The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300C. The contact stated that the fuel tank was previously replaced under an unknown extended warranty coverage; however, after the repair, the vehicle experienced a failure. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle and driving at slow speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times while driving and coming to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed each time the failure occurred. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled in the middle of the road during the last failure. The contact was able to push the vehicle to the side of the road with assistance.

2006 CHRYSLER 300C. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO VEHICLE STALLING AND MALFUNCTIONING PCM MODULE. *AS *TR

OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE THE VEHICLE STALLS. IT HAS BECOME A GIVEN THAT AFTER I FILL MY CAR I KNOW AT SOME POINT WITHIN THE FIRST 5-10 MINUTES I WILL START HAVING PROPULSION ISSUES. THE CAR DIES WHEN I'M SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I'M AFRAID TO TRY AND ENTER A FREEWAY DIRECTLY AFTER REFUELING BECAUSE IF I GO TO HIT THE GAS IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TO GO FIND A PARKING LOT AND REV MY ENGINE FOR A WHILE TILL I THINK IT'S SAFE TO PROCEED. I SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS AFTER REFUELING MY CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THE COMPLAINTS AND NHTSA REPORTS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE ANY RECORDS OF ANY FUEL ISSUES WITH THE SRT MODELS SO MY BEST BET WOULD BE TO GO TO MY DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. *TR

IN JANUARY 2013, I FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT HERE ABOUT MY V8 ENGINE STALLING AFTER FUEL REFILL (GASOLINE TANK REPLACEMENT REPAIR BILL WAS $1540.93). THE NHTSA OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION SOON OPENED INVESTIGATION PE13016 INTO THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM. THE ODI INFORMATION REQUEST TO CHRYSLER CITED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, INCLUDING MINE. INVESTIGATION PE13016 WAS CLOSED EARLIER THIS YEAR BY NHTSA BECAUSE THE "CONDITION IS ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER'S EXTENDED WARRANTY" ON 2006 CHRYSLER 300 FUEL TANKS. THE CLOSING SUMMARY REFERS TO CHRYSLER SENDING LETTERS TO OWNERS ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. SINCE I DID NOT RECEIVE AN OWNER LETTER, I TODAY CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER, 1-800-247-9753. THE ASSISTANCE CENTER REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE (BUILT WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME FRAME) CONTAINED A GAS TANK WITH THE SALES CODE "NSKS" AND THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS CARS BUILT WITH THE GAS TANK SALES CODE "NSK." NOTHING IN THE MATERIALS POSTED ONLINE WITH PE13016 INDICATE THAT THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT GAS TANKS, ONLY ONE OF WHICH HAD PROBLEMS. PLEASE, RECONSIDER WHETHER THE CHRYSLER RESPONSE IS ADEQUATE. MY VEHICLE, WITH THE "NSKS" GAS TANK, CLEARLY SUFFERED THE REFILL STALLING PROBLEM ADDRESSED IN PE 13016.

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HAS BEEN SURGING, TRYING TO CUT OUT, AND STALLING AT THE FIRST SEVERAL STOP LIGHTS AFTER FILLING THE TANK UP WITH GAS. CAR STALLS OR TRIES TO STALL SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT CAR WILL NOT DO THIS IF I ONLY FILL THE TANK UP TO 3/4 FULL, BUT IF THE TANK IS FILLED MORE THAN THAT, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER FILL UP. THE CAR WILL TRY TO STALL WHEN STOPPING AT SEVERAL OF THE FIRST TRAFFIC LIGHTS, DRIVING AFTER RESTARTING, OR DRIVING AROUND CURVES. THIS SEEMS RATHER DANGEROUS DRIVING LIKE THIS IN TRAFFIC. I JUST LEARNED ABOUT THE NHTSA PE13-016 THAT CHRYSLER HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE 19 GALLON GAS TANKS TO LIFETIME. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER IS ONLY HONORING A LIMITED AMOUNT OF VEHICLES WHOSE OWNERS HAD FILED COMPLAINTS BEFORE THE INVESTIGATION WAS ENDED. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER IS NOT MEETING IT'S OBLIGATION. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER DEALING WITH ANY RECALL FOR THIS CAR. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER A COMPLETE FILL UP OF GAS FROM THE GAS STATION, AS I WAS PROCEEDING ONTO THE RAMP OF THE INTERSTATE MY CAR STALLED AND CONTINUED TO DIE RIGHT AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE INTERSTATE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND HAD A NEAR MISS FROM A SEMI TRUCK. MY FAMILIES LIFE WAS IN THE HANDS OF A CAR THAT I THOUGHT I TRUSTED AND LEAD TO BELIEVE WAS SAFE IN EVERY WAY. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THE GAS TANKS ON THESE CARS CAN NOT HANDLE A UPWARDS OF 3/4 TANK OF GAS OR MORE. NOW I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO FILL THIS CARS GAS TANK PAST THE HALF MARK AND HAVE TO STOP FREQUENTLY AS I TRAVEL FOR MY JOB. PLEASE HELP GET THE WARRANTY ON THESE GAS TANKS EXTENDED AS I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER IS NO LONGER HOLDING THEIR WORD ON FIXING THE TANKS ON THESE SETS OF CARS TANKS. *TR

PURCHASED A 2006 300C SRT8 IN 2014. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTER THE 1ST REFUELING THE CAR STALLED AND BUCKED AND THEN AFTER A FEW MILES CALMED DOWN. I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS BAD GAS. DURING THE 2ND REFUELING, WITH 93 OCTANE, AND JUST AS THE FUEL CLICKED OFF, THE ENGINE STALLED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN EITHER SITUATION. THE CAR WAS WORSE THAN THE LAST TIME. THE CAR STALLED AT EACH LIGHT ALL THE WAY HOME. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES AND THEN IT STALLED AGAIN AS I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER CONCERNING THIS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ONLY ORDERING 6 REPLACEMENT GAS TANKS A MONTH AND THAT 95% OF THE TIME AN ADDITIONAL FLEX PIPE OR TUBE BREAKS DURING THE REPAIR PROCEDURE AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ADDITIONAL COST. WHAT KIND OF A DEAL IS THAT? I THOUGHT WARRANTY WORK WAS TO BE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C IS BURNING A LOT OF GAS. I DON'T KNOW WHY,MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS A HEMI. WHEN MY GAS HAND GET TO A MARK ARE TWO BEFORE EMPTY, YOU CAN SMELL THE FUEL FROM THE TANK. MY COMPLAIN IS WHY ARE CHRYSLER 300 BURNING SO MUCH GAS? *TR

ENGINE STALLS AFTER FILLING THE TANK. ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHIN 20 MILES OF COMPLETELY FILLING TANK. AFTER SECOND INCIDENT VEHICLE TAKEN TO CHRYSLER DEALER FOR A TUNE-UP, HOWEVER PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS OCCURRED ONCE WHILE ENTERING A PUBLIC PARKING LOT WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FORTUNATELY THE CAR AT LOW SPEED AND ROLLED TO A STOP BEFORE STRIKING ANYTHING. ON ANOTHER OCCASION THIS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE STRUCK FROM BEHIND. TEMPORARY FIX IS TO NO LONGER COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK, GUESSING AT ABOUT 3/4 TANK TO STOP FUELING. PARTIALLY FILLING THE TANK IS NOT A PROPER SOLUTION. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED.

Mileage: 85,000

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH GAS AND ENTERING THE FREEWAY THE CAR STALLED. EVERY TIME I FILL THE CAR UP WITH GAS THE FUEL TANK WILL JUST STALL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK AND LINES REPLACED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND YOU MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART IT; ALL WHILE TRYING NOT TO BE REAR-ENDED BY COMING TRAFFIC. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM TODAY. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE'S NOW A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK, BUT DUE TO THE MASSIVE NUMBER OF RECALLS, THE PART IS ON BACK-ORDER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER SHE ADDED FUEL TO THE VEHICLE IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE CAR STALLED WHEN EXITING THE GAS STATION IN FRONT OF ONCOMING VEHICLES. WE WERE NEARLY REAR ENDED. THE CAR AGAIN STALLED AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT, THEN AGAIN WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. WE HAD A FULL TUNE UP PERFORMED ON THE CAR THINKING THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE, HOWEVER THE CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER A FILL UP. WE ARE NOW FORCED TO LIMIT REFUELING THE CAR TO ONLY ONE HALF TANK TO BE SURE THAT THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STALLING DOES NOT OCCUR PUTTING OUR FAMILY IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THE STALLING OCCURRED AGAIN JUST THIS WEEK AFTER ACCIDENTALLY ALLOWING THE FUEL PUMP TO CLICK OFF PRODUCING A FULL GAS TANK. EVEN KNOWING THAT WE WERE NOW IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WE WERE FORCED TO DRIVE THE CAR ON PUBLIC STREETS WHERE ONCE AGAIN IT STALLED EXITING THE GAS STATION, AT THE STOP LIGHT AND SHORTLY AFTER TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP LIGHT LEAVING OUR FAMILY STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. *TR

AFTER REFUELING, THE CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. ALL THE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. CAR WAS HARD TO RESTART. AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED, IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE YEARS. HAD IT LOOKED AT BY CHRYSLER WHILE STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. LATELY, THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME WE PUT GAS IN THE CAR. IF DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AFTER A FILL UP, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND TEMPORARILY LOOSE ACCELERATION. *TR

WE HAD JUST FILLED THE GAS TANK AND WERE HEADING OFF TO LAS VEGAS FOR A LONG WEEKEND WHEN AS WE DROVE LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY THE CAR STALLED. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND SHE CONTINUED TO JERK AROUND ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AGAIN. WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO A PEP BOYS SO WE PULLED IN AND TOLD THE CLERK WHAT WAS HAPPENING, HE SAID WE MAYBE GOT BAD GAS (MAYBE WATERED DOWN) AND TO TRY A GAS TREATMENT. WE DID AND IT STALLED AGAIN, WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE CAUTIOUSLY AROUND TOWN TESTING HER RELIABILITY. SHE SEEMED FINE SO WE DROVE ON TO VEGAS. SHE PERFORMED WELL FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN DID IT AGAIN AFTER FILLING THE TANK SO AGAIN WE ADDED GAS TREATMENT AND THINGS SEEMED FINE. A MONTH OR SO LATER THE SAME THING AGAIN WITH THE STALLING AFTER FUELING. SO FAR THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 8 TIMES SINCE THE FIRST TIME AND ONLY AFTER FUELING. WE ARE NERVOUS TO DRIVE ANYWHERE NOW. WE HAVE USED VARIOUS GAS STATIONS SO NOT ANY PARTICULAR BRAND MAKES THIS HAPPEN. IT CAN GO FOR SEVERAL WEEKS WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT WE JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MAY OCCUR AGAIN. WE LOOKED IT UP ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND FOUND THAT OWNERS OF CHRYSLER 2006 300C AND MAGNUMS AND CHARGERS ALL EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. PE13-016 WAS REFERENCED AS THE ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION NUMBER INTO THESE OCCURRENCES. CHRYSLER SUPPOSEDLY ISSUED A LIFETIME EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY TO THOSE AFFECTED AND NOTIFIED THEM PRIOR TO JAN. 2014. THE REST OF US ARE SCREWED. I AM ASKING FOR THIS INVESTIGATION TO BE REOPENED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE FAIR TO ALL OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR. MANY PEOPLE HAVE STATED THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR COMPLAINTS SINCE THE INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS INJUSTICE. *TR

AFTER FILLING CAR WITH FUEL AND DRIVE A FEW HUNDRED FEET CAR STARTS BUCKING AND STALLS. RESTARTS AND BUCKS AND STALLS A FEW MORE TIMES THEN RUNS FINE UNTIL NEXT TIME WE FILL UP. WE HAVE STOPPED FILLING CAR UP BUT JUST PUTTING 10 TO 12 GALLONS WHEN WE GET GAS. WE CANNOT FILL THE FUEL TANK UP OR TAKE A SERIOUS CHANCE OF HAVING CAR STALL IN TRAFFIC AS WE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS. I HAVE ASKED BECK CHRYSLER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR FIX FOR THIS AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANGER NEVER HEARD OF PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS AND ONLY FIX IS TO PAY OVER A $1000.00 FOR A NEW GAS TANK AS THIS IS ONLY FIX. I HAVE REPLACED VAPOR CANISTER AND VAPOR CONTROL VALVE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS FOR NO CHARGE AS IT IS PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM AND ALSO WORRY MY WIFE AND I WILL BE HURT OR KILLED BY THIS FLAW IN THE FUEL TANK. I HOPE WE CAN GET SOME HELP TO GET THIS REPAIRED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLES SPUTTERS, STALLS AND DIES AFTER FILING FUEL TANK. CHRYSLER ENTERED INTO AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM TO RESOLVE YOUR INQUIRY PE13-016. CHRYSLER AGREED AS A RESULT OF THAT INQUIRY TO EXTEND A LIFETIME FUEL -TANK WARRANTY ON THE 153,817 EFFECTED CARS. CHRYSLER WILL NOT HONOR THAT WARRANTY AGREEMENT ON MY VEHICLE.. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ENCOURAGE CHRYSLER TO HONOR THE WARRANTY AND REPLACE MY FUEL TANK AND FAULTY FLOAT VALVE PER THE AGREEMENT THEY ENTERED WITH YOU? PREVIOUSLY I WAS REFERRED TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION WHO INDICATES THIS IS NOT A ISSUE THEY CAN PROVIDE ME ASSISTANCE. WHO ENFORCES THE AGREEMENTS NHTSA HAS MADE WITH CHRYSLER?

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT STARTED OCCURRING 12000 MILES AGO. TODAY WAS THE LAST STRAW. AFTER FILLING MY TANK OVER THIS PAST YEAR, I'VE LEARNED THAT I CAN ONLY FILL MY TANK TO 3/4 FULL TO AVOID THE STALLING AND SPUTTERING. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO HAVE MY IGNITION TURNED ON SO THAT I CAN WATCH WHEN THE FUEL GETS TO 3/4. THIS ALONE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD SPARK. TODAY I FILLED IT TO 3/4 FOREVER IT SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP JUST BEFORE IT GOT TO 3/4... WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE FULL INDICATOR WAS FULL. I KNEW THIS MEANT I WOULD HAVE A SCARY RIDE HOME. IT STALLED LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND TWO MORE TIMES WHILE WAITING AT THE FIRST LIGHT. I MADE IT ABOUT A MILE AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND IT CUT OUT AT ABOUT 35. I WAS MAKING THE TURN WITH NO POWER AND ALMOST HIT A POLE. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ONLY SELECTED VIN NUMBERS WERE SELECTED AGAINST PE13-016. LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND I DID NOT SEE ANY OWNERS WHO'S VINS WERE COVERED. WHERE IS A COPY OF THIS LIST AND HOW MANY VINS WERE ON THIS LIST? CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE A STAND AND OWN UP TO RECALLING ALL VINS FOR THIS MODEL MAKE AND YEAR. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A SELECTED RECALL. I AM DOCUMENTING THIS SAFETY CONCERN EVERYWHERE I CAN AS I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND HOPE SOMEONE TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY AND QUIT BLAMING THE OWNERS OF OVERFILLING THE TANKS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CONCERN AND IT ISN'T WITH OTHER MODELS AN MAKE. OWN UP CHRSYLER! *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED UP THE TANK AND PULLED ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO A PARKING LOT. AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE CAR DIED. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AFTER ABOUT THREE ATTEMPTS. AFTER LEAVING THE STORE I DROVE HOME AND IT DIED ON ME AT THE END ON THE PARKING LOT AS I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. IT DIED ONCE MORE AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT APPROX. 25 MPH. AFTER I GOT IT HOME, I ALLOWED IT TO IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WITH NO PROBLEM. AFTER EATING DINNER I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION.

ON APRIL 9TH AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 P.M. I FILLED MY CAR WITH FUEL UNTIL THE PUMP SHUT OFF. AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL LID I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. ALMOST AS SOON AS I STOPPED THE ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH, AS IF IT WERE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND STOPPED. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE ANOTHER BLOCK BEFORE STOPPING AT ANOTHER TRAFFIC SIGNAL. AGAIN, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED. I GOT IT STARTED AND REACHED PARK MANOR NURSING HOME AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WHILE I WENT TO VISIT. WHEN I LEFT THE NURSING HOME, I WENT DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ABOUT 1/8 MILE TO A 5 LANE INTERSECTION THAT HAD A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED AGAIN JUST AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART IT THEN CAREFULLY LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL ENOUGH TO PUT THE GEAR SHIFT BACK IN "D" AND DRIVE AWAY. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED ANY ENGINE STOPS, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY DANGEROUS, SINCE YOU CANNOT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND NOTHING SEEMED TO TRIGGER THE FAULTS. EACH TIME THE ENGINE STOPPED, I NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR WAS DISPLAYED AND WATCHED IT RISE TO NORMAL WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN. *TR

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS EVERY TIME I FILLED MY GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED. I WOULD START IT AND IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED GETTING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR DEAD STOPPED ALSO AT INTERSECTIONS. EVERY TIME I STOPPED THE CAR AT A LIGHT AFTER FILL UP CAR WOULD STOP. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AS I FEARED I WOULD BE KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER JAN 14, 2014. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, EVAP CANASTER AND VENT VALVE AT A COST OF $1740.22. I ASKED IF THIS CONDITION WAS UNDER WARRENTY THEY SAID NO. I UNDERSTAND THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED ON THE FUEL TANKS AS PER PE 13-016. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRENTY. CHRYSLER IS NOT HONORING THEIR OBLIGATION TO REPAIR THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I WANT TO BE SURE MY VIN# IS INCLUDED IN THIS WARRENTY AS I WILL SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

THE CURRENT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL FOR ME IS THE FUEL. I JUST HAD A VAPOR CANISTER INSTALLED THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE BUT IT DID GET RID OF A FEW OF THE PROBLEMS. WHEN I FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR SHUTTING DOWN AFTER A FILL UP, I THOUGHT THE GAS HAD WATER IN IT BUT IT'S NOT THE GAS. NO MATTER WHAT STATION I FILL UP AT, I HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS. THE CAR WILL DRIVE FINE FOR ABOUT 3 CAR LENGTHS, THEN IT WILL HESITATE, CHOKE, JUMP, TRY TO DIE, JERK FORWARD AND THEN FINALLY STALL AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. THEN IT WILL TAKE 3 OR MORE TRIES TO GET THE CAR TO RESTART AND IT MAY DO THE SAME THINGS OVER AGAIN FOR ANOTHER BLOCK OR TWO. THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IN THE FIRST 3 BLOCKS OF DRIVING THIS CAR AFTER A FILL UP, I CAN EXPECT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING AND I KNOW FOR SURE IT WILL DIE ON ME IF I FILL IT UP. IF I ONLY PUT IN 3/4 OF A TANK OF GAS OR LESS, I AM SAFE BUT IF I LET THE PUMP KICK OFF ON ITS OWN, I'M IN TROUBLE. THE ONLY THING THE VAPOR CANISTER DID WAS STOP IT FROM JUMPING AND JERKING, ALL THE OTHER SYMPTOMS ARE STILL THERE.

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IDLING. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR JERKS SEVERELY AND THEN TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

AFTER REFUELING (NOT OVER-FILLING) THE VEHICLE STALLS, BUCKS WHILE IN MOTION, DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE REASON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO THE POINT THE GAS PUMP KICKS OFF. THE DEALER SUGGESTS THE SOLUTION IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK, WHICH IS A TACTIC THAT DOES WORK IF YOU CAN PREDICT HOW FUEL YOU CAN PUMP BEFORE THE SHUT-OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE STALLING IS NOT IMMEDIATE AND WILL OFTEN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING ONCE YOU HAVE ENTERED MOVING TRAFFIC. ON LINE FORUMS SHOW THIS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH 300C OWNERS. APPARENTLY, MANY DEALERS ARE NOW SUGGESTING THE FUEL TANK BE REPLACED AS A SOLUTION. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THIS ACTUALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THIS OCCURRED I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING REAR ENDED BY FOLLOWING TRAFFIC.

ALLPAR.COM REPORTED TODAY THAT CHRYSLER SPOKESMAN [XXX] CONFIRMED THAT THE LIFETIME WARRANTIES FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES "WILL BE IN PLACE IN MID-APRIL". LOOKS LIKE CHRYSLER IS FINALLY HONORING ITS AGREEMENT REPORTED BY NHTSA (PE13-016) IN FEBRUARY 2014. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SUDDENLY STALLING AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. IN 2006 CHRYSLER THOUGHT IT WAS THE COMPUTER AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THAT DID NOT WORK. I RETURNED IT MANY TIMES. THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO NEVER FILL UP THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE NHTSA ANNOUNCED THE 19 GALLON GAS TANK FOR THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300 WOULD NOW HAVE A LIFE TIME WARRANTY. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED. SINCE MY CAR IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 WITH A 19 GALLON GAS TANK AND I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 8 YEARS I AM SURPRISED MY CAR WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE NOT COVERED. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS FOR ME. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFULING CAR, DEPARTED GAS STATION AND CAR STALLED COMPLETELY WHEN IN MIDDLE OF LEFT HAND TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. PLACED CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT. DEPARTED AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN 100 YARDS AWAY FROM TURN. CAR DIED AGAIN. PLACED CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT. IT RAN SLOWLY FOR 50 YARDS OR SO AND DIED AGAIN WHILE SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC. RESTARTED THE CAR IN TRAFFIC AND IT RAN FINE FOR 1/4 MILE WHEN IT DIED COMPLETELY AGAIN AT A STOP LIGHT. AGAIN, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT GOING WITHOUT STOPPING FOR 3-4 MILES. HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE TURNING OFF THE ENGINE OVERNIGHT. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP WITH FUEL THE CAR STALLED AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT ALSO SPUTTERED AND WANTED TO QUIT RUNNING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO LUSTINE CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, AND RAM LTD. IN WOODBRIDGE. WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL TANK AND CARBON CANISTER NEEDS REPLACED BECAUSE SOME FLAPPER IS BAD ALLOWING FUEL TO ENTER THE CANISTER ON FILL-UPS. *TR

AFTER REFILLING MY GAS TANK TO FULL, MY ENGINE STALLS FORCING ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY ENGINE. THIS OCCURS ONLY AFTER REFILLING MY GAS TANK AND LAST FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 10 MILES OR SO. ANOTHER KEY POINT IS THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW RPM USUALLY WHILE I'M DECELERATING BETWEEN 5~10MPH. I SEE THAT THESE SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY MANY PEOPLE. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WHEN I'VE CALLED THE (800#) AND VISITED MY LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF CHRYSLERS ACKNOWLEDGMENT. IS THIS A TRUE EXTENDED WARRANTY? WHY WAS THIS INVESTIGATION CLOSED? *TR

RE: PE-13-016 COVERING 2006 CHRYSLER 300C VEHICLES WITH 5.7 L HEMI ENGINES THAT MAY STALL AFTER REFUELING I SPOKE TODAY BY PHONE WITH "[XXX]", A SUPERVISOR WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE (1-800-992-1997 AND 1-905-440-7694). HE TOLD ME THAT CONTRARY TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT IN ODI RESUME (PE13-016), CHRYSLER DID NOT BEGIN MAILING LETTERS IN JANUARY 2014 TO THE 153,817 OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON 19-GALLON FUEL TANKS TO LIFETIME COVERAGE, HE TOLD ME THAT THE MAILING (INOT-PE130016-58863.PDF) WOULD IN FACT BEGIN IN APRIL 2014.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTOMS SPECIFIED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016. OUR MECHANIC HAS CONFIRMED THIS ALSO. HOWEVER, ACTION PE103016 LEADS US TO BELIEVE CHRYSLER WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE CONTACTED TWO CHRYSLER DEALERS' SERVICE DEPT'S AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE NO 'RECALLS' LISTED FOR MY CAR'S VIN.

EXACTLY LIKE THE SITUATIONS DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION (PE13-016), MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L ENGINE HAS STALLED AT LOW SPEEDS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AFTER REFUELING. MY LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ??SELECT?? VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN EXTENDED WARRANTIES BY CHRYSLER GROUP LLC IN RESPONSE TO PE13-016. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN A DIFFERENT PLANT THAN THE VEHICLES IDENTIFIED WITH PE13-016. CLEARLY THERE IS AN MALFUNCTION WITH THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE (MFCV) FUEL SHUTOFF FLOAT AT MORE THAN ONE MANUFACTURING LOCATION. ALTHOUGH THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THE LAST TIME I REFUELED AND PULLED ONTO THE STREET, THE ENGINE STALLED AND I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT STALLED 2 MORE TIMES DURING THE SAME INCIDENT BEFORE IT WOULD DRIVE MORE THAN A SHORT DISTANCE. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE IS AN INJURY OR FATALITY DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE IF I AM UNABLE TO REFUEL AND DRIVE WITHOUT THE RISK OF INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. *TR

RIGHT AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM A FILLING STATION THE CAR STALLED, IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED,DROVE OUT ON THE STREET AND STALLED AGAIN BEFORE REACHING THE NEXT SIGNAL LIGHT. RESTARTED KEPT SLIGHTLY MORE PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR, AND WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE STOP OR SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO REACH HOME IT HAS DID THE SAME THING ABOUT A MONTH LATER. THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE SURE OF THE INCIDENT NOT OCCURRING AGAIN IS TO GUESS HOW MANY MILES I HAVE GONE BASED ON CARS? APPROXIMATE MILES PER GAL SINCE YOUR AGENCY HAS COMPLETED YOUR INQUIRY ( NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 ) AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS AGREED TO EXTEND THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY TO " LIFETIME ", HOW DO I OBTAIN AN AUTHORIZATION TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED.

IN MAY 2013, THE NHTSA BEGAN AN INVESTIGATION (PE13-016) INTO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT ENGINE STALLING IN 2006 CHRYSLER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 5.7L 8-CYLINDER ENGINES. IN FEBRUARY 2014, CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED THAT IT HAD DEVELOPED IMPROVED PARTS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, AND WOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON 19-GALLON FUEL TANKS TO LIFETIME COVERAGE FOR THE 153,817 AFFECTED VEHICLES. IN FEBRUARY 2014 THE NHTSA ACCEPTED THIS SOLUTION PROPOSED BY CHRYSLER AND CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION.CHRYSLER SENT ME AN EMAIL ON MARCH 13,2014 INFORMING ME, WITHOUT EXPLANATION, THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE NHTSA, AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C FUEL TANK. *TR

FORTUNATELY, I KNOW A BIT ABOUT CARS AND GOT IT TO RESTART BEFORE I DROPPED BELOW 50 MPH. HOWEVER, THERE WERE HEAVY TRUCKS IN THE DENSE TRAFFIC AND HAD ONE BEEN DIRECTLY BEHIND ME I DO NOT THINK I WOULD BE HERE TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT TODAY. I HAVE DELAYED THIS COMPLAINT AS I DID NOT KNOW THE NATURE OF MY PROBLEM UNTIL YESTERDAY. AFTER THE THIRD FILL UP AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED, I FIGURED IT OUT AND WENT TO THE DEALER FOR A FIX. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM AND SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THE CURE WAS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT TUESDAY TO GET THIS WORK DONE AS I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, MY CAR STALLED THREE TIMES ON MY DRIVE HOME, EACH TIME WHEN I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 5 MPH APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. SINCE THEN, I HAVE DRIVEN ABOUT 200 MILES AND HAVE HAD NO STALLING PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY COULD FIND NO COMPUTER CODE ERROR, AND TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK, CHRYSLER RECEIVED MORE THAN 1200 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 19-GALLON FUEL TANK ON 2006 CHRYSLER 300C, A PROBLEM WHERE THE FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE STICKS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL AFTER REFUELING. IN RESPONSE TO THESE COMPLAINTS, CHRYSLER AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY PERIOD TO LIFETIME COVERAGE. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY. THEY REFUSED TO HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY 19-GALLON FUEL TANK AS THEY AGREED TO IN THEIR LETTER -PE1016-58863.PDF.

ON 2 OCCASIONS, 09/30/13 AND 10/02/13 I FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND WITHIN A MILE OF THE GAS STATION IT STARTED MISSING REAL BAD AND THEN SHUT OFF, ONCE WHILE MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE 95 AND THE OTHER TIME ON A LESS TRAVELED ROAD. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WHITTEN BROS CHRYSLER (RICHMOND, VA) A FEW DAYS LATER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE GAS CANISTER WAS CONTAMINATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A DETECTOR AND SOLENOID, TOTAL COST OF $516 AND WAS TOLD THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN THE TANK. SEEMS THE VALVE WAS STUCK OPEN AND ALLOWING GAS TO OVERFLOW INTO THE CANISTER. SINCE THE VALVE IS PART OF THE TANK AND CANNOT BE REPLACED A COMPLETE TANK IS NEEDED AT A COST OF $1200 TO $1500. THE NEXT WEEK I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT WHITTEN BROTHERS, [XXX] , AND TOLD HER TO GO AHEAD AND ORDER THE TANK. SHE SAID IT WOULD TAKE 3-5 DAYS TO BE RECEIVED AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT WAS IN. THAT NIGHT I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT A GAS TANK PROBLEM ON THE 2006 VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND SAW THAT IF YOU DID NOT FILL THE TANK YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT SHUTTING OFF. I FIGURED FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND I WOULD GO THIS ROUTE SO I CALLED AND CANCELLED THE ORDER FOR THE TANK. I WAS TOLD THE TANK ORDER COULD NOT BE CANCELLED BUT THEY WOULD KEEP IT IN INVENTORY. I HAVE ONLY PUT 600 MILES ON THE VEHICLE SINCE ALL THIS HAPPENED AND HAVE ONLY PUT GAS IN IT TWICE BUT DID NOT FILL IT EITHER TIME, ONLY ENOUGH TO GET THE GAUGE TO ABOUT 3/4. I HAVE TO REMEMBER WHEN I LOAN THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF MY SONS TO TELL THEM WHATEVER THEY DO PLEASE DO NOT FILL THE TANK IF THEY PUT GAS IN IT.

THE STALLING AND SLOW FILL HAVE BEEN CONTINUING SINCE NOVEMBER 2013 AND HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY RECENTLY. THE NHSTA HAS A CASE NUMBER PE13016 WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY MY SITUATION AS A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK VALVE. IN THAT CASE, CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON GAS TANKS FOR 2006 CHRYSLER C CARS IN THE CASE FILE WRITE UP, BUT BOTH THE DEALER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTENCE OF THE CASE FINDINGS OR THE PROBLEM ITSELF.

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

AFTER RE-FUELING, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES MULTIPLE STALL CONDITIONS WHILE ON THE ROAD. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CAN OCCUR BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS MORE FREQUENTLY OCCURS WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK TO THE POINT THAT THE AUTO SHUT OFF ON THE GAS NOZZLE IS TRIPPED. THE CAR GIVES NO WARNING THAT ITS ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE AN ISSUE UNTIL THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF, MOST LIKELY WHILE YOU'RE ALREADY ON THE ROAD. RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY TO COMBAT THIS PROBLEM IS TO NOT FILL UP THE CAR MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE TANK. THIS METHOD KEEPS THE DRIVER GUESSING AS TO HOW MUCH GAS SHOULD BE PUMPED, AND CAUSES MORE FREQUENT FILL UPS AS YOU'RE NOT USING 1/4 OF THE GAS TANK CAPACITY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, AND ITS ONE THAT SHOULD BE COMMUNICATED TO ALL 300C OWNERS IMMEDIATELY. *TR

FOR THE LAST 30,000+ MILES, EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR STALLS OR ATTEMPTS TO STALL. ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. HE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND NO REPORTED INSTANCES. I'VE LEARNED TO APPLY A LITTLE GAS WHEN I HAVE TO STOP AT RED LIGHTS TO KEEP IT RUNNING. IT WILL STILL STALL OUT. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET EVERY FEW MONTHS TO SEE IF ANYONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND FINALLY FOUND YOUR INVESTIGATION ACTION NUMBER PE13016. *TR

Mileage: 100,000

I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR STALLING AFTER I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. I READ THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT RECALLING FOR THIS REASON SO I JUST READ FORUMS AND TRIED NOT TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK BUT SOMETIMES I FORGET AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

STOPPED ON THE WAY HOME TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK. WHEN THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF, I REMOVED THE NOZZLE. I HEARD A GURGLING SOUND IN THE TANK WHICH WAS UNUSUAL. I BEGAN DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION THROUGH THE ADJACENT PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE DIED WITHIN 150 FEET OF DRIVING. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND UPON IT DIED AGAIN WITHIN 15 FEET. RE-STARTED A THIRD TIME AND IT STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND UPON DOING DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOUND THAT THE ROLL OVER VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WAS BAD WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO GET INTO THE EVAP VENT HOSE WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FLOOD AND STALL OUT. SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE TANK WHICH IS ON BACK ORDER TIL JAN 30TH (9 DAYS FROM NOW). THEY ARE EXPECTING IN 130 TANKS AT THE WAREHOUSE WHICH IS SUGGESTING THIS ISSUE IS BECOMING MORE COMMON. *TR

AFTER REFUELING AT LOCAL GAS STATION DROVE 5 MILES. STOPPED AT LIGHT WHERE VEHICLE STALLED SUDDENLY. VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS WITH IGNITION KEY. *TR

Mileage: 44,266

I DROVE TO THE GAS STATION, AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING AROUND THE CORNER THE CAR STALLED. I WAS GOING AROUND 20 MILES PER HOUR. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR BACK ON AFTER A FEW TIMES AND IT JUST WOULDN'T START. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I MANAGED TO START THE CAR BACK ON AND I DROVE IN A NEAR BY SHOPPING CENTER. AS I PULLED UP THE CAR STALLED ONCE AGAIN. I DECIDED TO WAIT ABOUT TEN MORE MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND IT FAILED TO START. I WAITED AN ADDITIONAL 20 MINUTES AND FINALLY IT STARTED WITH A LITTLE HESITATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES NOW. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS, MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. *TR

Mileage: 130,000

I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR! THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS, RIGHT AFTER I FUEL UP, I LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN/OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON, THE ENGINE STALLS, I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER, AND MY CAR IS "DEAD IN THE WATER". IT IS REALLY FRIGHTENING! IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, AND TWO MORE TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING, BUT EACH TIME IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER GETTING GAS. LUCKILY, THESE MULTIPLE STALLING INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR DYING WHILE I AM ON THE FREEWAY, AS IT WOULD SURELY END UP IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. IF OTHER OWNERS OF A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THROUGH RECALLING THESE VEHICLES FOR REPAIR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

Mileage: 38,243

ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED WORKING AS COMING OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER FILLING UP. STEERING WENT HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK, WARNING LIGHT (LUBE OIL CAN) CAME UP. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN, ENGINE STARTED BUT KEPT STALLING. JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN MOVING SLOWLY 0 TO 20 MPH , THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO STALL DURING DECELERATION OR WHEN STOPPED FOR THE NEXT 3 MILES. STALLING OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WILL STALL 2-3 TIMES IN A 5 MINUTE PERIOD. THE VEHICLE PERFORMS CORRECTLY ONCE YOU GET PAST THIS STAGE. MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES - ALL AFTER FILLING TANK. *TR

Mileage: 106,000

AFTER RE-FUELING VEHICLE, CAR STALLED AT 5 INTERSECTIONS. VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALWAYS GO BACK INTO GEAR AFTER RESTARTING UNTIL SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE. AFTER BURNING OFF A FEW GALLONS OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER STALLED/MISFIRED. TANK WAS NOT "TOPPED-OFF" WHEN FILLED, IT WAS FILLED UNTIL THE PUMP STOPPED AUTOMATICALLY. STALLING OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FILLED TO FULL. *TR

Mileage: 37,850

VEHICLE STALLS SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, MOSTLY WHILE IDLING. AND, IT IS DIFFICULT TO RE-START AFTER STALLING. ENGINE ALSO RUNS "ROUGHER" AFTER FILL-UP. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. TOOK 300C TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK OVERFLOW VALVE. SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE GAS TANK OR NEVER COMPLETELY FILL IT UP. IT SEEMS THAT WITH ALL OF THESE SIMILAR SAFETY COMPLAINTS, CHRYSLER SHOULD FIND AN ALTERNATIVE FIX. *TR

Mileage: 40,000

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO START. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD RUN PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHEN HE COULD COMPLETELY REFUEL THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO THE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

AFTER FUELING MY VEHICLE I DROVE ABOUT 300 FEET AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION, AND MY CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT WITHOUT RESTARTING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO RESTART I DROVE FOR ANOTHER 5 MILES AND THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN. AFTER THE SECOND STALL I LET THE CAR SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE AWAY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE, IT HAS HAPPENED 2 OTHER TIMES BEFORE. I FEAR THAT IF THIS KEEPS HAPPENING WITH NO RESOLUTION FROM CHRYSLER PEOPLE MAY HAVE TO REPORT SOMETHING WORSE THAN JUST THE CAR STALLING. *TR

Mileage: 51,204

AFTER FUELING, FILLING UP, THE CAR WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES BOTH WHILE STOPPED AND WHILE MOVING SLOWLY (10-15MPH). IF YOU ARE MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 45-70MPH THE CAR WILL CUT OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND THEN RESUME. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 OR 4 TIMES SINCE NOV 2013. IT HAPPENS AFTER THE CARE IS REFUELED. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW AND IT ONLY STARTED THIS BEHAVIOR RECENTLY. *TR

Mileage: 158,345

I WAS EXITING A HIGHWAY VIA AN OFF RAMP. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT THE INTERSECTION THE ENGINE STALLED OUT. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY. I HAD FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AT PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. *TR

Mileage: 44,122

CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. OTHER CARS NEARLY STRUCK ME FROM REAR. STALLED AFTER RESTART, BLOCKING INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, NEARLY RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. ALWAYS OCCURS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. *TR

Mileage: 75,000

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR IT WILL BEGIN TO RUN, AND IDLE, ROUGH TO THE POINT THAT IT STALLS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED. MOST OF THE TIME IT DIES WHILE IDLING, BUT HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES. THE ISSUE IS WORSE IF THE CAR IS REFUELED FROM THE POINT THAT THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. IT WILL DIE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN REFUELED FROM THIS LOW LEVEL IN THE TANK. THE CAR HAS DIED WHILE LEAVING A RED LIGHT AND GETTING AS FAR AS THE INTERSECTION AND HAVING TO TRY TO RESTART IT WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300C STALLS AFTER FILL UP. CAR IS HARD TO START UP AFTER IT STALLS, IT WILL STALL A COUPLE TIMES AGAIN AND THAN IT WILL BE OK UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. CAN NOT GET MORE THAN 1/2 MILE GAS STATION. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM STARTED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, WENT TO DEALER, THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THEY RECOMMENDED TO CLEAN INJECTORS, DID THIS, IT DIDN'T HELP. LAST 3 FILL UP HAVE BEEN THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO OF REFUELING, THE ENGINE STALLED AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. THE CAR WOULD RE-START WITH LITTLE DIFFICULTY ONLY TO STALL AGAIN VERY SHORTLY THEREAFTER. EVENTUALLY, AFTER PERHAPS 10 MINUTES OF STARTS/STALLS, AND RE-STARTS, OPERATION WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO REFUELING. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE RECURRED WITH EVERY REFUELING (AT LEAST 4 REFUELINGS SO FAR), RESULTING IN NUMEROUS ENGINE STALLS IN TRAFFIC. APART FROM THESE REFUELING-RELATED INCIDENTS THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY, AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC HAS SAID THAT "THE CAR'S COMPUTER" INDICATES ALL SYSTEMS ARE NORMAL. A GOOGLE SEARCH ON MY PROBLEM, HOWEVER, SUGGESTS THAT THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN CHRYSLER 300CS OF A SIMILAR VINTAGE. *TR

Mileage: 36,000

I FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GAS AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT HALF A MILE THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR STARTED AND STALLED REPEATEDLY FIVE OR SIX TIMES FOR ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS. AT A CERTAIN POINT THE PROBLEM STOPPED AND THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NEARBY AUTO SHOP AND THEY FOUND NO ERROR CODES IN THE SYSTEM. AFTER LEAVING THE AUTO SHOP THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITHOUT STALLING. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I FILLED UP WITH GAS AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF AFTER DRIVING ABOUT HALF A MILE. THE ENGINE STALLED ABOUT FIVE TIMES. IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER THIS TIME BUT IT EVENTUALLY STARTED AND DROVE FINE. *TR

Mileage: 65,150

AFTER FUELING THE CHRYSLER 300C THE CAR WILL CRANK JUST FINE AND RUN FOR A MINUTE OR SO BUT THEN STALLS OUT. THIS SCENARIO CONTINUES FOR ABOUT 5 TO 8 TIMES BEFORE IT IS SAFE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD. IT HAS ALSO DIED WHILE DRIVING SHORTLY AFTER FUELING CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO STOP MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING AND UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO GOOD ANSWER FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 60,000

VEHICLE STALLED AFTER REFUELING. FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL WITHOUT 'TOPPING OFF' WILL CAUSE THE CAR'S ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. NO DTCS/MILES ARE SET. CAN BE RESTARTED WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. THE STALL WILL OCCUR AT ANY ENGINE/VEHICLE SPEED AND WILL HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE CAR AFTER REFUELING. THE PROBLEM CAN BE AVOIDED BY NOT FILLING THE TANK PAST 3/4 FULL. HAVE TESTED THIS 'WORK-AROUND' AT THE SAME GAS STATION & PUMP. *TR

Mileage: 60,000

AFTER REFUELING, CAR STALLS. THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION. THE STALL HAS TAKEN PLACE AT INTERSECTIONS, WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND WHILE DRIVING NO MORE THAN 5 -10MPH AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION.. CAR RESTARTS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IN NEUTRAL. WHEN EACH INCIDENT OCCURS, THE OIL ICON COMES ON, HOWEVER THE OIL LEVEL IS NOT LOW. ON ONE OCCASION AFTER HAVING BACKED INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH THE CAR GEAR SHIFT STILL IN REVERSE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR LURCHED. THE TIRES COULD BE HEARD SPINNING. THAT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE MY CAR COULD HAVE ROLLED INTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. ONCE THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATES APPROXIMATELY A HALF A TANK, NO STALLING INCIDENTS TAKE PLACE. CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS CONCERNED. SERVICE ADVISOR WAS AWARE OF CHYRSLER 300C STALLS AFTER REFUELING. FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM WAS SERVICED/CLEANED. THIS HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. CAR STILL STALLING. REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR, HOWEVER I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW OF THE STILL ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 62,085

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MOST RECENTLY 12/21/2/13 AFTER FUELING UP MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C TO A FULL TANK (NOT OVERFILLING) MY CAR RUNS ROUGH AND STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR WITHIN ONE MILE OF LEAVING THE GAS STATION. MY CAR WILL NOT RESTART FOR AT LEAST 30-45 SECONDS OF CRANKING THE ENGINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BY PULLING OUT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR STALLS. DEALERSHIP IS RECOMMENDING A NEW GAS TANK AND VAPOR CANISTER WHICH IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR ($1,500 -$2,000) AND THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL BE RESOLVED AND THERE ARE NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

Mileage: 185,000

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 HEMI. HAVE OWNED CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND NEVER OVERFILLED GAS TANK AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I GOT A FULL TANK OF GAS, THEN STARTED CAR AND PULLED AWAY, A BLOCK LATER THE CAR DIED. THIS HAPPENED 7 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 2 MILES TO GET CAR HOME. CAR STALLED, RPM'S DOWN, STARTING JERKING. I KEPT IT IN NEUTRAL TO KEEP IT FROM DYING. WENT HOME AND GOOGLED PROBLEM - SEEMS TO BE EITHER 3 THINGS - FUEL VAPOR CANISTER (LOCATED ABOVE RIGHT REAR TIRE), FUEL VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE (LOCATED IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT), OR ROLLOVER/CHECK VALVE (LOCATED IN FUEL TANK). TOOK CAR TO FIRESTONE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID THAT VAPOR CANISTER AND PURGE VALVE ARE WORKING AND IT WAS BE THE COMPONENT IN THE TANK. SAID IT WILL COST $1,500 FOR NEW TANK. I SAID NO WAY, I'LL WAIT TILL THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS, WHICH THERE [XXX] WELL BETTER BE. IF THIS CAR STALLED ON EXPRESSWAY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SCREWED. THERE IS A FAST FIX INSTEAD OF REPLACING ANYTHING - EITHER FUEL TANK ONLY 3/4 FULL, OR LEAVE GAS CAP OFF AFTER FUELING, SO THAT NO PRESSURE IS IN TANK AND VAPOR IS BURNED OFF THROUGH FILLER NECK, INSTEAD OF THROUGH ENGINE. I FEEL LIKE CALLING CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TOMORROW AND SEEING WHAT THEY SAY. THIS CAN'T BE TOLERATED. THE VAPOR CANISTER IS AN EMISSIONS THING THAT TAKES FUEL VAPOR AND BURNS IT THOUGH ENGINE, BUT IF IT MALFUNCTIONS, IT WILL SUCK UP FUEL AND FLOOD ENGINE. SO HOPEFULLY THE MORE PEOPLE THAT COMMENT ON HERE, THE MORE CHANCE THERE WILL BE A RECALL SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO FORK OVER $1,500 FOR A DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING ISSUE, THAT THE DEALER NEEDS TO FIX FOR FREE. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO, VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AFTER REFUELING. EVERY REFUEL SINCE WITHOUT FAIL THE VEHICLE STALLS. STALLING OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WILL STALL 2-3 TIMES IN A 5 MINUTES PERIOD. THE VEHICLE PERFORMS CORRECTLY ONCE YOU GET PAST THIS STAGE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH (INTERNET) THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER 2006 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS (INCL TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VAN) EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. IT APPEARS THE SEPARATOR VALVE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IS THE CULPRIT. *TR

STARTED STALLING AFTER FILL UP'S APX 1 YEAR AGO. I DO NOT DRIVE IT ALOT. APX 55000 MILES ON IT. FIRST THOUGHT WAS DUE TO CHANGING OCTANE BUT BEEN USING FOR 4 MONTHS . STALLS, BUCKS, SURGES. CLEARED UP AFTER APX 5 TO 10 MIN. *TR

AFTER FUELING CAR, IT STALLS OUT. AFTER RESTART WILL RUN AND MAY OR MAY NOT STALL AGAIN. NOT A VERY GOOD THING TO HAPPEN. COULD BECOME THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO RECALLS ON CAR. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C WOULD JUST DIE AFTER FILING UP WITH GAS - HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY A FEW TIMES- VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL WE SAW LA TIMES ARTICLE 5/14/13 - THEY ARE FIXING BUT CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING WITH $$ (REPLACING GAS TANK) CAR HAS ONLY 42K MILES. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL (NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK) THE CAR STALLED UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE RISK IS INCREDIBLE! THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AS TRAFFIC WAS ALL AROUND ME HONKING AND I WAS NEARLY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND!! ONCE WAS A FLUKE I THOUGHT AND MAYBE BAD GAS. I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY NAVIGATE ON BACK STREETS TO THE HOUSE AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. AGAIN I HAD THE STALLING PROBLEM, LUCKY FOR ME I HAD PICKED A LIGHT TRAFFIC TIME TO FILL UP. I SWITCHED GAS STATIONS AFTER THAT AN NOW ONLY GET GAS AT SHELL STATIONS HEARING THAT THEY HAD THE BEST GAS QUALITY OVERALL. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK FULL. THE STALLING PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING NOW TWO NEEDLE WIDTHS BELOW THE FULL MARK WHICH MEANS SOMETHING IS GETTING WORSE. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK DUE TO A FAULTY VALUE AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. THE COST IS $1,315. THE RISK OF GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AT ANY SPEED IS INCREDIBLE AND VERY REAL!! I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THE FAULTY TANKS. *TR

Mileage: 90,000

AFTER FILL UP AT GAS STATION ( NOT TOPPING OFF), WHEN LEAVING AND COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND HAVE TO CRANK TWO OR THREE TIMES TO START AGAIN. IT WILL DO THIS SEVERAL MORE TIMES AFTER COMING TO A STOP, ONCE ON THE ROAD OR FREEWAY IT WILL RUN LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. ONCE FUEL LEVEL DROPS ENOUGH IT WILL NO LONGER STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. HAVE READ IN FORUMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS MORE THAN LIKELY A VALVE THAT IS BUILT IN INTO THE TANK, MAKING THIS AN EXPENSIVE FIX. *TR

FILLED UP TANK FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE PURCHASING MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. (CAME FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH A FULL TANK) NO MORE THAN 2 MINUTES OF DRIVING LATER THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND LURCH AS IF IT WERE GOING TO DIE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND KEEP IT RUNNING BUT IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. CONTINUED ON AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT IT DIED SHORTLY AFTER. RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING BY GIVING IT A LITTLE THROTTLE. I BEGAN COMBING THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THIS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE AFTER FILLING UP.

5 MINUTES AFTER FILLING UP MY 06 CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8 6.1L AT A GAS STATION I WAS CROSSING OVER TRAFFIC TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND MY CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ENGINE CUTS OUT EVERY TIME I COMPLETELY FILL MY GAS TANK. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST DETECTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. SINCE, I HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL WHEN RE-FUELING. SOMETIMES I STILL ENCOUNTER ENGINE SPUTTERING AND EVENTUAL LOSS OF POWER AND STEERING CONTROL. I TRY TO MITIGATE AND CONTROL THE SAFETY RISK AS BEST AS I CAN. I HAVE TO QUICKLY THROW THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND CRANK THE ENGINE TO RESTART SO I CAN AVOID BEING A SAFETY THREAT TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. ALSO THANKS TO CHRYSLER, MY WIFE REFUSES TO RIDE IN THE CAR WITH ME AS IT POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AT ANY SPEED ON ANY ROAD. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE IN A CAR BEFORE. THIS IS MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR I BOUGHT JAN 6, 2006 AT THE AGE OF 23. I REGRET MY DECISION EVER SINCE. I HAVE LOST A TON OF FAITH IN CHRSYLER PRODUCTS AND THE BRAND IT REPRESENTS. THE ONE THING CHRYSLER SHOULD DO, IS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND OFFER THE FIX AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. *TR

Mileage: 80,000

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, MY CAR DIES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I GET HOME, WHICH IS ABOUT 5 MILES FROM THE GAS STATION. SOMETIMES IT WILL SPEED UP WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR JUST BEFORE IT DIES. IT DIES BEFORE I GET OUT OF THE GAS STATION, SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES IT DIES AS I PULL TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT 1,000 FEET FROM THE GAS STATION. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 2 DAYS AGO. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWICE FOR THIS, BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE FILL UP BEFORE THIS LAST ONE, I ONLY FILLED THE TANK HALF FULL, AND IT DIDN'T DIE, SO IT MUST BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH FILLING IT ALL THE WAY UP. I DON'T TOP THE TANK OFF, EITHER. *TR

Mileage: 72,000

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS I WENT ABOUT 2-3 MILES ON US1 IN WAKE FOREST, AFTER STOPPING AT THE LIGHT AT US1A I PROCEEDED TO TURN ONTO US1A AND MY CAR STALLED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO MANAGE TO TURN ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR TO CONTINUE TO PROCEED. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT ANOTHER 1 TO 2 MILES IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS I LOSE POWER STEERING WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. *TR

Mileage: 112,000

ENGINE STALLED FOR FIRST TIME LESS THAN 2 MILES AFTER FILL UP AT 25 MPH ON CITY STREET. IMMEDIATELY LOSS POWER ASSIST OF BOTH STEERING AND BRAKES. CAR WEIGHTS 4040 LBS AND I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AND GETTING THE CAR STOPPED. CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. NO FUTURE PROBLEMS UNTIL NEARLY EVERY REFILL WHEN IT STALLS WITHIN FIRST FEW SECONDS OR 2 MILES. CAR NOW HAS 79550 MILES. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS MOST FREQUENTLY BUT I ALWAYS FILL THE GAS TANK. I TOLD HER WHEN IT STALLS, STEER STRAIGHT, PUT CAR IN NEURAL, RESTART, AND HOPE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STOP QUICKLY. IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 CHRYSLER'S [XXX] LETTER AUG 9, 2013 LAST PAGE 17 STATES "IF A STALL AFTER REFUEL CONDITIONS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE HAS FUNCTIONING STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEMS". TRUE BUT WITH OUT POWER ASSIST ON STEERING AND BRAKES CAR IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. MOST WOMEN AND SMALL MEN WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY SAFELY STOPPING CAR. CHRYSLER CONCLUDES THIS ISSUE POSES AND MINOR RISK TO VEHICLE SAFETY. I AM A RETIRED MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND WORKED 40 YEARS WITH POWER TRAINS AND STRONGLY DISAGREE. IN THIS REVIEW VEHICLES 5, 6, AND 7 ALL HAD PROBLEMS WITH SWOLLEN REFUELING FLOATS ALLOWING THE FLOATS TO STICK AND NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. ALL THREE CARS WERE 2006 300C WITH 5.7 LITER HEMI ENGINES THE SAME AS MINE.. ON A11.PAGE 15, CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THE VENT VALVES WAS CHANGED FOR MY 2007.

THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT AFTER BEING STARTED. NOW IT IS ALMOST SHUTTING OFF OR BECOMING UNRESPONSIVE MID ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN. THE CAR WILL AT RANDOM STALL. THE ENGINE DOES NOT NEED TO BE RESTARTED SO FAR WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL "DIE" FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN COMES BACK AGAIN JUST SHORT OF COMPLETE ENGINE SHUT DOWN.

MY VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT ON ME INTERMITTENTLY. IT MOSTLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER I GET FINISHED PUTTING GAS IN MY CAR. UNLIKE MOST OTHER STORIES I'VE READ ABOUT OVERFILLING THE GAS TANK, THIS HAPPENS TO ME SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT JUST A HALF OF A TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR. NOW, AS OF NOV. 7, 2013, IT'S DONE IT WELL OVER 100 TIMES; THAT'S SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN MAY. THE DEALERSHIP IS A COMPLETE SCAM. THEY KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT. THEY'VE CHARGED ME TO FIX EVERYTHING FROM EGR VALVES TO PCMS TO SPARK PLUGS. NOTHING HAS WORKED.THEN FINALLY I DECIDE TO DO SOME DEEP RESEARCH, THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO FILE MY COMPLAINT. THERE ARE 2 MAJOR ISSUES I HAVE. WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I'LL LOSE ALL POWER AND THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR A SPLIT SECOND, THEN IT'LL KICK BACK IN. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, TO SAY THE LEAST. THE MORE FREQUENT PROBLEM, IS THE CAR COMPLETELY CUTTING OFF WHILE EITHER AT IDLE, OR TRAVELING AT A LOWER SPEED. BOTH SITUATIONS HAPPEN ALMOST ALWAYS DIRECTLY AFTER I PUT GAS IN MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS SO MUCH THAT IT IS BECOMING UNBEARABLE. SOMETIME IT STARTS BACK UP, AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO. IT'S RIDICULOUS. I DON'T MIND PAYING TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. HOWEVER, DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, KNOW THAT'S THE PROBLEM, AND LET'S GET IT FIXED. DON'T RUN ME THROUGH $3,000 WORTH OF REPAIRS, KNOWING THAT YOU'VE GOT COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME MODEL AND MODEL YEAR, COMING IN AROUND THE SAME TIME, COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. THAT'S NO COINCIDENCE. AND QUITE FRANKLY, IT'S FRAUDULENT. I'VE GOT MY 5 YEAR OLD SON RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME MY CAR STALLS OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOSES POWER, WITH ANOTHER CAR TAILGATING ME? WHAT IF IT'S A TRACTOR TRAILER NEXT TIME? WILL THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BRAKE OR PLOW INTO THE BACK OF ME? MORE UNNECESSARY STRESS AND WORRY FOR THE LOYAL CONSUMER. THANKS CHRYSLER. *TR

MY HUSBAND FILLED UP THE TANK ON 110413 (ALREADY HAD 1/4 TANK). I DROVE TO AND FROM WORK, BUT ONCE I BACKED INTO THE YARD THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN. AS I REVVED THE ENGINE THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WOULD CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER THE INITIAL START UP, BUT AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR CUT OFF. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, BUT NO ONE MENTIONED THE ISSUES THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE (2006 300C WITH HEMI).

AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK, AT 1/2 A TANK, I PULLED AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND THE CAR STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING I CONTINUED ON MY WAY. EVERY TIME I SLOWED DOWN FOR TRAFFIC, OR A STOP SIGN, OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED. THIS HAPPENED 6-8 TIMES ON MY WAY HOME WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. AFTER STARTING, THE ENGINE "SPITTED, AND SPURTED" ON ACCELERATION. IT THEN SMOOTHED OUT, AND RAN FINE, UNTIL THIS LATEST INCIDENT. ALSO, THE LAST TIME THE CAR WAS FUELED, IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT GAS, THE HOSE KEPT SHUTTING OFF. TRIED ANOTHER PUMP, SAME RESULT, WENT TO ANOTHER GAS STATION, SAME RESULT. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING AT GAS STATION DUE TO FLOODING OR OTHER ISSUE. DEALER WOULD NOT ADMIT ITS A PROBLEM. HAPPENED APPROX 4 TIMES WHERE I STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED. HAD TO DRIVE VEHICLE IN PARKING LOT ACCELERATING 8 TIMES TO BURN OFF FUEL BEFORE IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE CAR SHUDDERED. CANNOT FILL UP TANK ANYMORE. WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TANK BUT THERE WAS A 6 MONTH BACK ORDER DUE TO ALL THE PEOPLE REQUESTING NEW TANKS. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING APROX 0.5MILES AFTER DEPARTING FUEL STATION. VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON APPROACH TO FREEWAY AND IN POTENTIALLY FATAL SITUATIONS. FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING VEHICLE DUE TO CONTINUED PROBLEMS. SUSPECT RECALL SHOULD BE DONE SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIGGER PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 26,500

AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION (FILLING THE TANK) THE CAR SPUTTERED A FEW TIMES, THEN AS I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT IT STALLED OUT. I PULLED AWAY OKAY BUT IT STALLED AGAIN AT THE NEXT LIGHT. AFTER GETTING GAS, THE CAR IS HESITANT WHILE DRIVING AND STALLS OUT, USUALLY LASTING FOR 1-3 MILES. *TR

Mileage: 106,640

WHEN I FILLED THE FUEL TANK THE CAR WOULD STALL LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION. THEN IT STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOW OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT OR SPEED BUMPS. AT THESE TIMES I DID NOT REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED UNTIL I SAW THE OIL LIGHT ON. THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT SUGGESTED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH BE CHANGED. THE PROBLEM STILLED PERSISTED SO I HAD THE CAR TUNED UP. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED AND SO I STOPPED BUYING A PARTICULAR BRAND OF GAS BECAUSE WHILE LEAVING THE STATION WHICH IS ON THE INCLINE THE CAR STALLED AND A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON AND ONE INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED AND STOPPED TOPPING OF THE TANK BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY. I HAVE TO DRIVE TWO MAJOR HIGHWAYS FOR DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS CAR STALL LIKE THIS IN MAJOR TRAFFIC. THE CAR WILL BE GOING ALONG SMOOTHLY AND THEN IT STARTS LURCHING LIKE I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR GOES IN TOMORROW TO BE CHECKED AGAIN.I HAD DRIVEN 25 MILES SINCE THE LAST FILL AND THE CAR ACTED SO ERRATIC THAT I AN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHERE IT IS GOING WHEN IT STALLS (NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. *TR

I WAS ON THE WAY TO A DOCTORS APPT WITH MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER ON 264 HEADING TOWARDS CHESAPEAKE, VA. I WAS DOING 55 MPH AND THE TANK WAS ON 1/8 TH OF A TANK. AS WE WERE DRIVING, ABOUT 15 MIN LATER, THE CAR LURCHED, A DING WAS HEARD, THE ETC LIGHT FLASHED, THE RPMS DROPPED TO 0, THEN RESUMED A SECOND LATER CAUSING THE LURCHING FORWARD. ABOUT 3 TO 4 MINUTES AND INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE NEXT 15 MIN LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING, BUT ALSO STALLED AT THE STOP LIGHTS ON THE WAY THERE. NO CODES CAME UP WHEN DIAGNOSTICS WERE PUT ON IT. THE THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED AND A RELEARN WAS DONE, THIS DID NOTHING. SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND NO ONE HAS AN EXACT FIX FOR THIS. ALSO, MAY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, BUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING, I WAS FILLING UP WITH GAS AND THE TANK OVERFLOWED. NO PROBLEMS OCCURRED THROUGH THE NEXT 3 OR 4 FILL UPS, THE TANK WAS ON AN 1/8 WHEN THE FIRST HESITATION AND STALLING OCCURRED. *TR

Mileage: 186,030

I WAS ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO ROUTE 495S, ABOUT TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY, WITH CARS BEHIND ME, AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THIS WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BREAK-DOWN LANE AT THE END OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP. YOU GO DIRECTLY ONTO THE HIGHWAY. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED THERE WAS NOWHERE FOR ME OR THE CARS BEHIND ME TO GO. THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO ATTEMPT TO STOP, TOO. ONE OF THE RESTART ISSUES WITH THIS CAR IS THAT IT MUST BE STOPPED AND IN PARK BEFORE YOU CAN RESTART THE ENGINE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RESTART THE CAR WHILE IT IS MOVING. *TR

I FILLED UP MY CHRYSLER 300 JUST AFTER BUYING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. AFTER FILL UP I PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION AND GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT AND IT STALLED. I RESTARTED IT AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR AT FIRST BUT AFTER A MINUTE IT DID. WENT FOR ABOUT HUNDRED FEET AND IT STALLED AGAIN IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. THEN THE NEXT MORNING IT RAN FINE UNTIL I FILLED IT UP AGAIN AND IT DID THE SAME THING STALLED RIGHT AFTER I FILLED IT WITH GAS I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE GAS TANK AND PURGE VALVE THAT ONLY CAN BE CORRECTED BY REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THIS AN ISSUE HAS HAPPENED FOR MANY OWNERS AND THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING BY THERE DEALERS. IT IS A FACTORY DESIGN ERROR THAT ONLY BE CORRECTED BY THE FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS THE PURGE VALVE. THE REASON IT STALLS IS THAT WHEN FILLED UP THE TANK AND PURGE VALE FLOODS THE THROTTLE BODY WITH RAW FUEL AND THE CAR STALLS THIS STALLING CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT VERY EASY AS WELL AS EFFECTING THE EMISSIONS OF THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT WHICH I UNDERSTAND HAS EFFECTED THE DODGE CHARGER AS WELL AS THE CHALLENGER. *TR

ON 8/29, I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A REPAIR TO THE BODY. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT TURNED OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, I WENT BACK INSIDE AND MADE THE SERVICE MANAGER AWARE. HE CAME OUT AND AFTER A FEW TRIES, IT STARTED. THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT BUT THAT IT SEEMED TO BE FINE SO I COULD TAKE IT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUE AND TOOK IT TO A NEARBY GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP. AFTER FILLING IT UP, IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FROM 8/29 TO 9/26. DURING THAT TIME, THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED, THE EVAP CANISTER WAS REPLACED AND THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED. WHEN I WENT TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP ON 9/26, IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND PUMPING THE GAS WHILE TURNING THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE STARTED. I AM NOW ONLY ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE IF THE GAS PEDAL AN PUMPED WHILE THE KEY IS BEING TURNED. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO ATTEMPTED TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I GOT IT BACK AND DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER IT HAD WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I HAVE ALSO SMELLED GAS WHILE DRIVING IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACCELERATING. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON ALSO. THE DEALER HAS REQUESTED THAT I BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THEM AND I FEAR THAT IT WILL BE THERE ANOTHER 4 WEEKS AND RETURN TO ME IN THE SAME OR EVEN WORSE CONDITION! *TR

AFTER REFUELING MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AS I WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES BEFORE; EACH TIME I TOPPED OFF? MY GAS TANK. I WAS CONCERNED THAT I COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP? AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS CRACKED AND THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER PAYING $1,700.00 AND RENTING A CAR FOR 4 DAYS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY. WE SHALL SEE. MY CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED WITH OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES. I ALSO ONLY USE 89 OCTANE FUEL AS RECOMMENDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS, EVEN THOUGH QUITE A NUMBER OF DRIVERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL COMPLAINED THAT THE CAR STOPPED AFTER REFUELING AND TOPPING OFF THE TANK. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *JS

Mileage: 55,000

CAR STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP. I SWITCHED FILLING STATIONS, BRANDS AND OCTANES. CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW GALLONS WERE USED, THE STALLING WENT AWAY EACH TIME. PROBLEM NOW CONTINUES WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS, OR NO PRESSURE ON THE THROTTLE. WHILE MOVING IT WILL STALL, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND "DING", THEN WHEN I PUMP THE THROTTLE IT WILL CATCH ITSELF AND THE CAR WILL JERK HARD AND ACCELERATE AGAIN. AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ONCE IT STALLS, IT WILL REQUIRE USING THE KEY TO RESTART. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM, THE LAST TIME IN AUG 2013, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD STAYED ON. THEY RESET THE CODES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JS

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY, IT WAS CITY DRIVING EARLY IN THE MORNING. SINCE THEN, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS SITUATIONS WHERE THE CAR HAS STALLED AFTER FILLING UP. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS (I.E. WATER IN MY GAS TANK), HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE VARIED THE FUELING STATIONS AND BRANDS I USE AND HAVE SEEN NO EFFECT. IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER I FILL UP, AND IT SEEMS TO GO AWAY AFTER THE TANK HAS EMPTIED A BIT. THE LATEST ENCOUNTER WAS YESTERDAY (I FILLED UP TWO DAYS PRIOR) WHILE I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE CAR - MULTIPLE STALLS IN MID-DAY CITY TRAFFIC. AND AGAIN THIS MORNING. THE GAS TANK IS STILL QUITE FULL (IT SHOWS OVER "F" ON THE GAUGE). I _NEVER_ TOP OFF WHEN I FILL - I SIMPLY WAIT UNTIL THE FILLER TURNS ITSELF OFF WHEN FILLING. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE FIRST OCCURRENCE IN MID NOVEMBER OF 2012, WHICH I INITIALLY (AS INDICATED) WROTE OFF AS BAD GAS DUE TO HURRICANE SANDY (I FIGURED THE STORM MAY HAVE CAUSED WATER IN THE TANKS OF GAS STATIONS). AFTER HEARING ABOUT NUMEROUS ISSUES ON THIS, I WANTED TO ADD MY EXPERIENCES TO THE GROWING LIST. THE CAR IN QUESTION IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8. *TR

I COMPLETELY FILLED UP MY GAS TANK (NOT JUST A TOP OFF) FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES, WHILE IN THE TURNING LANE AND CROSSING TRAFFIC MY CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER TO SAFETY. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND "COAST" TO THE SIDE. LUCKILY I WAS TURNING AT A TURNING LIGHT AND THERE WASN'T HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARED ME! I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. IT WOULDN'T "TURN OVER" THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME TRYING TO START IT, IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT WOULD START AND THEN FINALLY STARTED. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON (AFTER THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF) WAS THE OIL LIKE. MY OIL IS COMPLETELY FULL. WAS JUST CHANGED A MONTH AGO USING SYNTHETIC. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 25,000 AND APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

WE FILLED UP THE TANK, NOT TOPPING OFF, AND HEADED HOME. THE CAR WAS RUNNING SMOOTHLY, HESITATED AND STALLED. NO ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS, ETC. IT ALSO STALLED SETTING AT A RED LIGHT AND AT VARIOUS OTHER SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED AGAIN AFTER EVERY FILL UP SINCE. IF YOU PUT IN PARK IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. CHRYSLER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR DENY A PROBLEM WHEN CONTACTED. I WAS TOLD TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND CALL THEM BACK. ONE SERVICE REP, AT THE DEALERSHIP, ACKNOWLEDGE A COUPLE OF OTHERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM THE CAR IS CURRENTLY THERE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. WE KEEP OUR VEHICLES SERVICES, SO THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM. *TR

JUST FILLED UP CAR AT GAS STATION (DON'T TOP OFF) EXITED LOT AND PROCEEDED ON ROAD WAY AND CAR JUST DIED.LOST ALL POWER, HAD JUST GOTTEN UP TO ABOUT 15 MPH.TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (. WAS TOLD TO REPLACE CAM-CRANK SENSOR). TOW SERVICE $80.00 WORK DONE $760.00. NEXT INCIDENT, DECEMBER 3, 2012, JUST FILLED CAR UP (NOT TOPPING OFF) SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, TOW SERVICE $80.00. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE EVAP CANISTER AND PURGE SOLENOID. COST TO REPLACE $630.89. LATEST INCIDENT WAS ON JULY 5, 2013 FILLED UP AT STATION , SAME AS BEFORE, THIS TIME THE CAR DIED ON THE FREEWAY. TOOK 3 POLICE OFFICERS TO PUSH MY CAR OFF THE FREEWAY AND OUT OF HARMS WAY. ONCE AGAIN HAD THE CAR TOWED ($100.00 THIS TIME) TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. TODAY IS JULY 31, 2013 AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND THE VENTS IN THE GAS TANK ARE CLOGGED. THE COST TO ME WILL BE $1,800.00 TO REPLACE AND ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER LARGE EXPENSE. UNTIL MY BOYFRIEND BROUGHT IN SOME PAPERWORK HE FOUND ON A "CHRYSLER FORUM"( INDICATING THAT THERE WERE OVER 92 PEOPLE THAT HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ) THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE AND THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. WE ASKED THEM TO TAKE SOME OF THE GAS OUT OF THE TANK AND TAKE THE CAR TO THE GAS STATION AND FILL UP THE CAR. WELL AFTER GETTING GAS THE CAR DIED ON THE SERVICE REPS. NOT JUST ONCE BUT 3 TIMES. THIS WHOLE TIME THEY HAD MY CAR, NOT ONCE DID ANY CODES SHOW UP. WORK ON MY CAR IS NOW PENDING. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER, THIS WAS MY DREAM CAR AND I CAN'T EVEN ENJOY IT. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 23,000 MILES AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER DOES NOT RECALL THESE CARS. MY CONFIDENCE AND SATISFACTION WITH THE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW. *TR

AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ON JULY 6TH, 2013, THE SALESMAN FILLED THE CAR UP WITH GAS. HE HAD THE CAR RUNNING & BEFORE I COULD GET IN THE CAR, IT SWITCHED ITSELF OFF, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS AFTER THE FIRST TIME I FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS, WHICH WAS JULY 26TH, I DROVE TO MY NEXT STOP & MY CAR SWITCHED OFF WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE. THE NEXT TIME WAS JULY 29TH, MY HUSBAND FILLED THE CAR UP & THE CAR SWITCHED OFF TWICE!!! THE NEXT TIME WAS THE NEXT DAY, JULY 30TH, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT & THE CAR SWITCHED OFF. I HAVE NOT MADE THE 1ST PAYMENT ON THE CAR, HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!! *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT WITHIN 3 MILES AFTER REFUELING (FULL TANK). FORTUNATELY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AHEAD OF ME, AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST INTO A PARKING SPACE STRAIGHT AHEAD. AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER OWNERS, I LOST ALL POWER "EVERYTHING" STEERING, ETC. VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY SUSPECTED THE TROUBLE WAS RELATED TO A FULL FUEL TANK AND FAILING VAPOR VENT VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. I'M PARAPHRASING HERE BUT AS I UNDERSTOOD IT, LIQUID FUEL WAS BREACHING THE VENT VALVE WHEN TYPICALLY ONLY VAPORS ARE VENTED. REMEDY: REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. AN EXPENSIVE SOLUTION FOR WHAT IS SEEMINGLY A DEFECT EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS. THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED, AND ONCE THE PART ARRIVED, I WAS TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK WITH AS LITTLE FUEL AS POSSIBLE IN THE TANK. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, I COULDN'T TIME THE RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY APPOINTMENT SO I HAD TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. I PURPOSELY DID NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK TO FULL, AND CONSEQUENTLY, DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY SUBSEQUENT STALLING UNTIL I COULD RETURN THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICING. *TR

I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR STALLS WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN/U TURN OR HARD STOP/START. THE CAR WILL STALL AND THE ESP/BASS AND OIL LIGHTS COME ON. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL THE KEY HAS BEEN TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE DEALER ALWAYS TELLS ME IT IS OPERATING NORMALLY. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND WAS JUST LIVING WITH IT AFTER THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF WARRANTY. IT WAS ONLY AFTER I READ ANOTHER PERSON'S ACCOUNT ONLINE THAT I REALIZED IT WAS HAPPENING AFTER A FUEL FILL (I DO NOT TOP OFF MY TANK). AFTER LEARNING THIS, I CAN NOW MAKE THE CAR STALL ON DEMAND. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FILL IT UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, THEN MAKE A HARD TURN BACK AND FORTH AND THE CAR STALLS. IF YOU PULL OUT FROM THE GAS STATION SLOWLY AND MAKE NO SHARP MOVEMENTS, THE CAR WILL NOT STALL. THE DANGEROUS PART OF THIS IS IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL. *TR

EVERY TIME AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL TANK OF FUEL VEHICLE STALLS AND SOMETIMES SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE IT RESTARTS. ONCE THE FUEL TANK LEVEL GOES DOWN ABOUT A GALLON, THE PROBLEM STOPS. THIS ALWAYS OCCURS AFTER REFUELING TO A FULL TANK OF FUEL. IF I FILL TO ABOUT 3/4 TANK THE CAR CAN STALL BUT NOT ALWAYS. THE ONLY KNOWN FIX TO WORK ALL THE TIME IS A NEW GAS TANK FOR $1500 TO INSTALL. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I STALLED WAS AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK , I WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC WHEN IT STALLED, NEARLY GETTING HIT BY AN ON COMING CAR. SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS STALLED AT LEAST SIX TIMES. I WENT TO MY CHRYSLER DEALER WHO CLAIMS THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER WHEN IT STALLED , LEAVING ME IN THE FAR LEFT LANE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED IT AGAIN AT WHICH TIME I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS STILL NO RECALL ON THE CAR AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE IT. I AM GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/30/13 (HILTON HEAD CHRYSLER, HWY 278 ,FORDING ISLAND RD,.,HARDEVILLE, SC) *TR

IT HAS DIED IN INTERSECTIONS WERE WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN RUN INTO AND IN TURNS WHERE IS LOCKS UP AND THERE IS NO POWER ANYTHING AND HAVE ALMOST CRASHED. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CONTINUOUSLY PAY MONEY TO FIX WHAT THEY THINK IT IS AND NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME THEY ARE ASKING FOR ALMOST 1800 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TANK.

I FILLED UP MY CAR WITH PREMIUM FUEL (AS ALWAYS) AND STOPPED THE FILL AT THE FIRST CLICK OF THE GAS PUMP. I STARTED MY CAR AND RESET MY TRIP INFORMATION INTO MY COMPUTER AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND GOT ON THE 59 NORTH FEEDER ROAD. IT STARTED JERKING LIKE THE ENGINE WAS CUTTING OUT SO I SLOWED DOWN AND WHEN I SLOWED DOWN IT COMPLETED DIED ON THE FEEDER ROAD. I STARTED BACK UP AND IT MISSED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND DIED AGAIN AT THE RED LIGHT. IT SEEMS THAT IF YOU ARE ON AN OPEN STRETCH OF ROAD GOING OVER 30 OR 40 IT WON'T DIE - BUT WILL CUT OUT AND JERK REALLY BAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ANOTHER 10-15 TIMES SINCE THEN. I STOPPED FILLING THE CAR UP AND JUST PUT IN 3/4 TANK. MY HUSBAND WILL FORGET AND FILL IT UP AND IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE CAR UP. IT HAS DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS LEAVING A GAS STATION, IT HAS DIED IN INTERSECTIONS AFTER LEAVING A RED LIGHT. VERY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS! *TR

CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER GAS FILL UP. CAR NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO DEALER. DEAL WANTED $1700 TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. UNTIMATELY COST ME ABOUT $1200 AND THE DEALER PAID $540 TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN MARCH 2006 AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER/DRIVER. I DO LIKE MY CAR AND WILL BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER 300C. WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW I HAD SEVERAL STALLING ISSUES WHERE THE CAR WOULD STALL AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I DO NOT RECALL IF IT WAS AFTER REFUELING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND NO "CODES" WERE FOUND AND THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR THAN RAN PERFECTLY FOR SIX YEARS WITH NO STALLING ISSUES. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED INCLUDING NEW SPARK PLUGS AS RECOMMENDED BY CHRYSLER. STARTING EARLIER THIS YEAR THE STALLING RESTARTED AND IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER I FILL THE CAR WITH FUEL. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL OTHER GAS STATIONS AND RAN SOME FUEL INJECTION CLEANER THROUGH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I DO NOT TOP OFF THE TANK WHEN FILLING THE CAR UP. AT ONE POINT THE STALLING OCCURRED AFTER EVERY FILL UP AND NOW IT IS NOT AS OFTEN (EVERY OTHER FILL UP). AFTER FILLING THE TANK THE CAR STARTS NORMALLY AND AS I EXIT THE GAS STATION AND STOP TO CHECK TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL STUMBLE AND STALL. IT RESTARTS AND WILL STALL AGAIN IF I DON'T KEEP THE ENGINE RPM'S UP. SOMETIMES AFTER I FILL UP AND QUICKLY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC (AND NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO FALL TO IDLE SPEED) WHILE ACCELERATING UP TO 25-40 MPH THE CAR WILL STUMBLE AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL. IT DOES NOT STALL BECAUSE THE CAR IS GAINING SPEED AND THEN CLEARS UP AFTER A "SURGE" AND THEN RUNS FINE TILL THE NEXT FILL UP CYCLE. I AM CAREFUL ABOUT PULLING OUT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AFTER FILL UPS OUT OF FEAR OF IT STALLING. *TR

I BACKED MY VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, HEADED DOWNHILL TO THE INTERSECTION. I STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN, AS I ACCELERATED LEAVING THE STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. I PLACED THE SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. DROVE TO THE NEXT INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING. AFTER THE INITIAL PROBLEM I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS, AND IS, STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE A FAILED THROTTLE CONTROL AND BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY, ESTIMATED COST OF AROUND $1,000. THEY WOULD NOT SAY FOR SURE IF THE REPAIRS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THESE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT SPORADICALLY THIS PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, SOMETIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHERE I COULD EASILY BE REAR ENDED. MY VEHICLE HAS THE 5.7 LITER HEMI V8 ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

Mileage: 86,321

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK FULL I DROVE THE CAR 1-2 MILES AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO GO FORWARD THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED. I COASTED TO A STOP JUST PAST THE INTERSECTION AND WAS ABLE TO RE-START IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT A MILE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD ONLY THIS TIME I WAS NOT STOPPED, BUT DRIVING AND ACCELERATING AND IT DIED AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO A STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THEN STOPPED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE NEXT TIME I FILLED THE GAS TANK UP WITH VERY SIMILAR ISSUES, AND AGAIN STOPPED AFTER THE GAS TANK HAD USED SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK (AT A COST OF $1600). THE TECHNICIAN THEN TOLD ME THAT IF I KEPT THE GAS TANK AT 75% FULL AND NOT COMPLETELY FILL IT I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS. HE WAS RIGHT, SINCE THESE EVENTS IN DECEMBER OF 2012 I HAVE ONLY FILLED IT TO 75% FULL AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I READ IN THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS ON 05/16/2013 THAT THIS MODEL OF CHRYSLER IS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR THE PROBLEM I HAVE TOLD YOU OF.

IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO RE-START THE CAR. ENGINE DIES APPROXIMATELY 4+ TIMES UNTIL IT RUNS FINE. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY, NOT EVERYTIME CAR IS FUELED UP. I FILL UP AT 1/2 TANK TWICE A WEEK. THIS INCIDENT OCCURS PERIODICALLY - ABOUT ONCE MONTH. I HAVE HAD THE CAR DIE AS I AM CROSSING BUSY INTERSECTIONS, TURNING INTO A SIDE ROAD ENOUGH TIMES THAT I HAVE BLOCKED TRAFFIC AND HAVE FEAR OF BEING T-BONED BECAUSE THE CAR DIES WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF CROSSING A STREET OR WHEN MAKING A TURN. *TR

THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR ONLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY. INTERNET CHATTER SEEMS TO INDICATE A BAD EVAP SOLENOID/CANISTER. APPARENTLY THIS IS PART OF THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK AND IS A COSTLY FIX. THIS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND STALL EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

THE DEALER STATED THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE CHAR COAL CANISTER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 03/30/11

Mileage: 30,000

2006 CHRYSLER 300C ENGINE: 5.7 LITER SPMI ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN ANYWHERE FROM 0-40MPH. IT COULD OCCUR WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON, HAPPENING WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, WHICH WOULD BRING THE MILES PER HOUR BELOW 40MPR. SO ACTUALLY WHATEVER YOU WOULD DO TO BRING THE SPEED LIMIT BELOW 40MPH IS OF NO REAL IMPORTANCE. THE REST OF THE THINGS WOULD NOT BE WORTH MENTIONING BECAUSE ANYTHING YOU DID TO BRING THE MILES PER HOUR BELOW 40 IS ALL THAT IS IMPORTANT (IT EVEN WOULD STOP AT A STOP SIGN). IF IT WAS SAFE TO ACCELERATE YOU COULD STOP THE SHUT DOWN. IT NEVER STOPPED OR TRIED TO STOP AT HIGH SPEEDS. COMMON DENOMINATOR ON ENGINE SHUTDOWN APPEARED TO BE A FULL TANK OF GAS OR RELATIVELY FULL TANK OF GAS. PROBLEM STARTED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 2008 BEFORE TAKING TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE (FINAL REPAIR DONE JUNE 27, 2009). MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTICS LATER THE PROBLEM APPEARS FIXED; USING A 'BLACK BOX' FOR THE CAR THE DEALER FINALLY REPLACED (AFTER REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS OF THE ENGINE AND COMPUTER COMPONENTS): (FROM DEALER INVOICE) REPLACE RETAINER, GAS TANK, CANISTER, SELENOID-PROPORTIONAL, O RING-FUEL PUMP AND LEVE, RETAINER, PIN. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM ON LAST INVOICE: TOOK MULTIPLE RECORDINGS OF MULTIPLE SENSORS, POWERS, GROUNDS, EVAP SYSTEM, ETC. READ RECORDINGS FOUND MOST COMMON EVAP PURGE WHEN ENGINE DIES. REMOVED EVAP CANISTER TO CHECK FOR FUEL LIQUID, NONE. REINSTALLED CANISTER, PLUGGED OFF PURGE SYSTEM. HAD DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL MILES TO SEE IF VEHICLE STUMBLES, DROVE WITH NO PROBLEMS. REPLACED GAS TANK AND TRANSFERRED NEEDED PARTS. FLOW CONTROL VALVE NOT SEALING, REPLACED CANISTER, SATURATED WITH FUEL. REPLACED PURGE SOLENOID, ALSO SATURATED. RECHECK OK. *TR

A HOLE GOT PUNCHED IN MY FUEL TANK ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C WHEN IT WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A PAVED HIGHWAY AND THE DRIVER DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING THAT WAS HIT ON THE ROADWAY TO CAUSE THIS MUCH DAMAGE. THE DEALER STATES IT IS A ROAD HAZARD AND I CONTEST THIS RULING AND THINK THE FUEL TANK IS SUBSTANDARD IF IT FAILS THIS EASILY. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN WITH THE SAFETY OF OPERATING THIS VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE ADVISE HOW TO CONTINUE WITH MY CONTESTING THIS RULING BY THE DEALER SINCE IT IS COSTING ME AROUND $1,000.00 PLUS RENTAL AUTO COSTS TO GET THIS ISSUE CORRECTED WITH A NEW FUEL TANK. I THINK THIS SHOULD NOT EVER HAPPEN ON A PAVED HIGHWAY AND SHOULD NOT BE AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THE FUEL TANK WAS NOT CONSTRUCTED WITH SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO PROTECT ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR
