2006 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF LOSING ALL POWER. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED AS I DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED KEY TO OFF POSITION AND TURNED BACK ON AND IT STARTED. THEN AS I WAS DRIVING AGAIN THE ENGINE STARTED LURCHING AND STUTTERING AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF THEN TURNED BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES. THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK IT DID IT AGAIN TURNED OFF ON FREEWAY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AT 70 MPH. I SEE ONLINE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE. I CALLED THE CHRYSELR DEALER AND THEY WOULD NOT EVEN LISTEN TO THE ISSUE BUT OFFERED A $1800 FIX, SAME FIX THAT IS RECORDED ONLINE THAT DOESNT WORK

MY CAR WILL STALL AT ANY TIME. ON THE FREEWAY AND IN TOWN. IT HAS NO WARNINGS. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR ENDED HONKED AND STUCK IN A TRAFFIC JAMS. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. ITS HAD NEW GAS TANK, NEW COMPUTER, THROTTLE SENSOR EGR VALVE AND HAS NO CODES TO GO BY TO FIX IT. ITS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY KEEP WANTING MORE MONEY TO TRY AND FIX IT WHILE JUST GUESSING. DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAVE DRIVEN IT HOME AND IT STALLS ON THEM BUT THEY STILL CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. ITS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE GEAR SHIFTER LOCKED IN A PARKED POSITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT PART OF THE GEAR SHIFTER LEVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED STAR CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM AT (718) 479-6200 (211-10 JAMAICA AVE, JAMAICA, NY 11428) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000. *BF UPDATED 7/27/18*JB

WHEN SITTING IN PARK AND CAR RUNNING IT SURGES UP AND DOWN. WHEN IN DRIVE AND SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR ANYTHING THAT U HAVE TO STOP FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME, MEANING SECONDS, THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND SHUT OFF OR STALL. IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME, ANY TIME. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND RESTART IF YOU DON'T DO IT THAT WAY IT WILL START AND SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR ON 9/22/2017 AND IT HAS HAPPENED EVERYDAY SINCE. I'VE LEARNED THAT IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE SITTING FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL OR AT AN ABRUPT STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE DEALER (CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 53 HOLLZ PKWY, NEWNAN, GA, 30265) WAS CONTACTED AT 678-369-6037. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT OF AIR BAGS RECALLS, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR ENGINE STALLING. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT THE CONTACT SCHEDULE A APPOINTMENT HOWEVER THE APPOINTMENT WAS NOT SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ONE MORNING AND JUST OUT OF THE BLUE I HEAR THIS LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. UPON FARTHER INSPECTION THE RATTLING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE OIL PAN AREA UNDER THE CAR. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ROD BEARINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE COMING FROM THE FACTORY.

WHEN MY KEY IS TURNED TO THE "ON" POSITION WITHOUT FULLY STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT STARTS STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WILL NOT START WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL RETURN TO NORMAL PERFORMANCE. BY NORMAL PERFORMANCE, I MEAN IT WILL START WITHOUT PRESSING GAS PEDAL AND NO STALLING AT LOW SPEED. WHEN TAKING VEHICLE FOR ROUTINE SERVICES, I MUST INFORM THE TECHNICIANS NOT TO PLACE KEY IN THE "ON" POSITION OR THE PROBLEM START ALL OVER AGAIN. SO FAR, I'VE HAD ONE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNINGS, WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY, COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT MY CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHEN I START IT BACK UP AND TAKE OFF THE CAR WILL SOUND LIKE IT WILL WANT TO CUT OFF AGAIN AND START JERKING. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. SOMEONE CAN HIT ME FROM BEHIND IF CAR JUST STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
