2006 Chrysler 300 Awd

AFTER REFILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY 2006 300C CHRYSLER, IT STUMBLES AS THOUGH IT IS NO LONGER GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. THERE IS A DEFINITE AND SERIOUS LOSS OF POWER, WITH CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY AS WE EXIT THE GAS STATION AND REENTER TRAFFIC. THERE IS A SENSE THAT THE ENGINE IS STRUGGLING AND WOULD STALL. THE LOSS OF POWER REPEATS SEVERAL MORE TIMES AS WE DRIVE FURTHER FROM THE GAS STATION. THIS PROBLEM HAS PRESENTED ITSELF ALMOST EVERY TIME WE REFUEL AND IS CAUSE FOR REAL CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. BASED ON ADVICE FROM OTHER 300C OWNERS, WE PLAN TO NO LONGER FILL THE TANK, BUT STOP AT ABOUT THE 3/4 MARK. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A VERY EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO A GENUINE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK, THE CAR HESITATES AND STALLS FOR THE FIRST 5 TO 20 MILES ON LOCAL STREETS. IT HAPPENS WHETHER I FILL TO THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OR THE STATION "TOPS OFF" THE TANK. AFTER THIS HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES, I STARTED TO FILL THE TANK TO 75% AND NOW IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE TO STALL LIKE THAT. I SAW THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE OTHER 2006 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND MY PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL. MY DEALER HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THEY SUGGESTED FILLING IT TO 75%. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL AND HEADLIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF AT THE SAME TIME. THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED WHILE THEY WERE ON OR OFF.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SPEAK TO THE NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 134,500.

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

BRAKES FAILED AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED UNDER 10 MPH. BRAKE MALFUNCTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD. BRAKES SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO NOT SLOW DOWN, CAUSING A CRASH. THEY'RE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS PERTICULAR VEHICLE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL IN REGARDS TO ALL OF THE CRITERIA THAT MEETS THE RECALL AND THE REASON FOR COMPLAINT. BRAKES ARE INTERMITTENTLY FAILING, BRAKE MALFUNCTION BLINKING ON AND OFF. CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. VOICE ACTIVATION ALERTED DRIVER TO BRAKE FAILURE SECONDS BEFORE BRAKES FAILED JUST SECONDS PRIOR TO IMPACT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP.

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
