Chrysler 300C owners have reported 2 problems related to ignition coils failure (under the electrical system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Purchased car used and within 24 hours had car stall on me totaling about 6 times now within 2 weeks. It has stalled everywhere from highway speeds to idling and while in reverse. Car starts back up without problem if put in neutral or park. Have had fuel injectors cleaned, new spark plugs ( manufacturer suggested copper) and all new ignition coils. Dealership said the stalling was caused by old spark plugs and worn ignition coils but continues to stall after all of these were replaced. It doesn't seem to matter what speed I am going, but seems to stall more when I reach around a quarter tank of gas. The car has stalled on me several times in traffic and while entering and exiting highway. I do not feel it is safe to drive especially with kids and family in the car, there is no warning of stall and is very unpredictable.

In Dec 09 my car began to stall at low speeds such as approaching lights and making turns. I took it into my local dealer that has performed all work on my car and they said it was a computer update. In June 2010 my car started doing the same thing - cutting off at slow speeds and making turns. I took it in once again and they could not reproduce the problem so they had no fix for it. I researched through forums and found many other Chrysler 300 owners that complain of the same issue, yet no one seems to know what is causing it. At that point I went to the service manager because I just could not drive my car away knowing the dangers of it stalling in traffic and not cranking. He made some calls after looking at the information that I had found in my research and decided to change the ignition coils to see if that may alleviate the problem. I picked my car up approximately the end of June 2010 after 2 weeks of being in the shop and being advised that the problem may not be resolved as they didn't know what the issue was exactly and although my warranty expires in July, they would still honor it if the stalling occurs again. On Aug 24,2010 it stalled once again at an intersection and would not crank back up this time. I had it pushed out of the line of traffic and towed to the dealer once again - warranty expired this time of course - they are now saying it cannot be the same issue because this time it did not crank back up, which I am working with Chrysler on this issue, but, something has to be done to make Chrysler find the issue that is causing this stalling as it can become a tragedy if it should stall in the line of traffic and after all the research I did - its obvious that it is a problem with at least this make and model because I found many who complained of the exact same thing with no one being able to explain why it is happens or any remedy to fix it. I cannot understand why Chrysler is not making this more public considering the dangers of it.
