AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TODAY FOR THE 1ST TIME SINCE I'VE HAD MY CHRYSLER 300C HEMI 5.7 LITER V8 JUST RANDOMLY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. AFTER TAKING OUT THE KEY AND RESTARTING THE CAR BACK UP IT CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT AS SOON AS WE DROVE OFF AT A LOW SPEED YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE SHAKE AND STUMBLE A BIT AND WANTING TO STOP. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED PROBLEMS BEFORE SINCE I GOT IT BACK IN 2014.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR DIES AFTER FUELING. IT WILL SPUTTER THEN DIE, IT WILL ALSO DIE WHILE COMING TO A STOP. AFTER REFUELING IT SPUTTERS AND DIES AT GAS STATION BUT IT CAN HAPPEN WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MILES. IT WILL DIE WHILE PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. READING ON LINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. IT ALSO WILL NOT ALWAYS GO BACK INTO GEAR AFTER IT DIES.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. OFTEN WHEN IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT, AND SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE OIL LIGHT WARNING COMES ON, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT, AND POWER STEERING CEASES TO WORK. I MUST RESTART THE CAR AND REV THE ENGINE BEFORE PROCEEDING, IT HAS YET TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE HAD THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP MECHANICS LOOK AT THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, USUALLY WITH INCREASED FREQUENCY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL. TO REITERATE, OFTEN WHEN I AM IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT THE CHRYSLER 300 STALLS. BUT THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AS WELL. THE MECHANICS I HAVE HAD LOOK AT MY CAR HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. BUT IT USUALLY HAPPENS WITH GREATER FREQUENCY RIGHT AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK TO FULL.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. SINCE 2013, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR STOPS COMPLETELY, SOMETIMES RESTARTING ON ITS OWN, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK IN 2015, STATING THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE, BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL. MOST RECENTLY, IT STOPPED WHILE MERGING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE CAR RANDOMLY TURNS OFF, NO WARNING. NOW THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND REFUSES TO START AT ALL.

ENGINE
MY CAR'S 96,000 MILE ENGINE SUDDENLY BLEW A #6 CYLINDER SOON AFTER I DROVE FROM WORK. I HAVE AN EXCELLENT SERVICE HISTORY. NEVER HAD ANY WARNING OR ISSUES. NOW I'M TOLD TO PAY 6500 FOR ANOTHER ENGINE WITH MORE MILES. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THIS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER HEMI ENGINES. MY NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT MY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR. WHY HAS CHRYSLER BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE?

ENGINE
2006 CHRYSLER 300C. CAR HAS 84,000 MILES. DROVE AROUND TODAY FOR A HALF HOUR. PARKED CAR. RESTARTED CAR IN 5 MINUTES, IT MADE A HORRIBLE SOUND AND CAR STARTED SHAKING, RAN ROUGH AND THEN DIED. WOULD ONLY RESTART WITH FOOT ON GAS AND RAN VERY ROUGH. TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID THAT THE VALVE/CYLINER #5 DROPPED. ENGINE IS SHOT, UNLESS I PAY TO HAVE IT RE-BULT OR REPLACED. CAR IS NOT EVEN WORTH IT. ALREADY HAD TO HAVE A RE-BULT TRANSMISSION ON CAR AT 68,000 MILES. CAR IS A JOKE AND SO IS CHRYSLER, NEVER BUYING ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS AGAIN. OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY. HORRIBLE MANUFACTURING IN THIS CAR, FROM ENGINE TO TRANS TO GAS TANK ISSUE TO ELECTICAL. CAR IS A LEMON.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN JANUARY 2015. AS OF DECEMBER 2015 IT STARTED STALLING. IT WOULD START JERKING WHEN I GAVE IT GAS. IT WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN I EITHER TRIED TO TAKE OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR WHEN I WAS JUST STOPPED OR IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING WITHIN 40 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (NOT THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM) THEY DIAGNOSED IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS. I PAID OVER $1200 TO GET IT FIXED. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF ME PICKING IT UP. IT WAS THERE FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS, THEY SAID IT DID NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN IT WAS THERE. ONLY SAID I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I HAD THEM REPLACE THE BATTERY. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A MONTH LATER. THIS TIME THEY DIAGNOSED THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE WORK WAS COMPLETE I PICKED IT UP AND LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING I WAS BROKE DOWN AGAIN. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME ITS BEEN THERE IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS. ALSO I NEVER RECEIVED A REFUND AFTER THE MIS-DISGNOSIS! THIS IS FRUSTRATING!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE CUTS OFF WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOTS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND STOP SIGNS. ALSO WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SPUDDERS LIKE IT'S GOING TO QUIT, AND THEN SUDDENLY SURGES AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ALL OF THIS IS RANDOM, AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, AND IS WORSE IN THE CITY WHEN THERE IS MORE STOPPING. NO CODES OR LIGHTS ARE COMING ON, SO A DIAGNOSTIC CAN'T BE RAN. MY MECHANIC HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS AND CAN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM.
