2006 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

MY VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 2 YEAR HAVE A SHIFTING PROBLEM. I CAN'T GET IT INTO GEAR AND GO OVER 28 MPH. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE SECOND TIME I WAS INVOLVED INTO A ACCIDENT BECAUSE TEA WENT FROM 50 MPH TO 30 MPH BACK TO 50 MPH TO A BARRICADE ON THE HIGHWAY. MY INSURANCE COVER THE REPAIRS AND A WEEK LATER STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND MECHANIC SAID IT?S NOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HE BELIEVE IT A SENSOR PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME I JUST NEEDED NEW BRAKES. I SHIP IT FROM HAWAII TO NEW YORK AND THE MECHANIC REPLACE THE SENSOR IT WAS FINE FOR A WEEK. I DROVE IT TO VA FOR MANDATORY TRAINING AND IT COMPLETELY DIE ON ME BACK TO DRIVING UNDER 28 MPH. MY CAR IS STATIONARY IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN VA BECAUSE IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG...*BF *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED AT MASSEY YARDLEY JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (777 SR 7, PLANTATION, FL), THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD A LEAK AND THE CYLINDER HEAD, WATER PUMP, TIMING CHAIN COVER, AND GASKETS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND CLEANED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY COVER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS), AND ANY CLAIMS WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE THIRD PARTY INSURANCE COMPANY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 127,200.

AS I'M DRIVING MY CAR IT WILL SHUT OFF/ STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.DOES NOT MATTER IF I STOP AT A RED LIGHT/ STOP SIGN, DRIVING FAST/ SLOW, HIGHWAY/ STREET, TURNING A CORNER/ PARKING THE CAR WILL TURN OFF. AFTER TAKING IT TO 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND THE DEALER. NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. IT IS STILL UNKNOWN. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT BUT I HAVE TO WORK.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOT NOTIFIED THAT I WAS IN DANGER AND MY CAR WAS PART OF RECALL AND NEEDED TO REPLACE AIRBAG

CAR HAS STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A CITY STREET ABOUT 35 MILES SPEED LIMIT WITHOUT WARNING. WHAT WORRIES ME IS THAT MY 3 YEAR OLD RIDES WITH ME. I DON'T WANT IT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SINCE I'M GOING THE SPEED LIMIT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST SHUTS OFF CAUSING ME TO STOP AT A HALT. I HAVEN'T SEEN OR RECEIVED ANY RECALL ABOUT THIS THAT'S WHY I'M REPORTING IT. IF YOU CAN PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS EVERYONE AFFECTED WOULD APPRECIATE IT. I SAW AN ONLINE THREAD ABOUT SIMILAR COMPLAINS. 2 LIGHTS ALSO COME ON ON THE DASH.

PROBLEM: MOMENTARY LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE AND ETC LIGHTS FLASH. SOMETIMES STALLS COMPLETELY (WHEN VERY SLOW OR STOPPED). IT HAS STOPPED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE TURNING. TO STALL WHILE TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC IS UNSAFE. PARTS REPLACED SO FAR: GAS TANK (RECALL) GAS PUMP ACCELERATOR PEDAL DIAGNOSIS: APPARENT INTERMITTENT CONNECTION AT THE PCM. LAST REPAIR ATTEMPT(11/29/17) THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED THE CONNECTION BY ALIGNING THE PINS (APPARENTLY SOME HAD PUSHED THROUGH THE BOARD) & CLEANING THE CONNECTION. IT HAS WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS SINCE THEN, BUT IS FAILING AGAIN. THE TECHNICIAN NOW SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE), POSSIBLY DUE TO BROKEN SOLDER JOINTS ON THE BOARD THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO PCMS AVAILABLE FROM DEALERS AND THERE ARE 67 UNITS ON BACKORDER IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS . . . MANY WITH SIMILAR FAILURE MODES. FROM THE REPAIR SHOP: "DIAGNOSED AND TRACED MULTIPLE FAULTS TO COMMUNICATION LOSS AT POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. REMOVED UNIT FROM HOLDER AND WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING IF THE UNIT IT TAPPED OR SHAKEN THE ENGINE WILL STUMBLE OR STALL. - CONTACTED COMPUTER REPAIR SHOP AND THIS IS VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR SEVERAL CHRYSLER IN LAST MONTH OR SO . THE MAIN PROCESSOR GETS LOOSE ON CIRCUIT BOARD BUT THE CONTACTS ARE SO TINY REPAIR IS NOT POSSIBLE. NO LOCAL DEALERS HAVE UNIT AND THERE ARE 67 ON BACK ORDER IN LAST WEEKS."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. COURTESY DODGE IN GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN (616-452-2143) AND VAN ANDEL AND FLIKKEMA CHRYSLER JEEP IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI (616-363-9031) ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO EITHER OF THE DEALERS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,700.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT SHUTS OFF OR STALLS AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. IT HAS TRIED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, STALLED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ETC. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. WE TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND THE CAR DID NOT STALL WHILE IT WAS THERE SO THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. I HAVE A VIDEO THAT I CAN SHARE BUT I CANNOT UPLOAD IT.
