2006 Chrysler 300 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

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

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 KN

THE NOISE STARTED OVER A FEW MONTHS TO NOW A GRADUAL LOUD METAL "TICKING" NOISE WHEN IDLING . I LOOKED UP VARIOUS SITES AND APPARENTLY THE ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLIES HAVE HAD A PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES OF THIS AGE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO REFUSED TO COMMUNICATE AND OR TAKE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I READ THAT THE ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLIES WERE FAULTY AT THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF THESE VEHICLES YET CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING, THERE IS APPARENTLY A NEW KIT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR.. THIS IS NOT A HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLE YET IT HAS THIS LOUD METALLIC TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. *TR

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 3

ENGINE SHUT OFF AFTER TANK FILL UP. *TR

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

WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND FLASH FOR A FEW SECONDS. SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A FEW TIMES A MONTH FOR THE PAST TWO+ YEARS.I SEE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/300C/2006/ELECTRICAL/FLASHING_WARNING_LIGHTS_LOSS_OF_ELECTRICAL_POWER.SHTML WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS? *TR

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR WILL STALL AFTER LEAVING SERVICE STATION. VERY DANGEROUS, LOSS OF POWER STEERING,BRAKES,ENGINE DIES. WAS TOLD IT WAS PURGE SOLENOID HAD IT REPLACED. SEEMED TO BE ALRIGHT FOR AWHILE , BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I LOOKED UP PROBLEM ON INTERNET & IT APPEARS THIS IS COMMEND PROBLEM. *TR

ON THREE OCCASIONS THE CAR STALLED, TWICE WHILE SITTING WAITING FOR A STOP LIGHT CHANGE AND ONCE WHEN ENTERING THE STREET FROM AN ACCESS STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. *TR

MY CAR STALLS AFTER FILL UP AT GAS STATIONS WHICH SHUTS DOWN POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND AIR BAGS. *TR

AFTER REFUELING MY CAR (06 300C SRT8) SEVERAL TIME AT LOW SPEEDS OR AT A STOP THE CAR HAS STALLED AND TOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART. IF THE CAR IS EMPTY AND IS FILLED ONLY TO 3/4 WAYS THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. THE CAR IS AT THE POINT WHEN EVER IT IS FILLED OVER 3/4 MARK AND DEPENDING ON THE DRIVE IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIME UNTIL UNDER 3/4 MARK. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CHRYSLER UP WITH GAS FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS, MAYBE MORE, THE CAR STARTS AND THEN WITHIN 3 FEET IT SHUTS OFF. THE COMPUTER SAYS THAT THE SYSTEM IS OK. THIS HAPPENS 3 TO FOUR TIMES IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS CAUSED MINOR BUMPER PROBLEMS. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. FINALLY, IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY, INSPECTED BY BETTENHAUSEN, FIAT IN TINLEY PARK, BUT WE NEVER GOT A RESPONSE OR THE PROBLEM ALLEVIATE. IT DID THE SAME THING TODAY ON THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD, THERE WERE NO CARS NEXT TO ME. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONLY WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO THE FULL CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. JS

VEHICLE CONSTANTLY STALLS AFTER FUEL FILL UP NO MATTER WHERE I GET GAS IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE LATE OCT NOW AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE LIKE THIS IF I HAVE TO GO OUT OF TOWN. IT STOPS ABOUT 3 TO 5 TIMES AFTER I FILL TANK WITH FUEL THEN AFTER A WHILE IT STOPS. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND I'M CONCERNED AS TO WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS. *TR

FILLED UP TANK AT LOCAL GAS STATION.. AFTER STARTING, THE ENGINE STALLED OUT AT THE GAS STATION. RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND HEADED HOME, WHICH IS ONE BLOCK FROM THE STATION. PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY AND THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. MOMENTUM CARRIED ME UNDER THE CARPORT. RESTARTED ENGINE 5 MORE TIMES. EACH TIME IT STALLED OUT. HAD TO FIND ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION FOR OUT OF TOWN TRIP. CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS CONTINUED ISSUE. 300C. *TR

FILLED GAS TANK AT STATION. DROVE .25 MILE AND VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT. STALLED 3 MORE TIMES WITHIN THE NEXT MILE. I PARKED CAR AND SHUT IT OFF. RESTARTED 30 MINUTES LATER AND DROVE ABOUT 1.5 MILES AND IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. NO PROBLEMS UNTIL I FILLED UP AT A DIFFERENT GAS STATION 5 DAYS LATER. IT STALLED AGAIN AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE STATION. IT ALWAYS STARTS RIGHT UP. *TR

AFTER FILLING CAR IT STALLED AS PULLING AWAY FROM FUEL ISLAND,RESTARTED DROVE 1/8 MI TO STOP SIGN ,STALLED RESTARTED ,DID THIS 4 TIMES IN A ROW ,DID NOT TRUST CAR FOR PLANNED TRIP,USED OTHER CAR. HAS HAPPENED TOTAL OF 6 TIMES NOW ,IF CAR SETS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER REFUELING IT IS OK .ONLY HAS HAPPENED AT REFILLING TANK,WE DO NOT KEEP CLICKING NOZZLE,TO GET MOST IN . HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT WITH MY WIFE(HER CAR,LOVES IT ) AFTER FILL UP, CAR STALLED GOING AROUND A TURN AND SHE ALMOST HIT A STONE WALL,LOST OF BRAKES,STEERING. (ONLY TIME IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING.) 99% AS COMING TO STOP, AND ALWAYS RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AND DIES FREQUENTLY AT IDLE AND ROAD SPEED AFTER FILL-UP. *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

VEHICLE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES. VEHICLE NOW HAS 170,000 MILES. *TR

THE CHRYSLER DIES AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. IT MAY DIE SEVERAL TIMES FOR A FEW MILES. USUALLY AT SLOW SPEED OR AT TAKE OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE WAS ENTERING INTO THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, IN ADDITION TO SEVERAL OTHER UNKNOWN REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

2006 CHRYSLER 300. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REAR BRAKE TUBES RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM WAS INSPECTED A FEW YEARS AGO, AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. IN AUGUST OF 2013, THE BRAKES FAILED. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER WAS CHARGED AND IS NOW SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT DUE TO THE RECALL.

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

AFTER FUELING VEHICLE, CAR STALLS SEVERAL TIMES SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION. MUST STOP, TURN CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON EACH TIME. AFTER DRIVING AROUND 3-4 MILES, PROBLEM DISSIPATES. ALWAYS FILL CAR ON SLOWEST SETTING ON NOZZLE AND REMOVE WHEN CLICKS OFF ( NEVER OVERFILL). THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

NOT ABLE TO FILL GAS TANK TO FULL. IF FILLED TO FULL MARK OR ALLOWED FOR GAS STATION PUMP TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AT FULL. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER A FEW BLOCKS.THIS WILL HAPPEN 3-5 TIMES BEFORE YOU CAN CONTINUE.THIS CAN HAPPEN AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND IS VERY DANGEROUS.THIS STARTED EARLY 2012 AND WILL DO THIS AT EVERY FULL FILL UP. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 15 TIMES. I CAN NOT HAVE A FULL TANK ANYMORE. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE 2010 AND HAD 30K MILES ON IT. IT NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM TILL 2011 OR ABOUT 60K MILES. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE FAILURE WAS SPORADIC. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO REMOVED AND FLUSHED THE FUEL TANK BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER STATED THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT REPLACE HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,338. UPDATED 04/22/14 MA

HAD JUST FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH GAS. IT CUT OFF IN TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES THAT DAY. THIS HAS CONTINUED SINCE. HAS ALMOST BEEN REGULAR FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. *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

CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 2006 STALLS AFTER REFUELING. THIS HAS BEEN DANGEROUS FOR ME SINCE I'M JUST MAKING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE UNEXPECTED STALLING IN INTERSECTIONS AND REFUELING. THE CAR WILL 'BUCK' UNEXPECTEDLY AND THE STALL. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT IT CONTINUES STALL FOR SOME TIME AFTER THE REFUELING. I UNDERSTAND AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE PILE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD ACTIVATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE TURNED OFF WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD FAIL TO POWER OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,959.

AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION THE CAR WILL STALL AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FOR APPROXIMATELY 2-6 MILES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DEPENDING ON THE DRIVING CONDITIONS. AFTER THAT IT RUNS FINE. *TR

OUR CAR IS CHRYSLER 300C AWD MODEL YEAR 2006. CURRENTLY CAR HAS ABOUT 46000 MILES. RECENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARRING ENGINE STOPS TO WORK. FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON DECEMBER 11, 2013 SHORTLY AFTER WE LEFT THE GAS STATION WERE WE FILL UP THE TANK. WE COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR AND TOWED THE CAR HOME PAYING FEE OF $75. NEXT DAY THE CAR STARTED AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON DECEMBER 27, 2013 WHILE DRIVING FOR FEW MILES RIGHT AFTER WE FILL UP THE TANK. THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT WARRING ON MAIN ROAD. LUCKILY, WE WERE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT AND WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DROVE TO SIDE LINE. THE CAR IS NOW IN OUR GARAGE BUT WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE FROM FEAR OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AS WE DEEM THE CAR UNRELIABLE. WE RESEARCHED ON THE WEB SIDES AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR MODEL AND CARS WITH SIMILAR ENGINE TRAIN HAVE IDENTICAL OR SIMILAR EXPERIENCES AND HAVE FILED FORMAL COMPLAINTS. *TR

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

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

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

I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITED THE CAR. WHEN I RETURN TO ATTEMPT TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK I WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. AFTER RESEARCHING AND SPEAKING WITH MY LOCAL CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALERSHIP AND GETTING MY VEHICLE TAKEN TO THEM IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK BROKE. IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ALREADY ISSUED MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED ALTHOUGH IT IS INCLUDED IN THE YEAR OF THE ISSUED RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHRYSLER RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON TO CONTACT NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I RECENTLY HEARD MY CAR MAKING A TICKING NOISE SO I DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN TO BE CHECKED & WHILE THERE HAVE MY VEHICLE GET AN EARLY OIL CHANGE. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS MAKING MY CAR TICK WELL TO MY SURPRISE I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY ENGINE & THAT WHILE THEY WERE DOING MY OIL CHANGE THEY SAW THAT MY OIL WAS GREYISH IN COLOR & IT ALSO HAD METAL SHAVINGS IN MY OIL...WHICH MEANS MY ENGINE IS BREAKING DOWN. THEY ADVISED ME TO NOT TO DRIVE HOME ON THE HIGHWAY BUT TO TAKE THE STREETS HOME. HOW COULD THIS BE? MY CAR IS ONLY SEVEN THAT'S RIGHT ONLY 7 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY AROUND 58,503 MILES ON IT (AND BY THE WAY I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW I'M THE ONLY OWNER) I NOW FIND OUT THAT CHRYSLER ONLY COVERS THEIR VEHICLES FOR 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES OR WHAT EVER COMES 1ST. *TR

AFTER EVERY FUEL FILLUP, MY CHRYSLER 300C STALLS OUT COMPLETELY. THIS HAS BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY CHRYSLER 300C FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IN ADDITION, THE CAR STALLS RIGHT AFTER I LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND PULL INTO TRAFFIC. *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. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR UP IMMEDIATELY WITH NO HESITATION. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ON 11/18/2013 AND TWICE ON 11/20/2013. 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

EVERY TIME WE GET THE CAR FILLED WITH GAS IT STALLS UNTIL WE DRIVE AND RESTART IT FOR 2 OR 3 MILES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM AFRAID THAT THERE WILL BE SOMEONE THAT RUNS INTO ME DURING ONE OF THE STALLS. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP BUT THAT DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM. I WENT ON LINE AND NOW SEE THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BY CHRYSLER TO IMMEDIATELY CORRECT THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM!!! *TR
