Power Train · at 150,000 miles · reported Jul 24, 2018
The vehicle stalled while driving rendering it uncontrollable and with no power on the highway with speeds of 55 and over without warning. The vehicle has not started since the onset of the issue. After many costly repairs, my mechanic has labelled the issue as a bad/malfunctioning powertrain control module. The fuel pump, sending unit, and crank sensor have been replaced with no change. This is a common issue for this specific model. It has not started since november of last year.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) · reported Sep 22, 2017
Vehicle had a delayed start. While in motion the car would deaccelerate, slow down, and misfire. The esp/ABS indicator light would come on and an alert would continue to sound until the car was shut off. The car may or may not start and when started it continues to alert the next day. The car continues to misfire and driving over 30 MPH is unsafe. The car has been taken to a mechanic several times but has never been properly fixed.

I was leaving work and started my cay and went to put it in reverse and nothing happen. It would not come out of park. The gear was locked in park . I called a tow truck, and the tow truck driver informed me that there has been a recall on the gear shift for chrysler 300s .I call the chrysler dealership and they told me that "yes there has been a recall on that particular part, but not on my year vehicle.

Vehicle's engine shut off while driving like the key would be pulled out, would not start right away, some times would not start at all before a trip. It happens daily and after going to 3 mechanics and 1 chrysler dealership the issue cannot be identified. No codes are stored and therefore they said it's working fine. Do I need to get into an accident before this problem is addressed? I know about many people having the same issue with the same unidentified error. They have this problem with the new models and they should start checking the old one as well. It is definitely an ignition problem…

I was driving as usual, went to my grandmothers house. Stayed about 20 minutes. When I left I started the car, went to put it in gear and nothing . It would not come out of gear. I had it towed monday and the tow truck driver informed me there had been a recall in the gear shift on other year chrysler 300. I called a chrysler dealership and they told me that yes it had been a recall on that particular part but not on my yr vehicle which is a 2005. If its a problem in other yr 300's then why not mine. Obviously it can happen to any year if its already had a recall on other year and the same…
