2006 CHRYSLER 300C Engine Problems

ENGINE FAILURE. NO WARNING LIGHTS. ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING ON LESS THE 8 CYLINDERS. I PULLED INTO THE FIRST GAS STATION TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECK ALL FLUID LEVELS (ALL FINE). STARTED THE MOTOR, WOULD NOT IDLE AND DIED. TURNED THE KEY AGAIN AND HEARD THE MOTOR COMPLETELY CLUNK AROUND OUT OF SYNC. THAT WAS THE END OF MY 2006 300C

MECHANIC SAID THE EXHAUST VALVE DROPPED IN THE CYLINDER AND CAUSED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, NEEDS THE COMPLETE NEW ENGINE. I HAVE REPLACED THE OIL VIGOROUSLY EVERY 4500 MILE WITH SYNTHETIC OIL. THE CAR HAS 189000 MILES ON IT AND THERE ARE TONS OF REPORTS THAT SHOW THIS IS VERY COMMON AFTER 100K MILES.

CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING FREQUENTLY DESPITE PLENTY OF FLUID IN RADIATOR SYSTEM. CAR OVERHEATED WHILE IDLING AND ENGINE JUST STOPPED WORKING.

SHUT OFF AT ANYTIME, LIKE DRIVING SLOW AND EVERYTIME I HIT THE CORNER OF MY BLOCK SAME SPOT ALWAYS SHUT OFF .ONCE IN THE FREEWAY WAS SCARRY ALSO MOTOR WOULD SHAKE,ONE DAY DRIVE GOOD NEXT WOULD BE BAD,TOOK IT TO MANY PLACES NO ONE CAN PIN POINT PROBLEM, SPENT LOTS OF MONEY IN PARTS AND NEVER GOT PROBLEM FIXED UNTIL MOTER GAVE OUT WITH CYLINDER DAMAGE AT 90000 MILES .ALWAYS KEEP IT MAINTENANCE GOOD DISAPOINTED WOULD NOT BUY CHRYSLER ANYMORE BEFORE THIS HAD A NEW YORKER THAT COUGHT ON FIRE ELECTRICAL ISSUE

STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS LAST YEAR. CAR WOULD CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, CUT OFF WHILE IN A TURN AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, DEALER STATED IT WAS PCM. HAD THE CONTROL MODULE FIXED ($1000 REPAIR) AND NOW RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WANTS TO CUT OFF AT ALL SPEEDS. TODAY, MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE GAS STATION AND IT CUT OFF ON HIM AND THEN WOULDN'T START BACK UP. IT STARTED UP A FEW MIN AFTER SITTING BUT TRAFFIC WAS TOO BUSY SO WE WERE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. IT IS STILL PARKED AT THE GAS STATION AND WE ARE HOPING WELL BE ABLE TO GET IT HOME BEFORE HAVING TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS 1 1/2 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE WE ASSUMED IT WAS MISFIRING (WHEN IT WAS WANTING TO CUT OFF). WE'VE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR RANDOMLY STALLS, AT ANY SPEED, DASH LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF, WIPERS TURN ON BY THEM SELF , HORN SOUNDS BY ITSELF. HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 MONTHS, HAD AT SOMETIMES 40+ CODES COME UP ON THE COMPUTER. CHANGED MULTIPLY MODULES THEY CANT FIGURE IT OUT

THE CAR WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. OFTEN WHEN IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT, AND SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE OIL LIGHT WARNING COMES ON, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT, AND POWER STEERING CEASES TO WORK. I MUST RESTART THE CAR AND REV THE ENGINE BEFORE PROCEEDING, IT HAS YET TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE HAD THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP MECHANICS LOOK AT THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, USUALLY WITH INCREASED FREQUENCY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL. TO REITERATE, OFTEN WHEN I AM IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT THE CHRYSLER 300 STALLS. BUT THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AS WELL. THE MECHANICS I HAVE HAD LOOK AT MY CAR HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. BUT IT USUALLY HAPPENS WITH GREATER FREQUENCY RIGHT AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK TO FULL.

AFTER FUELING, CAR STALLED WHILE IN MOTION AT SLOW SPEED EXITING PARKING LOT. STALLED AGAIN A MILE FURTHER WHEN ENTERING GARAGE, BOTH TIMES WHILE TURNING. CAR HAS 19000 MILES.

I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. SINCE 2013, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAR STOPS COMPLETELY, SOMETIMES RESTARTING ON ITS OWN, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK IN 2015, STATING THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE, BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL. MOST RECENTLY, IT STOPPED WHILE MERGING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE CAR RANDOMLY TURNS OFF, NO WARNING. NOW THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND REFUSES TO START AT ALL.

2006 CHRYSLER 300C. CAR HAS 84,000 MILES. DROVE AROUND TODAY FOR A HALF HOUR. PARKED CAR. RESTARTED CAR IN 5 MINUTES, IT MADE A HORRIBLE SOUND AND CAR STARTED SHAKING, RAN ROUGH AND THEN DIED. WOULD ONLY RESTART WITH FOOT ON GAS AND RAN VERY ROUGH. TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID THAT THE VALVE/CYLINER #5 DROPPED. ENGINE IS SHOT, UNLESS I PAY TO HAVE IT RE-BULT OR REPLACED. CAR IS NOT EVEN WORTH IT. ALREADY HAD TO HAVE A RE-BULT TRANSMISSION ON CAR AT 68,000 MILES. CAR IS A JOKE AND SO IS CHRYSLER, NEVER BUYING ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS AGAIN. OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY. HORRIBLE MANUFACTURING IN THIS CAR, FROM ENGINE TO TRANS TO GAS TANK ISSUE TO ELECTICAL. CAR IS A LEMON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT COULD NOT START THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED, IT MADE A LOUD RATTLING NOISE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED WHITE SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. AFTER DRIVING 55 MPH AND PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO RESTART. ONCE THE VEHICLE RESTARTED, THE ENGINE IDLED LOW AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED IN ORDER TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME. THE CONTACT RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A PIECE OF PISTON THAT FRACTURED AND WAS RATTLING AROUND IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,342.

CAR STALLS UNEXPECTED AFTER FUELING UP

I CAME OUT OF HOME DEPOT TO A CAR THAT WOULDN'T START THIS GIVE A JUMP BUT WE COULD HERE SOMETHING GRINDING IN THE MOTOR AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE A BELT BROKE OR THE FAN WAS LOOSE THE NOISE WAS SCARY THE CAR WOULDN'T STAY ON SC I CALLED FOR A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE RESULTS WERE I NEED A NEW ENGINE.. THE #5 CYLINDER DROPPED AN INTAKE VALVE AND DAMAGED THE ENGINE $9448. I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BRAND WITH 74 MILES IT NOW HAS 78000 ALL THE MAINTENANCE WAS DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE ENGINE DYING NO WARNING SYSTEM SAID OK THIS CAR HAS ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES. NOW I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SHELL OF A CAR WITHOUT AN ENGINE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME THANKS

WHILE ON A CURVY ROAD AFTER DARK, AT 45 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN, DASH LIGHTS FLASHED AND WENT OFF, ENGINE DIED. 40 MPH ON A CURVY ROAD WITH NO LIGHTS. AFTER 20 SECONDS IT ALL CAME BACK ON. HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR 3 MONTHS. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS MOMENTARILY SHUT DOWN ON 4 OTHER OCCASIONS SINCE THEN. ON 12/08/15 MY WIFE WAS IN LINE AT THE DANDRIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PICKING UP MY GRANDSON. WHILE IN CAR PICKUP LINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED (SURGED FORWARD) THEN DIED. ENGINE DIED 5 TIMES BEFORE SHE COULD GET IT HOME. THIS WOULD BE CALLED A NEAR MISS ACCIDENT IN A WORKPLACE SETTING.CAR IS OPERATING NORMALLY AT THIS TIME. I HELD AN ASE MASTER TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION AND IN MY OPINION IT IS A DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL CONDITION. I REALIZE THAT SOMEONE MUST DIE IN ORDER TO...

UPON FILLING UP THE CAR WITH GAS, THE CAR STALLED LESS THAN 500FT FROM THE GAS STATION. THE CAR RESTARTED AND I DROVE 1/16TH OF A MILE AND AS I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 39300 MILES ON IT.

TOOK VEHICLE TO BARBER SHOP ANTI SKID LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT A WET OR SLICK RD CONDITION..TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT .PULLED INTO GARAGE PARKING CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND SHUT OFF. WOULD NOT CRANK..THE MECHANIC OPENED THE VEHICLE UP TIMING CHAIN WAS INTACT ,FOUND THE CAMSHAFT BROKE.

MY CHRYSLER 300C HAS BEEN STALLING EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. IVE TAKEN IT TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS. ONE OF THEM CHARGED ME MORE THEN $300 FOR NOTHING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T EVEN FIND THE PROBLEM BUT ENDED UP CHARGING ME FOR THE TIME. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP CHANGED MY FUEL TANK THAT CHRYSLER GAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS STILL STALLING AT EVERY STOP I MAKE. I THINK THE PROBLEM ISN'T WITH THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE IT DID NOT FIX THE STALLING ISSUE. I THINK THAT ITS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WIRING OR COMPUTER. I ALSO THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAS TANK BUT ITS CLEARLY NOT. WHY SHOULD I BE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A FAULTY PROBLEM THAT ISNT MY FAULT. I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR AND ITS ONLY GOT 140,000KM ON...

MY CAR HAS BEEN DISPLAYING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR FOR ABOUT THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS. THE MORE RECENT PROBLEM I'VE EXPERIENCED IS THAT MY CAR SHUTS OFF AT A COMPLETE STOP AND SOMETIMES AS I'M BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AS IT SHUTS OFF. I FEEL THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BEING I'VE DODGED A FEW ACCIDENTS ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WHAT IF I'M AT A LIGHT AND GETTING READY TO TURN OR MAKE A U TURN AND IT SHUTS OFF IN ON COMING TRAFFIC, OR IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HAVE TO SUDDENLY BRAKE AND IT SHUTS OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE BUT I HOPE I CAN GET HELP SOME WAY, SOME HOW. I FEEL MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

THE CAR CUT OFF 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON; ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THEN AFTER FUELING THE CAR AND PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT ABOUT 35 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I SAFELY GUIDED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 2 SENSORS (CODE:P0038)- $501.98. ONE WEEK LATER, THE CAR CONTINUED TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP CODES THAT CAME UP: P0038, P0058, P0052, P0032, PMC & ENGINE HARNESS,& PMC ENGINE COMPUTER - $2000 - DECLINED REPAIRS BECAUSE SENSORS (P0038) WERE JUST REPLACED . CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN 08-34-05 JUNE 30, 2015 ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER CORP -MICHAEL BROWSOWSKI SAYS THE CAR (NOW 56,484 MILES) IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY OWE US NOTHING, BUT AS A GOOD WILL GESTURE, THEY WILL PAY FOR 2 PARTS ONLY...

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR FROM WORK I MADE A LEFT TURN ONTO THE STREET THAT LEADS ME TO MY HOUSE THE VEHICLE STOPPED I TRIED TO MAKE IT START BACK UP NOTHING HAPPENED. I CALLED THE TOW PLACE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO CHRYSLER THEY TOOK A LOOK AT IT THE NEXT DAY SAYING THE ENGINE HAS SEIZED IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE, WITHOUT WARNING, OF MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ISSUE. ON 7/17/15, I WENT INTO THE STORE WITH MY CHILD, RETURNED TO MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE SYSTEM READ, "SYSTEM OK." SMOKE BLEW FROM THE TAILPIPE. FINALLY IT STARTED, BUT SHOOK VIOLENTLY. GRATEFUL I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY ALONE OR WHILE DRIVING. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT HAD THIS OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS COST ME $560 (THREE TOWS TO REPAIR SHOP #1, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP #2 AND FINALLY HOME AND A CHARGE FROM EACH REPAIR SHOP TO LOOK AT AND ASSESS THE DAMAGES (NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF THE RENTAL CARS). END RESULT, "PISTON #4 DAMAGED, MISSING LARGE PIECE OF PISTON TOP, NEED TO REPLACE ENGINE, ESTIMATED COST $8093." THE SERVICE TECH SAID HE'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING...

I HAD HALF A TANK OF GAS. I STOPED AT THE GAS STATION AND FIILED MY CAR UP. WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AS IM RIDING DOWN THE RODE MY CAR FELT AT IT WAS JERKING ARE AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING THEN THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RODE. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND CRUNK IT BACK UP AND DROVE INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND AS SOON AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. I THEN AGAIN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND CRUNK IT AGAIN. IT SHUT OFF AFTER A MINUTE. I THEN REPEATED THOSE STEPS AND JUST SET THERE FOR THIRTY MINUTES OR SO AND LET IT RUN AND IT DIDN'T CUT OFF AFTER THAT. EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK UP I HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR RUNS...

VEHICLE STALLED OUT AT ABOUT 5 MPH. NEXT DAY VEHICLE STALLED OUT AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. REPAIR FACILITY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM, HAD EXPENSIVE MAJOR TUNEUP, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

HELLO, I AM A CURRENT CHRYSLER VEHICLE OWNER AND IVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 WHICH JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR TROUBLE CODES REPORTED TO THE CARS COMPUTER. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IM DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WILL JUST STALL OUT. EACH TIME I TAKE MY CAR TO THE AUTO MECHANICS, THEY ARENT ABLE TO IDENTIFY ANYTHING WRONG AS THERE ARENT ANY CODES DETECTED. MY VEHICLE EVEN STALLED WHILE AT THE MECHANICS SHOP AND THEY STILL WERENT ABLE TO ASSIST AS NO CODES WERE TRIGGERED. OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, IVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND COUNTLESS HOURS, STUCK ON MAJOR HIGHS AS WELL AS REPLACING CAR COMPONENTS IN A BIG EFFORT OF TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS CONCERN. TO DATE, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THESE ANXIETIES. IVE BEEN OUT ON RELATIVE WEB SITES LOOKING THIS PROBLEM UP AND IT APPEARS...

STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER FILLING THE TANK UP. ALSO WHILE GOING AT LOWER SPEEDS. HESITATION AND LOST OF POWER AFTERWARDS. SINCE MY LAST FILL UP, THE CAR WON'T START NOW. I READ THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM DUE TO A FLOAT SWELLS UP INTO A STUCK OPEN POSITION, ALLOWING AN OVERFILL CONDITION. *TR

THE CAR CHIME WILL CHIME, THE ENGINE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL, LOSING POWER FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS, THEN IT'S FINE. I RECEIVED A SORT OF RECALL FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN RAYNHAM, MA., THE FIRST WEEK OF FEB., 2015. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 2 WEEKS FOR THE PART. IT HAS NOW BEEN 9 WEEKS, AND I'M TOLD THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR 5 ORDERS ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL OUT, WHILE DRIVING IN 35 MPH TRAFFIC, VERY DANGEROUS! IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO ME THAT CHRYSLER IS TAKING THE LETTER I RECEIVED STATING THEY CAME TO AGREEMENT WITH NHTSA TO SERIOUSLY!!! *TR

AFTER TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TWO BLOCKS WHERE IT WAS THEN PULLED ONTO A BUSY ACCESS ROAD IN TOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN TO A RED LIGHT WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED FOR A MOMENT, THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN IMMEDIATELY CUT OUT AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER PUTTING ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND ATTEMPTING TO CALL FOR A TOW ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO RESTART THE CAR AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF WAITING THE ENGINE TURNED OVER AND IT WAS POSSIBLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO A MECHANIC A BLOCK UP. THE CAR WAS SCANNED AND NO ENGINE CODES WERE FOUND AND OIL PRESSURE WAS FOUND TO BE FINE. THE CAR WAS GIVEN A VALVE FLUSH AND STARTED UP FINE AFTER THAT. THE INCIDENT REPEATED ITSELF ON 3/29/15 ONCE MORE AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK, AFTER GOING TO BLOCKS THE...

VERY SOON AFTER PURCHASING THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300C (USED), IT BEGAN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. AFTER "GOOGLING" IS SEEMS PEOPLE ALL OVER WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, AN SOME WERE ATTRIBUTING THIS TO FILING UP THE GAS TANK. WE TOOK DUE CAUTION NOT TO FILL UP THE TANK (HOW RIDICULOUS IS THIS?) AND THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PURCHASED FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED AT. AFTER THE RUN AROUND ABOUT WHO ACTUALLY "FIXES" THE CAR, IT WAS TAKEN TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHO CHARGED US $400.00 FOR A BATTERY AND THEN REPLACED SOME WIRING HARNESS WHICH DID NOTHING. WE ARE BACK AT IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I SEE AN ARTICLE IN THE LA TIMES ON THE INTERNET SAYING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THAT'S NOT HELPING. WE HAVEN'T PUT 2,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE IN ALMOST...

I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STALLING WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I PULLED OUT IN TRAFFIC AND IT STALLED, BLOCKING TRAFFIC. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO START AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD DIE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN SCOTTSBLUFF, NE AND THEY DON'T SEE AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE GAS TANK, LIKE THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE, LIKE IT MENTIONS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300C - AFTER FUELING UP GOT ABOUT 1/2MILE DOWN THE ROAD ENGINE JUST CUT OUT (NOT ELECTRICAL AS I DIDN'T LOOSE DASH LIGHTS) JUST LIKE THE ENGINE STOPPED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND CAME BACK ON. THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE AND KEPT GOING AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE, TURNED AROUND AND TOOK THE CAR HOME HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES WHILE TRYING TO GET HOME. HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE AND THAT WAS 5 DAYS AGO. *TR

AFTER FUELING MY CAR TO FULL TANK CAPACITY (93 OCTANE AS ALWAYS) I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND SLOWED DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT (TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 10 MPH). THE ENGINE STALLED AS I CAME TO A FULL STOP. I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND RE-STARTED THE ENGINE. ENGINE STARTED FINE AND I DROVE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES WITH NO FURTHER ISSUE. NOTE: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND ALL OTHER DASH INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE I INSPECTED THE GAS CAP AND VERIFIED THAT IT WAS SECURED TIGHT AND NOT LOOSE. ALSO CHECKED UNDER THE FUEL TANK AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. DID NOT SEE OR SMELL ANYTHING OBVIOUS. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF PRIMARILY AT STOPS AND GRADUALLY BECAME MORE FREQUENT TO SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND SHIFTING BACKWARDS. *TR

AFTER REFUELING ENGINE STALLED. HARD RESTART IN BUSY TRAFFIC. PROBLEM CONTINUES TODAY. *TR

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED A TOTAL LOSS IN POWER STEERING, HEAD LIGHTS, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A WELL LIT ROAD WITH A LONG STRAIGHTAWAY AND ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR TO A SAFE STOP. HAD I BEEN A FEW MILES FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A WINDING ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP OR SOMETIMES AT LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED FOUR TIMES IN ONE DAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C THAT RECENTLY BROKE DOWN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS THEY SAID THAT VALVE SEAT DETERIORATED AND DROPPED ON THE PISTON. THEY SAID IT HAD A GRENADE EFFECT AND SENT METAL EVERYWHERE, WHICH JAMMED METAL INSIDE PISTON. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST ME $3,500 FOR A USED ENGINE AND $5,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE WITH $2,200 LABOR COSTS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. THESE ARE SOME RESOURCES I FOUND: HTTP://WWW.PRNEWSWIRE.COM/NEWS-RELEASES/WHY-SOME-LATE-MODEL-DODGECHRYSLER-VEHICLES-ARE-PRONE-TO-CATASTROPHIC-ENGINE-FAILURE-210043421.HTML HTTP://WWW.TORQUENEWS.COM/397/TWO-FATAL-FLAWS-RUINING-CHRYSLER-ENGINES-CATASTROPHIC-BREAKDOWNS HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/300C/2006/ENGINE/ENGINE-7.SHTML HTTP://WWW.REDDIT.COM/R/CARS/COMMENTS/257X31/2006_CHRYSLER_300C_DROPPED_VALVE_SEAT_DAMAGE/ HTTP://WWW.CHALLENGERTALK.COM/FORUMS/F188/REPORT-PRE-MATURE-CHRYSLER-ENGINE-FAILURE-98463/ HTTP://WWW.FORABODIESONLY.COM/MOPAR/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-187432.HTML HTTP://WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM/CHRYSLER/6QZEW-CHRYSLER-300C-5-7-HEMI-DROPPED-VALVE-SEAT.HTML HTTP://WWW.CHALLENGERFORUM.COM/F17/ENGINE-FAILURE-1123/ HTTP://WWW.LXFORUMS.COM/BOARD/SHOWTHREAD.PHP/359652-NEW-FROM-S-JERSEY-2005-CHRYSLER-300C-DROPPED-VALVE-SEAT I ALSO JOINED A GROUP ON FACEBOOK AND PERSONALLY TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WHO THIS HAS HAPPENED TO.

THE CAR STALLS AT RANDOM AFTER A FUEL FILL UP. EVENTUALLY IT WILL RUN NORMALLY, HOWEVER IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES FIRST AND PUTS ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION WHEN IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD BOTH FUEL PUMPS REPLACED LAST YEAR AND IT SEEMED TO HELP FOR A WHILE, NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300C. STALLS SHORTLY AFTER FUELING. DOES NOT RESOLVE UNTIL THE GAS CAP HAS BEEN REMOVED AND ALLOWED TO SIT. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL PARAMETERS. WAS TOLD TO REFERENCE THIS NUMBER PE13-016. *TR

PURCHASED A 2006 300C SRT8 IN 2014. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTER THE 1ST REFUELING THE CAR STALLED AND BUCKED AND THEN AFTER A FEW MILES CALMED DOWN. I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS BAD GAS. DURING THE 2ND REFUELING, WITH 93 OCTANE, AND JUST AS THE FUEL CLICKED OFF, THE ENGINE STALLED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN EITHER SITUATION. THE CAR WAS WORSE THAN THE LAST TIME. THE CAR STALLED AT EACH LIGHT ALL THE WAY HOME. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES AND THEN IT STALLED AGAIN AS I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER CONCERNING THIS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ONLY ORDERING 6 REPLACEMENT GAS TANKS A MONTH AND THAT 95% OF THE TIME AN ADDITIONAL FLEX PIPE OR TUBE BREAKS DURING THE REPAIR PROCEDURE AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ADDITIONAL COST. WHAT KIND OF A...

THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS OUT AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ALL THE LIGHTS WILL BRIEFLY FLASH ON IN THE DASH, IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND VIOLENT BUCKING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS NOT THE FULL FUEL TANK STALLING ISSUE. I ALREADY HAD THE TANK REPLACED. THIS HAPPENS AT WOT OR AT IDLE OR IN BETWEEN. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR ANYMORE. I STILL LOVE THIS CAR, BUT I'M CONSIDERING GOING ON A CRUSADE AGAINST CHRYSLER UNLESS THEY DO SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY TO FIX THIS. READ THE FORUMS - MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE 6.1L AND 5.7L ENGINES. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE PISTON EXPLODED AND EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,320.

WAS PASSING A SLOWER VEHICLE WHEN CAR STALLED. TWO DAYS LATER, AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, IT STARTED DYEING OFF AND ON. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM IF DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS!! *TR

SINCE LAST MARCH MY CHRYSLER 300C SRT8 2006 IS TURNING OFF THE ENGINE WHILE IN MOVEMENT. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL OR AROUND 3/4. IT'S A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I ALMOST CRASHED THE CAR MANY TIMES CONSIDERING THAT WHEN THE ENGINE TURNS OFF THE STEERING GETS HEAVY AND THE BRAKES DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. NOW I'M NOT CONFIDENT TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THE CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO HAVE A COLLISION AND HURT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. I MADE A RESEARCH AT THE INTERNET AND I REALIZED THAT A LOT OF 300C OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IT'S CALLED AS ENGINE STALL. NOW I WANT CHRYSLER TO HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS MATTER CONSIDERING IT ALREADY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS DEFECTIVE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. I STOPPED AT THE CONVENIENCE STORE BEFORE I WENT HOME, SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WENT IN, AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT WOULDN'T. EVENTUALLY I GOT IT STARTED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND REVVED THE ENGINE A LITTLE TO KEEP IT FROM SHUTTING BACK OFF, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE ROCKS WERE INSIDE THE ENGINE, THEN TURNED OFF AFTER MAYBE 3-4 SECONDS OF RUNNING. GOT IT TOWED TO A LOCAL CHAIN GARAGE. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY GOT IT RUNNING FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WERE ROCKS INSIDE OF IT AND THAT ITS PROBABLY A BROKEN ROD, AND THAT COULD HAVE DAMAGED MUCH MORE INSIDE. NOW I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR. THE REPAIRS MIGHT END...

AFTER A FILL-UP (NOT TOPPED OFF) ON AUGUST 5, 2013 AS I MERGED ONTO THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE STALLED AND THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED BECAUSE MY GRANDSON WAS IN THE BACK IN HIS CARSEAT AND IT WAS PEAK TRAFFIC TIME. ADDITIONALLY WITHOUT POWER I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME MANEUVERING THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY TO A SPOT WHERE THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY. AT THE FIRST OFF RAMP I PULLED OFF THE FWY BUT THE ENGINE KEPT STALLING WHENEVER I HAD TO SLOW DOWN OR AT A STOPLIGHT. THIS WAS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY GRANDSON AND ME. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER THE OUTCOME WAS THAT...

I DROVE MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI WITH MY SOON TO BE WIFE AND 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO GO FOOD SHOPPING AND WAS LOW ON GAS AFTER SHOPPING I FILLED THE TANK UP AT A CHEVRON STATION AND AS I TRIED TO PULL OUT OF THE STATION IT DIED. IT TOOK 3 TRIES AND IT STARTED AGAIN THEN ON THE FREEWAY AS I WAS CHANGING LANES IT DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND I WAS SCARED TO DEATH FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FIANCE AND SMALL CHILD I COASTED TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE LANE BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET OVER EITHER WAY WITH CARS BEHIND ME HONKING I CALMLY TRIED TO START THE CAR AND ON THE 3RD TRY IT STARTED AND GOT US BACK TO MARTINEZ. IT DIED TWICE MORE AT STOP SIGNS AND A LIGHT. VERY DANGERIOUS. I BOUGHT THE CAR A WEEK AGO...

ENGINE STALLING AFTER FUELING. WE FIRST SUSPECTED BAD FUEL, BUT SOON LEARNED WE WERE NOT ALONE IN THIS ISSUE. WE WAITED YEARS FOR THE LOCAL DEALER TO FINALLY ADMIT TO A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE. CHRYSLER THEN ISSUED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE TANK. AS SOON AS THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE TANK WAS ISSUED WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND WAS TOLD WE WERE # 6 ON THE LIST WAITING ON TANKS THAT ARE ON BACK ORDER. I CHECKED STATUS THIS PAST WEEK AND THE DEALER SAID HE NOW HAS A STACK OF BACK ORDERS FOR THESE TANKS. WHAT GOOD IS THE LIFETIME WARRANTY IF THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE PARTS SUPPORT. WE REALLY ENJOY THIS AUTO BUT THE STALLING IS GETTING MORE COMMON AND WE FEEL IT IS BECOMING MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

THE CAR STALLS RANDOMLY. THERE SEEM TO BE TWO SCENARIOS WHEN THE STALLS OCCUR. ONE SCENARIO IS AT IDLE (LESS THAN 1000 RPM). THE CAR WILL JUST STALL AT A RED LIGHT, AT A STOP SIGN, A ROLLING STOP, WHEN DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, ETC. THE OTHER SCENARIO IS AT WOT. ALL THE DASH LIGHT S FLASH ON AND OFF QUICKLY, THE CAR LURCHES VIOLENTLY, LOSS OF POWER, OCCASIONAL STALL. THESE TWO SITUATIONS MAY OR NOT BE RELATED TO EACH OTHER. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL TANK REPLACED ALREADY BECAUSE OF THE STALLING THAT WAS OCCURRING AFTER FUEL FILL UP. THAT TOOK CARE OF THAT SPECIFIC STALLING SCENARIO. THERE STILL REMAIN THESE TWO STALLING SCENARIOS. THEY ARE VERY WELL DOCUMENTED IN THE ONLINE FORUMS. MANY DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO ALL 5.7 AND 6.1 HEMIS IN THE 300S, CHARGERS, CHALLENGERS AND JEEPS....
