NHTSA Complaint #10569236 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300

I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THESE 300S WITH HEMIS ARE DEATH TRAPS WAITING TO HAPPEN AND STRONGLY FEEL THAT A RECALL IS NECESSARY. IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JULY, 2013 BUT THE LATEST WAS LAST WEEK, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 2014 AT ABOUT 11:30PM. MY HUSBAND, MY 6 MO BABY, AND MYSELF HAD JUST FILLED UP THE GAS TANK ON OUR WAY HOME. WE WERE MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND ONTO THE MAIN ROAD, WHEN THE CAR WENT COMPLETELY DEAD. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND, AFTER ABOUT 3 ATTEMPTS AND A GOOD 20 SECONDS OR SO, HE FINALLY GOT THE CAR STARTED. IT SPURTED A LITTLE BUT STARTED TO MOVE. ABOUT A MILE LATER, WE WERE PULLING ONTO OUR STREET, WHEN THE CAR DIED AGAIN AND DID THE EXACT SAME THING. LUCKY FOR US THERE WEREN'T MANY CARS ON THE STREET AND EVERYONE WAS ALRIGHT BUT THIS IS NOT SAFE! THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS GOING FULL SPEED, AT LEAST 45 MPH!! SOMEONE CAN DIE! AFTER THIS LATEST INCIDENT, I'VE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO IT'S UNRELIABILITY AND OUR CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 2 DAYS-GOING ON 3. IT TOOK THE SERVICE MANAGER 2 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT IT'S A FAULTY GAS TANK AND THAT'S AFTER WE TOLD HIM ABOUT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION, ACTION NUMBER: PE13016, WHICH JUST ENDED, FEBRUARY 10, 2014. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER EXTENDED IT'S WARRANTY TO COVER GAS TANKS FOR A LIFETIME BUT, NOT FOR ALL CHRYSLER 300S! WE ARE BEING CHARGED $1,905 FOR OUR GAS TANK TO BE REPLACED, WHICH SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON OUR FUEL TANK BUT I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY ATTACHED TO OUR VIN. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED AND RECALL ALL GAS TANKS OR AT LEAST EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO COVER MORE, IF NOT ALL CHRYSLER 300S!! *TR
