NHTSA Complaint #10351701 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

IN DEC 09 MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS APPROACHING LIGHTS AND MAKING TURNS. I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALER THAT HAS PERFORMED ALL WORK ON MY CAR AND THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER UPDATE. IN JUNE 2010 MY CAR STARTED DOING THE SAME THING - CUTTING OFF AT SLOW SPEEDS AND MAKING TURNS. I TOOK IT IN ONCE AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM SO THEY HAD NO FIX FOR IT. I RESEARCHED THROUGH FORUMS AND FOUND MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE, YET NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. AT THAT POINT I WENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER BECAUSE I JUST COULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR AWAY KNOWING THE DANGERS OF IT STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND NOT CRANKING. HE MADE SOME CALLS AFTER LOOKING AT THE INFORMATION THAT I HAD FOUND IN MY RESEARCH AND DECIDED TO CHANGE THE IGNITION COILS TO SEE IF THAT MAY ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. I PICKED MY CAR UP APPROXIMATELY THE END OF JUNE 2010 AFTER 2 WEEKS OF BEING IN THE SHOP AND BEING ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE RESOLVED AS THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS EXACTLY AND ALTHOUGH MY WARRANTY EXPIRES IN JULY, THEY WOULD STILL HONOR IT IF THE STALLING OCCURS AGAIN. ON AUG 24,2010 IT STALLED ONCE AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP THIS TIME. I HAD IT PUSHED OUT OF THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND TOWED TO THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN - WARRANTY EXPIRED THIS TIME OF COURSE - THEY ARE NOW SAYING IT CANNOT BE THE SAME ISSUE BECAUSE THIS TIME IT DID NOT CRANK BACK UP, WHICH I AM WORKING WITH CHRYSLER ON THIS ISSUE, BUT, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE CHRYSLER FIND THE ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING THIS STALLING AS IT CAN BECOME A TRAGEDY IF IT SHOULD STALL IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND AFTER ALL THE RESEARCH I DID - ITS OBVIOUS THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH AT LEAST THIS MAKE AND MODEL BECAUSE I FOUND MANY WHO COMPLAINED OF THE EXACT SAME THING WITH NO ONE BEING ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY IT IS HAPPENS OR ANY REMEDY TO FIX IT. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER IS NOT MAKING THIS MORE PUBLIC CONSIDERING THE DANGERS OF IT. *TR
