I FILL MY CAR UP AT GAS STATION AND WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL COMPLETELY CUT OFF OUT OF NOWHERE

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NOWHERE, I NOTICED THAT MY COOLANT INDICATOR LEVER HAD NOT MOVED. A FEW MILES LATER, IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGH SO I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND THEN IT STARTED SMOKING SO BAD I THOUGHT IT WOULD CATCH FIRE! I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO OPEN THE HOOD BECAUSE I WAS SO AFRAID! THANKFULLY FOR A FDOT OFFICER WHO DID OPEN IT AND STAYED WITH ME IN POURING RAIN UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME! AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING BELT BROKE NOT GIVING ME ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER AND RESULTED IN MY ENGINE FAILURE. THEY STATED I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE AT A COST OF OVER $7000!!! I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED HOW THIS ALL HAPPENED! NO WARNING! NO WAY TO HAVE KNOWN THERE WAS AN ISSUE OR THAT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING! CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND HOSE WERE REPLACED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,101.

A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STALLED OUT AND DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND ALL I COULD DO WAS TO LET IT COME TO A STOP AFTER TRYING TO STEER IT FAILED. CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL, IT ONLY MADE A SLIGHT NOISE WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT WENT TOTALLY DEAD. HAD IT TOWED HOME AND CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC. WAS TOLD THAT MY SPARK PLUGS WERE BURNED OUT AND THE OIL PUMP FAILED, THENHAD SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, THATS WHEN IT STARTED AND STOPPED FOR GOOD. THAT'S WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE OIL PUMP AND HE TRIED TURNING THE FRONT PART OF THE MOTOR IT WOULD NOT TURN, HE THEN TOLD ME I NEED A MOTOR. I'VE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND HAVE PROOF. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO THE CHRYSLER 300'S. I'M LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T GET HURT OR IN A BAD WRECK. IS CHRYSLER GOING TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM OR WAIT TILL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I'M JUST ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED OR REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, NOW I'M STRANDED AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A CAR. THEY NEED TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WAS ABOUT TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY. I ALSO BEEN HAVING COOLANT LEAKING AND CAR RAN HOT SEVERAL TIMES, COULDN'T FIND WHERE THE COOLANT LEAK WAS, HAD TO CHECK EVERY OTHER DAY AND ADD MORE COOLANT. NO COOLANT WAS ON THE GROUND UNDER THE CAR. BECAME HARD TO START AND HAD ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FREEWAY SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TO WAIT FOR IT TO COOL OFF BEFORE CHECKING AND ADDING MORE COOLANT, AND WAITED AWHILE LONGER BEFORE STARTING IT TO DRIVE HOME. CHR CHRYSLER NEED TO BUY THIS CAR BACK. IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF, LOOKS NEW, HAS NO DENTS AND NO RUST, INSIDE IS CLEAN, NO DAMAGE, ONLY LITTLE WEAR. I'M THE ONLY OWNER.

2006 CHRYSLER 300C DIES SEVERAL TIMES AFTER REFUELING, WHICH OBVIOUSLY DISABLES THE POWER STEERING. THIS WILL HAPPEN UP TO 10 TIMES AND THEN THE CAR WILL RUN PROPERLY UNTIL THE NEXT REFUELING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 18 MONTHS.

2006 CHRYSTLER 300C 5.7L HEMI WILL RANDOMLY DIE WHEN SITTING IDLE, AND WHILE IN MID DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY AT 75MPH OR IN TOWN AT 30MPH OR AT A STOP LIGHT 0MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO EVERYONE IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE WILL STALL CAUSING IT EITHER A.)DIE OR B.) LUNGE FORWARD AND POSSIBLY HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND STALL. I ALWAYS USE 91-93 OCTANE FUEL FROM THE KROGER FUEL STATIONS, AND WHEN LEAVING THE LAST FEW TIMES I'VE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING UP TO SPEED WITHOUT THE CAR GETTING TO SPEED OR STALLING. IT WILL RESTART NORMALLY PRETTY EASILY OTHER THAN YESTERDAY WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT, IT KEPT STALLING COMING HOME, SHE PARKED IT, AND THE NEXT MORNING IT REFUSED TO START. IT TOOK A WHILE BUT AFTER STARTING AND RUNNING IT A BIT, IT'S RUNNING FINE. VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY IN FOR CHECKUP AT 78900 MILES (80K CHECKUP) AND HAS JUST OVER 80K ON IT NOW. I'M AN ADULT DISABLED DRIVER, IT GETS DRIVEN JUST NOT FAR AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

CAR WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING FOR NO REASON JUST LIKE THAT. VERY DANGER, WE CHANCE EVERY POSSIBLE THINK IN THIS CAR INCLUDED THE COMPUTER. I SPEND OVER $2700. AND STILL. THIS CAR IS DRIVE CRAZY .MOSTLY ON STOP SIGH , AND TURNING. RPM GO UP AND DOWN
