My 300 has a glitch that causes me to put in neutral then back in drive I'm guessing because of a limp mode, I've had it worked on many times at the dealer in the 3 years I've owned it and spent thousands of dollars and not fix the problem. It done what 06V341000 said but my Vin is not effected they say

When driving the vehicle it will out of no where without warning shut off on you. Youy lose all power. I was on highway at 70 MPH and the vehicle shut off and with loss of power was hard to get the car to right edge of road and was almost hit by a semi truck. I have replaced on advice of chrysler the fuel tank, fuel pump, new PCM and new TCM and the vehicle still shuts off without warning. It throws two codes u0100 and p0700. U0100 is lost communications and p0700 is transmission fault. These are two generic codes and the p0700 is just a simple as the transmission going into limp mode when engine stalls. Chrysler dealers/service center don't know whats causing this, but you look all over the internet there is 1000's of the same complaint and nothing being done to help. I even called chrysler and they lied that they have never heard of this issue. It is effecting cars from 2005-2006 and is very dangerous. My girlfriend had her kids in my car and was using it and it stalled out and she was almost run into at 9pm at night because of the sudden loss of power and shutting off. I have written you numerous times with no reply back so I am assuming you guys are over looking this issue also. Here is just one web page with same problems as I explained: https://www.2carpros.com/questions/chrysler-300-2006-chrysler-300-car-shuts-off https://www.carcomplaints.com/chrysler/300/2006/engine/engine_stalls_shuts_off_while_driving.shtml and be advised most everyone has had their gas tank,roll over valve and fuel pumps replaced along with PCM and TCM and are cars are still shutting off causing a dangerous precedent for a deadly accident you nor chrysler seem to care about till one of us gets killed

Car completely shuts off out of nowhere even going 55 MPH on the highway, almost caused a major accident! Starts jumping gears mainly when the RPM is at 1 going into 2. When this happens the lights in the car flicker. After the car dies out, when you restart it its stuck in neutral even though you are in drive. Once you shut it off again and restart it, its as if nothing was wrong. There is a brand new alternator and a brand new battery in the car and it still shuts down whether you're going 55 on a highway or sitting at light ready to take off and it dies out then as well. I have children, this is very dangerous and scary! I have read that many individuals are having this same exact issue, please do something before someone gets seriously hurt. Thank you

I purchased a chrysler 300c few years ago. Was informed of a recall for alternator by mail. The alternator was not available for several months. The alternator goes out few months later causing car to blink all sensors and power goes away. Took it in still no recall part available. Dealership puts in same alternator to get me by. Months later same issue occurs. They replace again with recall part. Car still blinking n now stuck in first gear something it wasn't doing when brought in. I believe the alternator is the cause of other components faling..now they want to charge me for those parts. I'm furious because car is now worse than before . I believe this issue should have been resolved and fixed at no charge under recall. Please help me with this problem I avoided due to unavailable recall parts

Vehicle is stuck in park and will not shift out of it. Chrysler is aware a problem exists but conveniently says this car is out of the build date for being affected therefore I'm crazy and it should be an out of pocket expense for me.

Engine will start, car will not shift out of park. Just called chrysler. They will tow at a cost of $50.00 to me. Chrysler will tow to the dealer to fix the problem that they are aware of per tsb k39, at a cost to me to fix, to be reimbursed at some mythical date chrysler deems acceptable. I will ride my unicorn to work tomorrow...
