ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. OFTEN WHEN IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT, AND SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE OIL LIGHT WARNING COMES ON, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT, AND POWER STEERING CEASES TO WORK. I MUST RESTART THE CAR AND REV THE ENGINE BEFORE PROCEEDING, IT HAS YET TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE HAD THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP MECHANICS LOOK AT THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, USUALLY WITH INCREASED FREQUENCY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL. TO REITERATE, OFTEN WHEN I AM IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT THE CHRYSLER 300 STALLS. BUT THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AS WELL. THE MECHANICS I HAVE HAD LOOK AT MY CAR HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. BUT IT USUALLY HAPPENS WITH GREATER FREQUENCY RIGHT AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK TO FULL.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. SINCE 2013, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR STOPS COMPLETELY, SOMETIMES RESTARTING ON ITS OWN, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK IN 2015, STATING THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE, BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL. MOST RECENTLY, IT STOPPED WHILE MERGING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE CAR RANDOMLY TURNS OFF, NO WARNING. NOW THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND REFUSES TO START AT ALL.

ENGINE
2006 CHRYSLER 300C. CAR HAS 84,000 MILES. DROVE AROUND TODAY FOR A HALF HOUR. PARKED CAR. RESTARTED CAR IN 5 MINUTES, IT MADE A HORRIBLE SOUND AND CAR STARTED SHAKING, RAN ROUGH AND THEN DIED. WOULD ONLY RESTART WITH FOOT ON GAS AND RAN VERY ROUGH. TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID THAT THE VALVE/CYLINER #5 DROPPED. ENGINE IS SHOT, UNLESS I PAY TO HAVE IT RE-BULT OR REPLACED. CAR IS NOT EVEN WORTH IT. ALREADY HAD TO HAVE A RE-BULT TRANSMISSION ON CAR AT 68,000 MILES. CAR IS A JOKE AND SO IS CHRYSLER, NEVER BUYING ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS AGAIN. OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY. HORRIBLE MANUFACTURING IN THIS CAR, FROM ENGINE TO TRANS TO GAS TANK ISSUE TO ELECTICAL. CAR IS A LEMON.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN JANUARY 2015. AS OF DECEMBER 2015 IT STARTED STALLING. IT WOULD START JERKING WHEN I GAVE IT GAS. IT WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN I EITHER TRIED TO TAKE OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN I WAS JUST STOPPED OR IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING WITHIN 40 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (NOT THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM) THEY DIAGNOSED IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS. I PAID OVER $1200 TO GET IT FIXED. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF ME PICKING IT UP. IT WAS THERE FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS, THEY SAID IT DID NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN IT WAS THERE. ONLY SAID I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I HAD THEM REPLACE THE BATTERY. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH LATER. THIS TIME THEY DIAGNOSED THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE WORK WAS COMPLETE I PICKED IT UP AND LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING I WAS BROKE DOWN AGAIN. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME ITS BEEN THERE IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS. ALSO I NEVER RECEIVED A REFUND AFTER THE MIS-DISGNOSIS! THIS IS FRUSTRATING!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE CUTS OFF WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOTS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND STOP SIGNS. ALSO WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SPUDDERS LIKE IT'S GOING TO QUIT, AND THEN SUDDENLY SURGES AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ALL OF THIS IS RANDOM, AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, AND IS WORSE IN THE CITY WHEN THERE IS MORE STOPPING. NO CODES OR LIGHTS ARE COMING ON, SO A DIAGNOSTIC CAN'T BE RAN. MY MECHANIC HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS AND CAN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR WILL STALL OUT AT COMPLETE RANDOM TIMES WHILE IT IS IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL IN DRIVE OR IN PARK. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM 0 TO 70 MPH, IT IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS MODEL AND CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON THE FUEL TANK TO LIFETIME BUT FOR SOME REASON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE DOESN'T FALL UNDER THIS CIRCUMSTANCE DESPITE IT BEING THE EXACT SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL LISTED ON THE DOCUMENTS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR HIGHWAY AND IT CAUSING A WRECK AND HARM TO ME OR MY FAMILY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND I NOTICED THAT WHEN I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK IT WOULD CUT OFF. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS PUTTING TOO MUCH GAS IN IT, SO I STOPPED FILLING IT UP. THEN MAYBE 3-4 MONTHS AGO IT STARTED ACTING AS IF IT DID NOT WANT TO START OR WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGHT GAS. SO I STARTED PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT STORES I WENT TO, TO GET GAS. TWO DAYS AGO, I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND AT FIRST IT WOULD NOT START AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS, BUT THEN IT FINALLY STARTED AND AS I WAS IN TRAFFIC, MAKING A RIGHT TURN, IT JUST CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I LATER LEARNED THAT IT IS AN UNLIMITED RECALL ON THE FUEL TANKS FOR MY CAR. I CALLED SEVERAL CHRYSLAER DEALERSHIPS, AND IT SEEMS THAT WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT FOR MAYBE A MONTH OR TWO AND ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE I HAD MORE THAN 150,00 MILES ON MY CAR THEY WON'T FIX IT.

I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG,SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEND A STAR CASE TO CHRYSLER ENGINEER,TO HELP FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR.THEY SAID IT WAS OK TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY HEARD FROM CHRYSLER ENGINEER.16MILES AND 15DAYS LATER WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START,SO I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STARTED THE CAR,THEN CAME OUT AND TOLD ME I NEEDED A MOTOR. THEY THE MOTOR DROPPED 2VALVE SEATS. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT ABOUT THIS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY WON'T HELP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I FILLED UP MY VEHICLE WITH GAS. I HAD MY NIECES IN THE CAR WITH ME, AND AS I PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION, THE CAR STALLED AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I GOT IT TO CRANK BACK UP BEFORE GETTING HIT. IT DIDN'T HAVE MUCH POWER BUT FINALLY GAINED ITS POWER BACK. EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK UP (NOT TOPPING OFF, BUT STOP ONCE IT CLICKS OFF) AND I DRIVE OFF, THE CAR QUITS AND HAS TO BE CRANKED BACK UP. IT APPEARS TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS FILLED UP. THIS IS HAPPENING ONLY WHEN IT'S FILLED UP (WHICH ONE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO DO). THIS IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS AS WHEN YOU PULL OFF INTO TRAFFIC, THE LAST THING YOU NEED IS TO HAVE A CAR DIE ON YOU AND YOU GET HIT. PLEASE HELP! I SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM.
