FUELED THE VEHICLE, ATTENDANT "TOPPED IT OFF". STARTED VEHICLE AND IT SPUTTERED, RUNNING POORLY AS IF IT HAD A FUEL ISSUE. SMELT FUEL FROM UNDER THE HOOD. LET VEHICLE SET FOR 10 MINUTES, STARTED UP VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO A 4-LANE MAIN HIGHWAY. JUST AS WE ACCELERATED FROM THE STOP LIGHT, THE CAR SPUTTERED, THEN DIED. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC. LET THE UNIT SET FOR 10 MINUTES, RAN THE VEHICLE AND NO FURTHER ISSUES THAT DAY. AT THE NEXT FILL UP, THE SAME PATTERN EMERGED. A THIRD INCIDENT OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS LATER AND I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE CAUTIONED THE FUEL ATTENDANTS TO NOT "TOP IT OFF" AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT REOCCURRED. *TR

IT FINALLY LANDED INTO A DITCH OF WATER. LOTS OF WATER DAMAGE, AND DAMAGE TO THE BODY. NO ONE WAS HURT, BECAUSE NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE. MAY VEHICLE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C BOUGHT IT NEW AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL 2012 WHEN WE WERE TRAVELING FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND STOPPED TO REFUEL. AFTER FILLING THE TANK WE STARTED THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE, THE CAR STARTED BUCKING AND THEN WOULD SHUT OFF. IT DID THIS TWICE BEFORE IT STOPPED AND THEN DROVE FINE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. IT DID THE SAME THING ON OUR WAY HOME AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK BUT AFTER DOING IT SEVERAL TIMES IT DROVE FINE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. ONCE HOME THE CAR DROVE FINE UNTIL I FILLED IT UP WITH GAS AND THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. IT BUCKS AND THEN STALLS, SOMETIMES IT WILL START RIGHT AWAY AND OTHER TIMES I HAD TO LET IT SIT A WHILE. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHILE JUST DRIVING ALONG. THIS IS SCARY AS WELL AS DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES IT STOP ANYWHERE WHICH COULD CAUSE ANOTHER CAR TO HIT YOU, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND ON ONE OCCASION I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULDN'T STEER OUT OF THE WAY DURING A TURN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK GAVE ME INFO ABOUT CANNISTERS AND VAPORS AND NOT BEING SOMETHING THAT IS SERVICEABLE. OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE BUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS A DANGER ON THE ROAD COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR IT WILL STUTTER AND STALL RANDOMLY. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT TWICE AND HONKED AT NUMEROUS TIMES FOR A BASIC, YET DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR
