UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STUCK IN PARK. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. HE TOLD ME HOW TO BYPASS THE PROBLEM TO DRIVE IT TO A MECHANIC. THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $427.08. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED OR KNOW WHY MY CAR WAS NOT IN THE RECALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK. THE STALLING ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW. ONLINE FORUMS DESCRIBE A KNOWN FUEL TANK GAS FUME EVAC SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. ONLY KNOWN FIX IS REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE GAS TANK. IF TANK IS FILLED ONLY 3/4'S FULL, THE STALLING DOES NOT OCCUR. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE DEFECTIVE GAS FUME EVAC SYSTEM AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANKS. CARS STALLING IN TRAFFIC IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON FILLING UP THE CAR WITH GAS, THE CAR STALLED LESS THAN 500FT FROM THE GAS STATION. THE CAR RESTARTED AND I DROVE 1/16TH OF A MILE AND AS I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 39300 MILES ON IT.

ENGINE
EVERY TIME I COMPLETELY FILL MY TANK MY CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR DRIVING. AFTER A FEW TIMES RESTARTING THE ENGINE IT WILL BE FINE UNTIL I FILL THE TANK AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOSTLY WHEN THE TANK GOES BELOW 1 QUARTER OF THE TANK. I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS BEFORE FROM OTHER MAKES ABOUT A FUEL FLOAT VALVE IN THE TANK THAT CAN SEND A SIGNAL TO YOUR COMPUTER THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL? THERE IS DEFINITELY A DANGER IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN REFUELING OUR VEHICLE, USING THE CORRECT GRADE OF GAS, NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK AND ALLOWING THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN FILLED, WE ARE EXPERIENCING LIFE THREATENING EPISODES OF STALLING OUT WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM A GAS STATION, OR IDLING IN TRAFFIC, TURNING CORNERS, AND ENTERING RAMPS TO THE HIGHWAY IT WILL STALL AND CHOKE WHEN WE TRY TO START IT BACK UP. WE WAIT APPROXIMATELY 3-5 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING A RESTART WITHOUT ENGAGING THE GAS PEDAL. BUT STILL NOTHING HAPPENS. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF WE FORCIBLY HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE YOU LOSE POWER TO YOUR BRAKES, STEERING, ETC. AND JUST PRAY THAT NOBODY GETS INJURED. DURING THE STALL OUT THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWN ON THE DASHBOARD. ONCE WE FINALLY GET IT TO HOLD A START, WE MUST AT HIGH IDLE DRIVE FAST AS POSSIBLE, GETTING OFF THE MAIN ROAD/HIGHWAY/CITY STREET TO IMMEDIATELY GARAGE THE CAR. THEN WE HAVE TO HAVE IT RUN WITH THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN FOR AT LEAST 2.0 HOURS. AND THEN WE CAUTIOUSLY DRIVE IT WITH ME FOLLOWING MY HUSBAND TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T STALL OUT AGAIN. ONCE WE GET PASS THIS STALLING-OUT PERIOD THE CAR BEHAVES PROPERLY, AND WE HAVE NO FURTHER ISSUES UNTIL WE REFUEL AGAIN ON A WEEKLY BASIS. WE ONLY HAVE THIS REFUELING ISSUE WHEN FILLING THE CAR. IT INDEED IS A PROBLEM THAT THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC DISCUSSED IN THE LETTER WE RECEIVED MAY 8, 2014, IN THE 2ND PARAGRAPH "THE AFFECTED VEHICLE POPULATION MAY EXPERIENCE A CONDITION WHERE THE FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT, IN THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE STICKS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE STALLING AFTER REFUELING. THIS STATEMENT FOR US IS DEFINITELY OUR PROBLEM. AND WE ARE PLANNING TO ADDRESS IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP ASAP. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY WEEK. THE LAST TIME WAS OCTOBER 30TH 2015. WE HAVE NOW ONLY FILLED IT TO THE 3/4 MARK AND IT HAS STOPPED STALLING OUT TEMPORARILY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING, WITH NO WARNINGS ON THE DASHBOARD. IT JUST SHUT OFF. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF THE GARAGE ONE MORNING THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO KEPT IT FOR TWO DAYS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE IT. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN IT DE-ACCELERATES WHILE TURNING TO THE RIGHT. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS THE CAR ACTUALLY STOPPED. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NO PROBLEM REGISTERS AND CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED UNLESS THEY MECHANIC CAN GET IT TO DUPLICATE. NOW, THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. IT DROVE FINE, I GOT HOME PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE AND WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE AGAIN, GOT INTO THE VEHICLE TO START IT UP AND IT WILL NOT START. NO MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD. THE LIGHTS TURN ON YET IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. AT LEAST THIS TIME WHEN EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE I WAS SAFELY HOME AND NOT ON THE STREET, OR HIGHWAY DRIVING AS I HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I REALIZE THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY IN PLACE TO FIX, BUT I AM BEING INFORMED BY MY DEALERSHIP AND BY MY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE REP REP THAT MY AIRBAG CAN NOT BE REPAIRED UNTIL DECEMBER 2016 THAT IS OVER A YEAR FROM NOW AND 19 MONTHS FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL OF MAY 29, 2015 AIRBAG RECALL NUMBER 15V-313 THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A BIG RECALL, BUT MY ISSUE IS THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE ONLY FIXING ONE CAR A WEEK PER (CHRYSLER) REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY PARTS ARE SENT TO DEALERS. IF THIS TRULY A "SAFETY RECALL" HOW IS THAT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN? I HAVE ALL DATES AND TIMES OF WHO I HAVE SPOKEN TO AT CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CHRYSLER 300C HAS BEEN STALLING EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. IVE TAKEN IT TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS. ONE OF THEM CHARGED ME MORE THEN $300 FOR NOTHING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T EVEN FIND THE PROBLEM BUT ENDED UP CHARGING ME FOR THE TIME. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP CHANGED MY FUEL TANK THAT CHRYSLER GAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS STILL STALLING AT EVERY STOP I MAKE. I THINK THE PROBLEM ISN'T WITH THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE IT DID NOT FIX THE STALLING ISSUE. I THINK THAT ITS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WIRING OR COMPUTER. I ALSO THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAS TANK BUT ITS CLEARLY NOT. WHY SHOULD I BE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A FAULTY PROBLEM THAT ISNT MY FAULT. I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR AND ITS ONLY GOT 140,000KM ON IT. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A CHEAPER WAY TO HANDLE WITH THIS ISSUE OTHER THEN SPENDING HOURS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM NOT ME. THE CAR HAS DIED ON ME WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION. THAT IS NOT SAFE AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THEN 20 TIMES. I ALSO FEEL LIKE IM DAMAGING MY CAR EVERYTIME I HAVE TO TURN IT BACK ON. IT ALSO GUZZLES THE GAS MORE JUST BY TURNING IT BACK ON EVERYTIME. PLEASE GET CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IF THE CAR STILL HAS THE STALLING ISSUE AFTER GETTING THE GAS TANK CHANGED THEN ATLEAST GET CHRYSLER TO FIND THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO ME.

CALLED CHRYSLER (1-800-CHRYSLER) ABOUT VEHICLE STALLING AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK AFTER VEHICLE REPEATEDLY STALLED AFTER FILLING UP. I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C AWD W/ 5.7L HEMI V8. GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED NHTSA ACTION #PE13016 EXTENDING GAS TANK WARRANTY OF ALL 2006 HEMI-ENGINED 300'S. CHRYSLER REP ON THE PHONE TOLD ME NO SUCH WARRANTY EXISTED AFTER CHECKING WITH SUPERVISOR. HAD TO CALL LOCAL DEALERSHIP (GURNEE DODGE) WHO WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT YES SAID WARRANTY DOES EXIST AND THEY WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING THAT CHRYSLER LIED TO ME. CAR FIRST STALLED ON TRAIN TRACKS NEAR MY HOUSE, AND THE GATES ON THE CROSSING STARTED TO CLOSE JUST AS I GOT THE CAR TO CLEAR THE CROSSING! SCARED THE WITS OUT OF ME!
