I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ONE MORNING AND JUST OUT OF THE BLUE I HEAR THIS LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. UPON FARTHER INSPECTION THE RATTLING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE OIL PAN AREA UNDER THE CAR. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ROD BEARINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE COMING FROM THE FACTORY.

ENGINE
WHEN MY KEY IS TURNED TO THE "ON" POSITION WITHOUT FULLY STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT STARTS STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WILL NOT START WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL RETURN TO NORMAL PERFORMANCE. BY NORMAL PERFORMANCE, I MEAN IT WILL START WITHOUT PRESSING GAS PEDAL AND NO STALLING AT LOW SPEED. WHEN TAKING VEHICLE FOR ROUTINE SERVICES, I MUST INFORM THE TECHNICIANS NOT TO PLACE KEY IN THE "ON" POSITION OR THE PROBLEM START ALL OVER AGAIN. SO FAR, I'VE HAD ONE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNINGS, WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY, COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT MY CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHEN I START IT BACK UP AND TAKE OFF THE CAR WILL SOUND LIKE IT WILL WANT TO CUT OFF AGAIN AND START JERKING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. SOMEONE CAN HIT ME FROM BEHIND IF CAR JUST STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RIGHT AFTER REFUELING THE CAR IT ENDED UP STALLING AT A RED LIGHT. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF SO I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE ENGINE CONTINUOUSLY SHUT OFF AT EVERY STOP. IT EVEN HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A U-TURN, SO I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET UNTIL RECRANKING THE CAR. I DID RESEARCH AND NOTICED THIS WAS A FUEL TANK PROBLEM DO TO A FAULTY VALVE PLACED IN THE FUEL TANK. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR SOME 2006 CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS, BUT NOT ALL. LEAVING ME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO HELP GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED. EVEN THOUGH IT IS THERE FAULT FOR BUILDING A FAULTY VALVE.

CAME HOME FROM WORK PARKED MY CAR. TEN FIFTEEN MIN LATER I TRIED TO GO TO THE STORE, CAR STARTED & DIED WOULD NOT RESTART. HALF AN HOUR LATER I GOT IT STARTED, BUT IT MAKE A CRUNCHING NOISE & RAN WITH A MISS FIRE. I LIMPED IT TO MY MECHANIC, THE CAR WAS BLOWING OIL SMOKE OUT THE TAILPIPES LIKE I HAD OVERFILLED IT. MY MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE VALVE SEAT ON # 6 CYLINDER HAD DROPPED RUINING BOTH PLUG, CYLINDER HEAD & PISTON. AFTER HE TOLD ME WHAT HAD HAPPENED I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS, LOOKS LIKE ANY 5.7 HEMI & OTHER MOTORS MADE BEFORE 2009 CAN BE EFFECTED. I'VE TRIED TALKING TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ISSUE & WHEN THE HEAR MY CAR WAS NOT @ A DEALER I WAS STONEWALLED.
