REPAIRS AND RENTAL CAR ALL THE TIMES IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE IT IS OUR ONLY CAR. ON OCTOBER 16, WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS DYING AGAIN AND WOULDN'T STAY CRANKED ONCE PUT IN GEAR AND START MOVING. AS OF THIS MORNING, STILL NO WORD FROM THEM ON WHAT THEY THINK IT IS THIS TIME, AND YET ANOTHER RENTAL BILL WHILE WE WAIT. IN THE TWO YEARS WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR, WE HAVE ONLY PUT ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT, IT HAS LESS THAN 43,000 MILES. THIS CAR HAS WAY TOO FEW MILES AND HAS BEEN TOO WELL TAKEN CARE OF FOR IT TO BE HAVING THIS MANY PROBLEMS. ALL THE THINGS THEY HAVE DONE AND ITS STILL DOING THE SAME THING! THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN IT DIES, YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE TO NONE OF THE STEERING AND BRAKES. LUCKILY, WE HAVE NOT HAD IT DIE IN MAJOR TRAFFIC YET, BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW FOR FEAR THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE IN A WRECK BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK FROM A START OF 1/8 TH TO FULL TANK, THE CAR STALLED AFTER LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION ABOUT 200 FEET DOWN THE ROAD WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE RESTARTED I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOPPED POSITION BUT DRIVING POWER TRAIN WAS FAIRLY ERRATIC AS THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO LURCH FORWARD OR ACCELERATE UNPREDICTABLY THEN WOULD PULL BACK BY NEARLY STALLING. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE REACHING MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WHILE IN NEUTRAL LOPED SUBSTANTIALLY FROM 2000 RPM TO 100RPM SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE STALLING. ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR AFTER STALLING WAS SUCCESSFUL. LEAVING THE CAR PARKED AND OFF FOR 60 MINUTES HAD NO BENEFICIAL EFFECT. AFTER RETURNING THE STARTING WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WERE NOT LIT UNTIL THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. THE CAR CONTINUES TO BE IDLE ERRATICALLY BOTH WHILE IN PARK AND IN DRIVE AND AT SLOW SPEEDS. *TR

Summary

WHEN I FILLED THE FUEL TANK THE CAR WOULD STALL LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION. THEN IT STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOW OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT OR SPEED BUMPS. AT THESE TIMES I DID NOT REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED UNTIL I SAW THE OIL LIGHT ON. THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT SUGGESTED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH BE CHANGED. THE PROBLEM STILLED PERSISTED SO I HAD THE CAR TUNED UP. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED AND SO I STOPPED BUYING A PARTICULAR BRAND OF GAS BECAUSE WHILE LEAVING THE STATION WHICH IS ON THE INCLINE THE CAR STALLED AND A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON AND ONE INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED AND STOPPED TOPPING OF THE TANK BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY. I HAVE TO DRIVE TWO MAJOR HIGHWAYS FOR DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS CAR STALL LIKE THIS IN MAJOR TRAFFIC. THE CAR WILL BE GOING ALONG SMOOTHLY AND THEN IT STARTS LURCHING LIKE I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR GOES IN TOMORROW TO BE CHECKED AGAIN.I HAD DRIVEN 25 MILES SINCE THE LAST FILL AND THE CAR ACTED SO ERRATIC THAT I AN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHERE IT IS GOING WHEN IT STALLS (NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. *TR

Summary

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

I WAS ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO ROUTE 495S, ABOUT TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY, WITH CARS BEHIND ME, AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THIS WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BREAK-DOWN LANE AT THE END OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP. YOU GO DIRECTLY ONTO THE HIGHWAY. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED THERE WAS NOWHERE FOR ME OR THE CARS BEHIND ME TO GO. THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO ATTEMPT TO STOP, TOO. ONE OF THE RESTART ISSUES WITH THIS CAR IS THAT IT MUST BE STOPPED AND IN PARK BEFORE YOU CAN RESTART THE ENGINE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RESTART THE CAR WHILE IT IS MOVING. *TR

AN HOUR LATER WHEN I TOOK THE CAR OUT TO GO SHOPPING, IT HESITATED/JERKED FORWARD TWICE AS I WAS MAKING 2 LEFT TURNS LEAVING THE SUBDIVISION. THEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER CALLING MY HUSBAND, HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED. HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, THEY SAID THEY HAD NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I FELT EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET OR IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR STALLED. MY HUSBAND LET ME KNOW THIS MORNING, THAT THE CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER HE PULLS OUT OF THE GAS STATION ONTO THE STREET, WHEN GETTING FUEL. NOW IT IS NEARLY EVERY TIME HE FILLS THE TANK WITH GAS AND HE FEELS IT IS GETTING WORSE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED WHEN THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC! *TR

I FILLED UP MY CHRYSLER 300 JUST AFTER BUYING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. AFTER FILL UP I PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION AND GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT AND IT STALLED. I RESTARTED IT AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR AT FIRST BUT AFTER A MINUTE IT DID. WENT FOR ABOUT HUNDRED FEET AND IT STALLED AGAIN IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. THEN THE NEXT MORNING IT RAN FINE UNTIL I FILLED IT UP AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING STALLED RIGHT AFTER I FILLED IT WITH GAS I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE GAS TANK AND PURGE VALVE THAT ONLY CAN BE CORRECTED BY REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS AN ISSUE HAS HAPPENED FOR MANY OWNERS AND THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING BY THERE DEALERS. IT IS A FACTORY DESIGN ERROR THAT ONLY BE CORRECTED BY THE FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS THE PURGE VALVE. THE REASON IT STALLS IS THAT WHEN FILLED UP THE TANK AND PURGE VALE FLOODS THE THROTTLE BODY WITH RAW FUEL AND THE CAR STALLS THIS STALLING CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT VERY EASY AS WELL AS EFFECTING THE EMISSIONS OF THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT WHICH I UNDERSTAND HAS EFFECTED THE DODGE CHARGER AS WELL AS THE CHALLENGER. *TR

AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, I WENT BACK INSIDE AND MADE THE SERVICE MANAGER AWARE. HE CAME OUT AND AFTER A FEW TRIES, IT STARTED. THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT BUT THAT IT SEEMED TO BE FINE SO I COULD TAKE IT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUE AND TOOK IT TO A NEARBY GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP. AFTER FILLING IT UP, IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FROM 8/29 TO 9/26. DURING THAT TIME, THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED, THE EVAP CANISTER WAS REPLACED AND THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED. WHEN I WENT TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP ON 9/26, IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND PUMPING THE GAS WHILE TURNING THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE STARTED. I AM NOW ONLY ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE IF THE GAS PEDAL AN PUMPED WHILE THE KEY IS BEING TURNED. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO ATTEMPTED TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I GOT IT BACK AND DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER IT HAD WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE ALSO SMELLED GAS WHILE DRIVING IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACCELERATING.

AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM WORK, I NOTICED A KNOCKING/GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE, MOST LIKELY THE LIFTER PUSH ROD PART OF THE ENGINE. I WAS INFORMED BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THERE WERE SOME VEHICLES OF THIS CLASS THAT HAD BEEN COVERED UNDER A RECALL FOR THE LIFTER PROBLEM, BUT THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC. WHEN I ASKED HOW THE DETERMINATION WAS MADE AS TO WHICH VEHICLES WERE COVERED AND HOW THE COVERAGE WAS EXTENDED, I COULD NOT GET A ANSWER. IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT A VEHICLE OF THE SAME CLASS AS MINE IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT. NEITHER DO I UNDERSTAND WHY I COULD NOT BE TOLD BY CHRYSLER IF THEY HAD ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THE RECALL TOOK PLACE. THAT IN ORDER THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD, THAT PERTINENT INFORMATION COULD BE TRANSMITTED DURING THE SALE. ABSENT THIS INFORMATION, WHOM DO I AS A BUYER, UNKNOWNING PLACE RESPONSIBILITY? *JS

CAR STARTS BACK UP WITHOUT PROBLEM IF PUT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. HAVE HAD FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED, NEW SPARK PLUGS ( MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED COPPER) AND ALL NEW IGNITION COILS. DEALERSHIP SAID THE STALLING WAS CAUSED BY OLD SPARK PLUGS AND WORN IGNITION COILS BUT CONTINUES TO STALL AFTER ALL OF THESE WERE REPLACED. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM GOING, BUT SEEMS TO STALL MORE WHEN I REACH AROUND A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC AND WHILE ENTERING AND EXITING HIGHWAY. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS AND FAMILY IN THE CAR, THERE IS NO WARNING OF STALL AND IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE.

(11-9-2006) CAR STALLED 4 TIMES IN A ROW. THE STALLING HAS CONTINUED UP TO YESTERDAY (9-15-2013). THE CAR WOULD STALL AT A STOP OR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND AT RANDOM TIMES FROM A FEW DAYS UP TO 3 OR 4 MONTHS. THE DEALER NEVER HAD A SOLUTION. I HAVE REPLACED MANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS RECOMMENDED BY THE DEALER INCLUDING THE PCM. BEFORE I CHANGED THE PCM, I WOULD HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE SWITCH TO RESTART THE CAR. AFTER I REPLACED THE PCM THE CAR WILL STILL STALL, BUT THEN WILL "KICK START" ITSELF IF I AM GOING OVER 25 MPH. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL STALL 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THEN RUN GREAT FOR A MONTH OR 2. IT IS ALWAYS RANDOM. I HAVE LOOKED INTO RENTING A BLACKBOX TO INSTALL IN MY CAR TO CAPTURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, HOWEVER THE DEALER SAYS THAT A RECORDER FOR MY CAR DOESN'T EXIST. I STILL DRIVE THIS CAR WITH CAUTION, MY WIFE NO LONGER DRIVES THIS CAR WHICH WAS HERS.. *TR

Summary

IN SEPTEMBER, 2010, WHILE DRIVING IT, MY CHRYSLER 300C BEGAN MAKING A CONSTANT WHINING NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT STOPPED MOVING AND I HAD TO PLACE IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND DRIVE SO IT HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER. SO WE HAD TO PAY $2926.91 TO HAVE IT A TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED. SINCE THEN THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES OVER A SPAN OF 3 YEARS; THE LAST TIME A WEEK AGO (NOT QUITE 7 MONTHS FROM THE LAST TIME). THE DEALER IS NOW TELLING US THAT WE MUST HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH A RAIN PUDDLE AND THAT WATER HAS LEAKED INTO OUT TRANSMISSION FLUID AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS 3 TIMES AND THE PARTS AND LABOR ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *JS

Summary

CAR STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP. I SWITCHED FILLING STATIONS, BRANDS AND OCTANES. CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW GALLONS WERE USED, THE STALLING WENT AWAY EACH TIME. PROBLEM NOW CONTINUES WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS, OR NO PRESSURE ON THE THROTTLE. WHILE MOVING IT WILL STALL, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND "DING", THEN WHEN I PUMP THE THROTTLE IT WILL CATCH ITSELF AND THE CAR WILL JERK HARD AND ACCELERATE AGAIN. AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ONCE IT STALLS, IT WILL REQUIRE USING THE KEY TO RESTART. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM, THE LAST TIME IN AUG 2013, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD STAYED ON. THEY RESET THE CODES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JS

Summary

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

Summary

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY, IT WAS CITY DRIVING EARLY IN THE MORNING. SINCE THEN, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS SITUATIONS WHERE THE CAR HAS STALLED AFTER FILLING UP. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS (I.E. WATER IN MY GAS TANK), HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE VARIED THE FUELING STATIONS AND BRANDS I USE AND HAVE SEEN NO EFFECT. IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER I FILL UP, AND IT SEEMS TO GO AWAY AFTER THE TANK HAS EMPTIED A BIT. THE LATEST ENCOUNTER WAS YESTERDAY (I FILLED UP TWO DAYS PRIOR) WHILE I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE CAR - MULTIPLE STALLS IN MID-DAY CITY TRAFFIC. AND AGAIN THIS MORNING. THE GAS TANK IS STILL QUITE FULL (IT SHOWS OVER "F" ON THE GAUGE). I _NEVER_ TOP OFF WHEN I FILL - I SIMPLY WAIT UNTIL THE FILLER TURNS ITSELF OFF WHEN FILLING. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE FIRST OCCURRENCE IN MID NOVEMBER OF 2012, WHICH I INITIALLY (AS INDICATED) WROTE OFF AS BAD GAS DUE TO HURRICANE SANDY (I FIGURED THE STORM MAY HAVE CAUSED WATER IN THE TANKS OF GAS STATIONS). AFTER HEARING ABOUT NUMEROUS ISSUES ON THIS, I WANTED TO ADD MY EXPERIENCES TO THE GROWING LIST. THE CAR IN QUESTION IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8. *TR

Summary

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C (HEMI 5.7) WILL STALL AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE CAR DOES RESTART. AT HIGHER SPEEDS (E.G,, 60MPH), THE VEHICLE WILL EXHIBIT A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER (DROP IN RPMS, FOLLOWED BY A CHIME SOUND) AS IF THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO STALL, BEFORE REACCELERATING AGAIN. THE STALLING/LOSS OF POWER ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES, THE CAR WILL OPERATE AS LONG AS A DAY OR TWO WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DEALER PERFORMED A COMPLETE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC - RETRIEVED CODE PO700 - RELATED TO LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH PCM TO MULTIPLE MODULES. (THEY MAY HAVE BEEN OLD STORED CODES.) THEN, THEY CLEARED THE CODES, ROAD TESTED THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER RETURNED THE CAR AND ASKED ME TO MONITOR IT. THEY INDICATED THAT IF THE ISSUE RE-OCCURS, THE VEHICLE WILL POSSIBLY NEED A PCM OR IGNITION SWITCH. MY IMPRESSION IS THAT THEY ARE GUESSING AT WHAT THE ISSUE MAY BE. THE DAY AFTER THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE SAME SUDDEN STALLING/LOSS OF POWER ISSUES RECURRED ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON. I WILL BE RETURNING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM TO DATE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SUDDEN STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM MARRIED WITH A 9 MONTH OLD BABY. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER TO SAFETY. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND "COAST" TO THE SIDE. LUCKILY I WAS TURNING AT A TURNING LIGHT AND THERE WASN'T HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARED ME! I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. IT WOULDN'T "TURN OVER" THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME TRYING TO START IT, IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT WOULD START AND THEN FINALLY STARTED. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON (AFTER THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF) WAS THE OIL LIKE. MY OIL IS COMPLETELY FULL. WAS JUST CHANGED A MONTH AGO USING SYNTHETIC. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

I WAS TOLD NOT TO FILL THE CAR UP COMPLETELY AS THIS MIGHT HELP. IT DOES NOT !!!! I ALMOST GOT KILLED LAST WEEK WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS GOING DOWN HILL WITH THE LOSS OF BRAKES AND POWER STEERING....!!!!!!!! I CALLED THE SERVICE WRITER AT MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER AND WAS PUT INTO HIS VOICE MAIL. IT IS INTERESTING THAT HE NEVER RETURNED THE CALL ABOUT THE COMPLAINT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL.

JUST FILLED UP CAR AT GAS STATION (DON'T TOP OFF) EXITED LOT AND PROCEEDED ON ROAD WAY AND CAR JUST DIED.LOST ALL POWER, HAD JUST GOTTEN UP TO ABOUT 15 MPH.TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (. WAS TOLD TO REPLACE CAM-CRANK SENSOR). TOW SERVICE $80.00 WORK DONE $760.00. NEXT INCIDENT, DECEMBER 3, 2012, JUST FILLED CAR UP (NOT TOPPING OFF) SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, TOW SERVICE $80.00. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE EVAP CANISTER AND PURGE SOLENOID. COST TO REPLACE $630.89. LATEST INCIDENT WAS ON JULY 5, 2013 FILLED UP AT STATION , SAME AS BEFORE, THIS TIME THE CAR DIED ON THE FREEWAY. TOOK 3 POLICE OFFICERS TO PUSH MY CAR OFF THE FREEWAY AND OUT OF HARMS WAY. ONCE AGAIN HAD THE CAR TOWED ($100.00 THIS TIME) TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. TODAY IS JULY 31, 2013 AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND THE VENTS IN THE GAS TANK ARE CLOGGED. THE COST TO ME WILL BE $1,800.00 TO REPLACE AND ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER LARGE EXPENSE. UNTIL MY BOYFRIEND BROUGHT IN SOME PAPERWORK HE FOUND ON A "CHRYSLER FORUM"( INDICATING THAT THERE WERE OVER 92 PEOPLE THAT HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ) THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE AND THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. WE ASKED THEM TO TAKE SOME OF THE GAS OUT OF THE TANK AND TAKE THE CAR TO THE GAS STATION AND FILL UP THE CAR. WELL AFTER GETTING GAS THE CAR DIED ON THE SERVICE REPS. NOT JUST ONCE BUT 3 TIMES. THIS WHOLE TIME THEY HAD MY CAR, NOT ONCE DID ANY CODES SHOW UP. WORK ON MY CAR IS NOW PENDING. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER, THIS WAS MY DREAM CAR AND I CAN'T EVEN ENJOY IT. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 23,000 MILES AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER DOES NOT RECALL THESE CARS. MY CONFIDENCE AND SATISFACTION WITH THE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW. *TR

AS REPORTED WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS, CAR WILL STALL AFTER REFUELING. YESTERDAY IT STALLED THREE TIMES WHILE REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLYING THE BRAKE. IT ALSO STALLED WHILE TURNING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHICH PROMPTED ME TO DIG INTO THIS FURTHER SINCE PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM HAVE NOT WORKED!. VISITED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TODAY AND SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON NOR COULD THEY FIND ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO THE ISSUE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE ONLY QUESTION I WAS ASKED WAS THAT IF I TOPPED THE FUEL AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. I RESPONDED THAT I DID NOT AND IF I DID WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD THAT MAKE. PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS, AND IN THOSE MONTHS THE DEALERSHIP RE-FLASHED THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, I HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, REPLACED ALL THE FLUIDS, AND REPLACED THE PCV VALVE. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND WOULD LIKE TO SEEK SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION! *TR

Summary

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT WITHIN 3 MILES AFTER REFUELING (FULL TANK). FORTUNATELY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AHEAD OF ME, AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST INTO A PARKING SPACE STRAIGHT AHEAD. AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER OWNERS, I LOST ALL POWER "EVERYTHING" STEERING, ETC. VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY SUSPECTED THE TROUBLE WAS RELATED TO A FULL FUEL TANK AND FAILING VAPOR VENT VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. I'M PARAPHRASING HERE BUT AS I UNDERSTOOD IT, LIQUID FUEL WAS BREACHING THE VENT VALVE WHEN TYPICALLY ONLY VAPORS ARE VENTED. REMEDY: REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. AN EXPENSIVE SOLUTION FOR WHAT IS SEEMINGLY A DEFECT EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS. THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED, AND ONCE THE PART ARRIVED, I WAS TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK WITH AS LITTLE FUEL AS POSSIBLE IN THE TANK. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, I COULDN'T TIME THE RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY APPOINTMENT SO I HAD TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. I PURPOSELY DID NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK TO FULL, AND CONSEQUENTLY, DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY SUBSEQUENT STALLING UNTIL I COULD RETURN THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICING. *TR

Summary

I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR STALLS WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN/U TURN OR HARD STOP/START. THE CAR WILL STALL AND THE ESP/BASS AND OIL LIGHTS COME ON. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL THE KEY HAS BEEN TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE DEALER ALWAYS TELLS ME IT IS OPERATING NORMALLY. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND WAS JUST LIVING WITH IT AFTER THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF WARRANTY. IT WAS ONLY AFTER I READ ANOTHER PERSON'S ACCOUNT ONLINE THAT I REALIZED IT WAS HAPPENING AFTER A FUEL FILL (I DO NOT TOP OFF MY TANK). AFTER LEARNING THIS, I CAN NOW MAKE THE CAR STALL ON DEMAND. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FILL IT UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, THEN MAKE A HARD TURN BACK AND FORTH AND THE CAR STALLS. IF YOU PULL OUT FROM THE GAS STATION SLOWLY AND MAKE NO SHARP MOVEMENTS, THE CAR WILL NOT STALL. THE DANGEROUS PART OF THIS IS IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL. *TR

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK LAST WEEK, IT WAS RAINING AND WHEN IT STALLED I ALMOST GOT HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THAT I CAN BRING IT IN AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED, BUT IF IT ISN'T DOING IT WHEN I BRING IT IN, THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT.

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

AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30PM I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE (CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 MODEL) TO DRIVE HOME. I PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION, STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THEN PROCEEDED TO CHANGE GEARS FROM PARK TO REVERSE. MY GEAR SHIFT WAS LOCKED/STUCK IN PARK. IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. I THEN TURNED MY CARE OFF AND PROCEEDED TO TRY AGAIN. I THEN STARTED UP MY VEHICLE (CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 MODEL) AND THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STILL STUCK IN PARK. I THEN PROCEEDED TO GOOGLE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY CHRYSLER 300 AND THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS ON THIS SITE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. ON THIS SITE OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS STRESS THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN. IT COSTS $490 TO GET IT FIXED PLUS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IT WILL COST YOU TO GET YOUR VEHICLE CHRYSLER 300 TOWED. THE OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS ALSO STRESS THAT THEY'VE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH 2005, 2006, AND 2007 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING MODELS. I THEN PROCEEDED TO MAKE SEVERAL CALLS TO HANDLE MY PROBLEM AS FAR AS TOWING ECT... ALL I GOT WAS THE RUN AROUND AND I STRESSED THE ISSUE AS FAR AS THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BEING RECALLED AND IT HADN'T BEEN. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I WOULD OF NEVER BOUGHT THE CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 MODEL. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE TO COME OUT OF THEIR POCKETS FOR A DEFAULT THAT THE COMPANY MADE ON A VEHICLE. THIS MODEL NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST. IT IS NOW 4:03PM AND MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN ARE STILL WAITING FOR MY CAR TO BE TOWED. ## VIN PASSED ## CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 ##

EVERYTIME THE CAR WAS FILLED UP, IT STALLS A FEW TIMES. THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING A LOT DURING THIS PST YEAR AND STILL CURRENTLY HAPPENS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WHEN THE CAR STALLED, OTHERWISE IT WILL CREATE ACCIDENT. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE CROWDED TRAFFIC. AFTER IT STALLS COUPLE TIMES, THE ENGINE GOT CLOGGED AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO START(THIS WAS THE SAME TIME-DAME DAY AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK). I BROUGHT IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING SINCE AT THE TIME HE GOT THE CAR TO CHECK, IT DOESN'T STALL. *TR

Summary

ON 4 OCCASIONS SINCE DECEMBER 2012 (I PURCHASED IT 6/2012), MY CAR HAS STALLED AFTER FILL UP, ON ONE OF THE THREE OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. ALL FOUR TIMES THAT THE CAR STALLED, IT WAS WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND TURNING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TURNING ON TO A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN DAYTONA BEACH, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I DO NOT OVERFILL MY TANK, I ONLY FILL IT UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS ITSELF OFF. I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE CODES CHECKED AND THERE IS NOT INDICATION OF ANY REASON FOR THE STALL. I HAVE TWO CODES, ONE FOR AN AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR, AND ONE FOR AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. NEITHER OF THOSE SHOULD HAVE CAUSE A RANDOM STALL WITH NO WARNING. MY CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED, AND BABIED. *TR

Summary

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

I WENT TO SHIFT MY VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND REALIZED THAT THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD NO LUCK. I WAS FORCED TO TAKE THE SHIFTER COVERS OFF AND MANUALLY PULL THE RELEASE CABLE IN ORDER TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT A DIAGNOSIS ALONE WOULD BE 135.00 DOLLARS. I DECIDED TO BRING THE CAR TO MY OWN MECHANIC AND HE DISCOVERED THAT THE SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. HE LOOKED UP A RECALL FOR 2005-2007 CHRYSLER AND TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN CANADA, IT DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE SAME EXACT PART USED ON THE U.S. ASSEMBLY LINES. CHRYSLER SAYS THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH BEING FAULTY BUT REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM POSTING TO ONLINE FORUMS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE! *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS AUTO SHOWROOM NEW FROM THE DEALER IN 2006. ALTHOUGH BREAKING WAS QUESTIONABLE, WE ACCEPTED WHEN TOLD THE SYSTEM WAS FINE AND THE JERKING WAS NORMAL. HOWEVER, SINCE APRIL 2008 THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED OFF AND ON AT THE MOST UNSAFE TIMES. THE DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT. WE HAD A NEW FACTORY ENGINE INSTALLED ($7,000) IN 2012 AND GUESS WHAT? THIS NEW ENGINE HAS STARTED STALLING. ALL OUR WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED AT A DEALERSHIP SO CHRYSLER CAN'T CLAIM THAT AN AUTO SHOP MIGHT HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER VIEWING ALL THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND HAVING IT HAPPEN TO MY WIFE AND I, WHY HAVEN'T YOU OR CHRYSLER TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM? DOKKKKKKKKKKKK *TR

AS I DRIVE HOME, I COULD FEEL THE CAR "SPUTTERING" OR HESITATING LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN. WHEN STARTING CAR IN THE MORNING IT FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE.

Summary

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT IS ON ITS THIRD ENGINE AND NOW A ROLL OVER VALVE. KEEP IN MIND WHEN WE LOST TWO ENGINES THE CAR WAS ON AN INCLINE. TRIED TO START WHEN WE TRY IT ACTS LIKE IT IS OUT OF GAS. IT DOES NOT START THEREFORE WE HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. TWO TIMES WE HAVE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. CYLINDERS 3 OR 4 JUST FELL OFF. ONE MINUTE IT RUNS GREAT THE NEXT MINUTE NOTHING. I THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A FUEL PUMP. THIS LAST TIME IT SPUTTERED THEN SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DOING A U-TURN. WE TRIED ONCE TO TURN IT OVER AND AGAIN IT ACTED AS IF IT WERE OUT OF GAS, HOWEVER IT WAS FULL, APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES PRIOR. WE DID NOT CONTINUE TO TRY TO START IT AND HAD IT TOWED. THE CAR SAT OVER NIGHT. THE SERVICE GUY SAID IT STARTED RIGHT UP IN THE MORNING. (MONDAY MORNING) THIS AFTERNOON, TUESDAY THEY CALLED WITH THE DIAGNOSES OF A ROLL OVER VALVE. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS THE REASON WE LOST TWO ENGINES. IS THIS A LEMON OR IS THIS NAGGING VALVE THAT IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM FOR MANY GOING TO BE A RECALL AS THE NEXT PROBLEM WILL BE GAS LEAKING EVERYWHERE OR VENTING TO THE AIR OR BOTH. DO NOT WANT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FOR THE CAR TO FAIL SO MY FAMILY COULD ANSWERS YES TO ALL THREE ABOVE QUESTIONS "THAT WOULD BE SUICIDE" ,AND WILL NOT SPEND $ 1700.00 FOR ANOTHER GOOD GAS TANK WHEN THE ACTUAL PART THAT COST $0.50 COULD BE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE GAS TANK. *TR

PULLED OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER REFUELING INTO HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, CAR STALLED WHILE TURNING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER (IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STEER). MANAGED TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COAST INTO MEDIUM. PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED CAR, PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED WHILE COASTING. NO MORE PROBLEMS ON THIS TRIP. HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 3 WEEKS LATER, PULLED UP TO STOP SIGN AFTER REFUELING AND CAR STALLED. I PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 3/4 MILE AND ENTERED STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY. CAR STALLED 5-6 TIMES WITHIN 1 MILE, EACH TIME I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ABLE TO PREVENT A STALL BY WATCHING THE TACH FOR SIGNS OF RPM DROPPING THEN PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. *TR

Summary

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

AFTER REFILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY 2006 300C CHRYSLER, IT STUMBLES AS THOUGH IT IS NO LONGER GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. THERE IS A DEFINITE AND SERIOUS LOSS OF POWER, WITH CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY AS WE EXIT THE GAS STATION AND REENTER TRAFFIC. THERE IS A SENSE THAT THE ENGINE IS STRUGGLING AND WOULD STALL. THE LOSS OF POWER REPEATS SEVERAL MORE TIMES AS WE DRIVE FURTHER FROM THE GAS STATION. THIS PROBLEM HAS PRESENTED ITSELF ALMOST EVERY TIME WE REFUEL AND IS CAUSE FOR REAL CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. BASED ON ADVICE FROM OTHER 300C OWNERS, WE PLAN TO NO LONGER FILL THE TANK, BUT STOP AT ABOUT THE 3/4 MARK. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A VERY EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO A GENUINE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THEN ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND ALL WAS NORMAL AGAIN. THIS REPEATED MAYBE 4-5 TIMES IN A ROW. OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES, ON FOR MAYBE A MINUTE, THEN BACK OFF. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL OF THIS HAPPENING MOMENTARILY (MAYBE LASTING A SECOND) SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED 1 1/2 YEARS AGO.

Summary

I FILLED UP MY CAR WITH PREMIUM FUEL (AS ALWAYS) AND STOPPED THE FILL AT THE FIRST CLICK OF THE GAS PUMP. I STARTED MY CAR AND RESET MY TRIP INFORMATION INTO MY COMPUTER AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND GOT ON THE 59 NORTH FEEDER ROAD. IT STARTED JERKING LIKE THE ENGINE WAS CUTTING OUT SO I SLOWED DOWN AND WHEN I SLOWED DOWN IT COMPLETED DIED ON THE FEEDER ROAD. I STARTED BACK UP AND IT MISSED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND DIED AGAIN AT THE RED LIGHT. IT SEEMS THAT IF YOU ARE ON AN OPEN STRETCH OF ROAD GOING OVER 30 OR 40 IT WON'T DIE - BUT WILL CUT OUT AND JERK REALLY BAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ANOTHER 10-15 TIMES SINCE THEN. I STOPPED FILLING THE CAR UP AND JUST PUT IN 3/4 TANK. MY HUSBAND WILL FORGET AND FILL IT UP AND IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE CAR UP. IT HAS DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS LEAVING A GAS STATION, IT HAS DIED IN INTERSECTIONS AFTER LEAVING A RED LIGHT. VERY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS! *TR

AFTER REFUELING TANK I DROVE AWAY FROM THE PUMPS AND ONTO THE ROADWAY, DURING ACCELERATION TO SPEED LIMIT (50MPH), AT 25MPH THE ENGINE STALLED, WITH TRAFFIC QUICKLY APPROACHING I MIGHT ADD, AND LEFT ME COASTING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THANKFULLY, AT WHICH TIME I HAD TO ATTEMPT A RESTART 3 TIMES BEFORE IT DID START, WHEN IT STARTED I HAD NO ISSUES FOR A FEW MONTHS. THIS EXACT SITUATION HAPPENED TO ME EVERY OTHER MONTH FOR A YEAR UNTIL I LEARNED TO NOT FUEL THE VEHICLE TO THE TOP. IT IS A CONSIDERABLE INCONVENIENCE TO NOT BE ABLE TO FILL THE CAR TO ITS CAPACITY, ESPECIALLY ON LONG TRIPS. I AM JUST AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN, AT ANY TIME, WITH NO WARNING, QUITE AN UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING ACTUALLY. I HOPE FOR A SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

Summary

THIS WAS THE FIRST OF SEVERAL INCIDENCES. AFTER FUELING, THE ENGINE BEGAN ROUGH IDLING. I THOUGHT I HAD JUST GOTTEN WATER IN MY TANK. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THE ENGINE SEEMED TO SMOOTH OUT AND I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND ENTERED A BUSY INTERSECTION. AS I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION, I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WERE CARS ALL AROUND ME AS I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT STARTED AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE RAN ROUGHLY FOR SEVERAL MORE MINUTES AND ONCE AGAIN SMOOTHED OUT. THE STALLING CAN ALSO HAPPEN DURING RIGHT TURNS, BUT ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER REFUELING. MY DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE VALVE ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. WHEN FILLING THE TANK, FUEL LEAKS OVER INTO THE CANNISTER WHICH THEN FLOODS OUT THE ENGINE. BECAUSE THE VALVE AND THE TANK ARE ONE UNIT, THE ENTIRE TANK MUST BE REPLACED. SINCE A REPAIR IS SO EXPENSIVE, I NOW DO NOT FILL MY TANK ABOVE THE 3/4 LEVEL. *TR

Summary

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

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

GOING FOR A 1000 MILE TRIP FROM SAINT CLOUD FL. TO PITTSBURGH PA. I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK . WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE STATION THE ENGINE STALLED. IT STALLED TWICE AGAIN A MILE AWAY WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH. ON MY TRIP TO PITTSBURGH THE CAR STALLED ABOUT 5 SEPARATE TIMES ALL AFTER GETTING THE GAS TANK FILLED. MOST STALLS OCCURRED WHEN STOPPED BUT AT LEAST TWICE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. CALLED CHRYSLER AND GOT NO WHERE. THEIR SUGGESTION WAS TO TAKE CAR TO A DEALER AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD. NEVER A SCRATCH , OR DENTS. ALWAYS KEPT COVERED IN GARAGE. IT IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. I AM SHOCKED ABOUT THIS STALLING AND CHRYSLER'S REPLY TO MY ASKING FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE. *TR

Summary

VEHICLE STALLS SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. STALL HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP ALTHOUGH HAS ALSO OCCURRED AT A LOW SPEED CRUISE (25-35 MPH) AND WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. HAPPENS ONLY AFTER FUEL TANK IS FULLY FILLED, BEING THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON THE FUEL PUMP. DOES NOT SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN TANK IS ONLY PARTIALLY FILLED. WHILE THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RESULTED IN A COLLISION YET, THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT IT EVENTUALLY WILL. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT STALLING WHEN LEAVING AN INTERSECTION CAUSES LOSS OF SOME CONTROL. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, UPON RESTART THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT COME ONLINE FOR A FEW MOMENTS. THIS CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS SCENARIOS WHEN LEFT IMMOBILE IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OF A MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK FULL I DROVE THE CAR 1-2 MILES AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO GO FORWARD THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED. I COASTED TO A STOP JUST PAST THE INTERSECTION AND WAS ABLE TO RE-START IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT A MILE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD ONLY THIS TIME I WAS NOT STOPPED, BUT DRIVING AND ACCELERATING AND IT DIED AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO A STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THEN STOPPED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT TIME I FILLED THE GAS TANK UP WITH VERY SIMILAR ISSUES, AND AGAIN STOPPED AFTER THE GAS TANK HAD USED SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK (AT A COST OF $1600). THE TECHNICIAN THEN TOLD ME THAT IF I KEPT THE GAS TANK AT 75% FULL AND NOT COMPLETELY FILL IT I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS. HE WAS RIGHT, SINCE THESE EVENTS IN DECEMBER OF 2012 I HAVE ONLY FILLED IT TO 75% FULL AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I READ IN THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS ON 05/16/2013 THAT THIS MODEL OF CHRYSLER IS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR THE PROBLEM I HAVE TOLD YOU OF. THE DESCRIPTION/SYMPTOMS LISTED IN THE NEWS RELEASE SEEMED TO MATCH MINE AND I AM THEREFORE REPORTING IT. *TR

AFTER REFUELING, MY CHRYSLER 300SRT 2006 6.1 LITER V-8 ENGINE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH TOWN. IT RESTARTED QUICKLY AND I CONTINUED MY TRAVEL. WITHIN 1 MILE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AND RESTARTED QUICKLY. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER INCIDENT AS OF 5/5/13. I AM CONCERNED AFTER READING AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS OF THE SAME YEAR AND SIMILAR MODELS. I TRAVEL THE INTERSTATES OFTEN AND REFUEL DURING MY TRAVEL AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WILL STALL ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH SURROUNDED BY OTHER CARS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO MY CHRYSLER DEALER AND UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS DISCOVERED QUICKLY BEFORE THERE ARE ANY CRASHES WITH OR WITHOUT INJURIES. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO? *TR

Summary

AFTER FILLING MY GASOLINE TANK AND DRIVING AWAY THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. WHILE STILL ROLLING FORWARD I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I ALWAYS SUCCEEDED IN RESTARTING THE CAR WHILE IT WAS ROLLING FORWARD. HOWEVER, THE STALLING WOULD REPEAT ITSELF TWO TO THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED DOING THIS. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAD NO SOLUTIONS. AFTER MONTHS OF REPEATED EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM I STARTED TO FILL MY TANK ONLY TO ABOUT 3/4TH FULL AND THE STALLING WAS SOLVED. HOWEVER, AFTER HITTING SOME ROUGH ROAD AFTER A 3/4TH FILLING (THE GASOLINE GOT SLOSHED ABOUT, I AM SURE),THE ENGINE STALLED ON ME. ON JUNE 12, 2012 I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP, OVERLAND PARK JEEP, CHRYSLER, DODGE, IN OVERLAND PARK, KS TO START REPLACING GASOLINE TANK PARTS. THEY INSTALLED A 4891427AB DETECTOR-NATURAL VACUUM DETECTI....., A SOLENOID-PROPORTIONAL PURGE AND A CANISTER-VAPOR. (THEIR INVOICE #429537). THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE STALLING PROBLEM. ON MARCH 26, 2013 I FINALLY GAVE UP ON THE PROBLEM AND ASKED OPJCD TO REPLACE THE SADDLE-BAG GASOLINE TANKS. THEIR INVOICE 452851 COVERED THE INSTALLATION OF A 68051891 AA TANK-FUEL, O-RING-FUEL PUMP AND LEVEL UNIT. WITH THREE COMPLETE GASOLINE TANK FILL UP'S I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH STALLING. I AM WRITING TO YOU AFTER READING, IN THIS MORNINGS NEWSPAPER, ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS BEING LOOKED INTO BY YOUR AGENCY AND I WANTED TO REPORT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND WHAT I DID ABOUT IT. OPJCD SERVICE MAN TOLD ME THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY EXPENSES IF A RECALL WAS MADE ON MY CAR. I PAID A TOTAL OF $1,453.90 TO GET MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C, I HOPE, FIXED. THANK YOU. *TR

AND EVER SINCE I STARTED DOING THIS SOLUTION MY CAR HASN'T STALLED. IF I DO FILL UP MY CAR ALL THE WAY I HAVE TO BURN OFF SOME GAS IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM, I FILLED UP MY CAR AFTER A TRIP, AND UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION MY ENGINE STALLED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO CRANK AND WHEN THE ENGINE DID COME ON ONCE THE RPMS WOULD NOT SETTLE AND THEY KEPT DIPPING TO ALMOST ZERO BEFORE THE ENGINE CUT OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN ABOUT FIVE TIMES AND I FINALLY HAD ONE REPAIR SHOP TELL ME TO NOT FILL MY GAS TANK UP ALL THE WAY AND IT SHOULD PREVENT THE CUT OFFS. I THEN FAILED AN EMISSIONS TEST AND HAD TO HAVE MY GAS CAP REPLACED. I THOUGHT THAT THIS HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM SO I TRIED TO FILL THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY AGAIN AND IT IMMEDIATELY CUT OFF AFTER STARTING IT UP. I WAS ABLE TO REV THE ENGINE AND USE UP SOME OF THE GAS AND MANAGED TO GET THE CAR HOME WITH THE RPMS CONSTANTLY DIPPING ALMOST TO ZERO. THE CAR CUT OUT AT A STOP LIGHT AND I THEN HAD TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AFTER SITTING IN THE INTERSECTION STALLED. I'VE HAD MY CAR INSPECTED BY TWO CHRYSLER DEALERS, A FEW INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS, AND ALSO A NISSAN DEALER WHERE I KNOW THE HEAD MECHANIC. THE ONLY ANSWERS I'VE GOTTEN WERE THAT IT IS A FAULTY O2 SENSOR AND NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK. *TR

FUELED THE VEHICLE, ATTENDANT "TOPPED IT OFF". STARTED VEHICLE AND IT SPUTTERED, RUNNING POORLY AS IF IT HAD A FUEL ISSUE. SMELT FUEL FROM UNDER THE HOOD. LET VEHICLE SET FOR 10 MINUTES, STARTED UP VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO A 4-LANE MAIN HIGHWAY. JUST AS WE ACCELERATED FROM THE STOP LIGHT, THE CAR SPUTTERED, THEN DIED. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC. LET THE UNIT SET FOR 10 MINUTES, RAN THE VEHICLE AND NO FURTHER ISSUES THAT DAY. AT THE NEXT FILL UP, THE SAME PATTERN EMERGED. A THIRD INCIDENT OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS LATER AND I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE CAUTIONED THE FUEL ATTENDANTS TO NOT "TOP IT OFF" AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT REOCCURRED. *TR

Summary

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS FILLED UP WITH GAS, IT STALLS SEVERAL TIMES. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS AS AT LEAST ONCE I WAS GETTING ON AN INTERSTATE. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE I OVERFILL THE TANK (WHICH I DON'T) AND REPLACED A CHARCOAL FILTER AND SOLENOID AT THE COST OF ALMOST $500. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER THIS REPAIR AND NOW I AM TOLD I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. THIS WILL COST ANOTHER $1250. I AM AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING ON OTHER CHRYSLER 300'S. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. AT FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF OVERFILLING THE TANK AND NOW CONFIRM IT IS THE FUEL TANK, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2005 WHEN THE NEW 2006'S CAME OUT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

Summary

I WAS DRIVING ALONG @ 45MPH APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING GOT STUCK IN THE FAN. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE LEFT BANK CYLINDER HEAD. AFTER REMOVING THE HEAD AND INSPECTING THE VALVE SEATS NO# 1 INTAKE VALVE SEAT WAS MISSING. AFTER TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THE VALVE SEATS IT WAS NOTICED THAT SMALL BITS AND PIECES WERE CRUMBLING OFF OF THE OTHER SEATS. FOLLOWING THIS I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND FIND IT TO BE QUITE COMMON WITH THE 5.7 ENGINE. THE MAIN SAFETY PROBLEM HERE IS THAT IF ONE LOSES A VALVE SEAT THEN A VALVE CAN POTENTIALLY BE LOST AND CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS COULD BE A VERY BAD THING. THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS HERE. CHRYSLER IS USING A COMPRESSED MEDAL VALVE SEAT THAT DOES NOT HOLD UP UNDER THE STRESS OF THE ENGINE AS IT AGES AND THE SECOND IS THAT THE VALVE SEAT IS NOT SUNK DEEP ENOUGH INTO THE HEAD I.E. THE HEAD DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GRIPPING SURFACE TO HOLD THE VALVE SEAT IN PLACE. AND YES I AM AN ENGINEER! *TR

CAR UNEXPECTEDLY STALLED IN TRAFFIC BUT STARTED RIGHT UP AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AS I MADE MY WAY TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER A FEW MILES AWAY. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. THE CAR RAN FINE UNTIL YESTERDAY JANUARY 31ST 2013 WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND IT CONTINUED TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES AS I MADE MY WAY TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THE MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM WHICH APPEARS TO HAPPEN RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AS A PROBLEM WITH THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM. HE STATED HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES AND THE REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND VAPOR RECOVERY LINES AND FILTER ETC. COST ABOUT $2000. I ASKED IF IT WAS A RECALL GIVEN THAT THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY (MY ONLINE RESEARCH SUGGESTS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER 300C). I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT A RECALL.

DEALER SUGGESTED RUNNING THE ENGINE FOR 15 MINUTES TO CLEAR VAPOR CANISTER. THIS DID NOT HELP. DEALER REPLACED FUEL TANK AND VAPOR CANISTER, $1500. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION SINCE THE ROUGH RUNNING LEADS TO STALLING AT INTERSECTIONS OR STOP SIGNS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C BOUGHT IT NEW AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL 2012 WHEN WE WERE TRAVELING FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND STOPPED TO REFUEL. AFTER FILLING THE TANK WE STARTED THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE, THE CAR STARTED BUCKING AND THEN WOULD SHUT OFF. IT DID THIS TWICE BEFORE IT STOPPED AND THEN DROVE FINE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. IT DID THE SAME THING ON OUR WAY HOME AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK BUT AFTER DOING IT SEVERAL TIMES IT DROVE FINE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. ONCE HOME THE CAR DROVE FINE UNTIL I FILLED IT UP WITH GAS AND THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. IT BUCKS AND THEN STALLS, SOMETIMES IT WILL START RIGHT AWAY AND OTHER TIMES I HAD TO LET IT SIT A WHILE. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHILE JUST DRIVING ALONG. THIS IS SCARY AS WELL AS DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES IT STOP ANYWHERE WHICH COULD CAUSE ANOTHER CAR TO HIT YOU, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND ON ONE OCCASION I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULDN'T STEER OUT OF THE WAY DURING A TURN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK GAVE ME INFO ABOUT CANNISTERS AND VAPORS AND NOT BEING SOMETHING THAT IS SERVICEABLE.

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE CAR STALLS WHEN AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR. IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND ON TURNING ON TO STREETS. TOOK THE CAR INTO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY INFORMED US THAT THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF BAD EVAP SOLENOID WHICH IS PERMANENTLY AFFIXED TO THE FUEL TANK. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AFTER FILLING UP BECAUSE OF THE CHANCE OF BEING REAR ENDED. *TR

Summary

THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR ONLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR DIE AS I AM CROSSING BUSY INTERSECTIONS. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY. INTERNET CHATTER SEEMS TO INDICATE A BAD EVAP. SOLENOID/CANISTER OR FROM A VENT VALVE SENSOR INSIDE THE TANK THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND THE TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. A COSTLY FIX. THIS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND STALL EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. I ASKED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER ASSISTANT MANAGER IF HE HAD EVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND HE SAID NO, AND ALSO CHECKED FOR ANY EXISTING CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS SUBJECT AND FOUND NONE . *TR

Summary

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

Summary

THE OTHER DAY I GOT OFF WORK AND DROVE OFF FINE. I WENT TO THE BANK AND USED THE DRIVE THROUGH BECAUSE I HAD PULLED IN A LITTLE TO FAR AWAY FROM THE WINDOW I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REACHED OUT. AFTER MY TRANSACTION WAS DONE, I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THE INTERNET SUGGESTED PUSHING A PINK OVERRIDE BUTTON WHICH I DID BUT IT DID NOT WORK. IT STATED THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER BUTTON TO PUSH IF THAT DIDN'T WORK BUT THAT REQUIRED TAKING THE WHOLE SHIFT GEAR APART. NONE THE LESS, HAD TO CALL A TOW AND THE GUY INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER 300. I HAVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STALLING WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS?? I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR A YEAR. LOW MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I JUST KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE IS NOT. SO ITS SITTING AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT MY REPAIR BILL IS GOING TO BE FOR SOMETHING THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX. *TR

Summary

THE ENGINE WILL STALL AFTER EVERY FILL-UP. IT STALLS WITHIN 15 SECONDS AFTER STARTING IT UP AT THE GAS STATION. IT WILL THEN STALL REPEATEDLY AT INTERSECTIONS AND EVERY TIME THE CAR COMES TO A STOP. IN ADDITION, IT HAS STALLED WHILE MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS AND MISFIRES AND STUMBLES WHILE AT SPEED. THE STALLING/MISFIRING EPISODES DO NOT OCCUR ONCE 2-3 GALLONS OF GAS HAVE BEEN CONSUMED. THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE BEEN NEARLY REAR ENDED AS TRAFFIC STARTED TO PULL AWAY FROM A GREEN LIGHT, AND ALSO STALLED AT INTERSECTIONS WHILE MAKING RIGHT TURNS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG SINCE THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY CODES OR TSB'S REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE AND THEY FOUND A LOT OF CHATTER ON THEIR MECHANIC HELP WEBSITES. THEY THINK IT MIGHT BE THE EMISSION CONTROL THAT SITS ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THE TOP GAS IN THE TANK IS FLOODING OVER TO THE ENGINE AND STALLING IT OUT. SINCE CHRYSLER NOR ANYONE ELSE CAN SAY WHAT DEFINITIVELY IS GOING ON I HAVE CAUTIOUSLY NOT BEEN FILLING THE TANK. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE NEXT OWNER MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.

Summary

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

Summary

UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. DEALER REPLACED ENTIRE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY BECAUSE SMALL PINK PLASTIC SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH WAS BROKEN. PART: $167.50, LABOR: $198.00, TOTAL: $365.45 SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH ISN'T SOLD SEPARATELY! IT IS WELL ESTABLISHED THAT THIS IS A FAULTY ENGINEERING DESIGN. THERE ARE MULTIPLE INTERNET POSTINGS OF THE PROBLEM. MANY HAVE DONE DIY REPAIRS WITH A METAL REPLACEMENT PART. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL OR IN THE VERY LEAST COVERED AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHENEVER THE PART BREAKS. TO TOP IT OFF...THE REPLACEMENT IS ALSO PLASTIC! *JS

Summary

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

Summary

SINCE JANUARY 2012, EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE CAR WITH GAS IT CUTS OFF COMING OUT OF THE GAS STATION, WAITING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, WAITING IN TRAFFIC, AND EVEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM AFRAID TO FILL THE TANK. I HAVE LEARNED TO CIRCUMVENT THIS BY NOT FILLING THE TANK. THIS IS A MAJOR IN. ALSO, THIS IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AT LEAST 30 TIMES BEFORE FIGURING OUT NOT TO FILL THE TANK SINCE THE MECHANIC IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT BEING THERE WHEN I FILL THE TANK. THIS CAR LOOKS GOOD FROM FAR BUT IT IS FAR FROM GOOD!! I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. *JS

ON CHRISTMAS DAY, WENT TO VISIT RELATIVES IN ANOTHER STATE, PARKED CAR IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, RETURNED LATE AT NIGHT TO GO HOME, CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED BACK TO MY STATE TO MECHANIC, FOUND OUT SOMETHING THE SIZE OF A "FALSE FINGER NAIL" BROKE OFF INSIDE. A SMALL PIECE THAT LOOKED LIKE A WOMAN'S FALSE NAIL PAINTED PINK COSTS ME CLOSE TO $1,000.00 BETWEEN TOWING, BUYING THE ENTIRE PART SINCE YOU CANNOT REPLACE THE PINK "FALSE NAIL", LABOR, TRANSPORTATION ETC. WHY WOULD CHRYSLER MAKE A CAR THAT THEY ADVERTISE AS LUXURY AND USE A PLASTIC PIECE AS A COMPONENT IN IT? THE CHRYSLER 300C, LOOKS GOOD FROM FAR, BUT IT IS FAR FROM GOOD! *JS

Summary

IN JUNE OF THIS 2011 OUR CHRYSLER 300C JUST STOPPED RUNNING AT A STOP LIGHT. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THE MECHANIC REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING AND ADVISED US WE NEEDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO AN OFFICIAL CHRYSLER DEALER. MEANWHILE THE CAR WOULD START AND APPEARED TO RUN OK SO WE LEFT THE SHOP AND WITHIN A MILE THE CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER AND WE PULLED OVER ON THE ROAD BUT THEN MANAGED TO GET THE CAR BACK HOME. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ON NOVEMBER 3, 2011 MY WIFE HAD A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND AS SHE PULLED INTO THE DOCTOR PARKING LOT THE CHRYSLER JUST DIED. SHE WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED AND SHE WAS ABLE TO PARK IT. AFTER HER APPOINTMENT SHE WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT HOME AND IT ALMOST STOPPED AGAIN BEFORE SHE GOT HOME. WE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ASKED ME TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION AND I REFUSED, AS I DID NOT WANT THE CAR TO STOP ON ME ON THE FREEWAY. FINALLY THEY AGREED TO HAVE THE CAR PICKED UP AND DELIVERED TO THEIR SHOP AT THEIR EXPENSE. THE CHRYSLER WAS PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2005 AS A 2006 MODEL AND NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000 MILES. WE PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT HAS HAD ALL THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE BY THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER FROM DAY ONE. BASED ON ALL THE OTHER POSTS ON THE NHTSA SITE ABOUT THE STALLING PROBLEM I HAVE A LOW CONFIDENCE OF GETTING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED TO OUR SATISFACTION. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS 2006 CHRYSLER 300C IN DECEMBER 2010. I GOT A CARFAX REPORT AND THERE WASN'T ANY PROBLEMS REPORTED ON IT. WELL JUNE 2011 THE SHIFT GEARS GOT STUCK IN PARK AND I COULDN'T SHIFT IT DOWN. SO MY HUSBAND SPRAYED SOME WD40 ON THE SHIFT GEARS AND SHOOK THE SHIFTER AND PUSH THE PINK THINGY THING IN AND IT THEN IT SHIFTED DOWN INTO DRIVE. THEN IN SEPTEMBER 2011 THE SHIFT GEARS GOT STUCK AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE SHIFTER WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO PARK. I WAS FRUSTRATED SO I LOOK ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SHIFT GEARS ON THESE CARS AND IT WAS OVER 100 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SHIFT GEARS GETTIN STUCK. SO I CALLED CHRYSLER AND INFORM THEM ABOUT THIS MATTER. THEY DID HAVE IT FIX BY A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BUT I HOPE THAT I DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT CHRYSLER 300 HAD A SHIFT GEAR MECHANISM DEFECT I WOULDN'T OF NEVER BOUGHT THIS CAR... *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. I DROVE IT TO WORK THAT MORNING WITH NO PROBLEMS AND PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT, WHEN I CAME OUT TO LEAVE AFTER WORK, IT STARTED FINE, AND AS I STARTED TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE, THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE. I TRIED MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL, SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND ON, AND HAD SOMEONE TO ROCK THE VEHICLE WITH NO RESPONSE. I CALLED A FRIEND AND HE CAME OVER TO HELP ME, AND COULD NOT GET IT TO MOVE EITHER. WE WENT BACK TO HIS SHOP AND GOOGLED IT AND FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 300'S, AVENGERS, AND ONE OTHER MODEL I CANT REMEMBER. ALL YOU HAVE TO TYPE IN IS CHRYSLER 300 STUCK IN PARK, AND YOU GET ALOT OF REPLIES. HE READ HOW THEY HAD TAKEN THE CONSOLE APART AND MOVED A RELEASE LEVER. WE TRIED THAT AND IT DIDN'T WORK. WE THEN HAD TO USE A SCREWDRIVER AND MOVE A PINK THINGY TO GET IT TO RELEASE. I AM ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, BUT I CANNOT USE P (PARK) BECAUSE IT LOCKS AGAIN. I AM USING NEUTRAL AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING AWAY. I TALKED WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID SOME MODELS HAD BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT UNLESS THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BEFORE.

EXTREME SHUDDER AND VIBRATION WHILE CAR IS IN DRIVE. WHEN YOU MANUALLY GO THROUGH THE GEARS AT HIGH RPM THE PROBLEM ISN'T AS BAD. BUT AT REGULAR DRIVING SPEEDS THE PROBLEM IS VERY APPARENT. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER FROM A AAMCO TRANSMISSION SHOP. I HAD THE ORIGINAL TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED WITH A GENUINE DAIMLER CHRYSLER MERCEDES PART. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR 3 MONTHS AND NOW ITS BACK. THE WARRANTY FOR THE PART WAS FOR ONLY 90 DAYS SO I CAN'T EVEN GET WARRANTY WORK ON THE PART. I BELIEVE THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTERS ARE DEFECTIVE. IT COST ME $1600 TO HAVE IT REPLACED ORIGINALLY. I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER $1600.00 TO HAVE IT DONE AGAIN.

MY DEALERSHIP CLOSED AND I WAS INFORMED BY CHRYSLER THAT WARRANTY PERIOD ENDED. IT WAS A HUGE BLOW FINANCIALLY BUT I MANAGED TO HAVE A REBUILT ENGINE INSTALLED AT A COST OF $5,000. I HAD OIL CHANGED EVERY 4000 TO 6000 MILES BUT DESPITE THAT MY ENGINE HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 83,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC SAID MY OIL, COOLANT LEVELS WERE FINE BUT THE 300 IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS. I?M BEYOND BELIEF TO NEED A 3RD ENGINE FOR A CAR I STILL OWE MONEY ON. LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS, I FOUND HUNDREDS OF OWNERS ON BLOGS, FACE BOOK AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 2.7L 300. I CAN NOT BELIEVE A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN DONE. MANY PEOPLE THINK THE BBB IN A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION BUT THEY COLLECT FEES, RARELY LOWERING RATING OF COMPANIES WHO PAY THEM. DESPITE THE FACT FORD SELLS MORE CARS , CHRYSLER HAS CLOSE TO 10 TIMES THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS NOT RESOLVED TO OWNERS SATISFACTION. 10 X! I ASK THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO HOW THE BBB CAN JUSTIFY THE SAME RATING WITH SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN UNRESOLVED COMPLAINTS. THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300 HAS A ENGINE THAT EASILY FAILS FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS, WITH FAR MORE MILES AND NEVER REPLACED A SEIZED ENGINE. NOW I HAVE 2006 300, PURCHASED BRAND NEW, THAT FAILED AT 43,000 AND NOW AGAIN AT 83,000! I KNOW HOW TO CARE FOR MY VEHICLE, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS, BUT CHRYSLER SEEMS TO PUT ALL THE BLAME ON OWNERS. PLEASE DO WHAT YOUR ORGANIZATION WAS INTENDED AND HELP TO MAKE SURE OTHERS DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS ME. CHRYSLER SPENDS MONEY ON MARKETING, COOL LOOKING CARS, WITHOUT MUCH CONCERN FOR FLAWS WITH THE ENGINE. *TR

Summary

WHEN I STARTED 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT IN GEAR, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN PARK. I HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. I HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING ($130.40), RENTAL CAR($86.00), AND TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY($249.18)! THE SERVICE REP SAID TO KEEP RECEIPT BECAUSE THIS WAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THAT PARTICULAR MODEL AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL REPAIR. BUT NOT AT THAT TIME. THE CAR HAD 40,556 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS INCEDENT HAPPENED.

Summary

SHIFTER WOULD NOT GO OUT OF PARK!(PROBLEM IS A RECALL) HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE LIST AS A RECALL. THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THIS ISSUE IN FULL. MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE IN REGARDS TO THIS DEFECT. I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS FAIR FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH THIS RECALL TO RECEIVE FREE REPAIRS AND OTHERS DON'T. CHRYSLER WOULD NOT PAY FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED IN FULL AND I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE. THIS IS BEYOND BELIEF. THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN FULL BY CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT IS A RECALL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF MY VEHICLE WAS MADE IN A PLANT IN ALABAMA OR NORTH CAROLINA. A RECALL IS A RECALL. ESPECIALLY IF THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP, STOP BEING SO RUDE TO CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY CALL IN AND STOP DENYING ISSUES. PEOPLES LIVES DEPEND ON IT. THEN ON TOP OF THAT, THE CSR EXPEDITED MY ISSUE UP TO A MANAGER, THEY DID NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT I CALLED TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE OUTCOME. THEY KEPT SAYING IT TAKES 24 BUSINESS HOURS. THEY DIDN'T CARE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A WAY TO WORK AND THEY HANDLED THE SITUATION VERY LIGHTLY WITH NO COMPASSION. AS SOON AS I CAN GET A DIFFERENT VEHICLE, I WILL. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. THEIR SERVICE SUCKS AND THEY NEVER WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF ANY ISSUES. VERY, VERY, VERY DISSATISFIED CHRYSLER OWNER!!!!!!! *KB

YESTERDAY, I CAME OUT TO MY CHRYSLER 300 (2006) TO START IT AND THE GEAR SHIFTS WOULD NOT WORK. I COULD NOT PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, NEUTRAL, REVERSE OR ANY OTHER SHIFT. WHEN I NOTIFIED A CHRYSLER DEALER ABOUT IT I WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAD IN FACT BEEN MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY HAD BEEN RECALLED. HOWEVER, WHEN HE LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WHEN I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS, THEY TOLD ME THE REASON WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BUILT IN ONE OF THE PLANTS THE OTHER VEHICLES WERE BUILT IN. FURTHER MORE THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED I WAS UNABLE TO GET ANY HELP. ALSO BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS OWNER MAY HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. SO WHEN I CALLED THEM THE NEXT DAY TO SEE IF THIS DECISION COULD BE OVERTURNED THEY TOLD ME MY CASE WAS CLOSED AND WOULD NOT BE REOPENED. NOW, I AM STUCK PAYING THE BILL TO GET MY CAR FIXED IN ADDITION TO FACING A LOSS FOR WORK. *TR

Summary

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE - VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 1 MONTH WITH A BAD PCM MODULE. THIS IS COVERED UNDER THE 8 YEAR / 80,000 MILE FACTORY WARRANTY. CHRYSLER IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE PART TO FIX THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS ON A "MEGA BACKORDER" AND IT IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON ISSUES KNOWN WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE OVER 75 VEHICLES THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON THE WAITING LIST FOR THE PCM. FAILURE OF THE PCM CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN IDLING ROUGHLY AT RANDOM TIMES. THE THROTTLE CONTROL AND ESP LIGHTS ON THE DASH BEGIN TO FLASH. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AND YOU CAN NOT GAIN SPEED OVER ABOUT 20 MPH. EVENTUALLY, THE VEHICLE DIES. IF YOU TAKE THE KEY OUT, YOU CAN ALWAYS START IT AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MAKE IT 20 FEET, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL MAKE IT FOR 2 DAYS WITHOUT AN ISSUE. MY VEHICLE FAILED ON THE INTERSTATE AND I WAS PUT IN A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION BECAUSE I HAD NO WARNING. I COULD NOW BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR MONTHS DUE TO THE SHORTAGE OF THIS PART. CHRYSLER IS NOW IN CONTACT WITH THE VENDOR OF THE PART TO TRY TO GET AN ESTIMATE OF WHEN THE PART WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ASSIST ME WITH A RENTAL CAR, LOANER VEHICLE, OR VEHICLE OF COMPARABLE VALUE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD NEW TIRES MOUNTED ON MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE RODS WERE WORN BADLY. I JUST PASSED 42,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON MANY CHRYSLER 300 MODELS AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE. THERE ARE EVEN TWO OPTIONS FOR REPAIR. YOU CAN HAVE THE TIE RODS REPLACED WITH STANDARD EQUIPMENT BUT WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OR CHRYSLER CAME OUT WITH AN UPGRADED REPLACEMENT WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY CHRYSLER KNOWS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE AN ACTUAL RECALL. I WILL BE HAVING THE TIE RODS REPLACED TOMORROW. *TR

Summary

IN DEC 09 MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS APPROACHING LIGHTS AND MAKING TURNS. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALER THAT HAS PERFORMED ALL WORK ON MY CAR AND THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER UPDATE. IN JUNE 2010 MY CAR STARTED DOING THE SAME THING - CUTTING OFF AT SLOW SPEEDS AND MAKING TURNS. I TOOK IT IN ONCE AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SO THEY HAD NO FIX FOR IT. I RESEARCHED THROUGH FORUMS AND FOUND MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE, YET NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. AT THAT POINT I WENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER BECAUSE I JUST COULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR AWAY KNOWING THE DANGERS OF IT STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND NOT CRANKING. HE MADE SOME CALLS AFTER LOOKING AT THE INFORMATION THAT I HAD FOUND IN MY RESEARCH AND DECIDED TO CHANGE THE IGNITION COILS TO SEE IF THAT MAY ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. I PICKED MY CAR UP APPROXIMATELY THE END OF JUNE 2010 AFTER 2 WEEKS OF BEING IN THE SHOP AND BEING ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE RESOLVED AS THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS EXACTLY AND ALTHOUGH MY WARRANTY EXPIRES IN JULY, THEY WOULD STILL HONOR IT IF THE STALLING OCCURS AGAIN. ON AUG 24,2010 IT STALLED ONCE AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP THIS TIME. I HAD IT PUSHED OUT OF THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND TOWED TO THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN - WARRANTY EXPIRED THIS TIME OF COURSE - THEY ARE NOW SAYING IT CANNOT BE THE SAME ISSUE BECAUSE THIS TIME IT DID NOT CRANK BACK UP, WHICH I AM WORKING WITH CHRYSLER ON THIS ISSUE, BUT, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE CHRYSLER FIND THE ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING THIS STALLING AS IT CAN BECOME A TRAGEDY IF IT SHOULD STALL IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND AFTER ALL THE RESEARCH I DID - ITS OBVIOUS THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH AT LEAST THIS MAKE AND MODEL BECAUSE I FOUND MANY WHO COMPLAINED OF THE EXACT SAME THING WITH NO ONE BEING ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY IT IS HAPPENS OR ANY REMEDY TO FIX IT. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER IS NOT MAKING THIS MORE PUBLIC CONSIDERING THE DANGERS OF IT. *TR

ON MAY 6, 2010 REPORTED TO CHRYSLER THAT THE HOOD OF MY 2006 300C WOULD NOT STAY IN A UP RIGHT POSITION. CURRENT MILEAGE AT TIME OF REPORT 32,000. WHEN I FIRST RAISED HOOD, IT STAYED UP RIGHT FOR A MOMENT AND THAN CAME CRASHING DOWN ON MY HEAD. I RAISED HOOD AGAIN AND FOUND THAT HOOD WOULD ONLY STAY IN UP RIGHT POSITION FOR A MOMENT AND THEN CRASH DOWN TO THE CLOSE POSITION. THE STRUTS THAT HOLD HOOD UP RIGHT HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND CHRYSLER OFFER TO REPLACE FOR $50.00. I FIND THIS OFFER UNACCEPTABLE. WITH ONLY 32,000 MILES ON CAR, I FIGURE HOOD IS ONLY OPEN APPROX. 11 TIMES FOR CAR MAINTENANCE. WITH HOOD CRASHING DOWN SUDDEN CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO HEAD, BACK, HANDS AND OTHER BODY PARTS. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE AND STRUTS REPLACED AT NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER. *TR

WHILE MERGING ON THE FREEWAY, THE GAS PEDAL MADE A CRACKING SOUND WHILE PUSHING IT DOWN. 3 DAYS LATER WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DOWN IT MADE A CRACKING SOUND AND BROKE OFF, FELL DOWN, AND WAS HANGING BY THE WIRES. IT HAS A THIN PLASTIC MOUNTING FLANGE. THAT WILL BREAK OFF EASILY WITH NOT MUCH FOOT PRESSURE. NEW ONE INSTALLED WITH A RADIATOR CLAMP AROUND THE WHOLE THING TO BEEF IT UP, ADDED SCREWS. SO FAR IT HAS KEPT ME FROM GETTING REAR ENDED IN TRAFFIC. *TR

Summary

LAST WEEK ON MAY 9TH, 2010 THE ENGINE IN MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SPONTANEOUSLY DIED IN THE PARKING LOT OF AN OSH HARDWARE STORE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT A PISTON AND VALVE BLEW CAUSING THE ENGINE TO FAIL AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED AT A COST OF $8,500.00. THE MECHANIC ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF WEAR AND TEAR THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS AND EVEN MENTIONED THAT HE NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAD FULL SYNTHETIC OIL THAT WAS CLEAN AND WASN'T DUE FOR A CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 2,500 MILES PER CHRYSLER'S RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS FROM MY PAST OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE AS WELL. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING THIS DEFECT AND IT APPEARS THEY ARE NOT VERY SHOCKED AT ALL AS IF IT WAS SOMETHING THEY FORESEEN HAPPENING. I AM ALSO VERY CONCERNED WITH HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO CONTACT SOMEONE WITH SOME AUTHORITY AT THE COMPANY TO EXPLAIN THIS ISSUE AND DISCUSS A RESOLUTION. I HAVE WRITTEN THEIR CEO AND THEIR CHIEF OF CUSTOMER CARE AND QUALITY A LETTER AND AN E-MAIL ABOUT THIS OVER A WEEK AGO AND NEITHER HAS RESPONDED. WHAT KIND OF CHIEF OF CUSTOMER CARE AND QUALITY DOESN'T HAVE ANY INTEREST IN TALKING TO A REAL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER REGARDING AN ISSUE OF QUALITY? PLEASE HELP ME IN CREATING AWARENESS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS I DO BELIEVE IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAD THIS ENGINE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND NOT IN THE PARKING LOT OF A HARDWARE STORE. IMAGINE THE DANGER IN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND SPONTANEOUSLY BLOWING A PISTON AND THE ENGINE BECOMING COMPLETELY NON-FUNCTIONAL AND POSSIBLY BLOWING UP ENTIRELY WHILE MOVING AT THOSE SPEEDS WITH OTHER CARS AROUND YOU. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. UPDATED 06/14/10.*JB UPDATED 07/27/10. *JB *TR

INTERMITTENT STALLING - REPETITIVE ISSUE INTERMITTENT STALLING OF MY VEHICLE WHILE IN PARK OR WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 3X'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE; 3/21, 4/17 AND 6/23. SINCE THE PROBLEM OCCURS SO INFREQUENTLY, THE DEALERS (BERLIN CHRYSLER & MT. EPHRAIM CHRYSLER) HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR STALLING SINCE 6/23, NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND WITH MY CAR BEING 41,000 MILES IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE IS NO REASON WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR (IF THEY CAN EVEN DIAGNOSIS IT) CONSIDERING I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE SAME ISSUES 3 OTHER TIMES WHICH CHRYSLER HAS DOCUMENTED. I DID SPEAK TO A REPRESENTATIVE @ 1-800-992-1997 WHO WAS VERY FRIENDLY BUT WHO COULD NOT GIVE ME A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. THE SERVICE RECORDS ARE IMPECCABLE ON THIS VEHICLE I SHOULD NOT BE CONCERNED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THAT IT'S GOING TO STALL AND CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO MY WELL BEING. THREE DAYS BUSINESS DAYS AFTER MY PHONE CALL AND E-MAIL TO CHRYSLER THEY RESPONDED WITH A GENERIC LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY RESPONSE.

PROBLEM STARTED 11-12-08 UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS ATTEMPTED 20 TIMES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE FILED FOR THE LEMON LAW REPLACEMENT THROUGH CHRYSLER WITH NO AVAIL. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY ANYONE AT CHRYSLER DESPITE MY REPEATED ATTEMPTS AT RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. NOT ONLY HAVE I FILED FOR THE LEMON LAW REPLACEMENT WITHIN CHRYSLER, I HAVE ALSO FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE BBB OF MICHIGAN, THE KY. ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE WHICH REFERRED ME TO THE NHTSA DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARDS THAT THE CARS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM DISPLAYS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN USE. CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. CHRYSLER HAS ATTEMPTED REPAIR FOR APPROXIMATELY 11 MONTHS AND HAVE CEASED FROM COMMUNICATING WITH ME AS A CUSTOMER. I AM REQUESTING A FORMAL INQUIRY BY THE NHTSA INTO THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEIR LACK OF COMMUNICATION TO CUSTOMERS TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. I HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCED FOR 11 MONTHS AND AT THIS TIME CARDINAL CHRYSLER LOUISVILLE, KY. 502 449-1900 SERVICE MANAGER CHARLIE TRYA, HAS HAD MY AUTO ATTEMPTING REPAIRS FOR 1, 1/2 MONTHS.

Summary

2006 CHRYSLER 300C ENGINE: 5.7 LITER SPMI ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN ANYWHERE FROM 0-40MPH. IT COULD OCCUR WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON, HAPPENING WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, WHICH WOULD BRING THE MILES PER HOUR BELOW 40MPR. SO ACTUALLY WHATEVER YOU WOULD DO TO BRING THE SPEED LIMIT BELOW 40MPH IS OF NO REAL IMPORTANCE. THE REST OF THE THINGS WOULD NOT BE WORTH MENTIONING BECAUSE ANYTHING YOU DID TO BRING THE MILES PER HOUR BELOW 40 IS ALL THAT IS IMPORTANT (IT EVEN WOULD STOP AT A STOP SIGN). IF IT WAS SAFE TO ACCELERATE YOU COULD STOP THE SHUT DOWN. IT NEVER STOPPED OR TRIED TO STOP AT HIGH SPEEDS. COMMON DENOMINATOR ON ENGINE SHUTDOWN APPEARED TO BE A FULL TANK OF GAS OR RELATIVELY FULL TANK OF GAS. PROBLEM STARTED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 2008 BEFORE TAKING TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE (FINAL REPAIR DONE JUNE 27, 2009). MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTICS LATER THE PROBLEM APPEARS FIXED; USING A 'BLACK BOX' FOR THE CAR THE DEALER FINALLY REPLACED (AFTER REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS OF THE ENGINE AND COMPUTER COMPONENTS): (FROM DEALER INVOICE) REPLACE RETAINER, GAS TANK, CANISTER, SELENOID-PROPORTIONAL, O RING-FUEL PUMP AND LEVE, RETAINER, PIN. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM ON LAST INVOICE: TOOK MULTIPLE RECORDINGS OF MULTIPLE SENSORS, POWERS, GROUNDS, EVAP SYSTEM, ETC. READ RECORDINGS FOUND MOST COMMON EVAP PURGE WHEN ENGINE DIES. REMOVED EVAP CANISTER TO CHECK FOR FUEL LIQUID, NONE. REINSTALLED CANISTER, PLUGGED OFF PURGE SYSTEM. HAD DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL MILES TO SEE IF VEHICLE STUMBLES, DROVE WITH NO PROBLEMS. REPLACED GAS TANK AND TRANSFERRED NEEDED PARTS. FLOW CONTROL VALVE NOT SEALING, REPLACED CANISTER, SATURATED WITH FUEL. REPLACED PURGE SOLENOID, ALSO SATURATED. RECHECK OK. *TR

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

Summary

IN OCTOBER OF 2997, I PURCHASED A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 BRAND NEW. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW MONTHS I REALIZED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS NOT ILLUMINATING. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYLSER REPLACED THE LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH A SMALL LIGHT ON THE CONTROL STALK THAT OPERATES THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAVE TO QUESTION WHETHER THIS REPLACEMENT IS A SAFE SITUATION. I CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT ON THE STALK WITHOUT LEANING FORWARD TO SEE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL HUB. I WOULD THINK THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD BE TO CONSTANTLY REMIND THE DRIVER THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON. IF THE DRIVER CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT, THE VALUE OF IT IS LOST, AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE OPERATED IN A LESS SAFE MODE THEN INTENDED BY THE NHTSA. I ASK WHETHER THE NHTSA APPROVED CHRYLER'S REPOSITIONING AND REDESIGN OF THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT. IF THE CHANGE DID NOT RECEIVE THE PROPER APPROVAL, I AM ASKING THAT A RECALL ORDER BB ISSUED, FORCING CHRYSLER TO INSTALL THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO BE POSITIONED. I REALLY DOUBT WHETHER THE CURRENT DESIGN MEETS FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS. YOU WOULD HAVE RECEIVED THIS LETTER SOONER, BUT THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE RETURNED BY LETTER TWICE, CLAIMING THE ADDRESS ON YOUR WEB SITE WAS INCORRECT. THANK YOU. *TR

Summary

2006 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED RWD - COULD NOT PUT CAR INTO DRIVE. LAST USE WAS FINE, BUT WENT TO USE CAR NEXT DAY AND COULDN'T MOVE SHIFTER INTO DRIVE. PUTTING FOOT ON BRAKE ALLOWED SHIFT HANDLE IT TO MOVE RIGHT FURTHER BUT NOT DOWN TO NEXT GEAR (REVERSE). ROCKING CAR DID NOTHING. RESEARCHED ON INTERNET AND FOUND REFERENCE TO SHIFTER PINK PLASTIC PIECE BREAKS OFF WHICH ATTACHED TO RETURN SPRING. CALLED DEALER - TOLD NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED IN AND REPLACE SHIFTER - THEY'RE JUST STARTING TO SEE THIS PROBLEM MORE FREQUENTLY. REMOVED SILVER SHIFTER TRIM BEZEL, DISCONNECTED SMALL CABLE FROM KEY SWITCH INTERLOCK, THEN ROTATED PINK PLASTIC PIECE UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SHIFTER (NOT THE PINK PLASTIC TAB ON THE SIDE OF THE SHIFTER) SO I COULD PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND USE THE CAR AND AVOID THE HASSLE AND EMBARRASSMENT OF TOWING. DROVE CAR TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER - ABOUT A $500 JOB BUT GIVEN A GOODWILL EXCHANGE SO IT COST $100. SINCE I LIVE IN THE PHOENIX METRO AREA (READ HOT - HOT - HOT) - THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IN ANOTHER 3 YEARS BECAUSE THE SAME CHEAP REPLACEMENT PART WAS INSTALLED. STEVIE WONDER COULD SEE THIS IS AN OUTRIGHT DESIGNED IN DEFECT - USING SOME CHEAP PINK PLASTIC PART IN A HIGH USE AREA. THERE SUPPOSEDLY IS A METAL REPLACEMENT PART TO FIX THIS BUT YOU NEED TO TEAR APART THE CAR AND THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE IT. YOU NEED TO REMOVE A BUNCH OF TRIM PANELS AND BUST A KNUCKLE OR TWO TO GET THE SHIFTER OUT. I WOULD HAVE HAD IT OUT IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES IF THEY HADN'T MOLDED THE "LARGE" BASE PLATE AS PART OF THE SHIFTER WHICH MAKES THE SMALL SHIFTER ASSEMBLY TWICE THE SIZE OF THE OPENING. *TR

Summary

WHILE WORKING IN ROANOKE, VA I WAS LEAVING THE MALL AND WAS BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A STOP LIGHT. LIGHT CHANGED AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR SPUN AROUND TWICE ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. I WAS NOT GOING NO MORE THAN 15 MPH BECAUSE I WAS BEHIND THE OTHER VEHICLE. EXPERIENCE FROM DRIVING IN ALASKA ON ICE, I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CALMNESS AND NOT SLAM ON BRAKES AND KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. THE CAR RESTED IN THE TURNING LANE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I KNOW THE OTHER DRIVERS WAS AS SCARED AS I WAS NOT KNOWING IF I WAS GOING TO SLAM INTO THEM BECAUSE I WAS SO OUT OF CONTROL. I CONTACTED MIKE AN ENGINEER AT CHRYSLER'S HEADQUARTERS AND LEFT HIM A MESSAGE AS TO WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND TO THIS DATE HE HAS NOT RESPONDED. I HAVE A HISTORY WITH THEM BECAUSE MY CAR ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. CHRYSLER FLEW A TEAM OF ENGINEERS IN FOR A WEEK TO CHECK OUT THE CAR, BUT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD UNTIL THE CAR STOPS RUNNING OR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS IT'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO, BUT THEY WILL COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS ONCE THE PROBLEM IS FOUND. I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE THE LOSS OF LIFE BEFORE THEY WILL ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. MAYBE IF WE ALL SENT LETTERS TO THE CEO SOMETHING WILL BE DONE BEFORE WE HAVE ANOTHER TOYOTA CRISIS.

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, MY HUSBAND NOTICED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LEAKING PROFUSELY FROM OUR 2006 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AUTOMOBILE. THE CAR WAS ONLY 1-1/2 YEARS OLD. SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, WE BROUGHT IT TO PASSPORT CHRYSLER OF ALEXANDER AND WERE TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT. MANAGER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FROM A DEFECTIVE CAP THAT WAS REPLACED. HE SAID THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING WITH ALL OF THEIR CHRSYLER 300'S AND WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD SENT OUT NOTICES TO CHRYSLER OWNERS TO INFORM THEM OF THE PROBLEM, HE SAID THAT THEY HAD NOT. HE TOLD ME THAT "OSHA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM" AND DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO ADDRESS. WHEN I CALLED OSHA, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T EVEN DEAL WITH AUTOMOBILES. ALTHOUGH THEY REPLACED THE PART IN MY CAR, I'M CONCERNED FOR OTHERS WHO MAY NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL IT CAUSES PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

Summary

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

ON FEB. 27,2008 I HAD TO HAVE BOTH TIE ROD ENDS REPLACED ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300. DURING MY AUTO SHOP'S SEARCH FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS WE DISCOVERED THAT THE DODGE DEALER IN WORCESTER MA. HAD 174 TIE ROD ENDS ON BACKORDER. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT IF THERE IS NO RECALL MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE. *TR

Summary

WITHIN THE FIRST 300 MILES THE INSIDE OF ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS STARTED TO SHOW PREMATURE SCORING AND GROOVES ALSO A GRINDING NOISE AND BRAKE PEDAL PULSING WOULD OCCUR WHEN THE BRAKES WOULD BE APPLIED. IT HAS GOTTEN A LOT WORSE AND THERE IS LESS THEN 3,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IN SPITE OF A CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN #05-006-06 TITLED "FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAKE ROTORS GROOVED/SCORED" CHRYSLER MOTORS SERVICE WOULD NOT DO ANY THING EXCEPT TURN MY ROTORS ON A LATHE AT A COST TO ME OF $200.00 DOLLARS. I WAS INFORMED BY CHRYSLER MOTORS SERVICE THAT MY PROBLEM WOULD RE-OCCUR IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8, DODGE CHARGER SRT-8 AND DODGE MAGNUM SRT-8 AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT-8. ALL OF THESE VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH "BREMBO" BRAKES. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME SORT OF A DEFECT WITH THIS BRAKE SYSTEM. A SEARCH ON LINE SHOWS THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS OF THE CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8 WITH THE SAME EXACT BRAKE PROBLEM. *TR

ON CHRISTMAS DAY I WAS ON THE 152 HEADING TOWARDS GILROY WHEN TRAFFIC STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP IN FRONT OF ME. I TAPPED MY BRAKES TO LET THE GMC DUALLY PICKUP BEHIND ME KNOW I WAS STOPPING. HE DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE AND HIT MY CAR FROM BEHIND. IT PUSHED ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND SPUN ME AROUND AND SLAMMED ME INTO A FENCE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DRIVER SEATBACK IN MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C BROKE WHICH THREW ME OUT OF MY SEAT AND INTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BACK SEAT SLAMMING ME UP AGAINST THE RIGHT REAR DOOR. THE SEATBELT ENDED UP ON MY FEET. I DON'T THINK THE SEAT SHOULD FAIL LIKE THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS SEAT WAS TESTED AND PASSED. *TR

Summary

2006 CHRYSLER 300C W/ CONTINENTAL CONTISEAL 225/60R18 TIRES W/ 23K MILES. CAR RIDING EXTREMELY POOR & WENT TO DEALER. THEY STATED TIRES EGG SHAPED & I NEEDED TO CONTACT CONTINENTAL. THEY ARE ON CONTINENTAL WEBSITE AS TIRE DEALER, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO ASSIST WITH PROBLEM. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT CONTINENTAL DEALER FROM THE SITE, WHO PULLED OFF TIRES, NOTICED 1 TIRE HAD 2 SEVERE SPOTS OF SEPARATION & 3 WERE EGG SHAPED. I WAS INFORMED BY DEALERS THAT CONTISEAL TIRES ALL HAVE POOR LIFE & THE PUNCTURE SEALANT CAUSES THEM TO NEVER STAY IN BALANCE, THUS CAUSING ABNORMAL WEAR & SEPARATION. CONTINENTAL OFFERED 50PERCENT GOODWILL RATE SAYING I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THOUGH TIRES RATED 60K THEY SAID IT DOES NOT APPLY TO NEW CARS. ALSO TOLD THEY DISCONTINUED THIS BRAND OF TIRE AND "HAD NEW IMPROVED REPLACEMENT SERIES" BECAUSE THEY FOUND HEMI ENGINE CARS ARE TOO HEAVY FOR CONTISEAL SOFT TIRES. I AM ANGRY IT COST ME $400 TO REPLACE TIRES THAT HAD 30 PERCENT USAGE, AS WELL AS BOTH DEALERS SAID ONE TIRE WAS READY TO SEPARATE AT ANY MINUTE & DIDN'T EVEN WANT ME TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME BECAUSE OF THE DANGER. I DO FREEWAY DRIVING AND HAVE AN INFANT IN THE BACK SEAT!! I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS POORLY DESIGNED TIRE & RECALL ISSUED. WHY SHOULD CONSUMERS HAVE TO SHELL OUT MONEY FOR TIRES THAT SHOULD HAVE YEARS OF LIFE LEFT?? I EVEN ASKED CONTINENTAL CUST. SERV. WHY THE 50% RATING, AND HE SAID BECAUSE 1 TIRE HAD THE SEPARATION & THE REST ONLY HAD STARTED THE PROCESS WHICH ONLY MADE MY "DRIVE ROUGH".. I ASKED "IF" IT HAD SEPARATED ON FREEWAY WHAT WOULD THEY HAVE DONE, AND HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN ME THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT. I AM APPALLED AT THE DANGER OF THESE TIRES. I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS & THERE IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY & I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME ACTION TAKEN ON THIS COMPANY & MODEL OF TIRE. IT IS SIMPLY TOO DANGEROUS & ADMITTEDLY SO BY THE COMPANY'S REPS BY STATING THE TIRES IS TOO SOFT FOR HEMI ENGINES & THIS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

BOTH GENTLEMEN AGREED IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED, BUT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SO I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CORP. CUSTOMER CENTER. THE MAN TOLD ME IT IS NOT A DEFECT JUST BECAUSE I AM NOT ABLE TO PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ANY MORE THAN IT IS A DEFECT IF I AM UNABLE TO OPEN A DOOR! I AM NOT A 100 POUND WOMAN ! I TRIED WITH BOTH FEET, GOT OUT & TRIED WITH MY HAND. HE TOLD ME IF THE LIGHT REMAINS ON & SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE BRAKES THAT I AM UNAWARE OF AND CAUSES AN ACCIDENT, THAT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE.

IF I HAD LIFTED THE CRUISE CONTROL LEVER, THE CAR WOULD HAVE TRIED TO RESUME THE SPEED I HAD BEEN USING ON THE HIGHWAY (65 MPH). 2.) THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL COVERS THE SPEEDOMETER. DRIVERS NEED TO DUCK DOWN TO LOOK THROUGH THE SPOKES TO SEE THEIR SPEED. THE WHEEL IS ADJUSTABLE, I HAD IT AT THE BOTTOM. I AM SIX FEET TALL. *NM

Summary

ON JUNE 24, 2005, I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT8. I CURRENTLY HAVE 1972 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING PERFORMANCE OF MY VEHICLE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AFTER SEVERAL REPAIR ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENJOYMENT AND MY EXPECTATIONS ARE NOT BEING MET. UPON APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES, MY VEHICLE MAKES A VERY LOUD SQUEAKING SOUND THAT LESSENS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE IMPLIED COMFORT THAT A REASONABLE PERSON SHOULD EXPECT FROM HIS/HER VEHICLE. IN ACCORDANCE WITH MY SERVICE MANUAL, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I HAVE PROMPTLY TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND REQUESTED THAT THE SITUATION BE CORRECTED. MY REQUESTS FOR CORRECTION HAVE NOT BEEN MET. THE SERVICE DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT. THEY HAVE STATED THAT THE ROTORS MAY BE TOO SMALL AND NEED TO BE CHANGED. *NM
