NHTSA Complaint #10551332 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

MY VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT ON ME INTERMITTENTLY. IT MOSTLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER I GET FINISHED PUTTING GAS IN MY CAR. UNLIKE MOST OTHER STORIES I'VE READ ABOUT OVERFILLING THE GAS TANK, THIS HAPPENS TO ME SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT JUST A HALF OF A TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR. NOW, AS OF NOV. 7, 2013, IT'S DONE IT WELL OVER 100 TIMES; THAT'S SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN MAY. THE DEALERSHIP IS A COMPLETE SCAM. THEY KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT. THEY'VE CHARGED ME TO FIX EVERYTHING FROM EGR VALVES TO PCMS TO SPARK PLUGS. NOTHING HAS WORKED.THEN FINALLY I DECIDE TO DO SOME DEEP RESEARCH, THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO FILE MY COMPLAINT. THERE ARE 2 MAJOR ISSUES I HAVE. WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I'LL LOSE ALL POWER AND THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR A SPLIT SECOND, THEN IT'LL KICK BACK IN. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, TO SAY THE LEAST. THE MORE FREQUENT PROBLEM, IS THE CAR COMPLETELY CUTTING OFF WHILE EITHER AT IDLE, OR TRAVELING AT A LOWER SPEED. BOTH SITUATIONS HAPPEN ALMOST ALWAYS DIRECTLY AFTER I PUT GAS IN MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS SO MUCH THAT IT IS BECOMING UNBEARABLE. SOMETIME IT STARTS BACK UP, AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO. IT'S RIDICULOUS. I DON'T MIND PAYING TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. HOWEVER, DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, KNOW THAT'S THE PROBLEM, AND LET'S GET IT FIXED. DON'T RUN ME THROUGH $3,000 WORTH OF REPAIRS, KNOWING THAT YOU'VE GOT COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME MODEL AND MODEL YEAR, COMING IN AROUND THE SAME TIME, COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. THAT'S NO COINCIDENCE. AND QUITE FRANKLY, IT'S FRAUDULENT. I'VE GOT MY 5 YEAR OLD SON RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME MY CAR STALLS OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOSES POWER, WITH ANOTHER CAR TAILGATING ME? WHAT IF IT'S A TRACTOR TRAILER NEXT TIME? WILL THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BRAKE OR PLOW INTO THE BACK OF ME? MORE UNNECESSARY STRESS AND WORRY FOR THE LOYAL CONSUMER. THANKS CHRYSLER. *TR
