• Air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA15001

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe14-016 in june 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in florida or puerto rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.During the course of pe14-016, odi determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers.Nonetheless, at odis insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation.The regions recalled initially included florida, puerto rico, hawaii, and the u.S. Virgin islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures.As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to takata for testing.Takatas initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from florida.Accordingly odi requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the gulf states and other coastal areas.Takatas testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions.During pe14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.Also during pe14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically california and north carolina.Accordingly, odi requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls.Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity.Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing.All test ruptures reported by takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time.Odis investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.The five odi reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492

• Engine stall investigation # PE13016

  During pe13-016, chrysler identified a condition in model year (my) 2005 through 2006 chrysler 300, dodge charger and magnum vehicles equipped with 5.7l and 6.1l 8-cylinder hemi engines that may result in engine stall after refueling when the vehicle is stopped or travelling at low speeds. According to chrysler, the multifunction control valve (mfcv) fuel shutoff float integrated into 19-gallon fuel tanks can swell in a stuck open position allowing an overfill condition.This condition causes fuel to enter into the purge line which may result in engine stall after refueling.Chryslers investigation determined that the problem was related to dimensional changes/swelling of the float when exposed to fuels with high ethanol content.Chrysler and its supplier, stant, developed new fuel soak test requirements to address the condition and extended the warranty period on 19-gallon fuel tanks to lifetime coverage.The owner letter mailing began in january 2014.See the investigative file for copies of chryslers owner letter.The office of defects investigation (odi) analyzed 1262 complaints related to engine stall that were provided by chrysler or submitted to odi from consumers.In total, there were 299 unique reports indicating that the fuel system allowed an overfill condition after refueling, and the predominant failure mode identified involved stalling when stopped or travelling at low speeds.The complaint counts shown in this resume include incidents in which enough detail was available to verify the symptoms were related to the defect condition identified by chrysler.The condition that is causing the majority of stalling incidents in the subject vehicles occurs at a stop or low speed and allows the vehicle to be restarted immediately.The condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by chryslers extended warranty. This preliminary evaluation is closed.

Fuel vapor was leaking into our car through air vents and from fuel pump itself. It caused the car to fail and not start. Had to replace fuel pump, yet same thing keeps happening. Now gasoline leaks from the outside underneath the car (when driving, or parked but with car turned over) where the fuel pump is non stop.

Back in feb.2014 you closed an investigation on the 2006 chrysler 300c saying it was a gas tank causing the engine to stall because chrysler said they would replace the gas tanks. If you would have done your job right. You would have seen there was more then gas tank problems. There are hundred's of us still having stall problems. The dealerships don't how to fix these vehicles. And chrysler acts like there's no problem. Go to www.Carcomplaints.Com. There are 32 complaints just on their site. There's all kind of people in chrysler forums that don't know what to do. A lot of people have been in accidents because of their engines stalling what do people have to die before you guys do your job.

My 2006 chrysler 300c stalls at stop lights. Going 30 miles and higher the tac will drop to zero and with in seconds the car will jerk and it's running again. When the car dies all the dash lights flash off and on, the check engine light, the lighting bolt, all of them and when it's done doing this. The check engine isn't on. So you can't get a code to read. Dec. 28 2020 my wife went to the store and she had our grand daughter in the car. She went to make a left into the shopping center when the car died. The on coming car had to serve to keep from hitting her. I've been to the dealer and they can't figure it out. Been to three mechcanics and they can't figure out the problem. If you go to any chrysler 300c forums, there are a lot of people having the same problem. They have the same answer dealers and mechcanics don't know what the problem is. Car complaints has 45 complaints alone. This is very serious. If it hasn't happened yet, it will. This problem is going to get someone killed or hurt real bad.

Cut off when tank full of gas can't put but 3/4 of a tank in it when are going slow it stalls out

The fuel tank leaks fuel into the cabin amy any time the tank is filled more than half way up; that or any time it is more than a quarter full and driven on a steep hill. This has been happening for about 7 or 8 years or more now...It started in around 2012 i think, when the car had just over 100,000 miles on it. I am never able to fill up my gas tank because of it. , and if i need to go up or down a steep hill (and there are steep hills and driveways all over the area i live in), the fuel leaks into the car and the fumes are very strong.
