2005 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, MY CHRYSLER 300C WOULD OCCASIONALLY STALL. MOSTLY IT WOULD BE AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR WOULD STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I JUST RECENTLY REALIZED, IT WOULD OCCUR WHEN I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS SHOCKING THAT AN ISSUE LIKE THIS COULD GO THIS LONG WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS, DUE TO THIS ISSUE... I COULD SEE THIS ISSUE BECOMING MORE OF AN NOTICEABLE PROBLEM, DUE TO THE LOWER GAS PRICES. I USUALLY PUT IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY WHEN I FILL UP. NOT UNTIL MORE RECENTLY, WITH THE LOWER GAS PRICES, THAT AMOUNT FILLS MY TANK. THAT IS WHY IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO REALIZE THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK. *TR

AFTER FILLING CAR WITH GAS IT DIES JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 WEEKS AGO AND IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ALL AFTER GETTING GAS, LOOKED AND NO RECALLS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. *JS

OTHER VEHICLE CROSSED OVER YELLOW LINE AND HIT OUR CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE ON DRIVERS SIDE ALL THE WAY TO BACK AND KNOCKED OFF THE BACK DRIVERS WHEEL AND SENT US SPINNING AROUND INTO AND WRAPPED AROUND TELEPHONE POLE. MY LEGS WERE PINNED UNDER DASH AND COULDN'T MOVE, PASSENGER DOOR HAD BEEN BADLY DAMAGED AND PUSHED IN ABOUT ONE FOOT. HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE CAR TO GET ME OUT, TAKEN TO ER. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WHICH I FIND QUITE ODD. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE AND WHO TO CONTACT TO FIND OUT WHY AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. WE DO HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES TO BACK UP OUR CLAIM. *TR

THIS IS MESSAGE IS TO HELP YOU OUT. MY 2005 300 STALLED WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AS WELL, AND FINALLY IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE GAS TANK FROM FRONT TO BACK NEEDED TO GET REPLACED. DONT LET THE DEALER TELL YOU OTHERWISE. MY CAR WAS FIXED AND HAS BEEN FINE EVER SINCE. EVERYTHING THAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT IT STALLING AFTER PUMPING GAS TO THE MAX AND THE WHEEL LOCKING W/O NOTICE HAS TO DO WITH THE GAS PUMP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

IT BEGAN WHEN I STARTED PUMPING GAS AFTER IT REACH LIKE 10 GALLONS OF FUEL THE CLICKER WILL STOP AS IF IT WAS FULL TANK ALREADY BUT STILL NEEDED A LONG WAY TO FILL UP SO I AUTOMATICALLY BEGAN TO PUMP GAS AND IT KEPT CLICKING AND CLICKING IT DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP PUMPING SO I STOP AS I BEGAN DRIVING THE CAR BEGAN TO PULLED IT SELF HARD LIKE IF IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS CHECK ENGINE AND THE ESP BAS LIGHT WHEN ON STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS GOT ME WORRIED WHEN ON IT KEPT DOING IT SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE EGR VALVE ,THERMOSTAT AND SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPAIR I ASKED IF THEIR WAS A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE RECEIVED A LATER STATING THAT SOMETHING THAT'S HAS TO DO WITH THE GAS TANK,HE LOOKED IT UP AND HE SAID NO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME STUCK IN PARK. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AFTER FILLING MY FUEL TANK THE CAR WOULD STALL AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 5 - 30 MPH CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. UPON SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL IT WOULD START BUT WOULD STALL 2 OR 3 MORE TIMES. I WAS NOT SURE OF THE CAUSE UNTIL JUNE OF THIS YEAR WHEN I GOT A NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART. THIS WAS 7/16/2014. TO DATE THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART AND I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT PRODUCING THEM. THE CAR IN THIS STATE IS NOT SAFE. I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WERE GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THERE MUST BE SOME RECOURSE TO FORCE A MANUFACTURER TO HONOR A RECALL. *TR

THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOOSE MY POWER STEERING AND HAVE TO TRY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF IT WILL THEN RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS FROM10-70. THE SECOND ISSUE IS SOMETIMES THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD ON ITS OWN OR ACCELERATES MUCH MORE THAN WHAT I AM PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THESE CARS AND WE ALL SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT WHEN WE TAKE IT TO MECHANICS SINCE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT THEY CAN'T TELL US WHAT'S WRONG. I HAVE HAD SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS WITH THESE ISSUES AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS. I AM SURE THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THESE SAME ISSUES BUT IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN TRACED BACK TO THE CAR, IT WAS PROBABLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. *TR

I REAR ENDED A CAR.THE HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED AND NOW MY HEAD LIGHTS BLINK WHILE I AM DRIVING AT NIGHT. PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE OR THE MECHANIC WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.MY 2005 CHRYSLER300 C ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING.MY LOCAL DEALER DELRAY MOTORS. WHERE DO I TURN? OR CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX IT .MY WINDOWS WONT GO DOWN MY AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF.PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.I ALSO EMAILED THE NATIONAL HWY SAFETY COMPANY, BUT STILL NO RESPONSE. *TR
