TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE HAZARD LIGHTS ALSO SHUT ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. WHENEVER THE CONTACT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IT WOULD FUNCTION NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 43,000.

EARLY BUILD 2005 300C WITH LOW MILES PURCHASED USED 3/11. DRIVEN PRIMARILY AS A HIGHWAY CAR RECENTLY WE STARTED USE MORE IN TOWN. I HAD READ ALL THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS HAD WITH WINDOWS (NOT WORKING) AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND HAD BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES BUT NOT THE ENGINE STALL ISSUE UNTIL OCTOBER. I READ ABOUT NOT FILLING ONE OUNCE BEYOND WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF BUT MY OBSERVATION IS EVEN THAT NOW IS TOO MUCH. WHENEVER THE CAR IS FILLED UP, IT WILL STALL/SHUT DOWN 3-6 TIMES IN THE NEXT 2-3 MILES OF CITY DRIVING. NO STUTTER, JUST SHUTS DOWN C…

2 DIFFERENT TIMES THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OUT OF PARK AND STRANDS ME. I HAVE SEEN MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS.ALSO AND CRYSLER RECALLED CHARGERS AND DODGES BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED THE CHRYSTER 300'S FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A CHEAP PART THAT BREAKS AND CAUSES THE GEAR LOCK UP AND THE WHOLE STEERING ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED PER CHRYSLER AT A HIGH PRICE. SHOULD BE RECALL AS WITH CHARGERS AND DODGE PRODUCTS.

A/C HAS NEVER RAN COLD SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WE WENT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO SEE IF IT WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT EACH TIME THE DEALER CLAIMED NO RECALL ON THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C A/C SYSTEM, WE EVEN CHECKED THE WEB FOR RECALLS BUT WE FOUND NOTHING. I FOUND THE PROBLEM MYSELF IN JULY 2005, IT SEEMS THAT THIS VEHICLE CAME WITH BAD SCHRADER VALVES HIGH AND LOW, OVER THE YEARS I JUST ADDED FREON, BUT NOW THE LEAK IS SO BAD IT WON'T HOLD A CHARGE MORE THAN 5 DAYS, WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO CLAIMED THE A/C S…

Owner report 10505111 · 2013-03-30 (March 30, 2013)
THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED COUNTLESS TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. AFTER FUELING, VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT, EITHER AT IDLE OR UNDER WAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED UNDER VARIOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS; AT SPEED, AT TRAFFIC SIGNALS, OR MUCH WORSE ON TURNS (WITH OBVIOUS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING.) I UNDERSTAND FROM MY OWN RESEARCH THAT THERE IS A CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK THAT FAILS, ALLOWING RAW GASOLINE TO ENTER THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM, WHICH CAUSES THE STALL. THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE THIS VALVE IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, AS TH…
