2006 CHRYSLER 300C. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS FIRMLY LOCKED IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. *JS

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L STARTING STALLING AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORST. MY CAR NOW STOPS WHILE IDLE, AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND HAS EVEN STOP WHILE MAKING A TURN INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHO HAS TRIED TO CHARGE ME LABOR TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM (THOUSANDS) BUT, ULTIMATELY CLAIM THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AFTER RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THEIR ARE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I ALSO FOUND THAT CHRYSLER'S SOLUTION IS TO CHANGE THE GAS TANK, WHICH THEY CLAIM SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE TANK UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE STALLING PROBLEM. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER DID A RECALL ON THIS SAME STALLING ISSUE FOR THE PACIFICA MINI VAN, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY MAKE AND MODEL. THE ISSUES ARE FOUND IN 2005-2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI 5.7L ENGINES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE HAS GONE SO LONG WITHOUT A RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BY STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. MEANWHILE MY CAR STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

I HAVE HAD CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE CONTROL ARMS, TIE RODS, AND THE DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL BROKEN. I HAD TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR TWICE NOW. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE COSTS THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. THE RADIATOR ISSUES HAVE COME WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. MY ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I NEVER HAD ANY WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE MOTOR BLOWING. I HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE TO MY CAR, BUT A NEW ENGINE, 2 RADIATORS, TIE RODS, AND CONTROL ARM REPAIRS/CHANGES SEEM TO BE THE CONTINUUM FOR MY CAR. THE DOOR HANDLES ARE COSMETIC AND HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I HAVE RECORDS FROM MY DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER PLACE I ENTRUST WITH MY VEHICLE.

I FILLED MY CAR UP AND WITHIN 5 MILES IT STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME IF I PULL SOME FLUID FROM THE TANK THE CAR WILL REMAIN RUNNING.

THE SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND THE BRAKE APPLIED.

I WAS PICKING MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL, WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR. THE CAR WOULDN'T KICK OVER, THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING AND RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH ONCE I DID GET IT STARTED, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, A VALVE WENT THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK CAUSING TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. A NEW ENGINE BLOCK WAS NEEDED (JASPERS) AT THE COST OF OVER $6000. I CONTACTED CHRYSLERS COOPERATE OFFICE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE'S NO RECALL ON THE ENGINE, AND BEING THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, I WAS JUST STUCK WITH A USELESS CAR WITH A BLOWN ENGINE. I THINK THAT THIS IS SO PITIFUL FOR A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY TO STICK ALL OF THESE CHRYSLER/DODGE OWNERS WITH VEHICLES WITH KNOWN ENGINE PROBLEMS!. JUST LOOK ON THIS SITE, OR JUST GOOGLE CHRYSLER 300/C & DODGE ENGINE PROBLEMS, YOU'LL FIND 100'S, IF NOT 1000'S OF CHRYSLER/DODGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE FAILURE. SHAME ON CHRYSLER!. I KNOW THAT PUTTING A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE ENGINES WOULD BE A VERY COSTLY THING TO DO, HOWEVER IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO!....SHAME ON CHRYSLER!. I WOULD NEVER BUY A DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLE AGAIN!....

CAR HAS LOW IDLE APPROX 500RPM SHOULD BE AT LEAST 700 STALLS WHEN IN GEAR AT A RED LIGHT. POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM IF IT STALLS WHEN LIGHT TURNS GREEN COULD GET REAR ENDED. 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON INTERNET. CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN THIS PROBLEM FOR 10 YRS WITH THIS HEMI 5.7 MOTOR WITH NO IDLE ADJUSTMENT POSSIBLE. IDLE IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED AND DEARERSHIP CAN NOT ADJUST IT. VERY SIMPLE VERY CHEAP FIX. A COMPUTER PATCH TO ALLOW DEALERSHIP TO ADJUST IDLE. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO FIX FOR PROBLEM. TOLD TO CLEAN THROTTLE BODY I DID IDLE WENT DOWN. DANGEROUS AND STUPID ON CHRYSLER PART VERY POOR AND DANGEROUS CUST SERV.

DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR PEDAL LIGHTLY TO PROCEED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION.ROUGHLY 10 MPH INTO THE ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN THROUGH THE NEXT INTERSECTION CAUSING A 3 CAR ACCIDENT AND 4 PEOPLE INJURED.ALL VEHICLES INVOLVED WERE DISABLING DAMAGE WITH MINE BEING THE WORST, TOTAL LOSS.AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING INJURY TO PASSENGER AND I RESULTING IN SEIZURES TO PASSENGER FROM HEAD TRAUMA.THIS DEFECT OF THE VEHICLE HAS CAUSED A MAJOR FINANCIAL BURDEN ON ME AND MY FAMILY FROM THE DATE OF ACCIDENT AND WELL INTO THE FUTURE WITH MY INSURANCE RATES SINCE I HAVE BEEN DEEMED AT FAULLT DUE TO CAR ACCELERATING INSTEAD OF ALLOWING ME TO STOP. *TT *DT

CAR STALLED OUT WHILE DOING 70 MPH ON FREEWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS FROM ONBOARD SYSTEMS WARNING. LIMPED VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD. CAR WOULD START BACK UP, BUT WOULD STALL OUT THE ENTIRE 5 MILES BACK TO MY HOUSE. HAVE BEEN APPREHENSIVE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY VEHICLE IS DOING THIS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY GARAGE SINCE THIS INCIDENT. I HAD JUST HAD CAR AT DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE GAS TANK AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HASN'T GONE OFF SINCE THE REPLACEMENT OF GAS TANK. HAVE CONTACTED ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT DON'T FEEL LIKE CAR WILL BE SAFE TO DRIVE TO THEIR LOCATION. I'M DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO CHANCE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AGAIN. STALLING OUT AND [XXX] NEAR BEING HIT FROM BEHIND WAS ENOUGH FOR ME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
