I FILL MY CAR UP AT GAS STATION AND WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL COMPLETELY CUT OFF OUT OF NOWHERE

2006 CHRYSLER 300C DIES SEVERAL TIMES AFTER REFUELING, WHICH OBVIOUSLY DISABLES THE POWER STEERING. THIS WILL HAPPEN UP TO 10 TIMES AND THEN THE CAR WILL RUN PROPERLY UNTIL THE NEXT REFUELING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 18 MONTHS.

2006 CHRYSTLER 300C 5.7L HEMI WILL RANDOMLY DIE WHEN SITTING IDLE, AND WHILE IN MID DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY AT 75MPH OR IN TOWN AT 30MPH OR AT A STOP LIGHT 0MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO EVERYONE IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE WILL STALL CAUSING IT EITHER A.)DIE OR B.) LUNGE FORWARD AND POSSIBLY HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

CAR WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING FOR NO REASON JUST LIKE THAT. VERY DANGER, WE CHANCE EVERY POSSIBLE THINK IN THIS CAR INCLUDED THE COMPUTER. I SPEND OVER $2700. AND STILL. THIS CAR IS DRIVE CRAZY .MOSTLY ON STOP SIGH , AND TURNING. RPM GO UP AND DOWN

AS I'M DRIVING MY CAR IT WILL SHUT OFF/ STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.DOES NOT MATTER IF I STOP AT A RED LIGHT/ STOP SIGN, DRIVING FAST/ SLOW, HIGHWAY/ STREET, TURNING A CORNER/ PARKING THE CAR WILL TURN OFF. AFTER TAKING IT TO 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND THE DEALER. NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. IT IS STILL UNKNOWN. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT BUT I HAVE TO WORK.

PROBLEM: MOMENTARY LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE AND ETC LIGHTS FLASH. SOMETIMES STALLS COMPLETELY (WHEN VERY SLOW OR STOPPED). IT HAS STOPPED ON ME A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE TURNING. TO STALL WHILE TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC IS UNSAFE. PARTS REPLACED SO FAR: GAS TANK (RECALL) GAS PUMP ACCELERATOR PEDAL DIAGNOSIS: APPARENT INTERMITTENT CONNECTION AT THE PCM. LAST REPAIR ATTEMPT(11/29/17) THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED THE CONNECTION BY ALIGNING THE PINS (APPARENTLY SOME HAD PUSHED THROUGH THE BOARD) & CLEANING THE CONNECTION. IT HAS WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS SINCE THEN, BUT IS FAILING AGAIN. THE TECHNICIAN NOW SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE), POSSIBLY DUE TO BROKEN SOLDER JOINTS ON THE BOARD THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO PCMS AVAILABLE FROM DEALERS AND THERE ARE 67 UNITS ON BACKORDER IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS . . . MANY WITH SIMILAR FAILURE MODES. FROM THE REPAIR SHOP: "DIAGNOSED AND TRACED MULTIPLE FAULTS TO COMMUNICATION LOSS AT POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. REMOVED UNIT FROM HOLDER AND WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING IF THE UNIT IT TAPPED OR SHAKEN THE ENGINE WILL STUMBLE OR STALL. - CONTACTED COMPUTER REPAIR SHOP AND THIS IS VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR SEVERAL CHRYSLER IN LAST MONTH OR SO . THE MAIN PROCESSOR GETS LOOSE ON CIRCUIT BOARD BUT THE CONTACTS ARE SO TINY REPAIR IS NOT POSSIBLE. NO LOCAL DEALERS HAVE UNIT AND THERE ARE 67 ON BACK ORDER IN LAST WEEKS."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUPLICATED.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT SHUTS OFF OR STALLS AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. IT HAS TRIED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, STALLED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ETC. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. WE TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND THE CAR DID NOT STALL WHILE IT WAS THERE SO THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. I HAVE A VIDEO THAT I CAN SHARE BUT I CANNOT UPLOAD IT.

2006 CHRYSLER 300C | ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING | POSSIBLY TIPM-RELATED I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C JUST SHORT OF 6 MONTHS AGO. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK, AS I WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THE IGNITION COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHILE THE POWER WAS STILL ACTIVE, I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL I TURNED OVER THE VEHICLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THINKING IT WAS POSSIBLY A FRINGE ISSUE I IGNORED TO ISSUE. FAST FORWARDING TO TODAY, MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED ROUGHLY 25-50 OCCURRENCES OF THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT ONLY SEEMS TO WORK WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT AND WHAT CONCERNS ME MOST IS THAT EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I AM ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MY WIFE AND FIVE CHILDREN.
