2006 Chrysler 300c complaints

OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE THE VEHICLE STALLS. IT HAS BECOME A GIVEN THAT AFTER I FILL MY CAR I KNOW AT SOME POINT WITHIN THE FIRST 5-10 MINUTES I WILL START HAVING PROPULSION ISSUES. THE CAR DIES WHEN I'M SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I'M AFRAID TO TRY AND ENTER A FREEWAY DIRECTLY AFTER REFUELING BECAUSE IF I GO TO HIT THE GAS IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TO GO FIND A PARKING LOT AND REV MY ENGINE FOR A WHILE TILL I THINK IT'S SAFE TO PROCEED. I SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS AFTER REFUELING MY CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THE COMPLAINTS AND NHTSA REPORTS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE ANY RECORDS OF ANY FUEL ISSUES WITH THE SRT MODELS SO MY BEST BET WOULD BE TO GO TO MY DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300C - AFTER FUELING UP GOT ABOUT 1/2MILE DOWN THE ROAD ENGINE JUST CUT OUT (NOT ELECTRICAL AS I DIDN'T LOOSE DASH LIGHTS) JUST LIKE THE ENGINE STOPPED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND CAME BACK ON. THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE AND KEPT GOING AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE, TURNED AROUND AND TOOK THE CAR HOME HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES WHILE TRYING TO GET HOME. HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE AND THAT WAS 5 DAYS AGO. *TR

AFTER FUELING MY CAR TO FULL TANK CAPACITY (93 OCTANE AS ALWAYS) I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND SLOWED DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT (TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 10 MPH). THE ENGINE STALLED AS I CAME TO A FULL STOP. I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND RE-STARTED THE ENGINE. ENGINE STARTED FINE AND I DROVE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES WITH NO FURTHER ISSUE. NOTE: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND ALL OTHER DASH INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE I INSPECTED THE GAS CAP AND VERIFIED THAT IT WAS SECURED TIGHT AND NOT LOOSE. ALSO CHECKED UNDER THE FUEL TANK AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. DID NOT SEE OR SMELL ANYTHING OBVIOUS. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF PRIMARILY AT STOPS AND GRADUALLY BECAME MORE FREQUENT TO SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND SHIFTING BACKWARDS. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY FUEL TANK, THE CAR IDLED ERRATICALLY, SURGED, AND DIED MULTIPLE TIMES, USUALLY RIGHT AFTER TAKEOFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED MY FUEL TANK FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT, A LOUD BANGING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN MOTOR SEPARATED AND DEBRIS FROM THE FAN PUNCTURED THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE. EVERY TIME SHE FILLS IT UP WITH FUEL, THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC 2-3 TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHE DRIVES AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. IT WILL HOWEVER RESTART AFTER A FEW MINUTES. SHE HAS HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AT LEAST ONCE SHE WAS DRIVING THROUGH A CURVE WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED, DISABLING THE POWER STEERING WHERE SHE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY WIFE'S FAULT BECAUSE SHE MUST BE OVERFILLING THE TANK. THEY TOLD ME TO TELL HER TO LET THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE SHUT OFF THE FUEL WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL AND NOT PUT IN ANY ADDITIONAL FUEL AFTER THAT. WELL WE TRIED THIS AND IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE. THEN I CARRIED IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD SINCE FOUND OUT FROM CHRYSLER THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK ISSUE AND THE ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE TANK AND ASSOCIATED PARTS AT A COST OF APPROX. $2000. IF CHRYSLER KNEW THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE, IT SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY! PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

AFTER REFUELING ENGINE STALLED. HARD RESTART IN BUSY TRAFFIC. PROBLEM CONTINUES TODAY. *TR

IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PUT SHIFTER INTO PARK. IT IS USUALLY STUCK BETWEEN R AND P. I AM REQUIRED TO FORCEFULLY PULL SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL TO START. THIS CAR HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT I HAVE SPENT NEARLY $1000 TRYING TO DETERMINE. I AM UNAWARE IF THE PROBLEM IS RELATED, BUT MY CONCERN IS WHEN IT APPEARS TO BE IN PARK, THE BACKUP LIGHT ARE ON. I CAN PUSH THE SHIFT TO PUT INTO PARK. I HAVE REMOVED THE SHROUD IN HOPES TO FIGURE IT OUT. THIS CAR IS A PAIN. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300C. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPAIR REIMBURSEMENT.* LD THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER STATING THEY WERE EXTENDING THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY PERIOD BECAUSE SOME OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLE POPULATION MAY EXPERIENCED A CONDITION WHERE THE FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT IN THE MULTI-FUNCTION CONTROL VALVE STICKS WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE STALLING AFTER RE-FUELING. THE CONSUMER STATED HE EXPERIENCED THE STALLING ISSUE, AS STATED IN THE LETTER. *JB

I HAVE HAD ENGINE STALLING AFTER REFUELING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE 2007. RECEIVED A LETTER DATED MAY 8, 2014 FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC INFORMING ME THAT MY MODEL CHRYSLER HAS A CONDITION WHERE THE FURL SHUT-OFF FLOAT IN THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE STICKS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE LETTER INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE TANK HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO LIFETIME COVERAGE. THIS IS WHERE MY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE CONTINUES.... ON 17 JUNE 2014 TOOK MY VEHICLE TO CUTTER CHRYSLER IN PEARL CITY, HAWAII 96782 TO GET IT REPAIRED (MY WIFE WILL NOT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE STALLING). I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER (APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MONTHS). I WENT BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS INFORMED IT SHOULD BE 1-2 WEEKS. I WENT BACK TODAY 3 NOVEMBER 2014 AND WAS INFORMED STILL ON BACK ORDER WITH NO DATE AS TO WHEN PARTS MAY BE RECEIVED. CHRYSLER HAS NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHEN YOU CAN'T GET YOUR VEHICLE REPAIRED BECAUSE OF BACK ORDERED PARTS. IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS AND NO REPAIR IN SIGHT. MY WIFE DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS LOW RISK TO VEHICLE SAFETY AND HAS NOT RIDDEN IN THE VEHICLE SINCE 2008! HOW CAN THE PRELIMINARY EVALUATION BE CLOSED WHEN CHRYSLER HAS NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED FIXING THE PROBLEM. WARRANTY EXTENDED, BUT NO PARTS!! INVESTIGATION CLOSED BUT NO REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM IS STILL A PROBLEM! *TR

I STOPPED AT AN RR CROSSING TO WAIT FOR THE TRAIN TO PASS BY SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE TO DECREASE POLLUTION. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND I WAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BEING LOCKED IN PARK, I COULD NOT EVEN BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC.AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE & MODEL AND CERTAIN VIN'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED TO CORRECT BY CHRYSLER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE ON THE ROAD THAT DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL BUT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM. SITTING IN YOUR DRIVEWAY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IS ONE THING, SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION. ALL VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE & MODEL NEED TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED A TOTAL LOSS IN POWER STEERING, HEAD LIGHTS, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A WELL LIT ROAD WITH A LONG STRAIGHTAWAY AND ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR TO A SAFE STOP. HAD I BEEN A FEW MILES FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A WINDING ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

CAR CONTINUES TO LOSE POWER IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT IN TRAFFIC. WE EXPERIENCED POWER FAILURE SOME 45 TIMES LAST NIGHT DRIVING HOME. AT ONE POINT WE COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 45 MPH. THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN CHANGED AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT STOPPED. NOW THE CHRYSLER TECH SAYS THAT THE COMPUTER IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND A MODULE IS NEEDED. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW AND WE DON'T KNOW NOW WHAT TO DO AND I'M AFRAID WE WILL HAVE A DEADLY ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING DEAD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO STOPPING IT JUST STOPS.

THE CAR STALLED RIGHT AFTER BEING FILLED WITH GAS. I RESTARTED THE CAR PULLED FORWARD AND STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC AND IT STALLED AGAIN. IT RESTARTED AND WENT A FEW BLOCKS AND STALLED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT DID NOT STALL AGAIN. I DROVE IT HOME AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT AGAIN. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM BY CHRYSLER. THEY SAY IT IS THE FUEL VALVE AND HAVE REPLACED THE TANKS ON SOME CARS BUT NOT ALL THAT ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM. I INTEND TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPLACE MY GAS TANK UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT OTHERS HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM COVERING IT. CHRYSLER IS CALLING THEIR RECALL THE X53 19 GALLON EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. THANK YOU. *TR

WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP OR SOMETIMES AT LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED FOUR TIMES IN ONE DAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C THAT RECENTLY BROKE DOWN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS THEY SAID THAT VALVE SEAT DETERIORATED AND DROPPED ON THE PISTON. THEY SAID IT HAD A GRENADE EFFECT AND SENT METAL EVERYWHERE, WHICH JAMMED METAL INSIDE PISTON. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST ME $3,500 FOR A USED ENGINE AND $5,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE WITH $2,200 LABOR COSTS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. THESE ARE SOME RESOURCES I FOUND: HTTP://WWW.PRNEWSWIRE.COM/NEWS-RELEASES/WHY-SOME-LATE-MODEL-DODGECHRYSLER-VEHICLES-ARE-PRONE-TO-CATASTROPHIC-ENGINE-FAILURE-210043421.HTML HTTP://WWW.TORQUENEWS.COM/397/TWO-FATAL-FLAWS-RUINING-CHRYSLER-ENGINES-CATASTROPHIC-BREAKDOWNS HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/300C/2006/ENGINE/ENGINE-7.SHTML HTTP://WWW.REDDIT.COM/R/CARS/COMMENTS/257X31/2006_CHRYSLER_300C_DROPPED_VALVE_SEAT_DAMAGE/ HTTP://WWW.CHALLENGERTALK.COM/FORUMS/F188/REPORT-PRE-MATURE-CHRYSLER-ENGINE-FAILURE-98463/ HTTP://WWW.FORABODIESONLY.COM/MOPAR/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-187432.HTML HTTP://WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM/CHRYSLER/6QZEW-CHRYSLER-300C-5-7-HEMI-DROPPED-VALVE-SEAT.HTML HTTP://WWW.CHALLENGERFORUM.COM/F17/ENGINE-FAILURE-1123/ HTTP://WWW.LXFORUMS.COM/BOARD/SHOWTHREAD.PHP/359652-NEW-FROM-S-JERSEY-2005-CHRYSLER-300C-DROPPED-VALVE-SEAT I ALSO JOINED A GROUP ON FACEBOOK AND PERSONALLY TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WHO THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT T

I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. I WAS GOING 40MPH WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF! I THOUGHT WE WERE DOOMED.ITS ALREADY BEEN TO 3 SHOPS. TWO OF THOSE WERE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS. NO ONE KNOWS THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND IM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I TOOK ON A MAJOR PROBLEM AND NO ONE "CHRYSLER" WANTS TO HELP. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM I CREATED ITS A GLOBAL PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW!WHAT'S MY NEXT STEP? *TR

ONCE AGAIN I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED WITH MY SON IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE I GOT GAS FOR MY CAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND FIX THIS ISSUE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME GOOD LUCK WITH GETTING IT FIXED BECAUSE THE GAS TANK IS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE IN. I AM AN SINGLE PARENT AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR THAT I HAVE AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT STALLS. NOW I AM WONDERING IF BY SUDDENLY LOSING POWER IF THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT THE ENGINE IN THE LONG RUN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I GUESS CHRYSLER IS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL A FAMILY OR SOMEONE IS KILLED BECAUSE THE CAR DIES IN TRAFFIC UNTIL THEY DO SOMETHING. *TR

IN JANUARY 2013, I FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT HERE ABOUT MY V8 ENGINE STALLING AFTER FUEL REFILL (GASOLINE TANK REPLACEMENT REPAIR BILL WAS $1540.93). THE NHTSA OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION SOON OPENED INVESTIGATION PE13016 INTO THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM. THE ODI INFORMATION REQUEST TO CHRYSLER CITED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, INCLUDING MINE. INVESTIGATION PE13016 WAS CLOSED EARLIER THIS YEAR BY NHTSA BECAUSE THE "CONDITION IS ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER'S EXTENDED WARRANTY" ON 2006 CHRYSLER 300 FUEL TANKS. THE CLOSING SUMMARY REFERS TO CHRYSLER SENDING LETTERS TO OWNERS ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SINCE I DID NOT RECEIVE AN OWNER LETTER, I TODAY CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER, 1-800-247-9753. THE ASSISTANCE CENTER REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE (BUILT WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME FRAME) CONTAINED A GAS TANK WITH THE SALES CODE "NSKS" AND THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS CARS BUILT WITH THE GAS TANK SALES CODE "NSK." NOTHING IN THE MATERIALS POSTED ONLINE WITH PE13016 INDICATE THAT THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT GAS TANKS, ONLY ONE OF WHICH HAD PROBLEMS. PLEASE, RECONSIDER WHETHER THE CHRYSLER RESPONSE IS ADEQUATE. MY VEHICLE, WITH THE "NSKS" GAS TANK, CLEARLY SUFFERED THE REFILL STALLING PROBLEM ADDRESSED IN PE 13016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER LEVER BECAME STUCK IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

FILLED UP WITH GAS. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH CAR STALLED GOING DOWN A HILL AND BRAKES BECAME RIGID. TO TRY TO AVOID CRASHING INTO OTHER VEHICLE I WENT OVER A SIDEWALK. TIRE BROKE, HIT A TREE AND HAD TO SHUT OFF CAR TO STOP CAR AS BRAKES WERE NOT STOPPING THE CAR. THEN I ENDED DAMAGE ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF BUSY TRAFFIC. THIS ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE THE CAR STOPPED LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING. *TR

THE CAR STALLS AT RANDOM AFTER A FUEL FILL UP. EVENTUALLY IT WILL RUN NORMALLY, HOWEVER IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES FIRST AND PUTS ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION WHEN IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD BOTH FUEL PUMPS REPLACED LAST YEAR AND IT SEEMED TO HELP FOR A WHILE, NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE BRAKES BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. AFTER TEN MINUTES, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM CAR MAX USED ABOUT 15 MONTHS AGO AND MY VEHICLES ENGINE HAS GONE OUT ALREADY AT ONLY 85480 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT MY ENGINE IS ABOUT TO THROW A ROD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE CLAIMING THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEIR CARS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE MECHANIC ABOUT THIS HE SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN COUNTLESS CUSTOMERS WITH THIS ISSUE AND HE HAS FOUND THAT THE VALVES IN THE ENGINE ARE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW THE OIL TO FLOW THROUGH THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO GO OUT.

BOUGHT THE CAR USED. AFTER ONLY A WEEK, THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND WOULD DIE AT MOST STOPS. THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED BY DEALER PER EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM!!! IT'S WORSE NOW THAN BEFORE THE TANK WAS REPLACED!! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE!! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE CASE REPORTED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND MAKE GOOD ON A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HOW MANY HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?!!!! *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300C. STALLS SHORTLY AFTER FUELING. DOES NOT RESOLVE UNTIL THE GAS CAP HAS BEEN REMOVED AND ALLOWED TO SIT. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL PARAMETERS. WAS TOLD TO REFERENCE THIS NUMBER PE13-016. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN THE VEHICLE JUST STALLED ON ME. POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS WELL WS PRETTY HARD TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THAN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO PARK THE VEHICLE. *TR

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HAS BEEN SURGING, TRYING TO CUT OUT, AND STALLING AT THE FIRST SEVERAL STOP LIGHTS AFTER FILLING THE TANK UP WITH GAS. CAR STALLS OR TRIES TO STALL SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT CAR WILL NOT DO THIS IF I ONLY FILL THE TANK UP TO 3/4 FULL, BUT IF THE TANK IS FILLED MORE THAN THAT, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER FILL UP. THE CAR WILL TRY TO STALL WHEN STOPPING AT SEVERAL OF THE FIRST TRAFFIC LIGHTS, DRIVING AFTER RESTARTING, OR DRIVING AROUND CURVES. THIS SEEMS RATHER DANGEROUS DRIVING LIKE THIS IN TRAFFIC. I JUST LEARNED ABOUT THE NHTSA PE13-016 THAT CHRYSLER HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE 19 GALLON GAS TANKS TO LIFETIME. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER IS ONLY HONORING A LIMITED AMOUNT OF VEHICLES WHOSE OWNERS HAD FILED COMPLAINTS BEFORE THE INVESTIGATION WAS ENDED. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER IS NOT MEETING IT'S OBLIGATION. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER DEALING WITH ANY RECALL FOR THIS CAR. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER A COMPLETE FILL UP OF GAS FROM THE GAS STATION, AS I WAS PROCEEDING ONTO THE RAMP OF THE INTERSTATE MY CAR STALLED AND CONTINUED TO DIE RIGHT AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE INTERSTATE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND HAD A NEAR MISS FROM A SEMI TRUCK. MY FAMILIES LIFE WAS IN THE HANDS OF A CAR THAT I THOUGHT I TRUSTED AND LEAD TO BELIEVE WAS SAFE IN EVERY WAY. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THE GAS TANKS ON THESE CARS CAN NOT HANDLE A UPWARDS OF 3/4 TANK OF GAS OR MORE. NOW I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO FILL THIS CARS GAS TANK PAST THE HALF MARK AND HAVE TO STOP FREQUENTLY AS I TRAVEL FOR MY JOB. PLEASE HELP GET THE WARRANTY ON THESE GAS TANKS EXTENDED AS I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER IS NO LONGER HOLDING THEIR WORD ON FIXING THE TANKS ON THESE SETS OF CARS TANKS. *TR

PURCHASED A 2006 300C SRT8 IN 2014. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTER THE 1ST REFUELING THE CAR STALLED AND BUCKED AND THEN AFTER A FEW MILES CALMED DOWN. I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS BAD GAS. DURING THE 2ND REFUELING, WITH 93 OCTANE, AND JUST AS THE FUEL CLICKED OFF, THE ENGINE STALLED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN EITHER SITUATION. THE CAR WAS WORSE THAN THE LAST TIME. THE CAR STALLED AT EACH LIGHT ALL THE WAY HOME. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES AND THEN IT STALLED AGAIN AS I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER CONCERNING THIS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ONLY ORDERING 6 REPLACEMENT GAS TANKS A MONTH AND THAT 95% OF THE TIME AN ADDITIONAL FLEX PIPE OR TUBE BREAKS DURING THE REPAIR PROCEDURE AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ADDITIONAL COST. WHAT KIND OF A DEAL IS THAT? I THOUGHT WARRANTY WORK WAS TO BE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

EXPERIENCED SEVERAL OCCURRENCES OF ENGINE STALLING AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GAS. ENGINE DIED WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

CAR STALLS & CHOKES AFTER FUEL FILL-UP. PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED WITH EVERY FILL-UP SINCE IT FIRST HAPPENED. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. *TR

THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS OUT AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ALL THE LIGHTS WILL BRIEFLY FLASH ON IN THE DASH, IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND VIOLENT BUCKING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS NOT THE FULL FUEL TANK STALLING ISSUE. I ALREADY HAD THE TANK REPLACED. THIS HAPPENS AT WOT OR AT IDLE OR IN BETWEEN. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR ANYMORE. I STILL LOVE THIS CAR, BUT I'M CONSIDERING GOING ON A CRUSADE AGAINST CHRYSLER UNLESS THEY DO SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY TO FIX THIS. READ THE FORUMS - MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE 6.1L AND 5.7L ENGINES. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE PISTON EXPLODED AND EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,320.

ON THE FIRST OF JULY I WAS PREPARING FOR A TRIP AND STOP AT A GAS STATION TO FILL UP. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE GAS STATION MY CAR STALLED WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC, AND WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP SAFELY AND GET THE VEHICLE HOME, STALLING SEVERAL MORE TIMES. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I COULD DETERMINE WHAT HAD GONE WRONG AND I FOUND THAT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE GAS TANK ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT DUE TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE FED GOV AND CHRYSLER. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT CHRYSLER WAS GOING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTIES ON THIS GAS TANK TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONES WITHOUT A RECALL. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY ORDERED THE PARTS AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS BEFORE A REPAIR COULD TAKE PLACE. TWO WEEKS LATER I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. I WROTE AN EMAIL TO CHRYSLER ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION AND I WAS TOLD THE FOLLOWING "ACCORDING TO OUR RECORDS YOUR VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE X53 19 GALLON FUEL TANK EXTENDED WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE X53 REPAIR ARE CURRENTLY ON A RESTRICTION WITH THE DEALERSHIPS HAVING ACCESS TO ORDER 1 PART EVERY 14 DAYS FOR THE ONE REPAIR AND 1 PART EVERY 7 DAYS FOR THE OTHER REPAIR. AT THIS TIME WE RECOMMEND CONTINUING TO WORK WITH YOUR DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED." I HAS NOW BEEN 4 WEEKS AND I STILL TO NOT HAVE THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED. THIS RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME A

MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND I WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED BY ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR STALLS AND BUCKS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM STOPPED, AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAS CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN LAKELAND, FL ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO AND THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WAS TO TELL ME TO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP. THAT IS NOT THE PROPER SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *JS

WAS PASSING A SLOWER VEHICLE WHEN CAR STALLED. TWO DAYS LATER, AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, IT STARTED DYEING OFF AND ON. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM IF DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS!! *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C IS BURNING A LOT OF GAS. I DON'T KNOW WHY,MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS A HEMI. WHEN MY GAS HAND GET TO A MARK ARE TWO BEFORE EMPTY, YOU CAN SMELL THE FUEL FROM THE TANK. MY COMPLAIN IS WHY ARE CHRYSLER 300 BURNING SO MUCH GAS? *TR

SINCE LAST MARCH MY CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 2006 IS TURNING OFF THE ENGINE WHILE IN MOVEMENT. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL OR AROUND 3/4. IT'S A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR MANY TIMES CONSIDERING THAT WHEN THE ENGINE TURNS OFF THE STEERING GETS HEAVY AND THE BRAKES DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. NOW I'M NOT CONFIDENT TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THE CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO HAVE A COLLISION AND HURT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I MADE A RESEARCH AT THE INTERNET AND I REALIZED THAT A LOT OF 300C OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IT'S CALLED AS ENGINE STALL. NOW I WANT CHRYSLER TO HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS MATTER CONSIDERING IT ALREADY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS DEFECTIVE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. I STOPPED AT THE CONVENIENCE STORE BEFORE I WENT HOME, SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WENT IN, AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT WOULDN'T. EVENTUALLY I GOT IT STARTED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND REVVED THE ENGINE A LITTLE TO KEEP IT FROM SHUTTING BACK OFF, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE ROCKS WERE INSIDE THE ENGINE, THEN TURNED OFF AFTER MAYBE 3-4 SECONDS OF RUNNING. GOT IT TOWED TO A LOCAL CHAIN GARAGE. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY GOT IT RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WERE ROCKS INSIDE OF IT AND THAT ITS PROBABLY A BROKEN ROD, AND THAT COULD HAVE DAMAGED MUCH MORE INSIDE. NOW I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR. THE REPAIRS MIGHT END UP COSTING THE VALUE OF THE CAR, BUT SELLING IT WITHOUT AN ENGINE IS BASICALLY WORTHLESS. I HAVE NO BACKUP CAR TO DRIVE IN THE MEAN TIME, OR MONEY/CREDIT TO BUY A NEW ONE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A WELL MAINTAINED CAR WITH UNDER 100K MILES ON IT, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE COMPANY SHOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE. UPDATED 2/12/2015*JS

AFTER A FILL-UP (NOT TOPPED OFF) ON AUGUST 5, 2013 AS I MERGED ONTO THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE STALLED AND THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED BECAUSE MY GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK IN HIS CARSEAT AND IT WAS PEAK TRAFFIC TIME. ADDITIONALLY WITHOUT POWER I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME MANEUVERING THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY TO A SPOT WHERE THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY. AT THE FIRST OFF RAMP I PULLED OFF THE FWY BUT THE ENGINE KEPT STALLING WHENEVER I HAD TO SLOW DOWN OR AT A STOPLIGHT. THIS WAS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY GRANDSON AND ME. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER THE OUTCOME WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT MORNING I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A SERVICE REP AND WAS TOLD THAT HE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED IF CHRYSLER TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD NO'. FOR OVERALL SAFETY I HAD THE TANK REPLACED. ($1200.00) I ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP TO RELATE THE ENGINE STALL INCIDENT SO THAT THEY WOULD BE AWARE AND INVESTIGATE FOR SAFETYS SAKE. ESSENTIALLY I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I FIRST EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE STALL AFTER A FILL UP ON OCTOBER 12, 2012. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER CHECKING

I DROVE MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI WITH MY SOON TO BE WIFE AND 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO GO FOOD SHOPPING AND WAS LOW ON GAS AFTER SHOPPING I FILLED THE TANK UP AT A CHEVRON STATION AND AS I TRIED TO PULL OUT OF THE STATION IT DIED. IT TOOK 3 TRIES AND IT STARTED AGAIN THEN ON THE FREEWAY AS I WAS CHANGING LANES IT DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND I WAS SCARED TO DEATH FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FIANCE AND SMALL CHILD I COASTED TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE LANE BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET OVER EITHER WAY WITH CARS BEHIND ME HONKING I CALMLY TRIED TO START THE CAR AND ON THE 3RD TRY IT STARTED AND GOT US BACK TO MARTINEZ. IT DIED TWICE MORE AT STOP SIGNS AND A LIGHT. VERY DANGERIOUS. I BOUGHT THE CAR A WEEK AGO BECAUSE MY FIANC IS 6 MONTHS PREGNANT. AND I WANTED HER TO HAVE A 4 DOOR TO MAKE IT EASY ON HER WITH THE KIDS. *JS

WALKED OUT OF THE HOUSE TO GO TO WORK. CAR STARTED FINE BUT COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK. GOT ONLINE FOUND OUT THEIR WAS A RECALL AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME 350 TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER BUT ITS ONLY A SMALL PART. IF THIS IS COMMON WHY ARE ALL THE CARS ON THIS RECALL? *TR

ENGINE STALLING AFTER FUELING. WE FIRST SUSPECTED BAD FUEL, BUT SOON LEARNED WE WERE NOT ALONE IN THIS ISSUE. WE WAITED YEARS FOR THE LOCAL DEALER TO FINALLY ADMIT TO A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE. CHRYSLER THEN ISSUED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE TANK. AS SOON AS THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE TANK WAS ISSUED WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND WAS TOLD WE WERE # 6 ON THE LIST WAITING ON TANKS THAT ARE ON BACK ORDER. I CHECKED STATUS THIS PAST WEEK AND THE DEALER SAID HE NOW HAS A STACK OF BACK ORDERS FOR THESE TANKS. WHAT GOOD IS THE LIFETIME WARRANTY IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE PARTS SUPPORT. WE REALLY ENJOY THIS AUTO BUT THE STALLING IS GETTING MORE COMMON AND WE FEEL IT IS BECOMING MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

THE CAR STALLS RANDOMLY. THERE SEEM TO BE TWO SCENARIOS WHEN THE STALLS OCCUR. ONE SCENARIO IS AT IDLE (LESS THAN 1000 RPM). THE CAR WILL JUST STALL AT A RED LIGHT, AT A STOP SIGN, A ROLLING STOP, WHEN DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, ETC. THE OTHER SCENARIO IS AT WOT. ALL THE DASH LIGHT S FLASH ON AND OFF QUICKLY, THE CAR LURCHES VIOLENTLY, LOSS OF POWER, OCCASIONAL STALL. THESE TWO SITUATIONS MAY OR NOT BE RELATED TO EACH OTHER. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL TANK REPLACED ALREADY BECAUSE OF THE STALLING THAT WAS OCCURRING AFTER FUEL FILL UP. THAT TOOK CARE OF THAT SPECIFIC STALLING SCENARIO. THERE STILL REMAIN THESE TWO STALLING SCENARIOS. THEY ARE VERY WELL DOCUMENTED IN THE ONLINE FORUMS. MANY DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO ALL 5.7 AND 6.1 HEMIS IN THE 300S, CHARGERS, CHALLENGERS AND JEEPS. NO DEALERS CAN FIND A DEFINITIVE SOLUTION. I AND MANY OTHERS LOVE OUR CARS, BUT THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE. WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP ON CHRYSLER, WE JUST WANT A SOLUTION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. OUR CARS ARE STALLING RANDOMLY. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE GM STALLING DEBACLE. PLEASE HELP US PREVENT A CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP DEBACLE. BY THE WAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK IN HELPING TO FIND A SOLUTION ON THE FUEL FILL STALLING ISSUE. THE LIFETIME FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT WAS AN ADEQUATE SOLUTION. I MUST NOTE TO YOU THAT INCLUDED IN THE FIX WAS A STATEMENT SAYING THAT "THIS DID NOT REPRESENT A DANGEROUS OR LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION." I DISAGREE 100%. I ALMOST DIED A

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C DOOR HANDLES FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. AFTER A YEAR OR TWO WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE BACK EXTERIOR (CHROME) RIGHT DOOR HANDLE BECAME PARTIALLY DETACHED. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND SINCE THEN, THE VERY SAME DOOR HANDLE AS WELL AS THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS PARTIALLY DETACHED. ALSO, THE HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COMPLETELY DETACHED. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT. AS PRICEY AS THIS VEHICLE IS, YOU WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER WOULD USE THE BEST PARTS FOR THEIR VEHICLES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE HANDLES. WHEN I REPLACED IT BEFORE, IT COST ABOUT $200 AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THESE HANDLES WHEN CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE ON THEIR END. I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT MY CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE AFTER PUTTING GAS IN IT AND THE OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON SOMETIMES. MY HEADLIGHTS ALSO DON'T WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE TO KEEP THE HEADLIGHT KNOB IN THE AUTO POSITION JUST FOR THEM TO REMAIN ON OTHERWISE THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK ON AND OFF. SO DURING THE DAYTIME, MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE UNTIL AFTER I TOOK MY CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I ABSOLUTELY HATE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (HEBERT'S TOWN & COUNTRY) BECAUSE THEY NEVER CAN SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR THEY END UP CREATING ONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE OIL SENSOR LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE OIL WAS CHANGED TWICE BY A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE NOR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO PASS AN INSPECTION DUE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING A FRACTURED PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE RIGHT TIE ROD. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,430.
