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

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

Vehicle stalls when idling or coming to a stop, mainly at low RPM. No codes are thrown. Gas tank has been replaced and fuel pump is new, still stalls. There are many reports on the Chrysler 300 Forum regarding the same situation. Many people have thrown good money after bad towards parts and still there's issues. I have my car at the Moss Bros Dealership in Riverside Ca. now for 5 days to try and repair this Safety Issue! 3/28/23. Car has stalled approximately 20 times, 4 times which were on the freeway. The car will start up and run fine for several days and then it acts up. Could be a number of things, but with no codes, pretty hard to diagnose the stalling issue.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300C. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle occasionally lost motive power. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while the vehicle was idle. After each failure, the contact was able to restart the vehicle after several seconds. The vehicle had been taken to several dealers and independent mechanics for diagnostic testing however, the mechanics were unable to determine the cause of the failure. Several unknown repairs were made, and several parts were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact researched and found that similar vehicles were experiencing failure. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

PROBLEM: MOMENTARY LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE AND ETC LIGHTS FLASH. SOMETIMES STALLS COMPLETELY (WHEN VERY SLOW OR STOPPED). IT HAS STOPPED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE TURNING. TO STALL WHILE TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC IS UNSAFE. PARTS REPLACED SO FAR: GAS TANK (RECALL) GAS PUMP ACCELERATOR PEDAL DIAGNOSIS: APPARENT INTERMITTENT CONNECTION AT THE PCM. LAST REPAIR ATTEMPT(11/29/17) THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED THE CONNECTION BY ALIGNING THE PINS (APPARENTLY SOME HAD PUSHED THROUGH THE BOARD) & CLEANING THE CONNECTION. IT HAS WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS SINCE THEN, BUT IS FAILING AGAIN. THE TECHNICIAN NOW SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE), POSSIBLY DUE TO BROKEN SOLDER JOINTS ON THE BOARD THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO PCMS AVAILABLE FROM DEALERS AND THERE ARE 67 UNITS ON BACKORDER IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS . . . MANY WITH SIMILAR FAILURE MODES. FROM THE REPAIR SHOP: "DIAGNOSED AND TRACED MULTIPLE FAULTS TO COMMUNICATION LOSS AT POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. REMOVED UNIT FROM HOLDER AND WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING IF THE UNIT IT TAPPED OR SHAKEN THE ENGINE WILL STUMBLE OR STALL. - CONTACTED COMPUTER REPAIR SHOP AND THIS IS VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR SEVERAL CHRYSLER IN LAST MONTH OR SO .

WIFE WAS DRIVING CAR AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS POURING OUT WHEN PUT ON A RACK AND ADDING FLUID UNNECESSARILY THERE WAS NO LEAKAGE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE DID A TRANSMISSION SERVICE RUNS GREAT BUT THERE IS STILL WATER IN TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE IT IS STRAWBERRY COLOR CAR WAS DROVE TWO MILES WITH FLUID IN TRANSMISSION.

GEAR SHIFTER ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C GOT STUCK IN PARK ON 6/25/17 AT ABOUT 98,400 MILES. LUCKILY CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED AND I WAS ABLE TO LOOK UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A K39 RECALL RELATING TO THIS SAME GEAR SHIFT PROBLEM. BUT FOR SOME REASON, THAT RECALL ONLY COVERED THE 2005-2007 300 LX MODELS, NOT THE 300C MODEL. HERE IS LINK TO RECALL LETTER: HTTP://WWW.WKJEEPS.COM/MISC/LX/TSB_300C_FORUMS/CSN_K39.PDF. I DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT TO NOT INCLUDE THE 300C MODELS IF IT HAD THE SAME POORLY DESIGNED PINK PLASTIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK AS THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE GEAR SHIFTER BEING STUCK IN PARK. I FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO TEMPORARILY GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK GEAR WITH A SCREWDRIVER. AND ANOTHER VIDEO TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK THEMSELVES. WITH THE EXISTENCE OF THESE YOUTUBE VIDEOS, THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD INDICATION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SOME CHRYSLER MODELS. BUT WHY DID THEY NOT RECALL THE 2005-2007 300C MODELS??? HERE ARE LINKS TO THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS: 1) HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=OXTDOGVON1W, 2) HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=PRORQDFJCP4, 3) HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=7CD6OCITJ3K

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. I FEEL IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I'M STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR BUT NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND HOW TO SOLVE IT. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALLS OR UPDATES AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR.

THE FLOOR SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. THERE IS ACTUALLY A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM (CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER) THAT INCLUDES MY MODEL AND YEAR, BUT NOT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THE VIN NUMBERS OF VEHICLES THAT QUALIFY FOR FREE REPLACEMENT ARE APPARENTLY TOO SELECTIVE, JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF LIKE VEHICLES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY LIMIT THE RECALL TO SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS, WHEN EVEN CHRYSLER HAS IDENTIFIED THAT THERE IS A RANGE OF VEHICLES THAT COULD, AND ACTUALLY ARE INCURRING THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE NOT BEING COVERED?

THE 300 HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK, WHICH WAS REPLACED JANUARY 2015 BY TATE IN FREDERICK MD. SINCE THEN THE STALLING ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I TOOK THE CAR TO TATE 4 TIMES, AND WAS TOLD 4 DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTICS. 1= TRANSMISSION, 2= BATTERY, 3=PLUGS & COILS, 4=CANISTER FOR EXTRA FUEL. I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS & COILS. WHICH DIDN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO A 2ND DEALER. DARCAR'S IN ROCKVILLE MD AND THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME THAT ITS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE & POWER CONTROL MODULE. MY CAR NO MATTER IF THERE IS A FULL TANK OR A 1/4 OF TANK STALLS WHEN I AM AT IDLE. IT CAN STALL ONCE OR THE MAX IS 9 TIMES. I HAVE A 1 1/2 YEAR OLD & 5 YEAR OLD WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I FOUND THIS FORUM, WHICH ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE & DIFFERENT DEALERS ARE THROWING DIFFERENT PARTS. I DON'T THINK THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK CORRECTED THIS TRUE ISSUE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH DISCOVERING THE TRUE CAUSE AND MAKING THE CARS SAFE FOR THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS? *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK AND I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A SMOOTH MERGE INTO TRAFFIC BUT MY CAR MADE LITTLE EFFORT TO MOVE. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT STRUGGLED TO SPEED FORWARD AS IF IT WAS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. IN ORDER TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT AGAIN, I HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF MY VEHICLE, AND TURN IT BACK ON. AFTER WORK, A SIMILAR ISSUE ROSE. I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS TO MOVE FORWARD, IT STRUGGLED UNTIL THE VEHICLE GAINED SPEED OF ABOUT 10MPH, THEN IT PICKED UP SPEED AS NORMAL AS IF IT WAS STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. WHEN I GOT HOME, MY ENGINE TEMPERATURE REACHED 217 WHICH IS WELL ABOVE NORMAL. THE CAR ISN'T GIVING ME A CODE SO I CAN KNOW WHAT EXACTLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

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

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

THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE ON THE ROAD THAT DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL BUT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM. SITTING IN YOUR DRIVEWAY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IS ONE THING, SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION.

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

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. VEHICLE WILL START NORMALLY, HOWEVER THE CONSOLE MOUNTED AUTOMATIC SHIFTER WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE PINK PLASTIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH. THE TAB THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE RETURN SPRING FAILS AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THIS WAS DISCUSSED WITH LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER VEHICLES. AN INTERNET RESEARCH HAS INDICATED THIS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEMS FOR 2005-2007 CHRYSLER, DODGE VEHICLES TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE IS AN AFTER-MARKED ALUMINUM PART TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF THE ISSUE IS SUFFICIENT TO WARRANT AN AFTER-MARKED PART TO BE CREATED IT IS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO WARRANT INVESTIGATION AND CONSIDERATION FOR A RECALL.

THE STALL OCCURS MOSTLY WHEN STOPPED AT A RED-LIGHT OR DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. IT HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO INCLUDE WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO A INTERSTATE.THE STALL CAUSES ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS TO FAIL IE. BREAKS, STEERING, ET. I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE CHRYSLER HOTLINE 800-992-1997 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, CHRYSLER WILL EXTEND FUEL-TANK WARRANTIES DOES NOT APPLY TO 2006 CHRYSLER 300C MODELS.

VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING OR SURGE WHILE TRYING TO STOP WITHOUT NOTICE FOR UP TO THIRTY MINUTES OR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AFTER NORMAL FUEL UP (NO TOPPING OFF!). I SUDDENLY SURGED WHILE APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY VEHICLE NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION. WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO-LANE CURVED ROAD THE VEHICLE STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND NEAR COLLISION WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO STOP QUICKLY WHICH CAUSED A ROAD HAZARD FOR OTHER VEHICLES COMING AROUND A TIGHT TURN BEHIND ME. ONCE RESTARTED, I CONTINUED ON SAME ROAD AND VEHICLE DIED AGAIN IN A TURN ON SAME ROAD CAUSING THE STEERING TO GO OUT AGAIN WHICH LEAD TO VEERING OFF THE ROAD AND WITH THE POTENTIAL OF FALLING DOWN A 30 FOOT UN-GUARDED DECLINE. VEHICLE WILL STALL AND SURGE WHILE IN IDLE AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS ISSUE RELIABLY ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I WELCOME ANY SKEPTICS FROM CHRYSLER OR OTHER INVESTIGATIVE AUTHORITIES TO CONTACT ME SO THAT I MAY DEMONSTRATE THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE IF NECESSARY. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!! *TR

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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

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

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

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

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON THE NJTP AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF PASSING ANOTHER CAR WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL OR DISENGAGED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE ACCELERATED, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER TRANSFERRED TO THE ROAD. I HAD TO PULL INTO THE BREAK DOWN LANE AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE WITH THE HOPE THAT THE ELECTRONIC MODULE WOULD RESET ITSELF SO THAT I COULD ENGAGE DRIVE GEAR. THE PROCEDURE WORKED, BUT NOW THE TRANSMISSION READILY DISENGAGES FROM DRIVE WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE THROTTLE APPLICATION.

I PURCHASED THIS 2006 CHRYSLER 300C IN DECEMBER 2010. I GOT A CARFAX REPORT AND THERE WASN'T ANY PROBLEMS REPORTED ON IT. WELL JUNE 2011 THE SHIFT GEARS GOT STUCK IN PARK AND I COULDN'T SHIFT IT DOWN. SO MY HUSBAND SPRAYED SOME WD40 ON THE SHIFT GEARS AND SHOOK THE SHIFTER AND PUSH THE PINK THINGY THING IN AND IT THEN IT SHIFTED DOWN INTO DRIVE. THEN IN SEPTEMBER 2011 THE SHIFT GEARS GOT STUCK AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE SHIFTER WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO PARK. I WAS FRUSTRATED SO I LOOK ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SHIFT GEARS ON THESE CARS AND IT WAS OVER 100 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SHIFT GEARS GETTIN STUCK. SO I CALLED CHRYSLER AND INFORM THEM ABOUT THIS MATTER. THEY DID HAVE IT FIX BY A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BUT I HOPE THAT I DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT CHRYSLER 300 HAD A SHIFT GEAR MECHANISM DEFECT I WOULDN'T OF NEVER BOUGHT THIS CAR... *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. I DROVE IT TO WORK THAT MORNING WITH NO PROBLEMS AND PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT, WHEN I CAME OUT TO LEAVE AFTER WORK, IT STARTED FINE, AND AS I STARTED TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE, THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE. I TRIED MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL, SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND ON, AND HAD SOMEONE TO ROCK THE VEHICLE WITH NO RESPONSE. I CALLED A FRIEND AND HE CAME OVER TO HELP ME, AND COULD NOT GET IT TO MOVE EITHER. WE WENT BACK TO HIS SHOP AND GOOGLED IT AND FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 300'S, AVENGERS, AND ONE OTHER MODEL I CANT REMEMBER. ALL YOU HAVE TO TYPE IN IS CHRYSLER 300 STUCK IN PARK, AND YOU GET ALOT OF REPLIES. HE READ HOW THEY HAD TAKEN THE CONSOLE APART AND MOVED A RELEASE LEVER. WE TRIED THAT AND IT DIDN'T WORK. WE THEN HAD TO USE A SCREWDRIVER AND MOVE A PINK THINGY TO GET IT TO RELEASE. I AM ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, BUT I CANNOT USE P (PARK) BECAUSE IT LOCKS AGAIN. I AM USING NEUTRAL AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING AWAY. I TALKED WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID SOME MODELS HAD BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT UNLESS THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BEFORE. MINE IS THE SHIFTER FROM THE FACTORY AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER IS FAULTY. A BROKEN INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK WILL RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE ?PARK? POSITION. CHRYSLER ISSUED LETTER TO SOME CUSTOMERS. HERE THE LINK TO THE LETTER : HTTP://WWW.CHRYSLER.COM/WEBSELFSERVICE/PDF/K39.PDF PROBLEM IS THEY ISSUED A RECOMMEND FREE REPAIRS TO SOME OWNERS THAT MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM FOR THERE 2006 300C CAR BUT WHY CANT THEY OFFER FREE REPAIRS TO EVERYONE WITH SAME MODEL CARS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO WHEN YOU GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BUY THE PART TO REPAIR, YOU ARE PUT ON A WAITING LIST BECAUSE THE PARTS NOT IN STOCK BECAUSE OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO GET THERE CARS WORK ON. MY CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT AND WAS STUCK IN PARK 2 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK THAT CAN TOW MY CAR HOME. THE DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEE ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, ALSO THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE COVERED FOR REPAIRS AND OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL WITH DAMAGES ARE NOT COVERED JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. *TR

NO EVENT LEADS UP TO THIS EVENT. THE SHIFTER FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS HAS A PLASTIC PART IN 2005-2007 (AND MAYBE MORE) THAT IS POORLY MADE AND BREAKS. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB. THIS HAPPENED TO MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300. CHRYSLER'S SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFT MECHANISM THAT INCLUDES THE SAME POORLY MANUFACTURED PLASTIC PART. *TR

THE COST OF THE TOW AND THE REPAIR WAS ABOUT 500 DOLLARS. I JUST LOOKED ON LINE AND SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. SEEMS TO ME THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE IT OUT OF METAL AND FIX A 40K CARS. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 STUCK IN PARK IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT. WAITED 2 HRS FOR A TOW TRUCK IN THE HOT AZ HEAT. TRUCK DRIVER SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER AND WHAT HE GETS THE MOST CALLS FOR. DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I WAS THE 3RD CAR THAT DAY COMING INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CASHIER STATED IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AND CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL. IT IS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT BREAKS ON THE GEARSHIFT. IT WAS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. THEY LEAD ME TO BELIEVE IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THE CARS AND FIX WITH A DURABLE PART AT THEIR EXPENSE. IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO KNOW IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN SINCE I DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO SAN DIEGO AND DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. *TR

MY 300C SEEMED TO STICK SOMETIMES, BUT WITH A NICE PULL IT WOULD ENGAGE, UNTIL YESTERDAY. I'M GLAD I WAS HOME, MY GEARS STUCK IN PARK AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NOW. I HOPE THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300 SRT8. TRANSMISSION LOCKS IN PARK. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL FORUMS REGARDING THIS TYPE OF COMPLAINT. A PART MADE OF PLASTIC COMMONLY BREAKS COSTING A LARGE REPAIR BILL. THE PART IS NOT A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM. I BELIEVE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL WHERE THEY REFER TO IT AS A "PAWL." IT MAY ALSO NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, BUT I'M NOT HAVING THAT PROBLEM. *TR
