2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO INDICATION OR NO REASON...LOSE ALL STEERING AND BRAKES. ABLE TO WAIT A OF COUPLE MINUTES AND VEHICLE WILL START UP AGAIN BUT THEN WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. *JB

LOUD NOISE IN REAR OF CAR EVERYTIME I ACCELERATE BETWEEN 30 & 50 MPH. REPLACED REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS TO TRY AND FIX PROBLEM AND IT DID NOT WORK. PROBLEM WAS 1ST REPORTED IN APRIL 2005 AND DEALERSHIP IGNORED UNTIL OCTOBER 2005. *JB

AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS FAULTY WHICH MEANS IT COULD GO OFF AT ANYTIME FOR NO REASON OR IF IN AN ACCIDENT IT COULD NOT GO OFF AT ALL. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED HEARD CLANKING SOUND FROM THE REAR END. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT. AFTER THEY FIXED THE TRANSMISSION 2000 MILES LATER IT WENT OUT AGAIN. HE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE INITIAL TIME OF FIXING THE TRANSMISSION THEY DIDN'T CLEAN THE TRANSMISSION WITH A LINT FREE CLOTH SO IT CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO CLOG UP, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE SECOND TIME TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION THE PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER 2005. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. . A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED CONCERNING STEERING. THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT, AFTER BEING FIXED IT PULLED TO THE LEFT. T HE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON. THEY PUT IT ON A MACHINE. HE WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A SENSOR THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY HAD TO GET THE PARTS OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS VEHICLE.*AK

WHEN TO GET IN CAR AND SMELLED GAS, LOOKED DOWN AND GAS WAS RUNNING OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF CAR, FIRE AND POLICE DEPT. WERE CALLED, CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP RECEIVED CALLED ABOUT 4 HRS LATER FROM SERVICE DEPT. STATED THAT I HAD RAN OVER BUMP AND PUNCTURED GAS LINE, AND ITS GOING TO COST $1016.00 TO REPLACE I THEN INFORMED THEM THAT CAR HAD BEEN PARKED THEN HIS THEORY WAS MAYBE SOMEONE GOT UP UNDER MY CAR AND PUNCTURED GAS LINE I STATED KNOW ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT, THE PROBLEM HAS TO BE WITH THE GAS LINE MAYBE DEFECTIVE OR SOME OTHER PROBLEM. CALLED CHRYSLER SPOKE WITH REPRESENTATIVE (M31) AND SHE INFORMED ME THAT WHATEVER THE DEALER STATED IS WHAT HAD TO HAVE HAPPENED IM FILING THIS COMPLAINT, BECAUSE WHAT SERVICE DEPT. IS STATED THE PROBLEM TO MY CAR COULDN'T BE THE PROBLEM HAS TO BE WITH THE MANUFACTURE. CAR IS STILL AT DEALERSHIP PART IS BEING ORDERED, ASKED FOR LOANER ONE WAS NEVER PROVIDED. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM . WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE, AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT INTO THE LOWEST GEAR. THE SERVICE DEALER MADE FOUR ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THEY DID MENTION A SERVICE BULLETIN IN REGARD TO THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HIM TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO THAT THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IF HE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IT WOULD PUT HIM AT A SAFETY RISK.*AK

TIRES DEFECTIVE,I OWN A 300C CHRYSLER VEHICLE THAT HAVE CONTINENTAL TIRES ON IT SIZE 225/60HR/18 THAT AM BEING TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP [MEADOWLANDS OF CARMEL,NY) THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED,THESE TIRES SHOULD HAVE LASTED 60,000 MILES AND MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 21,000 MILES ON IT,AND CONTINENTAL WOULD ONLY GIVE ME 50 DOLLARS PER TIRE,WAS ALSO INFORMED BY SERVICE REP BILLY O'BRIEN THAT THEY HAD ANOTHER 300C THAT TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 12,000 MILES,AND THESE TIRES ARE AFTER MARKET AND THEY HAVE LESS TREAD ON THEM. IF ANYTHING BECOMES OF THIS LETTER I WOULD LIKE THE CONTINENTAL TIRES THAT ARE PUT ON CHRYSLER VEHICLES LOOKED INTO,THIS COULD BECOME A SAFETY PROBLEM, ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE TIRE SIZE I MENTION WAS NOT LISTED ON YOUR FORM SO I JUST CLICKED WHAT YOU HAD. *NM
