Equipment Problems of Chrysler 300C - part 1

Car stalled after filling gas tank. I was driving through an intersection and had to stop for oncoming traffic, when the car stalled and would not immediately restart, it eventually did start after several panic moments of being stuck in the intersection while the light was changing to let opposite traffic proceed. It stalled 2 more times on the way home. Both times I was slowing the car down when this occurred. I have been fearful of driving this car again since this happened. I heard there was a recall from Chrysler for lifetime replacement of gas tank due to a possible control valve shutoff float failure. My vehicle has never had the gas tank or float replaced, but it does not show up for a recall when I enter VIN. What should I do?.

Car will buck/jerk at higher speeds, will also die at low speeds or idle, will fall on its face when trying full throttle, the oil light, check engine light, limp mode will flash sometimes traction control, esp will flash most the time the 2 lights stay on problem has been confirmed by 2 dealers. Puts my saftry at risk because engine will js die at 20mph I lose brakes and steering. Problem first appeared about the beginning of this year when my camshaft went out but wasn't showing a code for a month and a half then gave me a code since then ive had this problem vehicle has not been inspected.

Unknown, but based on what I've read and seen others describe happen to them I would say it's somehow connected to the park assist. But my battery loses voltage while driving, the car will start blowing hot or cold air which ever it prefers at the time without any heating or cooling system being turned on, the dash goes crazy the rpms, speedometer and everything else will drop to zero the transmission will start jerking and the service park assist warning will flash on and off repeatedly very fast then the car died while driving on the highway and refused to start even with a jump start. Replaced the battery twice in 2 weeks and the alternator as well and the car continues to do this randomly. No codes show up but the abs light, esp bas lights are on, the brake light will come on every now and then without the brake being pressed and the car seriously just seems to have a mind of it's own.

The car will just shut off while driving or at rest. My safety and other people on the road is unsafe in the vehicle because when it shuts off in the middle of the road the steering wheel is also not working. The car has been to multiple shops with each shop guessing what could be the problem and fixing what they think may be wrong and after 2,000 dollars the car is still stalling out while being drove. No lights or diagnostic test come up with anything that could cause the problem.

The first time I was on the highway and then engine just stalled out on me during rush hour traffic is was almost rear-end by a simi truck I got off the highway and get the car started and then when I was at a stop sign and I started to make my left hand turn I was about half way into my turn and it sallied out again with traffic coming from both directions and it didn't want to start thank god that the oncoming car tired off and then other was able to slow down enough to go around me as I am scared to death that I was going to be hit due to the car stalled out and left me sitting in the middle of the road our car has left me twice now at the same intersection as I was making my turn these are not the only times that it's stalled out on us I am not comfortable driving our car as with it stalling out 3 time's in a 2 day time that put my life and others in danger something needs to be done about this issue before someone gets killed due to the sudden stalling we live out in a rural area with no other transportation so we need our car and depend on it and can't afford to get a new car this is a very serious issue that needs to get addressed ASAP.

Shifter into park have to tap it all the way to the left after car is off to remove key from ignition or car stays on.

The car is prone to intermittent stalling, in which the engine cuts out without warning or signs of stumbling. Often it happens at idle or when initially accelerating from idle, but has also happened several times at speed, up to 40 mph, with accompanying loss of power steering. Sometimes the engine kicks back on after a momentary loss of rpms, if at speed, but other times it does not. I have brought it to two Chrysler dealerships and three independent mechanics in an effort to find the problem, with various parts being replaced, including the x53 extended warranty for the 19 gallon fuel tank, but the problem persists without successful diagnosis. Only one of the independent mechanics was reportedly able to replicate the condition. Usually, the check engine light, electronic throttle control light, oil light, traction control, and electronic stability lights turn on during a stall, and sometimes the check engine light stays on. The car may several trips without a stall and then stall multiple times in one trip. It usually does not generate a code, but sometimes produces p0700 and u0100 codes. The car always starts again following a complete stall. These symptoms appear fairly widespread in 2006 Chrysler 300 vehicles, based on car owner forums. The level of fuel in the tank does not appear related.

Car shuts off while in motion like it’s not getting fuel or like I shut it off has new fuel pumps and everything I can check seems to be ok can cause an accident due to happening in traffic on major highways and whenever it chooses this has happened on multiple occasions including holiday weekend with a lot of traffic almost causing accidents has occurred on exit ramps, highways, red lights, parking lots, back roads, everywhere the date listed is one of the many when it has occurred.

I recently purchased my Chrysler 300c because it had great reviews and was even on top lists of vehicles for this year. Soon after purchasing, I started encountering the dreaded “300 stall”. With two small children in the vehicle, it has died at more red lights than I can count. Not to mention while driving down the highway, trying to pull out of my driveway, or really just various other occasions. In a matter of a little over a month, I have almost been rear ended at least a handful of times. Considering how many people I have discovered has this same issue, there should be some sort of manufacturer solution or at least a public warning not to purchase this vehicle. I bought the vehicle thinking I was getting a top rated safe vehicle for my family and this is not what I am experiencing.

I have a 2008 Chrysler 300 and Chrysler has stopped providing updates to the navigation system in 2018. This is very dangerous as the navigator provides prompt to turn on the road which no longer exist as well as traveling on highways which are shown to be in the middle of a forest or swamp.

Back in Feb. 2014 you closed an investigation on the 2006 Chrysler 300c saying it was a gas tank causing the engine to stall because Chrysler said they would replace the gas tanks. If you would have done your job right. You would have seen there was more then gas tank problems. There are hundred's of us still having stall problems. The dealerships don't how to fix these vehicles. And Chrysler acts like there's no problem. . Read more...

The temperature reading is running toward hit. I was told that the radiator fan is not strong enough to keep the radiator cooled off. I looked online and saw this is happening in most cars this make model and year. I have to stop driving the car for a while to let the car cool off. This is happening in motion on the street and highways.

I was driving at 70mph 2:30 am on the highway at night right before a curve the headlights shut off due to the main computer �tpim�. In essence it kills all auto features immediately including the headlights. It's a common problem with these cars just look on some of the forms online. I'm upset because my wife could have been driving the car at the time. Chrysler should be held accountable sense it's an issue with this car in general. They also have issues with the lifters due to the poor quality of the lifters rollers and the mds system.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300. The contact stated while her husband was attemptong to take the vehicle to the dealer for the recall under (NHTSA campaign number: 16v352 air bags) the vehicle would not shift out of park gear. After several attempts the contact spouse was unable to drive the vehicle and it remained park. The vehicle was not taken to an independant mechanic or a dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of this failure. The failure mileage was 130,000 tp.

When driving the vehicle it will out of no where without warning shut off on you. Youy lose all power. I was on highway at 70 mph and the vehicle shut off and with loss of power was hard to get the car to right edge of road and was almost hit by a semi truck. I have replaced on advice of Chrysler the fuel tank, fuel pump, new pcm and new tcm and the vehicle still shuts off without warning. It throws two codes u0100 and p0700. U0100 is lost communications and p0700 is transmission fault. These are two generic codes and the p0700 is just a simple as the transmission going into limp mode when engine stalls. Chrysler dealers/service center don't know whats causing this, but you look all over the internet there is 1000's of the same complaint and nothing being done to help. I even called Chrysler and they lied that they have never heard of this issue. It is effecting cars from 2005-2006 and is very dangerous. My girlfriend had her kids in my car and was using it and it stalled out and she was almost run into at 9pm at night because of the sudden loss of power and shutting off. I have written you numerous times with no reply back so I am assuming you guys are over looking this issue also. . Read more...

While driving car it will lose power and shut off. It will do this a couple of times then run good. I changed out engine recently and put new coils and spark plugs in and a new pcm and it has started again. It will just shut off and have to keep restarting. I asked Chrysler and they say they never heard of this issue but there are thousands of same complaint all over the internet. Again car had issue with original engine, now has new engine and same problem car shutting off or lossing power constantly. There is approx 600 miles on new engine and same problem has come up.

While driving car randomley has m0mentary loss of power. There is a bell sound and then the car restarts, but it drops out of cruise control and sometimes has check engine light, or other dash lights. Usually lights clear upon restart. This has happened from Nov 2019 to present.

For the past two months while attempting to accelerate, my rpm will jump to over 3 while barely pressing on the gas. This issue tends to happen more when I slow down (but not completely stop, like at a changing light) and attempt to speed back up. My car doesn't accelerate very fast but the rpm will be very high. Also, while on the highway, going a constant speed my rpm will jump up and down. I've attempted to use my autostick to get the rpm to drop back down and it only helps occasionally. I've had spark plugs replaced, a new battery, a transmission flush, wires replaced for the throttle body (they were broken/burnt), my car said it had the wrong oil in it, so I got another oil change, I've had the transmission flashed twice. I've had 5 different people/shops look at my car (including the dealership) and none of them can figure out what's causing it, all repairs have totaled over the last two months since having this issue, roughly $1,500. The issue is still happening and this is my second Chrysler 300c.

My car cuts on and off several times while driving. If I and stopped and a light or stop sign it will cut completely off and I will have to crank it back up. Sometimes it will crank right up and sometimes it will crank up and cut off a few times before it will stay crunk. I never know when it will happen because it give me no warning. There is no engine light on. I have taken it to the shop and called the dealer and no one can explain why this is happening. I tried to pull it up online and I seen where this has happened to several people since 2014 and no one could tell them what the problem is either.

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.

Drove the morning of (7/22/18) , parked car , 2 hours later had to run some erands , shift would not move , locked in park. . Had car towed to shop , part being ordered will take three days , approximate cost to repair 550. 00 , mileage 46700 . Need transmission gear shift.

Came out of the store to start the car. It wouldn't start. Engine made a coins shaking in can noise. Had towed to a service center, they asked if it had overheated, I said no because it hadn't shown any signs it had. They said it got so hot things melted and valve seats and pistons were ruined. I've read about Dodge Jeep and Chrysler hemi 5. 7s and valve seats and many people had this exact same problem with no sure reason as to why. I believe there is some defect in the engine itself causing this and extended warranty's won't cover claiming because valve seats aren't an internally lubricated part or some bs reason. Needs immediately looked into I'm about to lose my car over it!.

Screen turns black and green when on reverse or sometimes go black while driving, making certain controls like heated seats and heated steering wheel inoperable. The entire screen flashes with lines and flips between black and green. Issue happens intermittently, but more when putting the car on reverse instead of showing rear image it goes into a flashing green screen. Dealer tells me this is a common issue and usually they replace the entire unit which costs thousands of dollars. Issue has been happening for over 6 months and now car is 90 miles over the 36k bumper to bumper and had to open case with Chrysler to see if they can cover the repair/diagnostic.

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

The shifter will not come out of park with the car running and the brake applied.

My 2006 Chrysler 300c 5. 7l starting stalling after filling the tank and has progressively gotten worst. My car now stops while idle, at traffic lights, and has even stop while making a turn into traffic. I have taken it into the dealership who has tried to charge me labor to investigate the problem (thousands) but, ultimately claim that they do not know what the problem is. After research, I have found that their are thousands of owners with my make and model having the same issue. I also found that Chrysler's solution is to change the gas tank, which they claim should fix the issue. The dealership changed the tank under their extended warranty and this has not fixed the stalling problem. After doing more research I found that Chrysler did a recall on this same stalling issue for the pacifica Mini van, but did not include my make and model. The issues are found in 2005-2006 Chrysler 300c hemi 5. 7l engines. I don't understand how this dangerous issue has gone so long without a recall. Someone is going to get seriously injured or killed by stalling while driving in traffic. Meanwhile my car still has not been fixed.

My recall on my Chrysler 300c went out the alternator before they had the part to fix it and now my monitor went out cause of it. I was lucky it was in front of my house when it died.

Camera intermittently cuts on and off. At times when it does come back in the image is inverted. The picture is clear but everything in it is on the wrong side. I almost hit a car because the camera showed it on my left but the car was actually on my right. Camera almost always malfunctions while reversing. Is now an ongoing issue. Brought it to the dealership while under warranty and was told nothing was wrong with it.

While driving the car it shuts off or stalls at any given moment. It has tried to stall while driving 80 mph, stalled at traffic lights, etc. Can be very dangerous. We took to a mechanic and the car did not stall while it was there so they were unable to find anything wrong. The next day it happened again, and again and again. I have a video that I can share but I cannot upload it.

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.

Was driving along the highway and my sunroof suddenly exploded and glass started falling into the car. No cars were around me and sunroof was closed. Was driving around 45-50mph on highway 98.
