2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

MY 2005 300C HAS BEEN STALLING SINCE JANUARY 2014, I LATER FOUND OUT DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL TANK. I HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF STALLING AND ENGINE SHUTTERING HARD, AND VERY HARD RESTARTS ALMOST GETTING T-BONED TWO TIMES DURING THE STALL AND RESTART PROCESS. WHILE ON THE WAITING LIST FOR A NEW TANK, MY HEMI ENGINE BLEW UP COSTING 6K FOR A NEW MOTOR. THIS ENGINE WAS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED WITH RECORDS, I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ASKED THEIR ENGINEERS TO INVESTIGATE "IF THE ENGINE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE TANK HYDRO LOCKING". AFTER MANY CALLS TO UNHELPFUL PEOPLE, SOME OF WHOM DID NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE TANK ISSUE, THE SUPERVISOR REFUSED TO ESCALATE MY REQUEST TO ENGINEERING AND SUMMARILY CLOSED THE CASE, IN SPITE OF HIS EMPLOYEE FIRST TELLING ME TO PROVE IT AND HELPING ME GET A TEAR DOWN QUOTE FROM THE LOCAL DEALER FOR A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS. SO NOW THEY SAY EVEN IF I PROVE IT, THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE IF TANKS ARE THE CAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURES AND THEY CLOSED MY CASE. I THINK IT IS DOUBLY UNSAFE IF THE BAD TANKS ARE ALSO BLOWING ENGINES, AND IT IS BAD CORPORATE BEHAVIOR TO DENY A LINK BUT REFUSE TO HAVE THE ENGINEERING DEPT. LOOK AT THE POSSIBILITY OF A LINKAGE. THE OUTRIGHT REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE OR ASSIST EVEN IF/WHEN I PROVE THAT THE TANK CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BLOW, IS BEYOND UNETHICAL AND I REQUEST THAT THE LINK BETWEEN BAD TANKS AND BLOWN ENGINES BE INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA AND SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED, AND OTHER APPROPRIATE MEASURE TO MITIGATE THIS. *JS

THIS CAR HAS ISSUES FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO ELECTRICAL THE COMPANY NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THEM BETTER. *TR

I HAVE A HEMI ENGINE. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR IT STARTED STALLING ON ME WHEN MY GAS TANK WAS ON EMPTY AND I FILED IT UP. ON THE FREEWAY A FEW TIMES AND IT STALLS!! I TOOK TO DIFFERENT SHOPS AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT. NOW MY PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. IT STALLS ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER GAS. IT SPIT AND JERKS. COMPLETELY DANGEROUS. I AM A ACCIDENT INJURY ADJUSTER THAT DOES CLAIMS EVERYDAY ALL DAY, AND IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS , I WILL SUE BOTH CHRYSLER AND NHTSA. SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND AS I AM GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED AND WANT THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WHEN I START MY CAR (2005 CHRYSLER 300C) THE GEAR SHIFT IS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. CAR STARTS NORMALLY, NO READINGS ON DASH, GAVE NO INDICATION THAT A FAILURE WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND GAVE MY VIN NUMBER TO CHECK FOR RECALLS, THERE ARE NONE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND VIDEOS ON HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WHEN I SEARCHED THE ISSUE ON LINE. CHRYSLER USED WHAT AMOUNTS TO A PLASTIC TIE AND A SPRING TO CONTROL A 35K VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LIKE THE KEY WOULD BE PULLED OUT, WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY, SOME TIMES WOULD NOT START AT ALL BEFORE A TRIP. IT HAPPENS DAILY AND AFTER GOING TO 3 MECHANICS AND 1 CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THE ISSUE CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED. NO CODES ARE STORED AND THEREFORE THEY SAID IT'S WORKING FINE. DO I NEED TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED? I KNOW ABOUT MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME UNIDENTIFIED ERROR. THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE NEW MODELS AND THEY SHOULD START CHECKING THE OLD ONE AS WELL. IT IS DEFINITELY AN IGNITION PROBLEM AS THE CAR CAN BE STARTED BY BYPASSING THE KEY SWITCH. *TR

THE CAR STALLS ON ALL TURNS. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND FREEWAYS. I HAVE HEARD THAT THESE GAS TANKS ARE DEFECTED. *TR

CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK. COULD NOT MOVE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF PARK POSITION. I WAS IN A UNSAFE AREA AND HAD NO WAY HOME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE AFTER BEING STRANDED FOR 2 HOURS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINT ARTICLES FOR SAME PROBLEM WITH SAME MAKE AND MODEL. FOUND A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 ON INTERNET. CALLED THE NUMBER TO CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER LISTED IN THE NOTIFICATION ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THE LETTER ADDRESSED 2005 CHRYSLER 300S MY VIN DID NOT APPLY. ALSO CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, SAME ANSWER, CANT HELP ME UNLESS I PAY. NOW I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION TO WORK OR OTHERWISE AND HAVE TO PAY TO GET VEHICLE TOWED AND FIND A MECHANIC THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM FOR $$. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER/DODGE OWNERS AND DUE TO NOTIFICATION THEY ARE QUITE AWARE. VERY UNSAFE TO LEAVE PEOPLE, CHILDREN STRANDED DUE TO THIS FAULTY PLASTIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOC RETURN SPRING HOOK. *TR
