I have my car at the Moss Bros Dealership in Riverside Ca. now for 5 days to try and repair this Safety Issue! 3/28/23. Car has stalled approximately 20 times, 4 times which were on the freeway. The car will start up and run fine for several days and then it acts up. Could be a number of things, but with no codes, pretty hard to diagnose the stalling issue.

Transmission is sometimes shaking when goes into certain gears. Transmission pops out of gear randomly. And I have to stop go into neutral then back into gear. My friend has the same car and says he has this problem too. Sometimes it will randomly downshift or up shift when it shouldn't.

Car completely shuts off out of nowhere even going 55 mph on the highway, almost caused a major accident! starts jumping gears mainly when the RPM is at 1 going into 2. when this happens the lights in the car flicker. After the car dies out, when you restart it its stuck in neutral even though you are in drive. Once you shut it off again and restart it, its as if nothing was wrong. There is a brand new alternator and a brand new battery in the car and it still shuts down whether you're going 55 on a highway or sitting at light ready to take off and it dies out then as well. I have children, this is very dangerous and scary! I have read that many individuals are having this same exact issue, please do something before someone gets seriously hurt. Thank you
Problem: Momentary loss of power, check engine and etc lights flash. Sometimes stalls completely (when very slow or stopped). It has stopped on me a couple of times while turning. To stall while turning across traffic is unsafe. Parts replaced so far: Gas tank (recall) gas pump accelerator pedal diagnosis: Apparent intermittent connection at the PCM. Last repair attempt(11/29/17) the technician repaired the connection by aligning the pins (apparently some had pushed through the board) & cleaning the connection. It has worked fine for about 2 weeks since then, but is failing again. The technician now says there is a problem with the PCM (powertrain control module), possibly due to broken solder joints on the board that cannot be repaired. There are currently no pcms available from dealers and there are 67 units on backorder in the past few weeks... many with similar failure modes. From the repair shop: "diagnosed and traced multiple faults to communication loss at power train control module. Removed unit from holder and while engine is running if the unit it tapped or shaken the engine will stumble or stall. - contacted computer repair shop and this is very common issue for several Chrysler in last month or so. The main processor gets loose on circuit board but the contacts are so tiny repair is not possible. No local dealers have unit and there are 67 on back order in last weeks."

2006 Chrysler 300C | engine stall while driving | possibly tipm-related I purchased my 2006 Chrysler 300C just short of 6 months ago. Within the first week, as I was taking a left hand turn the ignition completely shut off. While the power was still active, I could not drive the car until I turned over the vehicle to restart the car. Thinking it was possibly a fringe issue I ignored to issue. Fast forwarding to today, my wife and I have experienced roughly 25-50 occurrences of the vehicle shutting off while the vehicle was in motion. I have been paying for a vehicle that only seems to work when it feels like it and what concerns me most is that every day I drive this vehicle I am endangering the lives of my wife and five children.

Engine will start, car will not shift out of park. Just called Chrysler. They will tow at a cost of $50 to me. Chrysler will tow to the dealer to fix the problem that they are aware of per tsb K39, at a cost to me to fix, to be reimbursed at some mythical date Chrysler deems acceptable. I will ride my unicorn to work tomorrow...
