2005 Chrysler 300c complaints

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AROUND MY HOME GOING ABOUT 25-27MPH. I CAME TO A STOP AND MY CAR LITERALLY WENT UP IN WHITE SMOKE, LEAKED LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL AND THAN THE CAR SHUT OFF, AT TIME I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND HAVE BEEN TILL THIS DAY TAKING IT TO MANY REPAIR SHOPS TO HAVE WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS WRONG FIXED UNTIL I FINALLY TOOK IT TO ENGINE SPECIALIST AND SAID ENGINE BLEW. I HAVE NOT HAD CAR MORE THAN 3 YEARS AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT AND REFUSE TO HELP. IT IS NOT FAIR TO US WHO PAY SO MUCH MONEY ON A CAR THAT CHRYSLER THEM SELF TOLD ME WAS A BIG ISSUE IN THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 V8 HEMI HAVING ENGINE FAILURE AND DON'T EVEN RECOMMEND PEOPLE TO BUY THIS PATICULAR MODEL OF CAR.. PLEASE HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THINK THESE ENGINES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THEM.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE CAR WILL STALL REPEATEDLY FOR SEVERAL MILES. IT THEN RUNS NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. I RECENTLY BOUGHT THE CAR FOR MY SON WHO JUST TURNED 16. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THE FIRST TIME HE FILLED UP WHILE DRIVING ALONE. NEEDLESS TO SAY HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE STATE HIGHWAY HE WAS DRIVING ON (3 LANES EACH DIRECTION) BEFORE IT TOTALLY STOPPED. THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF SO HE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME EVEN TURNING OFF THE MAIN ROAD. IT NOW HAS DONE THE SAME THING FOR THE LAST 3 FILL UPS WHICH WERE ALL AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO RULE OUT BAD GAS AT A PARTICULAR STATION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

AFTER REFUELING, VEHICLE WILL START MOVING AND THEN ENGINE "CHOKES OUT AND CUTS OFF . ACTING AS IF I JUST PUT IN BAD FUEL. I CAN SIT AND IDEAL AND IT WILL RUN JUST FINE, I CAN RACE THE ENGINE AND THERE IS NOT PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE, JUST AS IT SEEMS TO BECOMING OUT OF 1ST GEAR IT CHOKES OUT AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. I ACCELERATED TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, JUST AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE ENGINE CHOKES OUT AND CUTS OFF AND MY FAMILY WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. EACH TIME ENGINE CUTS OFF I LOOSE BRAKE AND STEERING FUNCTION. THIS IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME NOW, WHEN I FILL THE TANK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL BUT MANY REPORTS TO CHRYSLER SERVICE.

AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK: VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. DIFFICULT RESTARTS. THIS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. AT THE SECOND OCCASION, AFTER FILLING, I COULD HEAR PROLONGED "GURGLING" SOUND FROM FUEL TANK FILLER NECK. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL TANK VENTING SYSTEM - PERHAPS A CLOGGED VENT TUBE.

MY PASSENGER SEATBELT ISN'T FUNCTIONAL THE LAST TIME IT WAS CLICKED INSIDE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO RELEASE. I 'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THE CHRYSLER COMPANY CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. FREE NO CHARGE!

THE CAR STALLS WHILE COMING TO A STOP OR WHEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. IN A FEW MINUTES THE CAR WILL START AND DRIVE JUST FINE UNTIL THE SAME THING OCCURS AGAIN

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND THE CAR DEALER HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 5 MONTHS. NOTIFICATION CODE-P40

FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS AND THE CAR DIED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF THE GAS STATION. RESTARTED THE CAR AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TWO MORE TIMES. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED AFTER EVER FILL UP SINCE. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE MAY 1ST 2015. THE ISSUES WITH IT DYING STARTED HAPPENING THE VERY FIRST FILL UP. WE JUST FIGURED IT WAS A VAPOR LOCK BUT AFTER READING THE COMPLIANTS, OVIOUSLY NOT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS SOMEONE IS GOING TO HURT.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2015 IT SHUT OFF. STOPPED CAR AND RESTARTED IT BUT KEPT SHUTTING OFF. GOT HOME AND DISCONNECTED BATTERY WHILE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND CAR SHUT OFF. CHANGED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. TODAY 5/11/15, WHILE DRIVING I PUT A/C ON AND CAR SHUT OFF. GOT CAR HOME AND ANALYZED PROBLEM. WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING CAR IDLES LOW THEN SHUTS OFF. HOWEVER WHEN A/C IS ON OR OFF CAR SHUTS OFF. ANY RECALLS? VERY FRUSTRATED!

THE K39 TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK LEAVER WENT BAD. IT WOULD NOT LET ME TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2007 CHRYLSER 300C, BUT NOT ON THE 2005. I FOUND NUMEROUS CLAIM ON LINE ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PIECE IN THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. *TR

MY WIFE WAS TAKING OUR TWO KIDS TO SCHOOL WHEN THE CAR MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE WHEN FIRST TRYING TO START THE CAR EARLY IN THE MORNING. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND THAT THE CYLINDER VALVE SEAT FELL OFF THE CYLINDER HEAD AND FELL DOWN INTO THE PISTON CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VALVES AND PISTON. REPLACING THE ENGINE FOR $8000 WAS AN OPTION, HOWEVER YOU ARE REPLACING IT WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURES DEFECT OF THIS ENGINE FOR 2005-2006 CHRYSLER 300 C. THIS HAPPENED 4 MONTHS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING CAR UP WITH GAS. *TR

WE WERE ON A CROSS-COUNTRY TRIP AND ONE NIGHT WE HAD JUST FILLED UP AND WENT ACROSS THE PARKING LOT TO A FAST FOOD WINDOW AND WHILE GETTING OUR FOOD THE CAR STARTING JERKING AND DIED. IT WAS HARD TO START BUT FINALLY WE WERE ABLE TO GO A LITTLE FURTHER AND IT DIED AT OUR HOTEL. THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WHENEVER WE FILLED UP THE CAR WOULD STALL SEVERAL TIMES. IT STOPPED FOR AWHILE BUT RECENTLY HAS STARTED DYING AGAIN WHEN I FILL UP. LAST NIGHT I FILLED UP AND THE CAR DIED SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC. WE DO NOT OVERFILL AND TIGHTEN THE GAS CAP TIGHTLY. *TR

MY 2005 300C 5.7L RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF FOR A SPLIT SECOND THAN START AGAIN IF I'M MOVING. I'M I'M AT LOW SPEED BELOW 10 OR AT A STOP THE CAR WITH DIE. I CAN RESTART BUT IT CAN TAKE A SECOND TO GO BACK IN GEAR. I'VE SEEN MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOONE HAS HAD A GOOD FIX. THIS IS NOT ONLY AFTER FUELING WITH MY CAR IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE HARD WHILE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. 60+. *TR

AFTER REFUELING, ENGINE STOPS RUNNING AT LOW SPEED OR IDLE. ENGINE RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY. AFTER SEVERAL MILES AND 4 OR 5 RESTARTS ENGINE RUNS SMOOTHLY. DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF LOSS OF ACCELERATION, STEERING AND BRAKING. *TR

AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STAYS ON. *TR

SIMILAR TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE'S ISSUES. I GET FUEL AND THEN WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL STALL. HAPPENS FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER I GET GAS NOT EVEN A COMPLETELY FULL TANK. IT BECOMES A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE I LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHEN IT STALLS. WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AS IT CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY MUST BE AWARE OF. HTTP://SANFRANCISCO.CBSLOCAL.COM/2014/05/06/OWNERS-OF-MORE-THAN-150000-CHRYSLERS-WARNED-THAT-THEIR-CARS-COULD-SUDDENLY-STALL/ . *TR

I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND WHEN I LEFT THE GAS STATION, ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO DRIFT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT WENT BAD. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN A CAR STALLS PULLING OUT ON TO A BUSY HIGHWAY.

FILLED UP GAS TANK AND CAR STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT HAD TO RESTART AND THEN STALLED AS I WAS GETTING ONTO THE FREEWAY HAD TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS WITH CARS BEHIND ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE, THE LID FELL DOWNWARD AND STRUCK THE CONTACT'S HEAD. THE INCIDENT CAUSED A SMALL LACERATION THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HINGES WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE WAS ALSO PRESENT ON THE TRUNK LID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V817000 (INCOMPLETE-AIR BAG) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE RECALL WAS INCOMPLETE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

FOR LAST YEAR IF WE FILL THE GAS TANK TO FULL THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE FUEL STATION. HIGHLY DANGEROUS. MY WIFE DOESN'T FILL THE TANK ANYMORE AFTER THREE INCIDENTS WHERE SHE WAS ALMOST HIT DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL WE MOVED CAR TO FLORIDA. MAYBE RELATED TO GAS TEMPERATURE IN GAS STATION VERSUS FUEL TEMPERATURE IN CAR? *TR

2005 CHRYSLER 300 HEMI 5.7. IF YOU ALMOST FILL GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL OUT WITHOUT WARNING FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS. I HAVE ASKED THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY SHOW NO TSB OR RECALL. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE SEEN MANY ARTICLES ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FILLING UP. IN REFERENCE TO PE13016, THE ACTION REFERS TO CARS FROM MODEL YEARS 2005 AND 2006. YET, THE FINAL INVESTIGATION RESULTS ONLY INCLUDE THE 2006 MODEL YEAR? 2005 CARS ARE ALSO AFFECTED. THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED NOT ONLY IN COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE BUT ALL OVER IN INTERNET FORUMS. YOU KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM, CHRYSLER KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM THUS A RECALL OF THE MODEL YEAR 2006. DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL MODEL YEAR 2005 BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WHEN THE VEHCLE DIES YOU LOSE YOUR POWER BRAKES, YOUR POWER STEERING, AND YOU ARE A SITTING DUCK. RECALL THE 2005'S AND FIX THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. *JS

FILLED UP AT COSTCO AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE CAR STALLED, RESTARTED AND STALLED FIVE MORE TIMES IN THREE MILES. THE STALLING DOES CREATE A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION. *TR

AFTER REFUELING MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C, IT WILL STALL AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAVE READ THE REPORT PE13-016, WHICH COVERS THE 2006 CHRYSLER MODEL. *TR

THE CAR RIDES SMOOTH ON GOOD ROADS BUT ON ROUGH ROADS IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING IS FALLING OFF UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THE BUSHINGS REPLACED AND TIE RODS REPLACED. THE FRONT END SHOP AND MY MECHANIC HAVE BOTH TRIED TO FIND WHAT WAS MAKING ALL THE NOISE AND BANGING AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING THAT IS LOOSE WHEN IT IS ON THE LIFT. I LOVE THE CAR BUT THE NOISES ARE IRRITATING AND EMBARRASSING TO THOSE THAT RIDE WITH ME. COULD NOT GET THE APPROX. DATE TO WORK, IT BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS HELP!! *TR

CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE. ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE REGULARLY. CAME HOME TUESDAY NIGHT. ATTEMPTED TO START CAR NEXT MORNING WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. CAR WAS TOWED TO SHOP AND MECHANIC ADVISED NO COMPRESSION ON #3 CYLINDER. ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT. HOW CAN A CAR RUN FINE ONE DAY AND WITH NO WARNING INDICATOR ALERTS AND NO TROUBLE RUNNING NEED A NEW ENGINE THE NEXT? MECHANIC STATES POSSIBLE VALVE SPRING CAME APART. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. I REFUEL THE CAR. THE CAR STARTS FINE. LEAVING THE GAS STATION I SLOW DOWN BEFORE ENTERING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE STALLS. I RESTART THE ENGINE FINE. I PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND IF I MAKE A LEFT TURN, AND APPLY THE BRAKES AFTER ENTERING THE TURN, THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR ALWAYS RESTARTS FINE. HOWEVER, THE CAR WILL THEN STALL AT AN IDLE CONDITION, AS WHEN WAITING FOR A LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. AFTER A FEW RESTARTS, OR PROLONGED DRIVING, THE CONDITION GOES AWAY. HOWEVER, IT SCARES MY WIFE SILLY. I JUST READ THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 AND I AM TAKING THIS CAR TO LINWOOD CHRYSLER THIS TUESDAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE MYSELF, AND TO LET YOU KNOW MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. BY THE WAY, WHEN THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

FILLED UP TANK AT GAS STATION AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED, RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY BUT FELT SLUGGISH. STARTED A RIGHT TURN AND ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN! THIS REALLY SCARRED ME AS IT WAS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! I RESTARTED AND STALLED A BLOCK LATER. I TOOK CAR TO A MECHANIC TO TEST GAS AND HE FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. THE CAR RAN FINE THE NEXT DAY. ON 1-17-2015 I STOPPED AT COSTCO TO FILL UP, CAR STALLED IMMEDIATELY AS I STARTED TO PULL AWAY THE GAS STATION. CAR DIED ABOUT 5 OTHER TIMES WITHIN THE PARKING LOT OF COSTCO. THE CAR WOULD RESTART IMMEDIATELY. I DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO THE EXPRESS WAY AND DROVE 35 MILES HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE UNEXPECTED STALLING OF THE ENGINE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IN MY CASE, THIS SECOND TIME I WAS ON A BUSY PARKING LOT ON A SATURDAY WITH CARS TURNING AND CERTAINLY NO ONE EXPECTS A CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, OVER THE YEARS I HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WHERE THE STATION GAS PUMP WOULD STOP EVEN AFTER PUMPING LESS THAN HALF A GALLON. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP AT THE STATION AND I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER PUMP OR ANOTHER STATION AND IT WOULD FILL UP OK. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ALWAYS ON. *TR

FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, MY CHRYSLER 300C WOULD OCCASIONALLY STALL. MOSTLY IT WOULD BE AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR WOULD STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I JUST RECENTLY REALIZED, IT WOULD OCCUR WHEN I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS SHOCKING THAT AN ISSUE LIKE THIS COULD GO THIS LONG WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS, DUE TO THIS ISSUE... I COULD SEE THIS ISSUE BECOMING MORE OF AN NOTICEABLE PROBLEM, DUE TO THE LOWER GAS PRICES. I USUALLY PUT IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY WHEN I FILL UP. NOT UNTIL MORE RECENTLY, WITH THE LOWER GAS PRICES, THAT AMOUNT FILLS MY TANK. THAT IS WHY IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO REALIZE THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK. *TR

AFTER FILLING CAR WITH GAS IT DIES JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 WEEKS AGO AND IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ALL AFTER GETTING GAS, LOOKED AND NO RECALLS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. *JS

OTHER VEHICLE CROSSED OVER YELLOW LINE AND HIT OUR CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE ON DRIVERS SIDE ALL THE WAY TO BACK AND KNOCKED OFF THE BACK DRIVERS WHEEL AND SENT US SPINNING AROUND INTO AND WRAPPED AROUND TELEPHONE POLE. MY LEGS WERE PINNED UNDER DASH AND COULDN'T MOVE, PASSENGER DOOR HAD BEEN BADLY DAMAGED AND PUSHED IN ABOUT ONE FOOT. HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE CAR TO GET ME OUT, TAKEN TO ER. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHICH I FIND QUITE ODD. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE AND WHO TO CONTACT TO FIND OUT WHY AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. WE DO HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES TO BACK UP OUR CLAIM. *TR

THIS IS MESSAGE IS TO HELP YOU OUT. MY 2005 300 STALLED WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AS WELL, AND FINALLY IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE GAS TANK FROM FRONT TO BACK NEEDED TO GET REPLACED. DONT LET THE DEALER TELL YOU OTHERWISE. MY CAR WAS FIXED AND HAS BEEN FINE EVER SINCE. EVERYTHING THAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT IT STALLING AFTER PUMPING GAS TO THE MAX AND THE WHEEL LOCKING W/O NOTICE HAS TO DO WITH THE GAS PUMP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IT BEGAN WHEN I STARTED PUMPING GAS AFTER IT REACH LIKE 10 GALLONS OF FUEL THE CLICKER WILL STOP AS IF IT WAS FULL TANK ALREADY BUT STILL NEEDED A LONG WAY TO FILL UP SO I AUTOMATICALLY BEGAN TO PUMP GAS AND IT KEPT CLICKING AND CLICKING IT DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP PUMPING SO I STOP AS I BEGAN DRIVING THE CAR BEGAN TO PULLED IT SELF HARD LIKE IF IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS CHECK ENGINE AND THE ESP BAS LIGHT WHEN ON STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS GOT ME WORRIED WHEN ON IT KEPT DOING IT SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE EGR VALVE ,THERMOSTAT AND SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPAIR I ASKED IF THEIR WAS A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE RECEIVED A LATER STATING THAT SOMETHING THAT'S HAS TO DO WITH THE GAS TANK,HE LOOKED IT UP AND HE SAID NO. I DID THE LABOR THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO CAR IT WAS OK FOR COUPLE HRS THEN IT BEGAN TO DO THE SAME THING LUNGING THEN CAR STALLED TRY TO RESTARTED IT WOULDN'T GO ON WAITED COUPLE MINS TRIED AGAIN AND IT WOULDN'T START GAVE IT A LIL LONGER TIME THEN TRY TO TURN IT ON AGAIN AND IT FINALLY STARTED AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES I REALLY NEED TO FIX IT I FIND IT DANGEROUS.. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME STUCK IN PARK. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AFTER FILLING MY FUEL TANK THE CAR WOULD STALL AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 5 - 30 MPH CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. UPON SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL IT WOULD START BUT WOULD STALL 2 OR 3 MORE TIMES. I WAS NOT SURE OF THE CAUSE UNTIL JUNE OF THIS YEAR WHEN I GOT A NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. THIS WAS 7/16/2014. TO DATE THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART AND I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT PRODUCING THEM. THE CAR IN THIS STATE IS NOT SAFE. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WERE GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THERE MUST BE SOME RECOURSE TO FORCE A MANUFACTURER TO HONOR A RECALL. *TR

THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOOSE MY POWER STEERING AND HAVE TO TRY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF IT WILL THEN RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS FROM10-70. THE SECOND ISSUE IS SOMETIMES THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD ON ITS OWN OR ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WHAT I AM PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THESE CARS AND WE ALL SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT WHEN WE TAKE IT TO MECHANICS SINCE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT THEY CAN'T TELL US WHAT'S WRONG. I HAVE HAD SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS WITH THESE ISSUES AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS. I AM SURE THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THESE SAME ISSUES BUT IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN TRACED BACK TO THE CAR, IT WAS PROBABLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. *TR

I REAR ENDED A CAR.THE HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED AND NOW MY HEAD LIGHTS BLINK WHILE I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT. PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE OR THE MECHANIC WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.MY 2005 CHRYSLER300 C ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING.MY LOCAL DEALER DELRAY MOTORS. WHERE DO I TURN? OR CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX IT .MY WINDOWS WONT GO DOWN MY AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF.PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.I ALSO EMAILED THE NATIONAL HWY SAFETY COMPANY, BUT STILL NO RESPONSE. *TR

I COULD NOT SHIFT MY CAR OUT OF PARK. I WAS SO SURPRISED I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. ICALLED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED IN. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN A SMALL PINK PLASTIC PIECE, CALLED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. THIS PART WAS RECALLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL OR IF MY CAR WAS EVEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. FURTHER RESEARCH DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL, SHOWN AS FOR MODEL YEARS 2005-2008, WAS ACTUALLY INCLUDED BUT DID NOT KNOW SO PAID FOR REPAIR. I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT THE RECALL. NEVER!!!!! *TR

ON SATOT HAVING BE.8/30/14 MY 300C WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I NOT USED THE CARE TO GO TO MY VETERANS HOSPITAL APPOINTMENTS AND COULD NOT GO BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE GEAR SHIFTER OUT OF PARK! I HAD TO CALL USAA FOR A TOW ON A FLATBED TRUCK TO DARCARS CHRYSLER WALDORF,MD WHO HAS MAINTAINED HIS CAR FOR MANY YEARS. I WAS TOLD BY THE ICE MANAGER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A PINK PLASTIC PIECE IN THE CENTER COUNSEL AND ITS SPRING THAT FAILED, AND IS A COMMON OCCURANCE IN THIS VEHICLE LEAVING IT UNABLE TO MOVE AT ALL-TRASMISSION AND REAR WHEELS LOCKED BY SHIFTER. I CHECKED YOUR PAGES FOR RECALLS AND I SAW TWO RECENT ONES OF THE SAME CAR/STYLE/YEARAS MINE. I NEED MY CAR IT HAS VETERANS "DV' PLATES AS I AM TOTALLY COMBAT WOUNDED AND DISABLED. I THINK CHRYSLER MUST PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT IS THEIR FAULT, THEY KNEW IT FOR YEARS, AND I AM THINKMING OF FILING A FEDERAL COURT CLASS ACTION UNDER 28 USC IN .MD AS WAS AGAINST GM AND FORD.

MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C HAS ONLY 44240 MILES N IT AND NOT ABUSED SINCE MY WIFE AND I ARE TOTALLY DISABLED VTRANS WITH SPECIAL "DV" REGISTRATION SO WE CAN BE DRIVEN TO THE VTRANS HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL SERVICES. ON SAT8/30/14 WHILE IN THE GARAGE AND NOT BEING USED FOR AT LEAST A WEEK, MY CAR'S STICK TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE USE OR MOVEMENT OF THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE. THE USAA TOW TRUCK CARRIER HAD TO DRAG THE REAR END OF THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE ONTO THE FLATBED TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN WALDORF, MD, WHERE ALL THE WARRANTY WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS CAR FROM "DAY ONE!" I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE 2 CHEAP PLASTIC PINK SWITCHES ON THE STICK MECHANISM THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A CHARGE OF ABOUT $250 TO ME AND THE TOW CHARGE ALSO AND THIS WAS RECURRING COMMON "PROBLEM "WITH THE CAR YEAR AND REPORTED TO CHRYSLER AS A RECALL. I WILL INITIATE A CLASS ACTION SUIT IF NECESSARY UNDER 28 USC IN FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT IN GREENBELT, MD, FOR REDRESS OF ANY COSTS TO ME. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IN MOTION, THIS GEAR SHIFT COULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY CHANGE IN GEAR IN ANY EMERGENCY AND CAUSE THE DRIVER TO PANIC. *TR

AFTER REFUELING I PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT. I WAS TURNING RIGHT. I STOPPED BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS RED. A CAR WAS TRAVELING IN THE DIRECTION I WAS HEADED, BUT WAS ABOUT HUNDRED YARDS AWAY. I MADE THE RIGHT TURN AND IMMEDIATELY MY CAR BEGAN TO CHUG THEN JUST STALLED OUT. I WAS DEAD IN THE STREET. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR TO AVOID A NEAR COLLISION, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. THE CAR THAT I HAD PULLED IN FRONT OF EVENTUALLY MADE IT TO WHERE I WAS AT AND SWERVED TO AVOID THE COLLISION. AFTER SEVERAL (3) ATTEMPTS AT STARTING THE VEHICLE; IT STARTED. WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. CHUGGING THEN STALLED OUT. THIS TIME IM GETTING HONKED AT BY THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME TO GO AT THE GREEN LIGHT. I ENDED UP HOLDING TRAFFIC UP UNTIL THE NEXT GREEN LIGHT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE TO SEE IF ANY RECALLS EXISTED ON WHAT SEEMED TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH 2005-2006 300C MODELS. CHRYSLER SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR THE TANK REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT. THE ESTIMATE WAS OVER $1200. I EXPRESSED MY SAFETY CONCERN, BUT WAS AGAIN TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I AM LATE ON THE REPORTING BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW OF THE NHTSA UNTIL A COWORKER MENTIONED IT. *TR

I COULD NOT SHIFT MY CAR OUT OF PARK. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND A KNOWN DEFECT IN A SMALL PINK PLASTIC PIECE, CALLED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. THIS PART WAS RECALLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULD FIX IT ON WEDNESDAY (SIX DAYS LATER) AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. FURTHER RESEARCH DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL, SHOWN AS FOR MODEL YEARS 2005-2008, WAS ACTUALLY LIMITED TO MANUFACTURE DATES IN THIS RANGE. MY CAR WAS BUILT IN 2004. THE REPAIR COST $134, INCLUDING THE $13 PART. I CALLED CHRYSLER TWICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. IT ALSO SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THAT NOT COVERING THE FIRST CARS BUILT, IN 2004, IS A CLERICAL OVERSIGHT, AS 2005 WAS THE FIRST MODEL YEAR. THE SAME POOR-QUALITY PLASTIC WAS USED IN 2004 AS IN 2005-2008. I BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR, IF NOT ALSO FOR THE 6 DAYS WITHOUT USE OF MY CAR, AND THAT ALL CARS BUILT WITH THIS INFERIOR PINK PLASTIC PIECE SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED AND THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED SMOKE AND LARGE FLAMES COMING FROM THE TRUNK. THE FUEL TANK EXPLODED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,646.

AFTER FILLING UP, THE CAR DIED WHILE LEAVING THE GAS LOT ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR STARTED, IT DROVE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DIED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. I ALSO NOTICE WHAT MY MECHANIC CALLS A TOWING EFFECT WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE HAD A FULL FUNE UP ON THE CAR ALONG WITH HAVING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AND THE CAR STILL DIES AND HAS THE TOWING EFFECT WHEN I DRIVE. THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE AND FROM SEEING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING, WHY HASN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN ADDRESSED. IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS, THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT. *TR

GEAR SHIFT STUCK IN PARK. CALLED CHRYSLER DEALER ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED, BUT SAID "YOUR VIN" ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL THAT THEY HAVE ON IT. ITS SOME PINK PLASTIC THING THAT BREAKS, THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 - TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER" APPARENTLY ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN "VIN"S. CHATTED ONLINE WITH "CUSTOMER CARE" AGENT AT CHRYSLER WHICH WAS BRIEF, SHE STATED MY VIN ISN'T COVERED I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS, AS SHE WAS RUDE, SO I DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER AS TO WHY ONLY SOME VINS ARE BEING FIXED WHEN THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE PROBLEM. A SIMPLE SEARCH ON-LINE BRINGS UP OVER 150K RESULTS, AND I SEE HERE THERE ARE COMPLAINTS TOO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AN ACTUAL METAL SOLID REPLACEMENT PIECE COSTS $15, I'LL HAVE TO GET THE DEALER OR A MECHANIC TO INSTALL IT (THE DEALERS REPLACE WITH SAME PLASTIC PIECE OR REPLACE WHOLE SHIFTER)... SEEMS THIS IS ANOTHER "GM IGNITION SWITCH" WAITING TO HAPPEN. HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE WON'T CAUSE ANY DEATHS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY ONLY SOME VINS ARE BEING FIXED. *TR

I HAVE A HEMI ENGINE. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR IT STARTED STALLING ON ME WHEN MY GAS TANK WAS ON EMPTY AND I FILED IT UP. ON THE FREEWAY A FEW TIMES AND IT STALLS!! I TOOK TO DIFFERENT SHOPS AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT. NOW MY PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. IT STALLS ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER GAS. IT SPIT AND JERKS. COMPLETELY DANGEROUS. I AM A ACCIDENT INJURY ADJUSTER THAT DOES CLAIMS EVERYDAY ALL DAY, AND IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS , I WILL SUE BOTH CHRYSLER AND NHTSA. SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND AS I AM GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED AND WANT THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
