CAR STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. WILL GO WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT THEN WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES WHEN STARTING. USING WHEN STALLING PROCESS STARTS IT WILL ALSO DIE UPON STOPPING. CAR ALSO WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET PAST 3RD GEAR. CAR WILL REDLINE AT ABOUT 45 MPH BUT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL SHIFT ROUGHLY AND TYPICALLY WHEN GAS IS LET UP IT WILL GO INTO NEXT GEAR. HAS BEEN DOING THESE THINGS OFF AND ON FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO AND WHEN I TELL THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ACTUAL PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, WHEN WE STARTED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR STALLED. IT WAS HARD TO START AGAIN AND IT STALLED A COUPLE MORE TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE THEN AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. IT IS HARDER TO START AND IT IS TAKING A LITTLE TIME TO GO INTO GEAR. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK LAST WEEK, IT WAS RAINING AND WHEN IT STALLED I ALMOST GOT HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THAT I CAN BRING IT IN AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED, BUT IF IT ISN'T DOING IT WHEN I BRING IT IN, THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE IS NOT AWARE OF ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS. *TR

AT ANY GIVEN SPEED THERE IS A "LOSS OF COMMUNICATION" AS IT IS DESCRIBED BY THE MANCARI'S OF OAK LAWN DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS HAVE IT SERVICED, BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE COMPUTER. THIS IS APPARENTLY A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE WEBSITE BELOW. I HAVE HAD THE TRANS SHIFTER REPLACED, AS WELL AS HAD THE CAR "RE-FLASHED" SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL, AND WITH NO APPARENT SOLUTION IN SITE. MANY ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE AT REACHING CHRSLYER - THE MANUFACTURER AS SUGGESTED, BUT THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO INTEREST IN DEALING WITH CUSTOMERS BEYOND THE SALE OF THE VEHICLE.I WONDER HOW MANY FATALITIES WILL HAVE TO ENSUE BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT I AM SURE ARE KNOWN ISSUES BY NOW, CONCERNING THEIR VEHICLES.

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 ##

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

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

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
WE PURCHASED THIS AUTO SHOWROOM NEW FROM THE DEALER IN 2006. ALTHOUGH BREAKING WAS QUESTIONABLE, WE ACCEPTED WHEN TOLD THE SYSTEM WAS FINE AND THE JERKING WAS NORMAL. HOWEVER, SINCE APRIL 2008 THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED OFF AND ON AT THE MOST UNSAFE TIMES. THE DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT. WE HAD A NEW FACTORY ENGINE INSTALLED ($7,000) IN 2012 AND GUESS WHAT? THIS NEW ENGINE HAS STARTED STALLING. ALL OUR WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED AT A DEALERSHIP SO CHRYSLER CAN'T CLAIM THAT AN AUTO SHOP MIGHT HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER VIEWING ALL THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND HAVING IT HAPPEN TO MY WIFE AND I, WHY HAVEN'T YOU OR CHRYSLER TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM? DOKKKKKKKKKKKK *TR
