THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON, SOMETIMES WHILE ITS PARKED IDLING AND OTHER TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I'VE HAD TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS TRY AND FIX WITHOUT SUCCESS. I'VE SPENT OVER A $1000 DOLLARS IN "REPAIRS" AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT FROM THE STORE IN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. WIFE TRIED HARD TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. SHE TRIED HARD TO CONTROL CAR TO AVOID POLES AND TREES AND HIT HARD IN DITCH. AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. WIFE SUFFERED CONTUSIONS AND BRUISES. CAR WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS BY INSURANCE COMPANY. TRIED TO NOTIFY MANUFACTURER TO REPORT THE FAILURE AND JUST KEPT GETTING A RUN AROUND FROM THEM. APPARENTLY THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. I SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL WAS EVER ISSUED.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IN REVERSE. I CAN RESTART IT WITH NO PROBLEM AS LONG AS I IMMEDIATELY STEP ON THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT & BACK TO DRIVE. WHEN I TURN THE KEY I DO NOT HEAR THE FUEL PUMP LIKE I USED TOO! I'VE HAD REPAIRS COSTING$509.96 AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! I THINK MY FUEL PUMP IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY OR ABOUT TO STOP WORKING! IS THERE A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP?

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED 2 WEEKS AGO. INITIALLY THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE UNTIL I FILLED IT UP WITH FUEL. AS SOON AS I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION MY VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AS IF I WAS LOSING POWER TO MY VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW MILES THE STALLING STOPPED. IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS THE STALLING HAS BECOME WORSE EVERY TIME I PUMP FUEL. IT SHUTS OFF IF I'M IDLE AT A LIGHT, IT SHUTS OFF WHEN I'M ATTEMPTING TO PARK, TURN LEFT, OR IN A DRIVE THRU. AS SOON AS I WOULD CRANK MY VEHICLE UP AND GO TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WON'T MOVE UNTIL AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT JUST JERKS OUT BEFORE A SMOOTH DRIVE. YESTERDAY I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE AFTER INFORMING THE USED CAR SALES LOT WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE AND WANTED TO KEEP MY CAR FOR A WEEK. AFTER 10 HOURS OF TRYING TO FIND THE ISSUE THEY STATED THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK FOR 2006 CHRYSLER 300S. HE SAID THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND I SHOULD BE ON MY WAY. SO I WAS RELIEVED TO HEAR THE GREAT NEWS COMING FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. WELL AFTER HEADING HOME AND 20 MILES OUT FROM THE DEALERSHIP THERE GOES THE STALLING AGAIN LAST NIGHT. MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT THE LIGHT AND AGAIN AS SOON AS I ATTEMPTED TO PARK MY VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY. IN ADDITION TO THE FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE IS CAUSING ANOTHER ISSUE THAT I TRULY FEE WASN'T INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY. I NOTICED A RECALL ON 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WHERE THE STALLING WAS CAUSED BY THE FUEL SYSTEM, TCM, AND PCM MODULE BASICALLY DEALING WITH THE POWER TRAIN AND THIS IS VERY HIGHLY THE SAME ISSUE GOING ON WITH 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THERE SHOULD'VE BEEN A RECALL ON BOTH AND THERE ISN'T. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WHEN I STALLED ONTO THE FREEWAY I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER TRUCK ON LAST WEEK. THE TCM AND PCM CODES ALONG WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM CODE WERE SHOWING IN THE DIAGNOSTIC ISSUE YESTERDAY. HELP PLEASE
