Engine Noise Problems of Chrysler 300C

The vehicle has had two owners in the same family and has very low mileage (66000). The issue began in October of 2018. While driving on city streets at 40 mph the indicators on the dash began flickering and making noise. This continued intermittently for three months but could not be replicated at an independent mechanic. Then in January of 2019 while driving on the freeway at 65 mph the same issue happened except this time there the speedometer went to 0 but the car could still be operated. The car was taken into an independent mechanic who attempted to diagnose the issue for over a month but had no luck. As instructed by the mechanic the car was brought to the dealership where it was purchased brand new in 2006. The dealership kept the car for 6 days in February of 2019 and could not diagnose the issue, charging the owner a $240 fee for nothing. As soon as the owner left the dealership the car again experienced the same issue while driving on the freeway. The car was brought immediately to the owners personal mechanic who has had the car ever since. The mechanic has since brought the car to another Dodge/Chrysler dealership in town who charged an additional $600 ending in no diagnosis. The car is unable to pass smog as now the problem occurs more frequently and is unsafe to drive. I have seen this complaint several times online and it would seem to me that Chrysler should be responsible for fixing or compensating the owners for an obvious mechanical issue.

Whenever I fill up at the gas station about 2-3 minutes later while I'm driving the entire dash board will light up and the car will cut completely off. I have to put in in park and try to restart it about 5 times, each time the oil light comes on and it just stalls, once it does catch the speed fluctuates up and down but about 5 minutes later it happens all over again. I know it has nothing to do with the oil because I had gotten an oil change before I put the gas in the car. This had happened a couple of years ago so I had just stopped filling the car up and this time I forgot. The car cuts off while in motion, you can't turn the steering wheel, it just stops where ever you are, all I could do was cut on the hazards and keep trying to restart it, it sounds like you are trying to restart while it's already on, it makes a screeching sound, and sounds like it's trying to catch.

I was getting off work. Stopped by my barbershop to get a haircut, than planned on heading home. But I received a phone call from my wife to pick up a few things before I got home. I was in the store for about 15 minutes. The was running great. No over heating issue or nothing. Temp gauge was at it normal operation temp. I'm out of the store in the car trying to start it up. But getting nothing. But when it does start I hear alot of engine noise. So I shut it down and have it towed to my home. Had a friend of mines who works on cars come check it out. Than he tells me I need a new motor due to valve seat had dropped.

In August of 2012 my vehicle had around 76,000 miles and it was the first time I experience my vehicle stalling out and turning off while driving at around 30mphs, I pulled over and tried restarting my vehicle and notice there was loss of power and engine was behaving abnormal. I turned it off and restarted after a few minutes and that's when I hard a loud metallic engine noise. I had my car towed to puente hills Chrysler dealer and they told me I had no compression in a few cylinders, due to their bad customer service I had my vehicle towed to an independent shop that told me this was a common issue with all Chrysler and Dodge vehicle's with the 5. 7l engines. After diagnosing and taking the valve covers off they found the valve seats had dropped and bent the valves. Total cost was $3,500. Now, November 28, 2013 with 100,995 miles on my vehicle, same thing happened again, vehicle stalled at around 10mphs and once again when trying to restart heard the metallic noise coming from the engine area. This time they are charging me $4,000 to have it fix.

I was driving along @ 45mph approaching a stop light and the 5. 7l hemi engine started to make a noise that sounded like something got stuck in the fan. Upon further investigation the problem was in the left bank cylinder head. After removing the head and inspecting the valve seats no# 1 intake valve seat was missing. After taking a closer look at the valve seats it was noticed that small bits and pieces were crumbling off of the other seats. Following this I have done some research on this problem and find it to be quite common with the 5. 7 engine. The main safety problem here is that if one loses a valve seat then a valve can potentially be lost and cause catastrophic engine failure. At highway speeds this could be a very bad thing. There are two problems here. Chrysler is using a compressed medal valve seat that does not hold up under the stress of the engine as it ages and the second is that the valve seat is not sunk deep enough into the head I. E. The head does not have enough gripping surface to hold the valve seat in place. And yes I am an engineer!.
