ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
When the fuel tank is topped off the vehicle stalls 2-6 times until the excess fuel is burned off. This has happened on the road, in parking lots, intersections, etc. It causes total loss of power & power steering. Additionally, I usually have to shift to Park, Neutral, Reverse, Drive, Reverse, and then drive again in order to get the transmission to lock back in forward gearing. Causing me to have to additionally pull over, or stop, when/wherever the incident occurs.

AIR BAGS
I was very excited to purchase my 2005 Chrysler 300C, but there was a recall on the airbag which was taken into the dealer and replace but my grandson had accident in March 2018 and the airbag didn’t disengage. I contact the customer service and they said that I should have contact them before the car was removed from the wrecker company but I wasn’t aware that I to notify them. I send them picture of the car and the insurance adjuster can verify that the airbag didn’t disengaged. I'm writing to express my dissatisfaction with the process for recall failure and how to report the incident.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN REFUELING MY CHRYSLER 300C BACK TO FULL CAPACITY IT WILL IMMEDIATELY STALL OUT AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE CAR WILL START RIGHT UP AGAIN NO PROBLEM, AND CONTINUE TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC MULTIPLE TIMES FOLLOWING UNTIL IT BURNS OFF ENOUGH FUEL TO STOP. I ALSO HAVE BEEN SMELLING RAW GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM VARIES. THE ODOR IS HIGHLY POTENT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR. NEVER WITNESSED ANY FLUID LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE CAR OR NOTICEABLY IN FUEL TANK GAUGE UNTIL THIS MORNING, IT WAS LEAKING OUT FROM THE TRIM PANEL UNDERNEATH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE .

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER I REFUEL MY CAR, IT ALWAYS SMELLS LIKE GAS INSIDE THE CAB. I RECENTLY LOOKED TO SEE WHERE IT IS COMING FROM, AND FOUND IT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK SEAT. THE TRANSFER PUMP HAS A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE MAIN GROUNDING WIRE PASSENGER-SIDE ENGINE BLOCK CONTACT POINT HAD CORROSION(RUST) LIMITING ELECTRICAL CURRENT FLOW TO THE WIRING HARNESS. THIS CAUSED TOO MUCH CURRENT TO FLOW TO 2 SMALLER 16 GAUGE GROUNDING WIRES ATTACHED TO THE REAR OF EACH HEMI CYLINDER HEAD TO FRY. THIS DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE CCN BUS COMMUNICATIONS TO THE CPU. ANY DEVICE, MODULE, OR SENSOR ATTACHED TO THE CCN BUS CAN HAVE INTERMITTENT BEHAVIOR. EXAMPLES OF VERY BAD BEHAVIOR IN MY CAR: 1. THE ALARM RANDOMLY GOING OFF WHILE PARKED OR WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. 2. WHILE PARKED AND THE ALARM SET THE SUNROOF DECIDED TO OPEN UP DURING A RAINSTORM FILLING MY CAR WITH 3 INCHES OF RAIN. 3. THE 300C DOESN'T USE A THROTTLE CABLE. IT UTILIZES A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR THAT COMMUNICATES WITH THE CPU OVER THE CCN BUS. JUST TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL WAS THE SAME AS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. IT'S A GOOD THING THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD AND I WAS CLOSE TO HOME. SINCE THIS IS CCN 2-WIRE TWISTED PAIR BUS COMMUNICATION ISSUE ANYTHING THAT COMMUNICATES WITH THE CPU CAN HAVE A RANDOM INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. SINCE THESE CARS ARE GETTING OLDER I HAVE TO THINK THAT THERE ARE OTHER CARS THAT ARE OR WILL HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES. PRAY TO GOD THAT YOUR THROTTLE DOESN'T STICK WIDE OPEN LIKE MINE DID. I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOT BURIED ON THE BRAKE WHILE I WAS SCREAMING DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. HAVE FUN COMING TO A STOP OR DRIVING HOME AFTER THAT HAPPENS. FORMALLY I WAS AN I2C BUS COMMUNICATIONS(2 WIRE BUS) EXPERT AT BOTH INTEL CORP AND CISCO SYSTEMS. I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. TODAY I TALKED WITH A BREMERTON CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP TECHNICAL SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. BOTTOM-LINE OVER $3000 TO FIX. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE THAT IS DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS FACTORY DEFECT AND NO ONE IS THE WISER. WHY NOT A FACTORY RECALL ISSUE?

ENGINE
WHENEVER I DO A QUICK ACCELERATION, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR TEMPORARILY LOSE POWER. WHEN THE CAR LOSE POWER, I CANNOT CONTROL IT, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON NO CODES ARE STORED. ALSO, I HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. FOR THE MOST PART, THIS PROBLEM MOSTLY OCCUR DURING ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED AND THROTTLE BODY CLEANED BUT THE PROBLEM PRESIST. FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE REGULAR THROUGHOUT THE CHRYSLER/DODGE FAMILY. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE LOSE THEIR LIFE IN AN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT.
