2006 Chrysler 300c complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON STARTING, THE CONTACT HEARD A POP AS ALL OF THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS FAILED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE BATTERY HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AFTER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 92,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AFTER REFUELING, CAR STALLS. THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION. THE STALL HAS TAKEN PLACE AT INTERSECTIONS, WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND WHILE DRIVING NO MORE THAN 5 -10MPH AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION.. CAR RESTARTS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IN NEUTRAL. WHEN EACH INCIDENT OCCURS, THE OIL ICON COMES ON, HOWEVER THE OIL LEVEL IS NOT LOW. ON ONE OCCASION AFTER HAVING BACKED INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH THE CAR GEAR SHIFT STILL IN REVERSE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR LURCHED. THE TIRES COULD BE HEARD SPINNING. THAT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE MY CAR COULD HAVE ROLLED INTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. ONCE THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATES APPROXIMATELY A HALF A TANK, NO STALLING INCIDENTS TAKE PLACE. CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS CONCERNED. SERVICE ADVISOR WAS AWARE OF CHYRSLER 300C STALLS AFTER REFUELING. FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM WAS SERVICED/CLEANED. THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. CAR STILL STALLING. REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR, HOWEVER I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW OF THE STILL ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHILE EITHER IDLING OR DRIVING. STALLS ARE INCREASINGLY MORE FREQUENT. UNABLE TO GET A DIAGNOSIS OF PROBLEM. HAVE REPLACED THE PCM BUT NO CHANGE IN PROBLEM OCCURRENCE. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MOST RECENTLY 12/21/2/13 AFTER FUELING UP MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C TO A FULL TANK (NOT OVERFILLING) MY CAR RUNS ROUGH AND STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR WITHIN ONE MILE OF LEAVING THE GAS STATION. MY CAR WILL NOT RESTART FOR AT LEAST 30-45 SECONDS OF CRANKING THE ENGINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BY PULLING OUT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR STALLS. DEALERSHIP IS RECOMMENDING A NEW GAS TANK AND VAPOR CANISTER WHICH IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR ($1,500 -$2,000) AND THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL BE RESOLVED AND THERE ARE NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE PURCHASE IN DECEMBER 2005. SOMETIMES POWER WINDOWS WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN, LIGHTS ON TEMP GAUGES AND DASH HAVE BURNED OUT AND HEATED SEATS OCCASIONALLY GET SUPER HOT. HEADLIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE SWITCH AND ALL THE TROUBLE LIGHTS HAVE COME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HAVE TAKEN TO MANY DIFFERENT DEALERS AND NONE HAVE FOUND ANY PROBLEMS THEY SAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 HEMI. HAVE OWNED CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND NEVER OVERFILLED GAS TANK AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I GOT A FULL TANK OF GAS, THEN STARTED CAR AND PULLED AWAY, A BLOCK LATER THE CAR DIED. THIS HAPPENED 7 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 2 MILES TO GET CAR HOME. CAR STALLED, RPM'S DOWN, STARTING JERKING. I KEPT IT IN NEUTRAL TO KEEP IT FROM DYING. WENT HOME AND GOOGLED PROBLEM - SEEMS TO BE EITHER 3 THINGS - FUEL VAPOR CANISTER (LOCATED ABOVE RIGHT REAR TIRE), FUEL VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE (LOCATED IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT), OR ROLLOVER/CHECK VALVE (LOCATED IN FUEL TANK). TOOK CAR TO FIRESTONE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID THAT VAPOR CANISTER AND PURGE VALVE ARE WORKING AND IT WAS BE THE COMPONENT IN THE TANK. SAID IT WILL COST $1,500 FOR NEW TANK. I SAID NO WAY, I'LL WAIT TILL THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS, WHICH THERE [XXX] WELL BETTER BE. IF THIS CAR STALLED ON EXPRESSWAY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SCREWED. THERE IS A FAST FIX INSTEAD OF REPLACING ANYTHING - EITHER FUEL TANK ONLY 3/4 FULL, OR LEAVE GAS CAP OFF AFTER FUELING, SO THAT NO PRESSURE IS IN TANK AND VAPOR IS BURNED OFF THROUGH FILLER NECK, INSTEAD OF THROUGH ENGINE. I FEEL LIKE CALLING CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TOMORROW AND SEEING WHAT THEY SAY. THIS CAN'T BE TOLERATED. THE VAPOR CANISTER IS AN EMISSIONS THING THAT TAKES FUEL VAPOR AND BURNS IT THOUGH ENGINE, BUT IF IT MALFUNCTIONS, IT WILL SUCK UP FUEL AND FLOOD ENGINE. SO HOPEFULLY THE MORE PEOPLE THAT COMMENT ON HERE, THE MORE CHANCE THERE WILL BE A RECALL SO THAT I

DROVE APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES TO WORK, WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPOT CAR STALLED AND OIL LIGHT ON LEFT CAME ON! CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. TRIED TO START IT AGAIN LATER AND IT DID, AND NO ISSUE SINCE. *TR

I WAS TURNING RIGHT AT A STOP LIGHT, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A GAS TANK FILL, WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO STALL DURING DECELERATION OR WHEN STOPPED FOR THE NEXT 30 MILES. *TR

STALLS AFTER I FILL UP AND JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN MOVING SLOWLY 0 TO 20 MPH AND HESITATES WHEN DRIVING 30 AND OVER IF I DON'T DRIVE AROUND DRIVE AROUND IN A PARKING LOT FOR APX 10 MIN IT WILL STOP IN TRAFFIC AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION. *TR

DRIVING DOWN ROAD CAR ENGINE WILL CUT OUT MAY RESTART SOME TIMES , OR STALL AND HAVE TO RESTART MANUALLY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TOOK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP PUT ON COMPUTER SAID THAT IT JUST SENT BASIC CODE HAVE HAD CAR FOR OVER 3 MONTH RETURNED CAR SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG NEXT DAY DRIVING CAR DID SAME THING 4 TIMES MORE ON ME ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN SAID SAME CODE NOW HAVE HAD CAR FOR ANOTHER MONTH SAYING THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 300C STALLED OUT ON THE FREEWAY WHILE ACCELERATING DURING A TRAFFIC JAM. IT TOOK A COUPLE TRIES TO RESTART THE ENGINE. *TR

ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, MAKING TURNS AND WHILE AT STOP SIGNS, INTERSECTIONS. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO, VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AFTER REFUELING. EVERY REFUEL SINCE WITHOUT FAIL THE VEHICLE STALLS. STALLING OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WILL STALL 2-3 TIMES IN A 5 MINUTES PERIOD. THE VEHICLE PERFORMS CORRECTLY ONCE YOU GET PAST THIS STAGE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH (INTERNET) THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER 2006 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS (INCL TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VAN) EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. IT APPEARS THE SEPARATOR VALVE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IS THE CULPRIT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AFTER FILLED UP WITH GAS. *TR

STARTED STALLING AFTER FILL UP'S APX 1 YEAR AGO. I DO NOT DRIVE IT ALOT. APX 55000 MILES ON IT. FIRST THOUGHT WAS DUE TO CHANGING OCTANE BUT BEEN USING FOR 4 MONTHS . STALLS, BUCKS, SURGES. CLEARED UP AFTER APX 5 TO 10 MIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING TO CAPACITY AND DRIVING 10 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,496 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

AFTER FUELING CAR, IT STALLS OUT. AFTER RESTART WILL RUN AND MAY OR MAY NOT STALL AGAIN. NOT A VERY GOOD THING TO HAPPEN. COULD BECOME THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO RECALLS ON CAR. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C WOULD JUST DIE AFTER FILING UP WITH GAS - HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY A FEW TIMES- VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL WE SAW LA TIMES ARTICLE 5/14/13 - THEY ARE FIXING BUT CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING WITH $$ (REPLACING GAS TANK) CAR HAS ONLY 42K MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING TO CAPACITY AND DRIVING 5 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE CHECK VALVE WAS FRACTURED AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 161,000.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,010.

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL (NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK) THE CAR STALLED UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE RISK IS INCREDIBLE! THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AS TRAFFIC WAS ALL AROUND ME HONKING AND I WAS NEARLY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND!! ONCE WAS A FLUKE I THOUGHT AND MAYBE BAD GAS. I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY NAVIGATE ON BACK STREETS TO THE HOUSE AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. AGAIN I HAD THE STALLING PROBLEM, LUCKY FOR ME I HAD PICKED A LIGHT TRAFFIC TIME TO FILL UP. I SWITCHED GAS STATIONS AFTER THAT AN NOW ONLY GET GAS AT SHELL STATIONS HEARING THAT THEY HAD THE BEST GAS QUALITY OVERALL. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK FULL. THE STALLING PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING NOW TWO NEEDLE WIDTHS BELOW THE FULL MARK WHICH MEANS SOMETHING IS GETTING WORSE. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK DUE TO A FAULTY VALUE AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. THE COST IS $1,315. THE RISK OF GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AT ANY SPEED IS INCREDIBLE AND VERY REAL!! I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THE FAULTY TANKS. *TR

IN AUGUST OF 2012 MY VEHICLE HAD AROUND 76,000 MILES AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCE MY VEHICLE STALLING OUT AND TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 30MPHS, I PULLED OVER AND TRIED RESTARTING MY VEHICLE AND NOTICE THERE WAS LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE WAS BEHAVING ABNORMAL. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND THAT'S WHEN I HARD A LOUD METALLIC ENGINE NOISE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO PUENTE HILLS CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD NO COMPRESSION IN A FEW CYLINDERS, DUE TO THEIR BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP THAT TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLE'S WITH THE 5.7L ENGINES. AFTER DIAGNOSING AND TAKING THE VALVE COVERS OFF THEY FOUND THE VALVE SEATS HAD DROPPED AND BENT THE VALVES. TOTAL COST WAS $3,500. NOW, NOVEMBER 28, 2013 WITH 100,995 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, VEHICLE STALLED AT AROUND 10MPHS AND ONCE AGAIN WHEN TRYING TO RESTART HEARD THE METALLIC NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. THIS TIME THEY ARE CHARGING ME $4,000 TO HAVE IT FIX. *TR

AFTER FILL UP AT GAS STATION ( NOT TOPPING OFF), WHEN LEAVING AND COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND HAVE TO CRANK TWO OR THREE TIMES TO START AGAIN. IT WILL DO THIS SEVERAL MORE TIMES AFTER COMING TO A STOP, ONCE ON THE ROAD OR FREEWAY IT WILL RUN LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. ONCE FUEL LEVEL DROPS ENOUGH IT WILL NO LONGER STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. HAVE READ IN FORUMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS MORE THAN LIKELY A VALVE THAT IS BUILT IN INTO THE TANK, MAKING THIS AN EXPENSIVE FIX. *TR

CAR STALLED AFTER FILL UP...STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY STALLS SHUTTING DOWN POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND OIL PRESSURE IS READING 0. TURN IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND CAR RESTARTS PERFECTLY WITH NL OIL PRESSURES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS. WOULD PROBABLY BE FATAL IF ON INTERSTATE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. THERE WAS ALSO NO ERROR CODES STORED IN THE CARS COMPUTER. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C WAS A CAR THAT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT HAD LESS THAN 90,000 MILES AT THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS IN A DRIVE-THRU AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR TO SAVE FUEL. WHEN I WENT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE CAR MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE THAT SOUND SIMILAR TO STICKING A BASEBALL CARD IN BICYCLE SPOKES BUT MUCH LOUDER AND STRONGER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO CHUCK CLANCY CHRYSLER AND I WAS INFORMED THAT A VALVE SEAT HAD DROPPED AND DESTROYED SEVERAL CYLINDERS. THE BILL WAS $3,000. THIS CAR WAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED BY MAINTENANCE RECORDS AND THE OIL CHANGED WITH PENNZOIL PLATINUM ULTRA. TO ADD TO THIS STORY, I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS OUT ANOTHER $4000 FOR THIS REPAIR. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER IT AND GAVE ME THE COLD SHOULDER. I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR

FILLED UP TANK FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE PURCHASING MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. (CAME FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH A FULL TANK) NO MORE THAN 2 MINUTES OF DRIVING LATER THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND LURCH AS IF IT WERE GOING TO DIE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND KEEP IT RUNNING BUT IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. CONTINUED ON AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT IT DIED SHORTLY AFTER. RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING BY GIVING IT A LITTLE THROTTLE. I BEGAN COMBING THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THIS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE AFTER FILLING UP. I LIMPED THE CAR HOME AND SIPHONED A FEW GALLONS OUT. IT SEEMS TO BE RUNNING OK SINCE THEN. *TR

5 MINUTES AFTER FILLING UP MY 06 CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8 6.1L AT A GAS STATION I WAS CROSSING OVER TRAFFIC TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND MY CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO RESTART THEN LURCHED FORWARD AFTER PUT INTO GEAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME RIGHT AFTER FILLING MY TANK THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE TIME BEFORE IT STALLED MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE ON RAMP. *TR

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO. MY CAR STALLS FOR NO REASON IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, STOPPED AT A LIGHT, ENTERING OR EXITING THE FREEWAY, WHILE I AM DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS AND WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IF I AM DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS OR FREEWAY THE CAR DOES NOT STALL BUT MOMENTARILY DIES (FOR A HALF SECOND). MY ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND ALL THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD GO TO 0. THE CAR WILL THEN COME BACK TO LIFE AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE NORMALLY BUT CAN "DIE" AGAIN A FEW MOMENTS LATER OR NOT AT ALL FOR DAYS OR MONTHS. IT FEELS LIKE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY HAS THERE IS NO COMMON CHARACTERISTIC BETWEEN EACH INCIDENT AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY COMMON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAT CAUSES IT. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN BUT HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT IS A CONCERN. SOME DAYS IT WILL HAPPEN REPEATEDLY THEN NOT HAPPEN FOR MONTHS. LATELY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY FOUND NO CODES AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THERE WAS AN ISSUE AS THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THE SECOND TIME I HAD A ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY FOUND A CODE FOR TCM SENSOR BUT STATED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID I HAD TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT CAUSED A SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION, THEY REMOVED THE EXCESS FLUID BUT THE ISSUE HAS STILL PERSISTED. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT DID NOT TRIGGER ANY CODES. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ENGINE CUTS OUT EVERY TIME I COMPLETELY FILL MY GAS TANK. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST DETECTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. SINCE, I HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL WHEN RE-FUELING. SOMETIMES I STILL ENCOUNTER ENGINE SPUTTERING AND EVENTUAL LOSS OF POWER AND STEERING CONTROL. I TRY TO MITIGATE AND CONTROL THE SAFETY RISK AS BEST AS I CAN. I HAVE TO QUICKLY THROW THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND CRANK THE ENGINE TO RESTART SO I CAN AVOID BEING A SAFETY THREAT TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. ALSO THANKS TO CHRYSLER, MY WIFE REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE CAR WITH ME AS IT POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AT ANY SPEED ON ANY ROAD. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE IN A CAR BEFORE. THIS IS MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR I BOUGHT JAN 6, 2006 AT THE AGE OF 23. I REGRET MY DECISION EVER SINCE. I HAVE LOST A TON OF FAITH IN CHRSYLER PRODUCTS AND THE BRAND IT REPRESENTS. THE ONE THING CHRYSLER SHOULD DO, IS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND OFFER THE FIX AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, MY CAR DIES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I GET HOME, WHICH IS ABOUT 5 MILES FROM THE GAS STATION. SOMETIMES IT WILL SPEED UP WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR JUST BEFORE IT DIES. IT DIES BEFORE I GET OUT OF THE GAS STATION, SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES IT DIES AS I PULL TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT 1,000 FEET FROM THE GAS STATION. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 2 DAYS AGO. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWICE FOR THIS, BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE FILL UP BEFORE THIS LAST ONE, I ONLY FILLED THE TANK HALF FULL, AND IT DIDN'T DIE, SO IT MUST BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH FILLING IT ALL THE WAY UP. I DON'T TOP THE TANK OFF, EITHER. *TR

I HAD JUST MADE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO AN ACCESS ROAD GOING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH. I NOTICED MY CAR WAS BUCKING AND SEEMED TO SPUTTER. FIRST THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS. ONCE THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, I HAD LOST ALL POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN BUT I MANAGED TO TURN OFF ONTO A SIDE STREET AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY I HAD NOT YET MADE IT ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY, WHICH BY THE WAY WAS DURING 5 O'CLOCK RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC! I SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT STARTED UP AND WAS DRIVABLE. IT STILL SPUTTERED SOME ON THE WAY HOME. I AM HOPEFUL I CAN MAKE IT BACK INTO TOWN AND TAKE IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. MY CAR IS A ONE OWNER CAR THAT MY LATE HUSBAND BOUGHT FOR ME. I LOVE THIS CAR. ALTHOUGH IT IS BEGINNING TO HAVE ISSUES AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE MONEY I CAN KEEP PUTTING INTO REPAIRS. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE LATEST ONE WAS REPLACED IN APRIL, 2013. I HAVE HAD THE MODULE FRONT CONTROL & IGNITION SWITCH BOTH REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP @ 83,918 MILES 5/31/2013. I HAVE IT SCHEDULED FOR A TUNE UP AND FUEL INJECTOR TUNE UP IRONICALLY TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE THE STALLING ISSUE HAPPENED. I HAVE FELT THE CAR SPUTTER AND BUCK BEFORE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE FOR A TUNE UP. HOWEVER, NOW I BELIEVE THIS IS ALL TOGETHER A SEPARATE ISSUE. HOPEFULLY CHRYSLER WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED AT NO EXPENSE TO THE OWNE

I BOUGHT MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C BRAND NEW & I'VE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. IT WAS PURCHASED STRAIGHT FROM DAIMLER/CHRYSLER, ORDERED & BUILT TO MY SELECTED SPECIFICATIONS THROUGH CHRYSLER. I SET THE ORDER IN FEBRUARY 2005, IT WAS BUILT & FINISHED 11 NOV 2005. THIS WAS DONE WHILE I WAS FINALIZING MY CAREER IN ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY SERVICE & RETIRED. I RETURNED TO THE U.S. 7 JAN 2006 & THAT'S WHEN I SAW & PICKED MY THEN BRAND NEW 300C. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT CAR EVER SINCE. I TRULY LOVE THIS CAR & TO THIS DAY STILL LOVE THIS CAR. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY ONE OTHERTHAN PUTTING GAS IN IT, VERY DEPENDABLE CAR. IN 2007 JUNE I WAS DIAGNOSED CANCER OF THE BONE & BLOOD (MULTIPLE MYELOMA, STAGE 4). AFTER BEING HOSPITALIZED FOR APPRX. 18 MTHS, ONE DAY WHILE COMING FROM CHEMO IT STARTED TO OVER HEAT & BLOWING STEAM, HAD IT TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER & HAD TO HAVE THE FANS & THE SENSORS REPLACED, 1ST MAJOR PROBLEM, THEN AFTER THAT IT WAS THE SHIFT LEVER STUCK IN PARK, THEN THE "A" FRAME & CONTROL ARMS, NOW IN NOV 2012, AFTER ATTENDING MY GRANDMOTHER'S FUNERAL, I FILLED IT UP @ A GAS STATION & IT SHUT OFF, WOULD START BACK UP BUT CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN ONCE I GOT IT STARTED IT WOULD SPUTTER, KICK, & STALL, THIS WAS REPEATED FOR SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE HWY & WAS FINE TIL I HAD TO FILL IT UP AGAIN FROM THEN ON IT CONTINUED TO DO SO EVERY FILL UP. I DID RECEIVE AN INDICATION OF THE GAS CAP (REPLACED) THEN JUNE 2013 I FILLED IT UP AS USU

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS I WENT ABOUT 2-3 MILES ON US1 IN WAKE FOREST, AFTER STOPPING AT THE LIGHT AT US1A I PROCEEDED TO TURN ONTO US1A AND MY CAR STALLED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO MANAGE TO TURN ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR TO CONTINUE TO PROCEED. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT ANOTHER 1 TO 2 MILES IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS I LOSE POWER STEERING WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. *TR

ENGINE STALLED FOR FIRST TIME LESS THAN 2 MILES AFTER FILL UP AT 25 MPH ON CITY STREET. IMMEDIATELY LOSS POWER ASSIST OF BOTH STEERING AND BRAKES. CAR WEIGHTS 4040 LBS AND I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AND GETTING THE CAR STOPPED. CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. NO FUTURE PROBLEMS UNTIL NEARLY EVERY REFILL WHEN IT STALLS WITHIN FIRST FEW SECONDS OR 2 MILES. CAR NOW HAS 79550 MILES. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS MOST FREQUENTLY BUT I ALWAYS FILL THE GAS TANK. I TOLD HER WHEN IT STALLS, STEER STRAIGHT, PUT CAR IN NEURAL, RESTART, AND HOPE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STOP QUICKLY. IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 CHRYSLER'S [XXX] LETTER AUG 9, 2013 LAST PAGE 17 STATES "IF A STALL AFTER REFUEL CONDITIONS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE HAS FUNCTIONING STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEMS". TRUE BUT WITH OUT POWER ASSIST ON STEERING AND BRAKES CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. MOST WOMEN AND SMALL MEN WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY SAFELY STOPPING CAR. CHRYSLER CONCLUDES THIS ISSUE POSES AND MINOR RISK TO VEHICLE SAFETY. I AM A RETIRED MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND WORKED 40 YEARS WITH POWER TRAINS AND STRONGLY DISAGREE. IN THIS REVIEW VEHICLES 5, 6, AND 7 ALL HAD PROBLEMS WITH SWOLLEN REFUELING FLOATS ALLOWING THE FLOATS TO STICK AND NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. ALL THREE CARS WERE 2006 300C WITH 5.7 LITER HEMI ENGINES THE SAME AS MINE.. ON A11.PAGE 15, CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THE VENT VALVES WAS CHANGED FOR MY 2007. THIS APPEARS TO ACKNOWLEDGE A POOR OR FAULTY DESIGN IN MY 2006. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM O

THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT AFTER BEING STARTED. NOW IT IS ALMOST SHUTTING OFF OR BECOMING UNRESPONSIVE MID ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN. THE CAR WILL AT RANDOM STALL. THE ENGINE DOES NOT NEED TO BE RESTARTED SO FAR WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL "DIE" FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN COMES BACK AGAIN JUST SHORT OF COMPLETE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. REAR WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE IS ALSO NON RESPONSIVE. IT HAS ONLY WORKED ONCE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. *TR

MY VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT ON ME INTERMITTENTLY. IT MOSTLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER I GET FINISHED PUTTING GAS IN MY CAR. UNLIKE MOST OTHER STORIES I'VE READ ABOUT OVERFILLING THE GAS TANK, THIS HAPPENS TO ME SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT JUST A HALF OF A TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR. NOW, AS OF NOV. 7, 2013, IT'S DONE IT WELL OVER 100 TIMES; THAT'S SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN MAY. THE DEALERSHIP IS A COMPLETE SCAM. THEY KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT. THEY'VE CHARGED ME TO FIX EVERYTHING FROM EGR VALVES TO PCMS TO SPARK PLUGS. NOTHING HAS WORKED.THEN FINALLY I DECIDE TO DO SOME DEEP RESEARCH, THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO FILE MY COMPLAINT. THERE ARE 2 MAJOR ISSUES I HAVE. WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I'LL LOSE ALL POWER AND THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR A SPLIT SECOND, THEN IT'LL KICK BACK IN. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, TO SAY THE LEAST. THE MORE FREQUENT PROBLEM, IS THE CAR COMPLETELY CUTTING OFF WHILE EITHER AT IDLE, OR TRAVELING AT A LOWER SPEED. BOTH SITUATIONS HAPPEN ALMOST ALWAYS DIRECTLY AFTER I PUT GAS IN MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS SO MUCH THAT IT IS BECOMING UNBEARABLE. SOMETIME IT STARTS BACK UP, AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO. IT'S RIDICULOUS. I DON'T MIND PAYING TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. HOWEVER, DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, KNOW THAT'S THE PROBLEM, AND LET'S GET IT FIXED. DON'T RUN ME THROUGH $3,000 WORTH OF REPAIRS, KNOWING THAT YOU'VE GOT COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME MODEL AND MODEL YEAR, COMING IN AROUND THE SAME TIME, COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. THAT'S NO COINCIDENCE.

VEHICLE HAS HAD 3 INCIDENTS OF ENGINE STALLING. 1ST WAS EARLY MORNING AFTER BEING DRIVEN ONLY .7 MILES. NEXT WAS 11/5/2013 AFTER FILLING UP ON WAY HOME. CAR DIED AT STOP SIGN. NEXT WAS 11/6/2013 AFTER BEING DRIVEN LESS THEN A MILE. CAR RESTARTED AFTER EACH INCIDENT. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN MY CAR STALLED . I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE. BUT THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER . AFTER THAT I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND HALF , NO PROBLEM ! I READ A LOT OF THE COMPLAINTS AND SEVERAL PEOPLE INDICATED THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY REFILL. WELL I KIND OF AGREE WITH THAT. NOW ITS 11/01/13 AND TODAY I TURNED RIGHT INTO A PARKING LOT AND IT STALLED THAT WAS ON FRIDAY. SINCE THEN IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES BUT RESTARTS ! I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER TO DEALER ON MONDAY. $700.00 AT END OF DAY , WAS TOLD THE PC NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. AND NEEDED A TUNEUP.. TUE IT STALLED AGAIN. PROBLEM NOT SOLVED. WELL TODAY 11/05/13 ITS AT DEALER AGAIN. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I LOVE THIS CAR AND I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT, ITS LIKE NEW.HELP????? *TR

MY HUSBAND FILLED UP THE TANK ON 110413 (ALREADY HAD 1/4 TANK). I DROVE TO AND FROM WORK, BUT ONCE I BACKED INTO THE YARD THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN. AS I REVVED THE ENGINE THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WOULD CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER THE INITIAL START UP, BUT AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR CUT OFF. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, BUT NO ONE MENTIONED THE ISSUES THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE (2006 300C WITH HEMI). VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC MENTIONED IT MIGHT BE THE ENGINE... OH REALLY!!!!! *TR

AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK, AT 1/2 A TANK, I PULLED AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND THE CAR STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING I CONTINUED ON MY WAY. EVERY TIME I SLOWED DOWN FOR TRAFFIC, OR A STOP SIGN, OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED. THIS HAPPENED 6-8 TIMES ON MY WAY HOME WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. AFTER STARTING, THE ENGINE "SPITTED, AND SPURTED" ON ACCELERATION. IT THEN SMOOTHED OUT, AND RAN FINE, UNTIL THIS LATEST INCIDENT. ALSO, THE LAST TIME THE CAR WAS FUELED, IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT GAS, THE HOSE KEPT SHUTTING OFF. TRIED ANOTHER PUMP, SAME RESULT, WENT TO ANOTHER GAS STATION, SAME RESULT. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN MAY OF 2006. AT APPROXIMATE 25,000 MILES IT BEGAN TO SHUT OFF AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY AT THE GAS STATION. I'VE ALWAYS PUT THE CORRECT FUEL IN MY CAR AS RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUAL AND THE DEALERSHIPS I'VE TAKEN HER TO FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. AT INTERMITTENT INTERVALS THROUGHOUT THE OWNERSHIP OF MY CAR, IT HAS SHUT OFF, STRANDED ME ON DARK ROADS AND HAVE ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON HIGHWAYS, BUSY STREETS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN DEALERSHIP MAINTAINED & I'VE ADAMANTLY FOLLOWED THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD SPARK PLUGS, FUEL PUMP, WATER PUMP, THERMOMETER CHANGED ALL NEEDLESSLY. I'VE SPENT CLOSE TO $4000 IN REPAIRS AND NEEDLESS PARTS.THE DEALERSHIP HAS RAN VARIOUS DIAGNOSTICS AND HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING WRONG. THE CAR NOW HAS CLOSE TO 76,000 MILES ON IT AND WILL SHUT OFF IF THE GAS TANK GOES TO THE QUARTER OF TANK MARK OR WHEN IT'S FULL. I NEVER TOP IT OFF BECAUSE I'VE BEEN WARNED NOT TO TOP OFF MY GAS INTAKE. I'VE SOUGHT SECOND OPINIONS ON WHY THIS MIGHT BE HAPPENING AND THE DEALERSHIPS IN NY, NJ AND FL HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT THEY RECEIVE FOR ALL OF THE CHRYSLER 300 SERIES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT COULD POSSIBLY COST LIVES PLUS COST AN EXPENSIVE LOSS FOR THIS CAR. I'VE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS PLUS RESEARCHED OTHER FORUMS, AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT WHEN THE CAR IS FUELED ESPECIALLY AFTER T

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING AT GAS STATION DUE TO FLOODING OR OTHER ISSUE. DEALER WOULD NOT ADMIT ITS A PROBLEM. HAPPENED APPROX 4 TIMES WHERE I STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED. HAD TO DRIVE VEHICLE IN PARKING LOT ACCELERATING 8 TIMES TO BURN OFF FUEL BEFORE IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE CAR SHUDDERED. CANNOT FILL UP TANK ANYMORE. WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TANK BUT THERE WAS A 6 MONTH BACK ORDER DUE TO ALL THE PEOPLE REQUESTING NEW TANKS. *TR

AFTER GASOLINE FILL UP, VEHICLE STALLS AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION. MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN FIRST QUARTER MILE AFTER FILL UP AND SOMETIMES WITHIN FIVE MILES. LATER OCCURRENCES MAY HAPPEN UPON MAKING LEFT TURN. TOOK TO DEALER AND VEHICLE CHECKED OUT. VAPOR CANISTER AND PURGE VALVE TESTED OK. WAS TOLD FUEL CONTROL VALVE MAY BE PROBLEM BUT THE FUEL TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE PART. COST WOULD BE CONSIDERABLE. CONDITION HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR UPON FILL UP FOR OVER A YEAR NOW WITH RARE EXCEPTION. I FIND IT QUITE DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS WHEN VEHICLE STALLS IN TRAFFIC AS IT TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO GET RESTARTED AND MAY REOCCUR AGAIN. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO REPAIR TOMORROW, 31 OCTOBER 2013. IF VEHICLE IS RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE I WOULD LIKE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. *TR

ENGINE STALLS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. BEEN IN SHOP ALL 6 TIMES. IN THERE TODAY. STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER STEERING OR ANYTHING. JUST HAD TO COAST WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON TILL IT CAME TO A STOP, I ALSO HAD JUST FILLED WITH GAS EACH TIME IT HAS STALLED. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING APROX 0.5MILES AFTER DEPARTING FUEL STATION. VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON APPROACH TO FREEWAY AND IN POTENTIALLY FATAL SITUATIONS. FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING VEHICLE DUE TO CONTINUED PROBLEMS. SUSPECT RECALL SHOULD BE DONE SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIGGER PROBLEM. *TR

IM HOPING THIS POST WILL GET US SOME HELP AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING WITH OUR 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2011. IT HAD LESS THAN 33,000 MILES AND WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT THE FIRST YEAR, BUT THEN THE TROUBLE STARTED AND IT IS NOW AN ONGOING NIGHTMARE. IT STARTED STALLING AND DYING CONSTANTLY, USUALLY WHEN WE WERE GOING SLOW OR STOP AND GO, BUT A FEW TIMES WHEN DRIVING 35-45 MPH. WE HAD PURCHASED A 2 YEAR/20,000 ADDED WARRANTY WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR (EXPIRES IN NOV 2013 WHICH HAS ME WORRIED) SO ALL OF THE SERVICING AND REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE AT OUR LOCAL DEALER. SO FAR, THEY HAVE DONE THROTTLE BODY CLEAN, CLEANED A/F BOX AND REPLACED FILTER, COOLANT FLUSH, STEERING SYSTEM FLUSH, FUEL KIT, CHANGED OUT FUEL TANK, VAPOR CANISTER, LEAK DETECTION PUMP FILTER, NEW FACTORY BATTERY, COMPLETE TUNE UP, OIL CHANGES, AND MORE. NOT ALL OF THIS WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, SO WE HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF OUR OWN MONEY ON REPAIRS AND RENTAL CAR ALL THE TIMES IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE IT IS OUR ONLY CAR. ON OCTOBER 16, WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS DYING AGAIN AND WOULDN'T STAY CRANKED ONCE PUT IN GEAR AND START MOVING. AS OF THIS MORNING, STILL NO WORD FROM THEM ON WHAT THEY THINK IT IS THIS TIME, AND YET ANOTHER RENTAL BILL WHILE WE WAIT. IN THE TWO YEARS WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR, WE HAVE ONLY PUT ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT, IT HAS LESS THAN 43,000 MILES. THIS CAR HAS WAY TOO FEW MI

AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK FROM A START OF 1/8 TH TO FULL TANK, THE CAR STALLED AFTER LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION ABOUT 200 FEET DOWN THE ROAD WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE RESTARTED I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOPPED POSITION BUT DRIVING POWER TRAIN WAS FAIRLY ERRATIC AS THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO LURCH FORWARD OR ACCELERATE UNPREDICTABLY THEN WOULD PULL BACK BY NEARLY STALLING. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE REACHING MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WHILE IN NEUTRAL LOPED SUBSTANTIALLY FROM 2000 RPM TO 100RPM SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE STALLING. ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR AFTER STALLING WAS SUCCESSFUL. LEAVING THE CAR PARKED AND OFF FOR 60 MINUTES HAD NO BENEFICIAL EFFECT. AFTER RETURNING THE STARTING WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WERE NOT LIT UNTIL THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. THE CAR CONTINUES TO BE IDLE ERRATICALLY BOTH WHILE IN PARK AND IN DRIVE AND AT SLOW SPEEDS. *TR

AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION (FILLING THE TANK) THE CAR SPUTTERED A FEW TIMES, THEN AS I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT IT STALLED OUT. I PULLED AWAY OKAY BUT IT STALLED AGAIN AT THE NEXT LIGHT. AFTER GETTING GAS, THE CAR IS HESITANT WHILE DRIVING AND STALLS OUT, USUALLY LASTING FOR 1-3 MILES. *TR
