ENGINE FAILURE. NO WARNING LIGHTS. ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING ON LESS THE 8 CYLINDERS. I PULLED INTO THE FIRST GAS STATION TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECK ALL FLUID LEVELS (ALL FINE). STARTED THE MOTOR, WOULD NOT IDLE AND DIED. TURNED THE KEY AGAIN AND HEARD THE MOTOR COMPLETELY CLUNK AROUND OUT OF SYNC. THAT WAS THE END OF MY 2006 300C

ENGINE
DROPPED INTAKE VALVE SEATS ON THIS HEMI ENGINE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE HEMI ENGINES FROM THIS TIME PERIOD. STOPPED AT THE STORE FOR 20 MINUTES, CAME OUT AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AND ALL I HEARD WAS METAL ON METAL AS THE ENGINE TRIED TO TURN OVER. ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR NEED TO BUY ANOTHER REBUILT ENGINE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS LAST YEAR. CAR WOULD CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, CUT OFF WHILE IN A TURN AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, DEALER STATED IT WAS PCM. HAD THE CONTROL MODULE FIXED ($1000 REPAIR) AND NOW RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WANTS TO CUT OFF AT ALL SPEEDS. TODAY, MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE GAS STATION AND IT CUT OFF ON HIM AND THEN WOULDN'T START BACK UP. IT STARTED UP A FEW MIN AFTER SITTING BUT TRAFFIC WAS TOO BUSY SO WE WERE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. IT IS STILL PARKED AT THE GAS STATION AND WE ARE HOPING WELL BE ABLE TO GET IT HOME BEFORE HAVING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS 1 1/2 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE WE ASSUMED IT WAS MISFIRING (WHEN IT WAS WANTING TO CUT OFF). WE'VE CHANGED THE CAMSHAFT (PRIOR TO HAVING THE PCM REPLACED) AND EGR VALVE AS WELL. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT HAVE STILL ATTEMPTED TO GET CODES READ... NO CODES. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD A HAND IN MAKING..... HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE YOU REALIZE THAT THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE... BUT I GUESS YOU'D RATHER A LAWSUIT ON YOUR HANDS FOR A DEATH RATHER THEN FIXING ALL THESE CARS THE RIGHT WAY. #UNSATISFIEDBUYER TOOK A SHOT AT THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR AND AM SADLY DISAPPOINTED 2006 300C 5.7L HEMI. WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR IF YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT.

THE SHIFT INTERLOCK LEVER HAD THE RETURN LEVER SPRING HOOK BREAK OFF. THIS LEFT THE SHIFTER LOCKED IN PARK. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AT HOME. I WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE SHIFTER HOWEVER THE CAR IS SHOWING THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO THE SEAT WILL NOT FULLY ADJUST AND THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL (K39) ON THIS ITEM FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR, HOWEVER I WAS INFORMED BY MY DEALER THAT MY CAR DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE BUILD DATE TO QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. I HAVE THE RIGHT YEAR AND MODEL AND THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY. I FEEL THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER-NOTIFICATION CODE K39. THERE IS A RECALL LETTER THAT CHRYSLER IS CIRCULATING ABOUT "TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER" DESCRIBING THE ISSUE OF A BROKEN SPRING HOOK IN THE SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY AND IF IT BREAKS, IT WOULD PREVENT THE DRIVER TO SHIFT THE CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE. MY CAR IS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C AND SUFFERED FROM THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND CHRYSLER'S GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER 1-800-853-1403 AND THEY BOTH SAID THAT MY CAR BECAUSE ITS A CANADIAN MODEL, DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL.
