2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

UPON STARTING AUTOMOBILE TO GO SHOPPING DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL TO PUT TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT UNLOCK COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK CAR HAD TO BE FLAT BEDDED TO DODGE DEALER. FOR REPAIR. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FULL OR PARTIAL FILL-UP AT GAS STATION. VERY DANGEROUS IF STALL OCCURS WHEN IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC OR WHEN MAKING TURNS IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC!! *TR

ON JANUARY 8, 2014 AT APPROX 2:45 PM I FILLED UP WITH GAS AND CONTINUED HOME 1 BLOCK, AS I ENTERED MY UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE MY CAR STALLED, AS I STARTED IT UP, I HEARD LIQUID, I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT IN THE GARAGE TO CHECK IT OUT, HOWEVER IT KEPT STALLING. I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE CAME THE NEXT MORNING TO CHECK IT OUT, AND MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SHOP. IT TOOK 2 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, NO CODE CAME UP AS IT WAS CHECKED VIA COMPUTER. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE ROTATOR VALVE ATTACHED TO THE GAS TANK WAS STUCK/BROKEN AND REQUIRED A NEW GAS TANK, THE GAS WENT INTO THE CHARCOAL CANNISTER, ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND 2 NEW FUEL PUMPS AS WELL. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN HUNDRED IF NOT MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENING TO OTHERS, THIS COST ME $2400.00 JUST FOR GETTING GAS. I ALSO SAW ISSUES REPORTED FOR THE INNER TIE ROD AND THAT WAS CONFIRMED BAD BY MY MECHANIC AS WELL AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CALL CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES LEAVING A MESSAGE AND TO DATE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK. I FEEL THIS WAS NOT SOME SMALL ROUTINE REPAIR BILL AND WITH THE AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, CHRYSLER SHOULD OF MADE THE REPAIRS OR REIMBURSE THE DAMAGES, NUMEROUS YEARS OF THIS MODEL AND SEVERAL OTHER CHRYSLER DODGE MAKES AND MODELS HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINTS-MAYBE A RECALL SHOULD OF TAKEN PLACE. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING LOOKED INTO IF THERE IS ANY OPTION FOR A REIMBURSEMENT IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. HAD I CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON THE ROUTE 62 AT 45MPH THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS I STALLED DRIVING. *TR

WHEN I COMPLETELY FILL MY GAS TANK, MY CAR WILL STALL FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MILES AT IDLE SPEEDS. SO EVERY TIME I STOP AT A LIGHT, I BASICALLY HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR FOR A MILE OR TWO UNTIL SOME GAS IS USED. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT COMPLETELY AND RESTART THE CAR AS THE CAR WON'T GO INTO GEAR (IE: THE GEARS NEED TO RESET). THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING PERIODICALLY WHILE THE CARE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY WITH GAS. I HAVE A SON AND DAUGHTER THAT ARE STARTING TO DRIVE THIS YEAR, AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO LET THEM DRIVE THIS CAR. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL LONG AGO AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO WONDERING, IF I PAY THE $1,500 TO PUT IN A NEW GAS TANK AND THERE ULTIMATELY IS A RECALL, WILL I BE ABLE TO GET REIMBURSED? THAT WOULD BE VERY USEFUL INFORMATION. THANK YOU. *TR

CAR STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP , HARD TO RESTART ONLY AFTER FILL UP AT GAS STATION WITH FULL TANK OF GAS, REACHES 3/4 TANK OF GAS CAR RUNS FINE. *TR

NEW ENGINE INSTALLED IN 2008: EVERY TIME, AFTER I PUT FUEL INTO THE GAS TANK AND DRIVE AWAY, THE ENGINE SURGES AND THEN STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE 15 MIN TRIP HOME. AT TIMES THE CAR SURGES FORWARD AND I HAVE TO BREAK TO AVOID HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR IS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 HEMI WITH A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED IN 2008. MY ORIGINAL ENGINE WAS FLOODED WITH WATER, HENCE THE REPLACEMENT. *TR

I OWN A CHRYSLER 2005 300C. THE HAD NO FUEL PROBLEMS UNTIL THE ODOMETER REACHED APPROX. 50K MILES. IT THEN STARTED TO STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I WOULD HAVE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE IN PARK OR DRIVING UNDER 60 MPH. I HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHICH CREATED SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES UNLESS I GOT IT RESTARTED QUICKLY. I WOULD HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER DRIVING FOR A DAY OR SO. I HAVE ASKED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IF THERE WERE ANY TSB'S ON THE PROBLEM ANS HAVE BEEN TOLD NO. OWNERS ON THE CHRYSLER'S OWNER FORUM WITH MY TYPE OF CAR ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE AND SAY THAT THERE IS AN ISSUES WITH THE GAS TANKS THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. *TR
