2005 Chrysler 300 AWD

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING RENDERING IT UNCONTROLLABLE AND WITH NO POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDS OF 55 AND OVER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT STARTED SINCE THE ONSET OF THE ISSUE. AFTER MANY COSTLY REPAIRS, MY MECHANIC HAS LABELLED THE ISSUE AS A BAD/MALFUNCTIONING POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THE FUEL PUMP, SENDING UNIT, AND CRANK SENSOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH NO CHANGE. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS SPECIFIC MODEL. IT HAS NOT STARTED SINCE NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

VEHICLE HAD A DELAYED START. WHILE IN MOTION THE CAR WOULD DEACCELERATE, SLOW DOWN, AND MISFIRE. THE ESP/ABS INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND AN ALERT WOULD CONTINUE TO SOUND UNTIL THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF. THE CAR MAY OR MAY NOT START AND WHEN STARTED IT CONTINUES TO ALERT THE NEXT DAY. THE CAR CONTINUES TO MISFIRE AND DRIVING OVER 30 MPH IS UNSAFE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES BUT HAS NEVER BEEN PROPERLY FIXED.

I WAS LEAVING WORK AND STARTED MY CAY AND WENT TO PUT IT IN REVERSE AND NOTHING HAPPEN. IT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THE GEAR WAS LOCKED IN PARK . I CALLED A TOW TRUCK, AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE GEAR SHIFT FOR CHRYSLER 300S .I CALL THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT "YES THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THAT PARTICULAR PART, BUT NOT ON MY YEAR VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT MY YEAR MODEL. IF ITS A PROBLEM IN OTHER YEAR MODEL, THEN IT MAKES SENSE THAT IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANY YEAR MODEL 300. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO THIS HAS HAPPENED TO UNEXPECTED, AND I DON'T FEEL THE DEALERSHIP IS BEING FAIR TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE 2005 300 AWD MODEL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LIKE THE KEY WOULD BE PULLED OUT, WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY, SOME TIMES WOULD NOT START AT ALL BEFORE A TRIP. IT HAPPENS DAILY AND AFTER GOING TO 3 MECHANICS AND 1 CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THE ISSUE CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED. NO CODES ARE STORED AND THEREFORE THEY SAID IT'S WORKING FINE. DO I NEED TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED? I KNOW ABOUT MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME UNIDENTIFIED ERROR. THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE NEW MODELS AND THEY SHOULD START CHECKING THE OLD ONE AS WELL. IT IS DEFINITELY AN IGNITION PROBLEM AS THE CAR CAN BE STARTED BY BYPASSING THE KEY SWITCH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AS USUAL, WENT TO MY GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE. STAYED ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WHEN I LEFT I STARTED THE CAR, WENT TO PUT IT IN GEAR AND NOTHING . IT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF GEAR. I HAD IT TOWED MONDAY AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INFORMED ME THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL IN THE GEAR SHIFT ON OTHER YEAR CHRYSLER 300. I CALLED A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT YES IT HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THAT PARTICULAR PART BUT NOT ON MY YR VEHICLE WHICH IS A 2005. IF ITS A PROBLEM IN OTHER YR 300'S THEN WHY NOT MINE. OBVIOUSLY IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANY YEAR IF ITS ALREADY HAD A RECALL ON OTHER YEAR AND THE SAME CAR. THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL ON ALL. I LOOKED IT UP AND THERE WERE ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND UNEXPECTED. MY MECHANIC SAID WHEN HE TOOK OUT THE PART, SPRINGS AND PIECES FELL OUT THE OPEN PART IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PART THAT HE REMOVED. I WAS TOLD TO SAVE MY RECEIPT AND IF THEY DO DECIDE TO RECALL, I CAN GET A REFUND. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN EVEN THOUGH THE RPM'S WENT UP AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THE VALVE PUMP IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACE. ONE WEEK LATER THE CAR FAILED AGAIN IN THE SAME MANNER. THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. HAD THE TRAFFIC BEEN DIFFERENT OR SOMEONE WITH LESS EXPERIENCE BEEN DRIVING, IT COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A FATALITY OR INJURY. THERE WAS NO WAY A DRIVER COULD AVOID AN ACCIDENT FROM THE REAR AT THAT POINT. *TR

DURING A ROUTINE TIRE ROTATION I WAS ADVISED THAT THE SEAL BETWEEN THE TIRE AND WHEEL WAS FAILING ON ALL 4 WHEELS AS A RESULT OF CORROSION OCCURRING ON THE MAG TYPE WHEEL. THE FAILURE WAS TEMPORARILY REPAIRED BY SANDING THE WHEEL AND RESEALING. COMMENT WAS MADE THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED. IT IS LIKELY THIS WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR AS DUE TO BRINE SOLUTION AND ROAD SALT USED DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. THE PERSON DOING THE ROTATION STATED THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS TYPE OF WHEEL. *TR

Transmission Kit with Torque Converter 1. All Promaster (VF) 3.6L/62TE equipped vehicles. If the transmission bracket to the transmission case fasteners are removed during servicing, the fasteners (Part Number 06511385A$) are one-time usage. Vehicles built prior to 10/23/2015 requires Service Kit PN 68461214AA; includes Transmission Isolator PN 68264483AA, and Adaptation Bracket 68264479AA and Fastener Service Kit PN 68329056AA Vehicles built after on or after 10/23/2015 will require only the Fastener Service Kit PN 68329056AA. 2. All 3.6L/62TE equipped vehicles. If the vehicle you are repairing has a crack in the flex plate or failed pump bushing inspect and confirm that both (2) dowel pins are present in the engine block, which align the transmission center line to the crank shaft centerline and visually inspect the dowel alignment holes in the transmission case. If the holes are damaged or elongated the transmission should be replaced to prevent further damage to the transmission/flexplate or pump bushing due to the inability to properly align the engine to the transmission during the repair. 3. All 62TE equipped vehicles. If pump bushing is scored or damaged and the dowel pin alignment holes are ok, replace the pump assembly as opposed to complete transmission. 4. All 62TE equipped vehicles. If vehicle is jerking/slipping with MIL code(s) P0740 or P2764, check TCC Solenoid operation. If TCC Solenoid is ok, the codes are indicative of a torque converter failure. Replace the torque converter.

KEY, Master If replacing the key/FOBIK on a WJ, KJ, TJ, or PT Cruiser, use the "AC" NIC level part number. The "AB" NIC level will not program to these platforms. For all other platforms, if the "AB" NIC level will not program to the vehicle, use the "AC" NIC level part and submit a part warranty.
