MY 2006 300M DIES IF YOU FILL THE TANK UNTIL THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES TO US. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR 3 YEARS, AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 10-15 TIMES. IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER FILLING UP AT MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THE CAR STALLS. IT CAN BE RESTARTED, BUT MIGHT STALL MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER THE CAR RUNS FOR A FEW MINUTES OR TRAVELS ABOUT A MILE THE PROBLEM RESOLVES IT SELF. -THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHEN I WAS MERGING ONTO EXPRESSWAYS AFTER FILLING UP. DANGEROUS! THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID, "THEY HADN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, AND TOLD ME NOT TO OVER FILL THE GAS TANK!" IT MUST BE THE OWNERS PROBLEM IF THEY HAVE A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW! *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL THE VEHICLE STALLS ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES. I LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP AND THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT IT WAS VIN SPECIFIC. I REFUELED ON 7 JANUARY 2015, AND WAS TURNING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS TURNING, I PLACED IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT. ABOUT 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT AGAIN STALLED, I LOST POWER STEERING, AND ONCE AGAIN HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. THE AUTOMOBILE STALLED ONE MORE TIME AND THEN RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I AM ACCESSING AN INTERSTATE WHERE THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE MUCH WORSE. *TR

I HAD HEARD OF THE FAULTY ENGINE LIFTER ASSEMBLY WITH THESE 3.5L ENGINES. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MINE UNTIL NOW. STARTED THE CAR UP TO GO TO WORK ABOUT 5:30 AM. HORRIBLE LIFTER TICKING SOUND CAME FROM THE ENGINE. BOUGHT THE CAR AT 91,000 MILES. CHANGED THE OIL BEFORE THE 5,000 MILE RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. CHRYSLER SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX THESE 3.5L ENGINES THROUGH A RECALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C, WHICH IS THE MOTOR TREND CAR FOR THAT YEAR. I REALLY ENJOY THE SPACIOUS ROOM AND POWER OF THIS CAR AND WAS HAPPY TO GET IT BACK IN THE SPRING OF 2005, DIRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY. I HAD BEEN ENJOYING MY CAR UNTIL THE CAR STARTING STALLING. MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT AFTER I FILLED THE GAS TANK. IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE GAS TANK TO BE REPLACED EVERY SINCE I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL LAST YEAR. TO DATE, THE TANK HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT AND STALLING IN TRAFFIC. THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A COUPLE OF DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA WITHOUT ANY HELP FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT A FEW OF THE SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MY CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED. NO HEIP! I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE GEAR SHIFT GETTING STUCK IN DRIVE. AFTER GOING ONTO A CHRYSLER FORUM WHERE MANY OTHER 300 CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING I FOUND A QUICK FIX TO ALLOW ME TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP USING A SCREW DRIVER. LONG STORY BUT YES I HAD TO STICK A SCREW DRIVE INTO THE GEAR BOX TO RELEASE THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND OUT REPAIR COST $175 I WAS INFORMED MY VIN WASN'T A PART OF THE RECALL! NEXT ISSUE THE COOLING FANS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I WAS GETTING SOME FOOD AT DRIVE THRU. AS SOON AS I DRIVE IN LINE I HEARD A LOUD BANG ONE OF THE FANS MOUNTS BECAME LOOSE AND THE FAN BLADES HIT TO SIDE WALL AND BROKE. $500 LATER TO REPLACE AND YES AGAIN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT BUT NOT MY VIN!!!! FINAL STRAW MY SON AND I WHERE DRIVING HOME FROM A GAME IT WAS RAINING. BOTH OF US NOTICE THE SMELL OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENT IT WAS FAINT BUT CONSISTENT. WE LUCKILY DIDN'T HAVE FAR TRAVEL HOME. WHEN I PULLED IN AND TURNED THE CAR OFF I OPENED THE HOOD A LIL BIT SMOKE AND BECAUSE THE RAIN WAS HITTING THE ENGINE IT MADE A LIL BIT MORE OF SMOKE. SO I CLOSED IT AND WENT INSIDE. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED BOTH THE PASSENGER HEAD LIGHT AND FOG LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING. I CHECKED THE FUSES, GOOD. WENT UP TO GET REPLACEMENT BULBS. THE EMPLOYEE AT THE STORE HAD A [XXX] OF A TIME TRYING TO REMOVING THE LIGHT FROM THE HARNESS. WE NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC WAS MELTED AND DIS COLORED. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOT A LOOK AT THE FOG LIGHT HARNESS IT WAS FACTORY FOGS AND THE HARNESS WAS MELTED BLACK PLASTIC. SO I HAD TO ORDER REPLACEMENT FOG LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS $475. IM THANKFUL WE WHERE BLESSED THAT THE CAR DIDN'T FULLY CATCH FIRE BECAUSE NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD REPLACE MY SON!! THERE IS 3 MORE ELECTRIC ISSUES AT THIS TIME!
