NHTSA Complaint #10552600 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO. MY CAR STALLS FOR NO REASON IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, STOPPED AT A LIGHT, ENTERING OR EXITING THE FREEWAY, WHILE I AM DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS AND WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IF I AM DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS OR FREEWAY THE CAR DOES NOT STALL BUT MOMENTARILY DIES (FOR A HALF SECOND). MY ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND ALL THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD GO TO 0. THE CAR WILL THEN COME BACK TO LIFE AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE NORMALLY BUT CAN "DIE" AGAIN A FEW MOMENTS LATER OR NOT AT ALL FOR DAYS OR MONTHS. IT FEELS LIKE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY HAS THERE IS NO COMMON CHARACTERISTIC BETWEEN EACH INCIDENT AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY COMMON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAT CAUSES IT. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN BUT HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT IS A CONCERN. SOME DAYS IT WILL HAPPEN REPEATEDLY THEN NOT HAPPEN FOR MONTHS. LATELY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY FOUND NO CODES AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THERE WAS AN ISSUE AS THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. THE SECOND TIME I HAD A ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY FOUND A CODE FOR TCM SENSOR BUT STATED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID I HAD TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT CAUSED A SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION, THEY REMOVED THE EXCESS FLUID BUT THE ISSUE HAS STILL PERSISTED. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT DID NOT TRIGGER ANY CODES. *TR
