FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WILL STALL OUT AFTER I HAVE FILLED THE TANK UP WITH GAS. I USE THE RECOMMEND GAS GRADE THE BOOK SAID TO USE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE FEBRUARY. IT WILL DRIVE AWAY FROM THE PUMP OR GAS STATION WITHOUT A PROBLEM BUT WILL STALL IN TRAFFIC OR WHILE AT A LIGHT I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACE A MONTH AGO AND IT WILL STALL OUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE THE PROBLEM CAN BE BUT A CAR STALLING OUT IN TRAFFIC CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR NO APPARENT REASON. VEHICLE STALLED INITIALLY WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RESTART IT. DEALER HAD VEHICLE FOR OVER 6 MONTHS AND COULD NOT SOLVE THE STALLING ISSUE. VEHICLE CURRENTLY STALLS WHILE SITTING AT LIGHTS ETC. HAS NOT STALLED LATELY WHILE DRIVING DEALER FINALLY RELEASED VEHICLE TO ME AND BASICALLY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO AS IT WAS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK AND I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A SMOOTH MERGE INTO TRAFFIC BUT MY CAR MADE LITTLE EFFORT TO MOVE. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT STRUGGLED TO SPEED FORWARD AS IF IT WAS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. IN ORDER TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT AGAIN, I HAD TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF MY VEHICLE, AND TURN IT BACK ON. AFTER WORK, A SIMILAR ISSUE ROSE. I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS TO MOVE FORWARD, IT STRUGGLED UNTIL THE VEHICLE GAINED SPEED OF ABOUT 10MPH, THEN IT PICKED UP SPEED AS NORMAL AS IF IT WAS STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. WHEN I GOT HOME, MY ENGINE TEMPERATURE REACHED 217 WHICH IS WELL ABOVE NORMAL. THE CAR ISN'T GIVING ME A CODE SO I CAN KNOW WHAT EXACTLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2006 CHRYSLER 300C-(APROX. 45000 MILES) CAR STARTED RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WHEN STOPPING OR TURNING. PROBLEM BECAME MORE FREQUENT TO SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, IDLING, AND SHIFTING BACKWARDS. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WE NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMPS AS THEY AREN'T WORKING PROPERLY BUT AT OUR OWN EXPENSE. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAID PUMPS SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE. DOES NOT REGISTER A CODE ON DIAGNOSTIC TEST. OUR CAR HAS 45,000 MILES AND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM...WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ENGINE STALLING TROUBLES!! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ON 8/8/2014. ONE WEEK AFTER MY PURCHASE I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND SOON AFTER THE CAR WOULD STALL WHEN IDLING AND/OR AT LOW SPEEDS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE UNTIL IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. I'VE SPENT THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS DOING RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE. MY SITUATION IS EXACTLY LIKE THE COMPLAINTS THAT WERE MADE THAT CAUSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS WHEN PUTTING MY VIN NUMBER IN IT DOESN'T SHOW THE COMPLAINT. I WANTED TO LODGE THIS COMPLAINT THIS WAY WHEN I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CORRECTED I HAVE A POINT OF REFERENCE. ONE DAY I HAD MY SEVEN YEAR OLD SON AND 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, IT WAS RAINING AND THE CAR STARTED TO STALL AT ABOUT 35 MPH I TAPPED THE GAS TO PREVENT IT FROM STALLING. THE TEMPORARY STALL DISENGAGED MY TRACTION CONTROL AND I SLID INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THROUGH IT HOWEVER MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE DIED. I HOPE CHRYSLER DOES THE RIGHT THING FOR ME. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND WHEN I LEFT THE GAS STATION, ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO DRIFT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT WENT BAD. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN A CAR STALLS PULLING OUT ON TO A BUSY HIGHWAY.

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

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

SEAT BELTS
I HAD A PERSON GETTING IN AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FASTEN SEATBELT AND HEARD A PSEUDO CLICK, BUT A FEW SECONDS LATER AS I STARTED TO MOVE, THE WARNING SOUND STARTED INDICATING THE SEATBELT WAS NOT FASTENED. THE SEATBELT SEEMED TO BE SECURE BUT SOMETHING WAS NOT PERCEIVING THE BUCKLE WAS FASTENED. I WONDER IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD FUNCTION IN THIS SITUATION? THIS IS ALSO A CAR WITH THE ADDITIONAL AIRBAGS INSTALLED BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD SAFETY FEATURE TO HAVE BUT NOW AM TOLD IT IS A LIABILITY. *TR
