2006 Chrysler 300 Steering Problems

MY CHRYSLER 330 WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK ,SHUTS OFF FREQUENTLY WHEN DRIVING..I HAVE NO BRAKES,POWER STEERING,& ENGINE SHUTOFF..I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF HIGHWAY & ROADS W/ LUCK 7 NOT CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS..I THINK NHTSA # ON THIS ISSUE IS-PE-13016..IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT I HOPE GETS CORRECTED ASAP..THX FOR YOUR HELP...THIS HAPPEN 3 PLUS TIMES...

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, THE CAR STARTS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND DRIVES OFF WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AS THE CAR SLOWS DOWN WHETHER STOPPING OR TURNING THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN THE CAR VEERS INTO THE OTHER LANE BECAUSE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THE CAR HAS TO STOPPED BEFORE IT CAN BE RESTARTED. ALSO IF YOU ARE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AFTER REFILLING WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE WILL REACH THE DESIRED SPEED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, AFTER MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AS SOON THE DESIRED SPEED IS REACH AND THE MOTOR SLOWS, THE CAR MOTOR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. THIS SCENARIO WILL CONTINUE UNTIL SOME GAS IS BURNED OUT OF THE GAS TANK. AFTERWARDS THE CARS RUNS FINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THE INSPECTION BECAUSE THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP OR ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN TO TURN A CORNER. HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AFTER BEING 'FIXED' BY DEALER. DID MEET WITH SERVICE DIRECTOR BUT HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESPONSE. NO POWER WHEN IT HAPPENS.. ALL INSTANCES ARE ON CITY PAVED STREETS. RESTARTS ON FIRST TRY. CHECK FUEL LIGHT COMES ON BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT. DEALER HAS WORKED ON IT 3 TIMES AND REPLACED PARTS BUT IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP OR SLOWING DOWN TO TURN A CORNER. ALL POWER SHUTS DOWN AND CHECK FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. HAS ONLY HAPPENED WITH A PARTIAL TANK OF GAS-NEVER WITH A FULL TANK - REMAINING MILEAGE HAS BEEN BETWEEN 75 AND 123 MILES LEFT. HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT SLOW SPEED. DEALER HAS WORKED ON IT 4 TIMES EACH TIME CLOSING TICKET AS FIXED EXCEPT FOR THE LAST TIME . HAVE TALKED TO SERVICE DIRECTOR ABOUT PROBLEM WITH NO RESULTS. VEHICLE HAS 123000 MILES.

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.

AFTER WORK I WAS DRIVING HOME AS USUALL DOWN A VERY BUSY MAIN ROAD WITH ALOT OF TRAFFIC AND LIGHT CONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS. I WAS ABOUT 25 MIN AWAY FROM HOME WHEN I WAS BEGINNIGN TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE AND EXCELLERATE OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE. AS I BEGAN TO GET OVER WITHOUT A WARNING OR NOTICE MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY WHEEL WITHOUT EXCESSIVE FORCE. AS I CONTINUED TO COST INTO THE OTHER LANE AND GRAB AHOLD OF THE STEERING I REALIZED NOT ONLY DID THIS SHUT OFF BUT THE ENGINE DID AS WELL. I GUIDED THE CAR TO THE SAFEST PLACE I COULD (STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. HUNDREDS OF CARS DROVE BY HONKING AND SWEARING AT ME LEAVING ME STUCK IN MY VEHICLE AS IT WAS TO UNSAFE TO GET OUT. AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN OF THAT STREESS A HELPFUL OLDER MAN HELPED PUSH ME TO A SAFER PART OF THE STREET UNTIL MY BOYFRIEND COULD GET TO ME AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED HOME. AFTER A WEEK AND A HALF AND CLOSE TO 500 LATER I WAS CALLED WITH THE NEWS THAT A CYLINDAR COLLAPSED CAUSING MY ENGINE TO FAIL. IT WOULD BE A 7,000-9,000 REPAIR AT THE LEAST. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT I STILL OWE 13000 ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT BARELY BLUE BOOKS AT 10000. SO WHY WOULD I PAY THE MONEY WHEN I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE IN THE 3 YEARS OF OWNING IT AND HAD NO WARNING OR WAY TO PREVENT IT. I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO A DEALER TO BE MAINTENCED AND NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE SO HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING TO ME. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE THAT DOESNT WORK AND HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE MEAN TIME WHILE I AM DEALING WITH TRYING TO MAKE CHRYLSER RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION. I HAVE DONE MASSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND LEARNED THAT THIS YEAR IS ALREADY KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND OVER 200 COMPAINTS WITH PEOPLE JUST LIKE ME WHO THIS HAPPENED TO. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THIS REPAIR COVERED OR MY CAR PURCHASED BACK.
