2005 CHRYSLER 300

From my windows not rolling up or down to my car locking and unlocking by itself. Dash board lights flickering, headlights as well. Recently dashboard gauges quit working don\'t know how fast I am going or how many RPMS I\'m pushing heating and cooling is not working as well with the gas gauge good thing I can do math! My car stalls randomly while driving. Has since I purchased it just never thought nothing of it. My AC stopped working a couple years after purchasing. Door mirrors move all at random. Car pulls to the right and alignment didn\'t fix it neither did rotating tires! CD player won\'t release CDs and will be stuck for days. My seat belts don\'t lock good thing they have pieces for car seats to lock the belts so my child\'s car seat don\'t slide all over!!!! My car has been stuck in park and had to be towed to the dealership for a spring to be fixed $700+ for a spring to be fixed and labor. Ridiculously my blinker don\'t turn off automatically. Heard my car is a death trap very scared and wouldn\'t even be comfortable selling for another person to be at risk to die

V6 2.7L engine oil sludge. Engine needed to be replaced. Also, because of the original engine, now the computer that controls the sensors for the \"check engine\" light, etc…has to be replaced as it also has destroyed. We had taken the car in several times regarding low oil levels. There was no oil dripping in the driveway, no obvious signs that there was a leak. We were just told by the repair places they couldn\'t find a problem, so just keep adding oil when it gets low. That made no sense to me because there was obviously a problem somewhere. Went to a new mechanic and he is the one that finally pulled things a part to get to the oil pan, etc…and finally found the problem. I most definitely want to file a claim in the class action lawsuit against Chrysler to recover the cost of the repairs as this is their fault.

Engine cradle rotted out

I was driving in the fast lane on the interstate and all of a sudden the car began to shut down. It took all my might to move the car from the fast lane to the median, which was on the opposite side of the slow lane. I could have easily been killed due to the speeds of the cars around me.This was the most frightening situation I’ve ever been in!! I am not due for an oil change until next month. The car never sounded funny or anything.

Regular maintain engine sludge still built up and locked up the engine while I was in the sierra mountains.

transmission shuttering when shifting at different speed replaced transmision around 3000 miles, and still not shifting propelly, doing it from 10 to 70 miles an hour

the chrysler 300 2.7 liter complete engine failure .the accumulation of oil sludge, oil pump failure, improper flow of oil, poor heads / gaskets and functions of faulty timing chains have contributed to this failure according to reviews. when maintaining engine’s maintenance as scheduled and extensive pre maintenance services on the internal parts of engine prior led to no prevail the engine still failed. the 2.7 liter chrysler 300 engine has been designed from the start with defected parts which has resulted in complete engine failure, the complaints speaks for themselves costing the owners/consumers an average of 2600 to 3500 dollars to compensate for a used or new engine. why buy the same engine? money invested in a faulty product goes uncontested what a shame for the consumer and a 100% profit for the chrysler manufactures and dealers, they control most of the purchase rights for a new chrysler engine at their cost. if you do extensive research you may get lucky and find the correct engine on www. mopar parts.com web site. the 3.0 chrysler engine supposed to be a better upgrade engine and have better specs. the manufactures say it is properly built and functions satisfactory according to reviews. the 2.7 liter is a unreliable engines and has entered onto the market costing the consumers a nightmare they wont soon forget. mental and financial economical stress in a poor economy structures adds more frustrations. an investigation needs to be done in the interest of so many complaints, people suffering from the same problems. there is a back log with power train remanufactures of the 2.7 litter chrysler engine, they sell rebuild and remanufacture engines. the same used 2.7 liter engine built from the block up with new parts and updated. the reconditions used engine blocks range for an average of 2600 to 2700 dollars. or you can buy a used engine with accumulated mileage with an average of 60,000 to 75,000 miles. eventually ending up with some of the same issues. they claimed the remanufactured (same as rebuilt) engines are updated with no mileage true but not a new engine with complete new parts. you can get this remanufactured engine on an average 0f 2900 to 3100 dollars. you might as well buy one from the dealer at their cost of 3500 dollars. this issue needs to be addressed and some one needs to held accountable with compensation to the owner / buyer who purchase these chrysler engines / vehicles expecting reliable engine functions and parts with normal wear.

In feb. 2013 my check engine light came on. My car failed the emissions test during inspection. I Took my car in for repair and was told I needed the ERG valve replaced, spark plugs, oil change and filter. My oil was changed in December. They said my engine was filled with sludge. The total repairs cost me 1,081.00. The went out but came back on when they test drove my car. They then told me that the gasket for the ERG valve had to be replaced. They fixed it at an additional charge and I was able to pass inspection. In August 2013 my check engine light came on again. I took it back for repair and was told that the ERG valve was under warranty for a year but the labor was not. I had to pay close to 300.00 to repair it and the light went out. In nov. 2013 I started having problems with my engine again. When driving the engine would jersey and when I stand still at a red light it would jersey and cut off. I took my car to a different repair shop and was told they refuse to work on chrysler 2.7 engines. I took it to another place and they ran diagnostic on it at 95.00 and they couldn’t find out why I was having the problem. They told me that the 2.7 engines were no good. I then took my car back to the dealership for repair. They told me that air was blowing into the engine and that’s why it was cutting off. I had it repaired at a cost of cost to 400.00. They also gave me a list of other things needing repair which totaled about 2,000. Mostly consisting with the tire suspension. In April 2014 my car started jarring again. As I was driving home from work (10 minutes from home) my car started smoking and jerking real bad. The Temperature gage was half way so it was not registering that it was running hot. When I got home and checked the engine, we saw that the cap on the coolant mount had blown off and my antifreeze was sprayed all over the engine. I had my car towed to the dealership for repair and they repaired the coolant housing at 310.00 but was told that the engine was still running hot and was no good. They quoted me a price of 5,300 for a new engine. I have a 2005 chrysler 300 with 156,000 miles. I should not need a new motor. Since I’ve been having these problems with my engine all I’ve been hearing is chysler 2.7 engines were no good. It appears that chysler is a ware of the problems with this engine but is not doing anything to rectify the problem. I feel like they should reimburse me for all the repairs I’ve to the engine, especially since I have to buy a new car. I Can’t fine anybody who would sell me another engine. Every one I called said it Is crap and they don’t fool with them. Help, I need a new car, I’m broke don’t have money for a down payment and can’t afford a car note.

engine knocking and oil light coming on

I took vehicle in for a tune up three times,and it still not tune up right, it cost me $565.00.and i told the service department about the problem with the tuneup and that my car cuts off when ever I come to a stop and then it sputter. I still haven’t been satisfied with the service I got and Landmark Dodge. I am also having a problem with the engine – when I drive for about fifty miles, the engine will be a quart low on oil and the valve began to rattle, but when I add a quart of oil they quite down, I been trying to locate a Chrysler rep to explain my concern but unable to locate one.william a jones

My 2005 Chrysler 300 broke down on me and left me on the side of the road. I towed the car to the dealer and they called me several days later and said the car needed a new engine. The oil sludge got clogged and it caused a rod to blow and the piston cracked. The dealer told me this is a manufacturers defect and Chrysler knows about the problem but have not recalled it or made any attempts to fix the problem. Chrysler agreed to replace the engine but they will not give me a warranty on it or guarantee this will not happen again. I asked the dealer tech what he thought and he said to be honest I think it will happen again because Chrysler has not recalled it. This has happend to several other 300 owners also. The problem is only coming from the 2.7L V6 engines. I am driving the car now with a new engine but also with the fear that it will blow again and I do not have 6,000 dollars to buy a new one just because Chrylser cannot back up their product. Please try and help me get a recall on the 2.7L engines.

I’m looking more for some advice,When I leased my Chrysler 300 I was told I was getting the 300 Touring modle, however after checking the VIN number it turns out this car is only a Chrysler 300 modle, I have been informed that the Dealer where I leased the vehicle added a few options and advertised the vehicle as a Touring modle but they didn’t tell me about it,I’m wondering if they are allowed to mislead people this way or do I have any legal recourse,I have not approched the dealer or the salesman about this yet as I wanted to find out what my rights are in this matter,Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated,sincerly,frank neatt

Chrysler does not want to pay for a new motor. i did all oil changes in a timely manner and have all the proof needed. oil sludge build up caused the motor to seize wjile on the highway. i need a new motor but i am not going to pay for a problem i did not cause.

Paint on Hood and top is off

My car starting smoking white smoke; clacking, shaking and starting to lose acceleration while driving. So I had it towed to a Chrysler auto center. They told me it was a build-up of sludge and I was at fault, even though the engine oil was changed on a regular basis. They said it was hear-say and that it would cost me 6K to replace the engine as the warranty would not be honored, and harassed me to pick up my car and pay a $300 service fee. My car is still there and waiting for the Attorney General’s office in Boston to try to help me get them to honor the warranty. It is a 2.7 engine and I am aware of it’s problems with sludge build and how they do not honor warranties. I filed the complaint with the AG’s Office before they told me this because I was afraid and needed my car back asap; I also filed a formal complaint with Chrysler and did it before they denied my warranty because I anticipated a problem with them having gone on-line to research their integrity concerning this matter (Chrysler gave me a ref#19743014). I pay monthly thru Chrysler Financial for this car which includes the warranty. I need help asap because my means of transporting my family have stopped and one of my daughters is disabled. I need help now.

My car has had a great amount of oil consumption and I have told the dealer many times. They have told me every excuse in the book. I have a warranty and feel these cars are defective. Now the company is asking for prove of maintenance on the car even though I bought it used. My engine is about to fail, tapping and no oil on dip stick.

Ever since i purchased my 2005 chrysler 300 there has been a recurring air bag light issue. i had the seat sensor replaced under warranty at a local dealership, but this did not fix the problem. i took the car back several times, but i was told that it had been fixed and there was nothing else they could do. i also called chrysler and voiced my concern over this issue. i stated that i was concerned that the air bag would not deploy if the car is in an accident. chrysler basically told us that the sensor had been replaced so there was nothing else they could do. i told them that if i was ever in an accident and the passenger air bag did not deploy, i would file a lawsuit against them. i have seen similar complaints regarding this issue. why is this problem not being addressed. there should be a recall to fix this before somebody gets seriously hurt! *nm

Dt: the contact stated the air bag light flashed on and off intermittently. the vehicle was taken to a certified dealership four times. with diagnostic testing, the problem could not be duplicated. also, she stated the gear position indicator showed park but the vehicle rolled backwards. no repairs have been made. *ak

Airbag indicator light came on and stayed on and i was told that the airbag sensor was faulty which means it could go off at anytime for no reason or if in an accident it could not go off at all. *jb

Transmission failure, a/c failure, am/fm stereo cd player failure, seat belt/airbag sensor failure. *jb

Dt: the car has been in repair shop 7 times for the air bag light being on. dealer claimed air bag light was fixed. but as soon as the consumer left the dealership the light came back on. dealership keeps putting the consumer on hold, and will not call back. if the steering wheel is tilted the air bag light comes on. owner has had problems with the car since he bought it. also, brakes have a been a problem , as well as the sun roof. *ak

The air bag light illuminated and stayed on . the dealer reset the computer and a couple of days later the light illuminated again. please provide additional information. *jb

2005 chrysler 300c. the passenger air bag will only arm at random intervals, with no discernible pattern. the dealer is unable to correct the situation and the factory does not seem to have a fix. i have written to the president of chrysler and spoken to the factory and they have offered no satisfaction.*ak

Could not get gear shift out of park. we took apart casing, found the pink plastic broke. looked at youtube to fix. order part on amazon. the plastic piece is now made of metal!!

In the begining my car stall after filling the tank up with gas. it would stall at low idle like for instance when i come to a stop. but it also have done it when i've been on the highway when i release the gas pedal which is very dangerous to me and everyone around me. especially on a major city highway like atlanta. i;ve been trying to get this resolve since early last year.

Chrysler recall #k39 consisted of most 2005 - 2007 who had or may have the issue. i phoned chrysler to inform them that i now have the issue but the representative said that my vehicle had to have been manufactured on june/july 24, 2007. my thought is that if it had to be manufactured in 2007 how would any 2005-2006 vehicle qualify for the recall. then all the representative kept saying is that my vehicle does not qualify, while i am informing him that it has to qualify because my shift is doing just what you all recalled. he kept saying, well that is not on "your list". well, i need him to add it to "my list". whatever "list" he is speaking of. the stuck shift happened last night about 11:00pm when i got off from work, started my car, went to shift gears and nothing happened. i feel my car's shift failure falls in-line with the recall k39.

My 2005 chrysler 300 limited trunk slams shut unexpectedly while sitting idle. this has happened to myself and other family members on several occasions and has caused bodily damage. the trunk hydraulics seem to fail with the slightest touch to the car, caused by either the wind or by physically touching the body of the car. the trunk closes with extreme force and could be deadly, as my mother, grandmother and myself have all been struck in the head. we have also been struck in the back as well, and just recently my mother was struck in the arm and several days later the bruise is still visible.

I test drove the car and it drove fine . when i was driving it home it stoped twice. once when i stoped to get gas. i got help from another driver . i got it jumped but it took a while to get it to start. after that i was going straight home . it stoped in the middle of the highway. this time it would not start and the driver seatbelt came off . i had to have it towed home. sense then it has not turned on. im not sure if there more problems yet the dealer did not inform me anything about these problems.

While getting on the freeway, at approx. 50 mph the car would not shift into next gear. rpm was 4500-5000 (as though possibly stuck in overdrive). i decelerated hoping it would compute the need to shift. it didn't. i tried accelerating slowly and still didnt shift. i slowed down, put emergency flashers on and took the next exit 1/4 mile or less away. since the light was red at the exit , i tried putting car into park and then back into drive to see if it would (“reset”), instead the shift selector was stuck in park. light turned green and i couldn’t get it in drive, couldn’t move. after several attempts it finally went into drive. when i got off work, same thing...stuck in park. after 4th try, i was able to get it in reverse, then into drive. i made it home without getting on freeway, parked the car 3 days ago and have not driven it since then. the car was already scheduled for recall repairs at dealership for tomorrow. hopefully i can get it there. (i bought this car a week ago)

My chrysler 300 touring began to stall any time i refueled in winter months. when i brought the car into the dealer they replaced the "vapor canister purge valve". that solved the problem temporarily. when the problem resurfaced i brought the car back to the same dealer and was told it now was a valve in the fuel tank and the entire fuel tank would need to be replaced. cost of replacement was about $2500. the service tech said just don't fill up the tank to avoid the problem. i have been doing that in the winter ever since but last night after refueling it was fine until i was driving around traffic circle and the engine began to stall and i almost got rear ended by another car entering the traffic circle behind me. this seems to be a problem with a large number of these chrysler vehicles. i have a hard time believing there hasn't been a recall on these vehicles for this issue! *tr

No "accident" has happened as yet. the air bags outfitted in this car are manufactured by tanaka and they are defective. in all climates, the bags have exploded are injured or killed a person in the car. chrysler is only dealing with select climates for an action they are taking. i have reported it to chrysler and they will take no action at this time. hopefully, the government will take action and i will be willing to join class action law suits. at present, if i am to drive this car, i would be endangering myself and/or others. *tr

I purchased a 2005 chrysler 300 in 2012. the car came with 4 cooper tires, cs4-265r17. in november of 2014 i noticed a wobble when driving the car. so i took the car to be serviced (balance/rotation/alignment). after all this work the car still wobbled. so mechanic took off each tire to investigate. which he came to the conclusion that the bands in the tire have separated. i purchased a new tire because i don't want to risk the safety of my child. *tr

Unable to shift gear out of parking position. this issue was fixed august 2009 and is happening again. unfortunately, i never know when the issue will surface and recently, i was in a not so nice neighborhood and frightened to death because i was unable to shift from park to reverse. after a few attempts of cutting my car off and on and executing the brakes, i was able to get the car going again. so over this issue right now. *tr

Purchased this car in 2012 with a 3 month warranty. 1 month later lights started flickering occasionally. then while driving 60 mph on local highway lights went out totally. pulled off road and waited until they came back on. took back to where i purchased it, they took it to chrysler dealer and i was told it was "reprogrammed". no problems until last night when lights started flickering again. just a matter of time before they go out totally again at night driving down some dark country road. this is a dangerous situation and hopefully no one will get killed before i can get this car back to a dealership, and this time i will have to pay for it myself. apparently chrysler has no interest in providing a permanent fix for this problem. *tr

The headlight switch is faulty. the headlights begin to flash and will not stay on. this is extremely dangerous! *tr

I was driving on the interstate 264 the first time that the red flashing bolt came on the dash of my chrysler 300 touring, 2005, i was traveling around 60 miles an hour and the car suddenly lost power and dropped down to less than 30 miles. it went into the limp home mode. i had to pull to the side and restart the car and it kept doing the same thing. my husband took it to two chrysler dealerships in which one person said that he had the equipment to analyze the problem and fix it. well we got the car back and it continued to do the same thing even when driving on the regular streets. we took it to another dealer and the car was worst even after taking it back three times. we were charged over $2000.00 between the two dealerships and the car is in worst shape than when we took it in to get repaired. i emailed chrysler and i was told that my car was not on the list that had been recalled. if chrysler dealership can't fix it, who can? i put in a special order for my car because i wanted the light green color. this is the first time that i have ever ordered a car from a company and this is how i am treated. i thank god that no one hit me in the back when this car was doing this. it has been parked, because i am afraid that i will eventually get in an accident because of what is happening with the car. *tr

In july, i was stopped at a stop sign. my car went dead - engine stopped, lights, radio went off. i put it in park and restarted. next occurrence was about a month later at a stop sign again. last occurrence was september 22, 2014 - this time the car felt like it was decelerating on the interstate at approx. 60 mph - the malfunction light flashed and the esp bas light came on. after i got off the highway, the car completely shut off at a stop sign. i put it in park and restarted. my mechanic has installed a program update b/c he couldn't identify the problem. i do know i filled up my car the friday prior to the last occurrence and did not drive it until the monday am when this last incident occurred. *tr

Stopped at stop sign all lights on inst panel came on for about 10 sec then they all went off except esp light. tachometer went to 0 and ac went off. 10 seconds later all recovered, but soon all back to normal ,then events started again. kept this up for about 5 minutes until i reached my destination and after turning car off staying for 1 1/2 hour started car and all was normal. this has happened several times prior and local chrysler has said hard to diagnose and would be very expensive.as long as it clears it self keep driving it. probably loose connection or small short in circuit board. *tr

The vehicle will frequently shut off while driving. it will completely lose power. it also stalls, the gear shift has gotten stuck in park and would not move. the main concern is the fact that it cut off on me on the highway again today at 75mph!! very dangerous!! luckily the semi truck was able to swerve around me but that could have been a fatal accident! something needs to be done about this.... *tr

On many occasions, my car has been stuck in park. i have googled this, and found that many other people have had this same problem with chrysler 300's. some of the cars were recalled, but of course, mine was not. however, i am having the same problem as the cars that were recalled. something under the gear shifter between the front seats is not working properly. in the past, it would come unstuck after a few minutes, but now, i think it is finally fully messed up! i have not been able to get my car out of park for the last three days. i've tried pulling the emergency brake (even though it was not applied), i've tried turning the car off and re-cranking it, i've tried pushing on the brake pedal as hard as i could while trying to shift out of park, i've tried shifting the gear while on accessory, with it running, with it in the on position... nothing has worked. i've even tried talking to it nicely! the shifter just won't move. :( after reading online forums about this problem, many people say that the part that messes up is plastic. something that gets moved as much as a gear shifter does should not be made out of plastic! i'm hoping many other people will complain about this, because i think chrysler should recall all of the cars with this same plastic (or faulty) part!!!!! *tr

I have a 2005 chrysler 300 touring, my first major problem occurred about 6 months ago, a red lightening bolt symbol on the dash came on, and my car would not go over 10mph, took to the chrysler dealership, for them to say i needed a new pcm, which by the way was roughly $1500. had that replaced, car drove just fine for the next couple months, all the sudden it does it again, that same red symbol and esp bas symbol, back to the dealership, to say now it could be a throttle body, had that replaced roughly $500, picked my car up the day it was finished, didn't make it out of the parking lot, same haunting symbols came back on, oh yes, not to mention like 2 months ago, my car gear was stuck in park, thank goodness a lever fixed that problem, about $125. so yes, i'm going crazy, i don't know what to do about this red lightening bolt symbol and esp bas, honestly i think these chrysler's need a major recall, something just isn't right. these are some of the most common problems with the chrysler's 300 from what i've read. i have yet to still to find out what the problem is. i just can't why understand why the dealership that specializes in these specific cars, have no idea what the problem is, even after numerous diagnostic checks. *tr

Bubbles in back left tire, wheel shaking, trunk closed on owners hand. the dealership hollywood kia did not take car back next day, we left keys with receptionist who refused to give a receipt, kept 2000 deposit and is selling the online for 2000 more than we paid. my name still on title.

We bought this car new. my wife fill her gas tank and when driving off the gas lot, her vehicle died almost causing an accident. this has happen almost every time she gets gas. i feel this is a real safety issue and from reading many, many other complaints, this seems to be a very common problem with this vehicle. it seems as though chrysler has replaced the gas tank on the 2006 model but not the 2005. why has there not been a recall on this. i know i will be contacting my attorney if there is an accident due to this issue. *tr

My 2005 300c has been stalling since january 2014, i later found out due to a faulty fuel tank. i had multiple instances of stalling and engine shuttering hard, and very hard restarts almost getting t-boned two times during the stall and restart process. while on the waiting list for a new tank, my hemi engine blew up costing 6k for a new motor. this engine was meticulously maintained with records, i called chrysler and asked their engineers to investigate "if the engine failure could have been caused by the tank hydro locking". after many calls to unhelpful people, some of whom did not even know about the tank issue, the supervisor refused to escalate my request to engineering and summarily closed the case, in spite of his employee first telling me to prove it and helping me get a tear down quote from the local dealer for a root cause analysis. so now they say even if i prove it, they will not investigate if tanks are the cause of engine failures and they closed my case. i think it is doubly unsafe if the bad tanks are also blowing engines, and it is bad corporate behavior to deny a link but refuse to have the engineering dept. look at the possibility of a linkage. the outright refusal to acknowledge the issue or assist even if/when i prove that the tank caused the engine to blow, is beyond unethical and i request that the link between bad tanks and blown engines be investigated by nhtsa and service bulletin issued, and other appropriate measure to mitigate this. *js

Car was stuck in park. could not move gear shift out of park position. i was in a unsafe area and had no way home. luckily i was able to get in touch with someone after being stranded for 2 hours. i did some research on the internet and found hundreds of complaint articles for same problem with same make and model. found a customer satisfaction notification k39 on internet. called the number to chrysler group recall assistance center listed in the notification only to be told that even though the letter addressed 2005 chrysler 300s my vin did not apply. also called the local dealership, same answer, cant help me unless i pay. now i have no transportation to work or otherwise and have to pay to get vehicle towed and find a mechanic that will fix the problem for $$. this seems to be a huge problem for chrysler/dodge owners and due to notification they are quite aware. very unsafe to leave people, children stranded due to this faulty plastic transmission gear shift lever interloc return spring hook. *tr

The car stalls on all turns. very dangerous when merging into traffic patterns and freeways. i have heard that these gas tanks are defected. *tr

All 4 tires are disintegrating from the inside out according to my mechanic. they look good on the outside, but he said they are unsafe to drive and to take back to costco for exchange. they are about 3 years old with less then 30000 miles out of 90000 warranty. brand is michelin hydroedge, which is not listed in descriptions. don't have dot # as car is at the mechanic. *tr

At a stop or low speed the car will sputter, chug, jump and die. no dash indicator lights come on. car will restart. it may occur at stop lights, in the middle of intersections or when parking. i was told by the chrysler dealer service department that it was a fuel tank problem. they told me it was the same problem many other chrysler 300's have been had, but my model was not covered under the recall. i have seen numerous complaints online from many people with the same symptoms. i see that other chrysler models have been covered under a nhtsa action number: pe13016. in my case, i do not know if the problem has anything to do with the fuel level or the tank being recently filled. it is serious safety concern since the car can die in the middle of an intersection, or maybe in a parking lot when you are parking, or braking for other cars or pedestrians. when you suddenly have no power and can't control the vehicle it is very scary and dangerous. please help address this issue and get these tanks covered under warranty. thank you. *tr

I purchased the vehicle new and the transmission was changed at 109318 miles because of slippage. since then i've had problems with the shifter getting stuck in park. i've had the vehicle at a chrysler dealer 5 times and they can't duplicate the problem. i called for a tow while it was stuck in park today and the aaa tow driver demonstrated how to get it out of park. he stated that its a common occurrence with that year chrysler. i'm confused why the service department was not aware of the procedure. the current mileage is 128238. i will take the car back to the dealer and demonstrate the procedure for unlocking the shifter, perhaps they can make a repair. *tr

My daughter (12yrs.) and i were on the freeway/car pool lane (double yellow lines) and the car stalled/turned off completely. i tried not to panic but i daughter did when the lights, engine and not to mention the steering wheel was very hard to turn. at this time i had to cross over the double yellow line and cut off a few cars who all most rear ended me, all cars honked at me and my little one was freaking out. it took 24 minutes to get off the freeway because it kept stalling and wouldn't continue to stay on. this is a very un safe situation, i pray no one gets hurt from this. car continued to stall and turn off and at this time it's just sitting because of funds and just fed up with this car.... not mention my parking lock mechanism broke last month and my engine blown due timings chain stretching. had to rebuild the whole engine that cost me $5,000.00, so you know at this time i will never purchase a chrysler ever again. i new i should have stayed with chevrolet! !!!!!! *tr

My daughter & i are driving my car, a 2005 chrysler 300c with the v8 engine and experiencing a stalling problem after filling up with gas. upon leaving the gas station and merging into local traffic the car then stalls causing a dramatic loss of speed and loss of control. for my daughter she was lucky that there was a driveway (for another gas station) at the corner so she rolled into another gas station without hitting any cars and causing an accident.the same problem reappeared when next time, i left the gas station after filling up and the car stalled after i traveled about 200 feet and had just merged into traffic on a busy local road. luckily i was able to restart the car after it stalled in the middle of this road. the car is now stalling every time i fill the tank and i will be taking it to a chrysler dealer to get fixed. this problem was investigated by the nhtsa (reference case pe3-016) they found that the problem was caused by filling up the car with higher ethanol gas which was causing the gas shut-off float located inside the gas tank to swell and stick in the open position which allowed fuel to enter a purge line. chrysler responded by extending fuel tank warranties to153,817 vehicles, namely the v8 versions on the chrysler 300s, dodge chargers and dodge magnums for the 2006 model year. (reference ) i request this dangerous problem get readdressed on a number one priority basis and that chrysler expand the fuel tank warranty along with ensuring reimbursement to all owners who paid a dealership to fix this problem......thank you. *tr

While driving my headlights and interior lights will just turn off. this is very dangerous. i have found other chrysler owners on the website with the same issue. please help. below is what i found on the website. 1. i have a 2005 chrysler 300 touring and over the weekend on saturday night i was out driving down the highway and my headlights began to flicker & completely went out! when the lights went out it was for a moment but at night without headlights (on a dark road) a few seconds, etc. seems like an eternity. than they started to flicker off/on and go out again, before they stayed on; like this expensive car that i paid my money for should be doing. it is a danger that could very well cause an accident!! if not a recall than chrysler should have the professional courtesy to send out a letter about this hazardous/dangerous defect that requires us to pay for this so-called unforeseen deficiency! no one from a corporate stand point can say that this is a dangerous and we should send letters too besides posting it on the internet (not everyone is internet savvy). i feel that when the car was built this problem should have been foreseen and i am not pleased with the way chrysler, as a whole entity, is attempting to resolve this defect. [xxx] 2. i love my 300 had it since it was brand new.. last month i notice my lights blinking in the middle of the day when i was behind a big truck. since then it appears to happen almost everytime i start the car and tends to go away after 30 minutes of running. at night it is very dangerous. the lights will blink and sometimes go completely off.. when i turn them off they come back on..then go out again i turn the switch and they come back on.. sometimes the dash lights also go completely out and other times they go from dim to bright and back to dim.

On january 8, 2014 at approx 2:45 pm i filled up with gas and continued home 1 block, as i entered my underground parking garage my car stalled, as i started it up, i heard liquid, i attempted to drive it in the garage to check it out, however it kept stalling. i called my mechanic and he came the next morning to check it out, and managed to get it to the shop. it took 2 days to figure out what was wrong, no code came up as it was checked via computer. it turned out that the rotator valve attached to the gas tank was stuck/broken and required a new gas tank, the gas went into the charcoal cannister, also needed to be replaced and 2 new fuel pumps as well. i researched the internet and have seen hundred if not more complaints about the same issue happening to others, this cost me $2400.00 just for getting gas. i also saw issues reported for the inner tie rod and that was confirmed bad by my mechanic as well and had to be replaced. i have attempted to call chrysler several times leaving a message and to date have not received a call back. i feel this was not some small routine repair bill and with the amounts of complaints with the same issue, chrysler should of made the repairs or reimburse the damages, numerous years of this model and several other chrysler dodge makes and models have had the same complaints-maybe a recall should of taken place. i would appreciate this being looked into if there is any option for a reimbursement in regards to this matter. had i continued to drive on the route 62 at 45mph this could have caused an accident as i stalled driving. *tr

There was a pending investigation for nearly a year now with chrysler 300 2005-2006 stalling after fueling. nhtsa closed it because chrysler stated that they will extend lifetime warranty on the defective part. chrysler isn't honoring this. only certain vin numbers for 2005-2006 models. nhtsa needs to re-investigate this. chrysler is not honoring the promise to get out of fixing a ton of potential recalls. please help! *tr

The 2005 chrysler engine failed without warning on the interstate in the middle of heavy traffic . i lost all engine power possibility facing a steering lock down without the capacity to steer the vehicle off the interstate. after prior engine internal maintenance and regular oil changes the engine still failed placing my family lives in jeopardy. i was able to steer the vehicle with more effort to the roadside safely. the chrysler 2.7 liter engine according to manufactures and consumers reviews is an ongoing problem, could lead to the safety of drivers on the road check it out for yourself. this engine is prone to break down and should be reviewed for safety reasons , thank god i was not killed on the highway i had no escape, i could have been rammed from the back of the vehicle or if i or my family were foolish enough to get out of the vehicle we could have been instantly killed. *tr

Car stalls after refueling (even without overfilling). never has trouble starting up again and then drives normally after it stalled 3 times in a row over 5 miles from refueling station. *tr

Every time i fill my gas tank my car would stall. i have already spent over 1000 dollars changing the fuel pump and filter and still problem persist. doing some research in forums i am not only one. the problems appears to be a defective fuel tank which needs to be repair this cost a lot of money and why chrysler have not started a recall. please help this is a hazard on the road for many car owners. i have nearly been rear ended several times do to the car stalling middle of road. *tr

Rather than ask for a recall. chrysler is having customers pay for the repairs, while they needed three different shifter(clips) to remedy their defective design. i have written them a letter stating my concerns but they have denied any responsibility. *tr chrysler has repaired or re-designed the gear shift mechanism 4 times. they refused a recall notice, but stick young families with a $500 plus repair bill, due to their faulty shifter assembly. i paid for the repairs and do not want anything from them, but to know they have taken advantage of unsuspecting families. ..updated 12/17/13 *bf

Once getting off the interstate and turning onto a frontage road, driving 35 mph my car lost power and stalled. i pulled onto the side of the road, turned my car off, and it turned back on. however, this problem has been occurring off and on since august 2013 (7-8xs). it most commonly stalls after filling up with gas. the steering wheel will often times become locked when trying to make a turn when the car stalls. the esp/bas light, check engine light, and a red light with a lightening bolt with vertical lines on each side of it (symbol not in chrysler manual) all turn on when the car stalls. the car stalls 3-4xs before making it to the destination. i have brought my car in to an automotive repair shop 3xs and leave without any explanation of the current problem. *tr

1st time car stalled after fillup. next time morning after a fillup, car stalled then wouldn't start. last time stalled as entering freeway almost an accident.

I am the original owner w/o having the experience of the 300c stalling while depressing the accelerator previously. the car now stalls 3 to 4 times after refueling. i have purchased high-octane gas from the same vendor since 2004 w/ no issues. my mechanic thought it might be residue from the gas tank given the vehicle age or an air bubble because i let the tank get to ~ 2 gallons. mechanic could not find any codes indicating issues. the car now stalls w/i a minute of refueling while taking my foot off the accelerator several times between station & home. the car will not start in n, it has to be in p. typically the next day after refueling the car is fine, fortunately i did not make it to the highway when my car stalled requiring the more than 2 turns of the key in p. again no readings on autoscanner that i purchased because time/$ prohibit going to mechanic constantly. my son is learning to drive and teaching a 16 year old how to operate a stalled vehicle with no steering is difficult. upon stalling, the car brakes are the only option of controlling the vehicle. i hope chrysler finds a fix because this car has been very reliable.

I was intending to back out of my driveway when i was unable to move my floor shifter out of the park position. there was nothing i could do at this point. i had to make other arrangements for transportation. the cost of repair is estimated to be around $500.00. i have spoken both with the dealership and chrysler customer service. chrysler took my information including my vehicle mileage of 54000. i was told there was not anything they could do for me. a high number of other 2005 chrysler 300 owners have experienced this exact problem. it is a problem with the transmission shifter interlock lever. chrysler has issued customer satisfaction notification k39. their explanation on how they reach their determination as to which 2005 chrysler 300's they will service free of charge is unconscionable. i would like to mention that i also feel that this problem is a safety issue. i ask that the nhtsa research this fact. i can see this happening after a mother pulls to the side of the road to tend to her child. i can see this happening after i pull to the side of the road to tend to my ailing mother of 82. these are potentially dangerous situations. please look into this matter. it is unfair to the purchaser. it is unsafe for the public. thank you. *tr

My car was purchased in november 2004 and it is a 2005 one of the first models sold... there was a recall on the shifter plug my car not being able to go from the park position..i filled a claim with chrysler they called me and said my vin number was not recalled i am wondering why... my car was bought in november 2004 and it was a 2005...but they wont send me a letter or show me the vin numbers that were recalled. i am very dissatisfied with them at this point. *tr

The car stalls out at slow speeds and this is occurring shortly after filling up the gas tank or when the tank is almost empty. if you do a google search on "300c stalling" you will literally see 1000's of complaints on this issue. the fix seems to be "replace the gas tank" according to the dealer/chrysler. if this is the case and it's a known issue, why isn't chrysler replacing everyone's tanks. i've been in several situations that were near miss accidents entering/exiting a parking lot into busy traffic or merging onto a freeway where the car stalled and i lost all power to the steering and brakes. this has happened several times since i owned the car (which i bought brand new) but at the time i thought maybe it was just basic vapor lock. as it turns out, that's not the case. this is a serious safety issue as you can imagine what could happen if you try to enter traffic from a parking lot or try to merge onto a freeway from an onramp and the car stalls out. chrysler isn't stepping up to the plate to resolve this matter. to make matters worse, it seems only the original or early models of the vehicle are having this issue and likely all of them are out of warranty so there's no recourse to the consumer except to spend the money out of pocket for the parts and labor. the problem seems to occur when the car goes from an idle (or slow moving speed - 15/25 mph) to when you accelerate (speed at which you accelerate to is not a factor). please advise/help. *tr

Car stalls with a full tank all the time, does not restart without giving it throttle. *tr

Filled up and let gas nozzle stop automatically. does not happen right away. but upon slowing down to stop, car will jerk forward. and after making a complete stop, usually at a stop light or middle of intersection, car will die. causing me to have to put car in park and restart. this will happen a few times until some fuel is burnt. this can be dangerous if car jerks forward into another car. i got this link after researching this problem on the 300cforums.com originally thought this was a bad gas issue. but found it to happen anywhere i fill up. *tr

The gas pedal is not returning back and i had to control the speed of the car with brake and also by lifting the gas pedal with my right foot. at one occasion i had to put the gear to neutral to avoid an impact with another vehicle in front.

Car has been stalling after every gas fill-up for the past couple of months unless i am traveling at a steady speed of over 20 mph for at least 15 miles after fill up. stopping at a light or making a left turn and stalling out is a nightmare! it only happens after a fill up. at this point i try to guess at what point to turn off the gas when refueling to avoid this very dangerous condition. *tr

The headlights and interior lights flicker on and off while im driving my 2005 chrysler 300.. this is a very serious and dangerous issue especially while driving at night. not only do people get annoyed thinking im flashing my lights at them, it can cause a serious accident..there needs to be a recall made on this issue and i see im not the only one with the same problem.. *tr

On 3/9/2012 i went to drive my car, as i was putting the car in reverse i found that the gear shaft would not engage, i did everything to get it to engage, but it wouldn't budge, after a while i gave up and contacted the chrysler dealer who instructed me on how to get the bracket to move. after several attempts it (the bracket) moved, allowing for the gear shaft to move out of park. i took my car in for service and was told that the part might have been under recall, i contacted the chrysler corporation and was told that even though transmission cup plug bracket was under recall for certain chrysler, dodge, and jeeps my car didn't fall with in the parameter of the vin number. i paid for the repair. i would have agree to this had i not had this problem prior to the date above. once before the gear shaft wouldn't move, but someone helped me get it to move, that was several years ago. had i known about the recall then, i would have contacted the nhtsa sooner. the problem that i have with chrysler is that they know that this part is faulty, but the company is only choosing to fix the (bracket) on certain vehicles. what above the 1000's of chrysler 300 owners who have experienced the same problem, where is chrysler responsibility to us-left-holding-the-bag customers. my car wasn't free, i paid hard earn cash for my car and i want chrysler to honor its product. if there was a recall, and a multiple amount of customer have experience the same problem, then chrysler should be willing or made to help with the price of repairing the vehicle, even if those customers where not part of the recall. vehicles breakdown everyday and i truly aware of this, but i'm not the one who placed a faulty part in my car. this is not just above natural wear-n-tear, but about a problem that the manufacturer itself saw, and chose to only assist a selective few. this about fairness? *tr

After leaving my vehicle parked in a garage at the verizon center in washington, dc for approximately 2 hours. i started the vehicle and proceeded to exit the garage. as i left the parking space the vehicle was making a very loud noise as if the engine were going to fall out. i depressed on the accelerator and the pedal went straight to the floor board. i was going up an on ramp and the vehicle coasted backwards. . luckily there was a open space that my vehcle could safely back into. immediately after the electronic throttle warning light illuminated. my vehicle was later towed approximately 2 days later due to it being parked in a busy garage. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. after taking the vehicle in they advised me that the throttle was not opening. the vehicle was repaired by cleaning my throttle body. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was approximately 114,000. the vin was unavailable.

Park lock out mechanism failed rendering vehicle not usable. the mount point on the mechanism failed so even the override device will not allow the car to shift out of park. chrysler has a recall on 05-07 vehicles of this type but they claim my 05 is not part of this recall (sb-10038199-2853) and that they will open a case. research online shows this as a very common issue. *tr

The chrysler 300 would not shift out of park. after some research online it was determined that the transmission shifter interlock shifter lever was broken. there is also a k-39 recall issued by chrysler but my car does not fall under it. i spoke to chrysler and they are not willing to fix it. it is a safety issue because the spring that is broken prevents the car from being shifted out of park if the brake is not pressed. *tr

On july 17,2012 i drove my vehicle at approximately 6:30 a.m to take my daughter to camp. when i arrived home i parked the car. approximately 40 minutes later i got into the car, started it, and placed my foot on the brake to release my gear from the park position. as i did that, the gear would not move. i tried this approximately 5 to 10 times before giving up. i then contacted the chrysler dealer in new carrolton, md and inquired about the part. i was informed that i have a recall on my vehicle in regards to nhtsa campaign id number 05v460000 (power train:automatic transmission). after being informed of that information, i then proceeded to ask the rep. will that recall fix my gear from being stuck in the park position. i was placed on hold and when the rep. returned, she informed me that the mechanic said no. i made an appointment to have the recall work performed at a later time. i then called around to different mechanics and inquired about what the issue might be. i received feedback from at least 3 out of 5 mechanics who stated that it may be the brake sensor fuse being blown or it may be a solenoid that needs to be replaced. later on that evening i went to try and move the gear again and was unable to, so i removed the chrome panel that is around gear assembly and stuck a flat head screw driver towards the top and played around with it. as i was doing so, the gear shift moved from the park position. so now i have to ride around with a screw driver in order to get out of the park position. i feel this is a major safety concern because i have 2 young children and we could've been stranded somewhere. the failure mileage was approximately 102,600. will be getting repaired friday july 20,2012. chrysler should be covering this issue. *tr

The car is stuck in park in my driveway.it is an automatic transmission. i was told it is shift interlock latch that is plastic. i have ordered the replacement part in alloy, a dorman part # 924-706. i was told it is a recall, and called my dealership but alas my vin# was not included in the recall. i was also informed the same plastic part gets reinstalled into the vehicle for $200-475 fee at the dealership. it seems to be happening many times as the place i purchased the part said they order this part often due to the same make and model owners need to replace it themselves. i have looked up the recall and it is considered "the cup plug that retains the park pawl anchors shaft". daimlerchrysler recall no. e14. *js

I parked my car on sunday mid-day. i tried to leave on monday morning for the store and it will not move out of park. nothing has been done other than my researching the net and finding that you've had hundreds of complaints as well as chrysler's 'partial recall k39' that they're saying will only cover certain vin's. that is crap! if the spring is broken it's broken. don't matter where they made it or what stamp is on my dashboard. as a 37 year old medical biller, that has a husband whom works out of town monday through friday, with a child at home (12) and my currently having a broken foot....i'm pretty mad that i had to follow chryslers instructions to their mechanics of how to remedy this problem on their select cars that they are willing to take care of. i took my laptop to the car, sat crunched up in it because there is a heat index out of the roof here so i needed the a/c on, followed their instructions and well what do ya know.... that piece of crap junk spring is broken off the front left pink pulley thing. now, i get to sit and wait for them to 'decide' at the case management senior escalation team, if they are going to adopt my vin into this recall coverage. wth! are you kidding me? i did not make the car. i did not break the car. their crappy, cheap behinds made a faulty shifter and now we have to take the brunt of it. it is to an extent a safety issue because 'what if' there was an emergency that i had to go to? this is crazy! i tell ya what if... i'd have to hire a taxi to take me to the emergency or call ems to take me a 1/2 block down he street if my sons asthma flared out of control. i'd get stuck not only with a hefty bill tow it, bill to the dealer to repair, but a bill to fix it and ems bill. this is crazy! and i'm not stopping until we get some idiot higher up at chryslers attention. *tr

About 6 months ago, my gear shift started "sticking" in park. would not go into reverse without a lot of coaxing. what i did was to keep pumping the brakes and after about 10 or so pumps, the gear shift would release. more recently, my car will just die even when i am going over 40 mph. most of the time, i can just shift it into neutral and restart it. i am not sure of what the outcome would be if i were perhaps going around a corner since the power steering goes out when this occurs. actually as i think about it, it also did this when it was brand new, when i took it to the dealership they said there was no record of it on the computer therefore they could not fix it. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300. the contact was unable to shift the vehicle from the park position. the contact was advised by a tow truck company to enable the override switch below the console. the contact reset the over ride switch below the console and was able to move the vehicle from park. the contact experience the failure again and reset the over ride switch below the console again. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the shifter was replaced at the contact's expense. the failure mileage was 116,831 and the current mileage was unknown.

Gear shift gets locked into park and will not go into reverse when car is on and brake is pushed in. in this case we had to remove parts around the shifter to get to the pink release tab that is located below the shifter, and manually push the pink tab so that the shifter could go in reverse. the car is placed in neutral as of now, so that the car doesn't get stuck in park again. the emergency brake is on but can be a very serious problem if not fixed. *tr

(i'm a minister) now the noise is louder and the engine sounds like it is losing power. i can not say how many times i told them that the car needed a new engine but they kept on trying to sell me another car instead of replace the car or fix it with a new engine. the right side of my car pulled to the right when braking and they told me to go to good year and i did. they said it was manufacturing that they could not tighten up that side take it back but i ended up paying for good year to fix that. now the warranty is gone for real and the noise is louder. it is not the fly wheel or the trans. it is in the engine rt side in the back under the headgasket. i'm an retired jeep employee and i use to inspect on the engine line. i knew this was not good to keep happening so now i have to pay for a engine too? wow pistons or lifters, or something is wrong with that car in my engine! help!

My 2005 300 has had multi-problems since i bought it brand new in 2005. 1st the water out housing has been replaced twice and chrysler refuses to admit there is a problem with it, the gear shifter assembly has gone out on it at only 25k, that was not allowing me to shift from park to any gear. the oil pressure switch just went out today, i'm so sick of this car and most of all sick of chrysler not accepting responsibility for any of this. some of these issues pose a serious safety concern and will cause a tragic accident if not addressed promptly and repaired by chrysler at no cost to the customer. *tr

Chrysler 300 year 2005 moon roof continuous problem noises; part break off. spoke to dealership and they request that i replace unit for approximately $600.00. which is not cover under the warranty. *tr

I noticed that when i drive my car it pulls to the right. i took it to the dealer to have it fixed and the serviceman said that the problem was fixed it just needed an alignment. i left the dealership and drove down the hwy and it began to pull to the right again. i went back to the repair shop and they said to me that the alignment machine said that it was aligned just perfect. so i took the repairman on a test drive and again it pull to the right. so back to the repair shop we went and they replace a bolt or something to that effect(tsb) and it still pulls to the right. i notice a lot of the 05 models have that problem, but it seems as though chrysler has fixed the problem on the 06 and newer models. when you hit divot in the rd. the front end shakes and basically the front tires actually leave the rd. for a brief second. the problem has not been corrected yet and all that the serviceman tells me is that is the way the car was design.(which i doubt seriously) if that was the case then i and a lot of other owners of the chrysler 300 wouldn't have purchase the vehicle. *tr

My headlights have been flickering on an off too lately. i have no brights and i can't control my park lights or my regular lights. i'm a little scared to drive at night. it's obviously electrical, but i haven't taken it in yet because it's going to cost $. *tr

Automobile stalls every time after fill-up. this is a known problem that is being ignored by manufacturer. many references to this problem on reputable message boards. no accident yet, but repeated stalling with difficulty starting after stall is very dangerous. only happens after fuel tank is filled. *tr

Chrysler 300c 2005. after a fuel tank fillup starting from less than 1/2 tank, for the 1st 10 minutes of run time, the car stalls repeatedly with loss of power, braking, and steering. after a small amount of driving the problem stops and normal driving continues. when the engine stalls, there is a complete loss of power and steering. while no accident occurred, it could have easily caused one. i searched on line and found that this could be caused by a recirc valve. this has been replaced and the problem has not been resolved. every fill up from lot level results in stalling for several minutes of driving time. *tr

Failure of front hood support piston around 60k miles. hood no longer stays up on its own after being opened. *tr

Without any warning the gear shift would not move out of park. i had the vehicle towed to the shop and found that i had to replaced the gear shifter component in my chrysler 300 vehicle. i later found out that this part has been recalled on other dodge and chrsyler vehicles, but not on mine. now today my car is showing symptoms that the gear boc may be failing again. the key will not come out of the ignition because the gear is not go holding property in park. i am going to take the car to a chrysler dealership and see if chrysler will fix it. i repaired the vehicle less than 5 months ago. *tr

I have a chrysler 300 that within the last 25,000.00 miles has had the shifter fail twice. this has resulted in the inability of the car to be shifted out of park to any gear. i have found this issue reported on numerous websites which leads me to believe that my failure is not an isolated case. chrysler has repaired the shifter both times ( once under warranty and once out ) but i feel that the part as basic as a shifter should not fail and poses a safety issue to the consumer since the failure completely immobilizes the car . *tr

Last summer i was driving toward my grandson's ballgame. i slowed to make a left turn. suddenly, i lost power steering, power brakes and air conditioning. however, my motor was still running. the next day i took the vehicle to a dealer and was told there were no code showing anything had happened. it is very dangerous, particularly for my wife who would probably panic or not have the strength to control the vehicle. others have had this problem from reading complaints. afterwards, i had to replace an o2 sensor for the 3rd time and then replaced the evaporator on the ac. *tr

1. the events leading up to the failure. there are hundreds of reports on the internet about long term and systemic oil sludge problems causing sudden catastrophic engine failures in dodge and chrysler vehicles using the 2.7l v6 engine spanning from approx 1998-2005. my well maintained 2005 chrysler 300 engine failed suddenly and dangerously while driving. and this was 1 month after paying the chrysler dealer $850 to change the transmission fluid and coolant at factory suggested dates. with only 56,000 miles and oil changed every 5000 miles (owners manual suggests 7500) the chrysler dealer initially wanted over $2000 to fix an unexplained internal water pump leak, and timing chain failure. only after heated discussion did they back down and repair it for a $100 deductible under the 7/70 drivedrain warranty. 2. the failure, how often it occurs, its consequences. simply using google and entering "chrysler 2.7l engine failure" leads to hundreds of reports of suspected oil sludge (due to poor engine design and oil not flowing properly) that causes sudden and dangerous unexplained engine failure involving thousands of dollars. chrysler and its dealers first attempt to blame customers for not changing the oil enough or using the right oil etc. in my case my dealer said "...chrysler is being very quiet asking us to use all new parts and not giving us alot of information...". 3. what was done to correct the failure; i.e, parts repaired or replaced (and if old part is available). my dealer said chrysler told them not to talk about it and to use new and modified parts they gave them and not to use any of the old parts. *tr

There was really no events to this failure, it's just something that 2005 chrysler 300's are known for. one day, for no apparent reason, the airbag light turned on in my car and i tried taking off the fuse to see if it was good, which it was, but nothing changed. i read online various forums and apparently the 2005 300's are known for that to go off because the harness in the steering module is too short and unplugs or goes bad. we had to replace that module which cost $33.00 plus labor from a mechanic which was another $100. the dealership wanted $250, and the problem is a manufacturer defect. *tr

I have 2005 chrysler 300c, the air bag connection goes bad due to an automatic telescoping steering wheel, its a very expensive fix and an engineering flaw not to mention a safety issue, this problem appear to be to be popping up on many 2005 chrysler 300c. *tr

I have had numerous problems with my chrysler 300, which are becoming more costly and defeating the purpose of my purchasing a new car. first, i was subject to a recall regarding the transmission. next, the rack and pinion went out. thankfully that was covered under warranty. now i have to repair the outer tie rods when i have less than 75,000 miles on the car. this repair is $500.00 on top of what i have to pay for the car payment and is not covered under warranty. the brakes recently had to be replaced (another $350.00) and i am also being presented with issues pertaining to the oil pan (which apparently is made of plastic). *tr

Almost 10 months ago, i was driving in the evening with my headlights on when someone stopped me and told me one headlight was off. the headlight was turning off and on but would not go out completely so i figured it was just loose. then the headlights were taking turns shutting off and on and at times shutting off completely. this is very dangerous so i avoid going out at night. when i could get the time off from work i scheduled an appointment with the chrysler dealer and they said it was the right headlight modular and it would be approx.$900+ dollars to fix. i cannot afford this. dealer said to check with chrysler because it looks like a defect and they may have had a recall in the past. i am not the original owner and did not know if the original owner had this problem. i have only had the car for about 2 years. please help me. *tr

Purchased the chrysler 300 jan 2005 and within a few months vehicle started pulling to the right. we took the car in 3 times within the first 6 months of having it and they tried to fix, said they had and was not. on the final attempt, they told us to take it to an alignment shop on our own to fix, "we tried." now, after 3 years driving with the same problem. we have a new problem, the speedometer gauge broke. we were told sorry, its out of warranty and we have to pay 1000.00 to fix. another dealer, said they would charge 800. ii was told that our cluster would be sent out and replaced with a refurbished one. so we did not have it fixed, we decided to purchase one on our own (from a junk yard or refurbished) and now the mileage needs to be reset. but were told that they could just reset the mileage for 100 dollars. took the car in now being told that we can not do that. so what's the difference if they put in a refurbished one or we did, it still needs to be reset. it seem to me, they still want the money to fix and that's al they care about! when it should be only 100.00 to fix now. *tr

Gear shift on 2005 chrysler 300 touring malfunctioned. couldn't remove from park position and at times had difficulty putting car in park. tried to use the manual to release. information in manual stated by depressing pink button next to gear shift would release gear from park position; but did not work. my husband is a certified technician and stated that the pink button was not connected to anything; but he was able to release it by taking apart the console to expose the main release so that we would not incurr a $150 towing cost. the vehicle was then taken to ganley/dodge/chrysler dealer and the entire gear shift had to be replaced; but they could not explain why it went bad nor why this pink button was not connected nor able to release. dealer also said that there were no recalls on this type of repair and the cost would be my responsibilty. cost of repair approximately $375 plus the part is back ordered for approximately three (3) days. i will take vacation days from work in order to have my car repaired and will be without transportation. need to know if this is a manufacturer's defeat since the infomation in the manual stated procedures to follow in the release but not effective and whether or not i can be reimbursed for the repairs and if i can send the original part back to the manufacturer so that a technician can honestly analyze if the part was installed properly and/or why it did not perform as indicated in the manual. will miss time off from work and no loaner was provided or offered. i understand that repairs must be made but something that was not done by the owner should be the responsibility of the manufacuturer if this type of repair is due to the production of the vehicle. to some, this may be inexpensive; but to others with today's economic situation; there should be no need for a consumer to endure an additional expense "just because" without a justifiable explanation. your response to this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300. the contact started the ignition and attempted to shift from park into reverse; however, the gear was stuck in the park position. there were no warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and has not yet been repaired for the gear malfunction. the failure and current mileages were 44,000. updated 09/24/08. *lj the dealer replaced the shifter assembly. updated 10/0/108. *jb

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300. the contact stated that the fuel gauge became inoperable. also, the theft auto light illuminates intermittently on the instrument panel. while driving 35 mph, the fuel gauge indicated that the fuel tank was half full; however, the vehicle sputtered before coming to a stop. upon further investigation, it was deemed that the vehicle had in fact run out of fuel. once fuel was placed in the vehicle, the engine started immediately. this is the second occurrence of this failure. the vin was unknown. the failure and current mileages were 54,000.

My car is stuck in park and had to be towed to a mechanic. the mechanic told me that the part needed was part of a recall. when i called chrysler they told me that even though there is a recall my car was not part of the batch. they stated that they pick a certain amount of cars to be part of the recall but that the other ones get omitted. i called chrysler and they gave me a case number 17859460 and when i asked to speak to a manager they hung up on me. i don't feel that it is fair that i need to pay for the part and labor because chrysler decided that my car was not part of the batch. chrysler wants me to have to pay for the parts so that they can make money off of me but i feel that they need to take responsibility for something that they are in default for. *tr

Known problem of heavy corrosion around outer rim (location of tire bead) of chrome clad aluminum wheels on chrysler 300c vehicles. dealer acknowledged problem but chrysler would not cover replacement under warranty. when contacted again in 2008, chrysler said they would not cover because warranty expired. they were advised i had the extended bumper to bumper warranty. they advised that was not bumper to bumper and only the basic warranty would cover replacement. when i advised that the initial complaint was filed well within the basic warranty period (19 monts, 18k miles), they said they would not cover the wheels under warranty. as the corrosion progresses, my concern is rim failure. *tr

Warning light for air bags came on and would not go off. on june 1st 2007 i took the car to the dealer. they told me it was an electrical component and would be covered under my supplemental warranty. the repair order lists the following work as being performed: "41706 clockspring 2.00 the tech read dtc present in the orc for driver's squibb 1 open. the tech performed diag as per services information and verified the failure. the tech removed and replaced the clockspring, recalibrated the steering angle sensor, cleared the dtc and test drove the vehicle". only 3 months later in september of 2007 the air bag warning light again stayed on. i took the car back to the same dealer and i was told that this time it wasn't an "electrical" problem but the air bag itself, since my supplemental policy did not cover air bags i would have to pay the entire $650.00 myself. the diagnosis on the work order read: "46765 found code b1b02 in orc module 1.00 diagnosed and found internal short in drivers airbag. need to replace airbag assembly". this car has 46,000 miles on it and is only 2 years old. i am worried about the integrity of the air bags and i understand there have been many other complaints other than my own about airbag problems with this type vehicle. *jb

I have a 2005 300c that i bought in april 2007, it only had 14425, miles, when i tested drove it, i notice that it was pulling to the right, i thought it was a low tire, and i was in love with the car from the time i saw it. as weeks went by and after placing air in all tires, the car continued to pull to the right. so i called the dealership and stated my problem, they asked me to come in. i told them the problem that i was having and they recommend a wheel alignment that i paid for. i drove it home and noticed that it was doing the same thing, pulling to the right, i called them and made another appointment, this time the said it was the tires, so i replaced the tires and put the goodyear assurance on it, and again paid for that. i took off again for home, and noticed the same problem. i turned the car around and went back to the dealer, and told them it was not fixed. they said to me that chrysler knows about the problem, after i have spent the money myself trying to repair a problem when i still have bumper to bumper cover, that when chrysler come out with a fix i would be notified. this is wrong, and chrysler should repair the problem, and give us back our money that we have spent in trying to repair something that they know about. *jb updated 11/26/07

I am the owner of a 2005 chrysler 300 which suffers from electrical system failure under power, leaving me with no control over the vehicle. it has been into the shop five separate times for this problem, and has not as yet been repaired. however, this is not the main complaint i am contacting you regarding, even though it is in itself extremely hazardous. in this instance, when it was brought into the dealership for electrical failure, the repair technician was pulling it into the shop to look at it, and the left front control arm on the vehicle snapped in two. upon observation, it was found that the right front control arm was severely bent and ready to snap. the replacement control arms are twice the thickness, and twice as heavy, as the original. this is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that chrysler not only knew that the original control arms were defective and/or ineffective, but that chrysler corrected the problem without the issuance of a recall for the said defective/ineffective part. breaking control arms on the vehicle constitute a known vehicular hazard that can cause injury, death, and property damage. i hereby request that the nhtsa consider this a formal complaint and request for immediate safety recall for the 2005 chrysler and any other of the chrysler vehicle(s) which may use the same control arms, part number 4782561ae, in the interest of safety. this defect endangers not only the driver and passengers of the vehicle itself, but also other drivers who may be in the way when the control arms snap. when i contacted chrysler about the problem i was told that it was just ?too bad? and that i could not prove i had not done something which caused the problem. even though i advised them i knew that they had replaced their inventory with bigger, stronger control arms. utilizing the ?reasonable person? legal tenant, any reasonable person would understand that chrysler is trying to deny responsibility for their defective vehicle. *jb

I had a car seat installed in the rear center seat with the latch attached. one day when i took the car seat out, i noticed that the plastic bar across the belt buckle had cracked. this is the piece that cinches the belt tight, therefore the belt would no longer tighten down to hold the car seat. i have no idea how long this had been broken, since i had the latch in place. i moved the car seat to another seat and had the dealership replaced the center seat belt. the seat belt where i moved the car seat to broke. i then had another car seat in the center rear and that one broke. each time it is the plastic bar on the buckle. i have had three seat belts replaced on this car and one of them being a brand new replacement. the dealership and the chrysler customer assistance tried to tell me that they couldn't had to find a solution, therefore no one is willing to take responsibility for the issue. the dealership service manager also told me that i needed to use the locking clips that come with the car seats because the seat belts aren't designed to maintain the tension of holding a car seat in place. in the owner's manual it states, "the passenger seat belts are equipped with clinching latch plates which are designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip." the dealership is trying to blame me for their equipment failure. *jb

2005 300 limited has a throttle and engine problems. *ts when the consumer test drove the vehicle he told the salesperson about the vehicle rough idle. the salesperson said to drive the vehicle for about 1000 miles to work the bugs out of the engine. if that didn't work he was told to bring the vehicle back and the problem would be fixed under the vehicles warranty. the vehicle was returned to the dealer at 1700 miles. the dealer flashed the computer but the rough idle was still present. the flash created a high idle, lunging and popping sound when putting the vehicle in park. the vehicle also shook when turning the vehicle off. when the vehicle was driven over 30 mph the throttle would not ease down when the consumer foot was removed from the accelerator pedal. the consumer had to ride the brakes to slow the vehicle down. *nm

I have a 2005 chrysler 300 touring edition, which i purchased in nov. 2004. in oct. 2005, i took my car into the local dealership because i was experiencing difficulties with my interior and exterior lights flickering. at that time, i was told by the dealership that they flashed the computer and the problem was corrected. then about 3-4 months ago, i took my car back to the dealership because i was experiencing problems with my stereo. there are times that i get into my car and i do not have sound and none of the functions will work. i then have to manually turn the stereo off and back on for it to work. but unfortunately, i was told that since the problem was not occurring at that time, there was nothing that could be done. well this past sunday i was driving late at night, and all of my lights went completely out, and everything on the dash went out. my speedometer and gauges went to zero, then warning indicators started flashing. once again, i took my car to the dealership and i was told that several codes were stored in the computer but at that time they could not fix the problem because they weren't sure of the exact problem. i was told to continue driving the car and hopefully it will occur again and they will be able to find out the problem. at this point i am becoming frustrated with my car and i am ready to trade it in. *nm

I currently own an 2005 chrysler 300, which in turn i am now having to replace an entire engine. my car receives regular maintenance and it gave me no sign of failure. i contacted the manuf. for assistance and it was a dead end, as well as the other consumers complaint attempts. in my investigation as well as many others the oil pump for a 2.7 is to small for the engine, therefore as the mileage comes to or exceeds 60,000ml. the engine will crash. as in my case i am not the first owner therefore i was told by the manufact. that they wouldn't grant me any assistance. ironically, consumer engines give out at the time of there exceeded warranty. *nm

A 2005 chrysler 300c 4 door, was traveling north bound on a state highway. the highway is a 2-lane asphalt roadway, with a northbound right curve at the collision site. there is a negative super-elevation from west to east. the roadway is posted 55 mph. definitive mathematical calculations have not been completed. however, it is believed the chrysler was traveling near the posted speed limit. the chrysler was occupied by four adults, over 50 years of age. the driver, a front seat passenger, and two rear seat passengers. a 1997 ford taurus was traveling southbound on the same state highway, approaching the chrysler 300c. the ford was occupied by two males, age 16 and 19. a driver, and a front seat passenger. the ford was traveling in the curve, which is a left hand curve south bound. the ford, believed to be in excess of the posted 55 mph speed limit, went into a counter-clockwise yaw, crossed the centerline, and laterally impacted the front of the chrysler 300c. the occupants of the ford died in the crash. there is significant crush to the passenger side of the ford. the b-pillars are approximately 21.5 inches apart, as measured inside to inside. the chrysler 300c passenger side rear occupant also died in the crash. there is evidence of seat belt use by this occupant. the latch plate and buckle at the passenger rear seating position of the chrysler failed. the buckle is partially disassembled, and the latch plate broke where the webbing feeds through the latch plate. there is no evidence the pre-tensioners fired, or locked the seat belts at any position. there is deformation to the steering wheel at the six o'clock position. all seat belts move freely within the retractors. my investigation is still ongoing. i do not want to be premature in making this complaint. conversely, i do not want anyone else to die or be seriously injured if there is a seat belt defect. with kindest regard, eric f. naugle #157 glynn county police department actar #1258. *jb

(1)the rear seats on the chrysler 300 c came forward in a head on accident. the weight of the luggage in the trunk pushed against the seat, broke the latch and put excessive pressure against a 9 and 11 year old held in by the seat belt. it caused their backs to break and caused major internal damage to their organic. (2)on impact (which was a head on) the car lost all electrical power making it impossible for the doors and trunk to be opened from the outside. this caused a major delay in removing the boys from the rear of the car. (3)even though it was a front end collision a fire broke out in the trunk destroying everything. the car is rapped in plastic and stored under cover. *jb

This is for a 2005 gem (global electric vehicle) e4 - failure of weld on bracket of the lower, passenger-side, rear control arm. bracket was only welded on one side to the rear axel and failed. the other side bracket was welded correctly on two sides and confirmed with the manufacturer. such a condition at "speed" could have proven to be extremely dangerous. *jb

The car i am writing about is a chrysler 300c. that car is not an option in the selection. my 300c is equipped with front and side air bags. when the car was hit on the passenger side by a gmc jimmy the front bags deployed but the side ones did not. shouldn't the side bags have opened as well? that is my concern. *jb

Ever since i purchased my 2005 chrysler 300 there has been a recurring air bag light issue. i had the seat sensor replaced under warranty at a local dealership, but this did not fix the problem. i took the car back several times, but i was told that it had been fixed and there was nothing else they could do. i also called chrysler and voiced my concern over this issue. i stated that i was concerned that the air bag would not deploy if the car is in an accident. chrysler basically told us that the sensor had been replaced so there was nothing else they could do. i told them that if i was ever in an accident and the passenger air bag did not deploy, i would file a lawsuit against them. i have seen similar complaints regarding this issue. why is this problem not being addressed. there should be a recall to fix this before somebody gets seriously hurt! *nm

Dt*: the contact stated all four tires have worn prematurely, although they were serviced properly. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, however no cause was found for the problem. all four tires were replaced. the tire line is 225/60r18. updated 6/16/2006 - the tire were rotated every 6000 miles. all four rims were pitting and coming apart. *nm

Dt*: the contact stated while driving at 50 mph the accelerator pedal became stuck in the depressed position which resulted in an accident with another vehicle. there was severe damage to the chassis of both vehicles. however, the air bags of the contact's vehicle did not deploy. it was taken to a service dealer but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the problem with the accelerator pedal. also, the vehicle continuously pulled to the right and required excessive force to keep the vehicle moving straight. the vehicle was taken to service dealer where the tires were rotated. shortly after the tire rotation, the tread became completely worn. the mechanic determined the suspension was the cause of the problem.

Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalls intermittently. it has been taken to the dealership a total of 5 times. the dealer performed diagnostics test on the vehicle after four times the dealer is still unable to duplicate the problem. the vehicle has now been taken back to the dealership a fifth time. this time a flight recorder was installed in the vehicle to find out what the problem might be. the manufacturer has been alerted.

I drive a chrysler 300c, when i purchased the car i felt the car veering to the right. well i had taken the car in to the dealer and i was told that i needed a wheel alignment and i also needed to have my wheel rotated. well i did that and still i had the same problem. so i took the car back and was told that i needed another wheel alignment and my wheels needed to be rotated i did all of that and i still have the same problem. i also have a problem with my horn not blowing when the car is not running. i find all of the above complaints to hazardous and dangerous to myself, family and friends. i am told by the dealer that there is no problem. i have tried calling the service manager for the last two days and have yet a receive a response. *jb

2005 chrysler 300 c has a documented history of stalling since taking ownership of vehicle. vehicle has stalled multiple times while driving. dealership has attempted to reprogram the powertrain control module, clean the combustion chambers, and replace the manifold absolute pressure sensor; problem still exists. after the most recent occurrence of stalling i was unable to restart the vehicle. i took a video of the attempts to restart the vehicle as the dealership has never been able to duplicate the issue. i have also contacted chrysler customer relations and they have stated that there is nothing they can do since the dealership cannot duplicate the issue even though i have shown the dealership the video of the stall / non-start issue. vehicle has approximately 29,000 miles. *jb

Dt*: the contact stated there has been a problem with the front alignment since the vehicle was purchased which caused the vehicle to pull to the right. the vehicle was taken to the dealer ,where a front alignment was performed. the dealer offered to change some non specific bolts and the shim in an effort to correct the problem with the front suspension, but could not guarantee this would resolve the problem. the vehicle was taken to an alignment specialist shop, where it was aligned to meet factory specifications. however, a test drive by the repair shop personnel confirmed the contact's initial complaint of a right lead. after the test drive the repair shop personnel alerted the contact of a technical service bulletin nhtsa 10013692 regarding a revision of the alignment specifications for the right lead problem. *ak

This is my second new chrysler 300 passenger vehicle that has had the same problem. the problem occurs when the car is put into the reverse position. once, you start to back-up the car cuts off. the first car was returned to the dealer and exchanged for a second new chrysler 300. the same problem exists. the dealers mechanic said the problem was the "throttle". i believe this is a serious problem, because if it continues to cut off -- another car may hit me and cause an accident. *jb

Purchased used 300 touring chrysler on april 2005 with about 25000 miles already we notice ever since we purchased our vehicle it has made a loud bang noise everytime we go on reverse and it seems it lags before getting in gear and lately it was starting to make that bang noise going forward mostly when accelerating fast, we were thinking of taking it in but have been putting it off due to our work schedules, well this 23rd of december 2005 while going to a friends b-day party the whole back axle broke off we were in a red light as it turn green i accelerated and we felt the car drop completely on the rear at first i thought i blew out the tires or something but as we pulled to the side we notice the tires were way inside the fenders. when i met the tow truck driver the next day in the morning we both notice the axles completely broken off from the chassis at that point i thanked god that it did not happened on the freeway when i had my children with me, on the way to the babysitter. *jb

Tires on chrysler 300c need to be replaced at 15,000 miles. tire is continental contitouring contact ch95. may be safety issue as consumers are not expecting to replace tires so early. continental says tires not covered until consumer replaces them, and chrysler did not disclose these are very high performance tires and would need to be replaced every 15,000-20,000 and say they cannot do anything either. this may also be a problem on the dodge charger and magnum also. very pleased with the car, but not with tire wear and possibility of accident resulting from premature tire wear. *jb

I have a 2005 chrysler 300c hemi. three months ago, i put unleaded 87 octane gasoline in the tank. i drove a few blocks and the engine stopped suddenly in mid-drive. i had a difficult time restarting the car and when i did, it took a few seconds before it would engage in gear. i took the car to the dealership to check, and they advised me that the engine computers have to reajust to the lower octane. since that time, i have only put mid-octane (89 octane). whenever i allow the tank to be lower than a quarter of a tank and i refill with 89 it still stalls in mid-drive and hard to start with the transmission not engaging immediately. i am concerned that the car will stall in the middle of an intersection which could lead to serious injury or death. *jb

The car never seems to hold an alignment. it gives the feeling that it wants to drift over the road (beyond the geometry of the road.) and sometimes suspension shudders over transition joints in roads. *jb

Dt: contact purchased a 2005 chrysler 300 limited edition sedan on 7-27-05. he drove it home. the next day his wife parked vehicle in the parking lot where she worked. 30 minutes later, the manager of the building called contact wife's office informing her there was a car on fire in the parking lot. flames came out of the engine block. the car was totally destroyed in less than 24 hours after purchasing it. the car parked next to contact's vehicle was destroyed, as well as 2 or 3 other cars were damaged. he contacted daimler/chrysler, and they were going to send someone to look at the car. the dealer agreed to give contact a loaner vehicle. contact did not notice any defect within the car prior to the fire. this was reported to the fire department and police department. contact had pictures of the car. he said that dealer installed a passive alarm system with an ignition kill, a remote start feature, could start the car without the key. a lo-jack anti theft system was installed. also, the car included a navigation system, power adjusted gas and brake pedals, self sealing tires, and side/curtain air bags . he purchased a an extended warranty of 7 years,100,00 miles bumper to bumper. *ak

Sometimes, my '300 touring' (3.5 liter ho v6) just 'lunges' forward while i'm stopped at a stoplight for no particular reason. this has occurred on several occasions (about eight times now) whether my car is 'cold' and/or after it has 'warmed-up' for a while. sometimes, even with the brake pedal firmly depressed, it'll still 'lunge' forward...feeling as if my car will fly right through the intersection. on 04/04/05, while i was stopped at a stoplight behind another car, my car 'lunged' forward once again, but this time causing me to rear-end the vehicle in front of me...causing damage to the front of my car, as well as to the rear of the other. to make matters worse, i was actually enroute to my local chrysler dealer to have a 'recall notice' taken care of (for inappropriate gauge cluster readings). prior to the accident, i had advised my dealer about the possible transmission problem, but each time i was told that my car's complicated electronics/computer system was in fact actually just trying to get accustomed to the way that i drive, and that it would adjust accordingly. on the day of the accident and during subsequent visits, i also had my dealer try to determine the cause of and rectify this particular problem; however, each time, i was advised that either they could not duplicate the problem nor have they heard anything like this before. i have read on some chrysler 300 internet forums, that some others have also experienced this same problem, so, i'm now sure that my problem isn't just a unique incident after all. if anything, i would at least like to retrieve previously requested documentation from chrysler identifying the actual existence of this particular problem, so that i can present this documentation to my automobile insurance company. this incident has now tarnished my perfect driving record, as well as also forced me to now pay a higher insurance premium.

Day after purchase noticed load roar and steering wheel vibrating when the compressor for the air condition kicked on and off, called dealership and was told to keep driving maybe it will work itself out, maybe a kink. i am now on my fourth visit and the problem is progressing. the vehicle now stutters and almost dies each time the compressor kicks on and off. the dealership located in crystal city, mo is still figuring out how to handle the problem, which started the day after purchase.

Dt: contact went to dealership to have inspection done and the car. however,it did not pass inspection because the tires were unsafe because of their condition. this was a safety issue because the owner's manual advised the rotation tires every 3,000 miles up to 72 months. she has done that, but the tires were worn out. she called continental to get the tires from the warehouse. the ware house did not have any of the continental, contours plus tires. she placed an order for new tires, but it will be approximately 2 weeks before they will be in. she talked to a representative at continental, and he told her the tires were good until 60,000 miles. her car had 20,000 miles. she felt that people were being mislead by owner's manual as to how long tires will last.*ak

2005 chrysler 300 touring purchased on 11/4/2004 began making a loud moaning, straining noise when the air conditioning is turned on, the day after purchase. there is also a very noticeable vibrating sensation in the steering wheel and brake. during a/c use, the engine has an irregular idle to an almost stall when making turns during backing and forward movement of vehicle at very slow speeds such as backing out of a parking space. took it to dealer in san diego, ca and they said they did notice this strange, ongoing progressive condition but said they could do nothing about it because there had been no manufacturer recall. this condition is only getting worse. i thought my vehicle was the only one with this very annoying condition until i read an almost identical complaint from a consumer in mo. *nm

Dt: the consumer owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. the car sits too low on the ground. the dealership stated they do not have the authority to alter the vehicle. the manufacturer stated that they had never heard of this problem this is just the way the car is made. while getting off of a turn pike there was a turtle coming across the road but it was between the tires and the bottom of his car, the vehicle scrapped over the turtle. again while driving it was raining the consumer was in the middle lane the car in front ran over something and he hit it and it wedged under his car he could not turn left or right he had to drive a quarter mile to get off the road and he could not get under the car so he hit it with a golf club and later found out that it was a hard hat that got stuck. *jb
