2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

MAKING A U-TURN AND MY CAR CUTS OFF, I HIT THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY BUT STILL HIT THE CURB WITH MY WHEELS AND PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER. PLEASE RECALL THIS GAS TANK ISSUE. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE!! THEY CUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES, UNPREDICTABLE. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FILL-UP. WILL STALL EVEN WITHOUT TOPPING OFF TANK. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WILL STALL MULTIPLE TIMES AND BUCK WHILE DRIVING FOR A TIME. CAN NOT FILL UP TANK. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED AT MAJOR INTERSECTION SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING AND WOULD NOT RESTART AND STAY RUNNING. HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF INTERSECTION AND OFF ROADWAY BY POLICE. NO CODES APPEARED. NUMEROUS RESTARTS AND STALLS BEFORE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC WHO COMPUTER SCANNED FOR DIAGNOSIS. NO CODES. PROBLEM HAS NOW RECURRED 2 MORE TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER LAST 2 FILL UPS. MOST RECENT WAS REENTERING RTE 23S NEAR WAYNE NJ AFTER FILLING UP. CAR STALLED AND CREATED A SERIOUS HAZARD FOR ME AND PASSENGERS TRYING TO AVOID REAR END COLLISION WHILE PULLING TO SHOULDER WITH NO POWER. VERY BUSY ROAD WITH 50-60 MPH TRAFFIC. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND STAY RUNNING - REQUIRING 5-7 RESTART/STALLS BEFORE IT WAS DRIVABLE. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AGAIN. NO CODES ON SCANNER. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

CAR STALLED AFTER FUEL FILL UP WENT 100 FEET STALLED ENTERING THE ROADWAY (ROUTE 17S). VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS AT RANDOM. TODAY I WAS DRIVING 30-40 MPH AND MY ENGINE STALLS AND TURNS OFF. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION OFF A FREEWAY RAMP. WHERE IS THE RECALLING ON THIS? ARE THEY WAITING FOR DEATHS? THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE! *TR

ENGINE STALLED SOON AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. HAS HAPPENED THE LAST TWO TIMES THE TANK WAS FILLED. *TR

UPON FILL UP OF GAS TANK UNTIL PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF, WHEN DRIVING AWAY FROM GAS STATION, VEHICLE WILL CONSTANTLY STALL AND NOT START, VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, THIS BECAME VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAD THE GAS TANK, FUEL PUMP, EVAP PUMP, CHARCOAL CANISTER ALL REPLACED BY GALEANAS DODGE IN WARREN MI. ALL EXPENSES WERE ON ME. THE PARTS USED WERE THE EXACT SAME ONES THAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY, NO SUPERSEDED PARTS WERE USED OR UPDATED. I KNOW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHERS WHO DRIVE A SIMILARLY EQUIPPED VEHICLE. *TR

OUR CHRYSLER 300C HAD BEGUN TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH MORE THAN 3/4 TANK OF GAS. WE BEGAN TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF GAS TO NEVER FILL MORE THAN 3/4 TANK. THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS. IN DEC, 2013 THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AT OTHER TIMES. I HAD BETWEEN 1/4 TO 1/2 IN THE TANK WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT APPROX 45MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL THEN RESTART AT FIRST. THEN IT STALLED ENTIRELY SEVERAL TIMES THAT EVENING AS WE TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD MY 2 DAUGHTERS AND 2 GRANDDAUGHTERS WITH ME AT THE TIME. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL DLR, LEE CHRYSLER, WERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT THE 3 MILES. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR UNTIL 12-16-2013 WHEN THEY ADVISED THAT THE PROPORTIONAL VALVE/PURGE VALE NEEDED REPLACED AND THAT ALL OF THE UPDATES TO THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE MADE. THE TOTAL OF THIS ATTEMPT TO REPAIR WAS $379.45. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO STALL AGAIN SO I RETURNED IT. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS WITH THEIR COMPUTER HOOKED UP TO IT THEN ADVISED THAT THE PCM NEEDED REPLACED THIS REPAIR COST A TOTAL OF $1,018.61. THE CAR WAS ON EMPTY SO HE OFFERED TO STOP FOR GAS. HE FILLED THE TANK UP THEN PULLED OUT TO 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WRECKER AFTER THE VEHICLE. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR ONE NIGHT AND CALLED US TO PICK UP AND RUN THE GAS OUT TO 1/4TANK. WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD NOT STALL AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAD DISCONNECTED THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A VERY BUSY 7 LANE HWY WITH MY DAUGHTER AND 3 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER THE CAR CAME TO A DEAD STOP IN 40MPH TRAFFIC. I WAS TERRIFIED BUT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE CENTER LANE. THEY HAVE NOW CALLED AND ADVISED ANOTHER SENSOR MUST BE REPLACED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED IN THIS CAR. *TR

I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE ACTUAL START DATE OR MILEAGE, BUT THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUED PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. EACH TIME I FILL THE FUEL TANK, THE CAR ENGINE STARTS MISFIRING AND COMPLETELY CUTTING OFF, IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS FOR SEVERAL MILES (PROBABLY 6 TO 8) IF I HAVE TOPPED UP THE TANK. THIS RESULTS IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND MORE THAN ONCE HAS NEARLY LET TO AN ACCIDENT. I NOW MAKE SURE THAT I STOP FILLING THE TANK AS SOON AS THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF, BUT THIS STILL HAPPENS FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. THE ENGINE RUNS FINE AT ALL OTHER TIMES, BUT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME I FUEL THE CAR. I RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM THROUGH THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY OWNERS OF THIS CAR HARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THE FIX REQUIRES AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.. *TR

LAST MONTH, I FILLED MY 300C WITH MID GRADE GAS, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS USED SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2006, AND THEN DIRECTLY ENTERED THE TURNPIKE. TRAVEL SPEED WAS 70 MPH. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR LATER, EXITED INTO A TURNPIKE PLAZA. THERE IS A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING AREA ABOUT 500 FEET AFTER YOU EXIT THE HIGHWAY. AS I SLOWED THEN COASTED AROUND THE TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I COASTED A SHORT DISTANCE UNTIL I STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED. I HAD BOUGHT GAS AND ENTERED THE TURNPIKE AT THAT SAME LOCATION MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. I HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS GETTING HOME. HOWEVER, LAST WEEK, I FILLED UP TANK AND EXITED MY LOCAL GAS STATION, WHICH SITS ON THE CORNER OF A MAIN ROAD AND A SIDE STREET. AS I TURNED TO GET ON THE SIDE ROAD, THE STREET LIGHT TURNED RED, AS I SLOWED TO STOP, THE ENGINE DIED. I GOT THE CAR RESTARTED AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STATED TO GO AND IT STALLED AGAIN. I GOT IT STARTED DROVE THE 2 MILES HOME AND AS I PULLED INTO MY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IT STALLED A THIRD TIME. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE ENGINE. THIS CAR HAS HAD ALL ITS MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT THE DEALER, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES AND HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THESE STALLINGS STARTED HAPPENING. *TR
