“We purchased a 2005 Chrysler 300C new in march of 2005, since that time we noticed the car pulls to the right, and over say several months the problem got worse, I replaced to driver side outer tie rod end around august of 2007, then early 2009 the same thing happened to the passenger side, it's april 2011 and I'm about to replace the tie rod end for a second time on the drivers side.”
NHTSA complaint #10395694, filed 2011-04, 23,000 miles“A/c has never ran cold since we purchased this vehicle, we went to the dealer numerous times over the years to see if it was a recall on this vehicle, but each time the dealer claimed no recall on the 2005 Chrysler 300C A/C system, we even checked the web for recalls but we found nothing. …”
NHTSA complaint #10462380, filed 2012-06, 18,972 miles“2 different times this vehicle will not go out of park and strands me. I have seen many online complaints.also and crysler recalled chargers and dodges but have not recalled the chryster 300's for the same problem. There is a cheap part that breaks and causes the gear lock up and the whole steering assembly has to be replaced per Chrysler at a high price. Should be recall as with chargers and dodge products.”
NHTSA complaint #10443866, filed 2012-01, 114,000 miles“Car stalls about 1 mile after filling up with gas. Has stalled going low and high speeds, leaving me with very little control of the vehicle .a mechanic recommended that I fill up before its under half full but that doesn't seem to help any. Now I fill up before I go into a nearby grocery store and afterwards I start the car a few times and it seems to prevent it from stalling. Last week my husband decided to drive it to work (long drive) and didn't take my advice during fill up and it stalled shortly after getting on the highway.”
NHTSA complaint #10566210, filed 2014-02, 115,000 miles“This problem only after fill the gas tank. After pulling away from the pump and pulling into traffic the car died and won't start until you put in park. This happens until some of the fuel has been used up. I would have it happen make it home. Then the next time I drive it the car will die until its been driven enough to use up some fuel. This dangerous because it happen as you slow down or start up. I have had it die while turning and lose all controls because it dies! The only way to combat this is to not fill the tank. …”
