FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS AND THE CAR DIED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF THE GAS STATION. RESTARTED THE CAR AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TWO MORE TIMES. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED AFTER EVER FILL UP SINCE. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE MAY 1ST 2015. THE ISSUES WITH IT DYING STARTED HAPPENING THE VERY FIRST FILL UP. WE JUST FIGURED IT WAS A VAPOR LOCK BUT AFTER READING THE COMPLIANTS, OVIOUSLY NOT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS SOMEONE IS GOING TO HURT.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2015 IT SHUT OFF. STOPPED CAR AND RESTARTED IT BUT KEPT SHUTTING OFF. GOT HOME AND DISCONNECTED BATTERY WHILE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND CAR SHUT OFF. CHANGED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. TODAY 5/11/15, WHILE DRIVING I PUT A/C ON AND CAR SHUT OFF. GOT CAR HOME AND ANALYZED PROBLEM. WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING CAR IDLES LOW THEN SHUTS OFF. HOWEVER WHEN A/C IS ON OR OFF CAR SHUTS OFF. ANY RECALLS? VERY FRUSTRATED!

ON 4/15/2015 AND 5/7/2015 THE ENGINE ON OUR CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING AS I WAS MAKING A TURN AT THE INTERSECTION OF TWO STREETS. WE LOST ALL POWER BRAKES AND STEERING TO THE CAR AND I HAD TO LET IT COAST OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I MANUALLY STOPPED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN PARKING GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE ON THE FIRST TRY AND CONTINUED MY TRIP. OBVIOUSLY, THIS RECURRING PROBLEM IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO US AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ADVISE ON WHAT WE SHOULD DO TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTED A.S.A.P. WE HAVE THE CAR SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIC AND WE DO NOT NEGLECT THE CAR. *TR

MY WIFE WAS TAKING OUR TWO KIDS TO SCHOOL WHEN THE CAR MADE A HORRIBLE NOISE WHEN FIRST TRYING TO START THE CAR EARLY IN THE MORNING. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND THAT THE CYLINDER VALVE SEAT FELL OFF THE CYLINDER HEAD AND FELL DOWN INTO THE PISTON CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VALVES AND PISTON. REPLACING THE ENGINE FOR $8000 WAS AN OPTION, HOWEVER YOU ARE REPLACING IT WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURES DEFECT OF THIS ENGINE FOR 2005-2006 CHRYSLER 300 C. THIS HAPPENED 4 MONTHS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

THE K39 TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK LEAVER WENT BAD. IT WOULD NOT LET ME TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2007 CHRYLSER 300C, BUT NOT ON THE 2005. I FOUND NUMEROUS CLAIM ON LINE ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PIECE IN THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. *TR

WE WERE ON A CROSS-COUNTRY TRIP AND ONE NIGHT WE HAD JUST FILLED UP AND WENT ACROSS THE PARKING LOT TO A FAST FOOD WINDOW AND WHILE GETTING OUR FOOD THE CAR STARTING JERKING AND DIED. IT WAS HARD TO START BUT FINALLY WE WERE ABLE TO GO A LITTLE FURTHER AND IT DIED AT OUR HOTEL. THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WHENEVER WE FILLED UP THE CAR WOULD STALL SEVERAL TIMES. IT STOPPED FOR AWHILE BUT RECENTLY HAS STARTED DYING AGAIN WHEN I FILL UP. LAST NIGHT I FILLED UP AND THE CAR DIED SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC. WE DO NOT OVERFILL AND TIGHTEN THE GAS CAP TIGHTLY. *TR
