THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THERE ARE NO CODES OR WARNING. IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE MOVING, AND WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT. ONE TIME ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH MY SON IN THE CAR! I HAVE REPLACED THE COMPUTER, THROTTLE BODY, AND SEVERAL COIL PACKS. WHILE EACH REPAIR HELPED THE CAR WILL STILL STALL. VERY FRUSTRATING!
ENGINE JUST WENT OUT NO WARNING HAD CUT OFF AN WOULD NOT START.

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.

I NOTICE MY LIGHTS BLINKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHEN I WAS BEHIND A BIG TRUCK. SINCE THEN IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN ALMOST EVERYTIME I START THE CAR AND TENDS TO GO AWAY AFTER 30 MINUTES OF RUNNING. AT NIGHT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK AND SOMETIMES GO COMPLETELY OFF.. WHEN I TURN THEM OFF THEY COME BACK ON..THEN GO OUT AGAIN I TURN THE SWITCH AND THEY COME BACK ON.. SOMETIMES THE DASH LIGHTS ALSO GO COMPLETELY OUT AND OTHER TIMES THEY GO FROM DIM TO BRIGHT AND BACK TO DIM.

I FIRST NOTICED SURGING AT IDLE WHEN IN GEAR, THIS GREW INTO STALLING DURING STOPS AND NOW IS STALLING/STUMBLING WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY STALL WHILE MOVING AND HAD HIGH POTENTIAL FOR DANGER. I HAVE NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO ENGINE CODES. THIS CAR IS AN SRT8 AND DRIVEN VERY SELDOM, ESPECIALLY NOW. IT'S ACTUALLY PARKED NOW DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE MAINTENANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN METICULOUS AND MECHANICS HAVE COME UP DRY WITH TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
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

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.
