2006 CHRYSLER 300 AWD Complaints

MY CAR STALLED ON A STOP LIGHT TWICE LAST NOVEMBER 2014 AND JANUARY 25, 2015 AFTER I FILL UP MY CAR. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN TURNED ON THE CAR AGAIN AND IT DROVE. FOR NOW IT IS WORKING BUT I'M AFRAID IT WILL STALLED AGAIN WHILE ON THE ROAD. *TR

ENGINE DIED NO CHECK ENGINE NO WARNING. STARTED BACK UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. *TR

WHEN I COME TO A FULLL STOP , CAR WILL DIE. ALWAYS STARTS UP AGAIN THO. IT IS SCARY. HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. *TR

AFTER FUELING MY CAR, I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STALLING UNTIL I RUN SOME FUEL OUT OF MY CAR. NOW AFTER I STILL HAVE MORE THEN 3/4 TANK OF GAS, MY CAR WILL ACT FUEL STARVED GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY TO AN ALMOST STALL THEN COME BACK ON BY ITSELF. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND NEVER HEARD FROM THE DEALER OF A GAS TANK, CHARCOAL FILTER RECALL AND NOW IT IS CANCELED??? *JS

JUST PURCHASED USED CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AWD SEDAN WITH 56,414 MILES ON IT AND BY THE TIME I GOT IT HOME (AN HOUR DRIVE AWAY I NOTICED BINDING IN THE FRONT WHEELS WHEN I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WHEN I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY TO ENTER THE ROAD. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (REN KIRBY CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC) BUT THE DRIVE TRAIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY LIMITED 3 MONTH 3,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT THE PLANETARY GEARS IN TRANSFER CASE ARE BINDING IN FRONT WHEEL PORTION OF AWD DRIVE-TRAIN, IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT SERVICE THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND/OR FRONT AXLE SEPARATION RESULTING IN LOSS OF ONE OR BOTH FRONT WHEELS. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS IN EXCESS OF $1000.00 AND THAT IS ONLY IF IT IS JUST THE GEAR ISSUE! THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP AS I AM FINDING OUT ON SEVERAL VARIOUS AUTO BLOGS THAT THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT, BUT INFO FOR OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS WITH THE FUEL FILL/STALLING PROBLEM. WE JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER, TELLING US THEY HAVE ISSUED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAD OUR 2006 300 FIXED IN 2 DAYS! THE FUEL TANK AND INTERNAL VALVES WERE REPLACED AFTER REMOVING THE EXHAUST AND DRIVELINE. THE JOB TOOK 5-6 HOURS AND WE WERE NOT CHARGED A CENT! THE CAR IS AGAIN RUNNING VERY WELL WITHOUT STALLING. THANK YOU, CHRYSLER! *TR

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR STALLING OUT OR BOGGING DOWN SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING AND MANY TIMES HAPPENING WITHIN LESS THAN A MILE OF REFUELING. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEMS (AND AM NOW BEING STUCK PAYING A $95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE), AND CALLING CHRYSLER DIRECTLY WHO IS UNWILL TO TRY TO ASSIST. IF THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016), I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T BEING ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

VERY SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING MY CAR (PROBABLY DRIVEN LESS THAN 1000 FEET) THE CAR SHUTTERED AND STALLED. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY BUT THEN SHUT DOWN AGAIN WITHIN THE MILE. AGAIN, IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILLED THE TANK AND IT STALLED AGAIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY UPON EXITING THE GAS STATION. AGAIN, IT RESTARTED ON THE FIRST TRY AND I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP OR SINCE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT REFUELED SINCE; SO DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I DO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER AND IT IS DEEMED I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. GAS TANKS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT AND OUR CAR IS LOW MILEAGE AND IN MINT CONDITION. THIS SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY DESIGN PROBLEM. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND I SUSPECT WITH OTHERS WHO OWN THE SAME MODEL. (I DID NOT "TOP OFF" THE TANK ON EITHER OCCASION.) *TR

I ALREADY HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS MATTER. I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE FUEL TANKS AS A RECALL ON HIS VEHICLE ON FEB.10,2014 , PE13016. RECALL LETTERS TO BE SENT OUT STARTING JAN. 2014. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER. I CALLED CHRYSLER (1-800-247-9753) THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS RECALL. I QUESTIONED THIS AND THE OPERATOR (EMPLOYER #[XXX] HAD NO ANSWER. I HAVE A CASE # WITH THEM #[XXX]. AND ALTHOUGH THE NHTSA THINKS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM I BEG TO DIFFER. THIS CAR HAS STALLED AFTER REFUELING AT SPEEDS UP TO 55 MPH OR FASTER. THIS IS A $1500 OR MORE REPAIR I WAS TOLD & WOULD LIKE TO HAVE CHRYSLER TAKE CARE OF THIS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FOR SOME TIME NOW, THERE IS A LOUD METALLIC TAPPING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. SOUNDS AS IF IT MAY BE COMING FROM THE ENGINE'S HEAD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. *TR
