My 2006 chyrsler 300 has ductwork problems. The heat will not go off! Also the seat warmers are very warm even when they suppose to be off. It's like sitting in a fire while driving. This has to be unsafe. Call dealer marty cancillas and service technician is aware of issue but wants to charge a $139 diagnostic fee to tell me what he already knows to be wrong. He said it was the ductwork or modor motor or some component of the ductwork in dashboard area. Please investigate.

Our chrysler 300 stalls while driving. Engine light is on, but when taken to service, the dealer says nothing is wrong with it. This stalling is dangerous! Stalling at a red light and while driving is something that chrysler should recall. There are other complaints on this website about this.

Check engine light has appeared on an average of 1 time per month since purchase of the vehicle 8/4/07. Repeated visits to dealership gegnas chrysler in philadelphia pa has not corrected issue to date. Upon connection to diagnostic machinery various failure codes have appeared with one in common p0300 that relates specifically to multiple cylinder misfire or rough idle. This apparently is due to valves that are slow to close due to a build up of carbon on the valve system . Two chrysler dealerships (brandywine chrysler and gegnas claim to have performed this tsb each and it took less than a day to do. I have received a qualified second opinion from midas muffler that has informed me that this is not a one day job as it required removal of the manifold and cleaning and possible rotation of valves and servicing of valve springs. I have all receipts documenting the 11 returns of the vehicle to the dealership and will gladly provide them upon request. 1-800-my lemon has been sent this information as the check engine light again reappeared 3/30/09 and after asking to assist me with the car due to loss of power (they are close to my home) they provided written documentation of the code that was found and assisted me with transferring my car to dealership where no action was taken because the check engine light was not lit despite being handed the service bulletin physically by me that day. The owner stated "he needed to see the light lit- a big game that has been going on for over a year now! The check engine light reappeared 4/5/09 and I spoke with the owner of the dealership again 4/6 and arranged to bring the car back. This morning 4/8 the light is out again. Two sensors have been replaced out of four on the car sensor (1/1 and b2/s2), the pcn has been reset, valve spring retainer locks have been replaced , all spark plugs have been changed out, air filter changed, map sensor replaced, fuel system cleaned, egr valve replaced. What else is left to re left!
My vehicle would stalls intermittently and would cease to operate. Extremely dangerous, the last time it happened I got stuck in the middle of an intersection. I have taken it to the dealer for this same problem twice and both times they advise me they cannot find anything wrong with my vehicle. I have read multiple complaints about this problem but apparently chrysler refuses to look into it.

Stared idling rough and at lower rpms. Dealer said on two occasions it was the fuel type I was using. Was never informed of this either during the sale or in writing (I.e. Vehicle manuals). The third trip to the dealer I was informed they needed to disassemble to top half of the engine and rebuild it.
2006 chrysler 300 customer states that the car has turned off three times while driving in the last couple months after several trips to the dealership the problem still occurring*
At cold start, for fifteen to twenty seconds, engine revs from 500 to 1500 rpms, several times and almost cuts out. 1st visit: sensors checked at dealership; 2nd visit: throttle body replaced; 3rd visit: computer reprogrammed; 4th visit: map sensor replaced. Problem still persists. We are getting really irritated.
Since I purchased my 2006 chrysler 300 touring the idle has been very rough and you hear a moaning sound coming from the engine.
I have a 2006 chrysler 300, my engine started knocking, I had my vehicle towed to the nearest dealership were they informed me that I have sludge in my engine and there is nothing else that could be done until I provide maintenance record, the blame was placed on me, the consumer. I was told that I neglected my new vehicle that I owe 32k on. How crazy is that. The car was 10 months old at the time I took it to the dealer for repair and also had a oil change the day of my car being towed to the dealer for repair. My car gears are not shifting properly, and my engine at 21,000 miles should not be sludged even after the oil changes were done on the vehicle. Chrysler along with the dealership refuse to repair my car and the recall. They told me since I was unable to provide documentation of my oil changes that my repair is not covered under the manufactures warranty. I advised chrysler that surely they would understand that if I have 3500.00 wheel on my car that surely they would know spending under 25.00 for an oil change is not a big deal. I have the 2.7l engine that is known for sludged engines and catastrophic engine failures. I plan to rent a bill board on one of the major highways in my area to advise consumers beware of the 2.7 liter engines. I plan to use the local media, newspaper and picket the chrysler plant and dealership in my area. I was told to come pick up my vehicle after they have had my car for over a month because I will start being billed for storage charges. I advised him that I refuse to pick up that vehicle until the repairs and recall has been done. The car is consider a safety hazard and still shows an incomplete recall.
This new car was purchased by me in 01/06 and the problem became apparent within the first 30 days. Dealer told me that nothing can be done unless a trouble light came on. V6 engine. At idle the engine misses and the care loses continuously while at idle.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving, the vehicle stalled. This occurred on three occasion, without warning and at various speeds. The first time the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was determined the software needed updated. The second time the vehicle was driven to the dealer where the fuel pump was replaced. The third time the vehicle was towed to the dealer where the problem could not be duplicated.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 10 MPH the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to be driven off the road and upon restarting the dash lights illuminate. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the crankshaft position sensor was replaced. A month later the problem recurred. Again, the vehicle was towed to the dealer and the crankshaft sensor was replaced. Updated 6/16/2006 -
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.
There's a miss in the engine when driving at level or steady speed ...doesn't matter how fast or how slow.. Gear shifter is hanging up and hard to get out of park to drive... Gas mileage is a lot less than rated...
