II own a 2005 300C with 1001,500 miles. I had a problem with the car running out of gas when the gage was still showing gas in the tank wile driving in city streets, and once in highway. Luckily I was in the right lane. I complained to the dealer in two occasions of this occurrence. Finally the tank was replaced around 2014. After that, I went back to the dealer on several occasions complaining that after filling my tank with gas there was a strong smell of fuel. They keep telling me there was nothing wrong. Finally in October 2019. I took car back and was told there was a crack on the at top of fuel tank pump housing R/H, and gas was leaking from the attaching ring and the rubber hose and accumulating on some cavities at top of pump. The dealer quoted me about a thousand dollar for the job, and needed keep my car for 3 days. I got a second opinion and was told this has being happening for a long time. I eventually had the car repaired at the second location for less than $450 dollar including parts, and the was car fixed in 4 hours not 3 days and a thousand dollars. Also! I had an incident were the factory battery in the car exploded in the trunk of the car wile I was driving. Approximately 2011.
The shift won't work it's stuck on park and I saw the K39 notification which kind of explains what happened and we have already tried to unlock it with the pink button and the car turn on good and everything.

Comments the dash lights and the headlights flicker off and on at night. They come on in the off position and turn off in the on position. This has been going on for almost a year. I have not had it checked out for fear that it will be costly. Anyone have suggestions on a resolution? dash, interior lights, door locks, and trunk. Don't work trouble lights all flash then headlights and dash lights go out. I turn the headlight switch from "auto" to "manual" and the headlights come back on.

Low oil levels, oil light and check engine light always on. Kept taking the car in to have it checked, we were told nothing was wrong, just keep adding oil.

Also, because it caused the lights to be on for so long, I now need to have the computer replaced that controls the sensors for those.

My 2005 Chrysler 300 milage 103,269 is having problems decelerating while driving down the road in the middle of traffic. It's been to the Chrysler dealership 3 times now and they said nothing is wrong. When this problem occurs it won't go over 200rpms. I let it set and the next day it'll be fine again until I drive it for a bit. The lighting bolt looking light stsys on. They replaced the throttle body, power control module, module power train control and T/body. $1800 later and the complaining to 3000+ customers at my work I wish I would of never purchased a Chrysler. They are the worst people to deal with. After driving by the dealership on my way to work for two weeks and looking at my car sit I was furious. $750 for a rental for three weeks (a month ago) and now still no car! I've been stuck waiting for a ride, missed work and missed ball games for my kids over this problem. I'm just thankful I've managed to not get into a wreck over this since I've read others have. That's the only thing as a Chrysler owner I'm happy about. Thanks to god!
