A couple months back the engine shut down going down the road, computer checked showing the heat sensor went bad ,had it replaced and also installed a new thermostat just in case. yesterday 12/6 2018 took the car out and went to the outlets roughly 25 miles away car ran great . stop for gas on the way back a mile from home, left the station went a 1/4 mile the car shut down again,started right back up went another 1/2 mile and it shut down again, started right back up and went 1/4 mile to the house. had my son in law who is a mechanic do a computer check and nothing shows up. car has 38777 miles on it and garage kept, little dangerous since u loose the steering and brakes when it shuts down, fortunately for me i had a place to pull over to get off the highway. checking with the dealership tomorrow to see if others had this problem. had a very similar problem with my chryler crossfire years back where the car would not accelerate had some close calls at stop signs had to replace the complete acceleration unite had less ...

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.
My chrysler 300c has 114,805 miles on it. i drove it to the gas station before going home. filled it up with gas. went to start it up and it wouldn't. i had to have it towed to the shop. the outside temperature last night was 63. the engine temperature was normal. there were no warning signs. the car drove fine all the way from my office to the gas station which is 33 miles. mechanic says the valve seat has dropped and the engine is completely ruined now. i now have to pay almost $7,000 to get my car driveable again.
Oil light came on at slow speed and engine shut off by it self, on a city street. why?
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.
The cylinder valve seat fell off the cylinder head, then fell down into the piston causing damage to the valves and piston thus the only repair possible is to replace the engine. not sure when this happened because there were no warning signs.
This car will stall at completely random intervals. it has done it at speed, on acceleration, on deceleration, at stops. occasionally the cruise control will not function correctly. the car will also spit, sputter and buck at speeds above 35mph. when this happens, there is a total loss of power steering, brakes, etc. in order to restart the car, it requires being placed into neutral or park, and trying at least 3 times before engine will run again. the car will usually continue to stall 3-10 times. on returning to "drive" the car will usually stay stationary for another 5-10 seconds before surging forward. reverse does not have this effect. car has been checked by several mechanics, who can pull no codes, and don't seem to have any clue what is causing the intermittent issue. it is very dangerous situation, as there is no warning the car is about to stall, and there is no pattern to when it will stall. in googling the issue, i was able to find the chrysler campaign x53 extended warranty on "some" 2006 300cs, but when i called the chrysler dealer to check my vin, i was ...
Whenever i fill up at the gas station about 2-3 minutes later while i'm driving the entire dash board will light up and the car will cut completely off. i have to put in in park and try to restart it about 5 times, each time the oil light comes on and it just stalls, once it does catch the speed fluctuates up and down but about 5 minutes later it happens all over again. i know it has nothing to do with the oil because i had gotten an oil change before i put the gas in the car. this had happened a couple of years ago so i had just stopped filling the car up and this time i forgot. the car cuts off while in motion, you can't turn the steering wheel, it just stops where ever you are, all i could do was cut on the hazards and keep trying to restart it, it sounds like you are trying to restart while it's already on, it makes a screeching sound, and sounds like it's trying to catch.
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.
Takata recall , so i take care of my chrysler 300c 5.7 very well i always check the fluids on the coolent and oil and change my oil when its needed. i was running out of gas on the freeway barely making it to the gas station and i filled up my gas tank, when i tried to starting my car it didnt start. my car just hesitated and i thought my battery was going out but it was a brand new one and my fuel pump was changed a few months prior. also i took my car to get serviced a week prior too at my local pepboys and changed the oil pressure sensor at least thats what they told me what it was. so my car started in the gas station parkinglot and white smoke came out of my exhaust and my car just turned off on me. my car is sitting now collecting dust because it dropped a valve due to the 2005 5.7 hemi design. i believe dodge and chrysler know about this malfunction thats bond to happen whether you take care of your engine or not. i deserve to have a recall on my car ...
Car stalls with no warning or engine lights/codes. while driving(very dangerous!!)
Every time i completely fill my tank my car will occasionally stall at traffic lights or driving. after a few times restarting the engine it will be fine until i fill the tank again. it seems to happen mostly when the tank goes below 1 quarter of the tank. i have seen complaints before from other makes about a fuel float valve in the tank that can send a signal to your computer that the tank is empty and shut the engine off. why is this not a recall for this model? there is definitely a danger in traffic situations.
Normal day driving my vehicle. drove approximately 24 miles to a shopping center in the city. turned the ignition car started as expected. car then died unexpectedly. attempted to get it started to no avail. called a tow truck and had the vehicle taken to a trusted ase certified mechanic a couple miles away. get a call later stating the engine is damaged! mechanic stated that these cars are well known for dropping valves. i proceed to ask what's the damage? these words i would learn to regret... i was given a quote of $4000-$7000 depending on how many parts were affected by this one failed piece. thousands of people in forums are having this issue also. how is it a company doesn't acknowledge a major problem like this and get away with it? i was forced to get a $6000 loan to fix a car with 101k... yea 1,000 miles over warranty! chrysler needs to own up to this problem. *tr
Car dies after fueling. it will sputter then die, it will also die while coming to a stop. after refueling it sputters and dies at gas station but it can happen within the next couple of miles. it will die while pulling out in traffic and extremely dangerous. reading on line this is a common problem and no one can figure it out. it also will not always go back into gear after it dies.
