I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C, WHICH IS THE MOTOR TREND CAR FOR THAT YEAR. I REALLY ENJOY THE SPACIOUS ROOM AND POWER OF THIS CAR AND WAS HAPPY TO GET IT BACK IN THE SPRING OF 2005, DIRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY. I HAD BEEN ENJOYING MY CAR UNTIL THE CAR STARTING STALLING. MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT AFTER I FILLED THE GAS TANK. IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE GAS TANK TO BE REPLACED EVERY SINCE I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL LAST YEAR. TO DATE, THE TANK HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT AND STALLING IN TRAFFIC. THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A COUPLE OF DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA WITHOUT ANY HELP FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

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 P

ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY 300 LIMITED 2006! THE POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING BOTH LEFT OR RIGHT MAKES A WHINING NOISE AND A CLUNK NOISE. WITH THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND HARNESS FIRE I AM AT LOSS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR! I CAN'T TAKE MY FAMILY IN IT. THIS CAR HAS ONLY A LITTLE OVER A 100,000 MILES. VERY LOW MILES FOR THAT YEAR OF CAR. THIS IS A ONE OWNER NONE SMOKING VEHICLE. LOOK IN MY OPINION SAFETY ISN'T #1 PRIORITY FOR CHRYSLER JEEP AND DODGE THEN WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE IT THE # 1 PRIORITY. *TR

HELLO ALL, I HAVE A CAR THAT HAS A KNOW PROBLEM (PE13-016) MY CAR IS NOW STALLING MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY WHETHER THE TANK IS FULL OR NOT. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND FEAR TAKING THEM INTO MY CAR AS I LOOSE POWER WHEN IT STALLS AT THE WORST TIMES... THE DEALER SAID THIS VIN ISN'T UNDER THE RE-CALL! VERY FRUSTRATED ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! BEST TO YOU ALL! PLEASE AND THANKS! *TR

WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONED AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AT FIRST, IT WOULD HAPPEN AND THEN NOTHING FOR A FEW MONTHS. IT HAS BEGUN TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW DAYS. *JS

VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. SEAT BELTS IS BROKEN. *TR

AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GAS AND DRIVING OFF FROM GAS STATION, THE CAR MISSES, BUCKS AND STALLS OUT. STALLS 3/4 TIMES BEFORE I CAN CONTINUE DRIVING. CAR WILL MISS AND BUCK SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE RUNNING NORMAL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF CHRYSLER 300 WITH A HEMI ENGINE. I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER INFORMING ME OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REMEDY FOR ALL CARS INVOLVED. *TR

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN. ITS HAPPENED 5 TIMES THIS MONTH. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

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? THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CAR STALLED WITHIN 1/8 MILE AFTER STOPPING TO FILL THE TANK WITH GAS. *TR

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

FILLED CAR AND IT STALLED OUT. AFTER RESTARTING AND DRIVING A LITTLE WHILE SEEMED FINE. RECENTLY 11/2/14 AND TODAY 11/11/14 AFTER FILLING GAS TANK SAME ISSUE TWO WEEKS IN A ROW. I SAW A LIFETIME EXTENSION OF WARRANTY COME A FEW MONTHS BACK. I JUST WANT TO GET IN LINE FOR RECALL. *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?

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS. EVERYTIME I FILL MY TANK UP WITH GAS, STOP AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR CUTS OFF. IT CUTS OFF EVERYTIME I STOP AFTER FILLING THE TANK. YESTERDAY 10/28/2014, I FILLED AND GOT ON THE HIGHWAY, SLOWED TO TRAFFIC AND ALMOST DIED. A CAR WAS COMING FULL SPEED BEHIND ME, THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO BUT PRAY. THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF. I HAD PANIC ATTACH AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN! PLEASE HELP!! *TR

ALWAYS AFTER FUELING, CAR WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES, UNTIL IT STAYS RUNNING. MAY STALL AS SOON AS START ENG.,OR START TO DRIVE OFF, OR DOWN THE ROAD OR FREEWAY. OR AT STOP SIGNS, OR LIGHTS. *TR

ALWAYS AFTER FUELING CAR WILL STALL. AT IDLE, OR STARTING TO DRIVE OFF, OR AT STOP SIGN OR LIGHT OR GOING DOWN STREET OR FREEWAY. NOT ALWAYS EASY TO GET RESTARTED EITHER. AFTER 1,2,MILES OR SO WONT DO IT ANYMORE, UNTIL NEXT FILL TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TOA DEALER WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE MIGHT BE DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS COVERED UNDER A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY CHRYSLER 300 2006 HAS BEEN STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN STOPPED AFTER REFUELING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE PROBLEM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JUNE. 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

AIRBAG ISSUE

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 S

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, THE SHIFT LEVER FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE PARK POSITION AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHUT OFF WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. WHILE IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO ROLL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V46000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

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

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
