LOOK IN MY OPINION SAFETY ISN'T #1 PRIORITY FOR CHRYSLER JEEP AND DODGE THEN WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE IT THE # 1 PRIORITY. *TR

UPON MY RETURN I TOOK MY CAR TO OUR LOCAL SHOP TODAY. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT ANY PROBLEMS, HOWEVER SHARED AN ARTICLE STATING MORE THAN 150,000 CHRYSLER OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR TROUBLE. THEY CONTACTED THE NEAREST DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALER IN ABERDEEN WASHINGTON WHO OFFERED NO HELP OR INFORMATION. THEY COULD GIVE NO REASON FOR THE INCIDENT. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE, NOR INFORMATION REGARDING ANY POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. HOW SHOULD I PROCEED? I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN, AND THIS TIME I MAY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE. THIS HAS CREATED A SIGNIFICANT BURDEN AND STRESS. IT SEEMS SOMEONE SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE AND THAT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY BY NOT BEING NOTIFIED OF THIS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. IS THIS AN ISSUE I NEED MY ATTORNEY TO ADDRESS?

AIRBAG ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS)HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I STOPPED AT AN RR CROSSING TO WAIT FOR THE TRAIN TO PASS BY SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE TO DECREASE POLLUTION. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND I WAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BEING LOCKED IN PARK, I COULD NOT EVEN BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC.AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE & MODEL AND CERTAIN VIN'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED TO CORRECT BY CHRYSLER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE ON THE ROAD THAT DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL BUT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM. SITTING IN YOUR DRIVEWAY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IS ONE THING, SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION. ALL VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE & MODEL NEED TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

I WAS GETTING OFF WORK. STOPPED BY MY BARBERSHOP TO GET A HAIRCUT, THAN PLANNED ON HEADING HOME. BUT I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM MY WIFE TO PICK UP A FEW THINGS BEFORE I GOT HOME. I WAS IN THE STORE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THE WAS RUNNING GREAT. NO OVER HEATING ISSUE OR NOTHING. TEMP GAUGE WAS AT IT NORMAL OPERATION TEMP. I'M OUT OF THE STORE IN THE CAR TRYING TO START IT UP. BUT GETTING NOTHING. BUT WHEN IT DOES START I HEAR ALOT OF ENGINE NOISE. SO I SHUT IT DOWN AND HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOME. HAD A FRIEND OF MINES WHO WORKS ON CARS COME CHECK IT OUT. THAN HE TELLS ME I NEED A NEW MOTOR DUE TO VALVE SEAT HAD DROPPED.

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED A TOTAL LOSS IN POWER STEERING, HEAD LIGHTS, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A WELL LIT ROAD WITH A LONG STRAIGHTAWAY AND ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR TO A SAFE STOP. HAD I BEEN A FEW MILES FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A WINDING ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONLY AFTER REFUELING TO THE FULL CAPACITY LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE MECHANIC COULD NOT LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED NOT TO FILL THE FUEL TANK TO MAXIMUM CAPACITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP OR SOMETIMES AT LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED FOUR TIMES IN ONE DAY. *TR

THE CAR STALLED RIGHT AFTER BEING FILLED WITH GAS. I RESTARTED THE CAR PULLED FORWARD AND STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC AND IT STALLED AGAIN. IT RESTARTED AND WENT A FEW BLOCKS AND STALLED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT DID NOT STALL AGAIN. I DROVE IT HOME AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT AGAIN. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM BY CHRYSLER. THEY SAY IT IS THE FUEL VALVE AND HAVE REPLACED THE TANKS ON SOME CARS BUT NOT ALL THAT ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM. I INTEND TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPLACE MY GAS TANK UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT OTHERS HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM COVERING IT. CHRYSLER IS CALLING THEIR RECALL THE X53 19 GALLON EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. THANK YOU. *TR

CAR CONTINUES TO LOSE POWER IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT IN TRAFFIC. WE EXPERIENCED POWER FAILURE SOME 45 TIMES LAST NIGHT DRIVING HOME. AT ONE POINT WE COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 45 MPH. THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN CHANGED AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT STOPPED. NOW THE CHRYSLER TECH SAYS THAT THE COMPUTER IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND A MODULE IS NEEDED. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW AND WE DON'T KNOW NOW WHAT TO DO AND I'M AFRAID WE WILL HAVE A DEADLY ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING DEAD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO STOPPING IT JUST STOPS.

OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE THE VEHICLE STALLS. IT HAS BECOME A GIVEN THAT AFTER I FILL MY CAR I KNOW AT SOME POINT WITHIN THE FIRST 5-10 MINUTES I WILL START HAVING PROPULSION ISSUES. THE CAR DIES WHEN I'M SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I'M AFRAID TO TRY AND ENTER A FREEWAY DIRECTLY AFTER REFUELING BECAUSE IF I GO TO HIT THE GAS IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TO GO FIND A PARKING LOT AND REV MY ENGINE FOR A WHILE TILL I THINK IT'S SAFE TO PROCEED. I SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS AFTER REFUELING MY CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THE COMPLAINTS AND NHTSA REPORTS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE ANY RECORDS OF ANY FUEL ISSUES WITH THE SRT MODELS SO MY BEST BET WOULD BE TO GO TO MY DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. *TR

WHILE PICKING UP MY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL THE CAR FAILED TO START, WHEN I TURNED THE KEY IT MADE A HORRIBLE CLANKING SOUND (FROM THE ENGINE), AT THAT POINT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THE CAR THERE AND WALK HOME FROM SCHOOL WITH THE KIDS. I HAD JUST DRIVEN THE CAR 6 MILES FROM WORK, AND THE CAR GAVE NO PRIOR WARNING SIGNS OF THIS IMMINENT FAILURE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC, HE LATER INFORMED ME THAT THE VALVE SEAT CAME OUT OF PLACE (WALKED) AND THE CAR WILL NEED A NEW ENGINE BLOCK AND/OR EXTENSIVE WORK TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. HE QUOTED THE JOB TO BE AT $7000, HE ALSO EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM PARTICULARLY WITH THE 2006-2008 CHRYSLER/DODGE HEMI MODELS, WHICH SHOULD'VE BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURE DUE TO THE FREQUENCY IN WHICH THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND ROUTINE OIL CHANGES IN MY CAR, SO I WAS TOTALLY SURPRISE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AT 90,000 MILES. CURRENTLY I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCIAL MEANS TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED ON MY OWN, AND I'M ASKING IS THERE ANY WAY THAT I CAN BE COMPENSATED THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER FOR THIS PROBLEM?
