It is the same part in all 300s made that year, why should it only apply to some vehicles? does not make since unless company is just trying to make it look like they are doing something when in fact they are doing nothing to address defective part that breaks with no warning and leaves drivers stranded.

2006 Chrysler 300 limited with 3. 5 and auto trans. Transmission shifter has failed 2 times in the last year. 1st time it was stuck in park and would not move, the vehicle towed to Chrysler dealer and shifter repaired. Iaw dealer the plastic clip inside the shifter broke. 2nd time the shifter would not go to park and could not remove the key from the ignition. Drove the vehicle back to the dealer and the shifter was repaired again, a new plastic piece used again. Chrysler I was told is aware of the problem. Will this happen again yes but when no idea. If Chrysler is aware of the problem (and not the only one going thru this) why isn't Chrysler trying to solve the problem? instead they keep replacing the part as it breaks. What will happen when the warranty expires on the vehicle? will I incur the expenses to have it repaired.

While working in roanoke, va I was leaving the mall and was behind another vehicle at a stop light. Light changed and proceeded to make a left turn and the car spun around twice on a four lane highway. I was not going no more than 15 mph because I was behind the other vehicle. Experience from driving in alaska on ice, I was able to maintain calmness and not slam on brakes and keep the car under control. The car rested in the turning lane in the opposite direction. I know the other drivers was as scared as I was not knowing if I was going to slam into them because I was so out of control. I contacted mike an engineer at Chrysler's headquarters and left him a message as to what had happened and to this date he has not responded. I have a history with them because my car also shuts off while driving. Chrysler flew a team of engineers in for a week to check out the car, but they weren't able to duplicate the problem. I was told until the car stops running or the check engine light comes on and stays it's nothing they can do, but they will cover the cost of repairs once the problem is found. I hope it doesn't take the loss of life before they will issue a recall on these cars. Maybe if we all sent letters to the ceo something will be done before we have another Toyota crisis.

I have been told "this problem does not exist",or "we can't find the problem"or" Chrysler does not know what causes this to happen" some times the car just shuts down when it loses power. This is a major problem that other Chrysler owners have had and Chrysler continues to ignore.

Car check engine light comes on briefly, shake, engine shuts off while driving, backing up, or at a stop on several occasions. Problem started in oct 2007. Taken to two different Chrysler dealers (whitten bros. & crossroads, va) and told that no code found to show a problem when hooked to the computer. Second dealer experienced problem while test driving my car, but the code resets itself quickly and the dealer is not able to diagnose a problem. I was told that I would have to wait until the car completely stop running and the check engine light comes on and stay on.

On 1/25/06 I lost all acceleration on my 2006 Chrysler 300c 4dr. Sedan. The engine was running, pressing the accelerator revved the engine but their was absolutely no acceleration. Luckily there was a shoulder, I was in the right lane and was able to coast over before being struck by the truck behind me. The vehicle was "repaired" by the dealer (mcdonough Chrysler in east brunswick, NJ) and returned to me on 2/10/06. The same thing happened to my wife while driving south on us route #1. This time there was no shoulder and the tractor trailer behind her only avoided hitting her by swerving to the left and going around her. When the vehicle was towed the tow truck operator made a comment that he tows "about 20 of these cars a week. " this may be an exaggeration but it would seem to indicate a serious problem.

When vehicle is placed in reverse, you must keep your foot on the brake, as the car rolls forward (this is on any slight incline) does this everytime. Chrysler says, I have to keep my foot on brake when going in reverse to keep car from rolling forward. Feels like the reverse gear is not locking in place as it is supposed to. Safety issue .
