2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, MY CHRYSLER 300C WOULD OCCASIONALLY STALL. MOSTLY IT WOULD BE AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR WOULD STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I JUST RECENTLY REALIZED, IT WOULD OCCUR WHEN I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS SHOCKING THAT AN ISSUE LIKE THIS COULD GO THIS LONG WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS, DUE TO THIS ISSUE... I COULD SEE THIS ISSUE BECOMING MORE OF AN NOTICEABLE PROBLEM, DUE TO THE LOWER GAS PRICES. I USUALLY PUT IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY WHEN I FILL UP. NOT UNTIL MORE RECENTLY, WITH THE LOWER GAS PRICES, THAT AMOUNT FILLS MY TANK. THAT IS WHY IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO REALIZE THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK. *TR

I STARTING DRIVING FROM THE INTERSECTION THE LIGHT HAD JUST TURNED GREEN. AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE INTERSECTION THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAR AND STOPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. MY WORK ASSOCIATE WHO WAS IN THE WITH ME SAID THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE I HAD JUST LOSS MY REAR-END. WHEN I GOT THE CAR TO MY PRIVATE MECHANIC HE SAID THE REAR-END WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACING. *TR

NO "ACCIDENT" HAS HAPPENED AS YET. THE AIR BAGS OUTFITTED IN THIS CAR ARE MANUFACTURED BY TANAKA AND THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. IN ALL CLIMATES, THE BAGS HAVE EXPLODED ARE INJURED OR KILLED A PERSON IN THE CAR. CHRYSLER IS ONLY DEALING WITH SELECT CLIMATES FOR AN ACTION THEY ARE TAKING. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL TAKE NO ACTION AT THIS TIME. HOPEFULLY, THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE ACTION AND I WILL BE WILLING TO JOIN CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS. AT PRESENT, IF I AM TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I WOULD BE ENDANGERING MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS. *TR
