While I was driving the car, the car stalled on me at a stop light, its a safety risk and could caused an accident at anytime, yes its available for inspection. Yes the problem has been reported and inspected by auto shop and dealership. No warning lights it just randomly happened while driving, while I was driving the check engine light popped up then disappeared and 2mintues later my car power was reduced and car shutoff at stoplight.
Yesterday I experienced an SUA incident and nearly lost my life. I was entering a freeway and began to accelerate my car. Suddenly I felt as if the gears kicked and the car began to accelerate on its own to max revolutions. I pressed down on the brakes to see if it would stop and there was heavy resistance. I took my foot on the break and the car began to accelerate and rev completely on its own and the engine felt as if it was going to explode. I luckily was able to jam my foot on the break and pull over to the emergency lane and eventually come to a full stop. From there I put the car in park and removed my foot from the break pedal. Again the car began to jump to full revs with the engine screaming. I turned the car off and on several times and this continued to happen. After waiting one hour I was able to start the car and drive 20 mph back to my home and I will have it towed to a repair shop shortly. If I panicked or was not strong enough to press down on the brake pedal, the car would have accelerated to full speed and I certainly would have died and likely other people would have too.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300C. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle occasionally lost motive power. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while the vehicle was idle. After each failure, the contact was able to restart the vehicle after several seconds. The vehicle had been taken to several dealers and independent mechanics for diagnostic testing however, the mechanics were unable to determine the cause of the failure. Several unknown repairs were made, and several parts were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact researched and found that similar vehicles were experiencing failure. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.
While driving car randomley has M0mentary loss of power. There is a bell sound and then the car restarts, but it drops out of cruise control and sometimes has check engine light, or other dash lights. Usually lights clear upon restart. This has happened from Nov 2019 to present.
Car is losing power and won't turn over when trying to start. After a few hours it will start and run fine until you turn it off again. New starter, new battery, new aternator wires fixed. Dealership doesn't know what's wrong with car

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

My 2006 Chrysler 300C 5.7L starting stalling after filling the tank and has progressively gotten worst. My car now stops while idle, at traffic lights, and has even stop while making a turn into traffic. I have taken it into the dealership who has tried to charge me labor to investigate the problem (thousands) but, ultimately claim that they do not know what the problem is. After research, I have found that their are thousands of owners with my make and model having the same issue. I also found that Chrysler's solution is to change the gas tank, which they claim should fix the issue. The dealership changed the tank under their extended warranty and this has not fixed the stalling problem. After doing more research I found that Chrysler did a recall on this same stalling issue for the pacifica mini van, but did not include my make and model. The issues are found in 2005-2006 Chrysler 300C hemi 5.7L engines. I don't understand how this dangerous issue has gone so long without a recall. Someone is going to get seriously injured or killed by stalling while driving in traffic. Meanwhile my car still has not been fixed.
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.
The car just died on me in full traffic, traveling at 45 miles per hour. Cars speeding all around me, and mine just died. Dealer claimed that the computer died and it fried the 2 fuel pumps for a total expense to fix of more than $2000. This is such a terrible design on Chrysler's part that it could do this. It should be a recall and get paid for by the manufacturer. The dealer that did the work was perfomance Chrysler at 95 loop rd, dayton, oh 45459
All dashboard lights blink on and off and then headlights go off and interior lights and dash all turn off - while driving! this is extremely unsafe! it was dark when this last happened and I was barely able to pull over to turn the car off and back on again. This has happened many times in the past 2 years. When you turn the car back on it seems to be ok. But very scary and unsafe.
My 300C 2006 engine shuts off. Sitting at a light or driving. Dealer had it, spent $1800. They did not fix. Have it at a garage. They have replaced most sensors. Just spent 390 dollars on a new controller board (brain) its now more frequent. Started happening 2 years ago but not this frequent. Did a coolant flush, transmission flush,
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300C. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. On several occasions, the vehicle independently restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery and ignition module needed to be replaced, and the vehicle needed a tune-up. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
Initially the vehicle began to shut off and restart at various speeds ranging from 45-65 mph, mileage on the vehicle when the problem surfaced was approx.138,000. In 2016 after replacement of the PCM, fuel tank, alternator, solenoid, battery, and cam shaft sensor the problem sporadically reoccurred every 300 miles, and failure has increased in frequency and now occurs regularly but sporadically at low speeds of 1-20 causing a full stall with no restart. The failure is typically at a light and when tempting aa turn. It has been observed during the high speed incidents, all electrical systems are in failure- dash lights go off, the analog RPM and speedometer gauges spontaneously drop to zero, and then the entire system restarts and gauges resume normal readings, all occurring within a few seconds at most. Additionally the vehicle will not start after sitting for 3 hours, the electrical works but engine will not turn over. After each incident car was taken for a diagnostic reading and either no fault code was registered, or an engine communication failure code occurs. This has been an on going issue for the past 2 years.
Car randomly stalls, at any speed, dash lights flash on and off, wipers turn on by them self, horn sounds by itself. Had it at the dealership for 2 months, had at sometimes 40+ codes come up on the computer. Changed multiply modules they cant figure it out
