Changed battery and alternator. Today 5/11/15, while driving I put A/C on and car shut off. Got car home and analyzed problem. While engine is running car idles low then shuts off. However when A/C is on or off car shuts off. Any recalls? Very frustrated!

Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Filled up at costco and immediately after leaving the car stalled, restarted and stalled five more times in three miles. The stalling does create a dangerous driving situation.
It began when I started pumping gas after it reach like 10 gallons of fuel the clicker will stop as if it was full tank already but still needed a long way to fill up so I automatically began to pump gas and it kept clicking and clicking it didn't want to keep pumping so I stop as I began driving the car began to pulled it self hard like if it was running out of gas check engine and the esp bas light when on started to smell like gas got me worried when on it kept doing it so I took it in to the dealer and they told me it was the egr valve ,thermostat and spark plugs needed to be repair I asked if their was a recall because I have received a later stating that something that's has to do with the gas tank,he looked it up and he said no. I did the labor that needed to be done to car it was ok for couple hrs then it began to do the same thing lunging then car stalled try to restarted it wouldn't go on waited couple mins tried again and it wouldn't start gave it a lil longer time then try to turn it on again and it finally started after multiple times I really need to fix it I find it dangerous..
Tl* the contact owned a 2005 chrysler 300c. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the entire instrument panel failed and the contact smelled a strong burning odor inside the vehicle. The contact pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and noticed smoke and large flames coming from the trunk. The fuel tank exploded and the vehicle became engulfed in flames. There were no injuries. The fire department extinguished the fire. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 134,646.
Late 2004 when I first bought car new went to pick up car horn did not work ,repaired under warranty always hard to push on steering wheel never was right, to date horn does not work 6/16/2014.
Driving at night on a rural divided highway at approx 65mph all external lights go out. All dash, navigation, and warning lights turn on full brightness. Could not see outside. Had to come to an immediate stop. Restarted vehicle and lights operated normally. Has happened several times since. Seems to happen often more when cold outside.
Lighting problems.
I was driving to work and the lights turn off and turn back on. This has occur on many times. I return the vehicle to the dealer and they suppose to had the ecu. That work for a couple of months. I return to the dealer on several times and they has continues to tell me they can't find no problem. Now I am having problems with my nav system and the radio lightning.
I had just completed a fuel fill-up and upon driving away from the pump the engine died, losing all power. With 3-4 attempted restarts the car moved for short distances and repeatedly died. When it did restart, the engine would not engage in drive. Eventually, the car would run normally and would continue to run until the next fill up. The latest incident (after 3 incidents) occurred feb 4, 2014. After my mechanic was able to duplicate the incident on feb 7 and discovered that this problem has occurred multiple times to other vehicles. Chrysler corp should have issued a recall in my opinion.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c.the contact stated that after refueling to capacity, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, the battery exploded on a separate occasion. The failures occurred without any warning. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 38,200.
Was in my father's '05 chrysler 300c, stopped at a red light. Engine shut itself off, steering column locked, and the oil pressure light came on. I turned the vehicle off and turned it back on again, and it continued to work fine. Upon searching the internet for causes to this problem, I quickly found that this is a very common problem. Lots of people have had their 300 stall on them, and apparently the computer in the car does not have a record of the system fail, or the warning lights on the dashboard coming on. The repairs appear to be in the $1200 - $2000 range. Seems like something chrysler should make their dealers fix for free, seeing as it is very clearly a manufacturer's error. Having learned of the treatment chrysler's customers receive, I will be sure not to bring my money to them when I need a car of my own.
I am an auto tech at dealership in ks. After 3 repeated incidents, I decided to take action. On either side of the front bumper the fog lights get hot and eventually detach from the lens. The 2nd and 3rd time I have noticed scorching on the vehicle's front bumper where the bulbs started to melt the material. The 4th vehicle caught fire to the bumper and it spread to the engine. This could have been worse without anybody attending the vehicle and more in a house garage. It did not take very long to melt and ignite.
