Since last march my chrysler 300c srt8 2006 is turning off the engine while in movement. I noticed the problem always happen when the fuel tank is full or around 3/4. It's a very serious problem because I almost crashed the car many times considering that when the engine turns off the steering gets heavy and the brakes doesn't work properly. Now I'm not confident to put my family in the car because I am afraid to have a collision and hurt myself and my family. I made a research at the internet and I realized that a lot of 300c owners have the same problem that it's called as engine stall. Now I want chrysler to help me to solve this matter considering it already happened several times and it's very dangerous to drive the car with this defective.
2006 Chrysler 300C brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Started to stall on a trip to la. In jan. 2014,stalls after every refill.usually stalled turning on to entry ramp or on entry ramp of interstate.no power steering or power brakes .throw into neutral restart,power steering then kicks in throwing me all over the entrance ramp. Stalls after every refill,I bought this car for trips thats why the mileage is so low,now I'm afraid to drive it for the purpose I bought it. I'm a chrysler retiree! Totally unsafe for my purposes.
After filling the car a chrysler 300c stalls. This is now an ongoing problem as the car now stalls after fueling. The stall occurs mostly when stopped at a red-light or driving at a low rate of speed. It has now progressed to include when accelerating onto a interstate.the stall causes all safety systems to fail ie. Breaks, steering, et. I have called the local dealership and the chrysler hotline 800‑992‑1997 and was informed that the federal safety agency, chrysler will extend fuel-tank warranties does not apply to 2006 chrysler 300c models. I was told the malfunctioning shut-off float and gas tank neck splash issue is not covered.
I pulled out of the gas station after topping the tank off with gas. At the first red light the vehicle stalled. It stalled again at the second red light. After I got on the highway, the vehicle ran fine again.
Right after gassing up, my car stalled at a red light. Restart, stall again while rolling (losing power steering and power brakes.) restart and drive with heavy throttle to next red light, where car stalled again. Restart, go, then another stall when car behind me honks. Dangerous stalling in intersection. Problem remained until gas tank went down about 2 gallons from full. Problem continues to date, I cannot fill the gas tank.
I was turning right at a stop light, immediately following a gas tank fill, when the engine stalled and power steering and brakes failed. The engine continued to stall during deceleration or when stopped for the next 30 miles.
After refueling tank I drove away from the pumps and onto the roadway, during acceleration to speed limit (50mph), at 25mph the engine stalled, with traffic quickly approaching I might add, and left me coasting. I was able to pull off to the side of the road thankfully, at which time I had to attempt a restart 3 times before it did start, when it started I had no issues for a few months. This exact situation happened to me every other month for a year until I learned to not fuel the vehicle to the top. It is a considerable inconvenience to not be able to fill the car to its capacity, especially on long trips. I am just afraid that this will happen, at any time, with no warning, quite an uncomfortable feeling actually. I hope for a satisfactory resolution to this issue. Thank you.
Transmission shifter interlock lever is faulty. A broken interlock return spring hook will result in the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the ?park? Position. Chrysler issued letter to some customers. Here the link to the letter : http://www.chrysler.com/webselfservice/pdf/k39.pdf problem is they issued a recommend free repairs to some owners that might have a problem for there 2006 300c car but why cant they offer free repairs to everyone with same model cars and have the same problem. Also when you go to the dealership to buy the part to repair, you are put on a waiting list because the parts not in stock because of all the people that need to get there cars work on. My car was not able to shift and was stuck in park 2 hours waiting for a tow truck that can tow my car home. The dealership employee are aware of the problem, also the fact that some people are covered for repairs and other people with the same model with damages are not covered just doesn't make any sense.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c srt-8. The contact stated that when depressing the brakes, there was an intermittent squeal. The noise could be heard after driving the vehicle for approximately 15-20 minutes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times where the brakes pads and rotors were replaced but to no avail. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 262 and the current mileage was 10,387.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the contact heard an extremely loud squealing noise when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but no brake failure was identified. Recently, the vehicle was taken to the dealer again for the same noise; however, no failure could be found. The contact was very discouraged and embarrassed about the loud, annoying squealing noise. She stated that there was no resolution for the brake noise, which was frustrating and an inconvenience to have to continuously take the vehicle to the dealer. The current mileage was 25,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.
Within the first 300 miles the inside of all four brake rotors started to show premature scoring and grooves also a grinding noise and brake pedal pulsing would occur when the brakes would be applied. It has gotten a lot worse and there is less then 3,000 miles on the car. In spite of a chrysler service bulletin #05-006-06 titled "front and/or rear brake rotors grooved/scored" chrysler motors service would not do any thing except turn my rotors on a lathe at a cost to me of $200.00 dollars. I was informed by chrysler motors service that my problem would re-occur in a short period of time and it is a common problem with all chrysler 300c srt-8, dodge charger srt-8 and dodge magnum srt-8 and jeep grand cherokee srt-8. All of these vehicles are equipped with "brembo" brakes. There is definitely some sort of a defect with this brake system. A search on line shows that there are hundreds of owners of the chrysler 300c srt-8 with the same exact brake problem.
