2005 Chrysler 300 engine complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 93 of 93, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine failure on highway due to sludge. I have all proof of timely oil changes. Chrysler does not want to take responsibility.
The car would start to shake uncontrollably while accelerating slowly and stall out at stops. The car would lose power while accelerating onto highway and make grinding noises. The check engine light comes on and the dealer states they find no codes because the light shuts off before I get there.
Engine light comes on and vehicle hesitates. Told by extended warranty company that there is a design flaw with my 2005 chrysler 300. Dealership says there is a carbon build up on the valves and combustion chamber that causes the valves to stick creating a misfire. *tr updated 09/18/07
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the driver's seat failed to move and the vehicle would stall and shut off every two months. The failures usually occur without warning and while driving 15 MPH. On july 17, 2007, the vehicle was towed to the dealer and they found nothing wrong. The current mileage is 37,000 and failure mileage was 8.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalled while making a left turn on multiple occasions. Also, the vehicle vibrated due to carbon build up. The engine vibrated until it would stall, and always stalled while making a left turn. The service dealer determined the vehicle needed a new ignition coil and cylinder heads.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 15 MPH on a street, the instrument cluster panel and gauges intermittently flickered off and on, followed by the engine stalling without warning. Afterwards, the contact shut off the engine and restarted without further incident. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who was unable to duplicate the problem. The problem persisted, and the manufacturer was alerted.
2005 300 limited has a throttle and engine problems. *ts when the consumer test drove the vehicle he told the salesperson about the vehicle rough idle. The salesperson said to drive the vehicle for about 1000 miles to work the bugs out of the engine. If that didn't work he was told to bring the vehicle back and the problem would be fixed under the vehicles warranty. The vehicle was returned to the dealer at 1700 miles. The dealer flashed the computer but the rough idle was still present. The flash created a high idle, lunging and popping sound when putting the vehicle in park. The vehicle also shook when turning the vehicle off. When the vehicle was driven over 30 MPH the throttle would not ease down when the consumer foot was removed from the accelerator pedal. The consumer had to ride the brakes to slow the vehicle down.
I currently own an 2005 chrysler 300, which in turn I am now having to replace an entire engine. My car receives regular maintenance and it gave me no sign of failure. I contacted the manuf. For assistance and it was a dead end, as well as the other consumers complaint attempts. In my investigation as well as many others the oil pump for a 2.7 is to small for the engine, therefore as the mileage comes to or exceeds 60,000ml. The engine will crash. As in my case I am not the first owner therefore I was told by the manufact. That they wouldn't grant me any assistance. Ironically, consumer engines give out at the time of there exceeded warranty.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalls intermittently. It has been taken to the dealership a total of 5 times. The dealer performed diagnostics test on the vehicle after four times the dealer is still unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle has now been taken back to the dealership a fifth time. This time a flight recorder was installed in the vehicle to find out what the problem might be. The manufacturer has been alerted.
Bought a chrysler 300 touring on march 3,2004 I've had the following problems: 12-09-04 recall d50 radiator isolator brackets, recall d51 antifreeze concentration level, noise coming from dash around the defroster advised nothing could be done for rattling. Engine light comes for a few days then goes off. Unknown reasons. 12-18-04 passenger air bag light stays on - system recalibrated. 12-21-04 passenger air bag light on a second time - system recalibrated a second time. 10-12-05 VIN number covered by dashboard - cut a rearranged pad problem corrected. 12-22-05 driver side airbag light stays on - circuit 1 code clock spring defect - replaced clock spring. 12-23-05 driver side air bag light on a second time. Had to wait until after christmas for service. Told by dealership (dodge country, tx) they would not provide a rental car which is a part of the warranty because the vehicle is operative and would not be responsible if the air bags accidentally deploys while operating the vehicle. Vehicle parked until 12-30-05 clock spring replaced a second time. 1-18-06 rear drivers side window would not roll down 50% of the time. Loud squeaking and rattling sound coming from rear of vehicle. Abs and electronic stability light on. Vehicle can't be seen for service until 1-23-05 by dealership. Vehicle parked until dealership can pick it up.
2005 chrysler 300 c has a documented history of stalling since taking ownership of vehicle. Vehicle has stalled multiple times while driving. Dealership has attempted to reprogram the powertrain control module, clean the combustion chambers, and replace the manifold absolute pressure sensor; problem still exists. After the most recent occurrence of stalling I was unable to restart the vehicle. I took a video of the attempts to restart the vehicle as the dealership has never been able to duplicate the issue. I have also contacted chrysler customer relations and they have stated that there is nothing they can do since the dealership cannot duplicate the issue even though I have shown the dealership the video of the stall / non-start issue. Vehicle has approximately 29,000 miles.
This is my second new chrysler 300 passenger vehicle that has had the same problem. The problem occurs when the car is put into the reverse position. Once, you start to back-up the car cuts off. The first car was returned to the dealer and exchanged for a second new chrysler 300. The same problem exists. The dealers mechanic said the problem was the "throttle". I believe this is a serious problem, because if it continues to cut off -- another car may hit me and cause an accident.
I have a 2005 chrysler 300c hemi. Three months ago, I put unleaded 87 octane gasoline in the tank. I drove a few blocks and the engine stopped suddenly in mid-drive. I had a difficult time restarting the car and when I did, it took a few seconds before it would engage in gear. I took the car to the dealership to check, and they advised me that the engine computers have to reajust to the lower octane. Since that time, I have only put mid-octane (89 octane). Whenever I allow the tank to be lower than a quarter of a tank and I refill with 89 it still stalls in mid-drive and hard to start with the transmission not engaging immediately. I am concerned that the car will stall in the middle of an intersection which could lead to serious injury or death.
Dt: the contact stated when the check engine light illuminated the vehicle started shaking, loses power, and noise came from the engine. This occurred at various speeds. The first time the vehicle was taken for repairs the dealership could not duplicate the problem. The second time, they replaced the spark plugs, cleaned the fuel system ,and the valve. The dealer repaired the vehicle in the same manner when the problem returned the third time. The problem has not recurred.
Dt: the contact stated vehicle stalled at stop signs and red lights, and while driving at 45 MPH. The steering wheel locked and then the car died. The vehicle has been to the dealership twice for stalling. The dealer did a diagnostic and could not find the cause of the problem. The problem seemed to be intermittent. She contacted chrysler, and they said that she needed to call customer service at her dealership; they could not be any help with any information. If the problem continued she would have to take it back to the dealer. The stalling happened five times.
Have leased my chrysler 300 c for a little over a year. The vehicle has had a random stalling issue which has occurred 3 times in the last year. Dealer was unable to reproduce the condition but did re-flash the PCM with a driveability update. Vehicle just recently stalled while turning left onto a main road. The vehicle stalled in the middle of traffic lanes and I was nearly hit by two vehicles while trying to restart the car. The car restarted and I promptly drove it to the dealership. I just received a call that they can not duplicate the problem but are investigating further. I do not feel that this vehicle is safe and am concerned that I may be injured or injure someone else in the event that the vehicle stalls in traffic again.
Day after purchase noticed load roar and steering wheel vibrating when the compressor for the air condition kicked on and off, called dealership and was told to keep driving maybe it will work itself out, maybe a kink. I am now on my fourth visit and the problem is progressing. The vehicle now stutters and almost dies each time the compressor kicks on and off. The dealership located in crystal city, mo is still figuring out how to handle the problem, which started the day after purchase.
