ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. IT WAS HARD TO RESTART, BUT FINALLY RESTARTED. WHEN PULLING OUT FROMT THE FUELING STATION, THE CAR BEGAN TO BUCK AND JERK INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, IT STALLED AGAIN. I RESTARTED THE CAR. WHEN I PROCEEDED WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR AGAIN STALLED. THIS OCCURED FOR THE NEXT 5-6 MILES, THEN STOPPED OCCURRING. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I REFILLED THE FUEL TANK. SINCE OOA 15 DECEMBER 2011, I CANNOT FILL MY FUEL TANK AND HAVE TO STOP IT BEFORE THE NOZZLE SHUTS IF OFF. IF I INADVERTENLY LET IT FILL UNTIL THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF (DOESN'T MATTER THE FUELING PUMP/STATION), IT WILL BUCK AND STALL FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MILES UNTIL SOME OF THE FUEL IS BURNED OFF IN THE TANK. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO DISASSEMBLE THE GEAR LEVER BOX IN ORDER TO MANUALLY DEPRESS THE MECHANISM THAT MOVES THE SHIFTER. MY VEHICLE HAS SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR ONE YEAR NOT BEING DRIVEN. MY COMPLAINT IS THE PART THAT BROKE IS A CHEAP PIECE OF PINK PLASTIC THAT CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED FOR SOME VEHICLES, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. CHRYSLER SHOULD INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES THAT HAD THIS INSTALLED, NOT SOME OF THEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
FLOOR GEAR SHIFTER WILL NOT MOVE FROM PARK POSITION. CHRYSLER SAYS MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SO THEY WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE REPAIR COSTS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER CAN SAY SOME OF THE VEHICLES WITH FAULTY PART WILL BE COVERED BY RECALL AND OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WILL NOT BE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON MORE THAT ONE OCCASION MY KNEE ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED THE IGNITION KEY AND TURNED THE CAR WHILE MOVING I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR WITHOUT INCIDENTS. I CONTACT CHRYSLER TWICE REGARDING THIS MATTER TO GIVE THE A HEADS UP BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM ABOUT RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2006. *TR

POWER TRAIN
TRIED TO LEAVE WORK AND GEAR SHIFT STUCK IN PARK. GOT A RIDE HOME AND GOOGLED FINDING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS. FOUND K39 RECALL AND CALLED THE RECALL CENTER. THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND I ASKED WHY? IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL COVERED UNDER K39. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. WHAT A CROCK! NOT BUYING A CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN
JUST PURCHASED USED CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AWD SEDAN WITH 56,414 MILES ON IT AND BY THE TIME I GOT IT HOME (AN HOUR DRIVE AWAY I NOTICED BINDING IN THE FRONT WHEELS WHEN I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WHEN I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY TO ENTER THE ROAD. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (REN KIRBY CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC) BUT THE DRIVE TRAIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY LIMITED 3 MONTH 3,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT THE PLANETARY GEARS IN TRANSFER CASE ARE BINDING IN FRONT WHEEL PORTION OF AWD DRIVE-TRAIN, IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT SERVICE THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND/OR FRONT AXLE SEPARATION RESULTING IN LOSS OF ONE OR BOTH FRONT WHEELS. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS IN EXCESS OF $1000.00 AND THAT IS ONLY IF IT IS JUST THE GEAR ISSUE! THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP AS I AM FINDING OUT ON SEVERAL VARIOUS AUTO BLOGS THAT THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING CAR WITH FUEL CAR STARTS BUCKING AND STALLS. RESTARTS AND BUCKS AND STALLS A FEW MORE TIMES THEN RUNS FINE UNTIL NEXT TIME WE FILL UP. WE CANNOT FILL THE FUEL TANK UP OR TAKE A SERIOUS CHANCE OF HAVING CAR STALL IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE ASKED CHRYSLER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR FIX FOR THIS AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANGER THAT HE WAS NOT AWARE. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I NEED FUEL TANK UNIT $1,158.00. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS AND ONLY FIX IS TO PAY FOR A NEW GAS TANK AS THIS IS ONLY FIX. CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS FOR NO CHARGE AS IT IS PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM. I'M TERRIFIED TO HAVE MY SON IN THE CAR THAT WE'LL BE HURT OR KILLED BY THIS FLAW IN THE FUEL TANK. I HOPE WE CAN GET SOME HELP TO GET THIS REPAIRED. THANKS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT, BUT INFO FOR OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS WITH THE FUEL FILL/STALLING PROBLEM. WE JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER, TELLING US THEY HAVE ISSUED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAD OUR 2006 300 FIXED IN 2 DAYS! THE FUEL TANK AND INTERNAL VALVES WERE REPLACED AFTER REMOVING THE EXHAUST AND DRIVELINE. THE JOB TOOK 5-6 HOURS AND WE WERE NOT CHARGED A CENT! THE CAR IS AGAIN RUNNING VERY WELL WITHOUT STALLING. THANK YOU, CHRYSLER! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE STALLED IN PUBLIC ROADWAY FOLLOWING FILLING GAS TANK. STRUGGLED TO GET ENGINE RESTARTED. KEPT DYING. MANAGED TO GET RPMS UP BUT COULD NOT ENGAGE TRANSMISSION. AFTER SOME DELAY TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAVELED WAY. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO REPEAT DYING AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PERFORM RESTART SEQUENCE. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MILES. AT FIRST, THOUGHT ENGINE WAS EXPERIENCING VAPOR LOCK. ALSO HAD THOUGHT I HAD PURCHASED A BAD TANK OF GAS AND MY FUEL FILTER WAS PLUGGED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND TOOK THE CAR INTO LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AT THAT TIME. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY AND CHARGED ME FOR A NEW ONE PLUS INSTALLATION. WHEN I RETURNED HOME THE NEXT DAY SOME 250 MILES AWAY I FOUND THE CAR ACTED UP AGAIN AFTER I FILLED IT UP WITH GAS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WHO INDICATED THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND BEING MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY ALL COST FOR INVESTIGATING TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND THE ACTUAL WORK TO MAKE THE REPAIR WOULD BE ON ME. THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY IDEA AS TO THE POSSIBLE TOTAL COST. I OPTED NOT GIVE THEM A BLANK CHECK AND DID NOT HAVE THEM DISMANTLE THE CAR. I FOUND THAT I CAN AVOID THE STALLING IF I DON'T FILL THE TANK FULL. A SAD SOLUTION TO A FAULTY FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND HAVE RELIGIOUSLY CARED FOR IT. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY DOCUMENTATION FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING OFFERING TO CORRECT THE FLOAT (WHICH NOW THEY HAVE CONCLUDED IS THE PROBLEM). TO SET A DEADLINE ON JANUARY 2014 WITHOUT NOTIFICATION OF THE OWNERS IS POOR BUSINESS. IF THAT IS THEIR POSITION THAN I WILL DO MY BEST TO DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM BUYING THEIR VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL BY NOTIFYING ALL THE OWNERS. I DO GET MAILERS FROM SEVERAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE ALL MY RECORDS!! SHAME ON YOU, CHRYSLER!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON TO THE FREEWAY THERE WAS A CLICK SOUND AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN HAD TO TAKE QUICK REACTION AS THIS IS THE ENTRY TO A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. MANAGED TO GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT WORKED THEN PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND MANAGED TO CRAWL HOME. THE GEARING IS NOT CHANGING THROUGH THE GEARS. THIS IS JUST AFTER A ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY BEING PUT INTO THIS VEHICLE TWO WEEKS AGO. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN ON A BUSY ROAD, TURNED OUT IT WAS THE REMOTE START WHICH WAS ON THE CAR WHEN FIRST PURCHASED. WHAT A NIGHTMARE THIS VEHICLE IS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND LEFT THE GAS STATION, WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP MY CAR SHUT OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, MY RPMS RAISED TREMENDOUSLY AND MY GEARS STARTED SHIFTING AUTOMATICALLY AND WHEN I CAME TO ANOTHER STOP MY CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. I ONLY BEEN HAVING THE CAR 3 WEEKS AND I NOTICED THAT IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER A FILL-UP FOR A FEW HOURS HERE AND THERE. ONCE MY GAS NEEDLE MOVES A LITTLE BIT BELOW FULL, THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY FINE! *JS

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR STALLING OUT OR BOGGING DOWN SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING AND MANY TIMES HAPPENING WITHIN LESS THAN A MILE OF REFUELING. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEMS (AND AM NOW BEING STUCK PAYING A $95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE), AND CALLING CHRYSLER DIRECTLY WHO IS UNWILL TO TRY TO ASSIST. IF THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016), I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T BEING ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *TR
