2006 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

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

I OWN A 2006CHRYSLER 300 WITH A 3.5 LITER ENGINE. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, I'VE EXPERIENCED STALLING AND ENGINE SHUT OFF FOLLOWING REFUELING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO MY MECHANIC WHO ALERTED ME TO A RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER OVER THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THE CHALLENGE, I WAS TOLD, WAS THAT THIS WAS A VIN SPECIFIC RECALL, 14-002-14, DATED 4/2214, ON MY MODEL AND ENGINE'S FUEL SYSTEM, NOTED AS A LIFETIME WARRANTY REPAIR, AS STATED IN THAT RECALL, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER. MY MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THIS PROBLEM, ALLOWING GASOLINE TO ENTER THE EVAPORATOR CHAMBER IN THE FUEL SYSTEM BY DROPPING THE GAS TANK AND EXAMINING IT. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THIS TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED. AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THE SAME EXAMINATION WAS CONDUCTED AND THE SAME PROBLEM CONFIRMED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE LIMITED RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER, I'D HAVE TO APPEAL TO CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF PROMISED CALLS NEVER BEING MADE TO ME, I FINALLY SPOKE WITH BRITTANY, A CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPERVISOR WHO SAID I WAS NOT ENTITLED TO THE LIFETIME WARRANTY AND FREE REPAIR TO THIS FACTORY DEFECT BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE VEHICLES COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. SHE SAID ANY REPAIR TO THIS ACKNOWLEDGED FACTORY DEFECT, CONFIRMED BY CHYSLER'S DEALERSHIP MECHANICS, WOULD HAVE TO DONE AT MY EXPENSE. AS A CONSUMER, I FIND THIS EGREGIOUS. WHY SHOULD AN ACKNOWLEDGE FACTORY DEFECT BE REPAIRED ON MY DIME, WHILE THE SAME MODEL, YEAR AND ENGINE TYPE AS MY VEHICLE IS COVERED UNDER AND UNLIMITED WARRANTY BY CHRYSLER FOR OTHER, SELECT VEHICLES. I AM APPEALING TO YOUR ORGANIZATION TO HELP ME OBTAIN THIS REPAIR BEFORE MY FAMILY AND/OR I ARE SUBJECTED TO A ROADSIDE FAILURE OF TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU SOON. THANK YOU.

SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK UNLESS YOU PULL CONSOLE APART AND PHYSICALLY PUSH THE SPRING UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SHIFTER WITH SCREWDRIVER. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON IF NOT THIS PART A VERY SIMILAR PART BETWEEN THE YEARS 2005-2007 WHICH THIS CLEARLY FALLS INTO BUT IS VIN SPECIFIC AND THEY CLAIM DOESN'T PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE. FUNNY IT IS BYPASSED IDENTICALLY TO THE PEOPLE WHO THE RECALL DOES COVER. CLEARLY A KNOWN FLAW BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURS.

I CAN NO LONGER FILL MY GAS TANK TO THE "FULL" LEVEL , IF I DO, MY CAR RANDOMLY STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING OR MAKING ANY KIND OF TURN, WITH OUT ANY WARNING OR NOTIFICATION IN THE DASH BOARD . ALSO IF I TOP OFF MY GAS TANK THE INSIDE OF MY SMELLS STRONGLY OF FUEL , AS IT IS LEAKING INSIDE SOME HOW .

ON MY WAY TO WORK I STOPPED AND PUT $15 DOLALRS IN THE TANK I WAS JUST BELOW A HALF TANK NOW. I DROVE ROUGHLY 5-10MILES AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING AROUND 30MPH THE OIL CAN LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN MY STEERING GOT TIGHT AND BRAKES GOT TIGHT. IT WAS LIKE THEY WENT OUT. MY CAR ENGINE THEN SHUT OFF AND I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER THE BEST I COULD. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A LARGE ACCIDENT. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT MADE NOISE BUT WOULD NOT START A COUPLE MINUTES LATER I STARTED IT AND THE CAR STARTED FINE.

THE FRONTEND HAS DEATH WOBBLE GOING ON THE HIGHWAY MORE THAN 65MPH I'VE HAD THE WHOLE FRONT END REPLACED WITHOUT SOLVING THE PROBLEM, THE MOTOR ALSO WAS REPLACED DUE TO ONE OF THE CYLINDER GOING RIGHT THREW THE MOTOR AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER MOTOR OVER HEATED A YEAR LATER

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. HAD TO WALK 10 MILES TO GET HOME AT 11PM.SEARCHED FOR RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND CHRYSLER NOTIFICATION K39. EVEN WITH OVER 20,000 REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM DEALER SHOP REFUSED TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFTER INTERLOCK AND STATED MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL AND WILL CHARGE ME FOR REPAIR.

SHORTLY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, WHETHER STANDING OR AT CONSIDERABLE SPEED, CAR STALLS SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED (IE 65 MPH ON ROUTE 80) CAR WILL SHUDDER AND THEN RESTART ITSELF; AT SLOW SPEED DRIVER MUST RESTART MANUALLY BY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND USING IGNITION. IF PARKED AT IDLE, CAR WILL JUST STOP SEVERAL TIMES. OCCURS AT ALL LEVELS OF GAS TANK PRIOR TO REFILL. (I AM FORCED TO SELECT A DATE, BELOW, BUT IT HAS HAPPEN MANY TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR.)
