2006 Chrysler 300 Complaint Log

AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30PM I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE (CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 MODEL) TO DRIVE HOME. I PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION, STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THEN PROCEEDED TO CHANGE GEARS FROM PARK TO REVERSE. MY GEAR SHIFT WAS LOCKED/STUCK IN PARK. IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. I THEN TURNED MY CARE OFF AND PROCEEDED TO TRY AGAIN. I THEN STARTED UP MY VEHICLE (CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 MODEL) AND THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STILL STUCK IN PARK. I THEN PROCEEDED TO GOOGLE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY CHRYSLER 300 AND THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS ON THIS SITE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. ON THIS SITE OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS STRESS THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN. IT COSTS $490 TO GET IT FIXED PLUS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IT WILL COST YOU TO GET YOUR VEHICLE CHRYSLER 300 TOWED. THE OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS ALSO STRESS THAT THEY'VE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH 2005, 2006, AND 2007 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING MODELS. I THEN PROCEEDED TO MAKE SEVERAL CALLS TO HANDLE MY PROBLEM AS FAR AS TOWING ECT... ALL I GOT WAS THE RUN AROUND AND I STRESSED THE ISSUE AS FAR AS THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BEING RECALLED AND IT HADN'T BEEN. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I WOULD OF NEVER BOUGHT THE CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 MODEL. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE TO COME OUT OF THEIR POCKETS FOR A DEFAULT THAT THE COMPANY MADE ON A VEHICLE. THIS MODEL NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST. IT IS NOW 4:03PM AND MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN ARE STILL WAITING FOR MY CAR TO BE TOWED. ## VIN PASSED ## CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 ##

I DROVE TO THE GAS STATION, AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING AROUND THE CORNER THE CAR STALLED. I WAS GOING AROUND 20 MILES PER HOUR. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR BACK ON AFTER A FEW TIMES AND IT JUST WOULDN'T START. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I MANAGED TO START THE CAR BACK ON AND I DROVE IN A NEAR BY SHOPPING CENTER. AS I PULLED UP THE CAR STALLED ONCE AGAIN. I DECIDED TO WAIT ABOUT TEN MORE MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND IT FAILED TO START. I WAITED AN ADDITIONAL 20 MINUTES AND FINALLY IT STARTED WITH A LITTLE HESITATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES NOW. *TR

STICK SHIFT WILL NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V46000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBER: 05V460000 (POWER TRAIN) AND CALLED THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,600.

THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WITH A RED LIGHT AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS VALVE SEAT FAILURE WITH NO COMPRESSION IN ONE CYLINDER, OF WHICH I HAVE FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. THEY AND SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS SUGGESTED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GO FORWARD WAS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENGINE. AT 7 YEARS OLD THE CAR IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL, BUT THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. WHILE GM IS RECALLING CARS FOR STALLING, THEIR CAUSE WAS MUCH MORE MINOR AND THEY FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED IT - CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND I CONSTANTLY HEAR FROM THE DEALER ABOUT HOW THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING BEFORE WHEN EVEN THEIR MECHANICS ACKNOWLEDGE IT HAPPENS A LOT. *TR

EVERYTIME THE CAR WAS FILLED UP, IT STALLS A FEW TIMES. THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING A LOT DURING THIS PST YEAR AND STILL CURRENTLY HAPPENS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WHEN THE CAR STALLED, OTHERWISE IT WILL CREATE ACCIDENT. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE CROWDED TRAFFIC. AFTER IT STALLS COUPLE TIMES, THE ENGINE GOT CLOGGED AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO START(THIS WAS THE SAME TIME-DAME DAY AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK). I BROUGHT IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING SINCE AT THE TIME HE GOT THE CAR TO CHECK, IT DOESN'T STALL. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ENGINE CUTS OUT EVERY TIME I COMPLETELY FILL MY GAS TANK. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST DETECTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. SINCE, I HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL WHEN RE-FUELING. SOMETIMES I STILL ENCOUNTER ENGINE SPUTTERING AND EVENTUAL LOSS OF POWER AND STEERING CONTROL. I TRY TO MITIGATE AND CONTROL THE SAFETY RISK AS BEST AS I CAN. I HAVE TO QUICKLY THROW THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND CRANK THE ENGINE TO RESTART SO I CAN AVOID BEING A SAFETY THREAT TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. ALSO THANKS TO CHRYSLER, MY WIFE REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE CAR WITH ME AS IT POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AT ANY SPEED ON ANY ROAD. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE IN A CAR BEFORE. THIS IS MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR I BOUGHT JAN 6, 2006 AT THE AGE OF 23. I REGRET MY DECISION EVER SINCE. I HAVE LOST A TON OF FAITH IN CHRSYLER PRODUCTS AND THE BRAND IT REPRESENTS. THE ONE THING CHRYSLER SHOULD DO, IS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND OFFER THE FIX AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

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

I WENT TO SHIFT MY VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND REALIZED THAT THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD NO LUCK. I WAS FORCED TO TAKE THE SHIFTER COVERS OFF AND MANUALLY PULL THE RELEASE CABLE IN ORDER TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT A DIAGNOSIS ALONE WOULD BE 135.00 DOLLARS. I DECIDED TO BRING THE CAR TO MY OWN MECHANIC AND HE DISCOVERED THAT THE SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. HE LOOKED UP A RECALL FOR 2005-2007 CHRYSLER AND TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN CANADA, IT DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE SAME EXACT PART USED ON THE U.S. ASSEMBLY LINES. CHRYSLER SAYS THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH BEING FAULTY BUT REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM POSTING TO ONLINE FORUMS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE! *TR

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

CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING. DIFFICULT TO RESTART AND LEAVES YOU IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE'VE HAD IT COMPLETELY STALL GOING 70 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE LIMPING TO THE SHOULDER. TOO DANGEROUS TO RE-MERGE AFTER CAR FINALLY RESTARTS BECAUSE IT WILL HESITATE AND MISFIRE OR STALL AGAIN. THIS WILL HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS WITH NO SYMPTOMS BETWEEN INCIDENTS. ALSO SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE IN HOTTER WEATHER. *TR

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

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

AGAIN THE 2006 5.7 L HEMI STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER FUELING. HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART, AND I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED VERY SCARY! *TR

AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C IT WOULD SHUT OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS REFUELED. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STALLING IN THE INTERSECTION. *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

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

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. IM INCLUDING A URL LINK TO ONE OF THE BLOG OF 10+ PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS WHO ARE LOST, CONFUSED AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. 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.

I WAS IN PARKING STALL AND THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT SHIFT TO REVERSE SO WE HAD TO TOW HOME. AUTO CLUB WHO ASSISTED TOW SAID THEY SEE A LOT OF THE CHRYSLER 300S. WE DID HAVE REPAIRED. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SHIFTER NOW.

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

ALL EQUIPMENT ON THE DASHBOARD SHUT DOWN FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I WAS GOING SOMEWHERE AROUND 55 MPH, AND TRYING TO STAY WITH TRAFFIC, I COULD NOT TELL MY SPEED, THE RPM READ ZERO, THE GAS LEVEL READ EMPTY, AND MY SPEED READ ZERO. THEN ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND ALL WAS NORMAL AGAIN. THIS REPEATED MAYBE 4-5 TIMES IN A ROW. OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES, ON FOR MAYBE A MINUTE, THEN BACK OFF. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL OF THIS HAPPENING MOMENTARILY (MAYBE LASTING A SECOND) SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET IT TO HAPPEN FOR THEM, SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR IT. THIS ISSUE HAS NOW ESCALATED TO A POINT THAT I FEEL IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT CONTINUES, OR GETS WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

ON 5/22/2013 I WENT TO THE STORE, AND WHEN I CAME OUT I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME. IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK. WHICH HAS BEEN IN A RECALL THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE MY VIN. THE DEALERSHIP STATES IT WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE FOR A NEW GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY, WHICH COULD COST UPWARDS OF $400. THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO A CUSTOMER REP FOR CHRYSLER STATES THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM,BUT ONLY SOME VEHICLES ARE COVERED IN A RECALL, BUT AS I STATED, MY CHRYSLER 300'S VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IS RECALL #K39. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE SHIFTER INSTALLATION KIT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70, 313. *TR

ENGINE STALLED FOR FIRST TIME LESS THAN 2 MILES AFTER FILL UP AT 25 MPH ON CITY STREET. IMMEDIATELY LOSS POWER ASSIST OF BOTH STEERING AND BRAKES. CAR WEIGHTS 4040 LBS AND I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AND GETTING THE CAR STOPPED. CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. 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

WHEN I WOULD FILL UP WITH GAS MY CAR WOULD STALL AND SHUT OFF AS I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO STOP OR SLOW TO MAKE A TURN. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ON MAY 15, 2013 ABOUT MY CAR. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND I DID BUT THEY SAY WITHOUT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR 4 TO 5 DAYS AND BREAK IT DOWN. THEN I READ IN THE PAPER THAT YOU HAS CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION INTO ENGINE STALLING IN SOME 2006 CHRYSLER CARS AFTER THE COMPANY EXTENDED THE FUEL WARRANTY. NO ONE CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY (THEY SHOULD HAVE AFTER I CONTACTED THEM OF THE PROBLEM). I EMAILED THEM AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM WAS AND PROBABLY IS ON A LOT OF 2006 CHRYSLER AND BECAUSE THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ANYONE OF THE PROBLEM WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BILL. I HAD BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CAR FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS BEFORE I CONTACTED THEM. I WOULD FILL UP WITH GAS AND START HOME AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO STOP MY CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND NO ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. GOT IT STARTED AND CAME TO THE NEXT LIGHT AND STARTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AND ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING. GOT IT STARTED IN TIME AND GOING INTO THE GARAGE OF MY HOUSE AND IT STOPPED AGAIN. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS I WAS USING BUT, NO MATTER IF IT WAS EXXON, CITGO OR BP IT ALL WAS THE SAME. STALLING AND CUTTING OFF WERE A REGULAR OCCURRENCE. I DIDN'T GET TO GO ON VACATION LAST SUMMER BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. IT WAS A NIGHT MARE. I THINK CHRYSLER DID ME WRONG IN NOT CONTACTING ME ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AFTER I HAD CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS DROVE TO STOP LIGHT AND CAR STALLED. HAD HARD TIME STARTING. TOOK TO PENSACOLA CHRYSLER AND THE MECHANIC SAID WE NEEDED A NEW GAS TANK . 2100$'S. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, A LOUD UNUSUAL NOISE EMITTED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE CAMSHAFT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

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

AFTER RE-FUELING, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES MULTIPLE STALL CONDITIONS WHILE ON THE ROAD. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CAN OCCUR BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS MORE FREQUENTLY OCCURS WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK TO THE POINT THAT THE AUTO SHUT OFF ON THE GAS NOZZLE IS TRIPPED. THE CAR GIVES NO WARNING THAT ITS ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE AN ISSUE UNTIL THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF, MOST LIKELY WHILE YOU'RE ALREADY ON THE ROAD. RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY TO COMBAT THIS PROBLEM IS TO NOT FILL UP THE CAR MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE TANK. THIS METHOD KEEPS THE DRIVER GUESSING AS TO HOW MUCH GAS SHOULD BE PUMPED, AND CAUSES MORE FREQUENT FILL UPS AS YOU'RE NOT USING 1/4 OF THE GAS TANK CAPACITY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, AND ITS ONE THAT SHOULD BE COMMUNICATED TO ALL 300C OWNERS IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C, WHICH IS THE MOTOR TREND CAR FOR THAT YEAR. I REALLY ENJOY THE SPACIOUS ROOM AND POWER OF THIS CAR AND WAS HAPPY TO GET IT BACK IN THE SPRING OF 2005, DIRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY. I HAD BEEN ENJOYING MY CAR UNTIL THE CAR STARTING STALLING. MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT AFTER I FILLED THE GAS TANK. IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE GAS TANK TO BE REPLACED EVERY SINCE I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL LAST YEAR. TO DATE, THE TANK HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT AND STALLING IN TRAFFIC. THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A COUPLE OF DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA WITHOUT ANY HELP FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED WORKING AS COMING OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER FILLING UP. STEERING WENT HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK, WARNING LIGHT (LUBE OIL CAN) CAME UP. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN, ENGINE STARTED BUT KEPT STALLING. JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN MOVING SLOWLY 0 TO 20 MPH , THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO STALL DURING DECELERATION OR WHEN STOPPED FOR THE NEXT 3 MILES. STALLING OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WILL STALL 2-3 TIMES IN A 5 MINUTE PERIOD. THE VEHICLE PERFORMS CORRECTLY ONCE YOU GET PAST THIS STAGE. MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES - ALL AFTER FILLING TANK. *TR

I HAD JUST REFUELED AT THE QUICK TRIP LEFT THE STATION AND WITHIN ONE MILE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE CUTTING OFF AND ON. THE TACHOMETER WOULD SHOW THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING FROM 2000 RPM'S TO 1000 THIS HAPPENED MAYBE 5 TIMES IN A ONE MINUTE SPAN AND THEN QUIT. *TR

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

ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHILE EITHER IDLING OR DRIVING. STALLS ARE INCREASINGLY MORE FREQUENT. UNABLE TO GET A DIAGNOSIS OF PROBLEM. HAVE REPLACED THE PCM BUT NO CHANGE IN PROBLEM OCCURRENCE. *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

VEHICLE STALLED 3 TIMES AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. VERY CLOSE TO A MULTIPLE CAR PILE UP BEHIND ME. TANK WAS NOT TOPPED OFF AND NEVER HAS. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM YET REFUSES TO HELP THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. THE GAS TANK IS FAULTY, CAUSING RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE EVAP SYSTEM. *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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 121,000.

THE CAR CHIME WILL CHIME, THE ENGINE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL, LOSING POWER FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS, THEN IT'S FINE. I RECEIVED A SORT OF RECALL FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN RAYNHAM, MA., THE FIRST WEEK OF FEB., 2015. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 2 WEEKS FOR THE PART. IT HAS NOW BEEN 9 WEEKS, AND I'M TOLD THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR 5 ORDERS ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL OUT, WHILE DRIVING IN 35 MPH TRAFFIC, VERY DANGEROUS! IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO ME THAT CHRYSLER IS TAKING THE LETTER I RECEIVED STATING THEY CAME TO AGREEMENT WITH NHTSA TO SERIOUSLY!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER SHE ADDED FUEL TO THE VEHICLE IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT. THE CAR JUST STALLED. I RESTARTED WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. IT WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAS PROBABLY HAPPENED ABOUT 7 TIMES MORE SINCE THEN, EVERY TIME WHILE I WAS IDLING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. EACH TIME IT RESTARTED ON THE FIRST TRY. HOWEVER FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN DRIVE GOING ABOUT 15 MPH. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED AND ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS, THE ENGINE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,430.

STALLING OCCURS AT LOW SPEED AND AT STOPS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OCCURRED MAY TWICE WITH THE STALLING, SO THEREFORE MECHANICS AREN'T DETECTING THE PROBLEM THROUGH DIAGNOSTICS TEST. I'VE HAD 3 DIAGNOSTICS TEST RAN THUS FAR. I WAS TOLD COULD BE DUE TO SOMETHING DEALING WITH THE FUEL PARTS-I'M NOT TECHNICALLY INCLINED IN CAR TERMINOLOGY. PLEASE HELP. I PROVIDED A GUESTIMATE OF THE FIRST INITIAL OCCURRENCE. THANKS *TR
