AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C IT WOULD SHUT OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS REFUELED. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STALLING IN THE INTERSECTION. *TR

THE BELOW ARE INSERTS FROM MY CONTACT AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION, AND THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH STALLING AFTER FILLING WITH MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 SRT8. THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE LISTED AND DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE BLOGS TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION?S ONLINE FORUM TO INDICATE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BY YOUR ORGANIZATION AND THE DEALERSHIPS WHO SERVICE OUR VEHICLES, AND IF YOU WANT TO REALLY WON'T TO ASSIST ME IN ENSURING THAT THIS MATTER IS CORRECTED YOU CAN INSTRUCT AND AUTHORIZE AIRPARK CHRYSLER JEEP TO RESOLVED MY PROBLEM WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY OR THE NEED TO CONTINUE WITH FURTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. AS I STATED ABOVE, THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND FALLS ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO RECTIFY WITHOUT ALL THE RUN-AROUND I AM RECEIVING AT THE MOMENT TO GET THIS ACCOMPLISHED. MY VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK INSTALLED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND YOU CAN ASSIST IN GETTING THIS DONE BY PROVIDING THAT REPLACEMENT AND CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP THAT NEEDS TO DO IT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD JUST FILLED UP THE TANK AND PULLED ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO A PARKING LOT. AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE CAR DIED. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AFTER ABOUT THREE ATTEMPTS. AFTER LEAVING THE STORE I DROVE HOME AND IT DIED ON ME AT THE END ON THE PARKING LOT AS I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. IT DIED ONCE MORE AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT APPROX. 25 MPH. AFTER I GOT IT HOME, I ALLOWED IT TO IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WITH NO PROBLEM. AFTER EATING DINNER I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION. IT DIED AND TOOK ABOUT FIVE ATTEMPTS TO GET IT RESTARTED. *TR UPDATED 10/1/2014 *JS

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON APRIL 9TH AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 P.M. I FILLED MY CAR WITH FUEL UNTIL THE PUMP SHUT OFF. AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL LID I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. ALMOST AS SOON AS I STOPPED THE ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH, AS IF IT WERE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND STOPPED. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE ANOTHER BLOCK BEFORE STOPPING AT ANOTHER TRAFFIC SIGNAL. AGAIN, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED. I GOT IT STARTED AND REACHED PARK MANOR NURSING HOME AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WHILE I WENT TO VISIT. WHEN I LEFT THE NURSING HOME, I WENT DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ABOUT 1/8 MILE TO A 5 LANE INTERSECTION THAT HAD A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED AGAIN JUST AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART IT THEN CAREFULLY LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL ENOUGH TO PUT THE GEAR SHIFT BACK IN "D" AND DRIVE AWAY. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED ANY ENGINE STOPS, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY DANGEROUS, SINCE YOU CANNOT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND NOTHING SEEMED TO TRIGGER THE FAULTS. EACH TIME THE ENGINE STOPPED, I NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR WAS DISPLAYED AND WATCHED IT RISE TO NORMAL WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS EVERY TIME I FILLED MY GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED. I WOULD START IT AND IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED GETTING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR DEAD STOPPED ALSO AT INTERSECTIONS. EVERY TIME I STOPPED THE CAR AT A LIGHT AFTER FILL UP CAR WOULD STOP. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AS I FEARED I WOULD BE KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER JAN 14, 2014. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, EVAP CANASTER AND VENT VALVE AT A COST OF $1740.22. I ASKED IF THIS CONDITION WAS UNDER WARRENTY THEY SAID NO. I UNDERSTAND THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED ON THE FUEL TANKS AS PER PE 13-016. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRENTY. CHRYSLER IS NOT HONORING THEIR OBLIGATION TO REPAIR THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I WANT TO BE SURE MY VIN# IS INCLUDED IN THIS WARRENTY AS I WILL SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

ENGINE
2006 CHRYSLER 300C, 5.7L HEMI ENGINE, I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE APPROX, 25 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT, WENT INTO THE BUSINESS. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START MY ENGINE, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT RUN. I CALLED ROADSIDE SERVICE FOR HELP. THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO RUN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. THE SHOP REPORTED TO ME THAT 3 CYLINDERS HAD NO COMPRESSION, THE VALVES HAD DROPPED DOWN INTO THE MOTOR, THREE SPARK PLUGS WERE CRUSHED. I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MODEL ENGINE, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 5.7 HEMI'S. THE VALVE RETAINERS FAIL AND LET THE VALVE DROP AND CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED. THERE IS A RETRO-FIT AVAILABLE TO CHANGE THE VALVE RETAINERS. I NOW HAVE A CURRENT BILL FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, REMOVAL AND INSTALL A USED ENGINE FOR $8,063.26. THIS CHARGE CAN GO UP IF THE RETRO-FIT HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET. I AM WAITING TO FIND OUT IF THE REPLACEMENT USED ENGINE HAS BEEN RETRO-FITTED. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300C, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PINK PLASTIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. THIS LEVER HAS A HOOK FOR THE SPRING TO HOOK ONTO. THE HOOK BROKE, CAUSING THE SHIFTER TO LOCK IN THE "PARK" POSITION. THIS LEAVES THE CAR INOPERABLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE CURRENT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL FOR ME IS THE FUEL. I JUST HAD A VAPOR CANISTER INSTALLED THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE BUT IT DID GET RID OF A FEW OF THE PROBLEMS. WHEN I FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SHUTTING DOWN AFTER A FILL UP, I THOUGHT THE GAS HAD WATER IN IT BUT IT'S NOT THE GAS. NO MATTER WHAT STATION I FILL UP AT, I HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS. THE CAR WILL DRIVE FINE FOR ABOUT 3 CAR LENGTHS, THEN IT WILL HESITATE, CHOKE, JUMP, TRY TO DIE, JERK FORWARD AND THEN FINALLY STALL AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. THEN IT WILL TAKE 3 OR MORE TRIES TO GET THE CAR TO RESTART AND IT MAY DO THE SAME THINGS OVER AGAIN FOR ANOTHER BLOCK OR TWO. THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IN THE FIRST 3 BLOCKS OF DRIVING THIS CAR AFTER A FILL UP, I CAN EXPECT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING AND I KNOW FOR SURE IT WILL DIE ON ME IF I FILL IT UP. IF I ONLY PUT IN 3/4 OF A TANK OF GAS OR LESS, I AM SAFE BUT IF I LET THE PUMP KICK OFF ON ITS OWN, I'M IN TROUBLE. THE ONLY THING THE VAPOR CANISTER DID WAS STOP IT FROM JUMPING AND JERKING, ALL THE OTHER SYMPTOMS ARE STILL THERE.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE AND THE CAR LUNGED AND THEN SEEMED TO BE FINE, UNTIL GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPING AT THE LIGHT IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS IT WAS MISSING OUT. IT DID NOT THROW A ENGINE CODE UNTIL PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY. I IMMEDIATELY DID A SCAN AND CAME UP WITH A P1414 CYLINDER 4 REACTIVATION CONTROL PERFORMANCE POSSIBLE CAUSES (K452) MDS SOLENOID NO.4 CONTROL SHORT TO VOLTAGE OIL PASSAGES RESTRICTED LIFTER MDS SOLENOID NO.4 PCM WE THEN TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME A 125.00 TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY TOLD THEM. AND FOLLOWED UP WITH THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 600.00 TO TEAR IT DOWN AND INSPECT IT FURTHER. SO I DID THE TEAR DOWN MYSELF AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE FOUND TO EXPLAIN WHY A CAR WITH ONLY 92000 MILES ON IT AND 5-20 ROYAL PURPLE OIL AND K&N OIL FILTER WERE CHANGED ON A RELIGIOUS BASES, AND CLEAN COOLANT WOULD CAUSE A PISTON TO BASICALLY DESTROY ITSELF. THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REPLACED COSTING OVER $6000 ALMOST MORE THEN CAR IS WORTH RUNNING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING THE CAR A CHRYSLER 300C STALLS. THIS IS NOW AN ONGOING PROBLEM AS THE CAR NOW STALLS AFTER FUELING. THE STALL OCCURS MOSTLY WHEN STOPPED AT A RED-LIGHT OR DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. IT HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO INCLUDE WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO A INTERSTATE.THE STALL CAUSES ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS TO FAIL IE. BREAKS, STEERING, ET. I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE CHRYSLER HOTLINE 800-992-1997 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, CHRYSLER WILL EXTEND FUEL-TANK WARRANTIES DOES NOT APPLY TO 2006 CHRYSLER 300C MODELS. I WAS TOLD THE MALFUNCTIONING SHUT-OFF FLOAT AND GAS TANK NECK SPLASH ISSUE IS NOT COVERED. *TR
