AFTER FILLING GAS ENGINE STALKS SHOT OFF AND WHILE DRIVING ENGINE QUIT RUNNING AND NOW WHEN TRYING TO FILL TANK PUMP ST GAS STATION STOP IS HARD TO FILL UP THE TANK

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK ON ABOUT 28,800 OF THE ABOVE VEHICLE BROKE. A BROKEN INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK WILL RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE 'PARK' POSITION. THERE IS A RECALL FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER FOR THE FOLLOWING VEHICLE WHICH IS THE SAME AS MINE BUT THE "LX": 2005 - 2007 (LX) DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300. WHY DOES THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE SAME AUTOMOBILE, WITH THE SAME YEAR DOES NOT APPLY TO A "SL"? HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO SPEND TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I PARKED MY CAR AND ON MY WAY TO WORK I COULD NOT MOVE THE GEAR, IT STUCK TO P.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ENGINE CUTS OFF. AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR AND FOUND THE PROBLEM WE LOOKED IT UP ON LINE AND FOUND OUT CHRYSLERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT WE SEE NO RECALL. THIS IS A VERY BAD SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR JUST STOPS WITH NO WARNING IN TRAFFIC. REPLACED A COUPLE SENSORS AND ENGINE CONTROL MODULAR. STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE STARTED STALLING RIGHT AFTER I STARTED DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, DURING A HEAVY TRAFFIC HOUR ON CITY STREET. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITING A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE OFTEN. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE. AFTER TALKING WITH THEM TODAY, THEY SAID TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN ALMOST FULL OF GAS AND THEY WILL TOP IT OFF AND CHECK FOR THE STALLING. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, KNOWING IT WILL STALL IN TRAFFIC. THE COST TO REPAIR IF NOT COVERED IS APPROX. $1,500. I ASKED ABOUT THE EXTENDED LIFETIME COVERAGE AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT YOU. MY PROBLEM MATCHES EXACTLY WHAT IS DOCUMENTED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION DOCUMENT PE 13-016.

SOMETIMES IT WILL CRANK RIGHT UP AND SOMETIMES IT WILL CRANK UP AND CUT OFF A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL STAY CRUNK. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE IT GIVE ME NO WARNING. THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP AND CALLED THE DEALER AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I TRIED TO PULL IT UP ONLINE AND I SEEN WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE SINCE 2014 AND NO ONE COULD TELL THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EITHER.

AFTER FILLING THIS VEHICLE WITH FUEL AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL JUST STALL IN TRAFFIC. IT TAKES QUITE A FEW TRIES TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN. UP TO 10 TIMES.

CAR SHUTS DOWN AFTER GETTING A FULL TANK AT GAS STATION AT LEAST 2 TIMES

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE CAR SOMETIMES STALLS AT SLOW SPEEDS OR LOW RPM UNTIL A GALLON OR SO OF GAS IS USED UP, THE CAUSE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING.

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAIT FOR A MINUTE OR SO AND IT TURNS BACK ON AFTER RESTART IT.. INITIALLY IT WAS ONLY DOING THIS AS I WAS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY. THEN AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AT THE STOP LIGHT. IT PROGRESSED TO TURNING OFF AS I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE AND THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AT THE LEAST. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE STREET WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE CAR TURNS OFF. IN A STRETCH OF FIVE MILES, IT HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE APRIL 3 AND THE DEALER STILL CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, THEN THE SPARK PLUGS. THEY STILL HAVE IT AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OR BUCK WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AFTER FILLING YOUR GAS TANK.

BROKEN TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH. FAILURE OF THIS POORLY MADE PLASTIC PIECE IS VERY COMMON IN THE CHRYSLER 300, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A DEFECT AND RECALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. BUT, CHRYSLER DOES NOT SELL THIS PART ALONE, THEY SELL THE WHOLE SHIFTER BOX FOR OVER 200 DOLLARS.

I IMMEDIATELY PUT EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND CRANK IT UP ONLY FOR IT TO DO THE SAME THING 3 OR 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS TO DRIVE NORMAL AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.

ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS A FULL TANK OF GAS, IT'LL STALL OR SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING. WHEN STOPPED, IT'LL REV ITSELF AS WELL.

THE SMELL OF GAS FUMES INSIDE THE CAR! IT WAS BOTHERING MY THROAT WITH THE A/C ON!! WENT ON-LINE TO CHECK IF OTHER OWNERS HAD A SIMILAR COMPLAINT. SURE ENOUGH, FOUND GAS PUDDLING UNDERNEATH THE REAR SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE GAS SENDING UNIT!!!

CAR STALL WHEN FULL

5 MIN AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE CAR STARTED LURCHING FORWARD. TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET, PRESSED GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. THEN RESTARTED AS IF NORMAL. WE HAD 2 GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR ON A VERY BUSY STREET. THIS COULD EASILY HAVE CREATED AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM, FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM. BUT, WHEN I ENTERED THE VIN ON THIS SITE, IT STATES NO RECALLS FOR THIS VIN. WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE ORIGINAL OWNER IS DECEASED SO I CAN'T OBTAIN ANY INFO/HISTORY ON THE CAR.

CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF OUT OF NOWHERE EVEN GOING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT! STARTS JUMPING GEARS MAINLY WHEN THE RPM IS AT 1 GOING INTO 2. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR FLICKER. AFTER THE CAR DIES OUT, WHEN YOU RESTART IT ITS STUCK IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE IN DRIVE. ONCE YOU SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND RESTART IT, ITS AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. THERE IS A BRAND NEW ALTERNATOR AND A BRAND NEW BATTERY IN THE CAR AND IT STILL SHUTS DOWN WHETHER YOU'RE GOING 55 ON A HIGHWAY OR SITTING AT LIGHT READY TO TAKE OFF AND IT DIES OUT THEN AS WELL. I HAVE CHILDREN, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY! I HAVE READ THAT MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THANK YOU

SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK UNLESS YOU PULL CONSOLE APART AND PHYSICALLY PUSH THE SPRING UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SHIFTER WITH SCREWDRIVER. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON IF NOT THIS PART A VERY SIMILAR PART BETWEEN THE YEARS 2005-2007 WHICH THIS CLEARLY FALLS INTO BUT IS VIN SPECIFIC AND THEY CLAIM DOESN'T PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE. FUNNY IT IS BYPASSED IDENTICALLY TO THE PEOPLE WHO THE RECALL DOES COVER. CLEARLY A KNOWN FLAW BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURS.

VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL WHAT LOOKS LIKE MAY BE A GASKET UNDER REAR SEAT IN VEHICLE... SMELL IS EVEN STRONGER AFTER FILLING UP, AND WHEN MAKING HARD STOPS. THERE IS NO GASOLINE SEEN LEAKING FROM UNDER CAR AT THIS TIME. CONCERNED ABOUT FIRE HAZARD. HEARD OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS COULD ALSO BE A VERY SIGNIFICANT FIRE CONCERN AS THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG IN GARAGE WITH VEHICLE PARKED, AND COULD BE A PROBLEM WHEN GAS APPLIANCES OR WATER HEATERS COME IN PROXIMITY TO VEHICLE.

I OWN A 2006CHRYSLER 300 WITH A 3.5 LITER ENGINE. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, I'VE EXPERIENCED STALLING AND ENGINE SHUT OFF FOLLOWING REFUELING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO MY MECHANIC WHO ALERTED ME TO A RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER OVER THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THE CHALLENGE, I WAS TOLD, WAS THAT THIS WAS A VIN SPECIFIC RECALL, 14-002-14, DATED 4/2214, ON MY MODEL AND ENGINE'S FUEL SYSTEM, NOTED AS A LIFETIME WARRANTY REPAIR, AS STATED IN THAT RECALL, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER. MY MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THIS PROBLEM, ALLOWING GASOLINE TO ENTER THE EVAPORATOR CHAMBER IN THE FUEL SYSTEM BY DROPPING THE GAS TANK AND EXAMINING IT. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THIS TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED. AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THE SAME EXAMINATION WAS CONDUCTED AND THE SAME PROBLEM CONFIRMED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE LIMITED RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER, I'D HAVE TO APPEAL TO CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF PROMISED CALLS NEVER BEING MADE TO ME, I FINALLY SPOKE WITH BRITTANY, A CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPERVISOR WHO SAID I WAS NOT ENTITLED TO THE LIFETIME WARRANTY AND FREE REPAIR TO THIS FACTORY DEFECT BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE VEHICLES COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. SHE SAID ANY REPAIR TO THIS ACKNOWLEDGED FACTORY DEFECT, CONFIRMED BY CHYSLER'S DEALERSHIP MECHANICS, WOULD HAVE TO DONE AT MY EXPENSE. AS A CONSUMER, I FIND THIS EGREGIOUS. WHY SHOULD AN ACKNOWLEDGE FACTORY DEFECT BE REPAIRED ON MY DIME, WHILE THE SAME MODEL, YEAR AND ENGINE TYPE AS MY VEHICLE IS COVERED UNDER AND UNLIMITED WARRANTY BY CHRYSLER FOR OTHER, SELECT VEHICLES. I AM APPEALING TO YOUR ORGANIZATION TO HELP ME OBTAIN THIS REPAIR BEFORE MY FAMILY AND/OR I ARE SUBJECTED TO A ROADSIDE FAILURE OF TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU SOON. THANK YOU.

ON MY WAY TO WORK I STOPPED AND PUT $15 DOLALRS IN THE TANK I WAS JUST BELOW A HALF TANK NOW. I DROVE ROUGHLY 5-10MILES AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING AROUND 30MPH THE OIL CAN LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN MY STEERING GOT TIGHT AND BRAKES GOT TIGHT. IT WAS LIKE THEY WENT OUT. MY CAR ENGINE THEN SHUT OFF AND I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER THE BEST I COULD. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A LARGE ACCIDENT. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT MADE NOISE BUT WOULD NOT START A COUPLE MINUTES LATER I STARTED IT AND THE CAR STARTED FINE.

MY CAR IS STALLING WONT RUN SHUTS OFF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DOORS LOCK BATTERY RUNS DEAD WONT START LIKE ENGINE IS DEAD OR NO FUEL. BUCKING DIES WHEN I PUSH ON GAS PEDAL. THIS HAPPENS IN TOWN ON HIGHWAY GOING OVER THE [XXX] RAIL ROAD TRACKS IF MY HURT I WILL SUE YOUR [XXX] OFFFFFFFFFF. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN TBONED REAR ENDED AND ALMOST HIT BY A TRAIN. I HAVE SIBLINGS WHOM HAVE RODE IN MY CAR. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE FIXED AT DODGES EXPENSE AS THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE IN THEIR CARS,TRUCKS AND SUVS.ON THE ANSWERS TO YOUR INCIDENT FORM ACCIDENTS HAVE ALMOST HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIME. OWN UP AND FIX YOUR [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
