2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FUELING FOR APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES AND SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT IS NEVER KNOWN WHEN OR WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL LEAVE YOU DISABLED. MY CAR HAS STALLED MANY, MANY TIMES, ON THE ROAD, AT INTERSECTIONS, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, AT STOP LIGHTS, ON RAILROAD TRACKS, ON FREEWAY ON RAMPS AND OFF RAMPS, PARKING LOTS, AND ANYWHERE ELSE IT SO CHOOSES. I TALKED TO MECHANICS AND I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FLAT TOP FUEL TANK DESIGN, REQUIRING THE FUEL TANK TO BE REPLACED, BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER 300C OWNERS. PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

DURING A ROUTINE TIRE ROTATION I WAS ADVISED THAT THE SEAL BETWEEN THE TIRE AND WHEEL WAS FAILING ON ALL 4 WHEELS AS A RESULT OF CORROSION OCCURRING ON THE MAG TYPE WHEEL. THE FAILURE WAS TEMPORARILY REPAIRED BY SANDING THE WHEEL AND RESEALING. COMMENT WAS MADE THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED. IT IS LIKELY THIS WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR AS DUE TO BRINE SOLUTION AND ROAD SALT USED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. THE PERSON DOING THE ROTATION STATED THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS TYPE OF WHEEL. *TR

I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CHRYSLER 300 UP UNTIL THIS MORNING AS I STARTED MY CAR FOR WORK. MY CAR WAS STUCK IN "PARK". AS I RESEARCHED THIS DEFICIENCY ONLINE IT I NOTICED THAT IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING OCCURRENCE WITH CHRYSLERS OF ALL TYPE. I CALLED MANY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED ON A NORMAL BASIS. MY COMPLAINT IS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS DEFICIENCY AND THIS IS COSTING CONSUMER TOO MUCH MONEY THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND ON THIS. I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED REGULARLY SO THIS SHOULD HAVE NOT HAPPENED. *TR

MY CARS ENGINE STARTED CLACKING AND SMOKING FOR SEVERAL DAYS - THEN THE ENGINE STARTED SHAKING AND WOULD DIE DOWN AND ALMOST STOP WHEN DRIVING. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE AUTO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR MY WARRANTY BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE AND I HAD NOT CHANGED THE OIL ON A REGULAR BASIS. MY HUSBAND KEPT UP TO DATE ON ALL CHANGES OF OIL. IT IS A 2.7 ENGINE MADE BY CHRYSLER MANUFACTURE WITH 78,844 MILES AND THE WARRANTY IS UP TO 80K MILES. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE AG'S OFFICE IN BOSTON, MA WHERE I LIVE AND CALLED CHRYSLER TO TELL THEM THAT I KNOW ABOUT THE 2.7ENGINE SLUDGE PROBLEM. THE AG IS INVESTIGATING IT WHILE MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER WAITING FOR ME TO GO AND GET IT BACK. I ALSO HAVE SUSPENSION PROBLEMS; HORN DOES NOT WORK, AIR BAG CONTROL SENSOR PROBLEMS, STRUTS REPLACED, AND MANY, MANY, MORE ALONG THE YEARS. THE ENGINE IS A 2.7 ENGINE. I WANT MY WARRANTY HONORED AS I CANNOT ASSIST MY DISABLED DAUGHTER UNLESS I WORK AND HAVE TRANSPORTATION FOR BOTH HER AND MYSELF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO - I AM CURRENTLY SENDING AS MUCH INFORMATION ON COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE TO THE ATTY GEN OFFICE AS THEY REQUESTED. CAN YOU HELP ME? *TR
