FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE

a hole got punched in my fuel tank on my 2006 chrysler 300c when it was being driven down a paved highway and the driver did not hear anything that was hit on the roadway to cause this much damage. the dealer states it is a road hazard and i contest this ruling and think the fuel tank is substandard if it fails this easily. this is a major concern with the safety of operating this vehicle in the future. please advise how to continue with my contesting this ruling by the dealer since it is costing me around $1,000.00 plus rental auto costs to get this issue corrected with a new fuel tank. i think this should not ever happen on a paved highway and should not be at my expense since the fuel tank was not constructed with sufficient strength to protect me and my family.

TIRES

2006 chrysler 300c w/ continental contiseal 225/60r18 tires w/ 23k miles. car riding extremely poor & went to dealer. they stated tires egg shaped & i needed to contact continental. they are on continental website as tire dealer, but didn't want to assist with problem. i went to a different continental dealer from the site, who pulled off tires, noticed 1 tire had 2 severe spots of separation & 3 were egg shaped. i was informed by dealers that contiseal tires all have poor life & the puncture sealant causes them to never stay in balance, thus causing abnormal wear & separation. continental offered 50percent goodwill rate saying i was out of warranty, though tires rated 60k they said it does not apply to new cars. also told they discontinued this brand of tire and "had new improved replacement series" because they found hemi engine cars are too heavy for contiseal soft tires. i am angry it cost me $400 to replace tires that had 30 percent usage, as well as both dealers said one tire was ready to separate at any minute & didn't even want me to drive the car home because of the danger. i do freeway driving and have an infant in the back seat!! i believe there should be an investigation into this poorly designed tire & recall issued. why should consumers have to shell out money for tires that should have years of life left?? i even asked continental cust. serv. why the 50% rating, and he said because 1 tire had the separation & the rest only had started the process which only made my "drive rough".. i asked "if" it had separated on freeway what would they have done, and he said he would have given me the legal department. i am appalled at the danger of these tires. i have read complaints & there is a consistent problem obviously & i would like to see some action taken on this company & model of tire. it is simply too dangerous & admittedly so by the company's reps by stating the tires is too soft for hemi engines & this a common problem.

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER

on christmas day i was on the 152 heading towards gilroy when traffic started to slow down and stop in front of me. i tapped my brakes to let the gmc dually pickup behind me know i was stopping. he didn't notice until it was too late and hit my car from behind. it pushed me into oncoming traffic and spun me around and slammed me into a fence on the other side of the road. the driver seatback in my 2006 chrysler 300c broke which threw me out of my seat and into the right side of the back seat slamming me up against the right rear door. the seatbelt ended up on my feet. i don't think the seat should fail like that. i would like to know how this seat was tested and passed.

i have a 2006 chrysler 300 c, that has been in the shop for service 3-4 times for the same issue. the psi light is constantly on, the service department states that it has to do with the sensors of the tires. i have made several attempts to resolve this issue with the dealer, but to no avail. it has to be a manufactures defect. where do i go from here? i pay a $749 car note a month and it seems that every other month my car is in the shop for the same issue. please advise. thank you, jeanette burgos

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS

within the first 300 miles the inside of all four brake rotors started to show premature scoring and grooves also a grinding noise and brake pedal pulsing would occur when the brakes would be applied. it has gotten a lot worse and there is less then 3,000 miles on the car. in spite of a chrysler service bulletin #05-006-06 titled "front and/or rear brake rotors grooved/scored" chrysler motors service would not do any thing except turn my rotors on a lathe at a cost to me of $200.00 dollars. i was informed by chrysler motors service that my problem would re-occur in a short period of time and it is a common problem with all chrysler 300c srt-8, dodge charger srt-8 and dodge magnum srt-8 and jeep grand cherokee srt-8. all of these vehicles are equipped with "brembo" brakes. there is definitely some sort of a defect with this brake system. a search on line shows that there are hundreds of owners of the chrysler 300c srt-8 with the same exact brake problem.

i have an 2006 chrysler 300c, 3 power window regulators went out at the same time. took it to the dealer and it now is going to cost over $700 to repair. i asked the service tech how can 3 regulators go out at the same time and i was told because of poor quality parts that he has had to replace a few of them. my question is he knows that then so should chrysler. if one unit went out then i wouldn't be complaining but three at the same time something is not right. thank you for your time lawrence

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

tpm (tire pressure monitor) light keeps coming on, with a corresponding bell ring, every time i use the car and often again while driving. dealer has spent countless hours and many visits attempting to repair same with no satisfactory results. a call to chrysler's complaint line suggested that i inflate the tires with nitrogen! since the air is 78% nitrogen to begin with, i fail to see how that will help. in any event there is a problem here which seems to be a chrysler fault that dealer can't resolve and the problem is ongoing.

tl*the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. while driving approximately 45 mph, the contact heard an extremely loud squealing noise when the brake pedal was depressed. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but no brake failure was identified. recently, the vehicle was taken to the dealer again for the same noise; however, no failure could be found. the contact was very discouraged and embarrassed about the loud, annoying squealing noise. she stated that there was no resolution for the brake noise, which was frustrating and an inconvenience to have to continuously take the vehicle to the dealer. the current mileage was 25,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.

a/c produces moldy, musty smell which causes allergy problems, ie: sneezing, coughing, watery eyes. took to dealer where it was cleaned and supposedly treated for mold on the evaporator. condition was improved but still present. i will return to dealer asap to complain again. dealer/service writer says all cars in florida do this. i have lived in fl all my life and have only had one other car that this happened. the manufacturer had issued a recall and the problem was corrected after one trip to the dealer. the problem did not reoccur.

when foot is taken off of the accelerator, the car continues to accelerate. this occurs anytime you accelerate, from 0 to 50 and from 50 to 70. substantial brake pressure has to be applied for the acceleration to stop. this happens whether or not the cruise is on. the dealership refused to fix under warranty as the mileage had expired by 500 miles.

on june 11, 2009 i went in to have tires put on my 2006 chrysler 300 at southern tire, lexington park, maryland. the mechanic called me to inform me that the inner tie rods needed to be replaced prior to putting tires on the vehicle, and that he had called the local dealership, park dodge, chrysler jeep and was told that the part was on back order for 6 months and there was a total of 3,123 on back order. i went to the dealership myself the same evening after speaking with the parts manager by phone and ordered the part ( p/n 68028831ac) but was told the same thing. he informed me that i should call the customer care line at chrysler for further assistance. i called the customer care line that evening to express my concerns and was told that because of the state of chrysler i should understand. i expressed to ask a customer to wait 6 months for a part was unreasonable. i was told to give them 48 hours to make a decision as to how to help me and some one would contact me. on june 12th i arrived home and there was a message on my answering machine stating that chrysler would not be able to assist me with a rental or loaner car because my car is out of warranty (92,000 miles). i called the customer care center and asked to speak with a supervisor. the supervisor informed me that they would have to contact the dealership and that she would call me back the next working day. i received no call. i continued to call around and go onto the internet in search of the part and to no avail it was not found. chrysler has told me it is on national back order and they are working to get the part as soon as they can but there is nothing they can do for me. i drive almost 150 miles a day to work. my front tires are getting very bad and the left one is "coupling" according to the mechanic. i don't feel safe in the vehicle. why are there so many parts on backorder and none in the country if this is not an issue with this make and model vehicle?

STEERING

i own a 2006 chrysler 300. twice yesterday my steering wheel locked up while driving. i could not turn the car in either direction. i had to bring the car to a stop in the middle of traffic, turn the car off and back on and then the steering was fine. this has happened twice in one day and is obviously a defect. this is a major issue for me because if i'm driving on the highway it could cause a serious or fatal accident. i took the car to chrysler and they said they cannot detect a problem.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

2006 chrysler 300c engine: 5.7 liter spmi engine shutting down anywhere from 0-40mph. it could occur with the air conditioning on, happening when turning left or right, which would bring the miles per hour below 40mpr. so actually whatever you would do to bring the speed limit below 40mph is of no real importance. the rest of the things would not be worth mentioning because anything you did to bring the miles per hour below 40 is all that is important (it even would stop at a stop sign). if it was safe to accelerate you could stop the shut down. it never stopped or tried to stop at high speeds. common denominator on engine shutdown appeared to be a full tank of gas or relatively full tank of gas. problem started prior to october 2008 before taking to dealer to diagnose (final repair done june 27, 2009). multiple diagnostics later the problem appears fixed; using a black box for the car the dealer finally replaced (after replacing multiple parts of the engine and computer components): (from dealer invoice) replace retainer, gas tank, canister, selenoid-proportional, o ring-fuel pump and leve, retainer, pin. description of problem on last invoice: took multiple recordings of multiple sensors, powers, grounds, evap system, etc. read recordings found most common evap purge when engine dies. removed evap canister to check for fuel liquid, none. reinstalled canister, plugged off purge system. had driven for several miles to see if vehicle stumbles, drove with no problems. replaced gas tank and transferred needed parts. flow control valve not sealing, replaced canister, saturated with fuel. replaced purge solenoid, also saturated. recheck ok.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

2006 chrysler 300c has a manufacturers defect with the tire pressure monitoring system. it goes off repeatedly when driving the vehicle with an audible bell sounding and tire pressures being displayed on the digital panel of the dashboard. problem started 11-12-08 under manufacturers warranty. the chrysler corporation has attempted 20 times to repair the problem with no resolution. i have filed for the lemon law replacement through chrysler with no avail. i have not been contacted by anyone at chrysler despite my repeated attempts at resolving this issue. not only have i filed for the lemon law replacement within chrysler, i have also filed complaints with the bbb of michigan, the ky. attorney general's office which referred me to the nhtsa due to the safety hazards that the cars tire pressure monitoring system displays when the vehicle is in use. constantly while driving the system malfunctions. chrysler has attempted repair for approximately 11 months and have ceased from communicating with me as a customer. i am requesting a formal inquiry by the nhtsa into the chrysler corporation about this issue and their lack of communication to customers to resolve these issues. i have been inconvenienced for 11 months and at this time cardinal chrysler louisville, ky. 502 449-1900 service manager charlie trya, has had my auto attempting repairs for 1, 1/2 months. chrysler has replaced the tire sensors, the dashboard digital cluster, and the receiver for the tpm. under the kentucky and michigan lemon law, my automobile should have already been replaced. i feel that chrysler will not contact me because they refuse to replace the vehicle, and according to the law have failed to properly repair the vehicle in an timely manner. thank you for your assistance in this matter. chrysler is covering up major issues in their automobiles with the tire pressure monitoring system and misleading customers globally.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

intermittent stalling - repetitive issue intermittent stalling of my vehicle while in park or while stopped at a light. i've had the vehicle in for service 3x's for the same issue; 3/21, 4/17 and 6/23. since the problem occurs so infrequently, the dealers (berlin chrysler & mt. ephraim chrysler) have been unable to diagnose the issue. i've had no problems with the car stalling since 6/23, now it has happened again and with my car being 41,000 miles it's out of warranty. there is no reason why i should have to pay for diagnosis and repair (if they can even diagnosis it) considering i've had the vehicle in for the same issues 3 other times which chrysler has documented. i did speak to a representative @ 1-800-992-1997 who was very friendly but who could not give me a definitive answer. the service records are impeccable on this vehicle i should not be concerned while driving the vehicle that it's going to stall and causing a dangerous situation to my well being. three days business days after my phone call and e-mail to chrysler they responded with a generic lack of responsibility response. there are various forums on the internet of folks having similar complaints about this car.

my husband was driving on the belt parkway. there was traffic so he had to brake and slow down the vehicle..each time he applied the brake it seemed that the motor was losing power. the third time he heard a scraping noise and the motor just died. he had to be towed off the highway.the 2006 chrysler 300 srt8 had less than 25,000 miles on it. chrysler refuses to cover the engine damage. chrysler advised me that water collects in the engine when it rains heavily due to the large size of the engine. my mechanic told me he heard of this also and to him it sounds like a defect that chrysler should correct. whoever heard of not being able to drive your car when it rains. also i never received a renewal for an extended warranty. i assumed i was covered for 5 years.

last week on may 9th, 2010 the engine in my 2006 chrysler 300c spontaneously died in the parking lot of an osh hardware store. i had the vehicle towed to a dealership and the mechanic confirmed that a piston and valve blew causing the engine to fail and the entire engine will need to be completely replaced at a cost of $8,500.00. the mechanic also confirmed that there was no evidence of wear and tear that could have caused this and even mentioned that he noticed that the car had full synthetic oil that was clean and wasn't due for a change for another 2,500 miles per chrysler's recommended schedule. i have all the receipts from my past oil changes and maintenance as well. i have contacted chrysler regarding this defect and it appears they are not very shocked at all as if it was something they foreseen happening. i am also very concerned with how difficult it is to contact someone with some authority at the company to explain this issue and discuss a resolution. i have written their ceo and their chief of customer care and quality a letter and an e-mail about this over a week ago and neither has responded. what kind of chief of customer care and quality doesn't have any interest in talking to a real chrysler customer regarding an issue of quality? please help me in creating awareness about this issue as i do believe it could have been much worse and extremely dangerous had this engine failure occurred while i was driving and not in the parking lot of a hardware store. imagine the danger in driving on the highway at 65 miles per hour and spontaneously blowing a piston and the engine becoming completely non-functional and possibly blowing up entirely while moving at those speeds with other cars around you. please contact me if you have any questions or comments. updated 06/14/10.*jb updated 07/27/10. *jb

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD

on may 6, 2010 reported to chrysler that the hood of my 2006 300c would not stay in a up right position. current mileage at time of report 32,000. when i first raised hood, it stayed up right for a moment and than came crashing down on my head. i raised hood again and found that hood would only stay in up right position for a moment and then crash down to the close position. the struts that hold hood up right have to be replaced and chrysler offer to replace for $50.00. i find this offer unacceptable. with only 32,000 miles on car, i figure hood is only open approx. 11 times for car maintenance. with hood crashing down sudden can cause serious injury to head, back, hands and other body parts. i consider this a very unsafe condition and a recall should be put in place and struts replaced at no charge to customer.

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.

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.

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.

the engine will stall after every fill-up. it stalls within 15 seconds after starting it up at the gas station. it will then stall repeatedly at intersections and every time the car comes to a stop. in addition, it has stalled while making right hand turns and misfires and stumbles while at speed. the stalling/misfiring episodes do not occur once 2-3 gallons of gas have been consumed. this situation is extremely dangerous as i have been nearly rear ended as traffic started to pull away from a green light, and also stalled at intersections while making right turns. the chrysler dealer said nothing was wrong since they didn't find any codes or tsb's regarding this problem. i have taken the car to an independent garage and they found a lot of chatter on their mechanic help websites. they think it might be the emission control that sits on top of the gas tank. the top gas in the tank is flooding over to the engine and stalling it out. since chrysler nor anyone else can say what definitively is going on i have cautiously not been filling the tank. this car is dangerous since the next owner may not be aware of this issue.

the engine will stall after every fill-up. it stalls within 15 seconds after starting it up at the gas station. it will then stall repeatedly at intersections and every time the car comes to a stop. in addition, it has stalled while making right hand turns and misfires and stumbles while at speed. the stalling/misfiring episodes do not occur once 2-3 gallons of gas have been consumed. this situation is extremely dangerous as i have been nearly rear ended as traffic started to pull away from a green light, and also stalled at intersections while making right turns. the chrysler dealer said nothing was wrong since they didn't find any codes or tsb's regarding this problem. i have taken the car to an independent garage and they found a lot of chatter on their mechanic help websites. they think it might be the emission control that sits on top of the gas tank. the top gas in the tank is flooding over to the engine and stalling it out. since chrysler nor anyone else can say what definitively is going on i have cautiously not been filling the tank. this car is dangerous since the next owner may not be aware of this issue.

the other day i got off work and drove off fine. i went to the bank and used the drive through because i had pulled in a little to far away from the window i put the car in park and reached out. after my transaction was done, i tried to put the car in drive and it was stuck in park. it would not budge. i googled the problem and found that many many people have had this same issue. the internet suggested pushing a pink override button which i did but it did not work. it stated that there was another button to push if that didn't work but that required taking the whole shift gear apart. none the less, had to call a tow and the guy informed that this was a problem with chrysler 300. i have also had a problem with the car stalling when making right turns?? i have only had this car a year. low miles when i bought it. i just knew there was a recall on this and to my surprise there is not. so its sitting at the chrysler dealership and i can't imagine what my repair bill is going to be for something that chrysler should fix.

i was driving north on the njtp and was in the process of passing another car when suddenly my car went into neutral or disengaged from the transmission. the engine accelerated, but there was no power transferred to the road. i had to pull into the break down lane and turn off the engine with the hope that the electronic module would reset itself so that i could engage drive gear. the procedure worked, but now the transmission readily disengages from drive with light to moderate throttle application. clearly, there is something major wrong with the transmission or its electronic management that could prove dangerous to me or other vehicles on the road.

i was driving along @ 45mph approaching a stop light and the 5.7l hemi engine started to make a noise that sounded like something got stuck in the fan. upon further investigation the problem was in the left bank cylinder head. after removing the head and inspecting the valve seats no# 1 intake valve seat was missing. after taking a closer look at the valve seats it was noticed that small bits and pieces were crumbling off of the other seats. following this i have done some research on this problem and find it to be quite common with the 5.7 engine. the main safety problem here is that if one loses a valve seat then a valve can potentially be lost and cause catastrophic engine failure. at highway speeds this could be a very bad thing. there are two problems here. chrysler is using a compressed medal valve seat that does not hold up under the stress of the engine as it ages and the second is that the valve seat is not sunk deep enough into the head i.e. the head does not have enough gripping surface to hold the valve seat in place. and yes i am an engineer!

many multiple incidents - after filling fuel tank, engine will stall multiple times shortly afterwards and is difficult to re-start. this happens even if care is taken to avoid "topping off" tank. at times the engine has even stalled during fueling once tank is near full, before pump clicks off. must drive with gas cap removed for it to start and run at all for many miles before it behaves normally again, and even with gas cap removed it still will come near stalling at times.

i had just refueled at the quick trip left the station and within one mile experienced the vehicle's engine cutting off and on. the tachometer would show that the engine was going from 2000 rpm's to 1000 this happened maybe 5 times in a one minute span and then quit.

after filling my gasoline tank and driving away the engine quit running while driving down the city street or highway. while still rolling forward i put the car in neutral and attempted to restart the engine. i always succeeded in restarting the car while it was rolling forward. however, the stalling would repeat itself two to three more times before the car stopped doing this. i reported this to my dealership who said they knew nothing about this problem and had no solutions. after months of repeated experiencing this problem i started to fill my tank only to about 3/4th full and the stalling was solved. however, after hitting some rough road after a 3/4th filling (the gasoline got sloshed about, i am sure),the engine stalled on me. on june 12, 2012 i asked the dealership, overland park jeep, chrysler, dodge, in overland park, ks to start replacing gasoline tank parts. they installed a 4891427ab detector-natural vacuum detecti....., a solenoid-proportional purge and a canister-vapor. (their invoice #429537). this did not solve the stalling problem. on march 26, 2013 i finally gave up on the problem and asked opjcd to replace the saddle-bag gasoline tanks. their invoice 452851 covered the installation of a 68051891 aa tank-fuel, o-ring-fuel pump and level unit. with three complete gasoline tank fill up's i have had no problems with stalling. i am writing to you after reading, in this mornings newspaper, about similar problems being looked into by your agency and i wanted to report what happened to me and what i did about it. opjcd service man told me they would reimburse me for my expenses if a recall was made on my car. i paid a total of $1,453.90 to get my 2006 chrysler 300c, i hope, fixed. thank you.

going for a 1000 mile trip from saint cloud fl. to pittsburgh pa. i filled up my gas tank . when i pulled out of the station the engine stalled. it stalled twice again a mile away while i was traveling about 25 mph. on my trip to pittsburgh the car stalled about 5 separate times all after getting the gas tank filled. most stalls occurred when stopped but at least twice happened while driving. called chrysler and got no where. their suggestion was to take car to a dealer at my own expense. this car has been maintained to a very high standard. never a scratch , or dents. always kept covered in garage. it is in immaculate condition. i am shocked about this stalling and chrysler's reply to my asking for their assistance.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

vehicle stalls shortly after refueling. stall happens mostly when coming to a stop although has also occurred at a low speed cruise (25-35 mph) and when accelerating from a stop at an intersection. happens only after fuel tank is fully filled, being the automatic shutoff on the fuel pump. does not seem to happen when tank is only partially filled. while the problem has not resulted in a collision yet, there is a high probability that it eventually will. this is due to the fact that stalling when leaving an intersection causes loss of some control. when the engine stalls, upon restart the transmission does not come online for a few moments. this can cause dangerous scenarios when left immobile in a busy intersection of a major metropolitan area.

after filling the gas tank full i drove the car 1-2 miles and stopped at a traffic light and when i went to accelerate to go forward the engine completely died. i coasted to a stop just past the intersection and was able to re-start it. the same thing happened about a mile further down the road only this time i was not stopped, but driving and accelerating and it died and i was forced to coast to a stop and restart the engine. the problem continued for several days and then stopped. it happened again the next time i filled the gas tank up with very similar issues, and again stopped after the gas tank had used several gallons of fuel. i took it to the dealer and was informed that they would have to replace the gas tank (at a cost of $1600). the technician then told me that if i kept the gas tank at 75% full and not completely fill it i would have no problems. he was right, since these events in december of 2012 i have only filled it to 75% full and have had no problems. i am reporting this because i read in the dallas morning news on 05/16/2013 that this model of chrysler is being investigated for the problem i have told you of. the description/symptoms listed in the news release seemed to match mine and i am therefore reporting it.

i bought my car new in march 2006 and i am the only owner/driver. i do like my car and will buy another chrysler 300c. when the car was new i had several stalling issues where the car would stall at low speeds or while sitting at a traffic light. i do not recall if it was after refueling. i took the car to the dealer and no "codes" were found and the dealer could not replicate the problem. the car than ran perfectly for six years with no stalling issues. all maintenance has been performed including new spark plugs as recommended by chrysler. starting earlier this year the stalling restarted and it only happens after i fill the car with fuel. i have tried several other gas stations and ran some fuel injection cleaner through the fuel system. i do not top off the tank when filling the car up. at one point the stalling occurred after every fill up and now it is not as often (every other fill up). after filling the tank the car starts normally and as i exit the gas station and stop to check to merge into traffic the car will stumble and stall. it restarts and will stall again if i don't keep the engine rpm's up. sometimes after i fill up and quickly merge into traffic (and not allow the car to fall to idle speed) while accelerating up to 25-40 mph the car will stumble and it feels like it is not getting fuel. it does not stall because the car is gaining speed and then clears up after a "surge" and then runs fine till the next fill up cycle. i am careful about pulling out in heavy traffic after fill ups out of fear of it stalling.

after refueling, car stalls, hesitates and shuts off multiple times for several minutes or miles. only happens when tank is filled all the way to automatic pump shut-off. this happens to me almost every time i refuel, unless i stop refueling a gallon or two short of full ( work-around that i discovered only recently). it is dangerous and has not caused an accident yet, but has put me in several white-knuckle situations sitting at an intersection with no power.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

this was the first of several incidences. after fueling, the engine began rough idling. i thought i had just gotten water in my tank. after several minutes the engine seemed to smooth out and i left the gas station and entered a busy intersection. as i entered the intersection, i pressed down on the accelerator and the engine stalled. there were cars all around me as i tried to restart the engine. after several tries, it started and i pulled to the side of the road. the engine ran roughly for several more minutes and once again smoothed out. the stalling can also happen during right turns, but always happens after refueling. my dealer said the problem was the valve on top of the gas tank. when filling the tank, fuel leaks over into the cannister which then floods out the engine. because the valve and the tank are one unit, the entire tank must be replaced. since a repair is so expensive, i now do not fill my tank above the 3/4 level.

this car has been in the shop for the last four years. it is on its third engine and now a roll over valve. keep in mind when we lost two engines the car was on an incline. tried to start when we try it acts like it is out of gas. it does not start therefore we have it towed to the dealership for service. two times we have needed a new engine. cylinders 3 or 4 just fell off. one minute it runs great the next minute nothing. i thought it had something to do with a fuel pump. this last time it sputtered then shut down in the middle of the road while doing a u-turn. we tried once to turn it over and again it acted as if it were out of gas, however it was full, approximately 5 miles prior. we did not continue to try to start it and had it towed. the car sat over night. the service guy said it started right up in the morning. (monday morning) this afternoon, tuesday they called with the diagnoses of a roll over valve. i do believe this is the reason we lost two engines. is this a lemon or is this nagging valve that is a very big problem for many going to be a recall as the next problem will be gas leaking everywhere or venting to the air or both. do not want to pull out into traffic for the car to fail so my family could answers yes to all three above questions "that would be suicide" ,and will not spend $ 1700.00 for another good gas tank when the actual part that cost $0.50 could be located outside the gas tank.

when i refuel the car at any gas station, it usually stalls a few minutes later when i am driving. at first, i thought it was the gas quality, but i have tried premium fuel from all major brands, and each time i fill up the car, their is a 90% chance that it will stall two or three times in the middle of the road. the rpms just drop and the car stalls. i have not had an accident, yet, but this is a major problem which can cause an accident..

most of the time, the engine will stall at a stop with all gauges dropping to zero. this also happens when the car is moving down the roadway. engine does not start smoothly. most times it takes at least two attempts to start it. sometimes upon restart the gauges remain at zero. upon start, engine will run for a brief time and will run maybe 1 block or so before stalling again. it will run without incident until the next episode. there may be a spread of 3 to 4 weeks between incidents. sometimes the engine speed jumps up without accelerator input making the car leap forward. this has happened once to me. sometimes when the engine is restarted and put into gear, the transmission does not engage immediately, but after a very brief delay causing a "jump" into gear when it does engage. the esp bas light comes on a majority of the time this happens. sometimes the gauges all drop to zero while the car is running. almost always, i can feel in the running of the engine that something is not quite (almost imperceptive missing) right before this happens. i took the car to a chrysler dealership immediately after this happened and asked them to read the codes. they told me many codes had been recorded.

on 4 occasions since december 2012 (i purchased it 6/2012), my car has stalled after fill up, on one of the three occasions the car would not restart for several minutes. all four times that the car stalled, it was while i was in traffic and turning. the first time i was turning on to a major highway in daytona beach, and the car would not restart. i do not overfill my tank, i only fill it until the pump shuts itself off. i have had my engine codes checked and there is not indication of any reason for the stall. i have two codes, one for an ambient air temperature sensor, and one for an oil pressure sensor. neither of those should have cause a random stall with no warning. my car is well maintained, and babied.

i have been back to the dealer 5 times because the car stalls when making a sharp turn/u turn or hard stop/start. the car will stall and the esp/bass and oil lights come on. i lose power steering and power brakes. the car will not restart until the key has been turned completely off and then back on. the dealer always tells me it is operating normally. i finally gave up and was just living with it after the vehicle went out of warranty. it was only after i read another person's account online that i realized it was happening after a fuel fill (i do not top off my tank). after learning this, i can now make the car stall on demand. all i have to do is fill it until the pump shuts off, then make a hard turn back and forth and the car stalls. if you pull out from the gas station slowly and make no sharp movements, the car will not stall. the dangerous part of this is if you have to make an emergency maneuver after filling the tank, the car will stall.

vehicle stalled while turning into a parking lot within 3 miles after refueling (full tank). fortunately, no other vehicles were ahead of me, and i was able to safely coast into a parking space straight ahead. as described by other owners, i lost all power "everything" steering, etc. vehicle restarted after a brief period, and i was able to drive home. took the vehicle to the dealership for repairs. dealership immediately suspected the trouble was related to a full fuel tank and failing vapor vent valve in the fuel tank. i'm paraphrasing here but as i understood it, liquid fuel was breaching the vent valve when typically only vapors are vented. remedy: replace the fuel tank. an expensive solution for what is seemingly a defect experienced by many owners. the fuel tank had to be special ordered, and once the part arrived, i was to bring the vehicle back with as little fuel as possible in the tank. on more than one occasion, i couldn't time the return to the dealership with my appointment so i had to refuel the vehicle. i purposely did not fill the fuel tank to full, and consequently, did not experience any subsequent stalling until i could return the vehicle for servicing.

as reported with other complaints, car will stall after refueling. yesterday it stalled three times while removing my foot from the accelerator and applying the brake. it also stalled while turning through an intersection which prompted me to dig into this further since previous attempts to correct the problem have not worked!. visited chrysler dealership today and since the check engine light was not on nor could they find anything specific to the issue there was nothing they could do. the only question i was asked was that if i topped the fuel after the pump automatically shuts off. i responded that i did not and if i did what difference would that make. problem has been on going for about 8 months, and in those months the dealership re-flashed the engine control module, i have replaced the spark plugs, replaced all the fluids, and replaced the pcv valve. problem still persists and would like to seek some type of resolution!

we filled up the tank, not topping off, and headed home. the car was running smoothly, hesitated and stalled. no engine warning indicators, etc. it also stalled setting at a red light and at various other speeds. this has occurred again after every fill up since. if you put in park it will start right back up. chrysler does not acknowledge or deny a problem when contacted. i was told to get a diagnostic and call them back. one service rep, at the dealership, acknowledge a couple of others having this problem the car is currently there and they are trying to recreate the problem. we keep our vehicles services, so that is not a problem.

my 2006 chrysler 300c (hemi 5.7) will stall at low speeds or when stopped at a traffic light. the car does restart. at higher speeds (e.g,, 60mph), the vehicle will exhibit a sudden loss of power (drop in rpms, followed by a chime sound) as if the engine is about to stall, before reaccelerating again. the stalling/loss of power issue does not occur all the time. sometimes, the car will operate as long as a day or two without incident. the dealer performed a complete system diagnostic - retrieved code po700 - related to loss of communication with pcm to multiple modules. (they may have been old stored codes.) then, they cleared the codes, road tested the car, but could not replicate the problem. the dealer returned the car and asked me to monitor it. they indicated that if the issue re-occurs, the vehicle will possibly need a pcm or ignition switch. my impression is that they are guessing at what the issue may be. the day after the car was returned to me, the same sudden stalling/loss of power issues recurred although the engine diagnostic light has not come on. i will be returning the car to the dealer, even though they have not been able to pinpoint the problem to date. i am very concerned about the sudden stalling and loss of power. this is a very serious safety issue that can result in an accident. i am married with a 9 month old baby.

in september, 2010, while driving it, my chrysler 300c began making a constant whining noise, especially while trying to accelerate. it stopped moving and i had to place it in park and turn it off. after restarting the car it would not accelerate and drive so it had to be towed into the dealership. the dealer told us that it was the transmission torque converter. so we had to pay $2926.91 to have it a transmission and torque converter replaced. since then the same problem has occurred 3 more times over a span of 3 years; the last time a week ago (not quite 7 months from the last time). the dealer is now telling us that we must have driven through a rain puddle and that water has leaked into out transmission fluid and will not cover the cost of the repair even though the problem is exactly the same as the previous 3 times and the parts and labor are still under warranty. *js

(11-9-2006) car stalled 4 times in a row. the stalling has continued up to yesterday (9-15-2013). the car would stall at a stop or at freeway speeds and at random times from a few days up to 3 or 4 months. the dealer never had a solution. i have replaced many electrical components recommended by the dealer including the pcm. before i changed the pcm, i would have to shift into neutral and turn the switch to restart the car. after i replaced the pcm the car will still stall, but then will "kick start" itself if i am going over 25 mph. sometimes the car will stall 2 or 3 times and then run great for a month or 2. it is always random. i have looked into renting a blackbox to install in my car to capture what the problem is, however the dealer says that a recorder for my car doesn't exist. i still drive this car with caution, my wife no longer drives this car which was hers..

my husband filled the car with gas and drove it approx. 2 miles to our home. an hour later when i took the car out to go shopping, it hesitated/jerked forward twice as i was making 2 left turns leaving the subdivision. then the engine stalled and would not restart. after calling my husband, he was able to get the car started. he immediately took the car to the dealership and because there were no warning lights, they said they had no way to diagnose the problem. i felt extremely lucky that i was not on a busy street or in traffic when the car stalled. my husband let me know this morning, that the car has stalled several times after he pulls out of the gas station onto the street, when getting fuel. now it is nearly every time he fills the tank with gas and he feels it is getting worse. this is a very dangerous situation! many people are complaining about this same issue online. a recall needs to be issued to repair the problem before people are killed when the car stalls in traffic!

im hoping this post will get us some help and answers about the problems we are having with our 2006 chrysler 300c. we bought the car in november of 2011. it had less than 33,000 miles and was in great condition. we absolutely loved this car for about the first year, but then the trouble started and it is now an ongoing nightmare. it started stalling and dying constantly, usually when we were going slow or stop and go, but a few times when driving 35-45 mph. we had purchased a 2 year/20,000 added warranty when we bought the car (expires in nov 2013 which has me worried) so all of the servicing and repairs have been done at our local dealer. so far, they have done throttle body clean, cleaned a/f box and replaced filter, coolant flush, steering system flush, fuel kit, changed out fuel tank, vapor canister, leak detection pump filter, new factory battery, complete tune up, oil changes, and more. not all of this was covered by the warranty, so we have spent thousands of our own money on repairs and rental car all the times it has been in the shop since it is our only car. on october 16, we had to have the car towed back to the dealer because it was dying again and wouldn't stay cranked once put in gear and start moving. as of this morning, still no word from them on what they think it is this time, and yet another rental bill while we wait. in the two years we have had this car, we have only put about 10,000 miles on it, it has less than 43,000 miles. this car has way too few miles and has been too well taken care of for it to be having this many problems. all the things they have done and its still doing the same thing! this is a big safety issue because when it dies, you have very little to none of the steering and brakes. luckily, we have not had it die in major traffic yet, but i am afraid to drive it now for fear that we are going to be in a wreck because of it.

im hoping this post will get us some help and answers about the problems we are having with our 2006 chrysler 300c. we bought the car in november of 2011. it had less than 33,000 miles and was in great condition. we absolutely loved this car for about the first year, but then the trouble started and it is now an ongoing nightmare. it started stalling and dying constantly, usually when we were going slow or stop and go, but a few times when driving 35-45 mph. we had purchased a 2 year/20,000 added warranty when we bought the car (expires in nov 2013 which has me worried) so all of the servicing and repairs have been done at our local dealer. so far, they have done throttle body clean, cleaned a/f box and replaced filter, coolant flush, steering system flush, fuel kit, changed out fuel tank, vapor canister, leak detection pump filter, new factory battery, complete tune up, oil changes, and more. not all of this was covered by the warranty, so we have spent thousands of our own money on repairs and rental car all the times it has been in the shop since it is our only car. on october 16, we had to have the car towed back to the dealer because it was dying again and wouldn't stay cranked once put in gear and start moving. as of this morning, still no word from them on what they think it is this time, and yet another rental bill while we wait. in the two years we have had this car, we have only put about 10,000 miles on it, it has less than 43,000 miles. this car has way too few miles and has been too well taken care of for it to be having this many problems. all the things they have done and its still doing the same thing! this is a big safety issue because when it dies, you have very little to none of the steering and brakes. luckily, we have not had it die in major traffic yet, but i am afraid to drive it now for fear that we are going to be in a wreck because of it.

POWER TRAIN

after filling up the fuel tank from a start of 1/8 th to full tank, the car stalled after leaving the service station about 200 feet down the road while stopped at a light. after getting the vehicle restarted i began to accelerate from the stopped position but driving power train was fairly erratic as the car attempted to lurch forward or accelerate unpredictably then would pull back by nearly stalling. this continued for several miles before reaching my driveway. the car while in neutral loped substantially from 2000 rpm to 100rpm several times before stalling. attempting to start the car after stalling was successful. leaving the car parked and off for 60 minutes had no beneficial effect. after returning the starting was very difficult and the instrument panel gauges were not lit until the car started again. the car continues to be idle erratically both while in park and in drive and at slow speeds.

car stalls after filling at gas station due to flooding or other issue. dealer would not admit its a problem. happened approx 4 times where i stalled in traffic and almost was rear ended. had to drive vehicle in parking lot accelerating 8 times to burn off fuel before it was safe to drive while car shuddered. cannot fill up tank anymore. was told i need a new tank but there was a 6 month back order due to all the people requesting new tanks.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

after gasoline fill up, vehicle stalls after leaving gas station. most likely to happen first quarter mile after fill up and sometimes within five miles. later occurrences may happen upon making left turn. took to dealer and vehicle checked out. vapor canister and purge valve tested ok. was told fuel control valve may be problem but the fuel tank would have to be removed to access the part. cost would be considerable. condition has continued to occur upon fill up for over a year now with rare exception. i find it quite distracting and dangerous when vehicle stalls in traffic as it takes several seconds to get restarted and may reoccur again. i have an appointment to repair tomorrow, 31 october 2013. if vehicle is recalled for this issue i would like to be eligible for reimbursement.

i bought a 2006 chrysler 300c new from the dealership in may of 2006. at approximate 25,000 miles it began to shut off after filling up the gas tank completely at the gas station. i've always put the correct fuel in my car as recommended by the manual and the dealerships i've taken her to for routine maintenance. at intermittent intervals throughout the ownership of my car, it has shut off, stranded me on dark roads and have almost caused accidents on highways, busy streets with my children in the car. this car has been dealership maintained & i've adamantly followed the maintenance schedules. have taken it to the dealership and had spark plugs, fuel pump, water pump, thermometer changed all needlessly. i've spent close to $4000 in repairs and needless parts.the dealership has ran various diagnostics and haven't found anything wrong. the car now has close to 76,000 miles on it and will shut off if the gas tank goes to the quarter of tank mark or when it's full. i never top it off because i've been warned not to top off my gas intake. i've sought second opinions on why this might be happening and the dealerships in ny, nj and fl have informed me that this is a common complaint they receive for all of the chrysler 300 series. this is a dangerous malfunction that could possibly cost lives plus cost an expensive loss for this car. i've spoken to other owners plus researched other forums, and there are hundreds of the same complaints about when the car is fueled especially after the car reaches 50,000 miles on it. the last incident was oct. 30, 2013 in which i was almost in an accident due to the fact that my car shut off at a stop light after the light turned green. the cars behind me started to move and the car directly behind me had to swerve to keep from hitting me. this is a dangerous problem.

after filling my gas tank, at 1/2 a tank, i pulled away from the pump and the car stalled. after restarting i continued on my way. every time i slowed down for traffic, or a stop sign, or traffic light, the car stalled. this happened 6-8 times on my way home where the car was parked until the next day. after starting, the engine "spitted, and spurted" on acceleration. it then smoothed out, and ran fine, until this latest incident. also, the last time the car was fueled, it would not accept gas, the hose kept shutting off. tried another pump, same result, went to another gas station, same result.

my husband filled up the tank on 110413 (already had 1/4 tank). i drove to and from work, but once i backed into the yard the vehicle would not crank again. as i revved the engine the car would act like it would continue running after the initial start up, but as soon as i took my foot off of the accelerator the car cut off. i had to have the car towed to a chrysler dealership, but no one mentioned the issues that customers have been having with this specific vehicle (2006 300c with hemi). vehicle is currently in the shop and the mechanic mentioned it might be the engine... oh really!!!!!

my vehicle will stall out on me intermittently. it mostly happens right after i get finished putting gas in my car. unlike most other stories i've read about overfilling the gas tank, this happens to me sometimes when i put just a half of a tank of gas in my car. now, as of nov. 7, 2013, it's done it well over 100 times; that's since the first time it happened in may. the dealership is a complete scam. they know this is a defect. they've charged me to fix everything from egr valves to pcms to spark plugs. nothing has worked.then finally i decide to do some deep research, that's when i decided to file my complaint. there are 2 major issues i have. when at highway speeds, i'll lose all power and throttle response for a split second, then it'll kick back in. it's extremely dangerous, to say the least. the more frequent problem, is the car completely cutting off while either at idle, or traveling at a lower speed. both situations happen almost always directly after i put gas in my car. this happens so much that it is becoming unbearable. sometime it starts back up, and sometimes i have to wait a minute or two. it's ridiculous. i don't mind paying to have my car serviced. however, diagnose the problem, know that's the problem, and let's get it fixed. don't run me through $3,000 worth of repairs, knowing that you've got countless others with the same model and model year, coming in around the same time, complaining about the same problem. you know what it is. that's no coincidence. and quite frankly, it's fraudulent. i've got my 5 year old son riding in the back seat. what happens the next time my car stalls out on the highway and loses power, with another car tailgating me? what if it's a tractor trailer next time? will they have enough time to brake or plow into the back of me? more unnecessary stress and worry for the loyal consumer. thanks chrysler.

i had just made a left hand turn onto an access road going approximately 35mph. i noticed my car was bucking and seemed to sputter. first the oil light came on followed by the engine light along with all the dashboard lights. once the lights went off, i had lost all power. the steering wheel was very difficult to turn but i managed to turn off onto a side street and get out of traffic. thankfully i had not yet made it onto the expressway, which by the way was during 5 o'clock rush hour traffic! i sat there for a minute and then tried to restart the car. it started up and was drivable. it still sputtered some on the way home. i am hopeful i can make it back into town and take it to an auto repair shop. my car is a one owner car that my late husband bought for me. i love this car. although it is beginning to have issues and i don't know how much more money i can keep putting into repairs. i have had to have to replace the water pump on two occasions. the latest one was replaced in april, 2013. i have had the module front control & ignition switch both replaced at the dealership @ 83,918 miles 5/31/2013. i have it scheduled for a tune up and fuel injector tune up ironically tomorrow morning before the stalling issue happened. i have felt the car sputter and buck before and i thought it was due for a tune up. however, now i believe this is all together a separate issue. hopefully chrysler will step up to the plate and recall these vehicles to be repaired at no expense to the owner.

for the past several months, every time i fill up with gas, my car dies several times before i get home, which is about 5 miles from the gas station. sometimes it will speed up without me pushing the accelerator just before it dies. it dies before i get out of the gas station, sometimes. other times it dies as i pull to a stop at the light 1,000 feet from the gas station. the most recent occurrence was 2 days ago. i've had it to the dealership service department twice for this, but they can't find anything wrong. the fill up before this last one, i only filled the tank half full, and it didn't die, so it must be something to do with filling it all the way up. i don't top the tank off, either.

my 2006 chrysler 300c engine cuts out every time i completely fill my gas tank. this problem was first detected about 6 months ago. since, i have been very careful when re-fueling. sometimes i still encounter engine sputtering and eventual loss of power and steering control. i try to mitigate and control the safety risk as best as i can. i have to quickly throw the car into neutral and crank the engine to restart so i can avoid being a safety threat to others on the road. also thanks to chrysler, my wife refuses to ride in the car with me as it poses a significant safety issue at any speed on any road. i have never had this experience in a car before. this is my first brand new car i bought jan 6, 2006 at the age of 23. i regret my decision ever since. i have lost a ton of faith in chrsyler products and the brand it represents. the one thing chrysler should do, is to recall these cars and offer the fix at no cost to the owner.

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.

i have a 2006 chrysler 300c 5.7 hemi. have owned car for over a year and never overfilled gas tank and never had this problem before. i got a full tank of gas, then started car and pulled away, a block later the car died. this happened 7 times over the next 2 miles to get car home. car stalled, rpm's down, starting jerking. i kept it in neutral to keep it from dying. went home and googled problem - seems to be either 3 things - fuel vapor canister (located above right rear tire), fuel vapor canister purge valve (located in engine compartment), or rollover/check valve (located in fuel tank). took car to firestone next day and they said that vapor canister and purge valve are working and it was be the component in the tank. said it will cost $1,500 for new tank. i said no way, i'll wait till there is a recall on this, which there damn well better be. if this car stalled on expressway, i would have been screwed. there is a fast fix instead of replacing anything - either fuel tank only 3/4 full, or leave gas cap off after fueling, so that no pressure is in tank and vapor is burned off through filler neck, instead of through engine. i feel like calling chrysler dealership tomorrow and seeing what they say. this can't be tolerated. the vapor canister is an emissions thing that takes fuel vapor and burns it though engine, but if it malfunctions, it will suck up fuel and flood engine. so hopefully the more people that comment on here, the more chance there will be a recall so that i don't have to fork over $1,500 for a defective manufacturing issue, that the dealer needs to fix for free.

the first time this happened was over a year ago. i had just filled up gas tank and pulled out of lot still in a parking lot of a shopping area. turned left into a fast food place and car shuts down and would not restart until attempted several times. i was able to pull into a parking spot and went inside. came out started car was pulling out of lot into traffic and car shuts down again. this time not to the liking of other drivers or myself. restarted after several attempts drove home and did not happen again till i went on a trip a few months later. half way through the trip i had to refuel and bingo it happened again after pulling out of gas station lot and turning left into traffic. this is not good. i was able to restart after several minutes and continued my trip on interstate without further incident. since then it has been ok until just two days ago the 28th of december 2013. it happened again, after filling up and turning left at slow speed car shut down while pulling into a lot. it finally restarted after several attempts. after reading on line i'm not the only one with this problem. when it happened the first time i took to dealer, that i will never take it to again. short story is they wanted to replace my transmission at the tune of $4500.00. i left there and drove to a transmission shop who diagnosed and said that there was nothing wrong with transmission. problem appears to be getting worst and afraid to fill up and pull out into traffic. from what i understand there seems to be a problem with the fuel tank and related components. please chrysler fix this problem, i love my 300c.

the first time this happened was over a year ago. i had just filled up gas tank and pulled out of lot still in a parking lot of a shopping area. turned left into a fast food place and car shuts down and would not restart until attempted several times. i was able to pull into a parking spot and went inside. came out started car was pulling out of lot into traffic and car shuts down again. this time not to the liking of other drivers or myself. restarted after several attempts drove home and did not happen again till i went on a trip a few months later. half way through the trip i had to refuel and bingo it happened again after pulling out of gas station lot and turning left into traffic. this is not good. i was able to restart after several minutes and continued my trip on interstate without further incident. since then it has been ok until just two days ago the 28th of december 2013. it happened again, after filling up and turning left at slow speed car shut down while pulling into a lot. it finally restarted after several attempts. after reading on line i'm not the only one with this problem. when it happened the first time i took to dealer, that i will never take it to again. short story is they wanted to replace my transmission at the tune of $4500.00. i left there and drove to a transmission shop who diagnosed and said that there was nothing wrong with transmission. problem appears to be getting worst and afraid to fill up and pull out into traffic. from what i understand there seems to be a problem with the fuel tank and related components. please chrysler fix this problem, i love my 300c.

vehicle stalled after refueling. filling the gas tank to full without 'topping off' will cause the car's engine to stall without any prior warning. no dtcs/miles are set. can be restarted with some difficulty. the stall will occur at any engine/vehicle speed and will happen within the first 5 minutes of driving the car after refueling. the problem can be avoided by not filling the tank past 3/4 full. have tested this 'work-around' at the same gas station & pump.

after fueling the chrysler 300c the car will crank just fine and run for a minute or so but then stalls out. this scenario continues for about 5 to 8 times before it is safe to get back on the road. it has also died while driving shortly after fueling causing the power steering to stop making it extremely difficult to steer the car off the road to safety. this is very upsetting and unsafe for my family. there seems to be no good answer for this problem.

within a minute or so of refueling, the engine stalled and, consequently, the power steering and power brakes failed. the car would re-start with little difficulty only to stall again very shortly thereafter. eventually, after perhaps 10 minutes of starts/stalls, and re-starts, operation would return to normal. at the time of the first occurrence, i had no reason to believe that this problem was related to refueling. however, the problem has since recurred with every refueling (at least 4 refuelings so far), resulting in numerous engine stalls in traffic. apart from these refueling-related incidents the car runs perfectly, and my local mechanic has said that "the car's computer" indicates all systems are normal. a google search on my problem, however, suggests that the problem is extremely common in chrysler 300cs of a similar vintage.

after re-fueling, the vehicle experiences multiple stall conditions while on the road. this condition has occurred multiple times and can occur both while driving and while stopped at a light. i've noticed that this more frequently occurs when you fill up the tank to the point that the auto shut off on the gas nozzle is tripped. the car gives no warning that its about to experience an issue until the car completely shuts off, most likely while you're already on the road. right now the only way to combat this problem is to not fill up the car more than 3/4 of the tank. this method keeps the driver guessing as to how much gas should be pumped, and causes more frequent fill ups as you're not using 1/4 of the gas tank capacity. this is a very dangerous condition, and its one that should be communicated to all 300c owners immediately.

i am not sure about the actual start date or mileage, but this has been a continued problem for about 4 years. each time i fill the fuel tank, the car engine starts misfiring and completely cutting off, it continues to do this for several miles (probably 6 to 8) if i have topped up the tank. this results in loss of power steering and power brakes and more than once has nearly let to an accident. i now make sure that i stop filling the tank as soon as the nozzle shuts off, but this still happens for a couple of miles. the engine runs fine at all other times, but this problem occurs every time i fuel the car. i research this problem through the internet and found that many owners of this car hare having the same problem and that the fix requires an expensive replacement of the fuel tank. this problem is definitely a safety issue and i feel chrysler should issue a recall..

our chrysler 300c had begun to stall out while driving with more than 3/4 tank of gas. we began to limit the amount of gas to never fill more than 3/4 tank. this lasted for approximately 6 months. in dec, 2013 the vehicle began to stall at other times. i had between 1/4 to 1/2 in the tank when we were driving at approx 45mph when the vehicle began to stall then restart at first. then it stalled entirely several times that evening as we tried to make it home. i had my 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters with me at the time. the next morning i took the vehicle to local dlr, lee chrysler, were i purchased the vehicle. the vehicle stalled on me 3 times while i was trying to make it the 3 miles. the dealer had the car until 12-16-2013 when they advised that the proportional valve/purge vale needed replaced and that all of the updates to the system needed to be made. the total of this attempt to repair was $379.45. the car immediately began to stall again so i returned it. they kept the car for approximately two weeks with their computer hooked up to it then advised that the pcm needed replaced this repair cost a total of $1,018.61. the car was on empty so he offered to stop for gas. he filled the tank up then pulled out to 5 lanes of traffic and stalled. the vehicle would not restart for several attempts. i called the dealer and they wrecker after the vehicle. they had the car for one night and called us to pick up and run the gas out to 1/4tank. we were told it would not stall again because they had disconnected the emissions system. while i was driving the car on a very busy 7 lane hwy with my daughter and 3 month old granddaughter the car came to a dead stop in 40mph traffic. i was terrified but was able to get the vehicle to the center lane. they have now called and advised another sensor must be replaced. someone is going to get injured or killed in this car.

upon fill up of gas tank until pump auto shuts off, when driving away from gas station, vehicle will constantly stall and not start, vehicle will shut off unexpectedly in the middle of traffic, this became very dangerous when it happened in the middle of an intersection with my children in the car. i had the gas tank, fuel pump, evap pump, charcoal canister all replaced by galeanas dodge in warren mi. all expenses were on me. the parts used were the exact same ones that came from the factory, no superseded parts were used or updated. i know this is a very common problem with many others who drive a similarly equipped vehicle.

after fueling, car began to surge, and then die at random for approximately 5 minutes. car stalled at major, busy intersection while i was turning. i had a near, potentially fatal accident as i had to restart my car while oncoming traffic coming towards me. this was a horrifying experience. i had this happen a few more times and had attributed it to "bad gas" until i found out about a faulty fuel tank/vapor part in car. i took the car to chrysler dealership and paid $130.00 to diagnose problem. rode with service technician to refuel car and show him the problem. he experienced the same issue, verified my complaint, then gave me the estimate of cost to replace fuel tank. chrysler corp. has offered a 25% discount to help with replacement of entire fuel tank. the whole fuel tank needs to be replaced because the faulty part is built into it. the cost quote from the chrysler dealership, parts and labor is $1,350.00. the price of the fuel tank only, no labor is $905.00. this should be covered by chrysler 100%, the fuel tank did not wear out or fail, the part they built into it failed. it may appear by the year model, (2006) that this an older model beginning to have problems. this is not the case, car has been kept up with regular service and maintenance and is in otherwise mint condition.i feel that this is a serious safety issue, and now i am aware that i cannot fill my fuel tank to capacity without having this issue re occur. please, any help appreciated. thank you.

after refueling, engine stalls at any speed. car dies while at highway speeds (70mph). car may be restarted by shifting to neutral or park. this is very dangerous at highway speeds (requires shifting to neutral and restarting while car is moving. sometimes the engine just shuts off for a couple of seconds but then, continues to run. at highway speeds, the problem persist for about 5 to 8 miles after refueling. after that, the problem does not recur until the next refueling. if the tank is partially refilled, that is, the gas pump is turned of when the tank is ~ full, the problem does not occur. problem has been consistently recurring for about the past 4 years.

the engine stalled as i was approaching an intersection with a red light and would not start back up. the dealer diagnosed it as valve seat failure with no compression in one cylinder, of which i have found many similar complaints on the internet. they and several other mechanics suggested that the only way to go forward was to completely replace the engine. at 7 years old the car is no longer functional, but the fact that the engine died while i was driving it could have been very dangerous. while gm is recalling cars for stalling, their cause was much more minor and they finally acknowledged it - chrysler refuses to acknowledge it and i constantly hear from the dealer about how they've never heard of that happening before when even their mechanics acknowledge it happens a lot.

after filling the car when we begin to accelerate the car stalls. we have repeatedly asked the dealerships if they have had complaints and they said "no". finally, on 2/14/14 we saw on the news that chrysler is extending the fuel warranty to lifetime due to a defect in the fuel tank causing stalling after filling. we again have contacted chrysler dealerships and chrysler complaint center and they said because there isn't a recall they can't fix it. how can this be if they agreed to a lifetime warranty on the fuel system. the dealership said they don't have a part to replace until there is a recall. the complaint center said they can't help us if there isn't a recall. we also have an article from the detroit news on 2/18/14 that states that the ntl highway traffic safety commission ended its investigation after chrysler and a supplier developed a solution to the problem extending lifetime warranty coverage. is there anything your dept. can do to help consumer? why should we have to wait for someone to ram us in the backend entering a freeway because our car stalls?

after filling tank, the car stalled on exit from gas station. the car stalled a few miles later after stopping and then trying to go. filling the tank with gasoline has become extremely slow since then. 20 to 30 minutes to fill the tank. most recently on 3/4/2014, the car stalled again when stopped at red light. the stalling and slow fill have been continuing since november 2013 and happening more frequently recently. the nhsta has a case number pe13016 which describes exactly my situation as a defective fuel tank valve. in that case, chrysler has agreed to extended warranty on gas tanks for 2006 chrysler c cars in the case file write up, but both the dealer and customer service do not acknowledge the existence of the case findings or the problem itself. i am hoping the nhtsa will stand behind their findings and support the completion of manufacturers solution. right now chrysler does not appear to be honoring its solution.

on 2 occasions, 09/30/13 and 10/02/13 i filled my vehicle up with gas and within a mile of the gas station it started missing real bad and then shut off, once while merging onto interstate 95 and the other time on a less traveled road. on both occasions i was fortunate enough to pull to the shoulder and restart the vehicle. i took the vehicle to whitten bros chrysler (richmond, va) a few days later and i was told that the gas canister was contaminated and needed to be replaced along with a detector and solenoid, total cost of $516 and was told the gas tank needed to be replaced because of a defective valve in the tank. seems the valve was stuck open and allowing gas to overflow into the canister. since the valve is part of the tank and cannot be replaced a complete tank is needed at a cost of $1200 to $1500. the next week i called the service advisor at whitten brothers, [xxx] , and told her to go ahead and order the tank. she said it would take 3-5 days to be received and would call me when it was in. that night i read an article about a gas tank problem on the 2006 vehicles like mine and saw that if you did not fill the tank you should not have a problem with it shutting off. i figured for the amount of money i was going to have to spend i would go this route so i called and cancelled the order for the tank. i was told the tank order could not be cancelled but they would keep it in inventory. i have only put 600 miles on the vehicle since all this happened and have only put gas in it twice but did not fill it either time, only enough to get the gauge to about 3/4. i have to remember when i loan the vehicle to one of my sons to tell them whatever they do please do not fill the tank if they put gas in it. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

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.

after refueling (not over-filling) the vehicle stalls, bucks while in motion, dealerships could not diagnose the reason. this happens every time the tank is filled to the point the gas pump kicks off. the dealer suggests the solution is to not fill the tank, which is a tactic that does work if you can predict how fuel you can pump before the shut-off. this is a safety issue because the stalling is not immediate and will often occur without warning once you have entered moving traffic. on line forums show this to be a wide spread problem with 300c owners. apparently, many dealers are now suggesting the fuel tank be replaced as a solution. it is unknown if this actually solves the problem. on several occasions where this occurred i have narrowly avoided being rear ended by following traffic. i cannot imagine that no accidents have not been caused by this problem..

the current issue with this model for me is the fuel. i just had a vapor canister installed that did not solve the issue but it did get rid of a few of the problems. when i first started having problems with my car shutting down after a fill up, i thought the gas had water in it but it's not the gas. no matter what station i fill up at, i have the same symptoms. the car will drive fine for about 3 car lengths, then it will hesitate, choke, jump, try to die, jerk forward and then finally stall and shut itself off. then it will take 3 or more tries to get the car to restart and it may do the same things over again for another block or two. the bottom line is, in the first 3 blocks of driving this car after a fill up, i can expect just about anything and i know for sure it will die on me if i fill it up. if i only put in 3/4 of a tank of gas or less, i am safe but if i let the pump kick off on its own, i'm in trouble. the only thing the vapor canister did was stop it from jumping and jerking, all the other symptoms are still there.

this is not the first time this has happened. it started occurring 12000 miles ago. today was the last straw. after filling my tank over this past year, i've learned that i can only fill my tank to 3/4 full to avoid the stalling and sputtering. this means i have to have my ignition turned on so that i can watch when the fuel gets to 3/4. this alone is a safety hazard as it could spark. today i filled it to 3/4 forever it shut off at the pump just before it got to 3/4... when i started the car the full indicator was full. i knew this meant i would have a scary ride home. it stalled leaving the gas station and two more times while waiting at the first light. i made it about a mile and was making a right turn and it cut out at about 35. i was making the turn with no power and almost hit a pole. i put on my emergency flashers and was almost rear ended. please explain why only selected vin numbers were selected against pe13-016. looking online there are multiple complaints and i did not see any owners who's vins were covered. where is a copy of this list and how many vins were on this list? chrysler needs to take a stand and own up to recalling all vins for this model make and year. i've never heard of a selected recall. i am documenting this safety concern everywhere i can as i am scared for my life and hope someone takes this seriously and quit blaming the owners of overfilling the tanks. this should not be a concern and it isn't with other models an make. own up chrsyler!

we had just filled the gas tank and were heading off to las vegas for a long weekend when as we drove less than a block away the car stalled. this never happened before, we restarted the car and she continued to jerk around acting like it was going to stall again. we were very close to a pep boys so we pulled in and told the clerk what was happening, he said we maybe got bad gas (maybe watered down) and to try a gas treatment. we did and it stalled again, we restarted the car and drove cautiously around town testing her reliability. she seemed fine so we drove on to vegas. she performed well for a few weeks then did it again after filling the tank so again we added gas treatment and things seemed fine. a month or so later the same thing again with the stalling after fueling. so far this has happened approximately 8 times since the first time and only after fueling. we are nervous to drive anywhere now. we have used various gas stations so not any particular brand makes this happen. it can go for several weeks without incident but we just never know when it may occur again. we looked it up online to see if anyone else was having similar problems and found that owners of chrysler 2006 300c and magnums and chargers all experienced the same thing. pe13-016 was referenced as the original investigation number into these occurrences. chrysler supposedly issued a lifetime extended warranty for this problem but only to those affected and notified them prior to jan. 2014. the rest of us are screwed. i am asking for this investigation to be reopened. chrysler needs to be fair to all owners of these vehicles with this defect. i am the original owner and have taken excellent care of my car. many people have stated that chrysler is not acknowledging their complaints since the investigation is closed. your help is needed to correct this injustice.

every time i fill up my chrysler 300c it stalls out several times. the first few times this occurred i was almost killed in a wreck due to the fact it stalled in a major intersection. this is not safe and very frustrating. chrysler is doing nothing to help. i read several complaints online and it just seems like a recall should be in affect. i trusted chrysler when i purchased this vehicle to provide me with a quality product that they would stand behind but yet they won't. please help they victims of chrysler.

after filling the fuel tank with gas and entering the freeway the car stalled. every time i fill the car up with gas the fuel tank will just stall. i took the car to the dealer and was told that i would have to have the fuel tank and lines replaced. this is a serious safety hazard. when the car shuts off the steering wheel locks up and you must come to a complete stop before putting the car in park to restart it; all while trying not to be rear-ended by coming traffic. i continue to have the problem today. i took my car in for maintenance and was told that there's now a recall on the fuel tank, but due to the massive number of recalls, the part is on back-order.

STRUCTURE:BODY

i have had problems with my 2006 chrysler 300c door handles for quite some time now. after a year or two when i first purchased the vehicle, the back exterior (chrome) right door handle became partially detached. i had it repaired and since then, the very same door handle as well as the exterior door handle on the driver's side is partially detached. also, the handle on the passenger side is completely detached. this is a big problem. i bought my car brand new and i have had numerous problems with it. as pricey as this vehicle is, you would think that chrysler would use the best parts for their vehicles. there needs to be a recall on these handles. when i replaced it before, it cost about $200 and this is ridiculous. i should not have to pay to replace these handles when clearly there is an issue on their end. i also want to add that my car has stalled numerous times before after putting gas in it and the oil light would come on sometimes. my headlights also don't work properly. i have to keep the headlight knob in the auto position just for them to remain on otherwise the lights will blink on and off. so during the daytime, my headlights are on. i didn't have this issue until after i took my car for an oil change at the dealership. i absolutely hate to take my car to the dealership (hebert's town & country) because they never can seem to fix the problem or they end up creating one.

the car stalls randomly. there seem to be two scenarios when the stalls occur. one scenario is at idle (less than 1000 rpm). the car will just stall at a red light, at a stop sign, a rolling stop, when driving at very low speeds, etc. the other scenario is at wot. all the dash light s flash on and off quickly, the car lurches violently, loss of power, occasional stall. these two situations may or not be related to each other. i have had the fuel tank replaced already because of the stalling that was occurring after fuel fill up. that took care of that specific stalling scenario. there still remain these two stalling scenarios. they are very well documented in the online forums. many drivers are experiencing the same symptoms. it seems to be happening to all 5.7 and 6.1 hemis in the 300s, chargers, challengers and jeeps. no dealers can find a definitive solution. i and many others love our cars, but this is just unacceptable. we don't want to give up on chrysler, we just want a solution. this is a very dangerous situation. our cars are stalling randomly. this is similar to the gm stalling debacle. please help us prevent a chrysler/dodge/jeep debacle. by the way, thank you for your work in helping to find a solution on the fuel fill stalling issue. the lifetime fuel tank replacement was an adequate solution. i must note to you that included in the fix was a statement saying that "this did not represent a dangerous or life-threatening situation." i disagree 100%. i almost died a few times due to the random stalling after fuel fill. we all know the dangers of random stalling - just ask gm car owners.

vehicle will not shift out of park. vehicle will start normally, however the console mounted automatic shifter will not shift out of park. problem appears to be with the pink plastic transmission shift interlock latch. the tab that is connected to the return spring fails and does not allow the transmission to shift out of park. this was discussed with local service department and they acknowledged this has happened to other vehicles. an internet research has indicated this to be a wide spread problems for 2005-2007 chrysler, dodge vehicles to the extent that there is an after-marked aluminum part to resolve the issue. if the issue is sufficient to warrant an after-marked part to be created it is serious enough to warrant investigation and consideration for a recall.

engine stalling after fueling. we first suspected bad fuel, but soon learned we were not alone in this issue. we waited years for the local dealer to finally admit to a problem with the fuel tank rollover valve. chrysler then issued a lifetime warranty on the tank. as soon as the lifetime warranty on the tank was issued we took the vehicle to our local chrysler dealer and was told we were # 6 on the list waiting on tanks that are on back order. i checked status this past week and the dealer said he now has a stack of back orders for these tanks. what good is the lifetime warranty if the company is unable to provide parts support. we really enjoy this auto but the stalling is getting more common and we feel it is becoming more dangerous to drive.

i was driving home from work and everything seemed fine. i stopped at the convenience store before i went home, so i turned the car off, went in, and when i came back out, the vehicle would not start. it was trying to turn over but wouldn't. eventually i got it started for a few seconds and revved the engine a little to keep it from shutting back off, and it sounded like rocks were inside the engine, then turned off after maybe 3-4 seconds of running. got it towed to a local chain garage. the next day they called me and said they got it running for about 30 seconds and it sounded like there were rocks inside of it and that its probably a broken rod, and that could have damaged much more inside. now i'm not sure what to do with this car. the repairs might end up costing the value of the car, but selling it without an engine is basically worthless. i have no backup car to drive in the mean time, or money/credit to buy a new one. this should not have happened to a well maintained car with under 100k miles on it, and it seems to be a common problem. the company should at least acknowledge there is an issue.

after a fill-up (not topped off) on august 5, 2013 as i merged onto the freeway the engine stalled and there was a complete loss of power. i was extremely frightened because my grandson was in the back in his carseat and it was peak traffic time. additionally without power i was having a hard time maneuvering the car to the side of the freeway to a spot where there was enough room to stop. i was able to restart the engine but the engine was not running smoothly. at the first off ramp i pulled off the fwy but the engine kept stalling whenever i had to slow down or at a stoplight. this was another safety issue for my grandson and me. it was a miracle that we were not involved in an accident. when i took the car to a chrysler service center the outcome was that they could not recreate the problem. the next morning i received a call from a service rep and was told that he researched the problem and that the gas tank needed to be replaced. i asked if chrysler took ownership of this problem and was told no. for overall safety i had the tank replaced. ($1200.00) i also contacted chrysler corp to relate the engine stall incident so that they would be aware and investigate for safetys sake. essentially i was told that chrysler was not aware of any other complaints and they would not accept responsibility for the need to replace the fuel tank. i first experienced an engine stall after a fill up on october 12, 2012. i had the car towed to the chrysler service center and after checking the car the invoice stated road test vehicle, did not die at stops or while driving, no codes in pcm. transmission fluid, engine oil full. there was limited driving of the car. my vin is not covered under the recent extended warranty even though i have the same problem as other car owners. chrysler needs to accept full ownership before there is a serious accident.

on the first of july i was preparing for a trip and stop at a gas station to fill up. on my way home from the gas station my car stalled while going down the road. i lost power steering, brakes, etc, and was lucky that i was able to bring the vehicle to a stop safely and get the vehicle home, stalling several more times. i looked on the internet to see if i could determine what had gone wrong and i found that there is a defect with the gas tank on my vehicle and that due to an agreement with the fed gov and chrysler. it was determined that chrysler was going to extend the warranties on this gas tank to replace the defective ones without a recall. i contacted my local chrysler dealer and they ordered the parts and told me it would be approximately 2 weeks before a repair could take place. two weeks later i contacted the dealer and was told that the parts were on back order. i wrote an email to chrysler asking for clarification and i was told the following "according to our records your vehicle was included in the x53 19 gallon fuel tank extended warranty. unfortunately at this time the parts to perform the x53 repair are currently on a restriction with the dealerships having access to order 1 part every 14 days for the one repair and 1 part every 7 days for the other repair. at this time we recommend continuing to work with your dealership to have this repair completed." i has now been 4 weeks and i still to not have this vehicle repaired. this response is unacceptable to me and is a safety concern to me and i think for other drivers who have the same issue!! i ask the nhtsa relook this issue an address chrysler to expedite replacement of the defective tanks before someone gets injured.

my family and i were travelling on the interstate after a complete fill up of gas from the gas station, as i was proceeding onto the ramp of the interstate my car stalled and continued to die right as i was turning onto the interstate in the right lane and had a near miss from a semi truck. my families life was in the hands of a car that i thought i trusted and lead to believe was safe in every way. little did i know that the gas tanks on these cars can not handle a upwards of 3/4 tank of gas or more. now i am scared to death to fill this cars gas tank past the half mark and have to stop frequently as i travel for my job. please help get the warranty on these gas tanks extended as i have recently found out that chrysler is no longer holding their word on fixing the tanks on these sets of cars tanks.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

for the past two years, my 2006 chrysler 300c has been surging, trying to cut out, and stalling at the first several stop lights after filling the tank up with gas. car stalls or tries to stall several more times while driving in traffic. have come to realize that car will not do this if i only fill the tank up to 3/4 full, but if the tank is filled more than that, the same problem occurs after fill up. the car will try to stall when stopping at several of the first traffic lights, driving after restarting, or driving around curves. this seems rather dangerous driving like this in traffic. i just learned about the nhtsa pe13-016 that chrysler had extended the warranty for the 19 gallon gas tanks to lifetime. i have also learned that chrysler is only honoring a limited amount of vehicles whose owners had filed complaints before the investigation was ended. it appears chrysler is not meeting it's obligation. i am the original owner of this car and have never received a letter from chrysler dealing with any recall for this car.

bought the car used. after only a week, the car started stalling and would die at most stops. the fuel tank was replaced by dealer per extended warranty. this did not solve the problem!!! it's worse now than before the tank was replaced!! this is a very dangerous car to drive!! there are thousands of these case reported. chrysler needs to figure this out and make good on a very serious safety issue. how many have to die before something is done?!!!!
