Three problems related to power steering pump have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler 300C. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Power Steering Pump problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2018

Steering binds and has to manually turned to bring the spring loaded steering back to center position after making left or right turns and while driving. Power steering pump appears to be functioning properly, but the steering wheel still binds up when driving on roadways and when attempting to park in parking spaces.

2 Power Steering Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2013

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.

3 Power Steering Pump problem

Failure Date: 06/07/2010

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.
