FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A CHRYSLER 2005 300C. THE HAD NO FUEL PROBLEMS UNTIL THE ODOMETER REACHED APPROX. 50K MILES. IT THEN STARTED TO STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I WOULD HAVE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE IN PARK OR DRIVING UNDER 60 MPH. I HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHICH CREATED SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES UNLESS I GOT IT RESTARTED QUICKLY. I WOULD HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER DRIVING FOR A DAY OR SO. I HAVE ASKED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IF THERE WERE ANY TSB'S ON THE PROBLEM ANS HAVE BEEN TOLD NO. OWNERS ON THE CHRYSLER'S OWNER FORUM WITH MY TYPE OF CAR ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE AND SAY THAT THERE IS AN ISSUES WITH THE GAS TANKS THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. *TR

RE: PE-13-016 COVERING 2006 CHRYSLER 300C VEHICLES WITH 5.7 L HEMI ENGINES THAT MAY STALL AFTER REFUELING I SPOKE TODAY BY PHONE WITH "[XXX]", A SUPERVISOR WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE (1-800-992-1997 AND 1-905-440-7694). HE TOLD ME THAT CONTRARY TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT IN ODI RESUME (PE13-016), CHRYSLER DID NOT BEGIN MAILING LETTERS IN JANUARY 2014 TO THE 153,817 OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON 19-GALLON FUEL TANKS TO LIFETIME COVERAGE, HE TOLD ME THAT THE MAILING (INOT-PE130016-58863.PDF) WOULD IN FACT BEGIN IN APRIL 2014. OWNERS OF THE 153,817 AFFECTED VEHICLES SHOULD LOOK TO RECEIVE THIS LETTER IN APRIL 2014. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP WITH FUEL THE CAR STALLED AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT ALSO SPUTTERED AND WANTED TO QUIT RUNNING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO LUSTINE CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, AND RAM LTD. IN WOODBRIDGE. WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL TANK AND CARBON CANISTER NEEDS REPLACED BECAUSE SOME FLAPPER IS BAD ALLOWING FUEL TO ENTER THE CANISTER ON FILL-UPS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER REFILLING MY GAS TANK TO FULL, MY ENGINE STALLS FORCING ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY ENGINE. THIS OCCURS ONLY AFTER REFILLING MY GAS TANK AND LAST FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 10 MILES OR SO. ANOTHER KEY POINT IS THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW RPM USUALLY WHILE I'M DECELERATING BETWEEN 5~10MPH. I SEE THAT THESE SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY MANY PEOPLE. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WHEN I'VE CALLED THE (800#) AND VISITED MY LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF CHRYSLERS ACKNOWLEDGMENT. IS THIS A TRUE EXTENDED WARRANTY? WHY WAS THIS INVESTIGATION CLOSED? *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTOMS SPECIFIED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016. OUR MECHANIC HAS CONFIRMED THIS ALSO. HOWEVER, ACTION PE103016 LEADS US TO BELIEVE CHRYSLER WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE CONTACTED TWO CHRYSLER DEALERS' SERVICE DEPT'S AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE NO 'RECALLS' LISTED FOR MY CAR'S VIN. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING CHRYSLER TO MEET THE AGREEMENT STATED IN PE13016? *TR

EXACTLY LIKE THE SITUATIONS DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION (PE13-016), MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L ENGINE HAS STALLED AT LOW SPEEDS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AFTER REFUELING. MY LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ??SELECT?? VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN EXTENDED WARRANTIES BY CHRYSLER GROUP LLC IN RESPONSE TO PE13-016. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN A DIFFERENT PLANT THAN THE VEHICLES IDENTIFIED WITH PE13-016. CLEARLY THERE IS AN MALFUNCTION WITH THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE (MFCV) FUEL SHUTOFF FLOAT AT MORE THAN ONE MANUFACTURING LOCATION. ALTHOUGH THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THE LAST TIME I REFUELED AND PULLED ONTO THE STREET, THE ENGINE STALLED AND I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT STALLED 2 MORE TIMES DURING THE SAME INCIDENT BEFORE IT WOULD DRIVE MORE THAN A SHORT DISTANCE. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE IS AN INJURY OR FATALITY DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE IF I AM UNABLE TO REFUEL AND DRIVE WITHOUT THE RISK OF INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. *TR

RIGHT AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM A FILLING STATION THE CAR STALLED, IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED,DROVE OUT ON THE STREET AND STALLED AGAIN BEFORE REACHING THE NEXT SIGNAL LIGHT. RESTARTED KEPT SLIGHTLY MORE PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR, AND WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE STOP OR SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO REACH HOME IT HAS DID THE SAME THING ABOUT A MONTH LATER. THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE SURE OF THE INCIDENT NOT OCCURRING AGAIN IS TO GUESS HOW MANY MILES I HAVE GONE BASED ON CARS? APPROXIMATE MILES PER GAL SINCE YOUR AGENCY HAS COMPLETED YOUR INQUIRY ( NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 ) AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS AGREED TO EXTEND THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY TO " LIFETIME ", HOW DO I OBTAIN AN AUTHORIZATION TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. I HAVE RECEIVED NO INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER AS OF THIS DATE ( 3/15/14 ). *TR

IN MAY 2013, THE NHTSA BEGAN AN INVESTIGATION (PE13-016) INTO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT ENGINE STALLING IN 2006 CHRYSLER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 5.7L 8-CYLINDER ENGINES. IN FEBRUARY 2014, CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED THAT IT HAD DEVELOPED IMPROVED PARTS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, AND WOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON 19-GALLON FUEL TANKS TO LIFETIME COVERAGE FOR THE 153,817 AFFECTED VEHICLES. IN FEBRUARY 2014 THE NHTSA ACCEPTED THIS SOLUTION PROPOSED BY CHRYSLER AND CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION.CHRYSLER SENT ME AN EMAIL ON MARCH 13,2014 INFORMING ME, WITHOUT EXPLANATION, THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE NHTSA, AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C FUEL TANK. *TR

IN JANUARY 2013 I NEEDED A JUMP DUE TO THE FRIGID TEMPERATURE. FOLLOWING THE JUMP MY ENGINE LIGHT WOULD BLINK ON AND OFF OCCASIONALLY. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE ON FEBRUARY 17, 2014 I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE TECHNICIAN WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THE DEALERSHIP COULD DO IF THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THAT TIME. TWO DAYS LATER ON FEBRUARY 19TH, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO CONFIRM WHAT THE TECHNICAL TOLD ME WAS CORRECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE TECHNICIAN GAVE ME THE CORRECT INFORMATION AND THAT WHEN MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON TO COME BACK SO THAT THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. I ALSO INFORMED HIM THAT MY RECEIPT STATED THAT I DECLINED REPAIRS WHICH I DID NOT. HE STATED THAT THE LANGUAGE ON THE RECEIPT WAS FOR GENERAL REPAIRS AND THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. ON MARCH 1, 2014 MY CAR WAS SMOKING PROFUSELY. BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED I HAD MY CAR PUT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE BY ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY WHO STATED THAT MY ENGINE WAS LOCKED. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AT BREDEMANN'S CHEVEROLET LAST TUESDAY, THEY FORGOT TO FILL UP THE TANK SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TODAY TO GET FILLED UP. AFTER THEY FILLED UP THE TANK I WENT ON MY WAY AND BEFORE I CAN GET ON THE ROAD THE ENGINE DIED. I RESTARTED IT AND IT STAYED ON A BIT THEN DIED AGAIN. AFTER A FEW TIMES OF THIS THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AND SEEMED OKAY SO I GOT ON THE ROAD, AFTER DRIVING A FEW FEET THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SO I RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SALESMAN TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND WE DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE LOT A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMED OKAY SO I THOUGHT WOW, THAT WAS WEIRD...I THANK THE SALESMAN AND WENT ON MY WAY I GOT A FEW BLOCKS AND THE CAR DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT'S A PRETTY SCARY FEELING BECAUSE IT WOULD DIE ALL OF US SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. I'VE BEEN READING REPORTS AND FORUMS ALL DAY TODAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. WOULD THIS BE PART OF A RECALL OR WOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS. I CAN'T AFFORD BIG REPAIRS RIGHT NOW, CONSIDERING I'VE JUST PUT DOWN CASH TO BUY THIS CAR.
