FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR LAST YEAR IF WE FILL THE GAS TANK TO FULL THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE FUEL STATION. HIGHLY DANGEROUS. MY WIFE DOESN'T FILL THE TANK ANYMORE AFTER THREE INCIDENTS WHERE SHE WAS ALMOST HIT DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL WE MOVED CAR TO FLORIDA. MAYBE RELATED TO GAS TEMPERATURE IN GAS STATION VERSUS FUEL TEMPERATURE IN CAR? *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2005 CHRYSLER 300 HEMI 5.7. IF YOU ALMOST FILL GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL OUT WITHOUT WARNING FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS. I HAVE ASKED THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY SHOW NO TSB OR RECALL. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE SEEN MANY ARTICLES ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FILLING UP. IN REFERENCE TO PE13016, THE ACTION REFERS TO CARS FROM MODEL YEARS 2005 AND 2006. YET, THE FINAL INVESTIGATION RESULTS ONLY INCLUDE THE 2006 MODEL YEAR? 2005 CARS ARE ALSO AFFECTED. THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED NOT ONLY IN COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE BUT ALL OVER IN INTERNET FORUMS. YOU KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM, CHRYSLER KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM THUS A RECALL OF THE MODEL YEAR 2006. DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL MODEL YEAR 2005 BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WHEN THE VEHCLE DIES YOU LOSE YOUR POWER BRAKES, YOUR POWER STEERING, AND YOU ARE A SITTING DUCK. RECALL THE 2005'S AND FIX THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. *JS

SUSPENSION
THE CAR RIDES SMOOTH ON GOOD ROADS BUT ON ROUGH ROADS IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING IS FALLING OFF UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THE BUSHINGS REPLACED AND TIE RODS REPLACED. THE FRONT END SHOP AND MY MECHANIC HAVE BOTH TRIED TO FIND WHAT WAS MAKING ALL THE NOISE AND BANGING AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING THAT IS LOOSE WHEN IT IS ON THE LIFT. I LOVE THE CAR BUT THE NOISES ARE IRRITATING AND EMBARRASSING TO THOSE THAT RIDE WITH ME. COULD NOT GET THE APPROX. DATE TO WORK, IT BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS HELP!! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. I REFUEL THE CAR. THE CAR STARTS FINE. LEAVING THE GAS STATION I SLOW DOWN BEFORE ENTERING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE STALLS. I RESTART THE ENGINE FINE. I PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND IF I MAKE A LEFT TURN, AND APPLY THE BRAKES AFTER ENTERING THE TURN, THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR ALWAYS RESTARTS FINE. HOWEVER, THE CAR WILL THEN STALL AT AN IDLE CONDITION, AS WHEN WAITING FOR A LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. AFTER A FEW RESTARTS, OR PROLONGED DRIVING, THE CONDITION GOES AWAY. HOWEVER, IT SCARES MY WIFE SILLY. I JUST READ THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 AND I AM TAKING THIS CAR TO LINWOOD CHRYSLER THIS TUESDAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE MYSELF, AND TO LET YOU KNOW MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. BY THE WAY, WHEN THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FILLED UP TANK AT GAS STATION AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED, RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY BUT FELT SLUGGISH. STARTED A RIGHT TURN AND ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN! THIS REALLY SCARRED ME AS IT WAS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! I RESTARTED AND STALLED A BLOCK LATER. I TOOK CAR TO A MECHANIC TO TEST GAS AND HE FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. THE CAR RAN FINE THE NEXT DAY. ON 1-17-2015 I STOPPED AT COSTCO TO FILL UP, CAR STALLED IMMEDIATELY AS I STARTED TO PULL AWAY THE GAS STATION. CAR DIED ABOUT 5 OTHER TIMES WITHIN THE PARKING LOT OF COSTCO. THE CAR WOULD RESTART IMMEDIATELY. I DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO THE EXPRESS WAY AND DROVE 35 MILES HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE UNEXPECTED STALLING OF THE ENGINE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IN MY CASE, THIS SECOND TIME I WAS ON A BUSY PARKING LOT ON A SATURDAY WITH CARS TURNING AND CERTAINLY NO ONE EXPECTS A CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, OVER THE YEARS I HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WHERE THE STATION GAS PUMP WOULD STOP EVEN AFTER PUMPING LESS THAN HALF A GALLON. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP AT THE STATION AND I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER PUMP OR ANOTHER STATION AND IT WOULD FILL UP OK. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, MY CHRYSLER 300C WOULD OCCASIONALLY STALL. MOSTLY IT WOULD BE AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR WOULD STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I JUST RECENTLY REALIZED, IT WOULD OCCUR WHEN I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS SHOCKING THAT AN ISSUE LIKE THIS COULD GO THIS LONG WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS, DUE TO THIS ISSUE... I COULD SEE THIS ISSUE BECOMING MORE OF AN NOTICEABLE PROBLEM, DUE TO THE LOWER GAS PRICES. I USUALLY PUT IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY WHEN I FILL UP. NOT UNTIL MORE RECENTLY, WITH THE LOWER GAS PRICES, THAT AMOUNT FILLS MY TANK. THAT IS WHY IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO REALIZE THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK. *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
OTHER VEHICLE CROSSED OVER YELLOW LINE AND HIT OUR CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE ON DRIVERS SIDE ALL THE WAY TO BACK AND KNOCKED OFF THE BACK DRIVERS WHEEL AND SENT US SPINNING AROUND INTO AND WRAPPED AROUND TELEPHONE POLE. MY LEGS WERE PINNED UNDER DASH AND COULDN'T MOVE, PASSENGER DOOR HAD BEEN BADLY DAMAGED AND PUSHED IN ABOUT ONE FOOT. HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE CAR TO GET ME OUT, TAKEN TO ER. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHICH I FIND QUITE ODD. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE AND WHO TO CONTACT TO FIND OUT WHY AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. WE DO HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES TO BACK UP OUR CLAIM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS IS MESSAGE IS TO HELP YOU OUT. MY 2005 300 STALLED WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AS WELL, AND FINALLY IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE GAS TANK FROM FRONT TO BACK NEEDED TO GET REPLACED. DONT LET THE DEALER TELL YOU OTHERWISE. MY CAR WAS FIXED AND HAS BEEN FINE EVER SINCE. EVERYTHING THAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT IT STALLING AFTER PUMPING GAS TO THE MAX AND THE WHEEL LOCKING W/O NOTICE HAS TO DO WITH THE GAS PUMP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING MY FUEL TANK THE CAR WOULD STALL AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 5 - 30 MPH CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. UPON SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL IT WOULD START BUT WOULD STALL 2 OR 3 MORE TIMES. I WAS NOT SURE OF THE CAUSE UNTIL JUNE OF THIS YEAR WHEN I GOT A NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. THIS WAS 7/16/2014. TO DATE THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART AND I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT PRODUCING THEM. THE CAR IN THIS STATE IS NOT SAFE. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WERE GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THERE MUST BE SOME RECOURSE TO FORCE A MANUFACTURER TO HONOR A RECALL. *TR

STEERING, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOOSE MY POWER STEERING AND HAVE TO TRY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF IT WILL THEN RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS FROM10-70. THE SECOND ISSUE IS SOMETIMES THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD ON ITS OWN OR ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WHAT I AM PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THESE CARS AND WE ALL SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT WHEN WE TAKE IT TO MECHANICS SINCE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT THEY CAN'T TELL US WHAT'S WRONG. I HAVE HAD SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS WITH THESE ISSUES AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS. I AM SURE THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THESE SAME ISSUES BUT IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN TRACED BACK TO THE CAR, IT WAS PROBABLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. *TR
