EQUIPMENT, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. FROM THE FIRST WEEK THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR(2/10/2013) USED WITH 71,000 MILES THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUES I EXPERIENCED WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR BY SHIFTING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN EVEN WHEN I WAS NOT ACCELERATING, THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHENEVER I WOULD GO OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE PROBLEM ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY INSIDE MY TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT ISSUE I EXPERIENCED WAS A SHIFTING IN THE FRONT END WHENEVER I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP OR POT HOLE IN THE ROAD, I FOUND OUT THAT THE STRUT, BALL JOINT, AND THE ROCKER ARM HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY FRONT END. THEN THE DIALS ON MY DASH STARTED TO GO CRAZY PERIODICALLY FOR NO REASON AT ALL, I HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS IS BUT I ASSUME IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER. I ALSO EXPERIENCED COMPLETE FAILURE OF MY COOLING SYSTEM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIER, CONDENSER, EXPANSION VALVE, AND ONE OTHER PART THAT I CANNOT REMEMBER. THE TOTAL FOR THIS JOB WAS ABOUT 2,700 AND THE TRANSMISSION WORK WAS 3,750 AND THE WORK ON THE FRONT END WAS A TOTAL OF ABOUT 800.00 NOT TO MENTION THE BRAKES I'VE REPLACED AND THE NEW SET OF TIRES I BOUGHT FOR THE CAR AND I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 1 YEAR AND 7 MONTHS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. ONE NIGHT WHILE SLOWING DOWN FROM 70 MPH TO 55 MPH VEHICLE HESITATED BUT DID NOT STALL, CHECK ENGINGE LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF. NEXT MORNING VEHICLE STALLED WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN, RESTARTED AND THEN STALLED AGAIN AFTER LESS THEN TWO BLOCKS. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, VEHICLE DROVE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN STALLED AGAIN. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND TELL THEM ABOUT X-53 WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP CHECKED VEHICLE AND STATED IT WAS INFACT THE FUEL TANK AND WOULD ORDER THE REPLACEMENT. TOLD ME I WAS IN LINE TO RECEVIE A REPLACEMENT BUT THEY ONLY RECEIVE ONE REPLACMENT FUEL TANK EVERY 14 BUSINESS DAYS. CAR WAS DRIVING FINE FOR 2 WEEKS NOW IT'S STALLING AGAIN, DOES NOT MATTER AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK CAR STALLS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP. CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYWAY THE SHIPPING/ORDERING OF TANKS COULD BE INCREASED AND THIS TIME THEY TELL ME MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET IF I WANTED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. CAN THIS CASE BE RE-OPENED TO LOOK AT ALL CHRYSLER 19 GALLON FUEL TANKS NOT JUST THE ONES ON THE X53 EXTENED WARRANTY LISTING. THANKS *TR
