VEHICLES STALLING WHILE DRIVING, MOSTLY WHILE DECELERATING. SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY WITH A FULL FUEL TANK AND WHILE PULLING A TRAILER, BUT HAS ALSO OCCURRED WITH A HALF A TANK. NO PROBLEM RESTARTING AFTER STALL. STARTED OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY IN JUNE OF 2013. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME STUCK IN PARK. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE SHIFTER FROM PARK BY PERFORMING ONLINE RESEARCH AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 145,000. *TR

I HAVE AN 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C AND AS I WAS LEAVENING FOR THE DAY FROM HOME MY GEAR SHIFT IS STUCK IN PARK AND WILL NOT MOVE. I'VE GOOGLE IT AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN CHRYSLER. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED ONCE WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR THEN ONCE WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP SIGN, IT SHUT OFF ALL SYSTEMS. *TR

WHEN I REFUEL THE CAR AT ANY GAS STATION, IT USUALLY STALLS A FEW MINUTES LATER WHEN I AM DRIVING. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS QUALITY, BUT I HAVE TRIED PREMIUM FUEL FROM ALL MAJOR BRANDS, AND EACH TIME I FILL UP THE CAR, THEIR IS A 90% CHANCE THAT IT WILL STALL TWO OR THREE TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE RPMS JUST DROP AND THE CAR STALLS. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, YET, BUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.. *TR

OUR 2006 CHRYSLER 300 SRT8 DIES AFTER FUELING THE GAS TANK TO FULL. IT HAS DIED IN INTERSECTIONS WERE WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT AND IN TURNS CAR DIES, LOCKS UP AND THERE IS NO POWER ANYTHING. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND CONTINUOUSLY PAY MONEY TO TURN RUN DIAGNOSTIC, ONLY TO HEAR " WE CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" I HAVE SPENT $400.00 TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG.CAR BECOMES VERY HARD TO RESTART. ONCE I GET THE VEHICLE STARTED, AGAIN THE STALLING STARTS, THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR REMAINS ON. AS I DRIVE HOME, I COULD FEEL THE CAR "SPUTTERING" OR HESITATING LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN. WHEN STARTING CAR IN THE MORNING IT FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE. PLEASE HELP THIS CAR IS MY FAMILY'S MAIN TRANSPORTATION AND I FEAR THAT ONE DAY THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND A BABY ON THE WAY. HELP!!! CHRYSLER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT LIVES, ONLY THE BOTTOM LINE. *TR

EVERY TIME AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL TANK OF FUEL VEHICLE STALLS AND SOMETIMES SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE IT RESTARTS. ONCE THE FUEL TANK LEVEL GOES DOWN ABOUT A GALLON, THE PROBLEM STOPS. THIS ALWAYS OCCURS AFTER REFUELING TO A FULL TANK OF FUEL. IF I FILL TO ABOUT 3/4 TANK THE CAR CAN STALL BUT NOT ALWAYS. THE ONLY KNOWN FIX TO WORK ALL THE TIME IS A NEW GAS TANK FOR $1500 TO INSTALL. *TR

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT IS ON ITS THIRD ENGINE AND NOW A ROLL OVER VALVE. KEEP IN MIND WHEN WE LOST TWO ENGINES THE CAR WAS ON AN INCLINE. TRIED TO START WHEN WE TRY IT ACTS LIKE IT IS OUT OF GAS. IT DOES NOT START THEREFORE WE HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. TWO TIMES WE HAVE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. CYLINDERS 3 OR 4 JUST FELL OFF. ONE MINUTE IT RUNS GREAT THE NEXT MINUTE NOTHING. I THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A FUEL PUMP. THIS LAST TIME IT SPUTTERED THEN SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DOING A U-TURN. WE TRIED ONCE TO TURN IT OVER AND AGAIN IT ACTED AS IF IT WERE OUT OF GAS, HOWEVER IT WAS FULL, APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES PRIOR. WE DID NOT CONTINUE TO TRY TO START IT AND HAD IT TOWED. THE CAR SAT OVER NIGHT. THE SERVICE GUY SAID IT STARTED RIGHT UP IN THE MORNING. (MONDAY MORNING) THIS AFTERNOON, TUESDAY THEY CALLED WITH THE DIAGNOSES OF A ROLL OVER VALVE. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS THE REASON WE LOST TWO ENGINES. IS THIS A LEMON OR IS THIS NAGGING VALVE THAT IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM FOR MANY GOING TO BE A RECALL AS THE NEXT PROBLEM WILL BE GAS LEAKING EVERYWHERE OR VENTING TO THE AIR OR BOTH. DO NOT WANT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FOR THE CAR TO FAIL SO MY FAMILY COULD ANSWERS YES TO ALL THREE ABOVE QUESTIONS "THAT WOULD BE SUICIDE" ,AND WILL NOT SPEND $ 1700.00 FOR ANOTHER GOOD GAS TANK WHEN THE ACTUAL PART THAT COST $0.50 COULD BE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE GAS TANK. *TR

PULLED OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER REFUELING INTO HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, CAR STALLED WHILE TURNING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER (IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STEER). MANAGED TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COAST INTO MEDIUM. PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED CAR, PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED WHILE COASTING. NO MORE PROBLEMS ON THIS TRIP. HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 3 WEEKS LATER, PULLED UP TO STOP SIGN AFTER REFUELING AND CAR STALLED. I PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 3/4 MILE AND ENTERED STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY. CAR STALLED 5-6 TIMES WITHIN 1 MILE, EACH TIME I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ABLE TO PREVENT A STALL BY WATCHING THE TACH FOR SIGNS OF RPM DROPPING THEN PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. *TR

I HAD JUST REFUELED (FILLED UP - DID NOT CONTINUE FUELING AFTER THE PUMP AUTO-STOPPED) AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION (ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES). I HAD JUST COMPLETED A LEFT TURN, APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, SO I WAS "COASTING" AT ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE DIED. LUCKILY, I WAS BESIDE OF A VACANT PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO VEER INTO THE LOT AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, IN DOING SO, I NOTICED THAT I HAD LOST STEERING CAPABILITIES AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A GOOD THING I WASN'T DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED AND GOING AROUND A CURVE, BECAUSE I WOULD'VE SURELY WRECKED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS STILL LIT UP (COMPASS, ODOMETER, RADIO STATION, ETC), BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER STOPPING, I PLACED IT IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE SWITCH AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THERE WAS SOME HESITATION, BUT IT DID START. CONTINUING TO MY DESTINATION, I COULD OCCASIONALLY FEEL THE CAR "SPUTTERING" OR HESITATING LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN, BUT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE I MADE IT HOME. HOWEVER, ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING AND BEFORE I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WANTED TO DIE AGAIN. I HAD BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, SLIGHTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND IT "SPUTTERED". IT CONTINUED "SPUTTERING" PERIODICALLY ON MY WAY TO WORK (6-8 MINUTE DRIVE). I AM REALLY BECOMING VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING OUR COUNTRY ROADS, IN FEAR THAT IT WILL SHUT DOWN AND I WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO SAFETY UNTIL I CAN REGAIN POWER. *TR
