2005 Chrysler 300c complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL AND STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING INDICATING THAT FUEL WAS PRESENT IN THE FUEL TANK AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

2 DIFFERENT TIMES THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OUT OF PARK AND STRANDS ME. I HAVE SEEN MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS.ALSO AND CRYSLER RECALLED CHARGERS AND DODGES BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED THE CHRYSTER 300'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A CHEAP PART THAT BREAKS AND CAUSES THE GEAR LOCK UP AND THE WHOLE STEERING ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED PER CHRYSLER AT A HIGH PRICE. SHOULD BE RECALL AS WITH CHARGERS AND DODGE PRODUCTS.

EARLY BUILD 2005 300C WITH LOW MILES PURCHASED USED 3/11. DRIVEN PRIMARILY AS A HIGHWAY CAR RECENTLY WE STARTED USE MORE IN TOWN. I HAD READ ALL THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS HAD WITH WINDOWS (NOT WORKING) AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND HAD BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES BUT NOT THE ENGINE STALL ISSUE UNTIL OCTOBER. I READ ABOUT NOT FILLING ONE OUNCE BEYOND WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF BUT MY OBSERVATION IS EVEN THAT NOW IS TOO MUCH. WHENEVER THE CAR IS FILLED UP, IT WILL STALL/SHUT DOWN 3-6 TIMES IN THE NEXT 2-3 MILES OF CITY DRIVING. NO STUTTER, JUST SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. I'VE TRIED SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND RACING THE ENGINE WHEN PULLING UP TO STOP SIGNS TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING, WITH LIMITED SUCCESS. NOT THAT I AM RECOMMENDING THAT BUT BETTER THAN DYING WHEN YOU EXPECT IT TO ACCELERATE. A SOMEWHAT SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WHEN GETTING ONTO THE ON-RAMP BUT MORE OF A STUTTER SITUATION THAN ACTUALLY STALLING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ IT IS TOO MUCH GAS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE VIA EMISSIONS HOSE FROM TANK SO COMPUTER DOES NOT COMPENSATE WITH MORE AIR (ENGINE RACING WOULD BE THE RESULT) SO IT FLOODS OUT AS IN CHOKING OUT A LAWN MOWER FROM DECADES AGO TO GET IT TO STOP RUNNING. I'VE OWNED 50 CARS AND THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED BECAUSE OF THIS REASON. EVEN KNOWING IT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN DOES NOT HELP SO I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THE CAR.... IF THEY WERE TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN IN TRAFFIC AFTER FILLING THE TANK IT WOULD BE A FIREBALL WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT'S A VERY NICE CAR TO DRIVE ONCE Y

I FIRST HAD PROBLEMS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN I COULD NOT GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK. THIS HAPPENED PERIODICALLY. I WAS ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT INTO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THE TWO PROBLEMS WERE UNRELATED. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST SAID MY SHIFTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AT THE TIME, SO I TOLD THEM TO REPLACE IT. LATER, I HAPPENED ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER ISSUED BY CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER COULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH THE DATE OF ISSUE OF THIS NOTIFICATION. THE NOTIFICATION STATES IT APPLIES TO "SOME 2005 THROUGH 2007 MODEL YEAR DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR SHIFTER." IT REFERS TO AN "INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE ''PARK'' POSITION." IT FURTHER STATES "IF YOU HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS CONDITION AND HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, PLEASE SEND YOUR ORIGINAL RECEIPTS...ONCE WE RECEIVE AND VERIFY THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE SENT TO YOU WITHIN 60 DAYS." I SENT IN THE REQUESTED MATERIALS. I WAS INFORMED CHRYSLER WOULD NOT REIMBURSEMENT ME BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I FIND THIS HARD TO ACCEPT. THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVERS, BUT FOR SOME REASON CHRYSLER IS ONLY RECALLING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS, NOT ALL OF THEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO COMPLETELY UNLOCK AND OPEN EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD DO THE SAME. I HAVE EVEN HAD THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR BEHAVE THIS WAY. I AM WRITING NOW, BECAUSE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ALMOST NEVER UNLOCKS AND OPENS ANYMORE. WITH BOTH BACK DOORS NOT UNLOCKING AND OPENING, IT CONCERNS ME GREATLY THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD I NEED TO IMMEDIATELY GAIN ACCESS FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE REAR PASSENGERS NEED TO GET OUT FROM THE INSIDE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE DOORS TO OPEN IS TO PULL UP EXTREMELY HARD ON THE DOOR LOCK POSTS. *TR

THE GAS PEDAL ACCELERATES AND STICKS SO YOU LOSE CONTROL OFF THE SPEED. IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR CHILDREN OR FOR ANYBODY TO BE IN THE CAR. *TR

I ALSO GOT CHARGED ANOTHER $15.00 FOR TWO VISOR CLIPS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THEY HAVE FAILED. *KB

I AM AN AUTO TECH AT DEALERSHIP IN KS. AFTER 3 REPEATED INCIDENTS, I DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION. ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FRONT BUMPER THE FOG LIGHTS GET HOT AND EVENTUALLY DETACH FROM THE LENS. THE 2ND AND 3RD TIME I HAVE NOTICED SCORCHING ON THE VEHICLE'S FRONT BUMPER WHERE THE BULBS STARTED TO MELT THE MATERIAL. THE 4TH VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE TO THE BUMPER AND IT SPREAD TO THE ENGINE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE WITHOUT ANYBODY ATTENDING THE VEHICLE AND MORE IN A HOUSE GARAGE. IT DID NOT TAKE VERY LONG TO MELT AND IGNITE. *TR

CHYRSLER 300C 2005 MODEL, THEN CAR WAS IN PARK AND WOULD NOT COME OUT OF GEAR. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME AND SHOWED US HOW TO MANUALLY GET THE CAR OUT OF GEAR WITH THE GEAR BOX OFF, WHICH IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THE CAR IXS NOW EXPOSED TO POTENTIAL THIEVES AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL LOCK IF NOT SERVICED. *TR

I I HAVE TWO CHRYSLERS AND BOTH OF THEM HAD THE SHIFTERS FREEZE ON THEM THEY RECALLED THE COVERTABLE BUT NOT THE 300C MY FRIEND CALLED ME YESTERDAY HE HAS THE MAGNUM AND HIS SHIFTER FROZE FROM WHAT I IS THAT ALMOST ALL THE SHIFTERS ARE FREEZING AND CHRYSLER IS NOT RECALLING THEN BUT CHARGING THE CUSTORMERS TO REPLACE THEM BESIDES THE TOWING FEE BECAUSE YOU CANT MOVE THE CARS ONCE THE SHIFTER FREEZES. *TT

AFTER REFUELING NORMALLY, VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING FOR APPROXIMATELY THE NEXT 10-20 MILES DRIVEN. CHRYSLER INTERNET FORUM MEMBERS CITE A BAD VALVE IN THE FUEL EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND THE CORRECTIVE MEASURE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK FOR A COST OF $700. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING, IT CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

CHRYSLER 300C 2005 WILL COMPLETELY DIE UPON FILLING TANK WITH FUEL. WILL RESTART AND DIE 1 OR 2 MORE TIMES THEN RUN FINE. MY CONCERN IS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. SOLUTION CHANGE GAS TANK WHICH CHRYLSER REFUSES TO DO WITHOUT CUSTOMER PAYING FOR IT. I FEEL A RECALL IS NEEDED BEFORE SOMEONE IT INJURED OR POSSIBLY KILLED. FILED A COMPLAINT, HAVE A CASE NUMBER NOTHING RESOLVED. I FEEL A SOLUTION IS NECESSARY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FROM TIME OF PURCHASE. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C NEW IN MARCH OF 2005, SINCE THAT TIME WE NOTICED THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT, AND OVER SAY SEVERAL MONTHS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, I REPLACED TO DRIVER SIDE OUTER TIE ROD END AROUND AUGUST OF 2007, THEN EARLY 2009 THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, IT'S APRIL 2011 AND I'M ABOUT TO REPLACE THE TIE ROD END FOR A SECOND TIME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. *TR

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELD, IT STALLS. ALSO, IT HESTITATES WHILE DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT ALSO WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. IT TOOK NUMEROUS SHIFTS FROM PARK TO DRIVE TO GET IT TO ENGAGE.

WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLS AFTER 1-2 MINUTES. RESTART AND STALLS AGAIN. GOES ON FOR FIRST 10 MILES AFTER REFILL. THIS HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL UP. ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IS TO FILL TANK AT 80% OR LESS. CHECKED THE INTERNET (CHRYSLER 300C STALLING) AND I FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAD TO SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER 300C W/ 5.7L WHILE DRIVING @ APPROX 35MPH, VEHICLE WOULD DROP OUT OF GEAR AS IF IN NEUTRAL, CHECK ENG LIGHT CAME ON, SETTING P700 & P701 PLUS EGR PROB. IF CAR WAS STEERED TO SAFE AREA AND TURNED OFF THEN RE-STARTED, PROB WOULD MOMENTARILY RESOLVE ITSELF BECOMING INTERMITTENT @ VARIOUS SPEEDS OR ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS. R&R OF EGR ASSEMBLY AND CLEANING, THEN CLEARING OF CODES SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE PROB. PROBLEM STARTED ON OCT 16, 2010, REPAIR PERFORMED ON OCTOBER 19, 2010 AND HAS NOT RETURNED. THIS COULD BECOME AN ISSUE W/ OTHER VEHICLES OF SAME MAKE & MODEL, DUE TO P701 IS STATING PROBLEM W/ TRANSMISSION MODULE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FUELING FOR APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES AND SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT IS NEVER KNOWN WHEN OR WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL LEAVE YOU DISABLED. MY CAR HAS STALLED MANY, MANY TIMES, ON THE ROAD, AT INTERSECTIONS, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, AT STOP LIGHTS, ON RAILROAD TRACKS, ON FREEWAY ON RAMPS AND OFF RAMPS, PARKING LOTS, AND ANYWHERE ELSE IT SO CHOOSES. I TALKED TO MECHANICS AND I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FLAT TOP FUEL TANK DESIGN, REQUIRING THE FUEL TANK TO BE REPLACED, BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER 300C OWNERS. PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
