2005 Chrysler 300 Engine cooling Problems

“I starting driving from the intersection the light had just turned green. After getting out of the intersection the car made a loud noise from the rear and stopped and would not move. I had to have the car towed. My work associate who was in the with me said the car sounded like I had just loss my rear-end. When I got the car to my private mechanic he said the rear-end was bad and needed replacing.”

“My 2005 300 has had multi-problems since I bought it brand new in 2005. 1st the water out housing has been replaced twice and Chrysler refuses to admit there is a problem with it, the gear shifter assembly has gone out on it at only 25k, that was not allowing me to shift from park to any gear. The oil pressure switch just went out today, I'm so sick of this car and most of all sick of Chrysler not accepting responsibility for any of this. …”

“My daughter (12yrs.) and I were on the freeway/car pool lane (double yellow lines) and the car stalled/turned off completely. I tried not to panic but I daughter did when the lights, engine and not to mention the steering wheel was very hard to turn. At this time I had to cross over the double yellow line and cut off a few cars who all most rear ended me, all cars honked at me and my little one was freaking out. It took 24 minutes to get off the freeway because it kept stalling and wouldn't continue to stay on. This is a very un safe situation, I pray no one gets hurt from this. …”

“My engine has been ticking from the beginning about 2 days after I bought it. Cash! For my dad's birthday.. Brand new from town and country dealership. They told me to bring it back, this is in conyers ga. I took it back they kind of joke around said wasn't that the 1 on the show rm flr I said yes. Then they said maybe when they drove it from tenn. It had no oil in it. It is a new engine and it will stop, or the gas cap was not on right and they would fix it. Each time I bought it back the noise would stop for a while then it would come back. …”

“This is my second new Chrysler 300 passenger vehicle that has had the same problem. The problem occurs when the car is put into the reverse position. Once, you start to back-up the car cuts off. The first car was returned to the dealer and exchanged for a second new Chrysler 300. The same problem exists. The dealers mechanic said the problem was the throttle . I believe this is a serious problem, because if it continues to cut off -- another car may hit me and cause an accident.”
