2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

CHRYSLER RECALL #K39 CONSISTED OF MOST 2005 - 2007 WHO HAD OR MAY HAVE THE ISSUE. I PHONED CHRYSLER TO INFORM THEM THAT I NOW HAVE THE ISSUE BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT MY VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED ON JUNE/JULY 24, 2007. MY THOUGHT IS THAT IF IT HAD TO BE MANUFACTURED IN 2007 HOW WOULD ANY 2005-2006 VEHICLE QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. THEN ALL THE REPRESENTATIVE KEPT SAYING IS THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY, WHILE I AM INFORMING HIM THAT IT HAS TO QUALIFY BECAUSE MY SHIFT IS DOING JUST WHAT YOU ALL RECALLED. HE KEPT SAYING, WELL THAT IS NOT ON "YOUR LIST". WELL, I NEED HIM TO ADD IT TO "MY LIST". WHATEVER "LIST" HE IS SPEAKING OF. THE STUCK SHIFT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT ABOUT 11:00PM WHEN I GOT OFF FROM WORK, STARTED MY CAR, WENT TO SHIFT GEARS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I FEEL MY CAR'S SHIFT FAILURE FALLS IN-LINE WITH THE RECALL K39.

SEVERE RUSTING AND ROTTING OF CRADLE AND SUSPENSION. MECHANIC WOULD NOT ALLOW CAR TO PASS INSPECTION.

WHENEVER I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES LATER WHILE I'M DRIVING THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD WILL LIGHT UP AND THE CAR WILL CUT COMPLETELY OFF. I HAVE TO PUT IN IN PARK AND TRY TO RESTART IT ABOUT 5 TIMES, EACH TIME THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND IT JUST STALLS, ONCE IT DOES CATCH THE SPEED FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN BUT ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER IT HAPPENS ALL OVER AGAIN. I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OIL BECAUSE I HAD GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE BEFORE I PUT THE GAS IN THE CAR. THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SO I HAD JUST STOPPED FILLING THE CAR UP AND THIS TIME I FORGOT. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION, YOU CAN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, IT JUST STOPS WHERE EVER YOU ARE, ALL I COULD DO WAS CUT ON THE HAZARDS AND KEEP TRYING TO RESTART IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO RESTART WHILE IT'S ALREADY ON, IT MAKES A SCREECHING SOUND, AND SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TRYING TO CATCH.

THE GEAR SHIFT GETS STUCK IN PARK POSITION. WE HAVE TO INSERT A INK PEN OR SCREW DRIVER INSIDE THE PANEL IN ORDER TO GET IT ANOTHER GEAR. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN 2006 BUT IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. YES, THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND RUMBLES WHEN TURNING WHEEL. BREAK LIGHT CONSTANTLY GOES ON AND OFF.
