I received a letter back from the manufacture listing this car as a Dodge magnum, although car is a Chrysler 300, it is at Chrysler Jeep Eagle in West palm beach fla [xxx] is in the service department, I have been waiting over a week only to be stalled, and also the car was purchased new, at the time I purchased the car the sales man gave me a service book for a Dodge charger and told me its the same thing, why come Chrysler is having such a hard time with the VIN on the vehicle. This is the 2nd trip they made and then told me they was looking for the wrong car. The letter I received stated I told them I purchased the car used not so supposedly this car was new when I bought it. And has already had a slow start up and idle. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

300 8-cyl

  • 4,400 miles
Shortly after starting car, and within a couple of miles, the throttle occasionally stops responding for about 30 seconds and the car will only idle. I have taken to the dealer 4 times, and there are no codes, and occurrence is intermittent and dealer cannot get it to happen. So Chrysler will not do anything about it. This has happened 5 times. The last time it happened when stopped at a light, and could only idle for about 80-100 feet while semi-truck was coming up behind me.
