2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

AFTER FUELING VEHICLE, VEHICLE STALLS AND TAKES A MINUTE TO RESTART. THIS COMPLAINT IS ENTERED MULTIPLE TIMES UNDER PE13-016 AND CHRYSLER ISN'T MEETING ITS OBLIGATIONS. *TR

WHEN I STARTED PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO SHUTTER BADLY AND STALLED OUT. IT STARTED BACK UP BUT IT IMMEDIATELY WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AS IF IT WASN'T RUNNING ON ALL CYLINDERS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE PUT IT ON THE SCANNER AND A CODE CAME UP STATING THAT THE #6 CYLINDER WAS FAULTY. WHEN RUNNING THE CAR HAS NO POWER AND YOU CAN HEAR A DISTINCT CLICKING OF THE MDS SOLENOID. AS IT CLICK ON AND OFF THE CARS IDLE WAS NORMAL THEN VERY ROUGH. SERVICE RECORDS ARE IMMACULATE, OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES WITH MOBIL 5-20 FULL SYNTHETIC. SERVICE SUGGESTIONS HAVE BEEN STRICTLY FOLLOWED. THE SOLENOID WAS CHANGED OUT AND IT RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 500 MILES AND THEN IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN, VERY RANDOM AND MOSTLY WHEN YOU GO INTO PASSING GEAR ON THE FREEWAY THAT'S WHEN YOU TOTALLY LOSE POWER AND IT SHUTTERS VIOLENTLY. WE CANT FIND ANYTHING FOR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX IT EXCEPT THAT IT MAY BE A BAD COMPUTER OR A CLOGGED OIL PORT IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. BOTH POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ARE VERY COSTLY AND I WOULD HATE TO SPEND ALL THAT MONEY AND IT NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM COULD VERY WELL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

AFTER FILLING CAR WITH FUEL AND DRIVE A FEW HUNDRED FEET CAR STARTS BUCKING AND STALLS. RESTARTS AND BUCKS AND STALLS A FEW MORE TIMES THEN RUNS FINE UNTIL NEXT TIME WE FILL UP. WE HAVE STOPPED FILLING CAR UP BUT JUST PUTTING 10 TO 12 GALLONS WHEN WE GET GAS. WE CANNOT FILL THE FUEL TANK UP OR TAKE A SERIOUS CHANCE OF HAVING CAR STALL IN TRAFFIC AS WE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS. I HAVE ASKED BECK CHRYSLER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR FIX FOR THIS AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANGER NEVER HEARD OF PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS AND ONLY FIX IS TO PAY OVER A $1000.00 FOR A NEW GAS TANK AS THIS IS ONLY FIX. I HAVE REPLACED VAPOR CANISTER AND VAPOR CONTROL VALVE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS FOR NO CHARGE AS IT IS PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM AND ALSO WORRY MY WIFE AND I WILL BE HURT OR KILLED BY THIS FLAW IN THE FUEL TANK. I HOPE WE CAN GET SOME HELP TO GET THIS REPAIRED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLES SPUTTERS, STALLS AND DIES AFTER FILING FUEL TANK. CHRYSLER ENTERED INTO AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM TO RESOLVE YOUR INQUIRY PE13-016. CHRYSLER AGREED AS A RESULT OF THAT INQUIRY TO EXTEND A LIFETIME FUEL -TANK WARRANTY ON THE 153,817 EFFECTED CARS. CHRYSLER WILL NOT HONOR THAT WARRANTY AGREEMENT ON MY VEHICLE.. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ENCOURAGE CHRYSLER TO HONOR THE WARRANTY AND REPLACE MY FUEL TANK AND FAULTY FLOAT VALVE PER THE AGREEMENT THEY ENTERED WITH YOU? PREVIOUSLY I WAS REFERRED TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION WHO INDICATES THIS IS NOT A ISSUE THEY CAN PROVIDE ME ASSISTANCE. WHO ENFORCES THE AGREEMENTS NHTSA HAS MADE WITH CHRYSLER? MY VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FAULTY FLOAT VALVE AND NO ONE IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WANTS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP TO HELP. *TR

DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN TWICE. FIRST, IT BROKE ON THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR. THE, TODAY, 05/06/14, IT BROKE ON THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR. THERE IS A SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT HAS APPEAR TO CRACK AND BREAK CAUSING THE DOOR HANDLE TO SEPARATE FROM THE DOOR. ONLINE FORUMS REPORT MANY USERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. DODGE HAS A DOOR HANDLE RECALL. CHRYSLER AND DODGE ARE THE SAME FAMILY. THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL ON THE DOOR HANDLE. *TR

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT STARTED OCCURRING 12000 MILES AGO. TODAY WAS THE LAST STRAW. AFTER FILLING MY TANK OVER THIS PAST YEAR, I'VE LEARNED THAT I CAN ONLY FILL MY TANK TO 3/4 FULL TO AVOID THE STALLING AND SPUTTERING. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO HAVE MY IGNITION TURNED ON SO THAT I CAN WATCH WHEN THE FUEL GETS TO 3/4. THIS ALONE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD SPARK. TODAY I FILLED IT TO 3/4 FOREVER IT SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP JUST BEFORE IT GOT TO 3/4... WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE FULL INDICATOR WAS FULL. I KNEW THIS MEANT I WOULD HAVE A SCARY RIDE HOME. IT STALLED LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND TWO MORE TIMES WHILE WAITING AT THE FIRST LIGHT. I MADE IT ABOUT A MILE AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND IT CUT OUT AT ABOUT 35. I WAS MAKING THE TURN WITH NO POWER AND ALMOST HIT A POLE. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ONLY SELECTED VIN NUMBERS WERE SELECTED AGAINST PE13-016. LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND I DID NOT SEE ANY OWNERS WHO'S VINS WERE COVERED. WHERE IS A COPY OF THIS LIST AND HOW MANY VINS WERE ON THIS LIST? CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE A STAND AND OWN UP TO RECALLING ALL VINS FOR THIS MODEL MAKE AND YEAR. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A SELECTED RECALL. I AM DOCUMENTING THIS SAFETY CONCERN EVERYWHERE I CAN AS I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND HOPE SOMEONE TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY AND QUIT BLAMING THE OWNERS OF OVERFILLING THE TANKS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CONCERN AND IT ISN'T WITH OTHER MODELS AN MAKE. OWN UP CHRSYLER! *TR

CAR STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, STALLS WHEN I COME TO A STOP. SOMETIMES STARTS AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN CAR STALLS ON HIGHWAY, HAZARDOUS AVOIDING ACCIDENTS. CAR IS ALWAYS MAINTAINED AS MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS. *TR

THE CAR WILL STALL EVERY TIME AFTER I FILL UP THE GAS. YESTERDAY I WENT TO FILL UP THE TANK ( NOT ALL THE WAY FULL ), AFTER I DROVE ABOUT 1 BLOCK, THE CAR STALLED. I HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT 10 MILES BACK HOME AND THE CAR STALLED 8 TIMES ALREADY. IT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL DIE ON ME WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD AND CARS ARE BEHIND ME AND JUST VERY AFRAID OF SOMEONE IS GOING TO STRUCK ME FROM BEHIND WHEN MY CAR DIE ON ME SUDDENLY. *JS
