NHTSA Complaint #11104497 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L STARTING STALLING AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORST. MY CAR NOW STOPS WHILE IDLE, AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND HAS EVEN STOP WHILE MAKING A TURN INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHO HAS TRIED TO CHARGE ME LABOR TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM (THOUSANDS) BUT, ULTIMATELY CLAIM THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AFTER RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THEIR ARE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I ALSO FOUND THAT CHRYSLER'S SOLUTION IS TO CHANGE THE GAS TANK, WHICH THEY CLAIM SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE TANK UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE STALLING PROBLEM. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER DID A RECALL ON THIS SAME STALLING ISSUE FOR THE PACIFICA MINI VAN, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY MAKE AND MODEL. THE ISSUES ARE FOUND IN 2005-2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI 5.7L ENGINES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE HAS GONE SO LONG WITHOUT A RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BY STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. MEANWHILE MY CAR STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.
