2006 CHRYSLER 300C Engine Problems

There a problem with car stalling and dying because of power being lost to tcm because of tipm. Dealer had my car for 7 weeks and $1900 changing tcm and problems still exist. Didn't even make 10 miles from dealership. Very dangerous

While I was driving the car, the car stalled on me at a stop light, its a safety risk and could caused an accident at anytime, yes its available for inspection. Yes the problem has been reported and inspected by auto shop and dealership. No warning lights it just randomly happened while driving, while I was driving the check engine light popped up then disappeared and 2mintues later my car power was reduced and car shutoff at stoplight.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300C. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds during traffic congestion, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power and stalled. Upon restarting the vehicle, the vehicle hesitated but seemed to return to normal functionality. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 200,000.

Mileage: 200,000

While driving my Chrysler when I stop at a red light or stop sign the car will simply stall out and die so I put it back in park and recrank it and sometimes it'll die immediately after that and sometimes it'll wait till the next red light or until I'm making next stop. And when the car is in park it'll stall out I'll simply have to crank it right back up sometimes it'll stall out immediately after that and sometimes it'll run for a minute or two and then stall out. But as long as I got my gas my foot on the gas while I'm breaking at the same time it won't die

Yesterday I experienced an SUA incident and nearly lost my life. I was entering a freeway and began to accelerate my car. Suddenly I felt as if the gears kicked and the car began to accelerate on its own to max revolutions. I pressed down on the brakes to see if it would stop and there was heavy resistance. I took my foot on the break and the car began to accelerate and rev completely on its own and the engine felt as if it was going to explode. I luckily was able to jam my foot on the break and pull over to the emergency lane and eventually come to a full stop. From there I put the car in park and removed my foot from the break pedal. Again the car began to jump to full revs with the engine screaming. I turned the car off and on several times and this continued to happen. After waiting one hour I was able to start the car and drive 20 mph back to my home and I will have it towed to a repair shop shortly. If I panicked or was not strong enough to press down on the brake pedal, the car would have accelerated to full speed and I certainly would have died and likely other people would have too.

The first time I was on the highway and then engine just stalled out on me during rush hour traffic is was almost rear-end by a simi truck I got off the highway and get the car started and then when I was at a stop sign and I started to make my left hand turn i was about half way into my turn and it sallied out again with traffic coming from both directions and it didn't want to start thank god that the oncoming car tired off and then other was able to slow down enough to go around me as I am scared to death that I was going to be hit due to the car stalled out and left me sitting in the middle of the road our car has left me twice now at the same intersection as I was making my turn these are not the only times that it's stalled out on us I am not comfortable driving our car as with it stalling out 3 time's in a 2 day time that put my life and others in danger something needs to be done about this issue before someone gets killed due to the sudden stalling we live out in a rural area with no other transportation so we need our car and depend on it and can't afford to get a new car this is a VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO GET ADDRESSED ASAP

Everytime I fill the gas tank the car stalls out several times and then stalls when deceleration and turning.

The car engine just stops when in idle or while driving . I have almost been rear ended several times on the highway and on the city streets. the engine just stops running and the car shuts down.The car had a recall for the tank and fuel o ring which was suppose to fix the problem but it did not brought it to the dealer again had it replaced again problem still existed . Went back to the dealer they said they could not duplicate it then i drove it it stopped and i turned around and brought it back then they duplicated it . I have been replacing parts that have nothing to do with the stalling problem. it is currently in the dealer as we speak. this problem started when i had 64000 miles on it then it progressively got worse

Car stalls out when driving. Almost was rear-ended, broadside, front ended and sideswiped too many times to note! Have new gas tank per recall. Still stalls. Dealership has witnessed stall but can't locate problem and charges me 150.00 for useless diagnostic test and still not able to find stalling problem. Dealership doesn't care. Laughed at me. Had it in shop several times. Nothing. I'm disabled and on fixed income. Dealership attempts to have me purchase new vehicle. I can't afford one! Stalls out when turning, stopped and while maintaining consistent speed. Can't fill up gas tank or stalling is worse. Can't let tank run under 1/4 full or stalling. I'm barely able to drive anywhere due to fear of stalling and getting hit. Chrysler seems to not care. I told service manager that if I or someone else is hurt or killed its their fault for not fixing or caring about owners of this car. Death and injuries are going to happen cuz this is so dangerous and horror filled! I don't know what else to do. My beautiful 300 is not safe. I am basically carless. This has been going on for almost 4 years with no resolution or kindness. I almost was hit by a gravel truck when attempting to push car out of road! IM DISABLED!!! I can't go anywhere without being afraid it will stall at anytime for no reason. Dealership has checked repeatedly and diagnosis tests and even left car at dealership for days and still no resolution. They really don't care. I once loved Chrysler and now I am full of fear and anger that Chrysler doesn't care. There is numerous complaints about the same problem. Dealership did suggest I have a full tune up at several hundreds dollars! HA! Said a tune up will not fix it and nothing showed on diagnosis a need for tune up. Car runs beautiful when not stalling! My heart is broken. What's the point of charging me 150.00 for nothing? Then laugh when car stalls as I leave dealership. Guess that's how poor people are treated.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300C. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the RPM decreased, and the vehicle went into Limp Mode with the accelerator pedal depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle then stalled. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure recurred after refueling the vehicle. The contact was able to restart the vehicle however while accelerating, the vehicle went into Limp Mode. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure; however, the contact was awaiting a callback. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

When fuel tank is filled beyond 3/4 of a tank the engine stalls. I've been in many scary situations where this happened. I bought a new car because I was scared to drive this one. Upon learning there was an issue I contacted my local dealer who said a new fuel tank would be ordered and I would be contacted the next week to have it installed. 2 weeks later I contacted them and was told they had to diagnose the problem. After discussing the issue the dealer assured the tank was being ordered. Hopefully the problem will be fixed with the replacement tank - it remains to be seen. Why is this not a recall? It is a safety issue when a car stalls while being driven. Age of the vehicle should not be a factor - this car only has 66,000 miles. I am the original owner

Just turned 200k miles well maintained car. #7 lifter stuck with a bang. Eng light came on with codes. This is a known issue for this build. Car can be turned over to manufacture for investigational and safety to see their engineering from 2006 mds systems. Longevity research

My Car broke down in a parking lot (drove there completely fine and the heat gauge didn't read the car was overheating). I got my car towed to bryants automotive in Redding CA. The cars upper radiator hose fell off causing my engine to overheat. 0 check engine light, 0 codes shown. I was quoted 10k, and I am basically screwed because I dont have that kind of money. Very disappointing and I would like an investigation into this issue.

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS. GOING 30 MILES AND HIGHER THE TAC WILL DROP TO ZERO AND WITH IN SECONDS THE CAR WILL JERK AND IT'S RUNNING AGAIN. WHEN THE CAR DIES ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE LIGHTING BOLT, ALL OF THEM AND WHEN IT'S DONE DOING THIS. THE CHECK ENGINE ISN'T ON. SO YOU CAN'T GET A CODE TO READ. DEC. 28 2020 MY WIFE WENT TO THE STORE AND SHE HAD OUR GRAND DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. SHE WENT TO MAKE A LEFT INTO THE SHOPPING CENTER WHEN THE CAR DIED. THE ON COMING CAR HAD TO SERVE TO KEEP FROM HITTING HER. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. BEEN TO THREE MECHCANICS AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. IF YOU GO TO ANY CHRYSLER 300C FORUMS, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE THE SAME ANSWER DEALERS AND MECHCANICS DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. CAR COMPLAINTS HAS 45 COMPLAINTS ALONE. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, IT WILL. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED OR HURT REAL BAD.

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, THE CAR STARTS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND DRIVES OFF WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AS THE CAR SLOWS DOWN WHETHER STOPPING OR TURNING THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN THE CAR VEERS INTO THE OTHER LANE BECAUSE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THE CAR HAS TO STOPPED BEFORE IT CAN BE RESTARTED. ALSO IF YOU ARE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AFTER REFILLING WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE WILL REACH THE DESIRED SPEED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, AFTER MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AS SOON THE DESIRED SPEED IS REACH AND THE MOTOR SLOWS, THE CAR MOTOR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. THIS SCENARIO WILL CONTINUE UNTIL SOME GAS IS BURNED OUT OF THE GAS TANK. AFTERWARDS THE CARS RUNS FINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THE INSPECTION BECAUSE THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

I HAVE HAD CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE CONTROL ARMS, TIE RODS, AND THE DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL BROKEN. I HAD TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR TWICE NOW. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE COSTS THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. THE RADIATOR ISSUES HAVE COME WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. MY ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I NEVER HAD ANY WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE MOTOR BLOWING. I HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE TO MY CAR, BUT A NEW ENGINE, 2 RADIATORS, TIE RODS, AND CONTROL ARM REPAIRS/CHANGES SEEM TO BE THE CONTINUUM FOR MY CAR. THE DOOR HANDLES ARE COSMETIC AND HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I HAVE RECORDS FROM MY DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER PLACE I ENTRUST WITH MY VEHICLE.

I WAS PICKING MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL, WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR. THE CAR WOULDN'T KICK OVER, THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AND RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH ONCE I DID GET IT STARTED, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, A VALVE WENT THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK CAUSING TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. A NEW ENGINE BLOCK WAS NEEDED (JASPERS) AT THE COST OF OVER $6000. I CONTACTED CHRYSLERS COOPERATE OFFICE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE'S NO RECALL ON THE ENGINE, AND BEING THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, I WAS JUST STUCK WITH A USELESS CAR WITH A BLOWN ENGINE. I THINK THAT THIS IS SO PITIFUL FOR A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY TO STICK ALL OF THESE CHRYSLER/DODGE OWNERS WITH VEHICLES WITH KNOWN ENGINE PROBLEMS!. JUST LOOK ON THIS SITE, OR JUST GOOGLE CHRYSLER 300/C & DODGE ENGINE PROBLEMS, YOU'LL FIND 100'S, IF NOT 1000'S OF CHRYSLER/DODGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE FAILURE. SHAME ON CHRYSLER!. I KNOW THAT PUTTING A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE ENGINES WOULD BE A VERY COSTLY THING TO DO, HOWEVER IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO!....SHAME ON CHRYSLER!. I WOULD NEVER BUY A DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLE AGAIN!....

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 6.1L ENGINE STALLS RANDOMLY WHEN STOPPED, COMING TO A STOP OR CRUISING SPEED. SOMETIMES IT'LL TAKE MONTHS FOR REOCCURRENCE THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT HAPPENS WHILE, ENGINE STALLED. HAPPENS WHILE MAKE A TURN AT A LIGHT ALSO. STARTS BACK UP AND SOMETIMES STALLS INSTANTLY. AFTER LIKE THE THIRD STALL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ONLY FAULT CODE IS P0700. BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2015 AND LESS THAN TWO MONTHS LATER IS WHEN I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST OCCURRENCE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES THAT YEAR AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. ABOUT FIVE MONTHS LATER (2016) IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ENGINE STALLS OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS TIME IT WOULDN'T START SO I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER TWO MONTHS OF THEM HAVING MY CAR THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SO I AGREED TO REPLACE IT. TWO MONTHS LATER SAME THING AGAIN SO OBVIOUSLY THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WASN'T THE PROBLEM. MIGHT I ADD THAT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A HARD "BUCK" FROM THE TRANSMISSION, LIKE IT WANTS TO LOCK UP. I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND CHRYSLER CLAIMS TO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM TERRIFIED EVERY TIME I'M IN THIS VEHICLE.

IT IS STILL PARKED AT THE GAS STATION AND WE ARE HOPING WELL BE ABLE TO GET IT HOME BEFORE HAVING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS 1 1/2 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE WE ASSUMED IT WAS MISFIRING (WHEN IT WAS WANTING TO CUT OFF). WE'VE CHANGED THE CAMSHAFT (PRIOR TO HAVING THE PCM REPLACED) AND EGR VALVE AS WELL. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT HAVE STILL ATTEMPTED TO GET CODES READ... NO CODES. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD A HAND IN MAKING..... HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE YOU REALIZE THAT THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE... BUT I GUESS YOU'D RATHER A LAWSUIT ON YOUR HANDS FOR A DEATH RATHER THEN FIXING ALL THESE CARS THE RIGHT WAY. #UNSATISFIEDBUYER TOOK A SHOT AT THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR AND AM SADLY DISAPPOINTED 2006 300C 5.7L HEMI. WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR IF YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT.

CAR RANDOMLY STALLS, AT ANY SPEED, DASH LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF, WIPERS TURN ON BY THEM SELF , HORN SOUNDS BY ITSELF. HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 MONTHS, HAD AT SOMETIMES 40+ CODES COME UP ON THE COMPUTER. CHANGED MULTIPLY MODULES THEY CANT FIGURE IT OUT

THE CAR WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. OFTEN WHEN IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT, AND SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE OIL LIGHT WARNING COMES ON, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT, AND POWER STEERING CEASES TO WORK. I MUST RESTART THE CAR AND REV THE ENGINE BEFORE PROCEEDING, IT HAS YET TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE HAD THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP MECHANICS LOOK AT THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, USUALLY WITH INCREASED FREQUENCY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL. TO REITERATE, OFTEN WHEN I AM IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT THE CHRYSLER 300 STALLS. BUT THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AS WELL. THE MECHANICS I HAVE HAD LOOK AT MY CAR HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. BUT IT USUALLY HAPPENS WITH GREATER FREQUENCY RIGHT AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK TO FULL.

MY CHRYSLER 300C HAS BEEN STALLING EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. IVE TAKEN IT TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS. ONE OF THEM CHARGED ME MORE THEN $300 FOR NOTHING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T EVEN FIND THE PROBLEM BUT ENDED UP CHARGING ME FOR THE TIME. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP CHANGED MY FUEL TANK THAT CHRYSLER GAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS STILL STALLING AT EVERY STOP I MAKE. I THINK THE PROBLEM ISN'T WITH THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE IT DID NOT FIX THE STALLING ISSUE. I THINK THAT ITS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WIRING OR COMPUTER. I ALSO THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAS TANK BUT ITS CLEARLY NOT. WHY SHOULD I BE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A FAULTY PROBLEM THAT ISNT MY FAULT. I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR AND ITS ONLY GOT 140,000KM ON IT. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A CHEAPER WAY TO HANDLE WITH THIS ISSUE OTHER THEN SPENDING HOURS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM NOT ME. THE CAR HAS DIED ON ME WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION. THAT IS NOT SAFE AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THEN 20 TIMES. I ALSO FEEL LIKE IM DAMAGING MY CAR EVERYTIME I HAVE TO TURN IT BACK ON. IT ALSO GUZZLES THE GAS MORE JUST BY TURNING IT BACK ON EVERYTIME. PLEASE GET CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IF THE CAR STILL HAS THE STALLING ISSUE AFTER GETTING THE GAS TANK CHANGED THEN ATLEAST GET CHRYSLER TO FIND THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO ME.

MY CAR HAS BEEN DISPLAYING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR FOR ABOUT THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. THE MORE RECENT PROBLEM I'VE EXPERIENCED IS THAT MY CAR SHUTS OFF AT A COMPLETE STOP AND SOMETIMES AS I'M BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AS IT SHUTS OFF. I FEEL THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BEING I'VE DODGED A FEW ACCIDENTS ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WHAT IF I'M AT A LIGHT AND GETTING READY TO TURN OR MAKE A U TURN AND IT SHUTS OFF IN ON COMING TRAFFIC, OR IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HAVE TO SUDDENLY BRAKE AND IT SHUTS OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE BUT I HOPE I CAN GET HELP SOME WAY, SOME HOW. I FEEL MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

THE CAR CUT OFF 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON; ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THEN AFTER FUELING THE CAR AND PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT ABOUT 35 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I SAFELY GUIDED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 2 SENSORS (CODE:P0038)- $501.98. ONE WEEK LATER, THE CAR CONTINUED TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP CODES THAT CAME UP: P0038, P0058, P0052, P0032, PMC & ENGINE HARNESS,& PMC ENGINE COMPUTER - $2000 - DECLINED REPAIRS BECAUSE SENSORS (P0038) WERE JUST REPLACED . CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN 08-34-05 JUNE 30, 2015 ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER CORP -MICHAEL BROWSOWSKI SAYS THE CAR (NOW 56,484 MILES) IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY OWE US NOTHING, BUT AS A GOOD WILL GESTURE, THEY WILL PAY FOR 2 PARTS ONLY - NOT LABOR. HE ADMITTED THAT A CAR CUTTING OFF IS UNACCEPTABLE, BUT REFUSED TO COVER THE ENTIRE COST OF REPAIR. HE ALSO REFUSED TO REPLY TO MY WRITTEN COMPLAINT IN WRITING.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE, WITHOUT WARNING, OF MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ISSUE. ON 7/17/15, I WENT INTO THE STORE WITH MY CHILD, RETURNED TO MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE SYSTEM READ, "SYSTEM OK." SMOKE BLEW FROM THE TAILPIPE. FINALLY IT STARTED, BUT SHOOK VIOLENTLY. GRATEFUL I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY ALONE OR WHILE DRIVING. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT HAD THIS OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS COST ME $560 (THREE TOWS TO REPAIR SHOP #1, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP #2 AND FINALLY HOME AND A CHARGE FROM EACH REPAIR SHOP TO LOOK AT AND ASSESS THE DAMAGES (NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF THE RENTAL CARS). END RESULT, "PISTON #4 DAMAGED, MISSING LARGE PIECE OF PISTON TOP, NEED TO REPLACE ENGINE, ESTIMATED COST $8093." THE SERVICE TECH SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. BASED ON NUMEROUS REPORTS OF COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE FOUND ONLINE WHILE RESEARCHING THE COST OF REPLACEMENT ENGINES AT HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/300C/2006/ENGINE/COMPLETE_ENGINE_FAILURE.SHTML, I NOW DON'T BELIEVE THAT AT ALL. CHRYSLER HAS PROVEN TO BE UNTRUSTWORTHY. THERE, THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HAS THE MOST OVERALL COMPLAINTS OF COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. SEE WORST MODEL YEAR GRAPHIC AT HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/300C/, BASED ON NUMBER OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. IT SEEMS THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ENGINE ITSELF IS SIMPLY THE PROBLEM AND CHANCES ARE A NEW ENGINE TOO WOULD LIKELY FAIL. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAID, 'WE'D JUST JUNK YOUR CAR' (A FULLY-LOADED 2006 I PAID $44K FOR BRAND NEW). NOW, WITH 94000 MILES ON IT, IT IS JUNK? THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG AT CHRYSLER. IN 2013, SOMETHING CAUSED COMPLETE BATTERY DRAIN. DRIVER DOOR BEGAN FALLING APART. AFTER FILLING UP, MY CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING AND IDLE. MAINTENANCE GETS DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP.

WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AS IM RIDING DOWN THE RODE MY CAR FELT AT IT WAS JERKING ARE AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING THEN THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RODE. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND CRUNK IT BACK UP AND DROVE INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND AS SOON AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. I THEN AGAIN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND CRUNK IT AGAIN. IT SHUT OFF AFTER A MINUTE. I THEN REPEATED THOSE STEPS AND JUST SET THERE FOR THIRTY MINUTES OR SO AND LET IT RUN AND IT DIDN'T CUT OFF AFTER THAT. EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK UP I HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR RUNS FINE LONG AS I DONT FILL MY TANK UP.

VEHICLE STALLED OUT AT ABOUT 5 MPH. NEXT DAY VEHICLE STALLED OUT AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. REPAIR FACILITY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM, HAD EXPENSIVE MAJOR TUNEUP, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

HELLO, I AM A CURRENT CHRYSLER VEHICLE OWNER AND IVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 WHICH JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR TROUBLE CODES REPORTED TO THE CARS COMPUTER. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IM DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WILL JUST STALL OUT. EACH TIME I TAKE MY CAR TO THE AUTO MECHANICS, THEY ARENT ABLE TO IDENTIFY ANYTHING WRONG AS THERE ARENT ANY CODES DETECTED. MY VEHICLE EVEN STALLED WHILE AT THE MECHANICS SHOP AND THEY STILL WERENT ABLE TO ASSIST AS NO CODES WERE TRIGGERED. OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, IVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND COUNTLESS HOURS, STUCK ON MAJOR HIGHS AS WELL AS REPLACING CAR COMPONENTS IN A BIG EFFORT OF TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS CONCERN. TO DATE, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THESE ANXIETIES. IVE BEEN OUT ON RELATIVE WEB SITES LOOKING THIS PROBLEM UP AND IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF CHRYSLER SRT/SRT8 OWNERS AND THEY ARE DEALING WITH SAME CONCERNS THAT I AM.

HTTP://WWW.CHARGERFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-47313.HTML ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS WHY I AM ASKING FOR SOME ASSISTANCE IS BOTH AWARENESS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AS THERE COULD BE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT. ANOTHER REASON IS A PROACTIVE EFFORT AT HOPING TO GET ASSISTANCE TO GET FEEDBACK FROM CHRYSLER TO HELP RESOLVE THESE CONCERNS.

AFTER TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TWO BLOCKS WHERE IT WAS THEN PULLED ONTO A BUSY ACCESS ROAD IN TOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN TO A RED LIGHT WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED FOR A MOMENT, THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN IMMEDIATELY CUT OUT AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER PUTTING ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND ATTEMPTING TO CALL FOR A TOW ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO RESTART THE CAR AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF WAITING THE ENGINE TURNED OVER AND IT WAS POSSIBLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO A MECHANIC A BLOCK UP. THE CAR WAS SCANNED AND NO ENGINE CODES WERE FOUND AND OIL PRESSURE WAS FOUND TO BE FINE. THE CAR WAS GIVEN A VALVE FLUSH AND STARTED UP FINE AFTER THAT. THE INCIDENT REPEATED ITSELF ON 3/29/15 ONCE MORE AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK, AFTER GOING TO BLOCKS THE CAR ONCE MORE STALLED AND SHUT DOWN. AT THIS POINT I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WITH THIS VEHICLE IF THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR NEEDS GAS AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESS WITH A RECALL AFTER SEEING SO MANY COMPLAINTS. *TR

WE TOOK DUE CAUTION NOT TO FILL UP THE TANK (HOW RIDICULOUS IS THIS?) AND THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PURCHASED FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED AT. AFTER THE RUN AROUND ABOUT WHO ACTUALLY "FIXES" THE CAR, IT WAS TAKEN TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED US $400.00 FOR A BATTERY AND THEN REPLACED SOME WIRING HARNESS WHICH DID NOTHING. WE ARE BACK AT IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I SEE AN ARTICLE IN THE LA TIMES ON THE INTERNET SAYING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THAT'S NOT HELPING.

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.

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 THE CAR THE INVOICE STATED ROAD TEST VEHICLE, DID NOT DIE AT STOPS OR WHILE DRIVING, NO CODES IN PCM. TRANSMISSION FLUID, ENGINE OIL FULL. THERE WAS LIMITED DRIVING OF THE CAR. MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECENT EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER CAR OWNERS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ACCEPT FULL OWNERSHIP BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *JS

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

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 FEW TIMES DUE TO THE RANDOM STALLING AFTER FUEL FILL. WE ALL KNOW THE DANGERS OF RANDOM STALLING - JUST ASK GM CAR OWNERS. *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.

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH GAS AND ENTERING THE FREEWAY THE CAR STALLED. EVERY TIME I FILL THE CAR UP WITH GAS THE FUEL TANK WILL JUST STALL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK AND LINES REPLACED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND YOU MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART IT; ALL WHILE TRYING NOT TO BE REAR-ENDED BY COMING TRAFFIC. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM TODAY.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY CHRYSLER 300C IT STALLS OUT SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THIS OCCURRED I WAS ALMOST KILLED IN A WRECK DUE TO THE FACT IT STALLED IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND VERY FRUSTRATING. CHRYSLER IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP. I READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A RECALL SHOULD BE IN AFFECT.

AFTER REFUELING, THE CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. ALL THE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. CAR WAS HARD TO RESTART. AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED, IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE YEARS. HAD IT LOOKED AT BY CHRYSLER WHILE STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. LATELY, THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME WE PUT GAS IN THE CAR.

WHEN I STARTED PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO SHUTTER BADLY AND STALLED OUT. IT STARTED BACK UP BUT IT IMMEDIATELY WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AS IF IT WASN'T RUNNING ON ALL CYLINDERS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE PUT IT ON THE SCANNER AND A CODE CAME UP STATING THAT THE #6 CYLINDER WAS FAULTY. WHEN RUNNING THE CAR HAS NO POWER AND YOU CAN HEAR A DISTINCT CLICKING OF THE MDS SOLENOID. AS IT CLICK ON AND OFF THE CARS IDLE WAS NORMAL THEN VERY ROUGH. SERVICE RECORDS ARE IMMACULATE, OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES WITH MOBIL 5-20 FULL SYNTHETIC. SERVICE SUGGESTIONS HAVE BEEN STRICTLY FOLLOWED. THE SOLENOID WAS CHANGED OUT AND IT RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 500 MILES AND THEN IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN, VERY RANDOM AND MOSTLY WHEN YOU GO INTO PASSING GEAR ON THE FREEWAY THAT'S WHEN YOU TOTALLY LOSE POWER AND IT SHUTTERS VIOLENTLY. WE CANT FIND ANYTHING FOR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX IT EXCEPT THAT IT MAY BE A BAD COMPUTER OR A CLOGGED OIL PORT IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. BOTH POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ARE VERY COSTLY AND I WOULD HATE TO SPEND ALL THAT MONEY AND IT NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM COULD VERY WELL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

ON APRIL 9TH AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 P.M. I FILLED MY CAR WITH FUEL UNTIL THE PUMP SHUT OFF. AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL LID I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. ALMOST AS SOON AS I STOPPED THE ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH, AS IF IT WERE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND STOPPED. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE ANOTHER BLOCK BEFORE STOPPING AT ANOTHER TRAFFIC SIGNAL. AGAIN, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED. I GOT IT STARTED AND REACHED PARK MANOR NURSING HOME AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WHILE I WENT TO VISIT. WHEN I LEFT THE NURSING HOME, I WENT DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ABOUT 1/8 MILE TO A 5 LANE INTERSECTION THAT HAD A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED AGAIN JUST AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART IT THEN CAREFULLY LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL ENOUGH TO PUT THE GEAR SHIFT BACK IN "D" AND DRIVE AWAY. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED ANY ENGINE STOPS, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY DANGEROUS, SINCE YOU CANNOT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND NOTHING SEEMED TO TRIGGER THE FAULTS. EACH TIME THE ENGINE STOPPED, I NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR WAS DISPLAYED AND WATCHED IT RISE TO NORMAL WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300C, 5.7L HEMI ENGINE, I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE APPROX, 25 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT, WENT INTO THE BUSINESS. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START MY ENGINE, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT RUN. I CALLED ROADSIDE SERVICE FOR HELP. THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO RUN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. THE SHOP REPORTED TO ME THAT 3 CYLINDERS HAD NO COMPRESSION, THE VALVES HAD DROPPED DOWN INTO THE MOTOR, THREE SPARK PLUGS WERE CRUSHED. I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MODEL ENGINE, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 5.7 HEMI'S. THE VALVE RETAINERS FAIL AND LET THE VALVE DROP AND CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED. THERE IS A RETRO-FIT AVAILABLE TO CHANGE THE VALVE RETAINERS. I NOW HAVE A CURRENT BILL FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, REMOVAL AND INSTALL A USED ENGINE FOR $8,063.26. THIS CHARGE CAN GO UP IF THE RETRO-FIT HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET.

IN JANUARY I FILED A SAFETY COMPLAINT ON THIS WEB SITE REGARDING THE STALLING OF MY CHRYSLER 300C AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK (ODI # 10561779). OVER THE LAST TWO AND A HALF MONTHS THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED, WITH THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THE PROBLEM WAS TO ONLY FILL THE GAS TANK TO 3/4 FULL. ON 2/24/14 I SAW THE ABC NEWS REPORT THAT STATED "US ENDS PROBE OF CHRYSLER ENGINE STALLING" AND THE ARTICLE STATES THEY INVESTIGATED 1200 COMPLAINTS AND FOUND 299 IN WHICH THE FUEL SYSTEM ALLOWED THE GAS TANK TO BE OVER-FILLED. IT ALSO STATED THAT "CHRYSLER UPDATED THE PART IN NEW CARS AND GUARANTEED IT FOR LIFE IN CARS NOW ON THE ROAD." WHEN MY CHRYSLER DEALER (WHO HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY CHRYSLER SINCE I BOUGHT IT THERE NEW IN 2/2006) WAS CONTACTED, HE STATED THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS WERE BEING COVERED. HE TOLD ME I COULD CALL CHRYSLER AND SPEAK TO THEM. I CALLED THE 1-800-992-1997 CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS MORNING. I EXPLAINED ABOUT THE STALLING AND THAT I HAD FILED A COMPLAIN BACK IN DECEMBER 2013 REGARDING THE CONSISTENT STALLING WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. I EXPLAINED MY CHRYSLER DEALER STATED MY CAR WAS NOT ON THEIR LIST, AND TO CALL CHRYSLER. THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE ONLY FIXING CERTAIN CARS AND MINE WAS NOT ONE OF THEM AND THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. WHEN I ASKED IF IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE EXACT SAME PART THAT WAS BEING REPLACED, WOULD THEY COVER IT, I WAS INFORMED THEY WOULD NOT. I AM UNSURE WHAT FACTORS GUIDED CHRYSLER ON WHICH CARS TO FIX, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THEY HAVE LEFT OUT AT LEAST MY CAR WHICH HAS EXACTLY THE SAME DESCRIBED PROBLEM I HAVE SEEN ON THE COMPLAINT WEB SITE. *TR

I'M SURE I HAVE BUT I USUALLY PUT 20/30 BUCKS IN. BUT I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT STOP N SHOP GAS SAVINGS AND RECEIVED A DISCOUNT. I TRIED TO PUT 50 IN BUT IT ONLY TOOK 49.00. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND I TRIED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND IT SHUT DOWN. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FLUKE SINCE I WAS BASICALLY AT A ROLL. I DROVE 2 BLOCKS AND AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IT DIED. I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A U-TURN TO RETURN HOME. THE CAR DIED 3 TIMES IN A 5 BLOCK SPAN. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY COUSIN WHO HAD A COMPUTER, NO CODES CAME UP BUT THE CAR SHUT DOWN TWICE. I PARKED THE CAR AND TOOK OUT A DIFFERENT CAR. MY COUSIN THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS OR A BAD OIL CHANGE WHICH I HAD DONE ON FEB 22, 2014 I JUST RETURNED HOME AND GOOGLED, "CHRYSLER 300C STALLING" AND FOUND THE ARTICLE THAT THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING, AND HERE I AM.

THE CAR STALLED AND RESTARTED ITSELF ON THE INTERSTATE OVER 10 TIMES YESTERDAY. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR STALLED 6 TIMES ON LOCAL STREETS AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED WITH THE STARTER 6 TIMES. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO NHTSA BEFORE. THE LOCAL PAPER REPORTED LAST WEEK (FEB 15, 2014) THAT CHRYSLER HAD ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AS THE FUEL TANK AND THEY WOULD EXTEND THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY FOR LIFE IN CARS NOW ON THE ROAD. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON FEB 17, 2014 AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997 ON FEB 17, 2014 AND THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD PASS IT TO THE TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT AND THEN GET BACK TO ME (CASE # [XXX]). I AGAIN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997 ON FEB 20, 2014 AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM (CASE # [XXX] FROM 2/17) AND THAT I WAS NOT SCHEDULED TO GET A LETTER. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM 2006 AND CHRYSLER HAS ALWAYS SAID IT MIGHT BE BAD GAS OR WHATEVER AND HAVE INDICATED THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED 3 SENSORS AND THE PCM OVER THE YEARS WITH NO CHANGE IN SYMPTOMS. CHRYSLER MIGHT HAVE OWNED UP TO THE PROBLEM WITH NHTSA PE13016, HOWEVER THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME STORY WITH ME OVER THE YEARS, FROM THE FIRST TIME I REPORTED THE CAR STALLING 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2006. DOES NHTSA TAKE CHRYSLERS WORD THAT THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM OR DO THEY CHECK UP ON THEM AND MAKE CHRYSLER FIX THE PROBLEM?

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE STALLS PERIODICALLY. THE ISSUE HAS BECOME WORST OVER TIME. THE LAST TIME MY SON WAS DRIVING WITH ME IN THE CAR AND STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. HE WAS 16 AND STILL IN THE LEARNING STAGE OF DRIVING. THE TIME BEFORE WE WERE PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION AS WE WERE ENTERING TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLED. LUCKY WE WERE NOT INVOLVE IN AN INCIDENT. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY TANK, AND BEGIN TO DRIVE, IF I SLOW DOWN AND/OR COME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE DIES. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I PICK UP SPEED OR PARK THE CAR FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. IF I GET ON THE HIGHWAY, I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM. ONLY WHEN I'M DRIVING SLOWLY, RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK. IF I LET THE CAR SIT FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER REFUELING, I DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY, THE CAR STALLED OUT 4 TIMES AT 4 DIFFERENT LIGHTS. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED AT MAJOR INTERSECTION SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING AND WOULD NOT RESTART AND STAY RUNNING. HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF INTERSECTION AND OFF ROADWAY BY POLICE. NO CODES APPEARED. NUMEROUS RESTARTS AND STALLS BEFORE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC WHO COMPUTER SCANNED FOR DIAGNOSIS. NO CODES. PROBLEM HAS NOW RECURRED 2 MORE TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER LAST 2 FILL UPS. MOST RECENT WAS REENTERING RTE 23S NEAR WAYNE NJ AFTER FILLING UP. CAR STALLED AND CREATED A SERIOUS HAZARD FOR ME AND PASSENGERS TRYING TO AVOID REAR END COLLISION WHILE PULLING TO SHOULDER WITH NO POWER. VERY BUSY ROAD WITH 50-60 MPH TRAFFIC. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND STAY RUNNING - REQUIRING 5-7 RESTART/STALLS BEFORE IT WAS DRIVABLE. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AGAIN. NO CODES ON SCANNER. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

LAST MONTH, I FILLED MY 300C WITH MID GRADE GAS, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS USED SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2006, AND THEN DIRECTLY ENTERED THE TURNPIKE. TRAVEL SPEED WAS 70 MPH. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR LATER, EXITED INTO A TURNPIKE PLAZA. THERE IS A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING AREA ABOUT 500 FEET AFTER YOU EXIT THE HIGHWAY. AS I SLOWED THEN COASTED AROUND THE TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I COASTED A SHORT DISTANCE UNTIL I STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED. I HAD BOUGHT GAS AND ENTERED THE TURNPIKE AT THAT SAME LOCATION MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. I HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS GETTING HOME. HOWEVER, LAST WEEK, I FILLED UP TANK AND EXITED MY LOCAL GAS STATION, WHICH SITS ON THE CORNER OF A MAIN ROAD AND A SIDE STREET. AS I TURNED TO GET ON THE SIDE ROAD, THE STREET LIGHT TURNED RED, AS I SLOWED TO STOP, THE ENGINE DIED. I GOT THE CAR RESTARTED AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STATED TO GO AND IT STALLED AGAIN. I GOT IT STARTED DROVE THE 2 MILES HOME AND AS I PULLED INTO MY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IT STALLED A THIRD TIME. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE ENGINE. THIS CAR HAS HAD ALL ITS MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT THE DEALER, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES AND HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THESE STALLINGS STARTED HAPPENING. *TR

OUR CHRYSLER 300C HAD BEGUN TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH MORE THAN 3/4 TANK OF GAS. WE BEGAN TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF GAS TO NEVER FILL MORE THAN 3/4 TANK. THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS. IN DEC, 2013 THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AT OTHER TIMES. I HAD BETWEEN 1/4 TO 1/2 IN THE TANK WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT APPROX 45MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL THEN RESTART AT FIRST. THEN IT STALLED ENTIRELY SEVERAL TIMES THAT EVENING AS WE TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD MY 2 DAUGHTERS AND 2 GRANDDAUGHTERS WITH ME AT THE TIME. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL DLR, LEE CHRYSLER, WERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT THE 3 MILES. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR UNTIL 12-16-2013 WHEN THEY ADVISED THAT THE PROPORTIONAL VALVE/PURGE VALE NEEDED REPLACED AND THAT ALL OF THE UPDATES TO THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE MADE. THE TOTAL OF THIS ATTEMPT TO REPAIR WAS $379.45. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO STALL AGAIN SO I RETURNED IT. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS WITH THEIR COMPUTER HOOKED UP TO IT THEN ADVISED THAT THE PCM NEEDED REPLACED THIS REPAIR COST A TOTAL OF $1,018.61. THE CAR WAS ON EMPTY SO HE OFFERED TO STOP FOR GAS. HE FILLED THE TANK UP THEN PULLED OUT TO 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WRECKER AFTER THE VEHICLE. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR ONE NIGHT AND CALLED US TO PICK UP AND RUN THE GAS OUT TO 1/4TANK. WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD NOT STALL AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAD DISCONNECTED THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A VERY BUSY 7 LANE HWY WITH MY DAUGHTER AND 3 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER THE CAR CAME TO A DEAD STOP IN 40MPH TRAFFIC. I WAS TERRIFIED BUT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE CENTER LANE. THEY HAVE NOW CALLED AND ADVISED ANOTHER SENSOR MUST BE REPLACED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED IN THIS CAR. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR STALLING AFTER I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. I READ THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT RECALLING FOR THIS REASON SO I JUST READ FORUMS AND TRIED NOT TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK BUT SOMETIMES I FORGET AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

AFTER I FILL UP (I DO NOT OVERFILL), WITHIN THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES I DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT THAT AT 40-50 MPH IT WILL "HESITATE/JERK" LIKE THERE IS A FUEL MIX ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. *TR

AFTER RE-FUELING VEHICLE, CAR STALLED AT 5 INTERSECTIONS. VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALWAYS GO BACK INTO GEAR AFTER RESTARTING UNTIL SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE. AFTER BURNING OFF A FEW GALLONS OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER STALLED/MISFIRED. TANK WAS NOT "TOPPED-OFF" WHEN FILLED, IT WAS FILLED UNTIL THE PUMP STOPPED AUTOMATICALLY. STALLING OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FILLED TO FULL. *TR

Mileage: 37,850

VEHICLE STALLS SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, MOSTLY WHILE IDLING. AND, IT IS DIFFICULT TO RE-START AFTER STALLING. ENGINE ALSO RUNS "ROUGHER" AFTER FILL-UP. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. TOOK 300C TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK OVERFLOW VALVE. SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE GAS TANK OR NEVER COMPLETELY FILL IT UP. IT SEEMS THAT WITH ALL OF THESE SIMILAR SAFETY COMPLAINTS, CHRYSLER SHOULD FIND AN ALTERNATIVE FIX. *TR

Mileage: 40,000

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO START. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD RUN PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. THE SOLUTION HAS BEEN TO NOT FILL THE TANK. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM--THE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE IT IN THEIR TEST. *TR

Mileage: 48,200

AFTER FUELING MY VEHICLE I DROVE ABOUT 300 FEET AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION, AND MY CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT WITHOUT RESTARTING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO RESTART I DROVE FOR ANOTHER 5 MILES AND THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN. AFTER THE SECOND STALL I LET THE CAR SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE AWAY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE, IT HAS HAPPENED 2 OTHER TIMES BEFORE. I FEAR THAT IF THIS KEEPS HAPPENING WITH NO RESOLUTION FROM CHRYSLER PEOPLE MAY HAVE TO REPORT SOMETHING WORSE THAN JUST THE CAR STALLING. *TR

Mileage: 51,204

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR IT WILL BEGIN TO RUN, AND IDLE, ROUGH TO THE POINT THAT IT STALLS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED. MOST OF THE TIME IT DIES WHILE IDLING, BUT HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES. THE ISSUE IS WORSE IF THE CAR IS REFUELED FROM THE POINT THAT THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. IT WILL DIE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN REFUELED FROM THIS LOW LEVEL IN THE TANK. THE CAR HAS DIED WHILE LEAVING A RED LIGHT AND GETTING AS FAR AS THE INTERSECTION AND HAVING TO TRY TO RESTART IT WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. *TR

Mileage: 67,000

ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED WORKING AS COMING OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER FILLING AT GAS STATION. STEERING WENT HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. WARNING LIGHT (LUB OIL CAN) CAME UP. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN, ENGINE STARTED BUT KEPT STALLING FOR NEXT 5 MINUTES. - MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES - ALL AFTER FILLING TANK. ALL SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCES REPORTED TO DEALER. DEALER KEPT VEHICLE FOR A WEEK TRYING TO 'REPLICATE' THE ERROR BUT REPORTED NO FINDINGS. *TR

Mileage: 57,500

WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO OF REFUELING, THE ENGINE STALLED AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. THE CAR WOULD RE-START WITH LITTLE DIFFICULTY ONLY TO STALL AGAIN VERY SHORTLY THEREAFTER. EVENTUALLY, AFTER PERHAPS 10 MINUTES OF STARTS/STALLS, AND RE-STARTS, OPERATION WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO REFUELING. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE RECURRED WITH EVERY REFUELING (AT LEAST 4 REFUELINGS SO FAR), RESULTING IN NUMEROUS ENGINE STALLS IN TRAFFIC. APART FROM THESE REFUELING-RELATED INCIDENTS THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY, AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC HAS SAID THAT "THE CAR'S COMPUTER" INDICATES ALL SYSTEMS ARE NORMAL. A GOOGLE SEARCH ON MY PROBLEM, HOWEVER, SUGGESTS THAT THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN CHRYSLER 300CS OF A SIMILAR VINTAGE. *TR

Mileage: 36,000

I FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GAS AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT HALF A MILE THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR STARTED AND STALLED REPEATEDLY FIVE OR SIX TIMES FOR ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS. AT A CERTAIN POINT THE PROBLEM STOPPED AND THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NEARBY AUTO SHOP AND THEY FOUND NO ERROR CODES IN THE SYSTEM. AFTER LEAVING THE AUTO SHOP THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITHOUT STALLING. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I FILLED UP WITH GAS AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF AFTER DRIVING ABOUT HALF A MILE. THE ENGINE STALLED ABOUT FIVE TIMES. IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER THIS TIME BUT IT EVENTUALLY STARTED AND DROVE FINE. *TR

Mileage: 65,150

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS OVER A YEAR AGO. I HAD JUST FILLED UP GAS TANK AND PULLED OUT OF LOT STILL IN A PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING AREA. TURNED LEFT INTO A FAST FOOD PLACE AND CAR SHUTS DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND WENT INSIDE. CAME OUT STARTED CAR WAS PULLING OUT OF LOT INTO TRAFFIC AND CAR SHUTS DOWN AGAIN. THIS TIME NOT TO THE LIKING OF OTHER DRIVERS OR MYSELF. RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS DROVE HOME AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN TILL I WENT ON A TRIP A FEW MONTHS LATER. HALF WAY THROUGH THE TRIP I HAD TO REFUEL AND BINGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION LOT AND TURNING LEFT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT GOOD. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES AND CONTINUED MY TRIP ON INTERSTATE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN OK UNTIL JUST TWO DAYS AGO THE 28TH OF DECEMBER 2013. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AFTER FILLING UP AND TURNING LEFT AT SLOW SPEED CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE PULLING INTO A LOT. IT FINALLY RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. AFTER READING ON LINE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME I TOOK TO DEALER, THAT I WILL NEVER TAKE IT TO AGAIN. SHORT STORY IS THEY WANTED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AT THE TUNE OF $4500.00. I LEFT THERE AND DROVE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORST AND AFRAID TO FILL UP AND PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK AND RELATED COMPONENTS. PLEASE CHRYSLER FIX THIS PROBLEM, I LOVE MY 300C. *TR

Mileage: 75,000

VEHICLE STALLED AFTER REFUELING. FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL WITHOUT 'TOPPING OFF' WILL CAUSE THE CAR'S ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. NO DTCS/MILES ARE SET. CAN BE RESTARTED WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. THE STALL WILL OCCUR AT ANY ENGINE/VEHICLE SPEED AND WILL HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE CAR AFTER REFUELING. THE PROBLEM CAN BE AVOIDED BY NOT FILLING THE TANK PAST 3/4 FULL. HAVE TESTED THIS 'WORK-AROUND' AT THE SAME GAS STATION & PUMP. *TR

Mileage: 60,000

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

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.

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

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

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 OWNER. *TR

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 USUAL & IT SHUT OFF & IT WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART, I WAITED & START IT AGAIN IT DID SO I PULLED ON TO THE ROAD, IT BEGAN TO STALL, SPUTTER, & BUCK, AS I CREPT HOME, I HEARD A LOUD CRACKLING SOUND LOST ALL POWER, HAD IT TOWED WAS TOLD #4 VLV HAD FELL DOWN IN THE CYLINDER, AFTER 3 MONTHS 2008 5.7L ENGINE PUT IN, PROBLEM STILL EXIST, EVAP SOLENOID, CANISTER, PUMP, & FILTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED. *TR

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

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 OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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. AND QUITE FRANKLY, IT'S FRAUDULENT. I'VE GOT MY 5 YEAR OLD SON RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME MY CAR STALLS OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOSES POWER, WITH ANOTHER CAR TAILGATING ME? WHAT IF IT'S A TRACTOR TRAILER NEXT TIME? WILL THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BRAKE OR PLOW INTO THE BACK OF ME? MORE UNNECESSARY STRESS AND WORRY FOR THE LOYAL CONSUMER. THANKS CHRYSLER. *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

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 MILES AND HAS BEEN TOO WELL TAKEN CARE OF FOR IT TO BE HAVING THIS MANY PROBLEMS. ALL THE THINGS THEY HAVE DONE AND ITS STILL DOING THE SAME THING! THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN IT DIES, YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE TO NONE OF THE STEERING AND BRAKES. LUCKILY, WE HAVE NOT HAD IT DIE IN MAJOR TRAFFIC YET, BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW FOR FEAR THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE IN A WRECK BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

PULLED OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER REFUELING INTO HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, CAR STALLED WHILE TURNING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER (IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STEER). MANAGED TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COAST INTO MEDIUM. PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED CAR, PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED WHILE COASTING. NO MORE PROBLEMS ON THIS TRIP. HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 3 WEEKS LATER, PULLED UP TO STOP SIGN AFTER REFUELING AND CAR STALLED. I PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 3/4 MILE AND ENTERED STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY. CAR STALLED 5-6 TIMES WITHIN 1 MILE, EACH TIME I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ABLE TO PREVENT A STALL BY WATCHING THE TACH FOR SIGNS OF RPM DROPPING THEN PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. *TR

I HAD JUST REFUELED (FILLED UP - DID NOT CONTINUE FUELING AFTER THE PUMP AUTO-STOPPED) AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION (ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES). I HAD JUST COMPLETED A LEFT TURN, APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, SO I WAS "COASTING" AT ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE DIED. LUCKILY, I WAS BESIDE OF A VACANT PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO VEER INTO THE LOT AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, IN DOING SO, I NOTICED THAT I HAD LOST STEERING CAPABILITIES AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A GOOD THING I WASN'T DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED AND GOING AROUND A CURVE, BECAUSE I WOULD'VE SURELY WRECKED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS STILL LIT UP (COMPASS, ODOMETER, RADIO STATION, ETC), BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER STOPPING, I PLACED IT IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE SWITCH AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THERE WAS SOME HESITATION, BUT IT DID START. CONTINUING TO MY DESTINATION, I COULD OCCASIONALLY FEEL THE CAR "SPUTTERING" OR HESITATING LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN, BUT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE I MADE IT HOME. HOWEVER, ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING AND BEFORE I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WANTED TO DIE AGAIN. I HAD BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, SLIGHTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND IT "SPUTTERED". IT CONTINUED "SPUTTERING" PERIODICALLY ON MY WAY TO WORK (6-8 MINUTE DRIVE). I AM REALLY BECOMING VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING OUR COUNTRY ROADS, IN FEAR THAT IT WILL SHUT DOWN AND I WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO SAFETY UNTIL I CAN REGAIN POWER. *TR

AFTER REFUELING TANK I DROVE AWAY FROM THE PUMPS AND ONTO THE ROADWAY, DURING ACCELERATION TO SPEED LIMIT (50MPH), AT 25MPH THE ENGINE STALLED, WITH TRAFFIC QUICKLY APPROACHING I MIGHT ADD, AND LEFT ME COASTING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THANKFULLY, AT WHICH TIME I HAD TO ATTEMPT A RESTART 3 TIMES BEFORE IT DID START, WHEN IT STARTED I HAD NO ISSUES FOR A FEW MONTHS. THIS EXACT SITUATION HAPPENED TO ME EVERY OTHER MONTH FOR A YEAR UNTIL I LEARNED TO NOT FUEL THE VEHICLE TO THE TOP. IT IS A CONSIDERABLE INCONVENIENCE TO NOT BE ABLE TO FILL THE CAR TO ITS CAPACITY, ESPECIALLY ON LONG TRIPS. I AM JUST AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN, AT ANY TIME, WITH NO WARNING, QUITE AN UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING ACTUALLY. I HOPE FOR A SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

GOING FOR A 1000 MILE TRIP FROM SAINT CLOUD FL. TO PITTSBURGH PA. I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK . WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE STATION THE ENGINE STALLED. IT STALLED TWICE AGAIN A MILE AWAY WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH. ON MY TRIP TO PITTSBURGH THE CAR STALLED ABOUT 5 SEPARATE TIMES ALL AFTER GETTING THE GAS TANK FILLED. MOST STALLS OCCURRED WHEN STOPPED BUT AT LEAST TWICE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. CALLED CHRYSLER AND GOT NO WHERE. THEIR SUGGESTION WAS TO TAKE CAR TO A DEALER AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD. NEVER A SCRATCH , OR DENTS. ALWAYS KEPT COVERED IN GARAGE. IT IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. I AM SHOCKED ABOUT THIS STALLING AND CHRYSLER'S REPLY TO MY ASKING FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK FULL I DROVE THE CAR 1-2 MILES AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO GO FORWARD THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED. I COASTED TO A STOP JUST PAST THE INTERSECTION AND WAS ABLE TO RE-START IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT A MILE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD ONLY THIS TIME I WAS NOT STOPPED, BUT DRIVING AND ACCELERATING AND IT DIED AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO A STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THEN STOPPED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT TIME I FILLED THE GAS TANK UP WITH VERY SIMILAR ISSUES, AND AGAIN STOPPED AFTER THE GAS TANK HAD USED SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK (AT A COST OF $1600). THE TECHNICIAN THEN TOLD ME THAT IF I KEPT THE GAS TANK AT 75% FULL AND NOT COMPLETELY FILL IT I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS. HE WAS RIGHT, SINCE THESE EVENTS IN DECEMBER OF 2012 I HAVE ONLY FILLED IT TO 75% FULL AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I READ IN THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS ON 05/16/2013 THAT THIS MODEL OF CHRYSLER IS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR THE PROBLEM I HAVE TOLD YOU OF.

AFTER REFUELING, MY CHRYSLER 300SRT 2006 6.1 LITER V-8 ENGINE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH TOWN. IT RESTARTED QUICKLY AND I CONTINUED MY TRAVEL. WITHIN 1 MILE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AND RESTARTED QUICKLY. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER INCIDENT AS OF 5/5/13. I AM CONCERNED AFTER READING AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS OF THE SAME YEAR AND SIMILAR MODELS. I TRAVEL THE INTERSTATES OFTEN AND REFUEL DURING MY TRAVEL AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WILL STALL ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH SURROUNDED BY OTHER CARS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO MY CHRYSLER DEALER AND UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS DISCOVERED QUICKLY BEFORE THERE ARE ANY CRASHES WITH OR WITHOUT INJURIES. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO? *TR

MANY MULTIPLE INCIDENTS - AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK, ENGINE WILL STALL MULTIPLE TIMES SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AND IS DIFFICULT TO RE-START. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF CARE IS TAKEN TO AVOID "TOPPING OFF" TANK. AT TIMES THE ENGINE HAS EVEN STALLED DURING FUELING ONCE TANK IS NEAR FULL, BEFORE PUMP CLICKS OFF. MUST DRIVE WITH GAS CAP REMOVED FOR IT TO START AND RUN AT ALL FOR MANY MILES BEFORE IT BEHAVES NORMALLY AGAIN, AND EVEN WITH GAS CAP REMOVED IT STILL WILL COME NEAR STALLING AT TIMES. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY GASOLINE TANK AND DRIVING AWAY THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. WHILE STILL ROLLING FORWARD I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I ALWAYS SUCCEEDED IN RESTARTING THE CAR WHILE IT WAS ROLLING FORWARD. HOWEVER, THE STALLING WOULD REPEAT ITSELF TWO TO THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED DOING THIS. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAD NO SOLUTIONS. AFTER MONTHS OF REPEATED EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM I STARTED TO FILL MY TANK ONLY TO ABOUT 3/4TH FULL AND THE STALLING WAS SOLVED. HOWEVER, AFTER HITTING SOME ROUGH ROAD AFTER A 3/4TH FILLING (THE GASOLINE GOT SLOSHED ABOUT, I AM SURE),THE ENGINE STALLED ON ME. ON JUNE 12, 2012 I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP, OVERLAND PARK JEEP, CHRYSLER, DODGE, IN OVERLAND PARK, KS TO START REPLACING GASOLINE TANK PARTS. THEY INSTALLED A 4891427AB DETECTOR-NATURAL VACUUM DETECTI....., A SOLENOID-PROPORTIONAL PURGE AND A CANISTER-VAPOR. (THEIR INVOICE #429537). THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE STALLING PROBLEM. ON MARCH 26, 2013 I FINALLY GAVE UP ON THE PROBLEM AND ASKED OPJCD TO REPLACE THE SADDLE-BAG GASOLINE TANKS. THEIR INVOICE 452851 COVERED THE INSTALLATION OF A 68051891 AA TANK-FUEL, O-RING-FUEL PUMP AND LEVEL UNIT. WITH THREE COMPLETE GASOLINE TANK FILL UP'S I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH STALLING. I AM WRITING TO YOU AFTER READING, IN THIS MORNINGS NEWSPAPER, ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS BEING LOOKED INTO BY YOUR AGENCY AND I WANTED TO REPORT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND WHAT I DID ABOUT IT. OPJCD SERVICE MAN TOLD ME THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY EXPENSES IF A RECALL WAS MADE ON MY CAR. I PAID A TOTAL OF $1,453.90 TO GET MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C, I HOPE, FIXED. THANK YOU. *TR

TROUBLE WITH ENGINE STALLING. IT HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR IS DRIVEN FOR A WHOLE OR FILLED FULL WITH GAS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THE CAR TURNS OFF. SOMETIMES IT WILL IMMEDIATELY RESTART AND OTHER TIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT. WHEN IT STALLS OUT, THE AUTOMATIC STEERING ALSO LOCKS UP CAUSING THE CAR TO BE DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES NOT JUST ONCE.... ONE TIME WAS AFTER BEING ON INTERSTATE FOR A COUPLE HOURS, AS SOON AS WE PULLED OFF THE CAR KEPT CUTTING OFF. IT HAS BEEN CARED FOR AND IS PROPERLY MAINTENANCE. ON SOME OCCASIONS, I HAVE EVEN HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO RESET THE COMPUTER FOR IT TO START.

WE WERE DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY FROM MICHIGAN TO TEXAS ON THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE LANE GOING 65 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR STALLED AND IT WOULDN'T START UP AGAIN. MY HUSBAND COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR. HE PUT THE FLASHERS ON. FORTUNATELY NO ONE HIT US. CARS STARTED DRIVING AROUND US. HE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START THE CAR. WE HAD THE KIDS IN THE CAR AND IT FELT LIKE WE WERE STALLED FOREVER. WE WERE AFRAID FOR THE REST OF THE 2 DAY DRIVE. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AFTER GETTING BACK FROM THE TRIP. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO STALL, SO THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT HAD STALLED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING YEAR. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM, I FILLED UP MY CAR AFTER A TRIP, AND UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION MY ENGINE STALLED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO CRANK AND WHEN THE ENGINE DID COME ON ONCE THE RPMS WOULD NOT SETTLE AND THEY KEPT DIPPING TO ALMOST ZERO BEFORE THE ENGINE CUT OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN ABOUT FIVE TIMES AND I FINALLY HAD ONE REPAIR SHOP TELL ME TO NOT FILL MY GAS TANK UP ALL THE WAY AND IT SHOULD PREVENT THE CUT OFFS. I THEN FAILED AN EMISSIONS TEST AND HAD TO HAVE MY GAS CAP REPLACED. I THOUGHT THAT THIS HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM SO I TRIED TO FILL THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY AGAIN AND IT IMMEDIATELY CUT OFF AFTER STARTING IT UP. I WAS ABLE TO REV THE ENGINE AND USE UP SOME OF THE GAS AND MANAGED TO GET THE CAR HOME WITH THE RPMS CONSTANTLY DIPPING ALMOST TO ZERO. THE CAR CUT OUT AT A STOP LIGHT AND I THEN HAD TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AFTER SITTING IN THE INTERSECTION STALLED. I'VE HAD MY CAR INSPECTED BY TWO CHRYSLER DEALERS, A FEW INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS, AND ALSO A NISSAN DEALER WHERE I KNOW THE HEAD MECHANIC. THE ONLY ANSWERS I'VE GOTTEN WERE THAT IT IS A FAULTY O2 SENSOR AND NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AT LEAST ONCE AFTER REFUELING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL-LINE PURGE VALVE LAST YEAR,BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT IT WAS BAD GAS THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, BUT I'VE TRIED USING SEVERAL BRANDS OF FUEL WITHOUT ANY LUCK. I DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE THAT MUCH, BUT I HAVE HAD A FEW NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE ENGINE ACCELERATES BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE IS PRONE TO STALL. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES AND SPEEDS. IF YOU ONLY FILL THE TANK UP 3/4 OF THE WAY IT SEEMS TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG @ 45MPH APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING GOT STUCK IN THE FAN. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE LEFT BANK CYLINDER HEAD. AFTER REMOVING THE HEAD AND INSPECTING THE VALVE SEATS NO# 1 INTAKE VALVE SEAT WAS MISSING. AFTER TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THE VALVE SEATS IT WAS NOTICED THAT SMALL BITS AND PIECES WERE CRUMBLING OFF OF THE OTHER SEATS. FOLLOWING THIS I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND FIND IT TO BE QUITE COMMON WITH THE 5.7 ENGINE. THE MAIN SAFETY PROBLEM HERE IS THAT IF ONE LOSES A VALVE SEAT THEN A VALVE CAN POTENTIALLY BE LOST AND CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS COULD BE A VERY BAD THING. THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS HERE. CHRYSLER IS USING A COMPRESSED MEDAL VALVE SEAT THAT DOES NOT HOLD UP UNDER THE STRESS OF THE ENGINE AS IT AGES AND THE SECOND IS THAT THE VALVE SEAT IS NOT SUNK DEEP ENOUGH INTO THE HEAD I.E. THE HEAD DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GRIPPING SURFACE TO HOLD THE VALVE SEAT IN PLACE. AND YES I AM AN ENGINEER! *TR

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE UPON VEHICLE START. ENGINE THREW A CONNECTING ROD DUE TO CONNECTING ROD BEARING FAILURE. THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE RESULTED IN COMPLETE LOSS OF MOBILITY AND POWER. WERE THIS TO HAPPEN IN MOTION IT WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF PROPULSION, BRAKES AND STEERING, PRESENTING AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND OTHER DRIVERS IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY. THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY BOTH THE DEALER REPS AND VARIOUS INDEPENDENT MECHANICS LEADING TO THE BELIEF THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD, AND IS BECOMING MORE APPARENT AS THIS FLAWED MECHANICAL COMPONENT / DESIGN REACHES THE END OF ITS LIFE EXPECTANCY. STRONGLY REQUEST FURTHER INVESTIGATION OR CORRELATION OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS / COMPLAINTS. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN STOPPING FOR A LIGHT OR WHEN FIRST LEAVING THE LIGHT. IT WILL ALSO JERK WHILE DRIVING.THIS HAPPENS UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL GOES DOWN. IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN FIRST PURCHASED. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. IF THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING AND BRAKES BECOME DIFFICULT TO USE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER DOES NOT CLAIM TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AT THE DEALER. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR WORSE IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ADDRESSED.

THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR ONLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR DIE AS I AM CROSSING BUSY INTERSECTIONS. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY. INTERNET CHATTER SEEMS TO INDICATE A BAD EVAP. SOLENOID/CANISTER OR FROM A VENT VALVE SENSOR INSIDE THE TANK THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND THE TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. A COSTLY FIX. THIS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND STALL EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM.

THE OTHER DAY I GOT OFF WORK AND DROVE OFF FINE. I WENT TO THE BANK AND USED THE DRIVE THROUGH BECAUSE I HAD PULLED IN A LITTLE TO FAR AWAY FROM THE WINDOW I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND REACHED OUT. AFTER MY TRANSACTION WAS DONE, I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THE INTERNET SUGGESTED PUSHING A PINK OVERRIDE BUTTON WHICH I DID BUT IT DID NOT WORK. IT STATED THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER BUTTON TO PUSH IF THAT DIDN'T WORK BUT THAT REQUIRED TAKING THE WHOLE SHIFT GEAR APART. NONE THE LESS, HAD TO CALL A TOW AND THE GUY INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER 300. I HAVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STALLING WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS?? I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR A YEAR. LOW MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I JUST KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE IS NOT. SO ITS SITTING AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT MY REPAIR BILL IS GOING TO BE FOR SOMETHING THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX. *TR

THE ENGINE WILL STALL AFTER EVERY FILL-UP. IT STALLS WITHIN 15 SECONDS AFTER STARTING IT UP AT THE GAS STATION. IT WILL THEN STALL REPEATEDLY AT INTERSECTIONS AND EVERY TIME THE CAR COMES TO A STOP. IN ADDITION, IT HAS STALLED WHILE MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS AND MISFIRES AND STUMBLES WHILE AT SPEED. THE STALLING/MISFIRING EPISODES DO NOT OCCUR ONCE 2-3 GALLONS OF GAS HAVE BEEN CONSUMED. THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE BEEN NEARLY REAR ENDED AS TRAFFIC STARTED TO PULL AWAY FROM A GREEN LIGHT, AND ALSO STALLED AT INTERSECTIONS WHILE MAKING RIGHT TURNS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG SINCE THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY CODES OR TSB'S REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE AND THEY FOUND A LOT OF CHATTER ON THEIR MECHANIC HELP WEBSITES. THEY THINK IT MIGHT BE THE EMISSION CONTROL THAT SITS ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THE TOP GAS IN THE TANK IS FLOODING OVER TO THE ENGINE AND STALLING IT OUT. SINCE CHRYSLER NOR ANYONE ELSE CAN SAY WHAT DEFINITIVELY IS GOING ON I HAVE CAUTIOUSLY NOT BEEN FILLING THE TANK. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE NEXT OWNER MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.
