general problems of the 2005 Chrysler 300 - part 2

In July, I was stopped at a stop sign. My car went dead - engine stopped, lights, radio went off. I put it in park and restarted. Next occurrence was about a month later at a stop sign again. Last occurrence was September 22, 2014 - this time the car felt like it was decelerating on the interstate at approx. 60 mph - the malfunction light flashed and the esp bas light came on. After I got off the highway, the car completely shut off at a stop sign. I put it in park and restarted. My mechanic has installed a program update b/c he couldn't identify the problem. I do know I filled up my car the Friday prior to the last occurrence and did not drive it until the Monday am when this last incident occurred.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that a fire erupted from the passenger's side seat. The contact called the fire department to extinguish the fire. The fire department stated that the fire was started by an electrical component. There were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified about the fire. The failure mileage was 100,000. Kmj.

I was driving with the a/c on and it just completely shut down. The air conditioning does not work at all now, wont light up or anything. Since this has happened, the air light has been on as well.

While driving my 300, all the dash board lights will come on and the gauges will go all the way up, then back down. Almost as if I were just starting the vehicle. All will go back to normal quickly and my car never looses power. This may happen 10-15 times in 5 minutes. Now, the headlights will come on by themselves and go off several times. I can't drive my vehicle at night as I don't want the lights to go out on me. I feel sorry for the people in front of me as my car keeps turning the lights on and off. This is a serious safety issue. I have already read about several of the same problems and Chrysler isn't worried about their customers safety or looking into this issue. This should have been a recall as many complaints and issues there are out there. I would like to see Chrysler step up and take some responsibility for their product. After talking to the service manager at the dealership, he said that it could be the power distribution in the truck. It is a very expensive part to replace for a could be problem. It can't been tested as the problem happens so fast, they wouldn't be able to hook it up to the machine to read the problem. Having 4 daimler Chrysler vehicles, I would like to think that they would take care of their long time customers and look into the issue. This is a major safety issue and I would like to see a recall.

While driving my vehicle home yesterday evening my car shutdown by itself. I had to restart 3 times to make it home. This is extremelly dangerous as I was on a high rise bridge at the time. Anyone knows if there is a recall on this vehicle. Again today it shutdown and will not start again. I had to be towed to a repair shop.

Car blew up.

My headlights have been flickering on an off too lately. I have no brights and I can't control my park lights or my regular lights. I'm a little scared to drive at night. It's obviously electrical, but I haven't taken it in yet because it's going to cost $.

A smell of burning wire in the passenger cabin. A yellow light cane on the dash . The passenger cabin filled up with smoke. The car quit running on the road. The trunk had popped open. That cabin was full of smoke. The car was completely dead.

The vehicle will frequently shut off while driving. It will completely lose power. It also stalls, the gear shift has gotten stuck in park and would not move. The main concern is the fact that it cut off on me on the highway again today at 75mph!! very dangerous!! luckily the semi truck was able to swerve around me but that could have been a fatal accident! something needs to be done about this. . . .

300 c fails to start after four dealer attempts to fix what was diagnosed as an "electrical problem" - a fifth occurrances documented on 9/4/07 is yet to be resolved by dealer since car parked inside garage will not start.

Ongoing problem Chrysler 300c. . . Heater control panel gets so hot you can't touch it for extended periods (you can smell the hot plastic or electrical materials. When the problem occurs, headlight switch also gets quite warm. At same time, random other problems occur. . . Seats forget settings, back up warning fails (my wife relied on this because of high back end and backed into a concrete post damaging rear bumper; we now do not trust it) radio errors reported, windows stop working or go in both directions with one push of button to name a few. . In addition, problems with engine warning light coming on. . Engine sputters and quits. If turned off and restarted, problem corrects itself but, according to dealer, throws strange error codes into computer. Problem reported to several dealers. Main one acknowledges and has seen/felt heat problem. Can not locate problem. . They suggest contacting Chrysler customer service who simply say to call dealer. Dealer also reports that Chrysler engineering can not or will not help them.

Vehicle just shuts off while driving with no indication or no reason. . . Lose all steering and brakes. Able to wait a of couple minutes and vehicle will start up again but then will shut off while driving.

Seat/mirrors, pedal,radio & steering column remote memory settings do not operated when pressing the open button on key. Does work when using buttons on left door. Dealer unable to repair. Dealer contacted mfg rep. Still unable to repair. Dealer rep said they checked memory settings on four other new vehicles in stock. Memory would not work on any model 300 vehicles.

2006 Chrysler 300c with 5. 7 liter hemi engine, 1,500 miles on odometer. Stalls and will/or very difficult to re-start. Stalled while driving which nearly caused an accident. Car at dealer now in port huron, mi. Told by dealer that Chrysler does not have fix for "computer problem" and that computer will be pulled from vehicle and sent to Chrysler engineering for evaluation; not sure when car will be fixed. Definitely a safety concer. Stalls without warning with total loss of power, steering and brakes.

My car stalls when turning left at low speeds. The first time it happened I had to pull over and restart it. Just minutes later I was approaching an intersection and turning left and the car stalled. I took it to the dealership and they advised that they couldn't find the problem and sent me away.

Dt; consumer bought a Chrysler 300 model year 2005. When driving forward at 5 miles per hour the car turns off, also when driving in reverse it turns off. Everything goes off even the lights. After placing the vehicle in park, it starts again but does not turn off. In a time lapse of 1 week it happened 3 times. Vehicle was taken to the dealer April 9, 2005 and it is still there. Dealer can't find the problem. Consumer was told to come and pick up the car. Consumer feels he/she is risking his/her life and is afraid to pick the vehicle up.

When I turn on the headlights, the headlights and interior lights flash in intensity, and brightness. The result of this hazard is that it distracts the driver of my car, and any driver on the road who come into view of the Chrysler 300. This condition is amplified by switching head lights from low to high beam. The Chrysler corporation has been aware of this problem since january12, 2005. This is a serious hazard and affects the safe operation of this vehicle. Why hasn't there been a recall to give relief and safety in this matter????????????????????????????????????????.

I purchased a new Chrysler 300 on 11/03/04 and experienced difficulty with the vehicles lights both interior and exterior. Called grogan dealership on 11/9/04 to issue the complaint. Was told to bring the vehicle in. The vehicle went into the shop at the dealership on 11/30/04 and was returned to me on 12/02/04 with an invoice stating there is no fix at this time. Made several complaints since then about the safety concern related to this vehicles lights flickering continuously. Then on 12/17/04 the vehicles lights went completely out causing an accident with an injury. The accident resulted in an injury and severe damage to the vehicle. This is a safety concern for individuals in the vehicle and any oncoming traffic. Chrysler was contacted and the dealership and neither are owning up to the safety concern. Neglect is unacceptable. I have young children and have been blessed that they were not in the vehicle at the time of the accident. Something needs to be done immediately before a fatality occurs from someone's neglect. As I can see from this website that several complaints have been issued regarding this problem. I am sure there are many more that just haven't surfaced. In addition, the vehicle is sitting at a towing lot and neither the dealership nor Chrysler have taken the initiative to have this vehicle towed and worked on for correction. Meanwhile, I am sitting without a vehicle. Anyone having this problem feel free to contact me, we need to have this corrected immediately.

(1) when stopped at a light the engine intermittently vibrates and runs rough for a few seconds and almost stalls then idles normally. Also sometimes the engine will stall out when driving. Vehicle was brought back to the dealer several times. Dealer did a computer modification #489614a1 but condition persists. (2) air conditioning. When stopped at a traffic light in gear or in neutral, the air conditioning compressor cycles on for 15 seconds and then off for 5 seconds. Each time the ac cycles on there is a clunk and vibration & grinding thru the steering column and brake pedal. The dealer installed an ac compressor pulley kit. Condition still persists. (3) when the vehicle slows down from 12 mph to 3 mph whether in drive or neutral with or without applying the brakes there is a vibration and whine noise coming from the front thru the steering column. The dealer said it was from the tires and rotated and balanced them several times. The condition still persists.
