FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO, VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AFTER REFUELING. EVERY REFUEL SINCE WITHOUT FAIL THE VEHICLE STALLS. STALLING OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WILL STALL 2-3 TIMES IN A 5 MINUTES PERIOD. THE VEHICLE PERFORMS CORRECTLY ONCE YOU GET PAST THIS STAGE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH (INTERNET) THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER 2006 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS (INCL TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VAN) EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. IT APPEARS THE SEPARATOR VALVE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IS THE CULPRIT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL (NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK) THE CAR STALLED UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE RISK IS INCREDIBLE! THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AS TRAFFIC WAS ALL AROUND ME HONKING AND I WAS NEARLY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND!! ONCE WAS A FLUKE I THOUGHT AND MAYBE BAD GAS. I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY NAVIGATE ON BACK STREETS TO THE HOUSE AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. AGAIN I HAD THE STALLING PROBLEM, LUCKY FOR ME I HAD PICKED A LIGHT TRAFFIC TIME TO FILL UP. I SWITCHED GAS STATIONS AFTER THAT AN NOW ONLY GET GAS AT SHELL STATIONS HEARING THAT THEY HAD THE BEST GAS QUALITY OVERALL. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK FULL. THE STALLING PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING NOW TWO NEEDLE WIDTHS BELOW THE FULL MARK WHICH MEANS SOMETHING IS GETTING WORSE. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK DUE TO A FAULTY VALUE AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. THE COST IS $1,315. THE RISK OF GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AT ANY SPEED IS INCREDIBLE AND VERY REAL!! I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THE FAULTY TANKS. *TR

ENGINE
IN AUGUST OF 2012 MY VEHICLE HAD AROUND 76,000 MILES AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCE MY VEHICLE STALLING OUT AND TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 30MPHS, I PULLED OVER AND TRIED RESTARTING MY VEHICLE AND NOTICE THERE WAS LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE WAS BEHAVING ABNORMAL. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND THAT'S WHEN I HARD A LOUD METALLIC ENGINE NOISE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO PUENTE HILLS CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD NO COMPRESSION IN A FEW CYLINDERS, DUE TO THEIR BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP THAT TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLE'S WITH THE 5.7L ENGINES. AFTER DIAGNOSING AND TAKING THE VALVE COVERS OFF THEY FOUND THE VALVE SEATS HAD DROPPED AND BENT THE VALVES. TOTAL COST WAS $3,500. NOW, NOVEMBER 28, 2013 WITH 100,995 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, VEHICLE STALLED AT AROUND 10MPHS AND ONCE AGAIN WHEN TRYING TO RESTART HEARD THE METALLIC NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. THIS TIME THEY ARE CHARGING ME $4,000 TO HAVE IT FIX. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILL UP AT GAS STATION ( NOT TOPPING OFF), WHEN LEAVING AND COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND HAVE TO CRANK TWO OR THREE TIMES TO START AGAIN. IT WILL DO THIS SEVERAL MORE TIMES AFTER COMING TO A STOP, ONCE ON THE ROAD OR FREEWAY IT WILL RUN LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. ONCE FUEL LEVEL DROPS ENOUGH IT WILL NO LONGER STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. HAVE READ IN FORUMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS MORE THAN LIKELY A VALVE THAT IS BUILT IN INTO THE TANK, MAKING THIS AN EXPENSIVE FIX. *TR

THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY STALLS SHUTTING DOWN POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND OIL PRESSURE IS READING 0. TURN IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND CAR RESTARTS PERFECTLY WITH NL OIL PRESSURES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS. WOULD PROBABLY BE FATAL IF ON INTERSTATE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. THERE WAS ALSO NO ERROR CODES STORED IN THE CARS COMPUTER. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C WAS A CAR THAT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT HAD LESS THAN 90,000 MILES AT THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS IN A DRIVE-THRU AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR TO SAVE FUEL. WHEN I WENT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE CAR MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE THAT SOUND SIMILAR TO STICKING A BASEBALL CARD IN BICYCLE SPOKES BUT MUCH LOUDER AND STRONGER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO CHUCK CLANCY CHRYSLER AND I WAS INFORMED THAT A VALVE SEAT HAD DROPPED AND DESTROYED SEVERAL CYLINDERS. THE BILL WAS $3,000. THIS CAR WAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED BY MAINTENANCE RECORDS AND THE OIL CHANGED WITH PENNZOIL PLATINUM ULTRA. TO ADD TO THIS STORY, I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS OUT ANOTHER $4000 FOR THIS REPAIR. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER IT AND GAVE ME THE COLD SHOULDER. I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FILLED UP TANK FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE PURCHASING MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. (CAME FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH A FULL TANK) NO MORE THAN 2 MINUTES OF DRIVING LATER THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND LURCH AS IF IT WERE GOING TO DIE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND KEEP IT RUNNING BUT IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. CONTINUED ON AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT IT DIED SHORTLY AFTER. RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING BY GIVING IT A LITTLE THROTTLE. I BEGAN COMBING THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THIS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE AFTER FILLING UP. I LIMPED THE CAR HOME AND SIPHONED A FEW GALLONS OUT. IT SEEMS TO BE RUNNING OK SINCE THEN. *TR

ENGINE
THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO. MY CAR STALLS FOR NO REASON IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, STOPPED AT A LIGHT, ENTERING OR EXITING THE FREEWAY, WHILE I AM DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS AND WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IF I AM DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS OR FREEWAY THE CAR DOES NOT STALL BUT MOMENTARILY DIES (FOR A HALF SECOND). MY ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND ALL THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD GO TO 0. THE CAR WILL THEN COME BACK TO LIFE AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE NORMALLY BUT CAN "DIE" AGAIN A FEW MOMENTS LATER OR NOT AT ALL FOR DAYS OR MONTHS. IT FEELS LIKE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY HAS THERE IS NO COMMON CHARACTERISTIC BETWEEN EACH INCIDENT AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY COMMON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAT CAUSES IT. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN BUT HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT IS A CONCERN. SOME DAYS IT WILL HAPPEN REPEATEDLY THEN NOT HAPPEN FOR MONTHS. LATELY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY FOUND NO CODES AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THERE WAS AN ISSUE AS THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THE SECOND TIME I HAD A ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY FOUND A CODE FOR TCM SENSOR BUT STATED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID I HAD TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT CAUSED A SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION, THEY REMOVED THE EXCESS FLUID BUT THE ISSUE HAS STILL PERSISTED. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT DID NOT TRIGGER ANY CODES. *TR
