2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS A BEEPING SOUND WAS HEARD WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MAIN COMPUTER FRAME HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE DEALER PERFORMED A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE MOTOR COILS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR, I WAS ENTERING THE MAIN ROAD FROM A SIDE STREET, WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO BUCK AND BOUNCE. IT EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND WHILE PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE BUCKING AND BOUNCING STARTED AGAIN. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF MYSELF. I WAITED APPROX. 3-5 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THIS STALLING/BUCKING HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL SPORADICALLY AND RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALWAYS RESTART AND RESUME NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT FUEL WAS ENTERING THE SYSTEM PURGE LINE AND CAUSING THE FUEL VALVE TO FAIL. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,000. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WHEN WE BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLS. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY ASKED THE DEALERSHIPS IF THEY HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS AND THEY SAID "NO". FINALLY, ON 2/14/14 WE SAW ON THE NEWS THAT CHRYSLER IS EXTENDING THE FUEL WARRANTY TO LIFETIME DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE FUEL TANK CAUSING STALLING AFTER FILLING. WE AGAIN HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS AND CHRYSLER COMPLAINT CENTER AND THEY SAID BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A RECALL THEY CAN'T FIX IT. HOW CAN THIS BE IF THEY AGREED TO A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T HAVE A PART TO REPLACE UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. THE COMPLAINT CENTER SAID THEY CAN'T HELP US IF THERE ISN'T A RECALL. WE ALSO HAVE AN ARTICLE FROM THE DETROIT NEWS ON 2/18/14 THAT STATES THAT THE NTL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION ENDED ITS INVESTIGATION AFTER CHRYSLER AND A SUPPLIER DEVELOPED A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM EXTENDING LIFETIME WARRANTY COVERAGE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOUR DEPT. CAN DO TO HELP CONSUMER? WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO RAM US IN THE BACKEND ENTERING A FREEWAY BECAUSE OUR CAR STALLS? *TR
