I NEED to know if there are ANY 5.7 HEMI 300c's out there that had an engine fire???? PLEASE let me know and who I can talk to about it??????

 

Mine was abducted by aliens and had a littany of experiments done to it Including the dreaded Tailpipe probe. Im sorry I couldnt resist. I have been a member for a while and have never heard of such a strange phenomena

 

Been with this Forum for over 3 years and have never heard of that. Why are you asking?

 

Mine suffers from a great deal of combustion internally within the engine. So much, that it causes a great deal of noise from the tail pipe.

 

@300cBoy... You need patience. Someone will come along. Sometimes it takes a day or so for a meaningful reply.

 

There was a recall in 2006 for the 2.7L, but not the 5.7L.

Here is one thread where a Charger caught fire.
Need some help. had a minor fire in the engine bay - LX Forums Modern Mopar Muscle

I believe the pic of the Charger also randomly caught fire. But I don't know where I got this pic.

 

None I know of!

 

I have had 2 300c's sold them and bought an jag XF and bought my 07 300c back it just hit 9000 miles today and I was driving it today put it in park and turned it off, got out and about 3 min later I saw big flames coming out of my engine so I called 911 and 2 min later my gas tank exploded, this all happened about 5 hours ago, the fire chief said it was electrical or the fuel line??? and it was the 7th 05 and up chrysler 300 that he saw on fire!!! I am SO done with chryslers!!!!! WTF!!!! I had an OEM mopar cold air intake on it and stealth auto HID's on it and an OEM mopar trailer hitch on it and that's it!!! Why would it catch on fire???? Is there any RECALS???? I found out today the HEMI is made in MEXICO???? YUCK!!! I am going to make chrysler PAY!!! for this. That's why I need to talk to other 300 owners if there 300 have caught on fire??? I could of really BEEN hurt bad but I was very lucky and I was not, So what should do about making chrysler pay???? Or recalling my car??? And any chrysler llc big shot names and phone numbers would help!!! Thanks

 

Fire in engine compartment and 2 minutes later the gas tank explodes?

 

YEP!!! It exploded about 2 min later I had just filled up my car so I guess gas spilled out????? And it spread very fast. I'll post pics soon, But I am calling chrysler and I am going to force them to do something about my 300c.

 

fire

First time I've heard of this ...sorry to hear

 

Any info if previous owner did any electrical work or fuel line disassembly??

 

mexico yuck? Mexico produces some of the finest tequilla, delicious food and hot woman and to that i say yum!

 

Gasoline, in its liquid form, doesn't explode or even burn for that matter. The vapors are what cause rapid combustion (explosion) and a full tank of fuel would hold less vapor.
I'm not saying your car didn't go up in flames nor that a full tank of fuel wouldn't catch on fire, but an explosion is probably a bit of an exaggeration, eh?

 

sounds fishy, you will get full nada replacement value
you couldnt sell it or trade it in for that go get another one

there is dozens for sale in upstate ny 05's with 13k, 18k on the , for under $19000

 

I think someone hates you.... ex wife, ex girlfriend, mafia, your life insurance beneficiary.... who knows but they tried to blow you up, your lucky they were unsuccessful.

 

Has anyone else seen the movie, Casino? Didn't a car catch fire (blow up) in the movie? I don't think it was a 300 though and I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the ignition....

 

Not safe! That's crazy, I would have been freaking out.



Yes, but that was a car bomb. lol

 

mine goes on fire every time I floor it and theres a funny smell from my seat too.lol,

 

i heard about it but i thought that was an urban myth

 

Cars in movies blow up all the time with the least provocation. Fortunately, its not that way in real life.

 

In reading your panicky sounding posts and paranoid manner (about Chrysler and Mexico of course) I'd suggest checking your Frenemy list first. Also, just as a thought, you may want to start with the dimmer people on that list as it seems they didn't quite get it right.

Best of luck. Maybe switch to something electric...

 

if they were prone to catch on fire there would have been a recall or others here would have surely let people know as there have been none in Australia but you would have to ask all the forums i work for Fire and rescue and there is usually info passed around re fires that are occurring more that once with anything i hope this helps

 

I've been fuking around with chrysler LLC for the last 2 days on my burnt 300c they sent an fire chief to look over my car and I think chrysler is going to replace it with an brand new 300c, but after this I don't think I ever want to drive another 300c again. They think it was my EVIC????? Or the gas line???? Please everyone out there have your 300 checked out!!!! at least do it for me

 

Chrysler has produced over a million LX's and spontaneous combustion does not appear to be very common so I choose not to get paranoid based on an isolated instance of someones car catching on fire. Also, do you think that the 300C is the only model of car to ever have caught on fire? Sounds like you are too neurotic to think rationally. Take a deep breath and realize that living is not risk free.

 

Hmmm interesting.

 

That must have been real scary, it's good you're safe. In my line of work, when something goes wrong, the first question asked is: "What changed?"
