Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Chrysler 300C

Yesterday I experienced an sua incident and nearly lost my life. I was entering a freeway and began to accelerate my car. Suddenly I felt as if the gears kicked and the car began to accelerate on its own to max revolutions. I pressed down on the brakes to see if it would stop and there was heavy resistance. I took my foot on the break and the car began to accelerate and rev completely on its own and the engine felt as if it was going to explode. I luckily was able to jam my foot on the break and pull over to the emergency lane and eventually come to a full stop. From there I put the car in park and removed my foot from the break pedal. Again the car began to jump to full revs with the engine screaming. I turned the car off and on several times and this continued to happen. After waiting one hour I was able to start the car and drive 20 mph back to my home and I will have it towed to a repair shop shortly. If I panicked or was not strong enough to press down on the brake pedal, the car would have accelerated to full speed and I certainly would have died and likely other people would have too.

The car won't tell me when I'm too close to another vehicle now and I can't use the cruise control either and the steering wheel is shaking while driving.

I was driving and car began to loose acceleration. Car then completely shut down on me in the middle of the road without a cause. Car was towed by a tow driver I know and car hasn't started ever since. Came to realize it's showing codes p0513 for the anti-theft system. I then began to read more about it and it's a manufacturers error. It's a common thing for Dodge and Chrysler's from 2005 to 2010 to shut down for no reason due to anti-theft system.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Chrysler 300c. While driving 70 mph on the freeway, the vehicle accelerated and the service electronic control module warning indicator illuminated. The contact attempted to depress the brake pedal while allowing the vehicle to slow down. The contact veered to the shoulder of the road. Once the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to bettenhausen Chrysler Jeep (15941 s 94th Ave, orland park, IL 60462, 708-460-5337) where a diagnostic test was scheduled. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 41,000. The VIN was invalid.

Depressed accelerator pedal lightly to proceed through an intersection. Roughly 10 mph into the acceleration the vehicle suddenly without warning accelerated on its own through the next intersection causing a 3 car accident and 4 people injured. All vehicles involved were disabling damage with mine being the worst, total loss. Air bags did not deploy causing injury to passenger and I resulting in seizures to passenger from head trauma. This defect of the vehicle has caused a major financial burden on me and my family from the date of accident and well into the future with my insurance rates since I have been deemed at faullt due to car accelerating instead of allowing me to stop.

The contact owns a 2017 Chrysler 300c. While attempting to park the vehicle in the garage, it accelerated independently and crashed into the wall. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact was not injured. The vehicle was taken to southern maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (824 portland road, route 1, saco, me 04072, (207) 282-4101), but was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

Pedal broke off the car during operation.

The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300c. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. In addition, while the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle continued to accelerate. The contact had the vehicle towed home. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

Car randomly stalls, at any speed, dash lights flash on and off, wipers turn on by them self , horn sounds by itself. Had it at the dealership for 2 months, had at sometimes 40+ codes come up on the computer. Changed multiply modules they cant figure it out.

While on a curvy road after dark, at 45 mph, the electrical system shut down, dash lights flashed and went off, engine died. 40 mph on a curvy road with no lights. After 20 seconds it all came back on. Had no problems for 3 months. Electrical system has momentarily shut down on 4 other occasions since then. On 12/08/15 my wife was in line at the dandridge elementary school picking up my grandson. While in car pickup line with the transmission in drive, the dash lights came on, the vehicle accelerated (surged forward) then died. Engine died 5 times before she could get it home. This would be called a near miss accident in a workplace setting. Car is operating normally at this time. I held an ase master technician certification and in my opinion it is a dangerous electrical condition. I realize that someone must die in order to get this problem fixed and that is a shame.

My car has been displaying erratic behavior for about the last seven months. The more recent problem I've experienced is that my car shuts off at a complete stop and sometimes as I'm braking to come to a stop at a light and power steering locks up as it shuts off. I feel this is extremely unsafe being I've dodged a few accidents already because of this issue. What if I'm at a light and getting ready to turn or make a u turn and it shuts off in on coming traffic, or if I'm on the highway and I have to suddenly brake and it shuts off at high speeds. I'm not sure what can be done but I hope I can get help some way, some how. I feel my life depends on it.

Car stalls when idle, car stalls when at low speed, car stalls when starting to drive (at low speeds), all power/electric cuts out intermittently while in motion.

I filled up the car with gas and after driving about half a mile the engine stalled while in traffic. The car started and stalled repeatedly five or six times for about four blocks. At a certain point the problem stopped and the car was drivable. I took the car to a nearby auto shop and they found no error codes in the system. After leaving the auto shop the car continued to drive without stalling. Several weeks later I filled up with gas again and the problem repeated itself after driving about half a mile. The engine stalled about five times. It was more difficult to turn the engine over this time but it eventually started and drove fine.

My vehicle brakes did not work & other problems with the vehicle & when I asked the dealer if there was recalls on anything they said no & I know there was some because a friend of mine has the same vehicle.

Filled up tank for the first time since purchasing my 2006 Chrysler 300c. (came from the dealership with a full tank) no more than 2 minutes of driving later the car began to shudder and lurch as if it were going to die. I was able to put it in neutral and keep it running but it was running rough. Continued on and pulled into a parking lot where the car died. I was able to restart it but it died shortly after. Restarted it again and was able to keep it running by giving it a little throttle. I began combing the internet and discovered this to be a fairly common issue after filling up. I limped the car home and siphoned a few gallons out. It seems to be running ok since then.

My husband filled up the tank on 110413 (already had 1/4 tank). I drove to and from work, but once I backed into the yard the vehicle would not crank again. As I revved the engine the car would act like it would continue running after the initial start up, but as soon as I took my foot off of the accelerator the car cut off. I had to have the car towed to a Chrysler dealership, but no one mentioned the issues that customers have been having with this specific vehicle (2006 300c with hemi). Vehicle is currently in the shop and the mechanic mentioned it might be the engine. . . Oh really!!!!!.

Driving down the road it dies in traffic and the steering wheel gets stiff and doesnt let u turn it shut it off it starts right back up nothings wrong with it this is a serious deal driving in traffic also lights dim changed battery it helps but eventually goes back to doing and as your driving down road the car acts like it doesnt wanna go then it accelerates on its own I just want my car fixed I love this car everywere ive searched and taken to they say its the tpim.

I was on the way to a doctors appt with my pregnant daughter on 264 heading towards chesapeake, va. I was doing 55 mph and the tank was on 1/8 th of a tank. As we were driving, about 15 min later, the car lurched, a ding was heard, the etc light flashed, the rpms dropped to 0, then resumed a second later causing the lurching forward. About 3 to 4 minutes and intermittently over the next 15 min later, it did the same thing, but also stalled at the stop lights on the way there. No codes came up when diagnostics were put on it. The throttle control unit was replaced and a relearn was done, this did nothing. Same thing happened. I have read many other reports of this happening and no one has an exact fix for this. Also, may have nothing to do with this, but about 2 weeks prior to this happening, I was filling up with gas and the tank overflowed. No problems occurred through the next 3 or 4 fill ups, the tank was on an 1/8 when the first hesitation and stalling occurred.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while driving 75 mph, the accelerator pedal fractured. The contact had to manually depress the accelerator with his left hand and maneuver the vehicle to safety simultaneously. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 76,000.

I had this happen several times after I would fill up with gas. At about 30mph or when I would come to a stop and then try to accellerate the car would stall and cut off. Would then try and restart the car after several attempts it would finially restart. Sometimes when I would reach speeds of 55mph it would cut off and I would have to steer with the best of my ability to pull to the side of the highway. Finially I just took it to the Chrysler dealer and had them put a new evap canister on it and new trottle something on it 600+ dollars.

After filling up at the gas station the car stalled 3-4 times before beginning to surge. After several minutes of stalling/surging, it was fine. It does it every time the car is filled now.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling, the engine stalled while driving at 5 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the charcoal canister needed to be replaced and the throttle needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 70,000. Updated 07/10/lj the consumer stated the fuel tank module failed. When the tank was filled it caused the engine to lose power. Updated 07/19/2013.

I backed my vehicle out of the driveway, headed downhill to the intersection. I stopped at the stop sign, as I accelerated leaving the stop sign, the vehicle stalled out. I placed the shifter in neutral and restarted the vehicle. Drove to the next intersection and the vehicle did the same thing. After the initial problem I drove the vehicle to the dealership, where I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle was, and is, still under warranty. The dealership diagnosed the problem to be a failed throttle control and brake pedal assembly, estimated cost of around $1,000. They would not say for sure if the repairs would fix the problem. These repairs would not be covered by my extended warranty. My vehicle has stalled out sporadically this past several months, sometimes in heavy traffic, where I could easily be rear ended. My vehicle has the 5. 7 liter hemi v8 engine with automatic transmission.

I filled the tank and the vehcile stalled several times the next few miles. Especially after right turns, like when merging onto freeways. This happens now every time when I fill the tank. Very dangerous. From web forums I understand gas is getting sucked into the evap system because a check valve at the gas-filler neck doesn't work. What a pain! I replaced the evap solenoid, that didn't help. . . The problem at the gas tank filler-neck check valve.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 chrylser 300c. The contact stated while driving 10 mph or greater, the vehicle had a vibration coming from the floor of the vehicle. The dealer was contacted who referred him to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was contacted who stated to contact NHTSA. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000. Tlb.

While merging on the freeway, the gas pedal made a cracking sound while pushing it down. 3 days later while in heavy traffic while pushing the accelerator pedal down it made a cracking sound and broke off, fell down, and was hanging by the wires. It has a thin plastic mounting flange. That will break off easily with not much foot pressure. New one installed with a radiator clamp around the whole thing to beef it up, added screws. So far it has kept me from getting rear ended in traffic.

2007 Chrysler 300c - experienced three (3) separate incidents of accelerator failure. Accelerator would not functioning when pressed down. All three incidents occurred in cold weather spread out over 18 month time span. Engine was still running but accelerator would not function. Chrysler dealer checked out vehicle but could not find an error code, was unable to duplicate problem and ended up taking no corrective action. Each time I had to pull over to the side of the road, turn off and restart the engine to clear the problem. The car worked fine again after restarting. Fortunately each incident occurred at low speed and was controllable. Problem would be very serious if it occur during attempt to accelerate into high speed traffic such as an interstate on ramp.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300-c. The contact stated that when driving at any speed, the vehicle would shift from the eighth cylinder to the fourth cylinder, causing the vehicle to become unresponsive to acceleration attempts. The vehicle started to lose power when driving at lower speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The dealer replaced the coil as a precaution however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who advised that the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The failure mileage was 13,000 and the current mileage was 36,000. Kmj.

When foot is taken off of the accelerator, the car continues to accelerate. This occurs anytime you accelerate, from 0 to 50 and from 50 to 70. Substantial brake pressure has to be applied for the acceleration to stop. This happens whether or not the cruise is on. The dealership refused to fix under warranty as the mileage had expired by 500 miles.

The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300c. While driving 40 mph, the contact attempted to accelerate and the accelerator pedal split into two pieces. The contact did not notice any differences prior to the failure. The vehicle has been serviced by the dealer for the failure. The current mileage was 10,000 and failure mileage was 8,000.
