2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V352000 (Air Bags); however, after retrieving the vehicle the following day, the vehicle experienced several failures while driving. The A/C was inoperable, the vehicle was running rough, the check engine warning light was flashing, and the vehicle almost stalled while coming to a stop. Additionally, the contact became aware that there was a hole in the fuel tank. The dealer was notified of the failures, but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed. The manufacturer followed up with the dealer, and the contact was later informed that no assistance would be provided because the failures were unrelated to the recall, as per the dealer’s assessment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 106,272.

Hello, I am worried about the problem that persists for more than 5 years that the car is in my possession, my 2005 Chrysler 300c, it is always the same problem when I fill the fuel tank, the car does not want to start, I have to wait at least 10 minutes at the pump trying several times to start it again, this occurs at an intersection, at a traffic light, and even while in traffic, endangering my life and the lives of other drivers, please I need help!!!!

This is a serious safety concern regarding the shift interlock system on my 2005 Chrysler 300. When the vehicle is in Park, particularly in traffic, and the light turns green, I am forced to lift the coin attachment and manually press the pink interlock just to change gears or accelerate. This creates a dangerous situation where I am unable to move the vehicle promptly, potentially leaving me vulnerable to a rear-end collision. The issue stems from Recall 05V462000, which specifically addresses a shift interlock defect that Chrysler has failed to address despite my repeated attempts to have it repaired. Chrysler has not taken any action to resolve the recall issue, leaving me in a potentially life-threatening situation every time I drive. It is unacceptable that this recall has not been acted upon, and this critical safety defect must be corrected immediately.

The vehicle began to shutter in reverse. This went on for about a week. Transmission fluid level was checked and it was in the normal range. My husband and I were driving it and made a sharp turn to find us in a spot to continue forward and go off a cliff or back up and get out of traffics way. He backed up and we heard a clunk. The car continues to drive forward with no issues but it acts as of it’s in neutral when you put it in reverse. No codes are showing either.

The fuel sending unit is poorly manufactured and cracks and leaks raw fuel directly under the back seat.

my engine blew, transmission is slipping. I’m having electrical and air bag problems.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the front passenger’s side air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated there was no recall for the failure. The failure mileage was 19,641.

Strong fuel smell in cabin and outside of car when gas tank is full. Discovered gas in the cabin sitting on top of the fuel tank under the passenger-rear seat. Multiple posts in online forums confirm this is a known issue. Vehicle owner ordered a new o-ring to attempt repair. Area around fuel pump under driver's-rear seat was not affected. No warning lights, notices or performance issues. Only indication is strong gas fumes in car after filling up the gas tank (auto shutoff at pump, not topped off) which persists for several days. Problem seems minimized if gas tank is shorted 2-3 gallons from max capacity on fillup (about 14 gallons when car is close to empty per the gas gauge in dashboard.) Car was not inspected by dealer, insurance agent, police, independent service center, or anyone else other than owner.
