Description of the problem | I drive a 2006 300c hemi w/60k miles. I bought this car from a friend. This car has been in this city since 2006. Mid day temps 105'. I was running errands in town. I had stopped at 7 different locations, turned the vehicle off and a few minutes later returned to the car and continued with my errands. I was in the car sitting at a 4 lane intersection waiting for my turn and i looked down at the dash and the oil can light came on, then traffic started to move and i couldn't, my car had stalled. I turned off the a/c unit, the radio and put it in park. I tried 6 or so times to get the car to start but it wouldn't . I engaged my flashers while other drivers were honking and driving around me. I left it in traffic and got to the sidewalk out of danger. I was calling for help when a motorist pulled up behind my car and asked whats wrong. I told him it just died, sitting still waiting for our turn to go thru the intersection. He got in the car that had been sitting there for about 5 minutes and it started right up and he drove it to a safe parking lot. I parked the car in my garage and there it sits. I am afraid to get stranded in traffic again. I did some research on the web and found that chrysler announced on feb 13, 2014 chrysler extends lifetime warranty on 2006, 5. 7 and 6. 1 hemi fuel tanks. Apparently, no one has died yet so it does not quality for a recall but this is a known problem. I would like to know how i can qualify for this warranty? |
