| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2005 chrysler 300c hemi. three months ago, i put unleaded 87 octane gasoline in the tank. i drove a few blocks and the engine stopped suddenly in mid-drive. i had a difficult time restarting the car and when i did, it took a few seconds before it would engage in gear. i took the car to the dealership to check, and they advised me that the engine computers have to reajust to the lower octane. since that time, i have only put mid-octane (89 octane). whenever i allow the tank to be lower than a quarter of a tank and i refill with 89 it still stalls in mid-drive and hard to start with the transmission not engaging immediately. i am concerned that the car will stall in the middle of an intersection which could lead to serious injury or death. *jb |
