This is a serious safety concern regarding the shift interlock system on my 2005 Chrysler 300. When the vehicle is in Park, particularly in traffic, and the light turns green, I am forced to lift the coin attachment and manually press the pink interlock just to change gears or accelerate. This creates a dangerous situation where I am unable to move the vehicle promptly, potentially leaving me vulnerable to a rear-end collision. The issue stems from Recall 05V462000, which specifically addresses a shift interlock...

The vehicle began to shutter in reverse. This went on for about a week. Transmission fluid level was checked and it was in the normal range. My husband and I were driving it and made a sharp turn to find us in a spot to continue forward and go off a cliff or back up and get out of traffics way. He backed up and we heard a clunk. The car continues to drive forward with no issues but it acts as of it's in neutral when you put it in reverse. No codes are showing either.

Fuel sending unit cracks which lets raw fuel pool directly under backseat.

The fuel sending unit is poorly manufactured and cracks and leaks raw fuel directly under the back seat.

Strong fuel smell in cabin and outside of car when gas tank is full. Discovered gas in the cabin sitting on top of the fuel tank under the passenger-rear seat. Multiple posts in online forums confirm this is a known issue. Vehicle owner ordered a new o-ring to attempt repair. Area around fuel pump under driver's-rear seat was not affected. No warning lights, notices or performance issues. Only indication is strong gas fumes in car after filling up the gas tank (auto shutoff at pump, not topped off) which...

The fuel tank gasket failed. When fuel car to full the gas seeps out and puddles on top of access area under rear passenger seats and fills car with gas fumes. Only seeps out when you fill car to full

When the fuel tank is topped off the vehicle stalls 2-6 times until the excess fuel is burned off. This has happened on the road, in parking lots, intersections, etc. It causes total loss of power & power steering. Additionally, I usually have to shift to Park, Neutral, Reverse, Drive, Reverse, and then drive again in order to get the transmission to lock back in forward gearing. Causing me to have to additionally pull over, or stop, when/wherever the incident occurs.

Reverse gear went out after vehicle slipped once, acted as if in neutral when in reverse and pressing gas pedal down but would not move. Had local towing and mechanic shop in Gower Missouri check transmission fluid level in which was found to be a quart low on transmission fluid. Car had been extremely well maintained and all recommended maintenance services completed by previous owners. Able to drive car in all other gears, codes p0007 code appear with no check engine light or any type of warning or indication...

Engine stalls after fueling tank. This has been confirmed by an independent service center. Spent months and lots of dollars trying to fix problem. Did research on internet and found chrysler had issued bulletin 14-002-14 showing there a problem with chryser 2005 and 2006 300's stalling. The fuel pump is in the tank and not monitored by engine computer. The fuel pump had gone bad causing the car to stall. Called chrysler and they said that the bulletin did not cover my model. Can not use car now because it is a safety hazard. Need help on this issue.

Car keeps stalling after I fill it up while driving and sometimes while in park

Gas tank hairline crack on fuel pump and bad gaskets.

Occasionally the lights on the dashboard and inside the vehicle would randomly blink off and on. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. During the diagnostic test, the electrical fuses continued to malfunction. No further information was available. The manufacturer was not yet notified. The failure mileage was 137,000.

I was very excited to purchase my 2005 Chrysler 300C, but there was a recall on the airbag which was taken into the dealer and replace but my grandson had accident in March 2018 and the airbag didn't disengage. I contact the customer service and they said that I should have contact them before the car was removed from the wrecker company but I wasn't aware that I to notify them. I send them picture of the car and the insurance adjuster can verify that the airbag didn't disengaged. I'm writing to express my dissatisfaction with the process for recall failure and how to report the incident. Thank you for listening but I have contact a lawyer.

Our 2005 Chrysler 300 stalls and will not restart for many minutes after we refuel it. Chrysler stated they have extended the warranty to a life time coverage if you are experiencing this issue you are able to get it covered under said warranty. We have contacted them and they state this one is not covered. How can we go about getting this covered. It obviously has the issue they have recalled and should be covered!! Thank you, Shannon Hainzlsperger

My 2005 Chrysler 300 has been having an issue with the fuel tank. When you get fuel in it then it won't stay started. It keeps stalling out repeatedly. It also stalls out randomly under 25mph. Both are dangerous as it may cause you to get T-boned leaving gas station as it repeatedly stalls. Also it stalled out on the freeway on-ramp under 25mph. This is also dangerous as you lose your steering at the same time. Someone could have been injured or killed. And Chrysler needs to take this more seriously than they did...
