WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NOWHERE, I NOTICED THAT MY COOLANT INDICATOR LEVER HAD NOT MOVED. A FEW MILES LATER, IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGH SO I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND THEN IT STARTED SMOKING SO BAD I THOUGHT IT WOULD CATCH FIRE! I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO OPEN THE HOOD BECAUSE I WAS SO AFRAID! THANKFULLY FOR A FDOT OFFICER WHO DID OPEN IT AND STAYED WITH ME IN POURING RAIN UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME! AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING BELT BROKE NOT GIVING ME ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER AND RESULTED IN MY ENGINE FAILURE. THEY STATED I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE AT A COST OF OVER $7000!!! I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED HOW THIS ALL HAPPENED! NO WARNING! NO WAY TO HAVE KNOWN THERE WAS AN ISSUE OR THAT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING! CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

WHEN SITTING IN PARK AND CAR RUNNING IT SURGES UP AND DOWN.

IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME, ANY TIME. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART IF YOU DON'T DO IT THAT WAY IT WILL START AND SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR ON 9/22/2017 AND IT HAS HAPPENED EVERYDAY SINCE. I'VE LEARNED THAT IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE SITTING FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF.

WHEN MY KEY IS TURNED TO THE "ON" POSITION WITHOUT FULLY STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT STARTS STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WILL NOT START WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL RETURN TO NORMAL PERFORMANCE. BY NORMAL PERFORMANCE, I MEAN IT WILL START WITHOUT PRESSING GAS PEDAL AND NO STALLING AT LOW SPEED.

SOMEONE CAN HIT ME FROM BEHIND IF CAR JUST STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

RIGHT AFTER REFUELING THE CAR IT ENDED UP STALLING AT A RED LIGHT. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF SO I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE ENGINE CONTINUOUSLY SHUT OFF AT EVERY STOP. IT EVEN HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A U-TURN, SO I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET UNTIL RECRANKING THE CAR. I DID RESEARCH AND NOTICED THIS WAS A FUEL TANK PROBLEM DO TO A FAULTY VALVE PLACED IN THE FUEL TANK. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR SOME 2006 CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS, BUT NOT ALL. LEAVING ME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO HELP GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED. EVEN THOUGH IT IS THERE FAULT FOR BUILDING A FAULTY VALVE.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
