I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND ON FREEWAY BY DRUNK DRIVER AND PUSHED INTO SIDE WALL ON HIGHWAY. IN THE PROCESS MY SEATBELT UNLOCKED AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH HE HIT ME GOING CLOSE 100MPH.*DT*JB*DT THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PHOTOS. *TR

THE FUEL TANK LEAKS FUEL INTO THE CABIN AMY ANY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED MORE THAN HALF WAY UP; THAT OR ANY TIME IT IS MORE THAN A QUARTER FULL AND DRIVEN ON A STEEP HILL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 7 OR 8 YEARS OR MORE NOW...IT STARTED IN AROUND 2012 I THINK, WHEN THE CAR HAD JUST OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT. I AM NEVER ABLE TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK BECAUSE OF IT. , AND IF I NEED TO GO UP OR DOWN A STEEP HILL (AND THERE ARE STEEP HILLS AND DRIVEWAYS ALL OVER THE AREA I LIVE IN), THE FUEL LEAKS INTO THE CAR AND THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, THE CAR STARTS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND DRIVES OFF WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AS THE CAR SLOWS DOWN WHETHER STOPPING OR TURNING THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN THE CAR VEERS INTO THE OTHER LANE BECAUSE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THE CAR HAS TO STOPPED BEFORE IT CAN BE RESTARTED. ALSO IF YOU ARE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AFTER REFILLING WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE WILL REACH THE DESIRED SPEED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, AFTER MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AS SOON THE DESIRED SPEED IS REACH AND THE MOTOR SLOWS, THE CAR MOTOR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. THIS SCENARIO WILL CONTINUE UNTIL SOME GAS IS BURNED OUT OF THE GAS TANK. AFTERWARDS THE CARS RUNS FINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THE INSPECTION BECAUSE THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

MY CAR STALLS 3 TO 4 TIMES WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK WENT TO LAKE WALES CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP LOCATED AT 21529 US-27 LAKE WALES,FLORIDA 33859 TEL# 863-676-0733 TO GET THE SHUTOFF FLOAT AND VALVE AND FUEL TANK REPLACED JUST LIKE THE NHTSA RECOMMENDS IT'S BEEN 4 MONTHS AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING

MY CHRYSLER 330 WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK ,SHUTS OFF FREQUENTLY WHEN DRIVING..I HAVE NO BRAKES,POWER STEERING,& ENGINE SHUTOFF..I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF HIGHWAY & ROADS W/ LUCK 7 NOT CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS..I THINK NHTSA # ON THIS ISSUE IS-PE-13016..IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT I HOPE GETS CORRECTED ASAP..THX FOR YOUR HELP...THIS HAPPEN 3 PLUS TIMES...

I WENT TO THE GAS STATION, 2-ISH MILE DRIVE AND CAME BACK HOME. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER WE DECIDED TO GO SEE MY MOTHER IN LAW, 34 HIGHWAY MILES AWAY. COOL, SO WE GO, EVERYTHING IS FINE, BEASTIE (THAT'S THE NAME OF MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300), IS RUNNING GOOD, MY HUSBAND AND 3YR OLD ARE JAMMIN OUT TO METALLICA, AND WE GET TO MY MOTHER IN LAWS HOUSE.. STAY A COUPLE HOURS AND DECIDED TO HEAD HOME.. SO WE SAY BYE ECT ECT.. WE GET ABOUT 9.5 MILES DOWN OUR 34 MILE RIDE HOME... AWW CRAP, THERE IS A TRACTOR ON THE ROAD, SO WE GO TO PASS HIM... OR SO WE THOUGHT... MAKE SURE COAST IS CLEAR, TURN ON BLINKER AND STEP ON THE GAS PETAL MORE FIRMLY.. OK IN THE OTHER LANE.. AND BAM!! CAR DIES IN MOTION AT 60 MPH!! MY HUSBAND JUST CASUALLY SAYS "HEY BABE, I THINK THE CAR JUST DIED" AND I LOOK LIKE "HAHA WHATEVER" AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.. SO WE PULL OVER AND TRY TO GET IT STARTED, HAD MY MIL COME JUMP US.. AN HOUR LATER AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE BEASTIE STARTED.. NO CLICKING, NO NOTHING.. SO UNFORTUNATELY BEASTIE HAD TO SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE NEXT DAY... THE NEXT DAY WE GOT HER TOWED TO MY MILS HOUSE... THAT WAS 3 DAYS AGO... AND BEASTIE STILL HASN'T STARTED UP FOR ME...

WHEN I FUEL MY CAR TO FULL I START TO DRIVE AND IT STALLS AND WILL NOT RESTART. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY GAS TANK WHICH IS COVERED UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY EXTENSION U.S. D-14-05. THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WHEN THEY REMOVE AND REPLACE THE TANK THAT THE EXHAUST FLEX PIPES COULD BREAK WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE PIPES AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS THEY ARE ATTACHED TO. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THIS WOULD BE $3,300 AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS COST. THIS WOULD MEAN THAT THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN IF THE WARRANTY WORK IS DONE AND THE DEALERSHIP BREAKS THE FLEX PIPES I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THOSE PIPES AND RELATED PARTS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, WHY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS, WHICH ARE FINE NOW, BUT COULD BE BROKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY DO THE WARRANTY WORK? IF YOU ARE GOING TO EXTEND A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART THEN WHY WOULD YOU NOT COVER THE WORK AND LABOR NECESSARY TO FIX THE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE PARTS BROKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN DOING THE WORK? THERE SHOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL COST COVERAGE FOR ALL WORK DONE THAT IS NECESSARY TO FIX THE PROBLEM NOT JUST THE PART AND WORK TO REPLACE IT AS LONG AS EVERYTHING GOES PERFECTLY. IF PARTS ARE BROKEN BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHEN DOING WARRANTY WORK THEN THOSE PARTS AND THE LABOR TO REPLACE THEM SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED. I AM ATTACHING THE INVOICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE PROBLEM IN THEIR WORDS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! WHY WOULD ANYONE HAVE WARRANTY WORK DONE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE WARRANTY WORK THAT ARE NOT COVERED. IT DOES NOT SAY THAT THESE PIPES ARE DEFECTIVE OR WORN IT JUST SAYS THAT THEY MIGHT BREAK WHEN DOING THE COVERED WARRANTY WORK. *TR

THE TEMPERATURE READING IS RUNNING TOWARD HIT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR FAN IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP THE RADIATOR COOLED OFF. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THIS IS HAPPENING IN MOST CARS THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. I HAVE TO STOP DRIVING THE CAR FOR A WHILE TO LET THE CAR COOL OFF. THIS IS HAPPENING IN MOTION ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAYS. *TR
