2005 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE FROM PARK. THE DEALER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 82,000.

CHYRSLER 300C 2005 MODEL, THEN CAR WAS IN PARK AND WOULD NOT COME OUT OF GEAR. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME AND SHOWED US HOW TO MANUALLY GET THE CAR OUT OF GEAR WITH THE GEAR BOX OFF, WHICH IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THE CAR IXS NOW EXPOSED TO POTENTIAL THIEVES AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL LOCK IF NOT SERVICED. *TR

I I HAVE TWO CHRYSLERS AND BOTH OF THEM HAD THE SHIFTERS FREEZE ON THEM THEY RECALLED THE COVERTABLE BUT NOT THE 300C MY FRIEND CALLED ME YESTERDAY HE HAS THE MAGNUM AND HIS SHIFTER FROZE FROM WHAT I IS THAT ALMOST ALL THE SHIFTERS ARE FREEZING AND CHRYSLER IS NOT RECALLING THEN BUT CHARGING THE CUSTORMERS TO REPLACE THEM BESIDES THE TOWING FEE BECAUSE YOU CANT MOVE THE CARS ONCE THE SHIFTER FREEZES. *TT

AFTER REFUELING NORMALLY, VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING FOR APPROXIMATELY THE NEXT 10-20 MILES DRIVEN. CHRYSLER INTERNET FORUM MEMBERS CITE A BAD VALVE IN THE FUEL EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND THE CORRECTIVE MEASURE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK FOR A COST OF $700. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING, IT CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

CHRYSLER 300C 2005 WILL COMPLETELY DIE UPON FILLING TANK WITH FUEL. WILL RESTART AND DIE 1 OR 2 MORE TIMES THEN RUN FINE. MY CONCERN IS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. SOLUTION CHANGE GAS TANK WHICH CHRYLSER REFUSES TO DO WITHOUT CUSTOMER PAYING FOR IT. I FEEL A RECALL IS NEEDED BEFORE SOMEONE IT INJURED OR POSSIBLY KILLED. FILED A COMPLAINT, HAVE A CASE NUMBER NOTHING RESOLVED. I FEEL A SOLUTION IS NECESSARY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FROM TIME OF PURCHASE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE ENGINE RPMS BEGAN TO INCREASE RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY DETECTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DEEP STICK WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND MELTED ONTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V460000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 47,000.

WE PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C NEW IN MARCH OF 2005, SINCE THAT TIME WE NOTICED THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT, AND OVER SAY SEVERAL MONTHS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, I REPLACED TO DRIVER SIDE OUTER TIE ROD END AROUND AUGUST OF 2007, THEN EARLY 2009 THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, IT'S APRIL 2011 AND I'M ABOUT TO REPLACE THE TIE ROD END FOR A SECOND TIME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. *TR

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELD, IT STALLS. ALSO, IT HESTITATES WHILE DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT ALSO WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. IT TOOK NUMEROUS SHIFTS FROM PARK TO DRIVE TO GET IT TO ENGAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHENEVER HE REFUELED. THE FAILURE OCCURED CONSISTENTLY OVER A ONE YEAR PERIOD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ADDED SMALL AMOUNTS OF FUEL IN INCREMENTS WHICH SEEMED TO PREVENT THE FAILURE FROM RECURRING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE BUT, THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HIM TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 56,000. UPDATED 04/12/11*LJ UPDATED 04/13/11

WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLS AFTER 1-2 MINUTES. RESTART AND STALLS AGAIN. GOES ON FOR FIRST 10 MILES AFTER REFILL. THIS HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL UP. ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IS TO FILL TANK AT 80% OR LESS. CHECKED THE INTERNET (CHRYSLER 300C STALLING) AND I FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAD TO SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR
