STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
2006 CHRYSLER 300. BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO DRIVE. THE CAR STARTING STUMBLING AND STALLING AT RANDOM TIMES, AND SPEEDS, ONCE WHILE DRIVING AT 80 MPH THE RPMS DROPPED TO 0 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED; IT ALWAYS JUST FLASHES. THEN JUST AS FAST AS THE RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO IT CAME RIGHT BACK UP. THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD LIKE I FLOORED THE PEDDLE. I HAVE MANAGED TO CAPTURE THIS ON VIDEO, BECAUSE IT WENT ON ACTING THIS WAY FOR SEVERAL MILES. THEN IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 150 MILES. THEN. IT RETURNED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY SAY NO CODES NO PROBLEM, THE FORTH TIME IT HAPPENED I GOT A CODE U0100 AND P0700. WITH MY SCAN TOOL BUT AGAIN DEALER SAYS THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THERE IS NO CODES. WHEN ASKED HOW WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IF THERE WERE NO CODES. THE ANSWER WAS THEY DID NOT KNOW. THIS PROBLEM STILL IS PRESENT TO THIS DAY. IT STILL STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. RATHER ITS PARKED OR RUNNING 80. THE CAR USE TO RESTART OK BUT NOW THE RESTARTING IS BECOMING AN ISSUE. I JUST MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT ON IT A FEW DAYS AGO. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A DODGE DEALER. HERE'S WHAT I AM GOING TO DO. ITS WELL DOCUMENTED (BY ME AND THE DEALER) THAT THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM. THEY SAY ITS SAFE, THEY SAY NO CODES NO PROBLEMS. SO IM GOING TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT AND IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG (HEAVEN FORBID) CHRYSLER WILL BE FUNDING MY RETIREMENT. SO THANKS CHRYSLER. I'M TRUSTING YOU AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVES. YOU SAY NO CODES NO PROBLEM. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS ANOTHER PIECE OF DOCUMENTATION. *TR

CAR WILL NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. IT IS DUE TO A SMALL SOLENOID INSIDE THE GEAR SHIFT CONTROL. MANY OTHER 300S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS, BUT BECAUSE OF WHERE THE ONE IN MY CAR WAS MADE, I AM NOT "ELIGIBLE" FOR A RECALL. HAS IT OCCURRED TO ANYONE AT CHRYSLER THAT PERHAPS THE DESIGN OF THE PART, AND NOT WHERE IT IS MANUFACTURED IS FAULTY??? *TR

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS
SOME TIME AGO- ABOUT FIVE YEARS ,I PURCHASED A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING FROM FRANKLIN AUTOMALL- MALL IN FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP -WHAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ENDLESS TIMES AND CONCERN THAT THE LUG NUTS THAT HOLD THE WHEELS ON ARE (DEFECTIVE) I HAVE PURCHASE A SET OF NEW LUG NUTS IN THE PAST LAST SET WAS 2013. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THAT I WENT FOR MY BRAKES TO BE LOOKED AT A PEPBOYS ON 3016-2015IN POMTON PLAINS NJ,THE PROBLEM WAS THERE LUG NUTS COULD NOT BE REMOVED. THESE TYPE LUG NUTS- THE OUTER CASING SEPARATES FROM THE LUG NUT ITSELF, AND SPINS AROUND AND AROUND, DIFFICULTY TO REMOVE LUG NUT(S). ANY KIND OF BRAKE REPAIR OR REMOVING OF A WHEEL.IN EVENT OF A FLAT (I WOULD CERTAINLY BE STUCK.) AND AGAIN PAY FOR NEW STUDS TO BE PUT IN.CHRYSLER HAS NOT CHANGED THESE LUG NUTS THAT I AM AWARE OF- TO BETTER AND MORE EFFICIENT ONES, THAT HAS NO OUTER CASTING THAT SPINS -PREVENTING LUG NUTS TO BE REMOVED. REPLACEMENT SETS-- WERE ANOTHER SET OF LUG NUTS FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALER FROM FRANKLIN SUSSEX COUNTY AUTO MALL,I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENTS !!!!!!!...ON THURSDAY 3-25-2015 MY CAR IS GOING TO ANOTHER PEPBOYS FOR BRAKES TO BE LOOKED AT IN VERONA NJ. IM SURE I WILL BE THE ONE GETTING STUCK WITH THE BILL .FOR NEW STUDS.IN CLOSING THE PEP BOYS IN POMPTON PLAINS HAD A HARD TOME TO GET THEM OFF AND THE TWO WERE MANGLED I MANAGED TO GET ONE OFF WITH NOT GREAT EASE AT ALL.TWO IN TOTAL-THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL CORRECT THIS CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THESE BRAND OF LUG NUTS,THE OUTER CASTINGS DON'T HOLD UP IN ANY KIND OF WEATHER AND SMOOTH OUT CONSTANTLY.CREATING THIS OVER AND OVER PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GAS, THE CAR STALLS AND DIES IN TRAFFIC AND AFTER STOPPING AT LIGHT. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THEY MUST VERIFY THAT IT HAPPENS. WELL AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS, THEY SAY THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SO THEREFORE WILL NOT PERFORM THE REPLACEMENT. VERY DANGEROUS AND FRUSTRATING!! SO WILL WAIT UNTIL ACCIDENT HAPPENS OR RECALL IFS FINALLY ISSUED!!!! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4-5 TIMES IN 3 DAYS. *TR
