FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2005 300C STALLS WHILE IN MOTION AND WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, AND IS EXHIBITING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THOSE DESCRIBED IN YOUR PE13016 REPORT WHICH COVERS A RECALL OF 2006 CHRYSLER 300CS WHICH HAVE THE SAME 19 GALLON TANK AS MY CAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT CONTINUES TO OCCUR. HOW CAN I GET THE CAR REPAIRED (WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE INVOLVES FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT) BY FIAT CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE TO ME? PLEASE RESPOND, THANK YOU *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I HAVE BEEN GETTING CHRYSLER RECALL LETTERS FOR 9 MONTHS NOW. (RECALL# P57 NHTSA 14V 567). EVERY MONTH WHEN I CALL DEALERSHIP, ATLANTIC CHRYSLER-JEEP, 6820 TILTON RD, PLEASANTVILLE, NJ 08232 PHONE:(609) 646-8600, THEY TELL ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THERE ARE 200 CARS ON RECALL BEFORE MY TURN. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAG AND IGNITION STICKING BETWEEN START AND RUN POSITIONS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR HAS BEEN DISPLAYING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR FOR ABOUT THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. THE MORE RECENT PROBLEM I'VE EXPERIENCED IS THAT MY CAR SHUTS OFF AT A COMPLETE STOP AND SOMETIMES AS I'M BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AS IT SHUTS OFF. I FEEL THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BEING I'VE DODGED A FEW ACCIDENTS ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WHAT IF I'M AT A LIGHT AND GETTING READY TO TURN OR MAKE A U TURN AND IT SHUTS OFF IN ON COMING TRAFFIC, OR IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HAVE TO SUDDENLY BRAKE AND IT SHUTS OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE BUT I HOPE I CAN GET HELP SOME WAY, SOME HOW. I FEEL MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L HEMI: ENGLINE STALLS IF I FILL THE GAS TANK TO MAXIMUM AS I MAKE R OR L TURN LEAVING GAS STATION . CAR WILL RESTART AND STALL AGAIN AND AGAIN IF/WHEN I MAKE A TURN TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS LEVEL OF GASOLINE IN TANK FAILS BELOW THE FULL MARK. THIS IS A PROBLEM ON A LONG TRIP AS IT REQUIES NUMEROUS EXTRA STOPS FOR GAS AND STALLING AS I ENTER ROADWAY OR HIGHWAY IS DANGEROUS FOR ME AND SURROUNDING TRAFFIC/TRAVELERS.

SEAT BELTS
THE PASSENGER SEATBELT INDICATOR LIGHT FAILS TO EXTINGUISH IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED WITH THE BELT IS SECURELY CLICKED. IF I WIGGLE THE LATCH, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OUT, BUT I WONDER WHAT EFFECT THIS HAS ON THE PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM IF THE BELT IS INDICATED AS UNFASTENED. IT SEEMS THE SEATBELTS SHOULD BE WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING NECESSARY TO PROTECT PASSENGERS SHOULD HAVE NO TOLERANCE FOR ERRATIC OPERATION.

THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH SO FAR USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE KEY IN ORDER TO START IT UP AGAIN. IT STARTS UP AND I'M ON MY WAY AGAIN. THE ISSUE IS THERE IS NO WARNING LIKE THE CAR SLOWING DOWN OR VIBRATING OR A DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT BEFORE IT SHUTS DOWN. I'M AFRAID THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WILL RUN IN TO ME BECAUSE OF THIS. I'VE HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE TODAY AND THE REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE THEY SEE NO HISTORY OF ANY CODES COMING UP. THEY WOULD NEED TO SEE IT HAPPEN. THAT WOULD BE HARD TO DO.

ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR CUT OFF 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON; ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THEN AFTER FUELING THE CAR AND PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT ABOUT 35 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I SAFELY GUIDED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 2 SENSORS (CODE:P0038)- $501.98. ONE WEEK LATER, THE CAR CONTINUED TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP CODES THAT CAME UP: P0038, P0058, P0052, P0032, PMC & ENGINE HARNESS,& PMC ENGINE COMPUTER - $2000 - DECLINED REPAIRS BECAUSE SENSORS (P0038) WERE JUST REPLACED . CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN 08-34-05 JUNE 30, 2015 ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER CORP -MICHAEL BROWSOWSKI SAYS THE CAR (NOW 56,484 MILES) IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY OWE US NOTHING, BUT AS A GOOD WILL GESTURE, THEY WILL PAY FOR 2 PARTS ONLY - NOT LABOR. HE ADMITTED THAT A CAR CUTTING OFF IS UNACCEPTABLE, BUT REFUSED TO COVER THE ENTIRE COST OF REPAIR. HE ALSO REFUSED TO REPLY TO MY WRITTEN COMPLAINT IN WRITING. CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO SHIRK THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ACCELERATOR PEDAL GETS STUCK ON CHRYSLER 300 C AND CAR KEEPS ON ACCELERATING. EVEN WHEN SLAMMING THE BRAKES THE CAR KEEPS ACCELERATING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. WE CALLED CHRYSLER TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AND THERE IS NO RECALL OR SOLUTION PROPOSED. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR HAS A 5.7 LITER ENGINE AND ACCELERATION CAN BE VERY FORCEFUL. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE HURT BECAUSE OF THIS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SIMILAR PROBLEM ON OTHER VEHICLES FROM THE CHRYSLER COMPANY BUT NOT FOR THAT VEHICLE.
