WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL OUT OF NO WHERE WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF ON YOU. YOUY LOSE ALL POWER. I WAS ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WITH LOSS OF POWER WAS HARD TO GET THE CAR TO RIGHT EDGE OF ROAD AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. I HAVE REPLACED ON ADVICE OF CHRYSLER THE FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP, NEW PCM AND NEW TCM AND THE VEHICLE STILL SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IT THROWS TWO CODES U0100 AND P0700. U0100 IS LOST COMMUNICATIONS AND P0700 IS TRANSMISSION FAULT. THESE ARE TWO GENERIC CODES AND THE P0700 IS JUST A SIMPLE AS THE TRANSMISSION GOING INTO LIMP MODE WHEN ENGINE STALLS. CHRYSLER DEALERS/SERVICE CENTER DON'T KNOW WHATS CAUSING THIS, BUT YOU LOOK ALL OVER THE INTERNET THERE IS 1000'S OF THE SAME COMPLAINT AND NOTHING BEING DONE TO HELP. I EVEN CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY LIED THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. IT IS EFFECTING CARS FROM 2005-2006 AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. MY GIRLFRIEND HAD HER KIDS IN MY CAR AND WAS USING IT AND IT STALLED OUT AND SHE WAS ALMOST RUN INTO AT 9PM AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE WRITTEN YOU NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO REPLY BACK SO I AM ASSUMING YOU GUYS ARE OVER LOOKING THIS ISSUE ALSO. HERE IS JUST ONE WEB PAGE WITH SAME PROBLEMS AS I EXPLAINED: HTTPS://WWW.2CARPROS.COM/QUESTIONS/CHRYSLER-300-2006-CHRYSLER-300-CAR-SHUTS-OFF HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/300/2006/ENGINE/ENGINE_STALLS_SHUTS_OFF_WHILE_DRIVING.SHTML AND BE ADVISED MOST EVERYONE HAS HAD THEIR GAS TANK,ROLL OVER VALVE AND FUEL PUMPS REPLACED ALONG WITH PCM AND TCM AND ARE CARS ARE STILL SHUTTING OFF CAUSING A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT FOR A DEADLY ACCIDENT YOU NOR CHRYSLER SEEM TO CARE ABOUT TILL ONE OF US GETS KILLED

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ENGINE CUTS OFF. AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR AND FOUND THE PROBLEM WE LOOKED IT UP ON LINE AND FOUND OUT CHRYSLERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT WE SEE NO RECALL. THIS IS A VERY BAD SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR JUST STOPS WITH NO WARNING IN TRAFFIC. REPLACED A COUPLE SENSORS AND ENGINE CONTROL MODULAR. STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ENGINE DIES 4 TO 5 TIMES ON THE ROAD AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK, IT HAPPENS IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN OR TO STOP, IT IS STRESSFUL WHEN YOU LOOS CONTROL OF THE CAR ON THE STREETS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TURNING ON A CORNER. IT STARTED ON JULY 1918 AND IT HAS HAPPENED FOR THE 15 TIMES THAT I HAD FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GAS WITH NO EXCEPTIONS. I KEEP RECORDS OF DATES, MY MILEAGE AND USED GAS.

MY CAR CUTS ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. IF I AND STOPPED AND A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT WILL CUT COMPLETELY OFF AND I WILL HAVE TO CRANK IT BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT WILL CRANK RIGHT UP AND SOMETIMES IT WILL CRANK UP AND CUT OFF A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL STAY CRUNK. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE IT GIVE ME NO WARNING. THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP AND CALLED THE DEALER AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I TRIED TO PULL IT UP ONLINE AND I SEEN WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE SINCE 2014 AND NO ONE COULD TELL THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EITHER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2006, CHRYSLER, 300C STARBOARD FUEL PUMP LEAKING FROM THE PLASTIC HOUSING. I CHANGED THE O-RING AND IT STILL LEAKS GAS. THE GAS PUDDLES ON TOP OF THE PLASTIC GAS PUMP HOUSING. FUMES ACCUMULATE IN THE PASSENGER AREA AND OUTSIDE NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS ABOVE 1/2 FULL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS DRIVING, RUNNING OR THE ENGINE OFF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF OUT OF NOWHERE EVEN GOING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT! STARTS JUMPING GEARS MAINLY WHEN THE RPM IS AT 1 GOING INTO 2. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR FLICKER. AFTER THE CAR DIES OUT, WHEN YOU RESTART IT ITS STUCK IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE IN DRIVE. ONCE YOU SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND RESTART IT, ITS AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. THERE IS A BRAND NEW ALTERNATOR AND A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR AND IT STILL SHUTS DOWN WHETHER YOU'RE GOING 55 ON A HIGHWAY OR SITTING AT LIGHT READY TO TAKE OFF AND IT DIES OUT THEN AS WELL. I HAVE CHILDREN, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY! I HAVE READ THAT MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THANK YOU
