STEERING
THE STEERING RACK HAS COMPLETELY CRACKED ON MY CAR. IT IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY AROUND. I HAD JUST FINISHED AN 800 MILE TRIP AND IT IS LIKELY IT CRACKED SOME TIME DURING THE TRIP. THERE WAS NO CLUNK OR NOTICEABLE NOISE; I FOUND THE CRACK WHILE CHANGING MY OIL AFTER THE TRIP. I AM CONCERNED AS THIS COULD HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE CAR WILL STALL REPEATEDLY FOR SEVERAL MILES. IT THEN RUNS NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. I RECENTLY BOUGHT THE CAR FOR MY SON WHO JUST TURNED 16. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THE FIRST TIME HE FILLED UP WHILE DRIVING ALONE. NEEDLESS TO SAY HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE STATE HIGHWAY HE WAS DRIVING ON (3 LANES EACH DIRECTION) BEFORE IT TOTALLY STOPPED. THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF SO HE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME EVEN TURNING OFF THE MAIN ROAD. IT NOW HAS DONE THE SAME THING FOR THE LAST 3 FILL UPS WHICH WERE ALL AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO RULE OUT BAD GAS AT A PARTICULAR STATION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER REFUELING, VEHICLE WILL START MOVING AND THEN ENGINE "CHOKES OUT AND CUTS OFF . ACTING AS IF I JUST PUT IN BAD FUEL. I CAN SIT AND IDEAL AND IT WILL RUN JUST FINE, I CAN RACE THE ENGINE AND THERE IS NOT PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE, JUST AS IT SEEMS TO BECOMING OUT OF 1ST GEAR IT CHOKES OUT AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. I ACCELERATED TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, JUST AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE ENGINE CHOKES OUT AND CUTS OFF AND MY FAMILY WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. EACH TIME ENGINE CUTS OFF I LOOSE BRAKE AND STEERING FUNCTION. THIS IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME NOW, WHEN I FILL THE TANK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL BUT MANY REPORTS TO CHRYSLER SERVICE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK: VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING. DIFFICULT RESTARTS. THIS OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. AT THE SECOND OCCASION, AFTER FILLING, I COULD HEAR PROLONGED "GURGLING" SOUND FROM FUEL TANK FILLER NECK. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL TANK VENTING SYSTEM - PERHAPS A CLOGGED VENT TUBE.

POWER TRAIN
THE FLOOR SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. THERE IS ACTUALLY A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM (CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER) THAT INCLUDES MY MODEL AND YEAR, BUT NOT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THE VIN NUMBERS OF VEHICLES THAT QUALIFY FOR FREE REPLACEMENT ARE APPARENTLY TOO SELECTIVE, JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF LIKE VEHICLES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY LIMIT THE RECALL TO SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS, WHEN EVEN CHRYSLER HAS IDENTIFIED THAT THERE IS A RANGE OF VEHICLES THAT COULD, AND ACTUALLY ARE INCURRING THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE NOT BEING COVERED?

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
HELLO, I AM A CURRENT CHRYSLER VEHICLE OWNER AND IVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 WHICH JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR TROUBLE CODES REPORTED TO THE CARS COMPUTER. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IM DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WILL JUST STALL OUT. EACH TIME I TAKE MY CAR TO THE AUTO MECHANICS, THEY ARENT ABLE TO IDENTIFY ANYTHING WRONG AS THERE ARENT ANY CODES DETECTED. MY VEHICLE EVEN STALLED WHILE AT THE MECHANICS SHOP AND THEY STILL WERENT ABLE TO ASSIST AS NO CODES WERE TRIGGERED. OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, IVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND COUNTLESS HOURS, STUCK ON MAJOR HIGHS AS WELL AS REPLACING CAR COMPONENTS IN A BIG EFFORT OF TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS CONCERN. TO DATE, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THESE ANXIETIES. IVE BEEN OUT ON RELATIVE WEB SITES LOOKING THIS PROBLEM UP AND IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF CHRYSLER SRT/SRT8 OWNERS AND THEY ARE DEALING WITH SAME CONCERNS THAT I AM. IM INCLUDING A URL LINK TO ONE OF THE BLOG OF 10+ PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS WHO ARE LOST, CONFUSED AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. HTTP://WWW.CHARGERFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-47313.HTML ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS WHY I AM ASKING FOR SOME ASSISTANCE IS BOTH AWARENESS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AS THERE COULD BE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT. ANOTHER REASON IS A PROACTIVE EFFORT AT HOPING TO GET ASSISTANCE TO GET FEEDBACK FROM CHRYSLER TO HELP RESOLVE THESE CONCERNS.

UNABLE TO STEER, OR USE THE BREAKS THE CAR STOP IMMEDIATELY CAN NOT GET TO A SAFE PLACE..HAS BEEN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER FOUR TIME THIS YEAR FOR OTHER RELATED PROBLEMS. BUT CHRYSLER WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT READ A CODE.IT WAS INTERNAL PROBLEM. FOR 21DAYS THEY KEPT MY CAR WITHOUT REPAIR..SECOND VISIT WAS 9-10 DAYS WITH APPROXIMATELY FIVE DAY WITH THE OWNER MY LATEST STAY WAS 4DAYS. MY CAR DROVE APPROXMATE; 50 MILES BEFORE STALLING AGAIN.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY SHIFTER MECHANISM THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS $468 AND THE PART ONLINE CAN BE REPAIRED AT NO COST OR REPLACED FOR $15 TO $30. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR MORE THAN JUST 2006 300C AUTOS. IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT ADMIT TO THE FLAW WHY DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT MAKE THEM STEP UP AND REPAIR OR REIMBURSE CONSUMERS WHO WILL NO DOUBT NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE? THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR AT LEAST CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY WHEN THE PART FAILS.
