ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I TURNED MY IGNITION ON TO WARM MY VEHICLE BEFORE GETTING IN TO TRAVEL. I WARMED THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT TWENTY OF TWENTY FIVE MINUITES. I CAME OUT AND PUT SOME BELONGINGS INTO THE VEHICLE AND WENT BACK INSIDE OF MY OFFICE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES. WHEN I RETURNED TO GET INTO MY VEHICLE, IT HAD JUMP INTO REVERSE AND WAS GOING BACKWARDS INTO TRAFFIC. THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC DODGED THE VEHICLE BY GOING AROUND IT. IT FINALLY LANDED INTO A DITCH OF WATER. LOTS OF WATER DAMAGE, AND DAMAGE TO THE BODY. NO ONE WAS HURT, BECAUSE NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE. MAY VEHICLE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. I HAD NEVER HAD ANYNEED FOR MAJOR REPAIRS. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFAULT, MALFUNCTIONING AND DAMAGE DONE TO MY VEHICLE? I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN RECALL, THEREFORE THEY ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND FLASHED FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A WEEK, OR SOMETIMES 3X PER DAY. ONCE, ALL THE GAUGES WENT DEAD AS WELL. VERY DISTRACTING AND UNSETTLING WHILE DRIVING. MY WIFE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH HER CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN, AND SEARS SUGGESTED SHE REPLACE THE BATTERY. HER PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN SOLVED. MINE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. THE FRESNO CHRYSLER DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS DISCUSSED ON THE INTERNET. HERE ARE A FEW SITES: HTTP://WWW.300CFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/SRT8-SPECIFIC-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/25584-INDICATOR-WARNING-LIGHTS.HTML HTTP://WWW.300CFORUMZ.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=92854 HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/300C/2006/ELECTRICAL/FLASHING_WARNING_LIGHTS_LOSS_OF_ELECTRICAL_POWER.SHTML THEY SUGGEST REPLACING THE ENTIRE WIRING SYSTEM AND THE COMPUTER, AT A COST OF $4200.00. PLEASE CHECK AND SEE HOW MANY SIMILAR WIRING HARNESS FAILURES/REPLACEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE ON 300S AND IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED.THANK YOU *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C BOUGHT IT NEW AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL 2012 WHEN WE WERE TRAVELING FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND STOPPED TO REFUEL. AFTER FILLING THE TANK WE STARTED THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE, THE CAR STARTED BUCKING AND THEN WOULD SHUT OFF. IT DID THIS TWICE BEFORE IT STOPPED AND THEN DROVE FINE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. IT DID THE SAME THING ON OUR WAY HOME AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK BUT AFTER DOING IT SEVERAL TIMES IT DROVE FINE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. ONCE HOME THE CAR DROVE FINE UNTIL I FILLED IT UP WITH GAS AND THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. IT BUCKS AND THEN STALLS, SOMETIMES IT WILL START RIGHT AWAY AND OTHER TIMES I HAD TO LET IT SIT A WHILE. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHILE JUST DRIVING ALONG. THIS IS SCARY AS WELL AS DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES IT STOP ANYWHERE WHICH COULD CAUSE ANOTHER CAR TO HIT YOU, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND ON ONE OCCASION I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULDN'T STEER OUT OF THE WAY DURING A TURN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK GAVE ME INFO ABOUT CANNISTERS AND VAPORS AND NOT BEING SOMETHING THAT IS SERVICEABLE. OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE BUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS A DANGER ON THE ROAD COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE CAR STALLS WHEN AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR. IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND ON TURNING ON TO STREETS. TOOK THE CAR INTO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY INFORMED US THAT THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF BAD EVAP SOLENOID WHICH IS PERMANENTLY AFFIXED TO THE FUEL TANK. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AFTER FILLING UP BECAUSE OF THE CHANCE OF BEING REAR ENDED. *TR

MY EXTENDED WARRANTY NOR CHRYSLER WOULD COVER VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER AUTO SERVICE SHOP. THEY SAID I DIDN'T NEED A NEW MOTOR. THEY CLEAN OUT THE HEADS AND ENGINE AND SAID THAT IT WAS NOT MY FAULT THAT THE 2.7 LITER ENGINE CHRYSLER ENGINE HAD THESE PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE. I ALSO WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS OTHERS TOLD THE EXACT THINGS, THAT THEY WERE AT FAULT AND CHRYSLER WOULDN'T PAY. THE PROFESSIONAL TECH'S OF CHRYSLER ALSO ADVISE AGAINST BUYING THIS MODEL. ALSO LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND THERE WERE PEOPLE WITH 20,000 MILES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM TOLD THE SAME THING BY CHRYSLER. ALSO CHRYSLER DOES NOT OFFER THIS ENGINE SIZES IN THE NEW MODELS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE 2.7 LITERS. MY CAR WAS USED AT PURCHASE AND I AVERAGE ABOUT 10,000 MILES A YEAR. *TR
