2006 Chrysler 300 Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS EVERY TIME I FILLED MY GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED. I WOULD START IT AND IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED GETTING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR DEAD STOPPED ALSO AT INTERSECTIONS. EVERY TIME I STOPPED THE CAR AT A LIGHT AFTER FILL UP CAR WOULD STOP. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AS I FEARED I WOULD BE KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER JAN 14, 2014. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, EVAP CANASTER AND VENT VALVE AT A COST OF $1740.22. I ASKED IF THIS CONDITION WAS UNDER WARRENTY THEY SAID NO. I UNDERSTAND THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED ON THE FUEL TANKS AS PER PE 13-016. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRENTY. CHRYSLER IS NOT HONORING THEIR OBLIGATION TO REPAIR THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I WANT TO BE SURE MY VIN# IS INCLUDED IN THIS WARRENTY AS I WILL SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE CAR STALLED WHEN EXITING THE GAS STATION IN FRONT OF ONCOMING VEHICLES. WE WERE NEARLY REAR ENDED. THE CAR AGAIN STALLED AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT, THEN AGAIN WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. WE HAD A FULL TUNE UP PERFORMED ON THE CAR THINKING THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE, HOWEVER THE CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER A FILL UP. WE ARE NOW FORCED TO LIMIT REFUELING THE CAR TO ONLY ONE HALF TANK TO BE SURE THAT THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STALLING DOES NOT OCCUR PUTTING OUR FAMILY IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THE STALLING OCCURRED AGAIN JUST THIS WEEK AFTER ACCIDENTALLY ALLOWING THE FUEL PUMP TO CLICK OFF PRODUCING A FULL GAS TANK. EVEN KNOWING THAT WE WERE NOW IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WE WERE FORCED TO DRIVE THE CAR ON PUBLIC STREETS WHERE ONCE AGAIN IT STALLED EXITING THE GAS STATION, AT THE STOP LIGHT AND SHORTLY AFTER TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP LIGHT LEAVING OUR FAMILY STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. *TR

A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AFTER FILLING MY CAR UP WITH GAS I WENT TO GET IN LINE AT CAR WASH CAR DIED .. STARTED UP AFTER 4-5 TRIES DROVE HOME RAN FINE. TODAY I FILLED UP AGAIN TOOK OFF WENT TO GET ON FREEWAY MERGED ONTO TRAFFIC CAR DIED AGAIN!! I COASTED ONTO SHOULDER, THANK GOD I DIDN'T GET HIT.. HAD MY TWO MINOR CHILDREN IN CAR.. AFTER 3 TRIES CAR STARTED AGAIN, WENT STRAIGHT HOME.. SCARED TO DRIVE ANYMORE.. TAKING TO DEALER TO BE CHECKED TOMORROW.. HOPE THIS ISSUE GETS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED!! *TR

I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR! THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS, RIGHT AFTER I FUEL UP, I LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN/OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON, THE ENGINE STALLS, I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER, AND MY CAR IS "DEAD IN THE WATER". IT IS REALLY FRIGHTENING! IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, AND TWO MORE TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING, BUT EACH TIME IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER GETTING GAS. LUCKILY, THESE MULTIPLE STALLING INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR DYING WHILE I AM ON THE FREEWAY, AS IT WOULD SURELY END UP IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. IF OTHER OWNERS OF A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THROUGH RECALLING THESE VEHICLES FOR REPAIR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

RIGHT AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM A FILLING STATION THE CAR STALLED, IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED,DROVE OUT ON THE STREET AND STALLED AGAIN BEFORE REACHING THE NEXT SIGNAL LIGHT. RESTARTED KEPT SLIGHTLY MORE PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR, AND WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE STOP OR SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO REACH HOME IT HAS DID THE SAME THING ABOUT A MONTH LATER. THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE SURE OF THE INCIDENT NOT OCCURRING AGAIN IS TO GUESS HOW MANY MILES I HAVE GONE BASED ON CARS? APPROXIMATE MILES PER GAL SINCE YOUR AGENCY HAS COMPLETED YOUR INQUIRY ( NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 ) AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS AGREED TO EXTEND THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY TO " LIFETIME ", HOW DO I OBTAIN AN AUTHORIZATION TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. I HAVE RECEIVED NO INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER AS OF THIS DATE ( 3/15/14 ). *TR

I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITED THE CAR. WHEN I RETURN TO ATTEMPT TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK I WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. AFTER RESEARCHING AND SPEAKING WITH MY LOCAL CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALERSHIP AND GETTING MY VEHICLE TAKEN TO THEM IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK BROKE. IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE SHIFTED OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ALREADY ISSUED MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED ALTHOUGH IT IS INCLUDED IN THE YEAR OF THE ISSUED RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHRYSLER RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON TO CONTACT NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR

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

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

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

HELLO ALL, I HAVE A CAR THAT HAS A KNOW PROBLEM (PE13-016) MY CAR IS NOW STALLING MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY WHETHER THE TANK IS FULL OR NOT. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND FEAR TAKING THEM INTO MY CAR AS I LOOSE POWER WHEN IT STALLS AT THE WORST TIMES... THE DEALER SAID THIS VIN ISN'T UNDER THE RE-CALL! VERY FRUSTRATED ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! BEST TO YOU ALL! PLEASE AND THANKS! *TR

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

OUR CAR IS CHRYSLER 300C AWD MODEL YEAR 2006. CURRENTLY CAR HAS ABOUT 46000 MILES. RECENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARRING ENGINE STOPS TO WORK. FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON DECEMBER 11, 2013 SHORTLY AFTER WE LEFT THE GAS STATION WERE WE FILL UP THE TANK. WE COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR AND TOWED THE CAR HOME PAYING FEE OF $75. NEXT DAY THE CAR STARTED AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON DECEMBER 27, 2013 WHILE DRIVING FOR FEW MILES RIGHT AFTER WE FILL UP THE TANK. THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT WARRING ON MAIN ROAD. LUCKILY, WE WERE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT AND WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DROVE TO SIDE LINE. THE CAR IS NOW IN OUR GARAGE BUT WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE FROM FEAR OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AS WE DEEM THE CAR UNRELIABLE. WE RESEARCHED ON THE WEB SIDES AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR MODEL AND CARS WITH SIMILAR ENGINE TRAIN HAVE IDENTICAL OR SIMILAR EXPERIENCES AND HAVE FILED FORMAL COMPLAINTS. *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

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

FOR THE 5TH TIME IN 12 MONTHS, MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C STALLED AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC WHO DID A TUNE UP, NEW SPARK PLUGS, AND EVEN REPLACED VALVE LIFTERS TO TRY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND SEE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO ME THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL, AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO STALL WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK WITH GAS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,010.

WHILE DRIVING I RECENTLY HEARD MY CAR MAKING A TICKING NOISE SO I DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN TO BE CHECKED & WHILE THERE HAVE MY VEHICLE GET AN EARLY OIL CHANGE. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS MAKING MY CAR TICK WELL TO MY SURPRISE I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY ENGINE & THAT WHILE THEY WERE DOING MY OIL CHANGE THEY SAW THAT MY OIL WAS GREYISH IN COLOR & IT ALSO HAD METAL SHAVINGS IN MY OIL...WHICH MEANS MY ENGINE IS BREAKING DOWN. THEY ADVISED ME TO NOT TO DRIVE HOME ON THE HIGHWAY BUT TO TAKE THE STREETS HOME. HOW COULD THIS BE? MY CAR IS ONLY SEVEN THAT'S RIGHT ONLY 7 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY AROUND 58,503 MILES ON IT (AND BY THE WAY I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW I'M THE ONLY OWNER) I NOW FIND OUT THAT CHRYSLER ONLY COVERS THEIR VEHICLES FOR 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES OR WHAT EVER COMES 1ST. *TR

I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME FROM ATLANTA AND I STOPPED TO FILL UP IN MACON. AS I DROVE UP THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO I-75 THE CAR STALLED LEAVING ME PARTIALLY ON THE HI-WAY. A SEMI NARROWLY AVOIDED REAR ENDING ME. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE AWAY. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS COMMON ON THIS TYPE OF CAR AND THE ONLY FIX IS A NEW GAS TANK, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. *TR

WHEN I COME TO A FULLL STOP , CAR WILL DIE. ALWAYS STARTS UP AGAIN THO. IT IS SCARY. HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300C STALLS AFTER FILL UP. CAR IS HARD TO START UP AFTER IT STALLS, IT WILL STALL A COUPLE TIMES AGAIN AND THAN IT WILL BE OK UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. CAN NOT GET MORE THAN 1/2 MILE GAS STATION. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM STARTED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, WENT TO DEALER, THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THEY RECOMMENDED TO CLEAN INJECTORS, DID THIS, IT DIDN'T HELP. LAST 3 FILL UP HAVE BEEN THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FILL-UP. WILL STALL EVEN WITHOUT TOPPING OFF TANK. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WILL STALL MULTIPLE TIMES AND BUCK WHILE DRIVING FOR A TIME. CAN NOT FILL UP TANK. *TR

DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN TWICE. FIRST, IT BROKE ON THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR. THE, TODAY, 05/06/14, IT BROKE ON THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR. THERE IS A SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT HAS APPEAR TO CRACK AND BREAK CAUSING THE DOOR HANDLE TO SEPARATE FROM THE DOOR. ONLINE FORUMS REPORT MANY USERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. DODGE HAS A DOOR HANDLE RECALL. CHRYSLER AND DODGE ARE THE SAME FAMILY. THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL ON THE DOOR HANDLE. *TR

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

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

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

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR, I WAS ENTERING THE MAIN ROAD FROM A SIDE STREET, WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO BUCK AND BOUNCE. IT EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND WHILE PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE BUCKING AND BOUNCING STARTED AGAIN. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF MYSELF. I WAITED APPROX. 3-5 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THIS STALLING/BUCKING HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

FILLED CAR AND IT STALLED OUT. AFTER RESTARTING AND DRIVING A LITTLE WHILE SEEMED FINE. RECENTLY 11/2/14 AND TODAY 11/11/14 AFTER FILLING GAS TANK SAME ISSUE TWO WEEKS IN A ROW. I SAW A LIFETIME EXTENSION OF WARRANTY COME A FEW MONTHS BACK. I JUST WANT TO GET IN LINE FOR RECALL. *TR

AFTER FUELING, FILLING UP, THE CAR WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES BOTH WHILE STOPPED AND WHILE MOVING SLOWLY (10-15MPH). IF YOU ARE MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 45-70MPH THE CAR WILL CUT OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND THEN RESUME. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 OR 4 TIMES SINCE NOV 2013. IT HAPPENS AFTER THE CARE IS REFUELED. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW AND IT ONLY STARTED THIS BEHAVIOR RECENTLY. *TR

MY CAR (300C AWD) STALLS AFTER FILL UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON A TRIP FROM CALIFORNIA TO GEORGIA. I WAS FILLING THE CAR THREE TIMES A DAY. MOVING FROM THE FUEL ISLAND TO THE INTERSTATE ON-RAMP THE CAR WILL DIE MAKING BRAKES AND STEERING LOSE POWER AS WELL. THE CAR WILL RESTART AND FUNCTION CORRECTLY UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP OR IT MAY STALL ONCE OR TWICE AGAIN. THE CONDITION DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN STOPPING WITH OUT FILLING. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART WHILE ROLLING BUT THIS COULD BE DIFFICULT IN WHITE KNUCKLE SITUATIONS. THERE IS ANOTHER CONDITION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED: SOME TIMES WHEN STARTING TO FILL UP, THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF DUE TO "SPLASH BACK" IN THE CAR'S FILLER TUBE. I CAN REMEDY THIS BY REPOSITIONING THE PUMP NOZZLE TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. ONCE STARTED, I CAN COMPLETE FILLING THE CAR. MY MECHANIC WAS AT A LOSS WITH SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR A CHRYSLER 300C STALLS. THIS IS NOW AN ONGOING PROBLEM AS THE CAR NOW STALLS AFTER FUELING. 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. I WAS TOLD THE MALFUNCTIONING SHUT-OFF FLOAT AND GAS TANK NECK SPLASH ISSUE IS NOT COVERED. *TR

THE BELOW ARE INSERTS FROM MY CONTACT AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION, AND THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH STALLING AFTER FILLING WITH MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 SRT8. THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE LISTED AND DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE BLOGS TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION?S ONLINE FORUM TO INDICATE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BY YOUR ORGANIZATION AND THE DEALERSHIPS WHO SERVICE OUR VEHICLES, AND IF YOU WANT TO REALLY WON'T TO ASSIST ME IN ENSURING THAT THIS MATTER IS CORRECTED YOU CAN INSTRUCT AND AUTHORIZE AIRPARK CHRYSLER JEEP TO RESOLVED MY PROBLEM WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY OR THE NEED TO CONTINUE WITH FURTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. AS I STATED ABOVE, THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND FALLS ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO RECTIFY WITHOUT ALL THE RUN-AROUND I AM RECEIVING AT THE MOMENT TO GET THIS ACCOMPLISHED. MY VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK INSTALLED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND YOU CAN ASSIST IN GETTING THIS DONE BY PROVIDING THAT REPLACEMENT AND CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP THAT NEEDS TO DO IT.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING; HOWEVER,THE RADIO AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS STAYED ON. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR UP IMMEDIATELY WITH NO HESITATION. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ON 11/18/2013 AND TWICE ON 11/20/2013. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE A PROBLEM ON ANY OF THE 3 OCCASIONS NOR HAVE ANY CODES BEEN PUT OUT. ON 11/21/2013, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY. PRIOR TO THESE 3 INCIDENCES, I HAD NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM NOR ANY MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, WHICH I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2005. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR AFTER REFUELING, MY TANK WAS HALF FULL WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED. THE REPAIR FACILITY HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 7 DAYS NOW AND THE CAR HAS STALLED ON THEM SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE FACILITY HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER TECHNICIANS AND HAS RESEARCHED THE TECHNICAL BULLETINS, WITH NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE REPAIR FACILITY DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE SOUNDED RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY EVEN THOUGH THE CAR DIDN'T KICK OUT ANY CODE SO THEY CHECKED THE THROTTLE BODY AND NOTED THAT ITS VOLTAGE WAS OUT OF THE SPECIFICATION RANGE SO THEY REPLACED IT AND UPDATED/RESET THE CAR'S COMPUTER, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS THE CAR HAS STALLED SINCE THEY'VE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

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

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

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

I WAS DRIVING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. THERE WAS LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I PUT THE GEAR IN PACK AND RESTARTED THE CAR WHICH IT DID SUCCESSFULLY BUT STALLED SOON AFTER AND AGAIN RESTARTED SUCCESSFULLY. THE CAR RAN PERFECTLY TILL I REFILLED THE TANK FOUR DAYS LATER AND HAD SIMILAR OCCURRENCE. IT HAPPENED ABOUT A WEEK LATER, AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER REFILL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED IT AND DETERMINED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED A FOURTH TIME ON 12/17/2013 AND IT WAS VERY WORRISOME AS I WAS ON THE RAMP TRYING TO MERGE INTO A HIGHWAY WHEN IT STALLED BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE SHOULDER. TODAY AGAIN AFTER REFILLING IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING FROM THE GAS STATION, AGAIN, AT LOW SPEED BUT LATER ON THE HIGHWAY, AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR IT STALLED, THE FIRST TIME IT IS STALLING AT SUCH HIGH SPEED. *TR

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

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR SHUT-OFF AND STARTED BACK UP ON IT'S OWN WHEN I WAS STARTING FROM A RED LIGHT. GOING UP THE NEXT HILL IT DID IT AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS IT WOULD DO THIS AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND DIFFERENT SPEEDS. AT TIMES IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP ON IT'S OWN I HAD TO TURN THE KEY. EVENTUALLY, IT STARTING SHUTTING OFF AT THE GARAGE I SENT IT TO WHILE BEING RUN ON MACHINES. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT REQUIRED A NEW COMPUTER BE PUT IN. I AM FILING THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE FOR THE 2007 MODEL OF THE SAME CAR THERE WAS A RECALL AND FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE COMPUTER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY AN CHRYSLER MAINTENANCE WORKER THAT THE REASON THE 2007 WAS COVERED WAS THAT THE SUB-CONTRACTOR FOR THAT YEAR WAS PARTICIPATING WITH CHRYSLER TO PAY FOR THE RECALL OR PAYING IT THEMSELVES. HOWEVER, THE SUB-CONTRACTOR FOR THE 2006 MODEL WAS NOT. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR END PRODUCT AND SHOULD PAY FOR MY NEW COMPUTER AND INSTALLATION. THIS WORK COST ME OVER $2,100 FOR A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT. MY MECHANIC WAS TOLD BY ONE CHRYSLER DEALER THAT THERE JUST HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH 2006 MODELS WITH THE 2007 ISSUE TO WARRANT A RECALL. THEY EVEN PROVIDED THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC TO INSTALL THE COMPUTER AND RESET IT FOR THE SHOP I HAD THE WORK PERFORMED. *TR

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

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

AFTER FILLING MY TANK MY CAR WOULDN'T START. CALLED MY HUSBAND WAITED FOR HIM APPROX 15 MINUTES AND CAR STARTED. AS I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND ACCELERATED THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3 LANE BUSY STREET. I COASTED WITH NO POWER TO THE RIGHT AND TURNED ON MY HAZARDS. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, PICKED IT UP NEXT DAY, SEEMED FINE. STARTED FILLING TANK TO 3/4, ACCIDENTALLY FILLED FULL 1X SINCE, SAME PROBLEM LAST NIGHT. CALLED 2 CHRYSLER DEALERS THIS MORNING (4/8/14) TO FIX PROBLEM. THEY SAID CHRYSLER IS WORKING ON FIX, NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SOOOOOOOOO DANGEROUS!!!!!! THIS IS WRONG, I HAVE LITTLE KIDS AND I AM SCARED TO DEATH CAR WILL DIE IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. *TR

THE NOISE STARTED OVER A FEW MONTHS TO NOW A GRADUAL LOUD METAL "TICKING" NOISE WHEN IDLING . I LOOKED UP VARIOUS SITES AND APPARENTLY THE ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLIES HAVE HAD A PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES OF THIS AGE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO REFUSED TO COMMUNICATE AND OR TAKE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I READ THAT THE ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLIES WERE FAULTY AT THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF THESE VEHICLES YET CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING, THERE IS APPARENTLY A NEW KIT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR.. THIS IS NOT A HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLE YET IT HAS THIS LOUD METALLIC TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE DROPPED IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 39,860. UPDATED 05/28/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAS TANK VALVE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. UPDATED 05/30/2014 *JS

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

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 ALREADY HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS MATTER. I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE FUEL TANKS AS A RECALL ON HIS VEHICLE ON FEB.10,2014 , PE13016. RECALL LETTERS TO BE SENT OUT STARTING JAN. 2014. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER. I CALLED CHRYSLER (1-800-247-9753) THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS RECALL. I QUESTIONED THIS AND THE OPERATOR (EMPLOYER #[XXX] HAD NO ANSWER. I HAVE A CASE # WITH THEM #[XXX]. AND ALTHOUGH THE NHTSA THINKS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM I BEG TO DIFFER. THIS CAR HAS STALLED AFTER REFUELING AT SPEEDS UP TO 55 MPH OR FASTER. THIS IS A $1500 OR MORE REPAIR I WAS TOLD & WOULD LIKE TO HAVE CHRYSLER TAKE CARE OF THIS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR STALLS OUT WHEN DRIVING FOR NO REASON NO WARNING SIGNS OR ANYTHING LOSS OF ALL POWER NO BRAKES WORKING OR STEERING WHEEL ALMOST CRASHED BRAKES GET HARD AND STEERING UNABLE TO USE. *TR

AFTER FILLING TANK, THE CAR STALLED ON EXIT FROM GAS STATION. THE CAR STALLED A FEW MILES LATER AFTER STOPPING AND THEN TRYING TO GO. FILLING THE TANK WITH GASOLINE HAS BECOME EXTREMELY SLOW SINCE THEN. 20 TO 30 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK. MOST RECENTLY ON 3/4/2014, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WHEN STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. THE STALLING AND SLOW FILL HAVE BEEN CONTINUING SINCE NOVEMBER 2013 AND HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY RECENTLY. THE NHSTA HAS A CASE NUMBER PE13016 WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY MY SITUATION AS A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK VALVE. IN THAT CASE, CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON GAS TANKS FOR 2006 CHRYSLER C CARS IN THE CASE FILE WRITE UP, BUT BOTH THE DEALER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTENCE OF THE CASE FINDINGS OR THE PROBLEM ITSELF. I AM HOPING THE NHTSA WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR FINDINGS AND SUPPORT THE COMPLETION OF MANUFACTURERS SOLUTION. RIGHT NOW CHRYSLER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE HONORING ITS SOLUTION. *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
