Hello all,
I just bought a 2006 300C, hemi AWD, about 3 weeks ago and just registered with this site. I got it from a dealer, with no warranty, with c. 100K on it, and though it needed some things (tires, ball joint, flexpipe repair, etc.) the body is great, the interior is pretty good, and it ran good. A few days after I bought it, it started stalling every once in a while. I have an appointment to take it to the dealer but in the meantime I thought I'd pick your brains a bit. I know about the gas tank issue, but my problem seems unrelated to filling up or the amount of gas which is in the car. The dealer told me that if it is the gask tank issue, it would only happen right after filling up. Is that true? Just wanna make sure the dealer doesn't try to give me the brush-off.
I saw another thread on this page -- (search for Erratic bucking, ESP, BAS) where member "NYC SRT" had an issue very similar to mine and it turned out to be the alternator. So maybe it is that rather than the gas tank issue.
Mine is putting out codes like U0100 (lost communication with ECM/PCM) and P0522 (Engine oil pressure sensor circuit low voltage) and PO420 (Catalyst system efficiency below threshhold bank 1). That last one may be related to the flexpipe issue at the cat on one side, which has since been fixed.
When I got the car, there was an extra PCM sitting in the trunk. The guy at the dealership when I called to make an appointment seemed to think it was a clue, that the previous owner had replaced it in his search for the problem. If so, it didn't fix it.
So, has anyone else had an experience like mine? Does this sound like fuel tank, PCM, oil pressure, or something else entirely? I really appreciate your help. I love the car other than the fact that it dies on me at unpredictable times. I would like to have some info before I take it in, because I have not had a real good experience with my local dealer. A few years ago I brought my truck there ('02 Ram 2500 V10) because the AC stopped working. They said it had a leak in the evaporator, and I spent a ton of money to have it fixed, but it still loses all of its refrigerant after maybe a month, and they can't find the leak (despite dye). But it is too inconvenient for me to go to the next-nearest Chrysler dealer.
Thanks in advance! ::smile::
