2005 Chrysler 300C Engine Problems

“Dropped intake valve seats on this hemi engine. Based on my research, this is a known problem on the hemi engines from this time period. Stopped at the store for 20 minutes, came out and tried to start the engine and all I heard was metal on metal as the engine tried to turn over. Engine needs to be rebuilt or need to buy another rebuilt engine.”

“My car stalls while driving periodically stalls when the car is at idle. It even stallls going down the highway at speeds 65. We have changed everything possible except the engine. The car starts right up after stall but will stall in traffic. I have looked at many forums and they all say the same thing numerous complaints of car shutting off while driving. I have checked all recalls. This is a major safety concern. This happens everyday.”

“I have a Chrysler 300C 2005. The car stalled 4 times on the freeway for no apparent reason. It seems to be when I was in traffic and I would slow down to about 30-40 MPH and then the car would stall. Very dangerous. The steering would lock up and I would have to put the car in park to start the car again. Not something you would want to have happen with your family in the car.”

“Every time I fill my gas tank up the car oil light comes on and it stalls. Sometimes it does this 2 or 3 times then it runs ok until its time to fill car up again, then the same thing happens.”

“I was going to check the oil level when the top of the dipstick came off in my hand. It is made of plastic.; I was opening the drivers door, the handle came halfway off, subsequently all handles have done the same thing. The washer fluid does not spray. These problems all happened in the past 3 or 4 years. The vehicle was stationary for these problems. While turning, the steering wheel would not continue too turn, heard a thunk , finally turned but the turn signal mechanism does not work now.”
