When fuel tank is filled beyond 3/4 of a tank the engine stalls. I've been in many scary situations where this happened. I bought a new car because I was scared to drive this one. Upon learning there was an issue I contacted my local dealer who said a new fuel tank would be ordered and I would be contacted the next week to have it installed. 2 weeks later I contacted them and was told they had to diagnose the problem. After discussing the issue the dealer assured the tank was being ordered. Hopefully the problem will be fixed with the replacement tank - it remains to be seen. Why is this not a recall? It is a safety issue when a car stalls while being driven. Age of the vehicle should not be a factor - this car only has 66,000 miles. I am the original owner
2006 Chrysler 300C engine complaints
Page 2 of 10: complaints 11 to 40 of 276, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Just turned 200k miles well maintained car. #7 lifter stuck with a bang. Eng light came on with codes. This is a known issue for this build. Car can be turned over to manufacture for investigational and safety to see their engineering from 2006 mds systems. Longevity research
My Car broke down in a parking lot (drove there completely fine and the heat gauge didn't read the car was overheating). I got my car towed to bryants automotive in Redding CA. The cars upper radiator hose fell off causing my engine to overheat. 0 check engine light, 0 codes shown. I was quoted 10k, and I am basically screwed because I dont have that kind of money. Very disappointing and I would like an investigation into this issue.
The contact owned a 2006 Chrysler 300. The contact was driving at 60 mph was coming from the engine compartment. The contact was able to pull over when the vehicle caught on fire. The contact sustained an infection in her chest and sought out medical assistance. The fire marshals were called and the vehicle was extinguished and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the sheriff's department, where it was determined to be destroyed. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with, the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 06V149000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) however the VIN was not included.

While driving car randomley has m0mentary loss of power. There is a bell sound and then the car restarts, but it drops out of cruise control and sometimes has check engine light, or other dash lights. Usually lights clear upon restart. This has happened from nov 2019 to present.
My 2006 chrysler 300c stalls at stop lights. Going 30 miles and higher the tac will drop to zero and with in seconds the car will jerk and it's running again. When the car dies all the dash lights flash off and on, the check engine light, the lighting bolt, all of them and when it's done doing this. The check engine isn't on. So you can't get a code to read. Dec. 28 2020 my wife went to the store and she had our grand daughter in the car. She went to make a left into the shopping center when the car died. The on coming car had to serve to keep from hitting her. I've been to the dealer and they can't figure it out. Been to three mechcanics and they can't figure out the problem. If you go to any chrysler 300c forums, there are a lot of people having the same problem. They have the same answer dealers and mechcanics don't know what the problem is. Car complaints has 45 complaints alone. This is very serious. If it hasn't happened yet, it will. This problem is going to get someone killed or hurt real bad.
After filling the car with gas, the car starts without any issues and drives off without any problems. As the car slows down whether stopping or turning the car will shut off. In the middle of a turn the car veers into the other lane because there is no power steering. The car has to stopped before it can be restarted. Also if you are entering the interstate after refilling with fuel, the vehicle will reach the desired speed without any problems to merge into traffic, after merging into traffic as soon the desired speed is reach and the motor slows, the car motor will shut off in traffic. This scenario will continue until some gas is burned out of the gas tank. Afterwards the cars runs fine. I took the car to the chrysler dealership several times and they could not find anything wrong. They did not charge me for the inspection because they could find anything wrong.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while reversing, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was taken to bud clary auburn chrysler dodge jeep ram (2925 auburn way n, auburn, wa 98002) where the contact was informed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 155,000.
I was driving at 70mph 2:30 am on the highway at night right before a curve the headlights shut off due to the main computer 'tpim'.in essence it kills all auto features immediately including the headlights. It's a common problem with these cars just look on some of the forms online. I'm upset because my wife could have been driving the car at the time. Chrysler should be held accountable sense it's an issue with this car in general. They also have issues with the lifters due to the poor quality of the lifters rollers and the mds system.
Car continuously dies or stalls while driving. My wife has also been almost rear ended or hit multiple times due to this issue. Because the car will die while making a turn or at a stop light. The car will also cut out while driving on the freeway at 75 MPH. The car will sometimes die and will not re-start leaving her stuck in traffic. I have taken the vehicle multiple times to the dealership as well as other mechanics and they keep telling me its the PCM which has been replace three times.
The chrysler start with no problem drive around stop park and get out the car. Return in a minute no crank start wait 15 or 20 minute the car will start. This problem accured 2 or 3 times a day after I park. Fuses ok, new starter, new battery, new tranmission nothing display on dishbroad or diagnostic machine several machanic unable to determent the problem no reading the car is ok but car contiue not to crank start I only have less than 50,000 miles after I was told that I needed a new transmission from a bronx new york dealership?
The car has a ticking noise from under the engine and it won't go above 25mph. The car also shuts off if it's idoling after being driven.
The frontend has death wobble going on the highway more than 65mph I've had the whole front end replaced without solving the problem, the motor also was replaced due to one of the cylinder going right threw the motor and it happened again after motor over heated a year later
2006 chrysler 300c. Consumer writes in regards to engine failure. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle was firmly locked in park. The vehicle was repaired.
I have had constant issues with the control arms, tie rods, and the door handles are all broken. I had to replace my radiator twice now. I love my car, but I am highly disappointed with the costs that I have had with this car. The radiator issues have come while the car was in motion. My engine died without warning while I was driving. I never had any warnings prior to the motor blowing. I have regular maintenance done to my car, but a new engine, 2 radiators, tie rods, and control arm repairs/changes seem to be the continuum for my car. The door handles are cosmetic and have not been repaired. I have records from my dealership and another place I entrust with my vehicle.
I was picking my son up from school, when I try to start the car. The car wouldn't kick over, the engine was shaking and running extremely rough once I did get it started, to make a long story short, a valve went through the engine block causing total engine failure. A new engine block was needed (jaspers) at the cost of over $6000. I contacted chryslers cooperate office, and was told that there's no recall on the engine, and being that the warranty expired there was nothing they can do, I was just stuck with a useless car with a blown engine. I think that this is so pitiful for a multi billion dollar company to stick all of these chrysler/dodge owners with vehicles with known engine problems!. Just look on this site, or just google chrysler 300/c & dodge engine problems, you'll find 100's, if not 1000's of chrysler/dodge owners with the same type of engine failure. Shame on chrysler!. I know that putting a recall on all of these engines would be a very costly thing to do, however it's the right thing to do!....shame on chrysler!. I would never buy a dodge/chrysler vehicle again!....
Car has low idle approx 500rpm should be at least 700 stalls when in gear at a red light. Potential safety problem if it stalls when light turns green could get rear ended. 1000's of complaints of this on internet. Chrysler has known this problem for 10 yrs with this hemi 5.7 motor with no idle adjustment possible. Idle is computer controlled and dearership can not adjust it. Very simple very cheap fix. A computer patch to allow dealership to adjust idle. Dealership says there is no fix for problem. Told to clean throttle body I did idle went down. Dangerous and stupid on chrysler part very poor and dangerous cust serv.

I fill my car up at gas station and while driving my car will completely cut off out of nowhere
2006 chrystler 300c 5.7l hemi will randomly die when sitting idle, and while in mid drive. This happens on a highway at 75mph or in town at 30mph or at a stop light 0mph. This is very dangerous to everyone in and outside of the vehicle. The engine will stall causing it either a.)die or b.) lunge forward and possibly hit another vehicle.
As I'm driving my car it will shut off/ stall in the middle of traffic.does not matter if I stop at a red light/ stop sign, driving fast/ slow, highway/ street, turning a corner/ parking the car will turn off. After taking it to 2 different shops and the dealer. No one can find the problem. It is still unknown. I'm scared to drive it but I have to work.

It dropped the #7 valve seat and never overheated. The vehicle ran fine, until I got back in the next day and started it. It immediately happened at that time. This is a common problem with this engine, and to fix costs upwards of $8000.
I was driving on freeway and all of a sudden the engine completely shut off losing all power. I was almost rear-ended as I drift to the side of the road. I turned key to off position and turned back on and it started. Then as I was driving again the engine started lurching and stuttering and the engine shut off then turned back on. This happened 4 more times. This morning on my way to work it did it again turned off on freeway almost causing an accident at 70 MPH. I see online there are many complaints of same issue. I called the chryselr dealer and they would not even listen to the issue but offered a $1800 fix, same fix that is recorded online that doesnt work
My car will stall at any time. On the freeway and in town. It has no warnings. I have been almost rear ended honked and stuck in a traffic jams. I am scared to drive it anywhere. Its had new gas tank, new computer, throttle sensor egr valve and has no codes to go by to fix it. Its been at the dealership where I bought it and they keep wanting more money to try and fix it while just guessing. Different mechanics have driven it home and it stalls on them but they still can't figure it out. Its been at the dealership for almost 2 weeks.
My 300c 2006 engine shuts off. Sitting at a light or driving. Dealer had it, spent 1800.00. They did not fix. Have it at a garage. They have replaced most sensors. Just spent 390 dollars on a new controller board (brain) its now more frequent. Started happening 2 years ago but not this frequent. Did a coolant flush, transmission flush,
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving various speeds or while parked, the vehicle stalled and the interior and exterior lighting flickered without warning. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The contact took the vehicle to zimmer chrysler dodge jeep ram (1086 burlington pike, florence, ky 41042 (859) 525-1344) to be serviced for the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 16v352000 (air bags) and 15v313000 (air bags) and notified them of the failures. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 102,373.
Car overheated and I shut it off. Tried to start it after it cooled down and it would not start. Checked cylinders for compression and found 6 with o compression so seems to be a valve seat failure.
I was getting off work. Stopped by my barbershop to get a haircut, than planned on heading home. But I received a phone call from my wife to pick up a few things before I got home. I was in the store for about 15 minutes. The was running great. No over heating issue or nothing. Temp gauge was at it normal operation temp. I'm out of the store in the car trying to start it up. But getting nothing. But when it does start I hear alot of engine noise. So I shut it down and have it towed to my home. Had a friend of mines who works on cars come check it out. Than he tells me I need a new motor due to valve seat had dropped.
