2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

AT A STOP OR LOW SPEED THE CAR WILL SPUTTER, CHUG, JUMP AND DIE. NO DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON. CAR WILL RESTART. IT MAY OCCUR AT STOP LIGHTS, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS OR WHEN PARKING. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT WAS A FUEL TANK PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300'S HAVE BEEN HAD, BUT MY MODEL WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I SEE THAT OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER A NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13016. IN MY CASE, I DO NOT KNOW IF THE PROBLEM HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL LEVEL OR THE TANK BEING RECENTLY FILLED. IT IS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE CAR CAN DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, OR MAYBE IN A PARKING LOT WHEN YOU ARE PARKING, OR BRAKING FOR OTHER CARS OR PEDESTRIANS. WHEN YOU SUDDENLY HAVE NO POWER AND CAN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE IT IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND GET THESE TANKS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THANK YOU. *TR

ALL 4 TIRES ARE DISINTEGRATING FROM THE INSIDE OUT ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC. THEY LOOK GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT HE SAID THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND TO TAKE BACK TO COSTCO FOR EXCHANGE. THEY ARE ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THEN 30000 MILES OUT OF 90000 WARRANTY. BRAND IS MICHELIN HYDROEDGE, WHICH IS NOT LISTED IN DESCRIPTIONS. DON'T HAVE DOT # AS CAR IS AT THE MECHANIC. *TR

DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A RURAL DIVIDED HIGHWAY AT APPROX 65MPH ALL EXTERNAL LIGHTS GO OUT. ALL DASH, NAVIGATION, AND WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON FULL BRIGHTNESS. COULD NOT SEE OUTSIDE. HAD TO COME TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND LIGHTS OPERATED NORMALLY. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. SEEMS TO HAPPEN OFTEN MORE WHEN COLD OUTSIDE. *TR

IN REFERENCE TO PE13016, THE ACTION REFERS TO CARS FROM MODEL YEARS 2005 AND 2006. YET, THE FINAL INVESTIGATION RESULTS ONLY INCLUDE THE 2006 MODEL YEAR? IF 2005 CARS ARE AFFECTED (AS MINE HAS BEEN SINCE 2011 AND IS DOCUMENTED IN 300C USER FORUMS ON THE INTERNET BY ME AT THE TIME), THEN WHY IS MY CAR NOT INCLUDED? I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW, SOME OWNERS ARE RECEIVING "LIFETIME WARRANTY" LETTERS FOR THE 19-GAL GAS TANK THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE SUDDEN STALLS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER, YET MY CAR DOES HAVE (AND WAS FOUND BY THE NHTSA THAT 2005 MODEL YEAR WAS AFFECT) THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO NOT FILL UP THE GAS TANK EVERYTIME. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED, YET I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. PLEASE ADVISE ME (IN WRITING OR BY PHONE) AS TO WHY YOU FOUND 2005 CARS PROBLEMATIC, YET ONLY INCLUDED 2006 CARS IN YOUR FINAL INVESTIGATION SUMMARY TO BE AFFECTED. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY CAR WITH GAS THE CAR STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. CAR RESTARTS BUT IF ON HIGHWAY ALL POWER IS LOST - SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

WHILE DROPPING MY GRANDCHILDREN OFF HOME. MY CHRYSLER 300C HEMI ENGINE AFTER SHUT OFF DID NOT RESTART. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, IT WAS STATED THAT THE VALVE SEAT DROP, CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PISTON. A REVIEW OF INFORMATION ONLINE REVIEWED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER GAS TANK IS FILLED UP. CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND AT INTERSECTIONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. REVIEW ON INTERNET SHOWS THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. CURRENT SOLUTION IS TO AVOID FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. *JS

EVERY TIME AFTER GAS FILL UP FROM THE FIRST TIME IN DEC 2012 TO NOW, THIS CAR STALLS AFTER FILL UP. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN MAY 2004 FROM CHRYSLER DEALER AND ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN WITH BOSAK CHRYSLER. I WAS THINKING GAS FILTERS, BUT UNTIL I CHECKED HERE TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL, FOUND THAT TOO MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T SEE ANY NOTIFICATIONS FILED BY CHRYSLER, ARE WE ALL TO ASSUME THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. *TR

MY DAUGHTER (12YRS.) AND I WERE ON THE FREEWAY/CAR POOL LANE (DOUBLE YELLOW LINES) AND THE CAR STALLED/TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. I TRIED NOT TO PANIC BUT I DAUGHTER DID WHEN THE LIGHTS, ENGINE AND NOT TO MENTION THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. AT THIS TIME I HAD TO CROSS OVER THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE AND CUT OFF A FEW CARS WHO ALL MOST REAR ENDED ME, ALL CARS HONKED AT ME AND MY LITTLE ONE WAS FREAKING OUT. IT TOOK 24 MINUTES TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY BECAUSE IT KEPT STALLING AND WOULDN'T CONTINUE TO STAY ON. THIS IS A VERY UN SAFE SITUATION, I PRAY NO ONE GETS HURT FROM THIS. CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AND TURN OFF AND AT THIS TIME IT'S JUST SITTING BECAUSE OF FUNDS AND JUST FED UP WITH THIS CAR.... NOT MENTION MY PARKING LOCK MECHANISM BROKE LAST MONTH AND MY ENGINE BLOWN DUE TIMINGS CHAIN STRETCHING. HAD TO REBUILD THE WHOLE ENGINE THAT COST ME $5,000.00, SO YOU KNOW AT THIS TIME I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN. I NEW I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH CHEVROLET! !!!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE LIGHTS TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON. THIS HAS OCCUR ON MANY TIMES. I RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SUPPOSE TO HAD THE ECU. THAT WORK FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I RETURN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAS CONTINUES TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND NO PROBLEM. NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY NAV SYSTEM AND THE RADIO LIGHTNING. *TR
