I informed the dealership of ignition switch recall shortly after purchasing vehicle. The dealership stated " the VIN number shows no recalls". And that was it said there nothing showing up. I KNOW ignition switch is messed up because every time I would turn the car off I could still feel it running. I've had my car a year and now it will not crank due to ignition switch and now fuel air intake is also messing up and has caused cylinder 6 to miss fire. I have been without a vehicle for a month now and I need it fixed. When test driving the car, it would slow down as I was turning into a place of business and almost getting hit by another vehicle.

PURCHASED 2008 CHRYSLER 300C ABOUT A MONTH AGO. INTERIOR HAS ODOR OF GASOLINE. I GOOGLED AND READ ABOUT THE ISSUE. SEEMS IT IS NOT UNCOMMON AND SOME FOLKS HAVE FOUND CRACKED PUMP OR A NEED FOR REPLACING THE SEAL OF PUMP. I DON'T SEE ANY FUEL SITTING ON TOP WHEN I PULL UP THE REAR SEAT. USUALLY SMELL AFTER CAR SITS FOR AWHILE THEN SEEMS TO DISSIPATE WHILE DRIVING.. COULD IT BE SOMETHING ELSE IN ENGINE? THIS IS AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE WITH THE ODOR.

A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE OCURS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO 3/4 TH. OR MORE. THE GASTANK HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE, THE FUEL LEVEL SEAL ON TOP THE TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED. AND THE TANK HAS BEEN PRESSURIZED TO TRY TO FIND THE CAUSE, BUT TO NO AVAIL.THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, AND THE DEALER REMEDIES HAVE NOT ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM. LESS FUEL IN THE TANK ELIMINATES THE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. WHEN PARKED, THE ODOR IS WORSE. THE GARAGE IS DANGEROUSLY FILLED WITH GASOLINE FUMES.

HAD TWO OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS WHERE AS I'M DRIVING ALONG, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO KEEP CAR FROM COLLIDING WITH OTHER VEHICLES ON ROAD. MOST RECENTLY, I EXPERIENCED A 3RD INCIDENT WHERE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 30 MPH, ALL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF CAR. AND TRIED TO RESTART. ENGINE STARTED BUT WAS IN 'LIMP' MODE AND HAD CODES IN COMPUTER. HAD CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC AND THEY STATED CODES P0344 , P0340 & B1A35 PRESENT. ADVISED THAT MOTOR NOW HAS A KNOCK IN IT AND WOULD NEED AN ENTIRE REPLACEMENT.

MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. PRETTY MUCH WHEN THE MOTOR IS IDLE IT TURNS OFF. IT ALSO FEELS LIKE IT STUTTERS WHILE TRYING TO SPEED UP. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT MANY CHRYSLER 300 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ITS CAUSING ME LOTS OF PROBLEMS WHILE IM DRIVING BECAUSE SOMETIMES AT STOP LIGHTS RIGHT BEFORE THE LIGHTS CHANGES TO GREEN MY CAR WILL TURN OFF SO I HAVE TO QUICKLY TRY TO TURN IT BACK ON TO TAKE OFF. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
