2006 Chrysler 300 AWD Problems

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK ( FULL) THE CAR STALLS FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF MILES. THEN STOP SHORTLY AFTER. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005-2006 MODELS WITH THE 5.7 AND 6.1 LITER ENGINES, BUT NOT FOR THE 3.5 LITER THAT I OWN EVEN THOUGH I HAVE FOUND THROUGH THE CHRYSLER FORUMS THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY OF THESE MODEL ( 2005-20006) CHRYSLER GAVE A LIFE TIME WARRANTY TO THE 5.7 AND 6.1 LITER MODELS , BUT NOT MINE. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS THOSE VEHICLES.

I CAN NO LONGER FILL MY GAS TANK TO THE "FULL" LEVEL , IF I DO, MY CAR RANDOMLY STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING OR MAKING ANY KIND OF TURN, WITH OUT ANY WARNING OR NOTIFICATION IN THE DASH BOARD . ALSO IF I TOP OFF MY GAS TANK THE INSIDE OF MY SMELLS STRONGLY OF FUEL , AS IT IS LEAKING INSIDE SOME HOW .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AWD. WHILE AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE AND THUNDER BOLT INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, RESTARTED, AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN I FILL THE TANK. IT SHUTS OF WHEN IN MOTION.

CARS STALLS WHILE DRIVING...NO CODES ARE ON...ETC LIGHT ON WHEN STALLS AND THE CAR RESTARTS WITHOUT A PROBLEM. ALMOST IN MANY ACCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING WITH THE KIDS. CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF MODEL. TIPM IS DEFECTEDD AND THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM. *TR

MY CAR STALLED ON A STOP LIGHT TWICE LAST NOVEMBER 2014 AND JANUARY 25, 2015 AFTER I FILL UP MY CAR. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN TURNED ON THE CAR AGAIN AND IT DROVE. FOR NOW IT IS WORKING BUT I'M AFRAID IT WILL STALLED AGAIN WHILE ON THE ROAD. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. PASSENGER AIR BAG STILL NOT FIXED.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING TAKATA INFLATOR RECALLS FOR A YEAR NOW, THE DEALER IN MY AREA - FUCCELLO'S DODGE, AMSTERDAM, NY, (518)843-4206, KEEPS TELLING ME THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF OARK. DEALER RECOGNIZED THE K39 PART WAS RECALLED AND IN MY VEHICLE BUT THERE'S NO RECALL FOR MY VIN.

SYMPTOM/CONDITION: VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE SHUDDER ON SLOW, PARKING LOT TYPE TURNS. THE FRICTION DISC IN THE TRANSFER CASE CAN BECOME CLOGGED WITH IRON PARTICLES AND MAY CREATE A STICK-SLIP CONDITION WITH THE PRESSURE PLATE INSIDE THE TRANSFER CASE. CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT SEPTEMBER 15, 2005 BUT SHIPPED THE CARS ANYWAY...

2006 CHRYSLER 300 HAS HAD SHIFTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS. THE GEAR SHIFT WILL NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. FROM MY OWN RESEARCH AND CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEALER'S MECHANICS, THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE WITH 300S. A SMALL SPRING AND PLASTIC ARM BREAK FREQUENTLY. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT YET CONTINUES TO MANUFACTURE 300S WITH THESE MALFUNCTIONING/DEFECTIVE PARTS INCLUDED. *TR

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, MY HUSBAND NOTICED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LEAKING PROFUSELY FROM OUR 2006 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AUTOMOBILE. THE CAR WAS ONLY 1-1/2 YEARS OLD. SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, WE BROUGHT IT TO PASSPORT CHRYSLER OF ALEXANDER AND WERE TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT. MANAGER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FROM A DEFECTIVE CAP THAT WAS REPLACED. HE SAID THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING WITH ALL OF THEIR CHRSYLER 300'S AND WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD SENT OUT NOTICES TO CHRYSLER OWNERS TO INFORM THEM OF THE PROBLEM, HE SAID THAT THEY HAD NOT. HE TOLD ME THAT "OSHA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM" AND DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO ADDRESS. WHEN I CALLED OSHA, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T EVEN DEAL WITH AUTOMOBILES. ALTHOUGH THEY REPLACED THE PART IN MY CAR, I'M CONCERNED FOR OTHERS WHO MAY NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL IT CAUSES PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

RADIATOR FAN WENT OUT,I REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE,AS OF 2/25/2012 WAS NOTIFIED BY CHRYSLER TO BRING TO DEALER TO HAVE REPLACED ? IN PROCESS NOW OF BEING REIMBURSED,HAVING TROUBLE WITH POWER WINDOW CONTROLLER ON DRIVER DOOR,NOW THE AUTO RETURN FOR THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK,U NO WHAT CHRYSLER JUST FIX THE PROBLEM OR PAY THE BILL, YOU'RE OWNED BY THE SAME PEOPLE THAT OWN OUR COMPANY WHICH IS FIAT! NOW I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVER SIDE FRONT BALL JOINTS SQUEAKING, SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AT 50,000 MI. *TR

REF. NHTSA PE13016 "FAULTY FUEL TANKS" MAKE: CHRYSLER; MODEL: 300 LIMITED; COMPONENT: FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. EVERY TIME WE RE-FUEL THE CAR TO THE "FULL" LEVEL, THE CAR HESITATES AND STALLS. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THIS STALLING HAS RESULTED IN AN POTENTIAL COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BEING AVOIDED ONLY BY ASTUTE DRIVER INTERVENTION. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AND HAS CONSISTENTLY REPEATED DURING EVERY REFUELING SINCE. NO RESEARCH OR ATTEMPT TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL. CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS NO NOTIFICATION OF THIS PROBLEM BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROVIDED VIN NUMBER AND STATES THAT THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNTIL SUCH A NOTICE IS RECEIVED. I AM REQUESTING YOUR INTERVENTION ON MY BEHALF BY NOTIFYING CHRYSLER CORPORATION OF THIS REPORTED AND KNOWN PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. ONCE DOCUMENTED, I CAN ARRANGE TO HAVE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS MADE BEFORE ANY OTHER EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ARE EXPERIENCED THEREBY PREVENTING INJURY TO MY WIFE AND/OR MYSELF OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN A PREVENTABLE ACCIDENT. THANK YOU FOR THE COURTESY OF YOUR TIME AND THE QUICK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEGUN TO STALL AT VARIOUS TIMES AND UNANNOUNCED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ONTO HIGHWAY FROM ON RAMP. MY ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. I AM ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN DRIVE FOR SOME TIME THEN UNANNOUNCED IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND ONE THAT WHEN I RESEARCH THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND NO FIX OTHER THEN A SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT OF FUEL TANK AT $2000. THIS SEEMS TO BE PREVALENT WITH THIS CAR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AWD. WHENEVER THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT 25-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL SLIGHTLY TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE. SHE FELT A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES IN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WAITING TO BE SERVICED BY THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.
