2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

TAMARA RECALL ENGINE HAS STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT AND SOME WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE POWER STEERING STOPS AND BECOME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND I GET AFRAID UNTIL I CAN FIGHT IT AND STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIR YET.

ENGINE FAILURE. NO WARNING LIGHTS. ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING ON LESS THE 8 CYLINDERS. I PULLED INTO THE FIRST GAS STATION TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECK ALL FLUID LEVELS (ALL FINE). STARTED THE MOTOR, WOULD NOT IDLE AND DIED. TURNED THE KEY AGAIN AND HEARD THE MOTOR COMPLETELY CLUNK AROUND OUT OF SYNC. THAT WAS THE END OF MY 2006 300C

MECHANIC SAID THE EXHAUST VALVE DROPPED IN THE CYLINDER AND CAUSED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, NEEDS THE COMPLETE NEW ENGINE. I HAVE REPLACED THE OIL VIGOROUSLY EVERY 4500 MILE WITH SYNTHETIC OIL. THE CAR HAS 189000 MILES ON IT AND THERE ARE TONS OF REPORTS THAT SHOW THIS IS VERY COMMON AFTER 100K MILES.

CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING FREQUENTLY DESPITE PLENTY OF FLUID IN RADIATOR SYSTEM. CAR OVERHEATED WHILE IDLING AND ENGINE JUST STOPPED WORKING.

STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS LAST YEAR. CAR WOULD CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, CUT OFF WHILE IN A TURN AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, DEALER STATED IT WAS PCM. HAD THE CONTROL MODULE FIXED ($1000 REPAIR) AND NOW RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WANTS TO CUT OFF AT ALL SPEEDS. TODAY, MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE GAS STATION AND IT CUT OFF ON HIM AND THEN WOULDN'T START BACK UP. IT STARTED UP A FEW MIN AFTER SITTING BUT TRAFFIC WAS TOO BUSY SO WE WERE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. IT IS STILL PARKED AT THE GAS STATION AND WE ARE HOPING WELL BE ABLE TO GET IT HOME BEFORE HAVING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS 1 1/2 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE WE ASSUMED IT WAS MISFIRING (WHEN IT WAS WANTING TO CUT OFF). WE'VE CHANGED THE CAMSHAFT (PRIOR TO HAVING THE PCM REPLACED) AND EGR VALVE AS WELL. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT HAVE STILL ATTEMPTED TO GET CODES READ... NO CODES. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD A HAND IN MAKING..... HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE YOU REALIZE THAT THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE... BUT I GUESS YOU'D RATHER A LAWSUIT ON YOUR HANDS FOR A DEATH RATHER THEN FIXING ALL THESE CARS THE RIGHT WAY. #UNSATISFIEDBUYER TOOK A SHOT AT THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR AND AM SADLY DISAPPOINTED 2006 300C 5.7L HEMI. WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR IF YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT.

I SEE DOUBLE IN MY DRIVER SIDE MIRROR (AUTO DIM). I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES OR HOW OLD THE CAR IS AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRYSLER FREE OF CHARGE.
