Description of the problem | When i would fill up with gas my car would stall and shut off as i approached a traffic light to stop or slow to make a turn. I contacted chrysler on may 15, 2013 about my car. I was told to take it to the dealer and i did but they say without the engine light coming on they would have to keep the car 4 to 5 days and break it down. Then i read in the paper that you has closed the investigation into engine stalling in some 2006 chrysler cars after the company extended the fuel warranty. No one contacted me about the extended warranty (they should have after i contacted them of the problem). I emailed them again and they said that the extended warranty had expired. The fuel tank problem was and probably is on a lot of 2006 chrysler and because they never notified anyone of the problem we are responsible for the bill. I had been having trouble with my car for about two months before i contacted them. I would fill up with gas and start home and approaching a traffic light to stop my car shut off with no warning and no engine light ever came on. Got it started and came to the next light and started to make a left turn and it shut off again and on coming traffic was approaching. Got it started in time and going into the garage of my house and it stopped again. At first i thought it was the gas i was using but, no matter if it was exxon, citgo or bp it all was the same. Stalling and cutting off were a regular occurrence. I didn't get to go on vacation last summer because i didn't know what was happening to my car. It was a night mare. I think chrysler did me wrong in not contacting me about the extended warranty after i had contacted them about the problem i was having. |
