While driving vehicle will suddenly stall and cut out making it really dangerous on the freeway the car will just shut down and you have to put it in neutral and started all over again now it stalls even in drive sitting at traffic light.
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.
I purchased my vehicle used 2 weeks ago. Initially the vehicle was running fine until I filled it up with fuel. As soon as I pulled out of the gas station my vehicle started stalling as if I was losing power to my vehicle. After a few miles the stalling stopped. In the past few weeks the stalling has become worse every time I pump fuel. It shuts off if I'm idle at a light, it shuts off when I'm attempting to park, turn left, or in a drive thru. As soon as I would crank my vehicle up and go to accelerate the car won't move until after a few seconds and then it just jerks out before a smooth drive. Yesterday I took it to a chrysler dealership because after informing the used car sales lot where I purchased the vehicle they couldn't find the issue and wanted to keep my car for a week. After 10 hours of trying to find the issue they stated there had been a recall on the fuel tank for 2006 chrysler 300s. He said that should fix the problem and I should be on my way. So I was relieved to hear the great news coming from the chrysler dealership. Well after heading home and 20 miles out from the dealership there goes the stalling again last night. My vehicle shut off at the light and again as soon as I attempted to park my vehicle in the driveway. In addition to the fuel system issue is causing another issue that I truly fee wasn't investigated thoroughly. I noticed a recall on 2006 chrysler pacifica where the stalling was caused by the fuel system, TCM, and PCM module basically dealing with the power train and this is very highly the same issue going on with 2006 chrysler 300. There should've been a recall on both and there isn't. This is very dangerous as when I stalled onto the freeway I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler truck on last week. The TCM and PCM codes along with the fuel system code were showing in the diagnostic issue yesterday. Help please

Transmission stuck in park. Chrysler has known about the defect for years put us in danger. Car left us stranded.
I went to use my car and I could not get it out of park. The shift lever would not come out of park. I check on the internet and found out the pink plastic part inside the shift base has a small plastic hook the brakes off and the spring come off in side and you can not get your out of park. I had to go to the chrysler dealer ship and ask them about this problem and the guy said that chrysler was aware of the problem but was not doing a recall on the problem. So I had to buy the part and fix it my self. My car was down for 2 days. I could not have it towed to the dealer because it would not come out of park to get it on the tow truck.

I own a 2006 chrysler 300. When the ignition is turned to the on position, the vehicle fails to shift out of the park position. The failure has recurred again continuously. I replaced it once already, two years ago. Cost came out of my pocket. It was very expensive. After two years it is happening again. I am also having a problem with my turn signal bar on my stearing wheel. When I turn on the turn signal (no matter left or right), after I turn, the turn signal goes off but then I hear a loud click and the opposite one comes on. I called the dealer to make an appointment (I called the same dealer in bartow fl. That repaired it the first time and whom do all my oil changes etc) for these 2 issues and was told they are running behind and an appointment was given for 2 weeks away. Once again, more out of pocket expense. I am being charged $150 just for them to check out the problems I am having. Can someone please look into this to see if a recal can apply to this problem that im having for the 2nd time? Once again, out of pocket for this repair is very expensive and I may not be able to pay for it this time due to I am unemployed now. Please help!
