2005 CHRYSLER 300C W/ 5.7L WHILE DRIVING @ APPROX 35MPH, VEHICLE WOULD DROP OUT OF GEAR AS IF IN NEUTRAL, CHECK ENG LIGHT CAME ON, SETTING P700 & P701 PLUS EGR PROB. IF CAR WAS STEERED TO SAFE AREA AND TURNED OFF THEN RE-STARTED, PROB WOULD MOMENTARILY RESOLVE ITSELF BECOMING INTERMITTENT @ VARIOUS SPEEDS OR ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS. R&R OF EGR ASSEMBLY AND CLEANING, THEN CLEARING OF CODES SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE PROB. PROBLEM STARTED ON OCT 16, 2010, REPAIR PERFORMED ON OCTOBER 19, 2010 AND HAS NOT RETURNED. THIS COULD BECOME AN ISSUE W/ OTHER VEHICLES OF SAME MAKE & MODEL, DUE TO P701 IS STATING PROBLEM W/ TRANSMISSION MODULE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FUELING FOR APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES AND SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT IS NEVER KNOWN WHEN OR WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL LEAVE YOU DISABLED. MY CAR HAS STALLED MANY, MANY TIMES, ON THE ROAD, AT INTERSECTIONS, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, AT STOP LIGHTS, ON RAILROAD TRACKS, ON FREEWAY ON RAMPS AND OFF RAMPS, PARKING LOTS, AND ANYWHERE ELSE IT SO CHOOSES. I TALKED TO MECHANICS AND I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FLAT TOP FUEL TANK DESIGN, REQUIRING THE FUEL TANK TO BE REPLACED, BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER 300C OWNERS. PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I STOPPED TO GET GAS AND WHEN I COMPLETED THE TRANSACTION I STARTED THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID HE PICKS UP 3 A WEEK WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THE COST OF THE TOW AND THE REPAIR WAS ABOUT 500 DOLLARS. I JUST LOOKED ON LINE AND SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. SEEMS TO ME THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE IT OUT OF METAL AND FIX A 40K CARS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN DEC 09 MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS APPROACHING LIGHTS AND MAKING TURNS. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALER THAT HAS PERFORMED ALL WORK ON MY CAR AND THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER UPDATE. IN JUNE 2010 MY CAR STARTED DOING THE SAME THING - CUTTING OFF AT SLOW SPEEDS AND MAKING TURNS. I TOOK IT IN ONCE AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SO THEY HAD NO FIX FOR IT. I RESEARCHED THROUGH FORUMS AND FOUND MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE, YET NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. AT THAT POINT I WENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER BECAUSE I JUST COULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR AWAY KNOWING THE DANGERS OF IT STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND NOT CRANKING. HE MADE SOME CALLS AFTER LOOKING AT THE INFORMATION THAT I HAD FOUND IN MY RESEARCH AND DECIDED TO CHANGE THE IGNITION COILS TO SEE IF THAT MAY ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. I PICKED MY CAR UP APPROXIMATELY THE END OF JUNE 2010 AFTER 2 WEEKS OF BEING IN THE SHOP AND BEING ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE RESOLVED AS THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS EXACTLY AND ALTHOUGH MY WARRANTY EXPIRES IN JULY, THEY WOULD STILL HONOR IT IF THE STALLING OCCURS AGAIN. ON AUG 24,2010 IT STALLED ONCE AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP THIS TIME. I HAD IT PUSHED OUT OF THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND TOWED TO THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN - WARRANTY EXPIRED THIS TIME OF COURSE - THEY ARE NOW SAYING IT CANNOT BE THE SAME ISSUE BECAUSE THIS TIME IT DID NOT CRANK BACK UP, WHICH I AM WORKING WITH CHRYSLER ON THIS ISSUE, BUT, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE CHRYSLER FIND THE ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING THIS STALLING AS IT CAN BECOME A TRAGEDY IF IT SHOULD STALL IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND AFTER ALL THE RESEARCH I DID - ITS OBVIOUS THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH AT LEAST THIS MAKE AND MODEL BECAUSE I FOUND MANY WHO COMPLAINED OF THE EXACT SAME THING WITH NO ONE BEING ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY IT IS HAPPENS OR ANY REMEDY TO FIX IT. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER IS NOT MAKING THIS MORE PUBLIC CONSIDERING THE DANGERS OF IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 STUCK IN PARK IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT. WAITED 2 HRS FOR A TOW TRUCK IN THE HOT AZ HEAT. TRUCK DRIVER SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER AND WHAT HE GETS THE MOST CALLS FOR. DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I WAS THE 3RD CAR THAT DAY COMING INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CASHIER STATED IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AND CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL. IT IS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT BREAKS ON THE GEARSHIFT. IT WAS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. THEY LEAD ME TO BELIEVE IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THE CARS AND FIX WITH A DURABLE PART AT THEIR EXPENSE. IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO KNOW IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN SINCE I DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO SAN DIEGO AND DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300 SRT8. TRANSMISSION LOCKS IN PARK. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL FORUMS REGARDING THIS TYPE OF COMPLAINT. A PART MADE OF PLASTIC COMMONLY BREAKS COSTING A LARGE REPAIR BILL. THE PART IS NOT A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM. I BELIEVE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL WHERE THEY REFER TO IT AS A "PAWL." IT MAY ALSO NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, BUT I'M NOT HAVING THAT PROBLEM. *TR
