What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300. While driving at a low speed after refueling, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. All the warning lights on the instrument cluster illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the fuel tank, fuel delivery pump, and pump injection pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,508.
Car cut off in the middle of the road would not start. Changed the alternator and charged the battery it ran for a day and cut off again. All the warning lights came on and the wipers would not go down,the horn wouldn't work,and the blinkers or radio wouldn't work. Took to the dealer and 4 sensors to the computer module went bad. Car had to be towed to the dealership for the diagnosis.
Tl* the contact owns 2006 chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH, all of the lights on the instrument panel, headlights and brake lights shut off without warning. The failure recurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
While driving various speeds, all of the gauges on the instrument panel malfunctioned and all of the warning lights illuminated. This has been happening for several years. At first, it would happen and then nothing for a few months. It has begun to happen more frequently. It has occurred several times in the past few days.
While driving app 55 MPH at app 8pm at night my cars lights and all the dash lights went out and the car completely stalled. I was able to turn on flashers and coast the car to the side of the road. I sat there for several minutes and then the car restarted. Fortunately there was no one following behind me. I have been out of town on business and used a company car. Upon my return I took my car to our local shop today. They were unable to detect any problems, however shared an article stating more than 150,000 chrysler owners have had similar trouble. They contacted the nearest dodge/chrysler dealer in aberdeen washington who offered no help or information. They could give no reason for the incident. We have not received any recall notice, nor information regarding any possible problems. How should I proceed? I am unable to drive my vehicle for fear this may happen again, and this time I may not be so fortunate. This has created a significant burden and stress. It seems someone should be accountable and that there is a significant liability by not being notified of this significant safety issue. Is this an issue I need my attorney to address? Thanks in advance for your help. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While driving, all the warning lights come on and flash for a few seconds. Sometimes the speedometer goes to zero. This has been happening a few times a month for the past two+ years.I see that others are having the same problem. Http://www.carcomplaints.com/chrysler/300c/2006/electrical/flashing_warning_lights_loss_of_electrical_power.shtml why is there no recall on this?
All equipment on the dashboard shut down for about 2 minutes. Even though I know I was going somewhere around 55 MPH, and trying to stay with traffic, I could not tell my speed, the RPM read zero, the gas level read empty, and my speed read zero. Then all the dashboard lights came on and all was normal again. This repeated maybe 4-5 times in a row. Off for about 2 minutes, on for maybe a minute, then back off. We have experienced all of this happening momentarily (maybe lasting a second) since we bought the car used 1 1/2 years ago. Dealership could not get it to happen for them, so they could do nothing for it. This issue has now escalated to a point that I feel it could be dangerous if it continues, or gets worse.
While driving, all the warning lights came on and flashed for about 2 seconds. This continued to happen about once a week, or sometimes 3x per day. Once, all the gauges went dead as well. Very distracting and unsettling while driving. My wife had a similar problem with her chrysler town and country van, and sears suggested she replace the battery. Her problem seems to have been solved. Mine continues to be a problem. The fresno chrysler dealer told me they have never heard of this problem, although there are multiple complaints of this discussed on the internet. Here are a few sites: http://www.300cforums.com/forums/srt8-specific-general-discussion/25584-indicator-warning-lights.html http://www.300cforumz.com/showthread.php?t=92854 http://www.carcomplaints.com/chrysler/300c/2006/electrical/flashing_warning_lights_loss_of_electrical_power.shtml they suggest replacing the entire wiring system and the computer, at a cost of $4200.00. Please check and see how many similar wiring harness failures/replacements have been made on 300s and if this is a common problem that needs to be investigated and recalled.thank you
