Check engine light on for p1004 cel"intake short runner control valve actuator, a TSB is listed as Chrysler knowingly acknowledges a faulty part and has issued a TSB repair cost approx $2000 for a know defective actuator that may be stuck due to a poor design, will not pass California emissions due to cel Chrysler will not honor under warranty that expired in July, attempted to get repaired at dealer was denied said was not covered, should have been repaired under warranty, or at least emissions warranty that is 7 years or 100000 miles from my understanding.

I've owned the car for six and a half years now. At times the car just loses power without any warning. This happens intermittently and doesn't seem to matter what speed I'm going or what the road conditions are. It happens in good weather (dry roads) and bad weather (wet snowy roads). It's happened both with the cruise control on and off. It has happened at least 10 times to date. At times the car slows to almost a complete stop and then takes off again. At times it has come to a complete stop. I've had to turn the car off and back on again and it's fine. Lately when it happens if I press the gas petal repeatedly the car will take off again and be fine until the next time it happens. I've never had any check engine light or instrument panel light come on. I've taken it to the Chrysler dealer a few times throughout my ownership but it never duplicates the problem for them (of course). The car now has 113,000 miles on it and is out of warranty (figures). This is very dangerous.

I have a 2007 Chrysler 300. I bought it used on 6/14/08. Within a month that I bought it, the car stalled on me. A Chrysler dealership/garage was not able to find anything major except the throttle had built in debris. Ever since that time, the car has not ran smoothly. Most of the times, the car feels that it loses energy/power when I start to drive it (like when I start the engine and start driving). It also makes a noise when it needs to "shift" to the next power (it is automatic transmission). In 6/09-7/09, my engine light turned on, which the garage that I had to take it to that can repair any type of emission issues needed to replace a valve and then the light did not turn on anymore. Even after this repair, the car continues to feel like if it loses power. I have regular oil changes done so I do not know what is wrong. I feel that there can be some manufacture defect; however, since I have complained about the issues to different dealerships, they seem not to find any problems.
My Chrysler 300 is 1. 5 years old with less than 18,000 miles on it. It has been in the repair shop (dealership) twice for major problems. This latest one is life-threatening. The engine suddenly just stops. The car immediately looses power and coasts to a stop. No warning. The engine dies and steering becomes very difficult. I just spoke to the service rep and he says they can't find anything wrong because the engine light doesn't come on. This car is a real hazard and could potentially cause a serious accident. I've filed a complaint with the Chrysler corporation but have not heard back from them. I will never buy another Chrysler product.
The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300. While driving 30 mph, the check engine light illuminated then the vehicle mph decreased to 10. The dealer did not inspect the vehicle. Approximately one week later while driving 40 mph, the check engine light illuminated then the vehicle mph decreased to 20. In addition, the contact stated the vehicle would not accelerate when she depressed the accelerator. The dealer stated that a code on the vehicle caused the failure and they reset the code. Approximately one week later the failure occurred again while driving 60 mph. The dealer stated that valve body caused the failure. They removed and cleaned the valve body however the failure continued to occur. The failure mileage was 200 and current mileage was 2,156.
