general problems of the 2005 Chrysler 300C

When the fuel tank is topped off the vehicle stalls 2-6 times until the excess fuel is burned off. This has happened on the road, in parking lots, intersections, etc. It causes total loss of power & power steering. Additionally, I usually have to shift to park, neutral, reverse, drive, reverse, and then drive again in order to get the transmission to lock back in forward gearing. Causing me to have to additionally pull over, or stop, when/wherever the incident occurs.

The main grounding wire passenger-side engine block contact point had corrosion(rust) limiting electrical current flow to the wiring harness. This caused too much current to flow to 2 smaller 16 gauge grounding wires attached to the rear of each hemi cylinder head to fry. This directly affects the ccn bus communications to the cpu. Any device, module, or sensor attached to the ccn bus can have intermittent behavior. Examples of very bad behavior in my car: 1. The alarm randomly going off while parked or when driving the car. 2. While parked and the alarm set the sunroof decided to open up during a rainstorm filling my car with 3 inches of rain. 3. The 300c doesn't use a throttle cable. It utilizes a throttle position sensor that communicates with the cpu over the ccn bus. Just touching the gas pedal was the same as pressing the gas pedal to the floor. It's a good thing that when this happened to me there was no traffic on the road and I was close to home. Since this is ccn 2-wire twisted pair bus communication issue anything that communicates with the cpu can have a random intermittent problem. Since these cars are getting older I have to think that there are other cars that are or will have similar issues. Pray to god that your throttle doesn't stick wide open like mine did. I had to keep my foot buried on the brake while I was screaming down the road until I was able to turn off the ignition. Have fun coming to a stop or driving home after that happens. Formally I was an i2c bus communications(2 wire bus) expert at both intel corp and cisco systems. I know what I am talking about. Today I talked with a bremerton Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep technical service representative about this issue. Bottom-line over $3000 to fix. There may have been somebody somewhere that is dead because of this factory defect and no one is the wiser. Why not a factory recall issue?.

My Chrysler 300c has 114,805 miles on it. I drove it to the gas station before going home. Filled it up with gas. Went to start it up and it wouldn't. I had to have it towed to the shop. The outside temperature last night was 63. The engine temperature was normal. There were no warning signs. The car drove fine all the way from my office to the gas station which is 33 miles. Mechanic says the valve seat has dropped and the engine is completely ruined now. I now have to pay almost $7,000 to get my car driveable again.

I was going to check the oil level when the top of the dipstick came off in my hand. It is made of plastic. ; I was opening the drivers door, the handle came halfway off, subsequently all handles have done the same thing. The washer fluid does not spray. These problems all happened in the past 3 or 4 years. The vehicle was stationary for these problems. While turning, the steering wheel would not continue too turn, heard a " thunk", finally turned but the turn signal mechanism does not work now.

The cylinder valve seat fell off the cylinder head, then fell down into the piston causing damage to the valves and piston thus the only repair possible is to replace the engine. Not sure when this happened because there were no warning signs.

Dropped intake valve seats on this hemi engine. Based on my research, this is a known problem on the hemi engines from this time period. Stopped at the store for 20 minutes, came out and tried to start the engine and all I heard was metal on metal as the engine tried to turn over. Engine needs to be rebuilt or need to buy another rebuilt engine.

Car dies after fueling. It will sputter then die, it will also die while coming to a stop. After refueling it sputters and dies at gas station but it can happen within the next couple of miles. It will die while pulling out in traffic and extremely dangerous. Reading on line this is a common problem and no one can figure it out. It also will not always go back into gear after it dies.

Filled the car with gas and the car died within 5 minutes of the gas station. Restarted the car and had the same thing happen two more times. This has since happened after ever fill up since. We bought this vehicle may 1st 2015. The issues with it dying started happening the very first fill up. We just figured it was a vapor lock but after reading the compliants, oviously not. This needs to be recalled as someone is going to hurt.

Car had been running fine. All routine mataniance done regularly. Came home Tuesday night. Attempted to start car next morning would crank but not turn over. Car was towed to shop and mechanic advised no compression on #3 cylinder. Engine needs to be rebuilt. How can a car run fine one day and with no warning indicator alerts and no trouble running need a new engine the next? mechanic states possible valve spring came apart.

After refueling, engine stops running at low speed or idle. Engine restarts immediately. After several miles and 4 or 5 restarts engine runs smoothly. Dangerous because of loss of acceleration, steering and braking.

When I bought the car at bredemann's cheverolet last Tuesday, they forgot to fill up the tank so I took the car back today to get filled up. After they filled up the tank I went on my way and before I can get on the road the engine died. I restarted it and it stayed on a bit then died again. After a few times of this the car eventually started and seemed okay so I got on the road, after driving a few feet the engine died in the middle of the road. So I restarted it again and turned around and went back to the dealership. The salesman took a look at it and we drove the car around the lot a few times and it seemed okay so I thought wow, that was weird. . . I thank the salesman and went on my way I got a few blocks and the car died again in the middle of the road. It's a pretty scary feeling because it would die all of us sudden while driving. I just bought this car. I've been reading reports and forums all day today and it looks like this is a common problem with this type of car. Would this be part of a recall or would I be responsible to fix this. I can't afford big repairs right now, considering I've just put down cash to buy this car.

I had just completed a fuel fill-up and upon driving away from the pump the engine died, losing all power. With 3-4 attempted restarts the car moved for short distances and repeatedly died. When it did restart, the engine would not engage in drive. Eventually, the car would run normally and would continue to run until the next fill up. The latest incident (after 3 incidents) occurred Feb 4, 2014. After my mechanic was able to duplicate the incident on Feb 7 and discovered that this problem has occurred multiple times to other vehicles. Chrysler corp should have issued a recall in my opinion.

After filling the vehicle with gasoline it surges while gong down the road then dies. Vehicle restarts, may surge and die again, then drives normally tell next gas fill up.

While dropping my grandchildren off home. My Chrysler 300c hemi engine after shut off did not restart. After having the car towed to a repair shop, it was stated that the valve seat drop, cause damage to the piston. A review of information online reviewed that this was a known problem.

Driving down the road it dies in traffic and the steering wheel gets stiff and doesnt let u turn it shut it off it starts right back up nothings wrong with it this is a serious deal driving in traffic also lights dim changed battery it helps but eventually goes back to doing and as your driving down road the car acts like it doesnt wanna go then it accelerates on its own I just want my car fixed I love this car everywere ive searched and taken to they say its the tpim.

Filled up at gas station. Did not "top off" tank. Allowed it to stop on its own. Car died unexpectedly pulling out of gas station into traffic. Died twice again on way home.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the shifting gear failed to shift into drive. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle but the shifting gear defect persisted. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000. Kmj.

The most recent incident I experienced was the gearshift getting stuck in park. Luckily I wasn't too far from home when this happened. I'm waiting for a dealer to diagnose the problem. I have also had issues with my car cutting off after filling my gas tank. The dealer suggested that I not fill the gas tank to the full line. So far this has worked but there needs to be a permanent fix for this problem. Along with the car cutting off my driver side mirror dimmer is not functioning properly. The mirror has an orange tint to it and when I look at it the images are blurred. There are list of other issues I've had with this car but I would be typing all day.

My 2005 300c 5. 7l randomly shuts off for a split second than start again if I'm moving. I'm I'm at low speed below 10 or at a stop the car with die. I can restart but it can take a second to go back in gear. I've seen many people with the same issue but noone has had a good fix. This is not only after fueling with my car it can happen at anytime and seems to happen when I try to accelerate hard while at higher speeds. 60+.

This problem only after fill the gas tank. After pulling away from the pump and pulling into traffic the car died and won't start until you put in park. This happens until some of the fuel has been used up. I would have it happen make it home. Then the next time I drive it the car will die until its been driven enough to use up some fuel. This dangerous because it happen as you slow down or start up. I have had it die while turning and lose all controls because it dies! the only way to combat this is to not fill the tank. That works if I drive the car but my family members forget that and have lost control also! this has been going on for 3 years! dangerous.
