Description of the problem | I stopped at a stop sign and the car stalled. It started right up, but had a hard time finding drive when i put it into drive. After that it ran fine. This same problem has occurred many times since. It happens randomly with no warning. It seems to happen more often after refueling, but also happens at any fuel tank gauge reading. Also the car hesitates at freeway speeds on occasion, but doesn't stall when this happens. I took the car to two dealers and after spending $500 they couldn't fix the problem. I called chrysler and they were no help. My wife won't drive the car and i fear it will stall pulling out into traffic after a stop. After some investigation i have realized that thousands of 2006 300c owners have had the same problem and chrysler is fully aware of this issue. How the dealers can pretend they have never heard of this problem and take money from me to fix the problem with my car, knowing they won't fix it, has to be criminal. Safety concerns were never addressed by the dealers or chrysler as well. |
