UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. IT SOMETIMES WILL EXHIBIT A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER FOLLOWED BY A CHIME AS IF ENGINE IS ABOUT TO STALL. TWO DEALERSHIPS AND TWO LOCAL MECHANICS HAVE PERFORMED A COMPLERE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC. ONE OF THEM RETRIEVED CODE P0700-RELATED TO LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH PCM. HE CLEARED THE CODES AND TEST DROVE IT AGAIN AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF OUR CAR WERE TO STALL ALL OF A SUDDEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO?

RECENTLY I STARTED MY CHRYSLER 300, TRIED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE, AND REALIZED IT WAS STUCK IN PARK. AFTER MUCH INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND A TEMPORARY RESOLUTION TO GET IT OUT OF PARK PROVIDED O ME VIA THE INTERNET. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A RECALL ON MY PART PROVIDED BY CHRYSLER, ON MY EXACT MODEL, MAKE, AND YEAR BUT FOR SOME REASON ITS VIN SPECIFIC. BOTTOM LINE IS MY PART IS BROKEN AND FALLS RIGHT IN LINE WITH THE OTHER 29,000 OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD THEIR GEAR SHIFTER RECALLED. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY SAID MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY. I STRONGLY DISAGREE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY BY CHRYSLER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP! *TR

OUR CHRYSLER 300C HAS STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 10 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO. ON FREEWAY AND CITY STREETS. IT USUALLY STARTS BACK UP ONCE YOUR STOPPED. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. NO ENGINE, NO PS AND NO BRAKES. NO CODE OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO WITH A 300 HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, NO MATTER WHAT THE YEAR OR ENGINE. LIKE MOST THERE IS NO SENSE TAKING IT TO DEALER. THEY JUST SAY NO CODE AND GIVE YOU SOME BS STORY ABOUT WHAT CAUSED IT. NO COME UP WITH A FIX. CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND WON'T MAN UP AND FIX IT. THEY WOULD RATHER SOMEONE DIE FIRST TO SAVE MONEY. IT HAS TO BE IN THE COMPUTER. JUST LIKE TOYOTA AND THEIR FLY BY WIRE THROTTLE THAT WAS CAUSING ALL THE CRASHES. WHAT IS THE PUBLIC SUPPOSE TO DO IF THEY WON'T STEP UP. *TR
