general problems of the 2005 Chrysler 300C

Hood prop both sides, same for the trunk, driver side door handle, struts and rotors! hit in the head from trunk. This car has been serviced and has 157,000 miles2005 hemi. This is a recall on props for sure! looking to hear from you soon!!!replaced tire rods and the dealership said I should have called and filed for recalls.

The transmission gear shift lever interlock return spring hook is broken causing an inability to move the gear shift lever out of the park position. This is dangerous as vehicle can not be moved. Chrysler has issued a customer satisfaction notification k39 for some VIN's but not all - even though unlisted VIN's have the exact same problem.

Takata recall - shift lock solenoid, it's plastic and breaks, car was stationary.

This isn't the first time the car just shuts down when u fill the gas tank all the way up. I filled the tank and proceeded to drive and merge on to highway and without any lights or warning the car just shuts off on the highway while doing 65. I lost power and the vehicle is had to control. It took a second to start back up in the middle of the highway. This only happens when I fill the tank all the way up. It's an issue with the gas tank or a valve getting stuck open/closed in the tank. I filled the tank again and just waited at the gas station to see if it would happen again and it did. I waited about 2 minutes and the car shut off while sitting at the gas station. . I left the gas station as soon as I turned out of the gas station the vehicle shut off 2 more times. I have to either fill my tank to 3/4's a tank or purposely burn gas when on full to not have this happen again.

Gear shift stuck in park position vehicle was stationary.

I was unable to get the car out of park. The gear shift was stuck in park. I contacted the dealer who said there was a recall but did not include my VIN. He told me how to bypass the problem to drive it to a mechanic. The shift assembly was replaced at a cost of $427. 08. I would like to be reimbursed or know why my car was not in the recall.

The k39 transmission interlock leaver went bad. It would not let me take the car out of park. There was a recall on the 2007 chrylser 300c, but not on the 2005. I found numerous claim on line about this defective piece in the 2005 Chrysler 300c.

Other vehicle crossed over yellow line and hit our car from the middle of the vehicle on drivers side all the way to back and knocked off the back drivers wheel and sent us spinning around into and wrapped around telephone pole. My legs were pinned under dash and couldn't move, passenger door had been badly damaged and pushed in about one foot. Had to be cut out of the car to get me out, taken to er. My complaint is that none of the air bags deployed which I find quite odd. Would like to know where and who to contact to find out why air bag didn't deploy. We do have lots of pictures to back up our claim.

On satot having be. 8/30/14 my 300c was parked in the garage. I not used the care to go to my veterans hospital appointments and could not go because I could not get the gear shifter out of park! I had to call usaa for a tow on a flatbed truck to darcars Chrysler waldorf,MD who has maintained his car for many years. I was told by the ice manager that the problem was a pink plastic piece in the center counsel and its spring that failed, and is a common occurance in this vehicle leaving it unable to move at all-trasmission and rear wheels locked by shifter. I checked your pages for recalls and I saw two recent ones of the same car/style/yearas mine. I need my car it has veterans "dv' plates as I am totally combat wounded and disabled. I think Chrysler must pay for this repair as it is their fault, they knew it for years, and I am thinkming of filing a federal court class action under 28 usc in . Md as was against gm and Ford.

I could not shift my car out of park. I researched online and found a known defect in a small pink plastic piece, called the transmission shifter interlock lever. This part was recalled due to this defect. I called the dealer who said they could fix it on Wednesday (six days later) and that I would have to pay for it because my car was not included in the recall. Further research determined that the recall, shown as for model years 2005-2008, was actually limited to manufacture dates in this range. My car was built in 2004. The repair cost $134, including the $13 part. I called Chrysler twice and was told that they would not cover this obvious defect. It also seems obvious to me that that not covering the first cars built, in 2004, is a clerical oversight, as 2005 was the first model year. The same poor-quality plastic was used in 2004 as in 2005-2008. I believe that I should be reimbursed for this repair, if not also for the 6 days without use of my car, and that all cars built with this inferior pink plastic piece should be recalled.

The vehicle keeps stalling and it seems directly related to when I fill up the vehicle with gas. I have a 19 gallon fuel tank. Every time a fill the vehicle, it continues to stall (even at 60 mph) until the gas starts to empty out of the tank. As the gas empties, it stalls less and less. As soon as I refill, the problem starts all over again. I heard this year of vehicle is having issues with the fuel tank multifunctional control valve, which seems to exactly correlate with the issue that I am having. I just purchased this vehicle from a used auto dealer.

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.

After fueling vehicle (full tank) I drove about 1/4 mile from the gas station while turning the vehicle turned completely off while I was in a turn causing me drive up on a curb and almost striking a pedestrian. Took about 10 minutes to get my vehicle back started and about another 1/4 mile down the road it stalled again this time making me go through an intersection because the brake pedal got hard. I ended up getting it home and it sat over night. Next morning took it out, no problem except when I was leaving a store it stalled again. I thought it was a fuel issue, fuel pressure checked ok. I drained the gas in the tank and refueled from another station same problem. Seems to happen only when I completely fill up but not 100% of the time. No check engine light or body codes were detected on the car's computer.

In the very late afternoon of 8/16/2013, after grocery shopping, I went back to my car that I parked earlier in the store's parking lot, placed the groceries in the trunk, closed it, got in the car, put on my seat-belt and started the engine. So far, everything was fine and normal. I then pressed the brakes pedal, released the hand-brake and tried to pull the gear shifter from park to reverse, nothing, it doesn't work; it's stuck. I turned off the engine, restarted it and went to the same process to put the car in reverse. Still, nothing, even after about 20 repeats. For some reason, the gear shifter was definitely stuck in park. Even overriding the park interlock system (as recommended by Chrysler, in case of an electrical malfunction) didn't help. After 2 hours trying, in vain, to solve the problem with the help of a very kind passerby, angry and frustrated, I gave up and had to have the car towed to my residence. As I searched the internet the next day to find out whether any other Chrysler owner had reported such an experience, I found hundreds of Chrysler and Dodge owners reporting such an experience with their vehicle. The culprit is a piece of pink plastic that Chrysler has used as a part in the park interlock mechanism of their 2005 - 2007 Chrysler and Dodge vehicles. A repealing spring is attached to that part by a tiny tab. This is absolutely unacceptable, because it is obvious to anyone with a little bit of commonsense that as that part is frequently used (during parking and getting out of parking), the combined effects of the tension of the spring and the weather changes will result in having the tiny tab on the pink plastic part easily break. This will happen to every Chrysler and Dodge model that is using that piece of plastic. Chrysler should be held accountable to their customers when they make such a terrible and unacceptable engineering mistake.

While driving I smelled a "sweet odor" & noticehad risen & all of a sud the heat indicator had risen & all of a sudden the car stopped running. I sat for 20 minutes & attempted to start again to no avail. I waited an hour, ntried again & no luck. So I left the car & on Monday contacted the service station who inspecte the car & informed me it had thrown a piston & my whole motor would ned to be repaired or replaced. Charge was $3104. 94 + car rental. I had an extended warranty which I purchased when I bought the car & it expired at 60,000 miles. I ask Chrysler motor CO if they know of any reason this woyuld occur & if they would grant any portion of this expense? thank you.

I I have two Chryslers and both of them had the shifters freeze on them they recalled the covertable but not the 300c my friend called me yesterday he has the magnum and his shifter froze from what I hertiffany howee is that almost all the shifters are freezing and Chrysler is not recalling then but charging the custormers to replace them besides the towing fee because you cant move the cars once the shifter freezes.

When filling up the car, when I come to an idle. . . The car dies. Happens every time we fill up the car and happens multiple times after it's filled. When we don't fill up the car, it never happens. We called our Chrysler dealership and the service department said that Chrysler is having trouble with it and they have several complaints however there is no recall on the complaint.
