2006 Chrysler 300c complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS A ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO CAPACITY. THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE FILLED TO 3/4 FULL IN ORDER TO AVOID MULTIPLE STALLING FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALE, WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM FAILED AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

WHEN I FILLED THE FUEL TANK THE CAR WOULD STALL LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION. THEN IT STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOW OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT OR SPEED BUMPS. AT THESE TIMES I DID NOT REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED UNTIL I SAW THE OIL LIGHT ON. THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT SUGGESTED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH BE CHANGED. THE PROBLEM STILLED PERSISTED SO I HAD THE CAR TUNED UP. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED AND SO I STOPPED BUYING A PARTICULAR BRAND OF GAS BECAUSE WHILE LEAVING THE STATION WHICH IS ON THE INCLINE THE CAR STALLED AND A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON AND ONE INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED AND STOPPED TOPPING OF THE TANK BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY. I HAVE TO DRIVE TWO MAJOR HIGHWAYS FOR DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS CAR STALL LIKE THIS IN MAJOR TRAFFIC. THE CAR WILL BE GOING ALONG SMOOTHLY AND THEN IT STARTS LURCHING LIKE I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR GOES IN TOMORROW TO BE CHECKED AGAIN.I HAD DRIVEN 25 MILES SINCE THE LAST FILL AND THE CAR ACTED SO ERRATIC THAT I AN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHERE IT IS GOING WHEN IT STALLS (NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. *TR

I WAS ON THE WAY TO A DOCTORS APPT WITH MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER ON 264 HEADING TOWARDS CHESAPEAKE, VA. I WAS DOING 55 MPH AND THE TANK WAS ON 1/8 TH OF A TANK. AS WE WERE DRIVING, ABOUT 15 MIN LATER, THE CAR LURCHED, A DING WAS HEARD, THE ETC LIGHT FLASHED, THE RPMS DROPPED TO 0, THEN RESUMED A SECOND LATER CAUSING THE LURCHING FORWARD. ABOUT 3 TO 4 MINUTES AND INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE NEXT 15 MIN LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING, BUT ALSO STALLED AT THE STOP LIGHTS ON THE WAY THERE. NO CODES CAME UP WHEN DIAGNOSTICS WERE PUT ON IT. THE THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED AND A RELEARN WAS DONE, THIS DID NOTHING. SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND NO ONE HAS AN EXACT FIX FOR THIS. ALSO, MAY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, BUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING, I WAS FILLING UP WITH GAS AND THE TANK OVERFLOWED. NO PROBLEMS OCCURRED THROUGH THE NEXT 3 OR 4 FILL UPS, THE TANK WAS ON AN 1/8 WHEN THE FIRST HESITATION AND STALLING OCCURRED. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL AT BP GAS STATION MY ENGINE SPED UP 300 RPM AND SHUT-OFF IN THE STATION. I RESTATED IT AND IT RAN WITH A SLIGHT HESITATION. I COULD SMELL RAW FUEL COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. IT STALLED 3 MORE TIMES WITHIN 20 MINS. ONE TIME ON A SHARP CURVE IN THE ROAD. I HAD NO POWER STEERING; GOOD THING IT WASN'T MY WIFE DRIVING. *TR

I WAS ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO ROUTE 495S, ABOUT TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY, WITH CARS BEHIND ME, AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THIS WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BREAK-DOWN LANE AT THE END OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP. YOU GO DIRECTLY ONTO THE HIGHWAY. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED THERE WAS NOWHERE FOR ME OR THE CARS BEHIND ME TO GO. THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO ATTEMPT TO STOP, TOO. ONE OF THE RESTART ISSUES WITH THIS CAR IS THAT IT MUST BE STOPPED AND IN PARK BEFORE YOU CAN RESTART THE ENGINE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RESTART THE CAR WHILE IT IS MOVING. *TR

MY HUSBAND FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS AND DROVE IT APPROX. 2 MILES TO OUR HOME. AN HOUR LATER WHEN I TOOK THE CAR OUT TO GO SHOPPING, IT HESITATED/JERKED FORWARD TWICE AS I WAS MAKING 2 LEFT TURNS LEAVING THE SUBDIVISION. THEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER CALLING MY HUSBAND, HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED. HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, THEY SAID THEY HAD NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I FELT EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET OR IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR STALLED. MY HUSBAND LET ME KNOW THIS MORNING, THAT THE CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER HE PULLS OUT OF THE GAS STATION ONTO THE STREET, WHEN GETTING FUEL. NOW IT IS NEARLY EVERY TIME HE FILLS THE TANK WITH GAS AND HE FEELS IT IS GETTING WORSE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED WHEN THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC! *TR

IF VEHICLE IS FILLED UP WITH GAS UNTIL FULL CAR WILL STALL SHORTLY AFTER FILL-UP. *TR

I FILLED UP MY TANK AT THE BP SERVICE STATION ON RT. 17 PARAMUS, NJ AND THE CAR STALLED ENTERING THE HIGHWAY, (RT. 17 SOUTH) STALLED THREE MORE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY, HAD TO PULL INTO A SHOPPING CENTER TO GET IT TO IDLE. STALLED AT THE INTERSECTION ON LINWOOD AVENUE AND PARAMUS ROAD, PARAMUS NJ AND BARELY MADE IT HOME TO FRANKLIN TURNPIKE IN RIDGEWOOD, NJ. I HAD TO BURN OFF A FEW GALLONS OF GAS AT IDLE AND HIGH IDLE TO GET THE CAR TO NORMALIZE AT IDLE AND MAKE IT ROAD WORTHY AND SAFE TO DRIVE. *LN

I FILLED UP MY CHRYSLER 300 JUST AFTER BUYING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. AFTER FILL UP I PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION AND GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT AND IT STALLED. I RESTARTED IT AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR AT FIRST BUT AFTER A MINUTE IT DID. WENT FOR ABOUT HUNDRED FEET AND IT STALLED AGAIN IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. THEN THE NEXT MORNING IT RAN FINE UNTIL I FILLED IT UP AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING STALLED RIGHT AFTER I FILLED IT WITH GAS I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE GAS TANK AND PURGE VALVE THAT ONLY CAN BE CORRECTED BY REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS AN ISSUE HAS HAPPENED FOR MANY OWNERS AND THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING BY THERE DEALERS. IT IS A FACTORY DESIGN ERROR THAT ONLY BE CORRECTED BY THE FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS THE PURGE VALVE. THE REASON IT STALLS IS THAT WHEN FILLED UP THE TANK AND PURGE VALE FLOODS THE THROTTLE BODY WITH RAW FUEL AND THE CAR STALLS THIS STALLING CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT VERY EASY AS WELL AS EFFECTING THE EMISSIONS OF THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT WHICH I UNDERSTAND HAS EFFECTED THE DODGE CHARGER AS WELL AS THE CHALLENGER. *TR

AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GAS THE CAR STALLS A FEW TIMES ONCE YOU START DRIVING AWAY. IT CAN ALSO HAPPEN IF YOU PARK YOUR CAR AFTER FILLING WITH A FULL TANK. IT SEEMS YOU MUST GUN THE ENGINE TO PREVENT THE STALLING. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT JUST HAPPENED 2 FILL UPS IN A ROW AND SOMETIMES IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS BUT THIS HAPPENS TO FREQUENTLY. WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM? MY CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED EXTREMELY WELL. I WENT TO MY DEALER AND THEY HAD NO RECALL OR KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

ON 8/29, I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A REPAIR TO THE BODY. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT TURNED OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, I WENT BACK INSIDE AND MADE THE SERVICE MANAGER AWARE. HE CAME OUT AND AFTER A FEW TRIES, IT STARTED. THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT BUT THAT IT SEEMED TO BE FINE SO I COULD TAKE IT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUE AND TOOK IT TO A NEARBY GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP. AFTER FILLING IT UP, IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FROM 8/29 TO 9/26. DURING THAT TIME, THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED, THE EVAP CANISTER WAS REPLACED AND THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED. WHEN I WENT TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP ON 9/26, IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND PUMPING THE GAS WHILE TURNING THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE STARTED. I AM NOW ONLY ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE IF THE GAS PEDAL AN PUMPED WHILE THE KEY IS BEING TURNED. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO ATTEMPTED TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I GOT IT BACK AND DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER IT HAD WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE ALSO SMELLED GAS WHILE DRIVING IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACCELERATING. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON ALSO. THE DEALER HAS REQUESTED THAT I BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THEM AND I FEAR THAT IT WILL BE THERE ANOTHER 4 WEEKS AND RETURN TO ME IN THE SAME OR EVEN WORSE CONDITION! *TR

AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM WORK, I NOTICED A KNOCKING/GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE, MOST LIKELY THE LIFTER PUSH ROD PART OF THE ENGINE. I WAS INFORMED BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THERE WERE SOME VEHICLES OF THIS CLASS THAT HAD BEEN COVERED UNDER A RECALL FOR THE LIFTER PROBLEM, BUT THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC. WHEN I ASKED HOW THE DETERMINATION WAS MADE AS TO WHICH VEHICLES WERE COVERED AND HOW THE COVERAGE WAS EXTENDED, I COULD NOT GET A ANSWER. IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT A VEHICLE OF THE SAME CLASS AS MINE IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT. NEITHER DO I UNDERSTAND WHY I COULD NOT BE TOLD BY CHRYSLER IF THEY HAD ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THE RECALL TOOK PLACE. THAT IN ORDER THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD, THAT PERTINENT INFORMATION COULD BE TRANSMITTED DURING THE SALE. ABSENT THIS INFORMATION, WHOM DO I AS A BUYER, UNKNOWNING PLACE RESPONSIBILITY? *JS

AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, MY CAR STALLED AS I WAS GETTING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY DANGEROUS. IT STALLED AGAIN A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND THEN IT WAS FINE AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN AFTER REFUELING. SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING ITS THE EVAP CANISTER. APPARENTLY THERE'S A VALVE THAT GETS STUCK OPEN AND LET'S LIQUID FUEL FLOOD THE ENGINE. IT'S SUPPOSED TO ONLY ALLOW FUEL VAPORS TO GET TO THE ENGINE. *JS

AFTER REFUELING MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AS I WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES BEFORE; EACH TIME I TOPPED OFF? MY GAS TANK. I WAS CONCERNED THAT I COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP? AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS CRACKED AND THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER PAYING $1,700.00 AND RENTING A CAR FOR 4 DAYS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY. WE SHALL SEE. MY CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED WITH OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES. I ALSO ONLY USE 89 OCTANE FUEL AS RECOMMENDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS, EVEN THOUGH QUITE A NUMBER OF DRIVERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL COMPLAINED THAT THE CAR STOPPED AFTER REFUELING AND TOPPING OFF THE TANK. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *JS

PURCHASED CAR USED AND WITHIN 24 HOURS HAD CAR STALL ON ME TOTALING ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW WITHIN 2 WEEKS. IT HAS STALLED EVERYWHERE FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO IDLING AND WHILE IN REVERSE. CAR STARTS BACK UP WITHOUT PROBLEM IF PUT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. HAVE HAD FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED, NEW SPARK PLUGS ( MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED COPPER) AND ALL NEW IGNITION COILS. DEALERSHIP SAID THE STALLING WAS CAUSED BY OLD SPARK PLUGS AND WORN IGNITION COILS BUT CONTINUES TO STALL AFTER ALL OF THESE WERE REPLACED. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM GOING, BUT SEEMS TO STALL MORE WHEN I REACH AROUND A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC AND WHILE ENTERING AND EXITING HIGHWAY. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS AND FAMILY IN THE CAR, THERE IS NO WARNING OF STALL AND IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS, THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED FOUR TIMES FOR REPAIR. FOUR TIMES THEY CANNOT FIND AN ISSUE. THIS TIME THE MECHANIC TELLS US TO NOT FILL UP INSTEAD FILL THE TANK THREE QUARTERS.

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN TIMES OR MORE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT ON TWO OCCASSIONS IF THE OTHER DRIVER HADN'T RAN INTO A DITCH WE BOTH COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THIS TIME. I KNOW IT'S GOING TO STALL AFTER I FILL IT UP. I NOW GET GAS CLOSE TO A LARGE DEPARTMENT STORE WITH ACCESS TO THERE PARKING LOT WHERE I CAN DRIVE TILL IT FINISHES IT'S 3 TO 4 TIMES OF STALLING ON FILL UP. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OVER THIS ISSUE.

AFTER REFUELING, MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AS MY CHILDREN AND I WERE LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE DRIVING. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION AND WOULD "JUMP" AROUND. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND EPS LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER,TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND MANUALLY TURNED THE EPS LIGHT OFF. THE CAR STARTED, THE EPS LIGHT WENT OFF, BUT ON OCCASION ON IT WOULD LOSE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR NEEDS REPLACING BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR SINCE HE KEEPS GETTING DIFFERENT CODES EACH TIME HE DOES DIAGNOSTIC. *JB

(11-9-2006) CAR STALLED 4 TIMES IN A ROW. THE STALLING HAS CONTINUED UP TO YESTERDAY (9-15-2013). THE CAR WOULD STALL AT A STOP OR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND AT RANDOM TIMES FROM A FEW DAYS UP TO 3 OR 4 MONTHS. THE DEALER NEVER HAD A SOLUTION. I HAVE REPLACED MANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS RECOMMENDED BY THE DEALER INCLUDING THE PCM. BEFORE I CHANGED THE PCM, I WOULD HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE SWITCH TO RESTART THE CAR. AFTER I REPLACED THE PCM THE CAR WILL STILL STALL, BUT THEN WILL "KICK START" ITSELF IF I AM GOING OVER 25 MPH. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL STALL 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THEN RUN GREAT FOR A MONTH OR 2. IT IS ALWAYS RANDOM. I HAVE LOOKED INTO RENTING A BLACKBOX TO INSTALL IN MY CAR TO CAPTURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, HOWEVER THE DEALER SAYS THAT A RECORDER FOR MY CAR DOESN'T EXIST. I STILL DRIVE THIS CAR WITH CAUTION, MY WIFE NO LONGER DRIVES THIS CAR WHICH WAS HERS.. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED TWICE AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, ONCE EXITING THE GAS STATION WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AND ANOTHER 3 MINUTES LATER AT ANOTHER LIGHT ON THE FEEDER ROAD OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY OTHER ISSUES AS CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED: OIL CHANGES WITH SYNTHETIC, AIR FILTER, TRANSMISSION SERVICE, SPARK PLUGS, ECT. I ALSO ONLY USE 89 OCTANE FUEL AS RECOMMENDED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AT VERY LOW SPEED LIMIT, THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES, AFTER A FEW GALLONS OF GAS WERE USED THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ON THREE SEPARATE TIMES BEFORE. I AM CONCERNED I COULD BE INVOLVED IN REAR END ACCIDENT IF THE ENGINE STALLS IN TRAFFIC. *TR

L- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60000.- LL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD IN MY CITY THE ENGINE STALLED 3 TIMES IN A 5 MILE RANGE FINALLY SHUTTING OFF AGAIN IN A PARKING SPOT AT MY LOCAL GYM THIS IS VERY CONCERNING, BECAUSE THIS PUTS ME AT RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME BUT MIGHT NOT BE THE NEXT. *JB

IN SEPTEMBER, 2010, WHILE DRIVING IT, MY CHRYSLER 300C BEGAN MAKING A CONSTANT WHINING NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT STOPPED MOVING AND I HAD TO PLACE IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND DRIVE SO IT HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER. SO WE HAD TO PAY $2926.91 TO HAVE IT A TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED. SINCE THEN THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES OVER A SPAN OF 3 YEARS; THE LAST TIME A WEEK AGO (NOT QUITE 7 MONTHS FROM THE LAST TIME). THE DEALER IS NOW TELLING US THAT WE MUST HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH A RAIN PUDDLE AND THAT WATER HAS LEAKED INTO OUT TRANSMISSION FLUID AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS 3 TIMES AND THE PARTS AND LABOR ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *JS

CAR STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP. I SWITCHED FILLING STATIONS, BRANDS AND OCTANES. CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW GALLONS WERE USED, THE STALLING WENT AWAY EACH TIME. PROBLEM NOW CONTINUES WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS, OR NO PRESSURE ON THE THROTTLE. WHILE MOVING IT WILL STALL, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND "DING", THEN WHEN I PUMP THE THROTTLE IT WILL CATCH ITSELF AND THE CAR WILL JERK HARD AND ACCELERATE AGAIN. AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ONCE IT STALLS, IT WILL REQUIRE USING THE KEY TO RESTART. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM, THE LAST TIME IN AUG 2013, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD STAYED ON. THEY RESET THE CODES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE MAIN COMPUTER SYSTEM BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY, IT WAS CITY DRIVING EARLY IN THE MORNING. SINCE THEN, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS SITUATIONS WHERE THE CAR HAS STALLED AFTER FILLING UP. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS (I.E. WATER IN MY GAS TANK), HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE VARIED THE FUELING STATIONS AND BRANDS I USE AND HAVE SEEN NO EFFECT. IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER I FILL UP, AND IT SEEMS TO GO AWAY AFTER THE TANK HAS EMPTIED A BIT. THE LATEST ENCOUNTER WAS YESTERDAY (I FILLED UP TWO DAYS PRIOR) WHILE I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE CAR - MULTIPLE STALLS IN MID-DAY CITY TRAFFIC. AND AGAIN THIS MORNING. THE GAS TANK IS STILL QUITE FULL (IT SHOWS OVER "F" ON THE GAUGE). I _NEVER_ TOP OFF WHEN I FILL - I SIMPLY WAIT UNTIL THE FILLER TURNS ITSELF OFF WHEN FILLING. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE FIRST OCCURRENCE IN MID NOVEMBER OF 2012, WHICH I INITIALLY (AS INDICATED) WROTE OFF AS BAD GAS DUE TO HURRICANE SANDY (I FIGURED THE STORM MAY HAVE CAUSED WATER IN THE TANKS OF GAS STATIONS). AFTER HEARING ABOUT NUMEROUS ISSUES ON THIS, I WANTED TO ADD MY EXPERIENCES TO THE GROWING LIST. THE CAR IN QUESTION IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C (HEMI 5.7) WILL STALL AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE CAR DOES RESTART. AT HIGHER SPEEDS (E.G,, 60MPH), THE VEHICLE WILL EXHIBIT A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER (DROP IN RPMS, FOLLOWED BY A CHIME SOUND) AS IF THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO STALL, BEFORE REACCELERATING AGAIN. THE STALLING/LOSS OF POWER ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES, THE CAR WILL OPERATE AS LONG AS A DAY OR TWO WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DEALER PERFORMED A COMPLETE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC - RETRIEVED CODE PO700 - RELATED TO LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH PCM TO MULTIPLE MODULES. (THEY MAY HAVE BEEN OLD STORED CODES.) THEN, THEY CLEARED THE CODES, ROAD TESTED THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER RETURNED THE CAR AND ASKED ME TO MONITOR IT. THEY INDICATED THAT IF THE ISSUE RE-OCCURS, THE VEHICLE WILL POSSIBLY NEED A PCM OR IGNITION SWITCH. MY IMPRESSION IS THAT THEY ARE GUESSING AT WHAT THE ISSUE MAY BE. THE DAY AFTER THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE SAME SUDDEN STALLING/LOSS OF POWER ISSUES RECURRED ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON. I WILL BE RETURNING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM TO DATE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SUDDEN STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM MARRIED WITH A 9 MONTH OLD BABY. *TR

I COMPLETELY FILLED UP MY GAS TANK (NOT JUST A TOP OFF) FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES, WHILE IN THE TURNING LANE AND CROSSING TRAFFIC MY CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER TO SAFETY. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND "COAST" TO THE SIDE. LUCKILY I WAS TURNING AT A TURNING LIGHT AND THERE WASN'T HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARED ME! I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. IT WOULDN'T "TURN OVER" THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME TRYING TO START IT, IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT WOULD START AND THEN FINALLY STARTED. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON (AFTER THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF) WAS THE OIL LIKE. MY OIL IS COMPLETELY FULL. WAS JUST CHANGED A MONTH AGO USING SYNTHETIC. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER IT WAS REFUELED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE COAST ON THE ROAD SHOULDER AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 25,000 AND APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000. UPDATED 9/4/13 *CN

MY 300 C STALLS AND JERKS EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP NOW. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES (MIDWAY JEEP AND CHRYSLER, SAN DIEGO), AND THE SERVICE WRITER SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I WAS TOLD NOT TO FILL THE CAR UP COMPLETELY AS THIS MIGHT HELP. IT DOES NOT !!!! I ALMOST GOT KILLED LAST WEEK WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS GOING DOWN HILL WITH THE LOSS OF BRAKES AND POWER STEERING....!!!!!!!! I CALLED THE SERVICE WRITER AT MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER AND WAS PUT INTO HIS VOICE MAIL. IT IS INTERESTING THAT HE NEVER RETURNED THE CALL ABOUT THE COMPLAINT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN ? AN INJURY OR DEATH ? I ALSO HAVE WITNESSES THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

WE FILLED UP THE TANK, NOT TOPPING OFF, AND HEADED HOME. THE CAR WAS RUNNING SMOOTHLY, HESITATED AND STALLED. NO ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS, ETC. IT ALSO STALLED SETTING AT A RED LIGHT AND AT VARIOUS OTHER SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED AGAIN AFTER EVERY FILL UP SINCE. IF YOU PUT IN PARK IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. CHRYSLER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR DENY A PROBLEM WHEN CONTACTED. I WAS TOLD TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND CALL THEM BACK. ONE SERVICE REP, AT THE DEALERSHIP, ACKNOWLEDGE A COUPLE OF OTHERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM THE CAR IS CURRENTLY THERE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. WE KEEP OUR VEHICLES SERVICES, SO THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM. *TR

JUST FILLED UP CAR AT GAS STATION (DON'T TOP OFF) EXITED LOT AND PROCEEDED ON ROAD WAY AND CAR JUST DIED.LOST ALL POWER, HAD JUST GOTTEN UP TO ABOUT 15 MPH.TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (. WAS TOLD TO REPLACE CAM-CRANK SENSOR). TOW SERVICE $80.00 WORK DONE $760.00. NEXT INCIDENT, DECEMBER 3, 2012, JUST FILLED CAR UP (NOT TOPPING OFF) SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, TOW SERVICE $80.00. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE EVAP CANISTER AND PURGE SOLENOID. COST TO REPLACE $630.89. LATEST INCIDENT WAS ON JULY 5, 2013 FILLED UP AT STATION , SAME AS BEFORE, THIS TIME THE CAR DIED ON THE FREEWAY. TOOK 3 POLICE OFFICERS TO PUSH MY CAR OFF THE FREEWAY AND OUT OF HARMS WAY. ONCE AGAIN HAD THE CAR TOWED ($100.00 THIS TIME) TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. TODAY IS JULY 31, 2013 AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND THE VENTS IN THE GAS TANK ARE CLOGGED. THE COST TO ME WILL BE $1,800.00 TO REPLACE AND ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER LARGE EXPENSE. UNTIL MY BOYFRIEND BROUGHT IN SOME PAPERWORK HE FOUND ON A "CHRYSLER FORUM"( INDICATING THAT THERE WERE OVER 92 PEOPLE THAT HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ) THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE AND THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. WE ASKED THEM TO TAKE SOME OF THE GAS OUT OF THE TANK AND TAKE THE CAR TO THE GAS STATION AND FILL UP THE CAR. WELL AFTER GETTING GAS THE CAR DIED ON THE SERVICE REPS. NOT JUST ONCE BUT 3 TIME

AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ON JULY 6TH, 2013, THE SALESMAN FILLED THE CAR UP WITH GAS. HE HAD THE CAR RUNNING & BEFORE I COULD GET IN THE CAR, IT SWITCHED ITSELF OFF, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS AFTER THE FIRST TIME I FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS, WHICH WAS JULY 26TH, I DROVE TO MY NEXT STOP & MY CAR SWITCHED OFF WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE. THE NEXT TIME WAS JULY 29TH, MY HUSBAND FILLED THE CAR UP & THE CAR SWITCHED OFF TWICE!!! THE NEXT TIME WAS THE NEXT DAY, JULY 30TH, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT & THE CAR SWITCHED OFF. I HAVE NOT MADE THE 1ST PAYMENT ON THE CAR, HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!! *TR

AS REPORTED WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS, CAR WILL STALL AFTER REFUELING. YESTERDAY IT STALLED THREE TIMES WHILE REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLYING THE BRAKE. IT ALSO STALLED WHILE TURNING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHICH PROMPTED ME TO DIG INTO THIS FURTHER SINCE PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM HAVE NOT WORKED!. VISITED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TODAY AND SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON NOR COULD THEY FIND ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO THE ISSUE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE ONLY QUESTION I WAS ASKED WAS THAT IF I TOPPED THE FUEL AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. I RESPONDED THAT I DID NOT AND IF I DID WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD THAT MAKE. PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS, AND IN THOSE MONTHS THE DEALERSHIP RE-FLASHED THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, I HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, REPLACED ALL THE FLUIDS, AND REPLACED THE PCV VALVE. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND WOULD LIKE TO SEEK SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION! *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT WITHIN 3 MILES AFTER REFUELING (FULL TANK). FORTUNATELY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AHEAD OF ME, AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST INTO A PARKING SPACE STRAIGHT AHEAD. AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER OWNERS, I LOST ALL POWER "EVERYTHING" STEERING, ETC. VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY SUSPECTED THE TROUBLE WAS RELATED TO A FULL FUEL TANK AND FAILING VAPOR VENT VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. I'M PARAPHRASING HERE BUT AS I UNDERSTOOD IT, LIQUID FUEL WAS BREACHING THE VENT VALVE WHEN TYPICALLY ONLY VAPORS ARE VENTED. REMEDY: REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. AN EXPENSIVE SOLUTION FOR WHAT IS SEEMINGLY A DEFECT EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS. THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED, AND ONCE THE PART ARRIVED, I WAS TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK WITH AS LITTLE FUEL AS POSSIBLE IN THE TANK. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, I COULDN'T TIME THE RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY APPOINTMENT SO I HAD TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. I PURPOSELY DID NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK TO FULL, AND CONSEQUENTLY, DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY SUBSEQUENT STALLING UNTIL I COULD RETURN THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICING. *TR

I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR STALLS WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN/U TURN OR HARD STOP/START. THE CAR WILL STALL AND THE ESP/BASS AND OIL LIGHTS COME ON. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL THE KEY HAS BEEN TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE DEALER ALWAYS TELLS ME IT IS OPERATING NORMALLY. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND WAS JUST LIVING WITH IT AFTER THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF WARRANTY. IT WAS ONLY AFTER I READ ANOTHER PERSON'S ACCOUNT ONLINE THAT I REALIZED IT WAS HAPPENING AFTER A FUEL FILL (I DO NOT TOP OFF MY TANK). AFTER LEARNING THIS, I CAN NOW MAKE THE CAR STALL ON DEMAND. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FILL IT UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, THEN MAKE A HARD TURN BACK AND FORTH AND THE CAR STALLS. IF YOU PULL OUT FROM THE GAS STATION SLOWLY AND MAKE NO SHARP MOVEMENTS, THE CAR WILL NOT STALL. THE DANGEROUS PART OF THIS IS IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL. *TR

ON 4 OCCASIONS SINCE DECEMBER 2012 (I PURCHASED IT 6/2012), MY CAR HAS STALLED AFTER FILL UP, ON ONE OF THE THREE OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. ALL FOUR TIMES THAT THE CAR STALLED, IT WAS WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND TURNING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TURNING ON TO A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN DAYTONA BEACH, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I DO NOT OVERFILL MY TANK, I ONLY FILL IT UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS ITSELF OFF. I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE CODES CHECKED AND THERE IS NOT INDICATION OF ANY REASON FOR THE STALL. I HAVE TWO CODES, ONE FOR AN AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR, AND ONE FOR AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. NEITHER OF THOSE SHOULD HAVE CAUSE A RANDOM STALL WITH NO WARNING. MY CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED, AND BABIED. *TR

MOST OF THE TIME, THE ENGINE WILL STALL AT A STOP WITH ALL GAUGES DROPPING TO ZERO. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING DOWN THE ROADWAY. ENGINE DOES NOT START SMOOTHLY. MOST TIMES IT TAKES AT LEAST TWO ATTEMPTS TO START IT. SOMETIMES UPON RESTART THE GAUGES REMAIN AT ZERO. UPON START, ENGINE WILL RUN FOR A BRIEF TIME AND WILL RUN MAYBE 1 BLOCK OR SO BEFORE STALLING AGAIN. IT WILL RUN WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL THE NEXT EPISODE. THERE MAY BE A SPREAD OF 3 TO 4 WEEKS BETWEEN INCIDENTS. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE SPEED JUMPS UP WITHOUT ACCELERATOR INPUT MAKING THE CAR LEAP FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE TO ME. SOMETIMES WHEN THE ENGINE IS RESTARTED AND PUT INTO GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY, BUT AFTER A VERY BRIEF DELAY CAUSING A "JUMP" INTO GEAR WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE. THE ESP BAS LIGHT COMES ON A MAJORITY OF THE TIME THIS HAPPENS. SOMETIMES THE GAUGES ALL DROP TO ZERO WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. ALMOST ALWAYS, I CAN FEEL IN THE RUNNING OF THE ENGINE THAT SOMETHING IS NOT QUITE (ALMOST IMPERCEPTIVE MISSING) RIGHT BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS HAPPENED AND ASKED THEM TO READ THE CODES. THEY TOLD ME MANY CODES HAD BEEN RECORDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32595.

VEHICLES STALLING WHILE DRIVING, MOSTLY WHILE DECELERATING. SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY WITH A FULL FUEL TANK AND WHILE PULLING A TRAILER, BUT HAS ALSO OCCURRED WITH A HALF A TANK. NO PROBLEM RESTARTING AFTER STALL. STARTED OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY IN JUNE OF 2013. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS. *TR

I HAVE AN 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C AND AS I WAS LEAVENING FOR THE DAY FROM HOME MY GEAR SHIFT IS STUCK IN PARK AND WILL NOT MOVE. I'VE GOOGLE IT AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN CHRYSLER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME STUCK IN PARK. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE SHIFTER FROM PARK BY PERFORMING ONLINE RESEARCH AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 145,000. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED ONCE WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR THEN ONCE WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP SIGN, IT SHUT OFF ALL SYSTEMS. *TR

WHEN I REFUEL THE CAR AT ANY GAS STATION, IT USUALLY STALLS A FEW MINUTES LATER WHEN I AM DRIVING. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS QUALITY, BUT I HAVE TRIED PREMIUM FUEL FROM ALL MAJOR BRANDS, AND EACH TIME I FILL UP THE CAR, THEIR IS A 90% CHANCE THAT IT WILL STALL TWO OR THREE TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE RPMS JUST DROP AND THE CAR STALLS. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, YET, BUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.. *TR

OUR 2006 CHRYSLER 300 SRT8 DIES AFTER FUELING THE GAS TANK TO FULL. IT HAS DIED IN INTERSECTIONS WERE WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT AND IN TURNS CAR DIES, LOCKS UP AND THERE IS NO POWER ANYTHING. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND CONTINUOUSLY PAY MONEY TO TURN RUN DIAGNOSTIC, ONLY TO HEAR " WE CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" I HAVE SPENT $400.00 TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG.CAR BECOMES VERY HARD TO RESTART. ONCE I GET THE VEHICLE STARTED, AGAIN THE STALLING STARTS, THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR REMAINS ON. AS I DRIVE HOME, I COULD FEEL THE CAR "SPUTTERING" OR HESITATING LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN. WHEN STARTING CAR IN THE MORNING IT FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE. PLEASE HELP THIS CAR IS MY FAMILY'S MAIN TRANSPORTATION AND I FEAR THAT ONE DAY THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND A BABY ON THE WAY. HELP!!! CHRYSLER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT LIVES, ONLY THE BOTTOM LINE. *TR

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT IS ON ITS THIRD ENGINE AND NOW A ROLL OVER VALVE. KEEP IN MIND WHEN WE LOST TWO ENGINES THE CAR WAS ON AN INCLINE. TRIED TO START WHEN WE TRY IT ACTS LIKE IT IS OUT OF GAS. IT DOES NOT START THEREFORE WE HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. TWO TIMES WE HAVE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. CYLINDERS 3 OR 4 JUST FELL OFF. ONE MINUTE IT RUNS GREAT THE NEXT MINUTE NOTHING. I THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A FUEL PUMP. THIS LAST TIME IT SPUTTERED THEN SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DOING A U-TURN. WE TRIED ONCE TO TURN IT OVER AND AGAIN IT ACTED AS IF IT WERE OUT OF GAS, HOWEVER IT WAS FULL, APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES PRIOR. WE DID NOT CONTINUE TO TRY TO START IT AND HAD IT TOWED. THE CAR SAT OVER NIGHT. THE SERVICE GUY SAID IT STARTED RIGHT UP IN THE MORNING. (MONDAY MORNING) THIS AFTERNOON, TUESDAY THEY CALLED WITH THE DIAGNOSES OF A ROLL OVER VALVE. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS THE REASON WE LOST TWO ENGINES. IS THIS A LEMON OR IS THIS NAGGING VALVE THAT IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM FOR MANY GOING TO BE A RECALL AS THE NEXT PROBLEM WILL BE GAS LEAKING EVERYWHERE OR VENTING TO THE AIR OR BOTH. DO NOT WANT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FOR THE CAR TO FAIL SO MY FAMILY COULD ANSWERS YES TO ALL THREE ABOVE QUESTIONS "THAT WOULD BE SUICIDE" ,AND WILL NOT SPEND $ 1700.00 FOR ANOTHER GOOD GAS TANK WHEN THE ACTUAL PART THAT COST $0.50 COULD BE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE GAS TANK. *TR

EVERY TIME AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL TANK OF FUEL VEHICLE STALLS AND SOMETIMES SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE IT RESTARTS. ONCE THE FUEL TANK LEVEL GOES DOWN ABOUT A GALLON, THE PROBLEM STOPS. THIS ALWAYS OCCURS AFTER REFUELING TO A FULL TANK OF FUEL. IF I FILL TO ABOUT 3/4 TANK THE CAR CAN STALL BUT NOT ALWAYS. THE ONLY KNOWN FIX TO WORK ALL THE TIME IS A NEW GAS TANK FOR $1500 TO INSTALL. *TR
