2005 Chrysler 300c complaints

WHEN I START MY CAR (2005 CHRYSLER 300C) THE GEAR SHIFT IS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. CAR STARTS NORMALLY, NO READINGS ON DASH, GAVE NO INDICATION THAT A FAILURE WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND GAVE MY VIN NUMBER TO CHECK FOR RECALLS, THERE ARE NONE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND VIDEOS ON HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WHEN I SEARCHED THE ISSUE ON LINE. CHRYSLER USED WHAT AMOUNTS TO A PLASTIC TIE AND A SPRING TO CONTROL A 35K VEHICLE. *TR

LATE 2004 WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT CAR NEW WENT TO PICK UP CAR HORN DID NOT WORK ,REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY ALWAYS HARD TO PUSH ON STEERING WHEEL NEVER WAS RIGHT, TO DATE HORN DOES NOT WORK 6/16/2014. *TR

GEAR SHIFTER LOCKED IN PARK. HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER. *TR

DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A RURAL DIVIDED HIGHWAY AT APPROX 65MPH ALL EXTERNAL LIGHTS GO OUT. ALL DASH, NAVIGATION, AND WARNING LIGHTS TURN ON FULL BRIGHTNESS. COULD NOT SEE OUTSIDE. HAD TO COME TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND LIGHTS OPERATED NORMALLY. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. SEEMS TO HAPPEN OFTEN MORE WHEN COLD OUTSIDE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY CAR WITH GAS THE CAR STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. CAR RESTARTS BUT IF ON HIGHWAY ALL POWER IS LOST - SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

IN REFERENCE TO PE13016, THE ACTION REFERS TO CARS FROM MODEL YEARS 2005 AND 2006. YET, THE FINAL INVESTIGATION RESULTS ONLY INCLUDE THE 2006 MODEL YEAR? IF 2005 CARS ARE AFFECTED (AS MINE HAS BEEN SINCE 2011 AND IS DOCUMENTED IN 300C USER FORUMS ON THE INTERNET BY ME AT THE TIME), THEN WHY IS MY CAR NOT INCLUDED? I UNDERSTAND THAT NOW, SOME OWNERS ARE RECEIVING "LIFETIME WARRANTY" LETTERS FOR THE 19-GAL GAS TANK THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE SUDDEN STALLS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER, YET MY CAR DOES HAVE (AND WAS FOUND BY THE NHTSA THAT 2005 MODEL YEAR WAS AFFECT) THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO NOT FILL UP THE GAS TANK EVERYTIME. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED, YET I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. PLEASE ADVISE ME (IN WRITING OR BY PHONE) AS TO WHY YOU FOUND 2005 CARS PROBLEMATIC, YET ONLY INCLUDED 2006 CARS IN YOUR FINAL INVESTIGATION SUMMARY TO BE AFFECTED. *TR

WHILE DROPPING MY GRANDCHILDREN OFF HOME. MY CHRYSLER 300C HEMI ENGINE AFTER SHUT OFF DID NOT RESTART. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, IT WAS STATED THAT THE VALVE SEAT DROP, CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PISTON. A REVIEW OF INFORMATION ONLINE REVIEWED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER GAS TANK IS FILLED UP. CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND AT INTERSECTIONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. REVIEW ON INTERNET SHOWS THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. CURRENT SOLUTION IS TO AVOID FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. *JS

EVERY TIME AFTER GAS FILL UP FROM THE FIRST TIME IN DEC 2012 TO NOW, THIS CAR STALLS AFTER FILL UP. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN MAY 2004 FROM CHRYSLER DEALER AND ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN WITH BOSAK CHRYSLER. I WAS THINKING GAS FILTERS, BUT UNTIL I CHECKED HERE TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL, FOUND THAT TOO MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T SEE ANY NOTIFICATIONS FILED BY CHRYSLER, ARE WE ALL TO ASSUME THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE LIGHTS TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON. THIS HAS OCCUR ON MANY TIMES. I RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SUPPOSE TO HAD THE ECU. THAT WORK FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I RETURN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAS CONTINUES TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND NO PROBLEM. NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY NAV SYSTEM AND THE RADIO LIGHTNING. *TR

LIGHTING PROBLEMS. *TR

AFTER FILLING TANK WITH FUEL, CAR STALLED AT NEXT FEW INTERSECTIONS. HAD TO TURN OFF COMPLETELY FOR TRANSMISSION TO RESET AND ENGAGE SEVERAL TIMES. HAS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY BUT NOT SURE OF DATE, APPROXIMATELY IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING AND SITTING STILL IN MOVING TRAFFIC, THIS CREATES A TRUE HAZARD. HAVE OWNED VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. *TR

AFTER I FILLED THE GAS TANK, I STARTED THE ENGINE, LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER THE CAR STALLED. IT STALLED TWICE BEFORE I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND AS I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. IT STALLED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I PULLED INTO A SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF THE MAIN TRAFFIC AREA. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF THE ENGINE RUNNING AND DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, THE STALLING STOPPED. I WILL INCLUDE, I DID NOT OVERFILL, I NEVER DO. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED TWICE AND HOPE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. *TR

I PULLED INTO A BP GAS STATION TO PURCHASE FILL UP. AFTER FILL UP I PROCEEDED DOWN THE STREET AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT, WAITED FOR GREEN LIGHT, BUT DIDN'T NOTICE CAR HAD SHUT DOWN. PEOPLE BEHIND HONKING BECAUSE I HAD NOT MOVED. CRANKED UP AGAIN, CAR MOVED A LITTLE. SO TWO YOUNG MEN GOT OUT AND PUSHED ME OUT OF THE STREET AS I WAS LITERALLY A SITTING DUCK IN THE STREET. I CALLED SOMEONE TO COME AND CHECK IT OUT AND HE DROVE IT HOME, BUT IT STOPPED ON HIM THREE TIMES BEFORE HE GOT IT HOME. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS HAS BEEN AND ONGOING PROCESS FOR ME SINCE OCTOBER 12, 2012. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT AS LONG AS I DO NOT FILL IT TO THE TOP IT IS OKAY AND WILL COOPERATE. THIS IS NO WAY TO USE A CAR. I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL BUT I KNOW I NEVER RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF ONE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 42141 MILES ON MY CAR SO IT IS HARDLY DRIVEN AND I EXPECTED THIS TO BE MY LAST CAR PURCHASE WITH GAS ISSUES SUCH AS THIS WHO KNOWS. WHEN I GET GAS NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL TO GET IT HOME BEFORE IT CUTS OFF. I CAN ONLY BE THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY; I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT , INJURED OR KILLED. WHAT ARE MY RECOURSES AT THIS LATE DATE. IS RECALL STILL AVAILABLE. PISSED OFF 300C OWNER. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND SPEED WAS REDUCED TO ABOUT 20 MPH. WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTED TO SPURT AND THEN SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT ONCE IT SLOWED DOWN AGAIN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BUT FORTUNATELY THE TRUCK BEHIND ME STOPPED IN TIME. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL SO ONCE THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK FULL THE SHUT DOWNS CEASE. DOES IT TAKE FATAL ACCIDENTS LIKE WHAT GM HAD BEFORE CHRYSLER ISSUES A RECALL? *TR

FILLED UP GAS TANK AND WAS LEAVING STATION AND CAR STALLED OUT. RESTARTED AND PROCEEDED ON BUSY ROADWAY, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS NOT EXPECTING ME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 300C'S OF THIS YEAR (2005). I FOUND THIS TO BE AVOIDABLE BY FILLING THE TANK TO ONLY 3/4. THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION PLAN FOR THE 2006 WITH THIS ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2005 MODEL. I VISITED THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING PROBLEM FOR 300C'S. MY CAR HAS CUT OUT IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND CONTINUES TO BE DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

AFTER I FILL UP MY CAR'S GAS TANK AND DRIVE AWAY, THE CAR WILL STALL AT THE FIRST SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS I REACH. EVENTUALLY IT RUNS FINE ? UNTIL IT'S TIME TO FILL UP THE CAR AGAIN, AT WHICH TIME THE CYCLE REPEATS. MY CAR HAS CUT OUT IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS; ONLY LUCK HAS PREVENTED ME FROM HAVING A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I READ MANY OTHER 300C OWNERS DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL? *TR

AFTER FILL UP, THE CAR STALLS AT SLOW SPEED 3 - 4 TIMES BEFORE STAYING RUNNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOT DEPENDENT ON TYPE OF GAS, WEATHER, OVERFILL, ETC. VERY DANGEROUS. CONSEQUENTLY WE ONLY FILL THE CAR TO 3/4 FULL. *JS

I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300C 2005. THE CAR STALLED 4 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT SEEMS TO BE WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND I WOULD SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30-40 MPH AND THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL. VERY DANGEROUS. THE STEERING WOULD LOCK UP AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO START THE CAR AGAIN. NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN WITH YOUR FAMILY IN THE CAR. *JS

FILLED UP GAS TANK AND WAS LEAVING STATION AND CAR STALLED OUT. RESTARTED AND PROCEEDED ONTO SUBURBAN MAIN ARTERY AND AS ACCELERATING FROM TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS NOT EXPECTING ME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD AND CRASHED INTO THE READ OF MY CAR. DAMAGE TO BOTH BUMPER COVERS, BUT NEITHER VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVEABLE AS THE SPEED WAS VERY SLOW. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 300C'S OF THIS YEAR AND IS AVOIDABLE BY FILLING THE TANK TO ONLY 3/4 OR SO. THIS TIME IT WAS FILLED BY THE STATION ATTENDANT TO THE PUMP CLICK SHUT OFF (LIKE YOU'D FILL THE TANK OF A NORMAL CAR). THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION PLAN FOR THE 2006 WITH THIS ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE 2005 MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS 2005 CHRYSLER 300C ON NOVEMBER 20, 2013 FROM HOOVER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND EVER SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT EVERY TIME I GET GAS AND I DO NOT OVER FILL MY TANK BUT DO FILL IT UP TO ALMOST FULL. ANYWAYS THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES I'VE HAD IT STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS DOING THIS I TRADED MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER SXT WHICH WASN'T THE HEMI FOR A HEMI AND FEEL LIKE I GOT A WORST ENGINE. ANYWAYS I REALLY HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED BY CHRYSLER I'VE SPENT ALOT ON REPAIRS AND THIS ISN'T FAIR THAT THE BUYER HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM I'VE OWNED PLENTY OF CARS AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN SO OBVIOUSLY CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE! *TR

THE CAR REPEATEDLY STALLS AFTER A FILL UP. THIS WILL REPEAT ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE FIRST FEW MILES BEFORE IT STOPS. IF I DON'T FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP IT WILL NOT STALL. THIS HAS CAUSED A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS (TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC) AND SHORT, TEMPORARY TRAFFIC DELAY WHILE I RESTART. *TR

THE VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING AND IT SEEMS DIRECTLY RELATED TO WHEN I FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH GAS. I HAVE A 19 GALLON FUEL TANK. EVERY TIME A FILL THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUES TO STALL (EVEN AT 60 MPH) UNTIL THE GAS STARTS TO EMPTY OUT OF THE TANK. AS THE GAS EMPTIES, IT STALLS LESS AND LESS. AS SOON AS I REFILL, THE PROBLEM STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. I HEARD THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANK MULTIFUNCTIONAL CONTROL VALVE, WHICH SEEMS TO EXACTLY CORRELATE WITH THE ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED AUTO DEALER. *TR

EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO FULL THIS VEHICLE STALLS. AT 3/4 FILL IT DOES NOT OCCUR. IN LIGHT OF THE CHEVY COBALT TRAGEDY PERHAPS A PROPER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DEFECT WILL COMMENCE. THIS ISN'T A NUISANCE "TEMPORARY GLITCH" ISSUE, BECAUSE WHENEVER A CAR LOSES POWER UNEXPECTEDLY IT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A NUISANCE ISSUE. I EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE STALL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ENTERING A FREEWAY JUST AFTER FUELING AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. HALF-BAKED SUGGESTIONS LIKE DON'T FILL THE TANK FULL ARE SILLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC REPAIR RECOMMENDATION. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP WITH THE CORRECT GASOLINE THE CAR STALLED AND TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AFTER SPUTTERING FOR THE NEXT TEN MILES OR SO. UPON STARTING IT UP IT TAKES TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS STALLED EVERY TIME FOR THE NEXT TEN MILES OR SO AFTER FUELING. IT HAS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF ONCE WHILE TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THERE IS NO WARNING AS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN ONLY AN EXPECTATION THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AFTER EVERY REFUELING. I NOTE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME CAR FOR THE SAME REASON BUT A YEAR YOUNGER - 2006. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

WHEN I COMPLETELY FILL MY GAS TANK, MY CAR WILL STALL FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MILES AT IDLE SPEEDS. SO EVERY TIME I STOP AT A LIGHT, I BASICALLY HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR FOR A MILE OR TWO UNTIL SOME GAS IS USED. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT COMPLETELY AND RESTART THE CAR AS THE CAR WON'T GO INTO GEAR (IE: THE GEARS NEED TO RESET). THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING PERIODICALLY WHILE THE CARE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY WITH GAS. I HAVE A SON AND DAUGHTER THAT ARE STARTING TO DRIVE THIS YEAR, AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO LET THEM DRIVE THIS CAR. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL LONG AGO AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO WONDERING, IF I PAY THE $1,500 TO PUT IN A NEW GAS TANK AND THERE ULTIMATELY IS A RECALL, WILL I BE ABLE TO GET REIMBURSED? THAT WOULD BE VERY USEFUL INFORMATION. THANK YOU. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FULL OR PARTIAL FILL-UP AT GAS STATION. VERY DANGEROUS IF STALL OCCURS WHEN IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC OR WHEN MAKING TURNS IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC!! *TR

CAR STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP , HARD TO RESTART ONLY AFTER FILL UP AT GAS STATION WITH FULL TANK OF GAS, REACHES 3/4 TANK OF GAS CAR RUNS FINE. *TR

NEW ENGINE INSTALLED IN 2008: EVERY TIME, AFTER I PUT FUEL INTO THE GAS TANK AND DRIVE AWAY, THE ENGINE SURGES AND THEN STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE 15 MIN TRIP HOME. AT TIMES THE CAR SURGES FORWARD AND I HAVE TO BREAK TO AVOID HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR IS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 HEMI WITH A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED IN 2008. MY ORIGINAL ENGINE WAS FLOODED WITH WATER, HENCE THE REPLACEMENT. *TR

I OWN A CHRYSLER 2005 300C. THE HAD NO FUEL PROBLEMS UNTIL THE ODOMETER REACHED APPROX. 50K MILES. IT THEN STARTED TO STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I WOULD HAVE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE IN PARK OR DRIVING UNDER 60 MPH. I HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHICH CREATED SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES UNLESS I GOT IT RESTARTED QUICKLY. I WOULD HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER DRIVING FOR A DAY OR SO. I HAVE ASKED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IF THERE WERE ANY TSB'S ON THE PROBLEM ANS HAVE BEEN TOLD NO. OWNERS ON THE CHRYSLER'S OWNER FORUM WITH MY TYPE OF CAR ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE AND SAY THAT THERE IS AN ISSUES WITH THE GAS TANKS THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING AND WHETHER THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL OR LOW IN FUEL. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SPORADICALLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22000 AND 38,000. UPDATED 04/29/14*LJ *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,00.

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AT BREDEMANN'S CHEVEROLET LAST TUESDAY, THEY FORGOT TO FILL UP THE TANK SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TODAY TO GET FILLED UP. AFTER THEY FILLED UP THE TANK I WENT ON MY WAY AND BEFORE I CAN GET ON THE ROAD THE ENGINE DIED. I RESTARTED IT AND IT STAYED ON A BIT THEN DIED AGAIN. AFTER A FEW TIMES OF THIS THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AND SEEMED OKAY SO I GOT ON THE ROAD, AFTER DRIVING A FEW FEET THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SO I RESTARTED IT AGAIN AND TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SALESMAN TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND WE DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE LOT A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMED OKAY SO I THOUGHT WOW, THAT WAS WEIRD...I THANK THE SALESMAN AND WENT ON MY WAY I GOT A FEW BLOCKS AND THE CAR DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT'S A PRETTY SCARY FEELING BECAUSE IT WOULD DIE ALL OF US SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. I'VE BEEN READING REPORTS AND FORUMS ALL DAY TODAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. WOULD THIS BE PART OF A RECALL OR WOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS. I CAN'T AFFORD BIG REPAIRS RIGHT NOW, CONSIDERING I'VE JUST PUT DOWN CASH TO BUY THIS CAR.

CAR STALLS OUT AFTER REFUELING,KEEPS DYING 4 TO 5 TIMES AFTER FILLING UP. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, AND WHEN LEAVING THE GAS STATION, AS I'M SLOWING DOWN TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER A FILL UP OF HALF A TANK OR MORE. DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I TOP OFF TANK WHEN I'M DOWN TO 3/4 TANK. I GET THE CAR RESTARTED AND PULL OUT BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS MISSING. WHEN I START SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP, THE CAR WILL STALL AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 4 TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND THERE ARE NO CODES STORED. THE CAR HAS 155000 MILES ON IT, AND THIS STARTED HAPPING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT ONLY DID IT ONE TIME THEN MAYBE A MONTH LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. IT WASN'T DOING ALL THE TIME THEN BUT NOW IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT THAT IT DOES IT AT EVERY FILL UP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE I GOT SOME BAD GAS, BUT I'VE READ WHERE OTHER 300C OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE.

CAR STALLS ABOUT 1 MILE AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. HAS STALLED GOING LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, LEAVING ME WITH VERY LITTLE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE .A MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT I FILL UP BEFORE ITS UNDER HALF FULL BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP ANY. NOW I FILL UP BEFORE I GO INTO A NEARBY GROCERY STORE AND AFTERWARDS I START THE CAR A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMS TO PREVENT IT FROM STALLING. LAST WEEK MY HUSBAND DECIDED TO DRIVE IT TO WORK (LONG DRIVE) AND DIDN'T TAKE MY ADVICE DURING FILL UP AND IT STALLED SHORTLY AFTER GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I HAD JUST COMPLETED A FUEL FILL-UP AND UPON DRIVING AWAY FROM THE PUMP THE ENGINE DIED, LOSING ALL POWER. WITH 3-4 ATTEMPTED RESTARTS THE CAR MOVED FOR SHORT DISTANCES AND REPEATEDLY DIED. WHEN IT DID RESTART, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN DRIVE. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR WOULD RUN NORMALLY AND WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. THE LATEST INCIDENT (AFTER 3 INCIDENTS) OCCURRED FEB 4, 2014. AFTER MY MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT ON FEB 7 AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES TO OTHER VEHICLES. CHRYSLER CORP SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL IN MY OPINION. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CHRYSLER 300C ON 1/8/2014. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WITH AN ALMOST FULL TANK OF GAS AND EXPERIENCED NO PROBLEMS UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, AND MAKING SURE NOT TO TOP IT OFF AS THE MANUAL SUGGESTS, I SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED THE CAR JERKING, ALMOST LIKE A DOWN SHIFT FEELING, AND THEN IT STALLED. I WAS JUST LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I DROVE ANOTHER MILE AND THEN MADE A TURN INTO MY SUBDIVISION AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. THEY SUPPOSEDLY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND SAID THAT NOTHING WAS DETECTED. THEY ASKED IF ANY LIGHTS CAME ON AND I TOLD THEM ONLY THE OIL LIGHT. THEY TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE NEXT COUPLE OF TIMES I FILLED UP I USED A PREPAID GAS CARD WHICH DIDN'T TOTALLY FILL UP MY TANK SO I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS. TODAY I FILLED MY TANK, THIS TIME MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE CAR AND AS SOON AS WE LEFT THE GAS STATION THE CAR STARTED JERKING, LIKE A SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT....FINALLY, I HAD A WITNESS! WE DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES TO A CAR WASH, AND UPON APPROACHING THE ENTRANCE IT STALLED AGAIN! I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN TO ENTER THE WASH AND ONCE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL IT STALLED AGAIN. I AM VERY NERVOUS AND SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR!!! WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? *TR

AFTER FUELING VEHICLE (FULL TANK) I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE FROM THE GAS STATION WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF WHILE I WAS IN A TURN CAUSING ME DRIVE UP ON A CURB AND ALMOST STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN. TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK STARTED AND ABOUT ANOTHER 1/4 MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT STALLED AGAIN THIS TIME MAKING ME GO THROUGH AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT HARD. I ENDED UP GETTING IT HOME AND IT SAT OVER NIGHT. NEXT MORNING TOOK IT OUT, NO PROBLEM EXCEPT WHEN I WAS LEAVING A STORE IT STALLED AGAIN. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FUEL ISSUE, FUEL PRESSURE CHECKED OK. I DRAINED THE GAS IN THE TANK AND REFUELED FROM ANOTHER STATION SAME PROBLEM. SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONLY WHEN I COMPLETELY FILL UP BUT NOT 100% OF THE TIME. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR BODY CODES WERE DETECTED ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER. *TR

MY CAR STARTED STALLING IN JUNE 2013, APPROX. 86000 MILES CHRYSLER SERVICE COULD NOT FIND ANY REASON FOR IT STALLING. A FRIEND SUGGESTED THAT I CHECK THE LA TIMES, ONLY TO FIND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. IT STALLS AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. IS REPLACING THE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE THE ONLY SOLUTION? WHERE CAN I FIND THE FEDERAL OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION RESULTS FOR THE 300C COMPLAINTS. *TR

SINCE NOVEMBER 2013, EACH TIME I FILL UP MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C, IT STALLS FOR THE FIRST 5--20 MINUTES AFTER THE FILL UP. IN DECEMBER 2013, I BROUGHT IT TO MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (WHICH HAS WORKED ON THE CAR SINCE 2006), AND IT SAID MY CAR NEEDED AN EVAP CANISTER AND A SOLENOID. THE PARTS WERE ORDERED AND THE INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT WORK WAS DONE ON DECEMBER 6, 2013. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR STILL STALLS, STARTING RIGHT AS I PULL OUT FROM THE GAS STATION. THE MOST DISCONCERTING THING IS THAT WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, AND YOU ARE STEERING INTO A CORNER, THE POWER STEERING IS GONE. THIS MAKES STEERING VERY DIFFICULT AND IS VERY DANGEROUS, PARTICULARLY ON THE TWO-LANE ROADS I MOSTLY TRAVEL. I AM NOW THINKING IT MAY BE THAT THERE IS SOME WATER IN THE GASOLINE TANK OR GASOLINE LINE. I SENSE THE ELECTRONICS IN THE ENGINE CALLING FOR GAS (OR NOT ACCEPTING GAS) WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING BAD IN THE GASOLINE LINE. NOT SURE HOW THERE IS WATER IN THE TANK, AS THE CAR SINCE BEING PURCHASED NEW IS GARAGED WHEN AT HOME AND AT WORK AND WELL CARED FOR OTHERWISE. I JUST READ THIS EVENING ON THE WEB THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS KNOWN SINCE AT LEAST MAY OF 2013. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING; THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT THIS KNOWN PROBLEM TO ME. AND SO I HAD THIS WORK DONE NEEDLESSLY, AT MY EXPENSE AND FOR NO SUCCESSFUL RESULT. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE RECALL TO ME WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR IN WITH THIS ISSUE. IT WAS SUGGESTED I MIGHT NEED

I HAD THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I WOULD FILL UP WITH GAS. AT ABOUT 30MPH OR WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP AND THEN TRY TO ACCELLERATE THE CAR WOULD STALL AND CUT OFF. WOULD THEN TRY AND RESTART THE CAR AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WOULD FINIALLY RESTART. SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD REACH SPEEDS OF 55MPH IT WOULD CUT OFF AND I WOULD HAVE TO STEER WITH THE BEST OF MY ABILITY TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. FINIALLY I JUST TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND HAD THEM PUT A NEW EVAP CANISTER ON IT AND NEW TROTTLE SOMETHING ON IT 600+ DOLLARS. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IT SURGES WHILE GONG DOWN THE ROAD THEN DIES. VEHICLE RESTARTS, MAY SURGE AND DIE AGAIN, THEN DRIVES NORMALLY TELL NEXT GAS FILL UP. *TR

THE CAR WILL STALL AFTER A FILLIP, EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS NOT OVER FILLED. THIS HAS PLACED ME IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, WHERE I AM STRANDED ON BUSY ROADS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOW DEFECT IN MANY CHRYSLER CARS AND VANS. *TR

AFTER FUELING UP MY CHRYSLER 300C, MY CAR STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN (APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES AFTER FILL UP). LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK AT THE TIME, SO I WAS ONLY GOING 5-10 MPH. UNFORTUNATELY, THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FROZE AND I WAS UNABLE TO PARK THE CAR, SO THE CAR WAS RESTING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF OTHER CARS DRIVING IN THE LOT. ALSO, I CAME TWO INCHES FROM HITTING A TREE SINCE I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR AWAY FROM ANY OBJECTS IN MY PATH. THANK GOODNESS THE BREAKS STILL WORKED. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER APPROX. 10 MINUTES OF RESTING THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT, THE CAR RESTARTED WITH A "POP" NOISE. ONCE WE GOT THE CAR STARTED, I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT IN A SAFE SPOT. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS AND IT REALLY HAS ME FREAKED OUT TO THINK THAT WE COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SHOULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY, THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN, MYSELF AND ANY OTHER INNOCENT PERSON ON THE ROAD HAS ME CONCERNED. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, AND I NEVER TOPPED OFF THE TANK. PLEASE RECALL THE FUEL TANK ON THESE CARS AS THEY ARE NOT SAFE. ALSO, PLEASE INCLUDE THE 2005 YEAR IN YOUR INVESTIGATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C.THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING TO CAPACITY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE BATTERY EXPLODED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,200.

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR STALLS. IT TAKES ABOUT 3 OR 4 MINUTES, SO BY THAT TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. *TR

AFTER REFUELING AND LEAVING FUELING LOCATION; ENGINE STALLED. WOULD RESTART AND COULD DRIVE SHORT DISTANCE AND DIES AGAIN. IT DOES THIS 3/8 TIMES AND THEN BEGINS TO RUN NORMALLY UNTIL NEXT FUEL UP. (LAST 3 FUELUPS, SO FAR) I DON'T TOP OFF AND I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE GAS CAP IS TIGHT. TOOK IT INTO DEALER ON NOVEMBER 13 TO REVIEW THE ISSUE. GOT A CALL BACK THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A "CODE" ISSUE IN FUEL BUT WANTED TO CHECK OUT THE TORQUE MANAGEMENT. I LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND ASKED TO GET THE CAR BACK. THE MOST COMMON THREAD ONLINE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH EVAPORATION SYSTEM. NOT SURE HOW TO CHECK IT OUT. MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT HAS NOW STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT---- *TR

I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AS ALWAYS, STARTED MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY WHILE PULLING AWAY IT STALLED THAN DIED. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND MADE IT INTO THE INTERSECTION AND IT STALLED AND DIED AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN WHILE IN TRAFFIC ABOUT 10 MILES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED OUT AND NO ONE COULD GIVE ME ANY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PROBLEM. I WENT ON LINE AND COME TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL NOR HELP. I LEARNED THAT OTHERS STOPPED FILLING THEIR CAR UP AND THAT SEEMED TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND I WORRY ALL THE TIME FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. SOME HAVE CHANGED THE GAS TANK HOWEVER THIS HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY CAR AT A SERVICE STATION UNTIL THE FIRST TIME THE FUEL PUMP CLICKED OFF I ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE SERVICE STATION AND AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE MY CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT START FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 ATTEMPTS. IF TRAFFIC WOULD HAVE BEEN HEAVIER THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AS I LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE CAR FROM STEERING TO BRAKING WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT-OFF. AFTER RUNNING ROUGH FOR SEVERAL MILES AND SEVERAL MORE STALLS THE PROBLEM FIXED ITSELF. THIS NOW OCCURS AFTER EVERYTIME I SERVICE MY CAR WITH FUEL AND HAS BECOME A RITUAL UNLESS I TAKE THE TIME TO CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED FUEL REMAINING IN THE TANK AND SUBTRACT IT FROM THE TOTAL CAPACITY THEN ONLY ADD ENOUGH FUEL TO TAKE ME UP TO TWO GALLONS FROM FULL. DIDN'T REALIZE I NEEDED TO BE A MATH WIZARD TO OWN A CHRYSLER 300C. NOW THAT I KNOW THIS IS A REPEATABLE PROBLEM I MUST TELL ANYONE WHO I LOAN MY CAR TO OR THEY COULD FACE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT SINCE THIS HAS NOT BEEN PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY CHRYSLER AS A RECURRING AND PREDICTABLE PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR BOUGHT NEW IN MAY 2004 AND IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. *LN *TR
