POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DOWN SHIFTING, THE VEHICLE WOULD COME OUT OF GEAR AND INDEPENDENTLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN TUBE LEAKED WATER INTO THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC ADVISED HIM THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE TO THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING CAR WITH GASOLINE, CAR BEGINS TO STALL AND SHUT OFF. THE CAR WILL START UP AGAIN, BUT SHUTS OFF FREQUENTLY UNTIL THE GASOLINE BURNS. THEN IT RIDE NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I JUST DO NOT FILL THE CAR ANYMORE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S SO UNEXPECTED. IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2005 CHRYSLER 300C DIED IN TRAFFIC SHORTLY AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK FULL OF GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DIED THREE MORE TIMES IN TRAFFIC BEFORE RUNNING FINE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWED THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THIS VEHICLE AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK TO FULL. APPARENTLY RAW GASOLINE (RATHER THAN VAPORS) GETS INTO THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM AND ENTERS THE ENGINE, CREATING A RICH FUEL SITUATION AND THE STALLING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
ENGINE STALLED AT SLOW SPEED IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. ENGINE WAS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO RESTART BECAUSE IT WAS FLOODED. ENGINE STALLING HAPPENED AT LEAST FIVE TIMES BEFORE ENOUGH GAS WAS BURNED OFF TO PREVENT THE CONDITION. NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THE INTERNET INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAPPENS WHEN RAW FUEL FROM THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM IS INGESTED THROUGH THE THROTTLE BODY. THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM SHOULD ONLY CONVEY FUMES BUT A FAILURE ALLOWS IT TO CARRY RAW FUEL TO THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS CONDITION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE INSTIGATED TO ENSURE THAT RAW FUEL CAN NEVER REACH THE THROTTLE BODY VIA THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. *TR

SUDDENLY COULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD TRY TO WALK ME THROUGH TRYING TO GET THE TRIM AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT APART TO GET TO THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE THAT IS TYPICALLY THE PROBLEM AND RIG IT SO IT COULD BE MOVED OR DEALER SAID I COULD CALL TOW TRUCK AND THEY TYPICALLY KNOW HOW TO GET IT STARTED. I GOT A RIDE HOME, LOOKED ON INTERNET AND SAW MANY POSTINGS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. WENT BACK TO THE CAR, FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE INTERNET TO GET TO THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE, USED A SCREWDRIVER TO MANEUVER THE SHIFTER CABLE TO GET OUT OF PARK AND DROVE IT HOME. THEN I DISCOVERED THE K39 RECALL NOTICE ON INTERNET. CALLED DEALER NEXT DAY, WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN ISN'T COVERED BY K39 AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT IT BUT WOULD LIKELY COST ABOUT $300. I CONTACTED MANUFACTURER AND INDICATED I WANTED REPAIR AT NO COST IF I TOOK TO DEALER JUST LIKE CUSTOMERS COVERED BY RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT UNLESS RECALL WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY VIN, I'D HAVE TO TAKE TO DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. MANUFACTURER MADE NO GUARANTEE ABOUT COST TO BE DIAGNOSED/REPAIRED OR IF IT WOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE FOLLOWING DIAGNOSIS. THE K39 RECALL LETTER INCLUDES STATEMENT ABOUT IMPROVING OWNERSHIP SATISFACTION AND IMPROVEMENTS IN EVERY VEHICLE THEY BUILD. APPARENTLY, SATISFACTION OF OWNERS LIKE ME WHOSE VEHICLES HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN RECALL DOESN'T MATTER AND THEY APPARENTLY AREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT IMPROVING EVERY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY MISSED MINE. REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED THANKS TO INTERNET WHERE WE FOUND INFORMATION THAT WE FOLLOWED. WE SAVED TOWING CHARGE & DEALER REPAIR COST ESTIMATED IN EXCESS OF $300. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, INTERIOR LIGHTING
A/C HAS NEVER RAN COLD SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WE WENT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO SEE IF IT WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT EACH TIME THE DEALER CLAIMED NO RECALL ON THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C A/C SYSTEM, WE EVEN CHECKED THE WEB FOR RECALLS BUT WE FOUND NOTHING. I FOUND THE PROBLEM MYSELF IN JULY 2005, IT SEEMS THAT THIS VEHICLE CAME WITH BAD SCHRADER VALVES HIGH AND LOW, OVER THE YEARS I JUST ADDED FREON, BUT NOW THE LEAK IS SO BAD IT WON'T HOLD A CHARGE MORE THAN 5 DAYS, WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO CLAIMED THE A/C SYSTEM WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A FULL EVAC OF THE SYSTEM, REPLACEMENT OF THE BAD SCHRADER VALVES PLUS LABOR AND TAXES. WE CHOOSE NOT TO HAVE THE WORK DONE BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE INVOLVED. OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH LOWER TIE ROD ENDS, THE TIE ROD ENDS THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE LOOK REALLY CHEAP AS WELL AS THE AFTER MARKET PARTS. WE HAD THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WORKED ON TWICE, EACH TIME JUST BEFORE THE STABILITY LIGHT COME ON WE NOTICE THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKER CONSTANTLY, THE DASH LIGHTS HAS ALWAYS FLICKERED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT CLAIMS REPLACING THE STABILITY PART IN THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, AS OF TODAY JUNE 20, 2012 THE DASH LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING AGAIN WHICH MEANS ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALER.

JUST FUELED THE CAR AND LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION AND THE CAR STALLED. VEHICLE KEPT STALLING AS I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. HAD TO BE TOWED. ALSO, EACH TIME I HAVE FILLED THE CAR UP SINCE, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THE CAR SPUTTERS, SHUTS DOWN. ONCE RESTARTED I HAVE TO REV THE GAS AND BLOW THE ENGINE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET THE GAS FLOWING IN A MANNER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR

TOOK CAR IN BECAUSE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING UP. WATER WAS IN TRANSMISSION WITHOUT IT EVER BEING IN A FLOOD OR HIGH WATER. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAINED AND REPLACED TWICE TO REMOVE WATER. 2000 MILES LATER TRANSMISSION WENT OUT COMPLETELY. CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE EITHER UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO TELL ME HOW WATER GOT IN THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT IT EVER BEING IN A FLOOD OR HIGH WATER. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DESIGN OF THE CAR WITHOUT A DIP STICK TO CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID. NOR ARE THEY WILLING TO HELP WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER ALL DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THEIR 300C MODELS. NO MORE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS FOR ME. *TR

2 DIFFERENT TIMES THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OUT OF PARK AND STRANDS ME. I HAVE SEEN MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS.ALSO AND CRYSLER RECALLED CHARGERS AND DODGES BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED THE CHRYSTER 300'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A CHEAP PART THAT BREAKS AND CAUSES THE GEAR LOCK UP AND THE WHOLE STEERING ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED PER CHRYSLER AT A HIGH PRICE. SHOULD BE RECALL AS WITH CHARGERS AND DODGE PRODUCTS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EARLY BUILD 2005 300C WITH LOW MILES PURCHASED USED 3/11. DRIVEN PRIMARILY AS A HIGHWAY CAR RECENTLY WE STARTED USE MORE IN TOWN. I HAD READ ALL THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS HAD WITH WINDOWS (NOT WORKING) AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND HAD BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES BUT NOT THE ENGINE STALL ISSUE UNTIL OCTOBER. I READ ABOUT NOT FILLING ONE OUNCE BEYOND WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF BUT MY OBSERVATION IS EVEN THAT NOW IS TOO MUCH. WHENEVER THE CAR IS FILLED UP, IT WILL STALL/SHUT DOWN 3-6 TIMES IN THE NEXT 2-3 MILES OF CITY DRIVING. NO STUTTER, JUST SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. I'VE TRIED SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND RACING THE ENGINE WHEN PULLING UP TO STOP SIGNS TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING, WITH LIMITED SUCCESS. NOT THAT I AM RECOMMENDING THAT BUT BETTER THAN DYING WHEN YOU EXPECT IT TO ACCELERATE. A SOMEWHAT SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WHEN GETTING ONTO THE ON-RAMP BUT MORE OF A STUTTER SITUATION THAN ACTUALLY STALLING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ IT IS TOO MUCH GAS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE VIA EMISSIONS HOSE FROM TANK SO COMPUTER DOES NOT COMPENSATE WITH MORE AIR (ENGINE RACING WOULD BE THE RESULT) SO IT FLOODS OUT AS IN CHOKING OUT A LAWN MOWER FROM DECADES AGO TO GET IT TO STOP RUNNING. I'VE OWNED 50 CARS AND THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED BECAUSE OF THIS REASON. EVEN KNOWING IT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN DOES NOT HELP SO I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THE CAR.... IF THEY WERE TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN IN TRAFFIC AFTER FILLING THE TANK IT WOULD BE A FIREBALL WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT'S A VERY NICE CAR TO DRIVE ONCE YOU GET THE STEERING (CRADLE SHIFT AND WEIRD CAMBER SETTINGS) ACCOMPLISHED BUT WE ARE LEAVING IT PRETTY MUCH ONLY FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING AND MANUALLY CALCULATING HOW MUCH GAS HAS BEEN USED AND SO AS TO LEAVE THE TANK 2-3 GALLONS SHORT OF FULL WHEN FILLING IT UP. PAIN IN THE REAR TO BE SURE BUT BETTER THAN MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF SOMEONE AND HAVING THE ENGINE DIE... ALONG WITH YOU. *TR

I FIRST HAD PROBLEMS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN I COULD NOT GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK. THIS HAPPENED PERIODICALLY. I WAS ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT INTO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THE TWO PROBLEMS WERE UNRELATED. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST SAID MY SHIFTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AT THE TIME, SO I TOLD THEM TO REPLACE IT. LATER, I HAPPENED ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER ISSUED BY CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER COULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH THE DATE OF ISSUE OF THIS NOTIFICATION. THE NOTIFICATION STATES IT APPLIES TO "SOME 2005 THROUGH 2007 MODEL YEAR DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR SHIFTER." IT REFERS TO AN "INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE ''PARK'' POSITION." IT FURTHER STATES "IF YOU HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS CONDITION AND HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, PLEASE SEND YOUR ORIGINAL RECEIPTS...ONCE WE RECEIVE AND VERIFY THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE SENT TO YOU WITHIN 60 DAYS." I SENT IN THE REQUESTED MATERIALS. I WAS INFORMED CHRYSLER WOULD NOT REIMBURSEMENT ME BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I FIND THIS HARD TO ACCEPT. THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVERS, BUT FOR SOME REASON CHRYSLER IS ONLY RECALLING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS, NOT ALL OF THEM. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO COMPLETELY UNLOCK AND OPEN EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD DO THE SAME. I HAVE EVEN HAD THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR BEHAVE THIS WAY. I AM WRITING NOW, BECAUSE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ALMOST NEVER UNLOCKS AND OPENS ANYMORE. WITH BOTH BACK DOORS NOT UNLOCKING AND OPENING, IT CONCERNS ME GREATLY THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD I NEED TO IMMEDIATELY GAIN ACCESS FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE REAR PASSENGERS NEED TO GET OUT FROM THE INSIDE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE DOORS TO OPEN IS TO PULL UP EXTREMELY HARD ON THE DOOR LOCK POSTS. *TR

I AM AN AUTO TECH AT DEALERSHIP IN KS. AFTER 3 REPEATED INCIDENTS, I DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION. ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FRONT BUMPER THE FOG LIGHTS GET HOT AND EVENTUALLY DETACH FROM THE LENS. THE 2ND AND 3RD TIME I HAVE NOTICED SCORCHING ON THE VEHICLE'S FRONT BUMPER WHERE THE BULBS STARTED TO MELT THE MATERIAL. THE 4TH VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE TO THE BUMPER AND IT SPREAD TO THE ENGINE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE WITHOUT ANYBODY ATTENDING THE VEHICLE AND MORE IN A HOUSE GARAGE. IT DID NOT TAKE VERY LONG TO MELT AND IGNITE. *TR
