2006 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

2006 CHRYSLER 300C | ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING | POSSIBLY TIPM-RELATED I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C JUST SHORT OF 6 MONTHS AGO. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK, AS I WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THE IGNITION COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHILE THE POWER WAS STILL ACTIVE, I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL I TURNED OVER THE VEHICLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THINKING IT WAS POSSIBLY A FRINGE ISSUE I IGNORED TO ISSUE. FAST FORWARDING TO TODAY, MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED ROUGHLY 25-50 OCCURRENCES OF THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT ONLY SEEMS TO WORK WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT AND WHAT CONCERNS ME MOST IS THAT EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I AM ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MY WIFE AND FIVE CHILDREN.

I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY MY CHRYSLER 300 C 5.7 HEMI SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD CAR COASTED CAUSE EVERYTHING SHUT OFF I PUT IT IN PARK TRIED TO RESTART CAR WOULDN'T START DID IT A FEW TIMES CAR STARTED AND DIED IDLED ROUGH FELT LIKE I WAS RUNNING OUTA GAS WOULD STAY AT THE RIGHT ROMA KEEP STALLING OUT SO I GAVE IT GAS AND CAR STOPPED SHAKING AND RAN FINE A MONTH LATER DID THE SAME THING THIS TIME CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID RANDOM MULTI MISFIRE ALL CYLINDERS I SPENT 1800 REPLACING THE COIL PACKS PLUGS AND STILL DIDN'T FIX IT TURNS OUT THE VALVE SEAT DROPPED AND CHEWED ONE PISTON UP ALL TOO HECK NEEDS A NEW MOTOR ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR $ MONTHS HAS 112,000 MILES ON IT DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR NEW MOTOR CARS JUST SITTING WITH HEAD OFF AND VALVE SEAT IS GONE

THE DEALERSHIP EARNHARDTS HAD ME PAY 100 IN CASH FOR A RECALL==AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CUP PLUG 05V460000. I HAVE RECEIPT. THE PART THAT CONTROLS PLACING CAR IN D, R, N... WAS STUCK IN PARK. I HAD TO GET CAR TOWED AND PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

ALL 4 HANDLER ARE ABLE TO COME PARTIALLY OFF THE CAR, I TAPED IT BACK WITH GORILLA CLEAR TAPE AS A BODY SHOP WANTS ME TO PAY $200 PER HANDLE. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS CRASHED INTO AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE AND THEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE REPAIRS DIAGNOSED WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IT DROPPED THE #7 VALVE SEAT AND NEVER OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE RAN FINE, UNTIL I GOT BACK IN THE NEXT DAY AND STARTED IT. IT IMMEDIATELY HAPPENED AT THAT TIME. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE, AND TO FIX COSTS UPWARDS OF $8000.

THE CAR JUST DIED ON ME IN FULL TRAFFIC, TRAVELING AT 45 MILES PER HOUR. CARS SPEEDING ALL AROUND ME, AND MINE JUST DIED. DEALER CLAIMED THAT THE COMPUTER DIED AND IT FRIED THE 2 FUEL PUMPS FOR A TOTAL EXPENSE TO FIX OF MORE THAN $2000. THIS IS SUCH A TERRIBLE DESIGN ON CHRYSLER'S PART THAT IT COULD DO THIS. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND GET PAID FOR BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER THAT DID THE WORK WAS PERFOMANCE CHRYSLER AT 95 LOOP RD, DAYTON, OH 45459

ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF AND THEN HEADLIGHTS GO OFF AND INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASH ALL TURN OFF - WHILE DRIVING! THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE! IT WAS DARK WHEN THIS LAST HAPPENED AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL OVER TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR BACK ON IT SEEMS TO BE OK. BUT VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. NO INDICATORS APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS OCCURS IN THE MORNING AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND DRIVING LESS THAN ONE HALF MILE. WHEN I COME TO A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF.

VEHICLE STALL WITH EVERY FUEL FILL UP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE.
