2006 Chrysler 300 brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 39 of 39, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle was parked in garage. Had been driven home at 11:30p.m. And woke up to fire in the garage at 1a.m. Entire home and contents were lost. We had to jump from 2nd story windows to escape our home. Fire department and fire marshals felt that fire began in the garage and found it undetermined, but told us that they felt strongly that it was the vehicle. We contacted our insurance company with info we found online that stated the braking problem was being recalled. They stated that they had no information to pursue. Car was also a total loss. Is there anything more we can do to find out why this recall #06v149000 was never sent to us? Had we known we would have parked the vehicle away from our home!!!! And would have gladly taken it in for repair that was needed. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
1.the power steering on the car want let the steering wheeling turn some time it happen mostly in the morning time. 2. The front suspension keep wearing out tires very quilty I had the front end line more than one but that don"t help 3.the brakes want hold some time when I go to stop real fast I have to pump them more than once the brake have been change I need to know if there something wrong this parts. Also when I first bought the car the brakes gave out and the chrysler head brake staff group came to look at it.
Vehicle will not shift into gear from park. No warning lights are illuminated on the dashboard, there is nothing indicating there is any issue. Pressing the brake does not seem to unlock the shift lock mechanism that would allow me to shift into gear. Contacted chrysler group and was informed that although there have been recalls for the same problem in other model years, the 2006 model year is not currently covered.
The car engine stopped and the brakes, the steering wheel did not work, and almost caused an accident.it happened several times when I turn the car to the left, then it dies in the middle of the curve, especially after filling the gas tank completely.
I purchased the used car on july 20,2013 from car center in waldorf, md. One week of driving the car I had to fill the gas tank up. Once I started to drive it the car began to stumble and shut off on me while I was driving. I immediately called car center and I was given a loaner car 08/01/13 and the car was supposedly taken to waldorf ford and dodge to have it looked at. I called the waldorf ford and dodge to discuss my car. They told me the only thing they did was cut a new key for the car, which I had them fax me the receipt of the work done. My car shut off another 2 times while I was driving, just after fueling. When I personally dropped the car off at waldorf jeep and chrysler dealership the technician told me that I'm not the first one to complain about my car shutting of while driving, just after filling up my gas tank. I asked him was there a recall on the car that was not done. He said they're investigating it. I asked him what do I do in the meantime, his [xxx] answer just don't fill it all the way up. On 04/16/14, my car stalled in the middle of a busy highway while I had the green light to cross it. We were almost side swiped by another vehicle because they're light turned green and I couldn't get the car started in time to get out of the way. I no longer feel that this is "safe" to drive but yet I'm still stuck with these payments! Please help I love the car but want something that is safe to drive.

The car was filled up with fuel and no more than 2-5 miles from the gas station while driving the engine cut off with no warning while in traffic. Was able to restart the engine and continue on and within a mile it stalled out again in traffic. This time the car would not start. The car was pushed to the side of the road. The oil pressure light was also coming on so did not want to push the car and cause further damage. After 45 mins I restarted the car fine and was able to drive 1 mile before it stalled out at a stop sign. Again no warning and the car lost all power and you were unable to stop the car easily or turn the wheel since all power was lost. The oil pressure light did come on again but did not occur until after the car engine cut off and all power was lost. This time I checked the oil and the level was fine but I still added an extra quart of oil. Then within 5 mins I was able to start the car and drive it the rest of the way 1-2 miles to the dealership. Upon arriving at the dealership we checked the error coded. The dealership than changed the oil and did a full inspection and drive of the car and was unable to reproduce the issue I was seeing before going to the dealership.
2006 chrysler 300. Consumer writes in regards to rear brake tubes recall notice. *smd the consumer stated the rear brake system was inspected a few years ago, and no problem was found. In august of 2013, the brakes failed. However, the consumer was charged and is now seeking reimbursement due to the recall.
After fueling vehicle, car stalls several times shortly after leaving gas station. Must stop, turn car off, then back on each time. After driving around 3-4 miles, problem dissipates. Always fill car on slowest setting on nozzle and remove when clicks off ( never overfill). This is very unsafe.
Car stalls out when driving for no reason no warning signs or anything loss of all power no brakes working or steering wheel almost crashed brakes get hard and steering unable to use.
About three yrs ago went for oil change found out my was cracked had to replace axle and steering asked if it was a recall they said no.. Now 2013 I park the car and the car wont shift from park called chrysler no recall notice there's been many cases of shifting gear not able to shift or falling off shift when park.. My auto will not shift from park this a defect I feel chrysler should have this problem fix and put as a recall.
5 speed auto transmission was stuck in park in my driveway one morning when I got in the car. I called orr chrysler dodge and came and got it and charged me $364 + to repair the problem. This is a common problem with these vehicles. I read about it on the internet. Long before having the problem. Why is chrysler not recalling this problem. This is terrible service. I have been a chrysler person my entire life but this is and bad rotors at 15,000 miles have caused me to rethink the whole thing.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the technicians could not identify the cause of the failure. However the dealer would always resurface the brakes and turn the rotors. A certified mechanic finally concluded that the caliper was grabbing the wheels, and that the rotors did not have to be turned.

The failure mileage was 40,000 to 45,0000.

Brake rotors became warped about 17000 miles then got worse and worse. I replaced the tires at about 30,000 and had the pads checked. The pads were ceramic type and had zero wear. The rotors are a problem. My 05 dodge 4x4 has the same problem and it only has 23000 miles. Chrysler is buying bad rotors!!!!!!

I took my car to the dealer to find out why I had these big grooves in my rotors and a grinding noise and they have 2 bulletins out on the brake problem but would not fix them due to car being past 12,000 miles. These brakes could be faulty the vehicle is a 300 srt /I took it to a brake specialist and they told me they were defective and now the dealer wont fix them because the car has 16,000 miles on it. These cars brakes could lead to safety problems if not recalled.
Dt*: the contact stated while applying brake pressure at 30 MPH on a wet road, there was an increased stopping distance and a loss of vehicle control without warning. The vehicle left the roadway and descended down an embankment. No injuries were sustained, but the vehicle sustained minor damage. The police were alerted, and a report was taken. The vehicle was towed to a dealer who was unable to duplicate the problem. Additionally, there was a the federal safety agency recall; #06v149000 performed on the vehicle concerning the brakes however, the recall did not remedy the problem. The decreased braking force and increased stopping distance continued to persist. The manufacturer was alerted.
We purchased a chrysler 300c on 9/05/2006. On 9/6/06 I accidentally touched the parking brake & the light came on. I checked my manual & attempted to release the brake by pressing down as hard as I could,then pulling the brake release. The light remained on. According to the manual, this indicated a brake problem so I contacted the dealership. On 9/8/06 I took it in to the service dept.who said to press all the way to the floor, release the brake & lightly lift up on the foot brake. On 9/10/06 I again touched the brake causing the light to come on.on 9/11/06 I took it in to the service dept. & spoke to them & the general manager. Both gentlemen agreed it should be corrected, but they are not able to fix a manufacturing defect. So I called the chrysler corp. Customer center. The man told me it is not a defect just because I am not able to press the pedal all the way to the floor any more than it is a defect if I am unable to open a door! I am not a 100 pound woman ! I tried with both feet, got out & tried with my hand. He told me if the light remains on & something happens to the brakes that I am unaware of and causes an accident, that I will be responsible. This is not acceptable.
Brake pads scoring rotors pads replaced nothing done about the grooved rotors.
Serious brakes and rotor failure.
Bought chrysler 300 srt8 late august 2005. Complained about brake squeal and dust/excessive brake dust. Took car in for warranty service with 17,000 miles. Only to be advised that there was a technical service bulletin issued, but if car not brought in before 12,000 miles/12 months the repair will be approx. $865 for brake pads and resurfacing rotors. I am unable to find tech bulletin referred to.
2006 chrysler 300 touring, loud noise from brake pedal, dealer found return spring improperly installed from factory. Repair did not correct the problem. Recall repair on transmission did not fix the problem. Front brakes pull when applied at any speed. The car has a loud/hard engine idle.
Wife drives 2006 chrysler 300srt-8 normal driver no speeding, no hard braking, car just has 10,000 miles bought it last year. The rotors are already worn and the brakes have worn out more than of usual wear. There is no reason for this wear to be at this time.
Front rotors show excessive groove and dust. Car only have 2,500 miles on it.
On june 24, 2005, I purchased a new 2006 chrysler 300c srt8. I currently have 1972 miles on my vehicle. I have been having a problem with the braking performance of my vehicle that has not been resolved after several repair attempts. The vehicle was purchased for the purpose of enjoyment and my expectations are not being met. Upon application of the brakes, my vehicle makes a very loud squeaking sound that lessens the value of the vehicle and the implied comfort that a reasonable person should expect from his/her vehicle. In accordance with my service manual, on numerous occasions, I have promptly taken the vehicle to the local chrysler service department and requested that the situation be corrected. My requests for correction have not been met. The service dealer has informed me that they are aware of the problem but have not done anything to correct it. They have stated that the rotors may be too small and need to be changed.
