2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I REALIZE THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY IN PLACE TO FIX, BUT I AM BEING INFORMED BY MY DEALERSHIP AND BY MY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE REP REP THAT MY AIRBAG CAN NOT BE REPAIRED UNTIL DECEMBER 2016 THAT IS OVER A YEAR FROM NOW AND 19 MONTHS FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL OF MAY 29, 2015 AIRBAG RECALL NUMBER 15V-313 THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A BIG RECALL, BUT MY ISSUE IS THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE ONLY FIXING ONE CAR A WEEK PER (CHRYSLER) REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY PARTS ARE SENT TO DEALERS. IF THIS TRULY A "SAFETY RECALL" HOW IS THAT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN? I HAVE ALL DATES AND TIMES OF WHO I HAVE SPOKEN TO AT CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP.

TOOK VEHICLE TO BARBER SHOP ANTI SKID LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT A WET OR SLICK RD CONDITION..TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT .PULLED INTO GARAGE PARKING CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND SHUT OFF. WOULD NOT CRANK..THE MECHANIC OPENED THE VEHICLE UP TIMING CHAIN WAS INTACT ,FOUND THE CAMSHAFT BROKE.

MY CHRYSLER 300C HAS BEEN STALLING EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. IVE TAKEN IT TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS. ONE OF THEM CHARGED ME MORE THEN $300 FOR NOTHING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T EVEN FIND THE PROBLEM BUT ENDED UP CHARGING ME FOR THE TIME. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP CHANGED MY FUEL TANK THAT CHRYSLER GAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS STILL STALLING AT EVERY STOP I MAKE. I THINK THE PROBLEM ISN'T WITH THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE IT DID NOT FIX THE STALLING ISSUE. I THINK THAT ITS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WIRING OR COMPUTER. I ALSO THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAS TANK BUT ITS CLEARLY NOT. WHY SHOULD I BE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A FAULTY PROBLEM THAT ISNT MY FAULT. I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR AND ITS ONLY GOT 140,000KM ON IT. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A CHEAPER WAY TO HANDLE WITH THIS ISSUE OTHER THEN SPENDING HOURS TO FIND THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM NOT ME. THE CAR HAS DIED ON ME WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION. THAT IS NOT SAFE AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THEN 20 TIMES. I ALSO FEEL LIKE IM DAMAGING MY CAR EVERYTIME I HAVE TO TURN IT BACK ON. IT ALSO GUZZLES THE GAS MORE JUST BY TURNING IT BACK ON EVERYTIME. PLEASE GET CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IF THE CAR STILL HAS THE STALLING ISSUE AFTER GETTING THE GAS TANK CHANGED THEN ATLEAST GET CHRYSLER TO FIND THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO ME.

CALLED CHRYSLER (1-800-CHRYSLER) ABOUT VEHICLE STALLING AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK AFTER VEHICLE REPEATEDLY STALLED AFTER FILLING UP. I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C AWD W/ 5.7L HEMI V8. GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED NHTSA ACTION #PE13016 EXTENDING GAS TANK WARRANTY OF ALL 2006 HEMI-ENGINED 300'S. CHRYSLER REP ON THE PHONE TOLD ME NO SUCH WARRANTY EXISTED AFTER CHECKING WITH SUPERVISOR. HAD TO CALL LOCAL DEALERSHIP (GURNEE DODGE) WHO WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT YES SAID WARRANTY DOES EXIST AND THEY WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING THAT CHRYSLER LIED TO ME. CAR FIRST STALLED ON TRAIN TRACKS NEAR MY HOUSE, AND THE GATES ON THE CROSSING STARTED TO CLOSE JUST AS I GOT THE CAR TO CLEAR THE CROSSING! SCARED THE WITS OUT OF ME!

2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L HEMI: ENGLINE STALLS IF I FILL THE GAS TANK TO MAXIMUM AS I MAKE R OR L TURN LEAVING GAS STATION . CAR WILL RESTART AND STALL AGAIN AND AGAIN IF/WHEN I MAKE A TURN TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS LEVEL OF GASOLINE IN TANK FAILS BELOW THE FULL MARK. THIS IS A PROBLEM ON A LONG TRIP AS IT REQUIES NUMEROUS EXTRA STOPS FOR GAS AND STALLING AS I ENTER ROADWAY OR HIGHWAY IS DANGEROUS FOR ME AND SURROUNDING TRAFFIC/TRAVELERS.

MY CAR HAS BEEN DISPLAYING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR FOR ABOUT THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. THE MORE RECENT PROBLEM I'VE EXPERIENCED IS THAT MY CAR SHUTS OFF AT A COMPLETE STOP AND SOMETIMES AS I'M BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AS IT SHUTS OFF. I FEEL THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BEING I'VE DODGED A FEW ACCIDENTS ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WHAT IF I'M AT A LIGHT AND GETTING READY TO TURN OR MAKE A U TURN AND IT SHUTS OFF IN ON COMING TRAFFIC, OR IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HAVE TO SUDDENLY BRAKE AND IT SHUTS OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE BUT I HOPE I CAN GET HELP SOME WAY, SOME HOW. I FEEL MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

THE PASSENGER SEATBELT INDICATOR LIGHT FAILS TO EXTINGUISH IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED WITH THE BELT IS SECURELY CLICKED. IF I WIGGLE THE LATCH, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OUT, BUT I WONDER WHAT EFFECT THIS HAS ON THE PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM IF THE BELT IS INDICATED AS UNFASTENED. IT SEEMS THE SEATBELTS SHOULD BE WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING NECESSARY TO PROTECT PASSENGERS SHOULD HAVE NO TOLERANCE FOR ERRATIC OPERATION.

WHAT HAPPEN IS THAT I JUST GOT THE CAR USED, HAD IT 3 DAYS CUT THE CAR OFF WOULD NOT START BACK, I CALLED THE PEOPLE WHO I GOT THE CAR FROM, THEY CAME AND GOT IT, HAD IT FOR THREE WEEKS, COULD NOT FIX IT SO THEY SEND IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY HAD IT A MONTH AND A HALF STILL DIDN'T FIX IT RIGHT, THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT WAS NOT, I PICKED THE CAR UP DROVE IT HOME 30 MINUTES, GOT HOME FORGOT SOMETHING AT THE STORE GOT IN CAR WOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING, LIGHTS AND RADIO AND STILL CAME ON BUT CAR WOULD NOT START, I COULD SMELL GAS AND THEY CAME AND GOT THE CAR AGAIN NEVER MINE THAT I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR 3 DAYS, OK THEY PUT NEW CADILLAC CONVERTERS ON ITI PICKED THE CAR UP,ON MY WAY HOME DRIVING 20, CAR JUST CUT OFF I THANK GOD THAT NO ONE HIT ME AND IT WAS 3 CARS BEHIND ME I SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE AND IT STARTED BACK BUT CUT RIGHT OFF AGAIN, SO I WAITED FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES, TRIED AGAIN, CAR STARTED UP AND I WENT HOME CUT CAR OFF, AFTER 3 HOURS CAR WAS JUST DEAD WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. AGAIN CALL THE SHOP, THEY CAME IN PICKED THE CAR UP AND THAT AUG, RIGHT NOW THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP, THEY CANT SEEM TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT, THEY PUT A LOT OF NEW PARTS ON THE CAR THEY SAID WHEN THEY THANK IT IS FIXED THEY LET THE CAR RUN ABOUT A HOUR, BUT YET AGAIN IT CUTS OFF, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE CARS CUTTING OFF WHILE THEY ARE BEING DROVE, THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THESE CARS FOR THAT, THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING , WHAT IS GOING ON WITH CHRYSLER DON'T THEY KNOW THAT A PERSON CAN GET KILL DRIVING AND THE CAR CUTS OFF AT ANY SPEED, I HAVE MY GRAND BABY'S EVERYDAY, I WILL NEVER WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO THEM OR ME, ALL I CAN SAY IS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
