2005 Chrysler 300 Driver assistance Problems

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY, UNDER 10 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN IT JUST UP AND DIED ON ME. TRIED TO RESTART, BUT WOULD NOT. LET IT SIT FOR 5 MINUTES, PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND HELD IT HALF WAY DOWN AND VEHICLE STARTED. BUT WOULD NOT IDLE. TRIED TO HOLD PEDAL AND PUT IT IN DRIVE.TO LIMP IT HOME, BUT DIED WHEN ENGAGING DRIVE. LONG STORY SHORT, IT WONT START OR RUN UNLESS YOU GIVE IT GAS, WILL NOT IDLE IN PARK, NEUTRAL, REVERSE OR DRIVE, AND THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS. THAT BEING SAID, I'M ASSUMING SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT, MAYBE SEVERAL LIVES LOST BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. YOU PEOPLE DO REALIZE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING YES? LOSS OF BRAKES FOR THE MOST PART, POWER STEERING, ACCELERATION, THE LIST GOES ON...NOW PUT SOMEONE BEHIND THE WHEEL THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO REACT. BUT I GUESS Y'ALL MISSED THAT PORTION OF THE CLASS, OR YOU JUST DONT GIVE A [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THEY ARE THE WORST PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH. AFTER DRIVING BY THE DEALERSHIP ON MY WAY TO WORK FOR TWO WEEKS AND LOOKING AT MY CAR SIT I WAS FURIOUS. $750.00 FOR A RENTAL FOR THREE WEEKS (A MONTH AGO) AND NOW STILL NO CAR! I'VE BEEN STUCK WAITING FOR A RIDE, MISSED WORK AND MISSED BALL GAMES FOR MY KIDS OVER THIS PROBLEM. I'M JUST THANKFUL I'VE MANAGED TO NOT GET INTO A WRECK OVER THIS SINCE I'VE READ OTHERS HAVE. THAT'S THE ONLY THING AS A CHRYSLER OWNER I'M HAPPY ABOUT. THANKS TO GOD!

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 264 THE FIRST TIME THAT THE RED FLASHING BOLT CAME ON THE DASH OF MY CHRYSLER 300 TOURING, 2005, I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 60 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DROPPED DOWN TO LESS THAN 30 MILES. IT WENT INTO THE LIMP HOME MODE. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS IN WHICH ONE PERSON SAID THAT HE HAD THE EQUIPMENT TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. WELL WE GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING EVEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE REGULAR STREETS. WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THE CAR WAS WORST EVEN AFTER TAKING IT BACK THREE TIMES. WE WERE CHARGED OVER $2000.00 BETWEEN THE TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THE CAR IS IN WORST SHAPE THAN WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO GET REPAIRED. I EMAILED CHRYSLER AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE LIST THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. IF CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT, WHO CAN? I PUT IN A SPECIAL ORDER FOR MY CAR BECAUSE I WANTED THE LIGHT GREEN COLOR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE EVER ORDERED A CAR FROM A COMPANY AND THIS IS HOW I AM TREATED. I THANK GOD THAT NO ONE HIT ME IN THE BACK WHEN THIS CAR WAS DOING THIS. IT HAS BEEN PARKED, BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING, MY FIRST MAJOR PROBLEM OCCURRED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, A RED LIGHTENING BOLT SYMBOL ON THE DASH CAME ON, AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 10MPH, TOOK TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, FOR THEM TO SAY I NEEDED A NEW PCM, WHICH BY THE WAY WAS ROUGHLY $1500. HAD THAT REPLACED, CAR DROVE JUST FINE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS, ALL THE SUDDEN IT DOES IT AGAIN, THAT SAME RED SYMBOL AND ESP BAS SYMBOL, BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, TO SAY NOW IT COULD BE A THROTTLE BODY, HAD THAT REPLACED ROUGHLY $500, PICKED MY CAR UP THE DAY IT WAS FINISHED, DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, SAME HAUNTING SYMBOLS CAME BACK ON, OH YES, NOT TO MENTION LIKE 2 MONTHS AGO, MY CAR GEAR WAS STUCK IN PARK, THANK GOODNESS A LEVER FIXED THAT PROBLEM, ABOUT $125. SO YES, I'M GOING CRAZY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS RED LIGHTENING BOLT SYMBOL AND ESP BAS, HONESTLY I THINK THESE CHRYSLER'S NEED A MAJOR RECALL, SOMETHING JUST ISN'T RIGHT. THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE CHRYSLER'S 300 FROM WHAT I'VE READ. I HAVE YET TO STILL TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I JUST CAN'T WHY UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZES IN THESE SPECIFIC CARS, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER W/O HAVING THE EXPERIENCE OF THE 300C STALLING WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PREVIOUSLY. THE CAR NOW STALLS 3 TO 4 TIMES AFTER REFUELING. I HAVE PURCHASED HIGH-OCTANE GAS FROM THE SAME VENDOR SINCE 2004 W/ NO ISSUES. MY MECHANIC THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE RESIDUE FROM THE GAS TANK GIVEN THE VEHICLE AGE OR AN AIR BUBBLE BECAUSE I LET THE TANK GET TO ~ 2 GALLONS. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES INDICATING ISSUES. THE CAR NOW STALLS W/I A MINUTE OF REFUELING WHILE TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES BETWEEN STATION & HOME. THE CAR WILL NOT START IN N, IT HAS TO BE IN P. TYPICALLY THE NEXT DAY AFTER REFUELING THE CAR IS FINE, FORTUNATELY I DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR STALLED REQUIRING THE MORE THAN 2 TURNS OF THE KEY IN P. AGAIN NO READINGS ON AUTOSCANNER THAT I PURCHASED BECAUSE TIME/$ PROHIBIT GOING TO MECHANIC CONSTANTLY. MY SON IS LEARNING TO DRIVE AND TEACHING A 16 YEAR OLD HOW TO OPERATE A STALLED VEHICLE WITH NO STEERING IS DIFFICULT. UPON STALLING, THE CAR BRAKES ARE THE ONLY OPTION OF CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. I HOPE CHRYSLER FINDS A FIX BECAUSE THIS CAR HAS BEEN VERY RELIABLE. *TR

FILLED UP AND LET GAS NOZZLE STOP AUTOMATICALLY. DOES NOT HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY. BUT UPON SLOWING DOWN TO STOP, CAR WILL JERK FORWARD. AND AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP, USUALLY AT A STOP LIGHT OR MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, CAR WILL DIE. CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. THIS WILL HAPPEN A FEW TIMES UNTIL SOME FUEL IS BURNT. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF CAR JERKS FORWARD INTO ANOTHER CAR. I GOT THIS LINK AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE 300CFORUMS.COM ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS A BAD GAS ISSUE. BUT FOUND IT TO HAPPEN ANYWHERE I FILL UP. *TR
