2007 Chrysler 300C engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 27 of 27, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving the vehicle, making a right-hand turn the vehicle stopped running, with no warnings on the dashboard. It just shut off. While attempting to pull out of the garage one morning the vehicle lost steering to the right side of the car. The car was taken to a reputable mechanic who kept it for two days and could not find anything wrong with the it. The vehicle has had numerous times when it de-accelerates while turning to the right. On a couple of occasions the car actually stopped. Each time the vehicle has been checked out I have been told that no problem registers and cannot be diagnosed unless they mechanic can get it to duplicate. Now, the car will not turn over. It drove fine, I got home parked it in the garage and was getting ready to leave again, got into the vehicle to start it up and it will not start. No messages on the dashboard. The lights turn on yet it will not turn over. At least this time when everything went haywire I was safely home and not on the street, or highway driving as I have been in the past. This has happened on numerous occasions.
Cooling fan broke and fractured the radiator. Found the attached customer service notification l08 which describes what happened to my vehicle. When I called the manufacturer they said my vehicle does not fall under it.
Drove my car to work in the morning with no problems. After work I started the car and could not shift the gear out of park. I tried several times, turning the car off and on etc. But it would not move. Called the repair shop. They came and removed the shifter assembly to get it to the shop and said they had to replace the entire shift assembly because a small plastic piece was broken inside and they couldn't just replace the piece, it had to be the entire assembly for the cost of $300.00. No warnings or other issues. After looking the problem up on the internet, seems to be a very common problem with this car make and model. I have also had trouble with this car several times just shutting down or almost shutting off (jerks like you are hit and seems like it is shutting down but then returns to normal) while sitting at a light or a stop sign. Usually it will start back up quickly but it is very dangerous in traffic and I have almost been rear ended 2 times because of it. I took it to the dealership 2 different times complaining about this issue, but they said they couldn't find anything wrong and that the computer system didn't show any problems.
Engine stalls while vehicle is traveling. At the same time this occurs, the dash lights and gauges will go haywire, flickering, flashing and the gauges swing wildly. The headlights may also go off if they are on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler 300c. After the vehicle was taken to a dealer for routine maintenance, it began emitting smoke. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in the manufacturer recall related to the failure. The failure mileage was 93,000. The VIN and the federal safety agency campaign number were not available.
On multiple occasions (more notably in moist weather, I.e. Rain, morning dew, and humidity) my vehicle has stalled out causing me to have to pull off or veer on to the shoulder of the road. The vehicle does not show any error codes, nor does it have any stored codes from the occasions that this particular issue has come up. The dealerships in my area claim that they have never heard of this issue before and cannot attribute it to anything in particular. They are reluctant to provide me any type of advice because they don't want to be "subject to lemon laws" and so for that fact I feel that chrysler is attempting to turn a blind eye to a very real, very dangerous issue with their vehicles.
Car stalled without warning, all dash lights lit up, gauges quit, climate control stopped, restarted and after driving about 500 feet all returned to normal???
The engine shuts down, power steering cuts off when I'm sitting at a light but only after I pull off. I have to put the car in neutral really quick and start it. I took it to the dealership more than once and he told me that they could not find anything. I told him I almost got rammed in the back twice because it cuts off right after I pull off and I have a hard time turning the steering wheel because the power steering goes out also.
I heard a warning like a tire blow out. Then I saw smoke from driver's side.. Nothing came on the dashboard. There was no warning on the dashboard at all.
Cooling fan separated from its assembly while pulling out onto a busy highway from my neighborhood. The fan shattered and tore into my radiator creating a major antifreeze dump out of the reservoir. Thought I was hit from behind however there was no car behind me. There was not any audible warning indicators or dash lights warnings immediately after this fan failure in which the A/C continued blowing cold air. Within 3 min of failure as I set at a traffic light the cooling temp light came on. I veered off and pulled into jiffy lube and found out I had a antifreeze leak due to looking at a pool of red liquid on the ground...the mechanics poured water into the reservoir and we all noticed water pouring right out....as we let the car cool we attempted to restart vehicle and the ignition wouldn't turn on. ....had my chrysler towed to the dealership and they quoted a $8000 fix which included $4000 of it for a refurbished engine due to cylinder head damage...the damage all happened within 5 minutes of failure.....done some research online and found there is a 2006- 2008 dodge charger, dodge magnum, and chrysler 300 recall "customer satisfaction notification l08 engine cooling fan june 2011". Recall states that the cooling fan fails and comes off in hot climate temperature states. This was the same exact failure I had experienced and was told by chrysler I was not covered because my sales code had to be sales code xdl or xdk...same exact situation happened to many others including one a few weeks before mine in which customer was denied. Chrysler was called multiple times and have had 2 customer service reps hang up in my girlfriend's face as she was explaining to the reps how this failure was the same exact failure. There needs to be an additional recall investigation into these cooling fans before someone ends up severely injured immediately.
Radiator cooling fans pn 24041556 cavity 1. The fan blades separated while my wife was driving and fortunately for us she was coming to a stop. The fan blade(s) cause multiple holes to the radiator disabling the car so we had the car tolled. Both radiator and the fan assembly where damaged beyond repair. I called chrysler at the cs # 1‑800‑853‑1403 on the recall notification on the web at www.wkjeeps.com/misc/lx/tsb_300c_forums/csn_l08.pdf which has my make, year and model as part of this recall but they said they my car did not fit the recall specifics and no notice sent due to some specifics which they did not tell me and would not provide any assistance to repairs the vehicle on this recall or any other means . However per the notice l08 specifies the same defect and results which happened with the fan my car with this part. I can't imagine some kid looking down in the engine compartment while helping his dad and this fan blows up like a plastic bomb causing server injury or even death or while driving and the damage impairs the vehicle break line of steering line causing the car to be uncontrollable on a 85 MPH toll road. This part or recall needs to be recalled and redone to include this vehicle and or pn for recall as well.

We were on the freeway and in the space of several seconds, we lost rpms, the check engine light came on, then the traction light, then all of the lights, then it died just as we got onto the shoulder.
