2006 Chrysler 300 complaints

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK ON ABOUT 28,800 OF THE ABOVE VEHICLE BROKE. A BROKEN INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK WILL RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE 'PARK' POSITION. THERE IS A RECALL FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER FOR THE FOLLOWING VEHICLE WHICH IS THE SAME AS MINE BUT THE "LX": 2005 - 2007 (LX) DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300. WHY DOES THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE SAME AUTOMOBILE, WITH THE SAME YEAR DOES NOT APPLY TO A "SL"? HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO SPEND TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I PARKED MY CAR AND ON MY WAY TO WORK I COULD NOT MOVE THE GEAR, IT STUCK TO P.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF ALL AT ONCE. I IMMEDIATELY PUT EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND CRANK IT UP ONLY FOR IT TO DO THE SAME THING 3 OR 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS TO DRIVE NORMAL AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, TURNING OR WHENEVER IT FEEL LIKE CUTTING OFF.

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE STARTED STALLING RIGHT AFTER I STARTED DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, DURING A HEAVY TRAFFIC HOUR ON CITY STREET. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITING A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE OFTEN. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE. AFTER TALKING WITH THEM TODAY, THEY SAID TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN ALMOST FULL OF GAS AND THEY WILL TOP IT OFF AND CHECK FOR THE STALLING. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, KNOWING IT WILL STALL IN TRAFFIC. THE COST TO REPAIR IF NOT COVERED IS APPROX. $1,500. I ASKED ABOUT THE EXTENDED LIFETIME COVERAGE AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT YOU. MY PROBLEM MATCHES EXACTLY WHAT IS DOCUMENTED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION DOCUMENT PE 13-016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER IT WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WORLD JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (681 SHREWSBURY AVE, SHREWSBURY, NJ 07702, (732) 918-1380). THE DEALER REWIRED THE ELECTRICAL LINE TO THE FUEL PUMP. AFTER THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE, IT STALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOOSE FUEL LINE THAT CAUSED THE ISSUE TO RECUR. THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A CASE MANAGER WOULD CALL HIM BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 199,000.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. THERE IS A RECALL TO FIX THIS ON MY YEAR AND MODEL CAR BUT I AM BEING TOLD MY PARTICULAR VIN # IS NOT ON THE LIST. THE RECALL IS CALLED " CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39". I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED WHEN THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN THIS RECALLL. THIS CUSTOMER IS NOT SATISFIED!

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE CAR SOMETIMES STALLS AT SLOW SPEEDS OR LOW RPM UNTIL A GALLON OR SO OF GAS IS USED UP, THE CAUSE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING.

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.

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OR BUCK WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AFTER FILLING YOUR GAS TANK.

AT TIMES WHEN IT HAS STALLED IT RESTARTS AND SURGES UP AND DOWN. SOMETIMES THE CAR DRIVES PERFECT, THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE PROBLEM IS BACK. NOW ONE THING I HAVE NOTICED IS WHEN I FILL THE TANK ABOVE HALF WAY IT SEEMS TO BE FINE, BUT ONCE IT GETS TO HALF WAY MARK AND BELOW IS WHEN I NOTICE THIS PROBLEM AND IT STAYS UNTIL ABOUT THE EMPTY MARK NOT SURE WHY THAT IS, EITHER THE TANK, PUMP, FILTER NOT REALLY SURE BUT DEFINITELY CAN BE A DANGEROUS CONDITION IF NOT ADDRESSED. IF EVER ONE DAY I WAS TO NEED THE POWER TO BE THERE FOR SOME REASON THE CAR JUST FALLS ON ITS FACE WHEN THE PEDAL IS APPLIED.

FUEL TANK EXTENDED WARRANTY ON 2006 CHRYSLER 300

5 MIN AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE CAR STARTED LURCHING FORWARD. TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET, PRESSED GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. THEN RESTARTED AS IF NORMAL. WE HAD 2 GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR ON A VERY BUSY STREET. THIS COULD EASILY HAVE CREATED AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM, FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM. BUT, WHEN I ENTERED THE VIN ON THIS SITE, IT STATES NO RECALLS FOR THIS VIN. WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE ORIGINAL OWNER IS DECEASED SO I CAN'T OBTAIN ANY INFO/HISTORY ON THE CAR.

AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL STRONG FUEL SMELL AND ENGINE COMING ON WITH A CODE OF FUEL TANK PRESSURE HAD CHECK TANK IS LEAKING FROM TOP

VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL WHAT LOOKS LIKE MAY BE A GASKET UNDER REAR SEAT IN VEHICLE... SMELL IS EVEN STRONGER AFTER FILLING UP, AND WHEN MAKING HARD STOPS. THERE IS NO GASOLINE SEEN LEAKING FROM UNDER CAR AT THIS TIME. CONCERNED ABOUT FIRE HAZARD. HEARD OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS COULD ALSO BE A VERY SIGNIFICANT FIRE CONCERN AS THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG IN GARAGE WITH VEHICLE PARKED, AND COULD BE A PROBLEM WHEN GAS APPLIANCES OR WATER HEATERS COME IN PROXIMITY TO VEHICLE.

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 VEHIC

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

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. HAD TO WALK 10 MILES TO GET HOME AT 11PM.SEARCHED FOR RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND CHRYSLER NOTIFICATION K39. EVEN WITH OVER 20,000 REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM DEALER SHOP REFUSED TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFTER INTERLOCK AND STATED MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL AND WILL CHARGE ME FOR REPAIR.

WENT TO LEAVE IN MY CAR AND IT WAS STUCK IN PARK.

WENT TO LEAVE IN MY CAR AND IT IS STUCK IN PARK.

SHORTLY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, WHETHER STANDING OR AT CONSIDERABLE SPEED, CAR STALLS SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED (IE 65 MPH ON ROUTE 80) CAR WILL SHUDDER AND THEN RESTART ITSELF; AT SLOW SPEED DRIVER MUST RESTART MANUALLY BY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND USING IGNITION. IF PARKED AT IDLE, CAR WILL JUST STOP SEVERAL TIMES. OCCURS AT ALL LEVELS OF GAS TANK PRIOR TO REFILL. (I AM FORCED TO SELECT A DATE, BELOW, BUT IT HAS HAPPEN MANY TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR.)
