Problem with 2.7 liter engine. Dealership said it was negligence on my part. Said I didn't do my oil changes correctly, said I would need a new engine. My extended warranty nor Chrysler would cover vehicle. Took it to another auto service shop. They said I didn't need a new motor. They clean out the heads and engine and said that it was not my fault that the 2.7 liter engine Chrysler engine had these problems from day one. I also was informed that there was others told the exact things, that they were at fault and Chrysler wouldn't pay. The professional tech's of Chrysler also advise against buying this model. Also look on the internet and there were people with 20,000 miles with the same problem told the same thing by Chrysler. Also Chrysler does not offer this engine sizes in the new models because of the problems with the 2.7 liters. My car was used at purchase and I average about 10,000 miles a year.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that the gear shifter lever failed to operate unless the shifter cover was removed and the cable was loosened. When driving in cold weather temperatures, the transmission would cause the vehicle to jerk with hesitation. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id numbers 05V460000 (power train:automatic transmission); however the vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for repair. In addition, both engine fan motors failed to operate and one of the plastic fan motor blades caused a burning odor whenever driving. In addition, the fog light lens cover was melted. The contact replaced both fog light assemblies. The vehicle was repaired at an independent repair shop. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000. The VIN was unavailable.
After refilling the vehicle with gasoline I travel about a mile from the service station and while coming to a traffic light the vehicle RPM began to decrease until the car engine shut off; I was able to restart the engine and the vehicle drove a short distance and began to stall again. I restarted the vehicle and was able to get the vehicle off the road into a parking lot; after sitting briefly I restarted the vehicle and drove it to tire kingdom to have it checked, the technician scan the vehicle and determined that there was no codes available to determined what caused the malfunction. He took the vehicle for a test drive but was not able to duplicate the discrepancy; in his opinion since the vehicle tank had just got filled more that likely the problem was caused by a vapor lock. I was told since the problem could not be duplicated to continue with my travel and if the problem returned to return the vehicle back for evaluation.
