TAKATA RECALL I REQUESTED REMEDY PARTS FROM FCA ONLINE ON 7/26/16. I RECEIVED REF #29780030. AS OF 12/2/16, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I CALLED LANDMARK DODGE JEEP IN CHAMBLEE, GA AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED A SINGLE REPLACEMENT PART FOR RECALL S43/NHTSA 16V-352. TO ME, THIS IS AN EXCESSIVELY TIME TO BE ENDANGERED BY THIS SAFETY RECALL. PLEASE ADVISE ME VIA [email protected] OR CALLING 770-447-6607..

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OF THIS CARS CONSTANTLY STAYED ON AFTER COUNTLESS ATTEMPS TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS. FINALLY THE ENGINE JUST DIED. IT WAS SERVICED REPEATEDLY, WITH TUNE UPS, SPARK PLUG CHANGES, BUT THE ENGINE ALWAYS MISFIRED SHORLTY AFTER. THE CAR IS JUST 10 YEARS OLD. THERE SHOULD NEVER BE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS ON A HIGH QUALITY VEHICLE.

ENGINE
MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CALL WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED WHERE HE WAS ON HWY 155 AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF HE HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE AND THEN HE WAS ABLE TO START IT AND GET THE CAR HOME. I DROVE IT AND IT DID THE SAME THING WHERE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAD FULL TAKE OF GAS AND EVERYTHING. DASH LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AND GO OUT AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING. BUT NO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP COULD FIGURE OUT WHY IT WAS DOING THAT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT WOULD SHUT OFF. CHRYSLER IS STATING TO EVERYONE THAT IT WAS LACK OF MAINTENANCE FOR THE 2006 CHRYSLER C. THEY HAD REPLACED THE GAS TANK BUT NEVER SAID WHY IT NEEDED IT REPLACED. BUT AFTER IT WAS REPLACED KEPT SHUTTING OFF AND NOW MY CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS LAST YEAR. CAR WOULD CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, CUT OFF WHILE IN A TURN AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, DEALER STATED IT WAS PCM. HAD THE CONTROL MODULE FIXED ($1000 REPAIR) AND NOW RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WANTS TO CUT OFF AT ALL SPEEDS. TODAY, MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE GAS STATION AND IT CUT OFF ON HIM AND THEN WOULDN'T START BACK UP. IT STARTED UP A FEW MIN AFTER SITTING BUT TRAFFIC WAS TOO BUSY SO WE WERE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. IT IS STILL PARKED AT THE GAS STATION AND WE ARE HOPING WELL BE ABLE TO GET IT HOME BEFORE HAVING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS 1 1/2 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE WE ASSUMED IT WAS MISFIRING (WHEN IT WAS WANTING TO CUT OFF). WE'VE CHANGED THE CAMSHAFT (PRIOR TO HAVING THE PCM REPLACED) AND EGR VALVE AS WELL. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT HAVE STILL ATTEMPTED TO GET CODES READ... NO CODES. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD A HAND IN MAKING..... HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE YOU REALIZE THAT THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE... BUT I GUESS YOU'D RATHER A LAWSUIT ON YOUR HANDS FOR A DEATH RATHER THEN FIXING ALL THESE CARS THE RIGHT WAY. #UNSATISFIEDBUYER TOOK A SHOT AT THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR AND AM SADLY DISAPPOINTED 2006 300C 5.7L HEMI. WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR IF YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT.

TODAY FOR THE 1ST TIME SINCE I'VE HAD MY CHRYSLER 300C HEMI 5.7 LITER V8 JUST RANDOMLY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. AFTER TAKING OUT THE KEY AND RESTARTING THE CAR BACK UP IT CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT AS SOON AS WE DROVE OFF AT A LOW SPEED YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE SHAKE AND STUMBLE A BIT AND WANTING TO STOP. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED PROBLEMS BEFORE SINCE I GOT IT BACK IN 2014.
