ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PURCHASED A 2006 300C SRT8 IN 2014. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTER THE 1ST REFUELING THE CAR STALLED AND BUCKED AND THEN AFTER A FEW MILES CALMED DOWN. I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS BAD GAS. DURING THE 2ND REFUELING, WITH 93 OCTANE, AND JUST AS THE FUEL CLICKED OFF, THE ENGINE STALLED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN EITHER SITUATION. THE CAR WAS WORSE THAN THE LAST TIME. THE CAR STALLED AT EACH LIGHT ALL THE WAY HOME. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES AND THEN IT STALLED AGAIN AS I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER CONCERNING THIS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ONLY ORDERING 6 REPLACEMENT GAS TANKS A MONTH AND THAT 95% OF THE TIME AN ADDITIONAL FLEX PIPE OR TUBE BREAKS DURING THE REPAIR PROCEDURE AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ADDITIONAL COST. WHAT KIND OF A DEAL IS THAT? I THOUGHT WARRANTY WORK WAS TO BE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS OUT AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ALL THE LIGHTS WILL BRIEFLY FLASH ON IN THE DASH, IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND VIOLENT BUCKING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS NOT THE FULL FUEL TANK STALLING ISSUE. I ALREADY HAD THE TANK REPLACED. THIS HAPPENS AT WOT OR AT IDLE OR IN BETWEEN. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR ANYMORE. I STILL LOVE THIS CAR, BUT I'M CONSIDERING GOING ON A CRUSADE AGAINST CHRYSLER UNLESS THEY DO SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY TO FIX THIS. READ THE FORUMS - MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE 6.1L AND 5.7L ENGINES. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON THE FIRST OF JULY I WAS PREPARING FOR A TRIP AND STOP AT A GAS STATION TO FILL UP. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE GAS STATION MY CAR STALLED WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC, AND WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP SAFELY AND GET THE VEHICLE HOME, STALLING SEVERAL MORE TIMES. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I COULD DETERMINE WHAT HAD GONE WRONG AND I FOUND THAT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE GAS TANK ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT DUE TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE FED GOV AND CHRYSLER. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT CHRYSLER WAS GOING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTIES ON THIS GAS TANK TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ONES WITHOUT A RECALL. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY ORDERED THE PARTS AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS BEFORE A REPAIR COULD TAKE PLACE. TWO WEEKS LATER I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. I WROTE AN EMAIL TO CHRYSLER ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION AND I WAS TOLD THE FOLLOWING "ACCORDING TO OUR RECORDS YOUR VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE X53 19 GALLON FUEL TANK EXTENDED WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE X53 REPAIR ARE CURRENTLY ON A RESTRICTION WITH THE DEALERSHIPS HAVING ACCESS TO ORDER 1 PART EVERY 14 DAYS FOR THE ONE REPAIR AND 1 PART EVERY 7 DAYS FOR THE OTHER REPAIR. AT THIS TIME WE RECOMMEND CONTINUING TO WORK WITH YOUR DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED." I HAS NOW BEEN 4 WEEKS AND I STILL TO NOT HAVE THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED. THIS RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO ME AND I THINK FOR OTHER DRIVERS WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!! I ASK THE NHTSA RELOOK THIS ISSUE AN ADDRESS CHRYSLER TO EXPEDITE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE TANKS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND I WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED BY ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR STALLS AND BUCKS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM STOPPED, AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAS CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN LAKELAND, FL ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO AND THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WAS TO TELL ME TO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP. THAT IS NOT THE PROPER SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C IS BURNING A LOT OF GAS. I DON'T KNOW WHY,MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS A HEMI. WHEN MY GAS HAND GET TO A MARK ARE TWO BEFORE EMPTY, YOU CAN SMELL THE FUEL FROM THE TANK. MY COMPLAIN IS WHY ARE CHRYSLER 300 BURNING SO MUCH GAS? *TR

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
SINCE LAST MARCH MY CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 2006 IS TURNING OFF THE ENGINE WHILE IN MOVEMENT. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL OR AROUND 3/4. IT'S A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR MANY TIMES CONSIDERING THAT WHEN THE ENGINE TURNS OFF THE STEERING GETS HEAVY AND THE BRAKES DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. NOW I'M NOT CONFIDENT TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THE CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO HAVE A COLLISION AND HURT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I MADE A RESEARCH AT THE INTERNET AND I REALIZED THAT A LOT OF 300C OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IT'S CALLED AS ENGINE STALL. NOW I WANT CHRYSLER TO HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS MATTER CONSIDERING IT ALREADY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS DEFECTIVE. *TR

ENGINE
AFTER A FILL-UP (NOT TOPPED OFF) ON AUGUST 5, 2013 AS I MERGED ONTO THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE STALLED AND THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED BECAUSE MY GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK IN HIS CARSEAT AND IT WAS PEAK TRAFFIC TIME. ADDITIONALLY WITHOUT POWER I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME MANEUVERING THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY TO A SPOT WHERE THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY. AT THE FIRST OFF RAMP I PULLED OFF THE FWY BUT THE ENGINE KEPT STALLING WHENEVER I HAD TO SLOW DOWN OR AT A STOPLIGHT. THIS WAS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY GRANDSON AND ME. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER THE OUTCOME WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT MORNING I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A SERVICE REP AND WAS TOLD THAT HE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED IF CHRYSLER TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD NO'. FOR OVERALL SAFETY I HAD THE TANK REPLACED. ($1200.00) I ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP TO RELATE THE ENGINE STALL INCIDENT SO THAT THEY WOULD BE AWARE AND INVESTIGATE FOR SAFETYS SAKE. ESSENTIALLY I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I FIRST EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE STALL AFTER A FILL UP ON OCTOBER 12, 2012. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AND AFTER CHECKING THE CAR THE INVOICE STATED ROAD TEST VEHICLE, DID NOT DIE AT STOPS OR WHILE DRIVING, NO CODES IN PCM. TRANSMISSION FLUID, ENGINE OIL FULL. THERE WAS LIMITED DRIVING OF THE CAR. MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECENT EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER CAR OWNERS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ACCEPT FULL OWNERSHIP BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *JS

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. I STOPPED AT THE CONVENIENCE STORE BEFORE I WENT HOME, SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WENT IN, AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT WOULDN'T. EVENTUALLY I GOT IT STARTED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND REVVED THE ENGINE A LITTLE TO KEEP IT FROM SHUTTING BACK OFF, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE ROCKS WERE INSIDE THE ENGINE, THEN TURNED OFF AFTER MAYBE 3-4 SECONDS OF RUNNING. GOT IT TOWED TO A LOCAL CHAIN GARAGE. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY GOT IT RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WERE ROCKS INSIDE OF IT AND THAT ITS PROBABLY A BROKEN ROD, AND THAT COULD HAVE DAMAGED MUCH MORE INSIDE. NOW I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR. THE REPAIRS MIGHT END UP COSTING THE VALUE OF THE CAR, BUT SELLING IT WITHOUT AN ENGINE IS BASICALLY WORTHLESS. I HAVE NO BACKUP CAR TO DRIVE IN THE MEAN TIME, OR MONEY/CREDIT TO BUY A NEW ONE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A WELL MAINTAINED CAR WITH UNDER 100K MILES ON IT, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE COMPANY SHOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE.

IT TOOK 3 TRIES AND IT STARTED AGAIN THEN ON THE FREEWAY AS I WAS CHANGING LANES IT DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND I WAS SCARED TO DEATH FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FIANCE AND SMALL CHILD I COASTED TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE LANE BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET OVER EITHER WAY WITH CARS BEHIND ME HONKING I CALMLY TRIED TO START THE CAR AND ON THE 3RD TRY IT STARTED AND GOT US BACK TO MARTINEZ. IT DIED TWICE MORE AT STOP SIGNS AND A LIGHT. VERY DANGERIOUS. I BOUGHT THE CAR A WEEK AGO BECAUSE MY FIANC IS 6 MONTHS PREGNANT.

CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME 350 TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER BUT ITS ONLY A SMALL PART.

ENGINE STALLING AFTER FUELING. WE FIRST SUSPECTED BAD FUEL, BUT SOON LEARNED WE WERE NOT ALONE IN THIS ISSUE. WE WAITED YEARS FOR THE LOCAL DEALER TO FINALLY ADMIT TO A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE. CHRYSLER THEN ISSUED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE TANK. AS SOON AS THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE TANK WAS ISSUED WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND WAS TOLD WE WERE # 6 ON THE LIST WAITING ON TANKS THAT ARE ON BACK ORDER. I CHECKED STATUS THIS PAST WEEK AND THE DEALER SAID HE NOW HAS A STACK OF BACK ORDERS FOR THESE TANKS. WHAT GOOD IS THE LIFETIME WARRANTY IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE PARTS SUPPORT. WE REALLY ENJOY THIS AUTO BUT THE STALLING IS GETTING MORE COMMON AND WE FEEL IT IS BECOMING MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR STALLS RANDOMLY. THERE SEEM TO BE TWO SCENARIOS WHEN THE STALLS OCCUR. ONE SCENARIO IS AT IDLE (LESS THAN 1000 RPM). THE CAR WILL JUST STALL AT A RED LIGHT, AT A STOP SIGN, A ROLLING STOP, WHEN DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, ETC. THE OTHER SCENARIO IS AT WOT. ALL THE DASH LIGHT S FLASH ON AND OFF QUICKLY, THE CAR LURCHES VIOLENTLY, LOSS OF POWER, OCCASIONAL STALL. THESE TWO SITUATIONS MAY OR NOT BE RELATED TO EACH OTHER. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL TANK REPLACED ALREADY BECAUSE OF THE STALLING THAT WAS OCCURRING AFTER FUEL FILL UP. THAT TOOK CARE OF THAT SPECIFIC STALLING SCENARIO. THERE STILL REMAIN THESE TWO STALLING SCENARIOS. THEY ARE VERY WELL DOCUMENTED IN THE ONLINE FORUMS. MANY DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO ALL 5.7 AND 6.1 HEMIS IN THE 300S, CHARGERS, CHALLENGERS AND JEEPS. NO DEALERS CAN FIND A DEFINITIVE SOLUTION. I AND MANY OTHERS LOVE OUR CARS, BUT THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE. WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP ON CHRYSLER, WE JUST WANT A SOLUTION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. OUR CARS ARE STALLING RANDOMLY. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE GM STALLING DEBACLE. PLEASE HELP US PREVENT A CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP DEBACLE. BY THE WAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK IN HELPING TO FIND A SOLUTION ON THE FUEL FILL STALLING ISSUE. THE LIFETIME FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT WAS AN ADEQUATE SOLUTION. I MUST NOTE TO YOU THAT INCLUDED IN THE FIX WAS A STATEMENT SAYING THAT "THIS DID NOT REPRESENT A DANGEROUS OR LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION." I DISAGREE 100%. I ALMOST DIED A FEW TIMES DUE TO THE RANDOM STALLING AFTER FUEL FILL. WE ALL KNOW THE DANGERS OF RANDOM STALLING - JUST ASK GM CAR OWNERS. *TR

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C DOOR HANDLES FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. AFTER A YEAR OR TWO WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE BACK EXTERIOR (CHROME) RIGHT DOOR HANDLE BECAME PARTIALLY DETACHED. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND SINCE THEN, THE VERY SAME DOOR HANDLE AS WELL AS THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS PARTIALLY DETACHED. ALSO, THE HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COMPLETELY DETACHED. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT. AS PRICEY AS THIS VEHICLE IS, YOU WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER WOULD USE THE BEST PARTS FOR THEIR VEHICLES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE HANDLES. WHEN I REPLACED IT BEFORE, IT COST ABOUT $200 AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THESE HANDLES WHEN CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE ON THEIR END. I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT MY CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE AFTER PUTTING GAS IN IT AND THE OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON SOMETIMES. MY HEADLIGHTS ALSO DON'T WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE TO KEEP THE HEADLIGHT KNOB IN THE AUTO POSITION JUST FOR THEM TO REMAIN ON OTHERWISE THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK ON AND OFF. SO DURING THE DAYTIME, MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE UNTIL AFTER I TOOK MY CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I ABSOLUTELY HATE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (HEBERT'S TOWN & COUNTRY) BECAUSE THEY NEVER CAN SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR THEY END UP CREATING ONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE OIL SENSOR LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE OIL WAS CHANGED TWICE BY A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE NOR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO PASS AN INSPECTION DUE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING A FRACTURED PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE RIGHT TIE ROD. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,430.
