NHTSA Complaint #10551596 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

I BOUGHT MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C BRAND NEW & I'VE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. IT WAS PURCHASED STRAIGHT FROM DAIMLER/CHRYSLER, ORDERED & BUILT TO MY SELECTED SPECIFICATIONS THROUGH CHRYSLER. I SET THE ORDER IN FEBRUARY 2005, IT WAS BUILT & FINISHED 11 NOV 2005. THIS WAS DONE WHILE I WAS FINALIZING MY CAREER IN ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY SERVICE & RETIRED. I RETURNED TO THE U.S. 7 JAN 2006 & THAT'S WHEN I SAW & PICKED MY THEN BRAND NEW 300C. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT CAR EVER SINCE. I TRULY LOVE THIS CAR & TO THIS DAY STILL LOVE THIS CAR. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY ONE OTHERTHAN PUTTING GAS IN IT, VERY DEPENDABLE CAR. IN 2007 JUNE I WAS DIAGNOSED CANCER OF THE BONE & BLOOD (MULTIPLE MYELOMA, STAGE 4). AFTER BEING HOSPITALIZED FOR APPRX. 18 MTHS, ONE DAY WHILE COMING FROM CHEMO IT STARTED TO OVER HEAT & BLOWING STEAM, HAD IT TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER & HAD TO HAVE THE FANS & THE SENSORS REPLACED, 1ST MAJOR PROBLEM, THEN AFTER THAT IT WAS THE SHIFT LEVER STUCK IN PARK, THEN THE "A" FRAME & CONTROL ARMS, NOW IN NOV 2012, AFTER ATTENDING MY GRANDMOTHER'S FUNERAL, I FILLED IT UP @ A GAS STATION & IT SHUT OFF, WOULD START BACK UP BUT CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN ONCE I GOT IT STARTED IT WOULD SPUTTER, KICK, & STALL, THIS WAS REPEATED FOR SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE HWY & WAS FINE TIL I HAD TO FILL IT UP AGAIN FROM THEN ON IT CONTINUED TO DO SO EVERY FILL UP. I DID RECEIVE AN INDICATION OF THE GAS CAP (REPLACED) THEN JUNE 2013 I FILLED IT UP AS USUAL & IT SHUT OFF & IT WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART, I WAITED & START IT AGAIN IT DID SO I PULLED ON TO THE ROAD, IT BEGAN TO STALL, SPUTTER, & BUCK, AS I CREPT HOME, I HEARD A LOUD CRACKLING SOUND LOST ALL POWER, HAD IT TOWED WAS TOLD #4 VLV HAD FELL DOWN IN THE CYLINDER, AFTER 3 MONTHS 2008 5.7L ENGINE PUT IN, PROBLEM STILL EXIST, EVAP SOLENOID, CANISTER, PUMP, & FILTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED. *TR
