NHTSA Complaint #11024821 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300C

THIS CAR WILL STALL AT COMPLETELY RANDOM INTERVALS. IT HAS DONE IT AT SPEED, ON ACCELERATION, ON DECELERATION, AT STOPS. OCCASIONALLY THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE CAR WILL ALSO SPIT, SPUTTER AND BUCK AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35MPH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE CAR, IT REQUIRES BEING PLACED INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK, AND TRYING AT LEAST 3 TIMES BEFORE ENGINE WILL RUN AGAIN. THE CAR WILL USUALLY CONTINUE TO STALL 3-10 TIMES. ON RETURNING TO "DRIVE" THE CAR WILL USUALLY STAY STATIONARY FOR ANOTHER 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE SURGING FORWARD. REVERSE DOES NOT HAVE THIS EFFECT. CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS, WHO CAN PULL NO CODES, AND DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT IS CAUSING THE INTERMITTENT ISSUE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS THERE IS NO WARNING THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL, AND THERE IS NO PATTERN TO WHEN IT WILL STALL. IN GOOGLING THE ISSUE, I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE CHRYSLER CAMPAIGN X53 EXTENDED WARRANTY ON "SOME" 2006 300CS, BUT WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER TO CHECK MY VIN, I WAS TOLD MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS KNOWN DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. THE MESSAGE BOARDS HAVE MANY INSTANCES OF PEOPLE DESCRIBING THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR THIS EXACT CAR. THIS A SERIOUSLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE.
