2005 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN WHEN U FILL THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY UP. I FILLED THE TANK AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND MERGE ON TO HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS OR WARNING THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DOING 65. I LOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE IS HAD TO CONTROL. IT TOOK A SECOND TO START BACK UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP. IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK OR A VALVE GETTING STUCK OPEN/CLOSED IN THE TANK. I FILLED THE TANK AGAIN AND JUST WAITED AT THE GAS STATION TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT DID. I WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE SITTING AT THE GAS STATION.. I LEFT THE GAS STATION AS SOON AS I TURNED OUT OF THE GAS STATION THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF 2 MORE TIMES. I HAVE TO EITHER FILL MY TANK TO 3/4'S A TANK OR PURPOSELY BURN GAS WHEN ON FULL TO NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.

OIL LIGHT CAME ON AT SLOW SPEED AND ENGINE SHUT OFF BY IT SELF, ON A CITY STREET. WHY?

THE CYLINDER VALVE SEAT FELL OFF THE CYLINDER HEAD, THEN FELL DOWN INTO THE PISTON CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VALVES AND PISTON THUS THE ONLY REPAIR POSSIBLE IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. NOT SURE WHEN THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS.

THIS CAR WILL STALL AT COMPLETELY RANDOM INTERVALS. IT HAS DONE IT AT SPEED, ON ACCELERATION, ON DECELERATION, AT STOPS. OCCASIONALLY THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE CAR WILL ALSO SPIT, SPUTTER AND BUCK AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35MPH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE CAR, IT REQUIRES BEING PLACED INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK, AND TRYING AT LEAST 3 TIMES BEFORE ENGINE WILL RUN AGAIN. THE CAR WILL USUALLY CONTINUE TO STALL 3-10 TIMES. ON RETURNING TO "DRIVE" THE CAR WILL USUALLY STAY STATIONARY FOR ANOTHER 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE SURGING FORWARD. REVERSE DOES NOT HAVE THIS EFFECT. CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS, WHO CAN PULL NO CODES, AND DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT IS CAUSING THE INTERMITTENT ISSUE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS THERE IS NO WARNING THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL, AND THERE IS NO PATTERN TO WHEN IT WILL STALL. IN GOOGLING THE ISSUE, I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE CHRYSLER CAMPAIGN X53 EXTENDED WARRANTY ON "SOME" 2006 300CS, BUT WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER TO CHECK MY VIN, I WAS TOLD MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS KNOWN DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. THE MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE MANY INSTANCES OF PEOPLE DESCRIBING THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR THIS EXACT CAR. THIS A SERIOUSLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE.

WHENEVER I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES LATER WHILE I'M DRIVING THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD WILL LIGHT UP AND THE CAR WILL CUT COMPLETELY OFF. I HAVE TO PUT IN IN PARK AND TRY TO RESTART IT ABOUT 5 TIMES, EACH TIME THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND IT JUST STALLS, ONCE IT DOES CATCH THE SPEED FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN BUT ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER IT HAPPENS ALL OVER AGAIN. I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OIL BECAUSE I HAD GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE BEFORE I PUT THE GAS IN THE CAR. THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SO I HAD JUST STOPPED FILLING THE CAR UP AND THIS TIME I FORGOT. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION, YOU CAN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, IT JUST STOPS WHERE EVER YOU ARE, ALL I COULD DO WAS CUT ON THE HAZARDS AND KEEP TRYING TO RESTART IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO RESTART WHILE IT'S ALREADY ON, IT MAKES A SCREECHING SOUND, AND SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TRYING TO CATCH.
