Engine stalls after fuel fill up.
I bought my car in august 2006 and in october 2006, I had engine lights problems from that date. I took it to the dealership that I bought it at and they would not do anything. This is my fifth complaint and I just had it repaired this year after several other things.it was still under warranty when I first contacted your office. I spoke with someone and they told me that it was covered and to take it I for repair then I had to pay for it myself. That's really sad when you purchase and rely on the company to uphold their warranty agreement. He quit on me on the highway after the the water seal popped and the dealership informed me that it should have never happened and I wrote to you about that and you did not reimburse me.
2006 chrysler 300c srt8 6.1l stalls. Once normal idle temperature reaches 200 degrees, the car starts to rev up and down and eventually turns off. No codes. Replaced both camshaft and crankshaft sensor. This is annoying and dangerous because sometimes the car accelerates while on gear!! Or completely dies while driving. I had a minor (small bump) accident at a gas station. Idle started to fluctuate and at one point, the car jumped a bit, I hit the brakes but I came into minor contact with the car in from of us. Helps us to get this resolved.

The car will randomly shut off for no reason, sometimes while its parked idling and other times at highway speed. I've had two different dealers try and fix without success. I've spent over a $1000 dollars in "repairs" and still have the same problem.
The engine shuts off while I'm driving and in reverse. I can restart it with no problem as long as I immediately step on the gas peddle. I have to shift into neutral to keep the engine running while at a stop light & back to drive. When I turn the key I do not hear the fuel pump like I used too! I've had repairs costing$509.96 and still have the same problem! I think my fuel pump is not working correctly or about to stop working! Is there a recall for the fuel pump?
The throttle light comes on the ln at an intersection the car dies.start back up then idles very hard.gotten it checked out&there was oil on top the intake gaskets..I've done regularly mantience on the car so the shouldn't be able.now the car is just sitting in the drive way until I can afford a motor...ive looked on google&there are millions of people with the exact same problem so obviously its not the customer...ive called chrysler to see if the would reimburse me my money if I gotten a new one put in&basically they said no to a problem that is there fought

I first noticed surging at idle when in gear, this grew into stalling during stops and now is stalling/stumbling while driving. I've had multiple times where the car would completely stall while moving and had high potential for danger. I have no engine light and no engine codes. This car is an srt8 and driven very seldom, especially now. It's actually parked now due to this issue. The maintenance has always been meticulous and mechanics have come up dry with trying to figure this out.
After work I was driving home as usuall down a very busy main road with alot of traffic and light controlled intersections. I was about 25 min away from home when I was beginnign to make a lane change and excellerate over to the right lane. As I began to get over without a warning or notice my power steering went out and I was unable to turn my wheel without excessive force. As I continued to cost into the other lane and grab ahold of the steering I realized not only did this shut off but the engine did as well. I guided the car to the safest place I could (still in the middle of the intersection and put the car in park. Hundreds of cars drove by honking and swearing at me leaving me stuck in my vehicle as it was to unsafe to get out. After about 15 min of that streess a helpful older man helped push me to a safer part of the street until my boyfriend could get to me and have the car towed home. After a week and a half and close to 500 later I was called with the news that a cylindar collapsed causing my engine to fail. It would be a 7,000-9,000 repair at the least. The problem with this is that I still owe 13000 on this vehicle and it barely blue books at 10000. So why would I pay the money when I have never had an issue with this vehicle in the 3 years of owning it and had no warning or way to prevent it. I always took my car to a dealer to be maintenced and never missed an oil change so how could this be happening to me. Now I am stuck with a car in front of my house that doesnt work and had to purchase another vehicle in the mean time while I am dealing with trying to make chrylser responsible for this horrible situation. I have done massive research on this issue and learned that this year is already known for this issue and found over 200 compaints with people just like me who this happened to. Please help me to get this repair covered or my car purchased back.

Owner of chrysler 300 and have taken car in every 3,000 miles as instructed by service center at dealership where I bought it. It appears dealer was notified may 27, 2015 about air bag but never called to put me on alert . Took the car to the dealer once I got the recall notice and was told it would be 6 to 8 working days. Called on day 9 and it wasnt in. Told them I need the car for appointments and to go to work. Was told to call chrysler in detroit about that problem. I will call dealer once a week until fixed. In the past ive requested a check on the sun roof and they never got the person out to check it. Said it was expensive. Asked them to check trunk because when it rains or after car washes collapses and slams shut. I was told, theres nothing wrong with it. Has gotten me in the head twice. Im pulling service receipts to check other problems. Radio goes bing bing when I turn it on and continues for a while after the radio comes on. Answer from service dept: "never heard that before". Gps system won't work. Tried to use it and it sent a message: check the disc drive (words to that affect) tried to check disc drive and can't get it to open. Button is frozen. Tow truck driver was out to charge a battery in another car and heard the tick tick going on in the chrysler. He said take it in ... He lost an engine because he didn't. They fixed it once and told me I got it in just in time. It's ticking again. Car appears to be in a total state of failure. Fix its: plug adapter 7-19-13; lever shift kit (car won't come of park) 7/19/13; adj tire pressure rating - $10 for technician 1/26/13; replace right head - rocker arm inlet and exhaust 12/21/11; $640 for 30,000 mile checkup and flushed engine; never once told me there were major problems. 66,254 miles.
