FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2006 CHRYSLER 300C DIES SEVERAL TIMES AFTER REFUELING, WHICH OBVIOUSLY DISABLES THE POWER STEERING. THIS WILL HAPPEN UP TO 10 TIMES AND THEN THE CAR WILL RUN PROPERLY UNTIL THE NEXT REFUELING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 18 MONTHS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR SHUTS OFF AFTER FILLING, WAS JUST EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE STARTING 2 YEARS AGO, BUT NOW IT SHUTS OFF AFTER EVERY FILL UP, AND WHEN IT SHUTS OFF THEN THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. WILL SHUT OFF AS SOON AS I LEAVE THE GAS STATION, AND WILL CONTINUE EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN, FOR APPROX.10 MILES. AFTER BEING REAR ENDED IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT, DUE TO I STARTED TO MOVE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF, BUT THE PERSON BEHIND ME DIDN'T REALIZE MY CAR QUIT AND LIGHTLY HIT ME. I HAVE LEARNED THAT I CAN NO LONGER FILL UP AT ANY GAS STATION, I HAVE TO FILL UP WHERE I KNOW I CAN JUST DRIVE WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN FOR ABOUT 10 MILES. THE CAR WILL STILL SHUDDER LIKE IT ISN'T GETTING GAS, BUT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT FROM SHUTTING OFF TOTALLY AND TRYING TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED AGAIN. I WORRY WHAT DAMAGE IS BEING DONE TO THE REST OF MY CAR WHEN IT SHUDDERS LIKE THAT THOUGH. I SEE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER 2005 300C OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL HAS HAPPENED YET. HOPE THE RECALL HAPPENS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED POSTCARD STATING OUR CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED AND SAYING TO TAKE IN FOR REPAIR. I CANNOT FIND THAT POSTCARD AND WHEN I CALL DEALER THEY SAY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED THEREFORE I CANNOT BRING IN FOR REPAIR. WHY DID I RECEIVE THIS POSTCARD IF REPAIR NOT NEEDED AND WHY DOES EVERYTHING SAY CHRYSLER 300 2015 ARE AFFECTED AND THEY SAY IT IS NOT ON RECALL LIST? I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE A CAR THAT'S DANGEROUS!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE STRANGE SOUNDS WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I QUICKLY DROVE IT TO ANOTHER PARKING LOT WHERE THE ENGINE JUST QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE SYSTEM. I HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TAKE IT TO A AUTOMOTIVE GARAGE WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY, WHICH WAS FAIRLY NEW, WITH A NEW ONE BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T HOLD A CHARGE. . I'M GLAD I WASN'T DRIVING THE CAR WHEN IT QUIT. THE TOTAL BILL WAS A LITTLE OVER $850 FOR THE TOW, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY AND LABOR. IS THIS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY?

POWER TRAIN
PROBLEM: MOMENTARY LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE AND ETC LIGHTS FLASH. SOMETIMES STALLS COMPLETELY (WHEN VERY SLOW OR STOPPED). IT HAS STOPPED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE TURNING. TO STALL WHILE TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC IS UNSAFE. PARTS REPLACED SO FAR: GAS TANK (RECALL) GAS PUMP ACCELERATOR PEDAL DIAGNOSIS: APPARENT INTERMITTENT CONNECTION AT THE PCM. LAST REPAIR ATTEMPT(11/29/17) THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED THE CONNECTION BY ALIGNING THE PINS (APPARENTLY SOME HAD PUSHED THROUGH THE BOARD) & CLEANING THE CONNECTION. IT HAS WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS SINCE THEN, BUT IS FAILING AGAIN. THE TECHNICIAN NOW SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE), POSSIBLY DUE TO BROKEN SOLDER JOINTS ON THE BOARD THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO PCMS AVAILABLE FROM DEALERS AND THERE ARE 67 UNITS ON BACKORDER IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS . . . MANY WITH SIMILAR FAILURE MODES. FROM THE REPAIR SHOP: "DIAGNOSED AND TRACED MULTIPLE FAULTS TO COMMUNICATION LOSS AT POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. REMOVED UNIT FROM HOLDER AND WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING IF THE UNIT IT TAPPED OR SHAKEN THE ENGINE WILL STUMBLE OR STALL. - CONTACTED COMPUTER REPAIR SHOP AND THIS IS VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR SEVERAL CHRYSLER IN LAST MONTH OR SO . THE MAIN PROCESSOR GETS LOOSE ON CIRCUIT BOARD BUT THE CONTACTS ARE SO TINY REPAIR IS NOT POSSIBLE. NO LOCAL DEALERS HAVE UNIT AND THERE ARE 67 ON BACK ORDER IN LAST WEEKS."

CAR LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION.EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED UP. STRANDED FOR 2 HOURS WAITING FOR AAA. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR. WE TOOK THE CAR TO OLIVER C JOSEPH CHRYSLER IN BELLEVILLE, IL. THEY SAY - THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THEY CAN ORDER THE PARTSBUT WE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND WAIT TO GET REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER. AT LEAST $850 IN REPAIRS. I CAN'T PAY $850! WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO IF THIS IS A RECALL. THE DEALER CONFIRMS THIS WAS AN ALTERNATOR FIRE. I NEED CHRYSLER TO FIX MY CAR.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT SHUTS OFF OR STALLS AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. IT HAS TRIED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, STALLED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ETC. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. WE TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND THE CAR DID NOT STALL WHILE IT WAS THERE SO THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. I HAVE A VIDEO THAT I CAN SHARE BUT I CANNOT UPLOAD IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
2006 CHRYSLER 300C | ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING | POSSIBLY TIPM-RELATED I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C JUST SHORT OF 6 MONTHS AGO. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK, AS I WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THE IGNITION COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHILE THE POWER WAS STILL ACTIVE, I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL I TURNED OVER THE VEHICLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THINKING IT WAS POSSIBLY A FRINGE ISSUE I IGNORED TO ISSUE. FAST FORWARDING TO TODAY, MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED ROUGHLY 25-50 OCCURRENCES OF THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT ONLY SEEMS TO WORK WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT AND WHAT CONCERNS ME MOST IS THAT EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I AM ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MY WIFE AND FIVE CHILDREN.
