2006 CHRYSLER 300 Engine Problems

CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING. DIFFICULT TO RESTART AND LEAVES YOU IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE'VE HAD IT COMPLETELY STALL GOING 70 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE LIMPING TO THE SHOULDER. TOO DANGEROUS TO RE-MERGE AFTER CAR FINALLY RESTARTS BECAUSE IT WILL HESITATE AND MISFIRE OR STALL AGAIN. THIS WILL HAPPEN ABOUT EVERY 2 MONTHS WITH NO SYMPTOMS BETWEEN INCIDENTS. ALSO SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE IN HOTTER WEATHER. *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS AUTO SHOWROOM NEW FROM THE DEALER IN 2006. ALTHOUGH BREAKING WAS QUESTIONABLE, WE ACCEPTED WHEN TOLD THE SYSTEM WAS FINE AND THE JERKING WAS NORMAL. HOWEVER, SINCE APRIL 2008 THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED OFF AND ON AT THE MOST UNSAFE TIMES. THE DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT. WE HAD A NEW FACTORY ENGINE INSTALLED ($7,000) IN 2012 AND GUESS WHAT? THIS NEW ENGINE HAS STARTED STALLING. ALL OUR WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED AT A DEALERSHIP SO CHRYSLER CAN'T CLAIM THAT AN AUTO SHOP MIGHT HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER VIEWING ALL THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND HAVING IT HAPPEN TO MY WIFE AND I, WHY HAVEN'T YOU OR CHRYSLER TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM? DOKKKKKKKKKKKK *TR

AGAIN THE 2006 5.7 L HEMI STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER FUELING. HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART, AND I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED VERY SCARY! *TR

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT. THE CAR JUST STALLED. I RESTARTED WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. IT WAS A FEW DAYS AFTER WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAS PROBABLY HAPPENED ABOUT 7 TIMES MORE SINCE THEN, EVERY TIME WHILE I WAS IDLING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. EACH TIME IT RESTARTED ON THE FIRST TRY. HOWEVER FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN DRIVE GOING ABOUT 15 MPH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER LEVER FAILED TO OPERATE UNLESS THE SHIFTER COVER WAS REMOVED AND THE CABLE WAS LOOSENED.
