2005 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

LATE 2004 WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT CAR NEW WENT TO PICK UP CAR HORN DID NOT WORK ,REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY ALWAYS HARD TO PUSH ON STEERING WHEEL NEVER WAS RIGHT, TO DATE HORN DOES NOT WORK 6/16/2014. *TR

GEAR SHIFTER LOCKED IN PARK. HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER. *TR

DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A RURAL DIVIDED HIGHWAY AT APPROX 65MPH ALL EXTERNAL LIGHTS GO OUT. ALL DASH, NAVIGATION, AND WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON FULL BRIGHTNESS. COULD NOT SEE OUTSIDE. HAD TO COME TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND LIGHTS OPERATED NORMALLY. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. SEEMS TO HAPPEN OFTEN MORE WHEN COLD OUTSIDE. *TR

IN REFERENCE TO PE13016, THE ACTION REFERS TO CARS FROM MODEL YEARS 2005 AND 2006. YET, THE FINAL INVESTIGATION RESULTS ONLY INCLUDE THE 2006 MODEL YEAR? IF 2005 CARS ARE AFFECTED (AS MINE HAS BEEN SINCE 2011 AND IS DOCUMENTED IN 300C USER FORUMS ON THE INTERNET BY ME AT THE TIME), THEN WHY IS MY CAR NOT INCLUDED? I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW, SOME OWNERS ARE RECEIVING "LIFETIME WARRANTY" LETTERS FOR THE 19-GAL GAS TANK THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE SUDDEN STALLS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER, YET MY CAR DOES HAVE (AND WAS FOUND BY THE NHTSA THAT 2005 MODEL YEAR WAS AFFECT) THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO NOT FILL UP THE GAS TANK EVERYTIME. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED, YET I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. PLEASE ADVISE ME (IN WRITING OR BY PHONE) AS TO WHY YOU FOUND 2005 CARS PROBLEMATIC, YET ONLY INCLUDED 2006 CARS IN YOUR FINAL INVESTIGATION SUMMARY TO BE AFFECTED. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY CAR WITH GAS THE CAR STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. CAR RESTARTS BUT IF ON HIGHWAY ALL POWER IS LOST - SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

WHILE DROPPING MY GRANDCHILDREN OFF HOME. MY CHRYSLER 300C HEMI ENGINE AFTER SHUT OFF DID NOT RESTART. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, IT WAS STATED THAT THE VALVE SEAT DROP, CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PISTON. A REVIEW OF INFORMATION ONLINE REVIEWED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER GAS TANK IS FILLED UP. CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND AT INTERSECTIONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. REVIEW ON INTERNET SHOWS THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. CURRENT SOLUTION IS TO AVOID FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. *JS

EVERY TIME AFTER GAS FILL UP FROM THE FIRST TIME IN DEC 2012 TO NOW, THIS CAR STALLS AFTER FILL UP. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN MAY 2004 FROM CHRYSLER DEALER AND ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN WITH BOSAK CHRYSLER. I WAS THINKING GAS FILTERS, BUT UNTIL I CHECKED HERE TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL, FOUND THAT TOO MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T SEE ANY NOTIFICATIONS FILED BY CHRYSLER, ARE WE ALL TO ASSUME THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE LIGHTS TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON. THIS HAS OCCUR ON MANY TIMES. I RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SUPPOSE TO HAD THE ECU. THAT WORK FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I RETURN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAS CONTINUES TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND NO PROBLEM. NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY NAV SYSTEM AND THE RADIO LIGHTNING. *TR

AFTER FILLING TANK WITH FUEL, CAR STALLED AT NEXT FEW INTERSECTIONS. HAD TO TURN OFF COMPLETELY FOR TRANSMISSION TO RESET AND ENGAGE SEVERAL TIMES. HAS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY BUT NOT SURE OF DATE, APPROXIMATELY IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING AND SITTING STILL IN MOVING TRAFFIC, THIS CREATES A TRUE HAZARD. HAVE OWNED VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. *TR
