MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L STARTING STALLING AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORST. MY CAR NOW STOPS WHILE IDLE, AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND HAS EVEN STOP WHILE MAKING A TURN INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHO HAS TRIED TO CHARGE ME LABOR TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM (THOUSANDS) BUT, ULTIMATELY CLAIM THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AFTER RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THEIR ARE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I ALSO FOUND THAT CHRYSLER'S SOLUTION IS TO CHANGE THE GAS TANK, WHICH THEY CLAIM SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE TANK UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE STALLING PROBLEM. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER DID A RECALL ON THIS SAME STALLING ISSUE FOR THE PACIFICA MINI VAN, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY MAKE AND MODEL. THE ISSUES ARE FOUND IN 2005-2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI 5.7L ENGINES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE HAS GONE SO LONG WITHOUT A RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BY STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. MEANWHILE MY CAR STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

I HAVE HAD CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE CONTROL ARMS, TIE RODS, AND THE DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL BROKEN. I HAD TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR TWICE NOW. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE COSTS THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. THE RADIATOR ISSUES HAVE COME WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. MY ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I NEVER HAD ANY WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE MOTOR BLOWING. I HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE TO MY CAR, BUT A NEW ENGINE, 2 RADIATORS, TIE RODS, AND CONTROL ARM REPAIRS/CHANGES SEEM TO BE THE CONTINUUM FOR MY CAR. THE DOOR HANDLES ARE COSMETIC AND HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I HAVE RECORDS FROM MY DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER PLACE I ENTRUST WITH MY VEHICLE.

I FILLED MY CAR UP AND WITHIN 5 MILES IT STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME IF I PULL SOME FLUID FROM THE TANK THE CAR WILL REMAIN RUNNING.
