2006 CHRYSLER 300 AWD Complaints

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK ( FULL) THE CAR STALLS FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF MILES. THEN STOP SHORTLY AFTER. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005-2006 MODELS WITH THE 5.7 AND 6.1 LITER ENGINES, BUT NOT FOR THE 3.5 LITER THAT I OWN EVEN THOUGH I HAVE FOUND THROUGH THE CHRYSLER FORUMS THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY OF THESE MODEL ( 2005-20006) CHRYSLER GAVE A LIFE TIME WARRANTY TO THE 5.7 AND 6.1 LITER MODELS , BUT NOT MINE. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS THOSE VEHICLES.

SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK UNLESS YOU PULL CONSOLE APART AND PHYSICALLY PUSH THE SPRING UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SHIFTER WITH SCREWDRIVER. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON IF NOT THIS PART A VERY SIMILAR PART BETWEEN THE YEARS 2005-2007 WHICH THIS CLEARLY FALLS INTO BUT IS VIN SPECIFIC AND THEY CLAIM DOESN'T PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE. FUNNY IT IS BYPASSED IDENTICALLY TO THE PEOPLE WHO THE RECALL DOES COVER. CLEARLY A KNOWN FLAW BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURS.

I CAN NO LONGER FILL MY GAS TANK TO THE "FULL" LEVEL , IF I DO, MY CAR RANDOMLY STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING OR MAKING ANY KIND OF TURN, WITH OUT ANY WARNING OR NOTIFICATION IN THE DASH BOARD . ALSO IF I TOP OFF MY GAS TANK THE INSIDE OF MY SMELLS STRONGLY OF FUEL , AS IT IS LEAKING INSIDE SOME HOW .

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF OARK. DEALER RECOGNIZED THE K39 PART WAS RECALLED AND IN MY VEHICLE BUT THERE'S NO RECALL FOR MY VIN.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND STALL. I ALWAYS USE 91-93 OCTANE FUEL FROM THE KROGER FUEL STATIONS, AND WHEN LEAVING THE LAST FEW TIMES I'VE HAD PROBLEMS GETTING UP TO SPEED WITHOUT THE CAR GETTING TO SPEED OR STALLING. IT WILL RESTART NORMALLY PRETTY EASILY OTHER THAN YESTERDAY WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT, IT KEPT STALLING COMING HOME, SHE PARKED IT, AND THE NEXT MORNING IT REFUSED TO START. IT TOOK A WHILE BUT AFTER STARTING AND RUNNING IT A BIT, IT'S RUNNING FINE. VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY IN FOR CHECKUP AT 78900 MILES (80K CHECKUP) AND HAS JUST OVER 80K ON IT NOW. I'M AN ADULT DISABLED DRIVER, IT GETS DRIVEN JUST NOT FAR AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

THE CAR IT SHUT OFF AFTER EVERY GAS FILLING IMMEDIATELY AFTER GETTING INTO TRAFFIC ITS VERY SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION

REF. NHTSA PE13016 "FAULTY FUEL TANKS" MAKE: CHRYSLER; MODEL: 300 LIMITED; COMPONENT: FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. EVERY TIME WE RE-FUEL THE CAR TO THE "FULL" LEVEL, THE CAR HESITATES AND STALLS. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THIS STALLING HAS RESULTED IN AN POTENTIAL COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BEING AVOIDED ONLY BY ASTUTE DRIVER INTERVENTION. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AND HAS CONSISTENTLY REPEATED DURING EVERY REFUELING SINCE. NO RESEARCH OR ATTEMPT TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL. CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS NO NOTIFICATION OF THIS PROBLEM BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROVIDED VIN NUMBER AND STATES THAT THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL SUCH A NOTICE IS RECEIVED. I AM REQUESTING YOUR INTERVENTION ON MY BEHALF BY NOTIFYING CHRYSLER CORPORATION OF THIS REPORTED AND KNOWN PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. ONCE DOCUMENTED, I CAN ARRANGE TO HAVE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS MADE BEFORE ANY OTHER EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ARE EXPERIENCED THEREBY PREVENTING INJURY TO MY WIFE AND/OR MYSELF OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN A PREVENTABLE ACCIDENT. THANK YOU FOR THE COURTESY OF YOUR TIME AND THE QUICK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT. *TR

I HAVE BEEN GETTING TAKATA INFLATOR RECALLS FOR A YEAR NOW, THE DEALER IN MY AREA - FUCCELLO'S DODGE, AMSTERDAM, NY, (518)843-4206, KEEPS TELLING ME THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AWD. WHILE AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE AND THUNDER BOLT INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, RESTARTED, AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

WHEN BY GAS LEVEL GETS TO 1/4 TANK OR BELOW AND I REFUEL, THE CAR STALLS FOR A WHILE AND SOMETIMES SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS ALSO HAPPENS ANYTIME I FILL UP.
