2006 Chrysler 300c complaints

PULLED OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER REFUELING INTO HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, CAR STALLED WHILE TURNING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER (IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STEER). MANAGED TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COAST INTO MEDIUM. PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED CAR, PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED WHILE COASTING. NO MORE PROBLEMS ON THIS TRIP. HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 3 WEEKS LATER, PULLED UP TO STOP SIGN AFTER REFUELING AND CAR STALLED. I PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 3/4 MILE AND ENTERED STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY. CAR STALLED 5-6 TIMES WITHIN 1 MILE, EACH TIME I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ABLE TO PREVENT A STALL BY WATCHING THE TACH FOR SIGNS OF RPM DROPPING THEN PUTTING CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. *TR

I HAD JUST REFUELED (FILLED UP - DID NOT CONTINUE FUELING AFTER THE PUMP AUTO-STOPPED) AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION (ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES). I HAD JUST COMPLETED A LEFT TURN, APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, SO I WAS "COASTING" AT ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE DIED. LUCKILY, I WAS BESIDE OF A VACANT PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO VEER INTO THE LOT AND OFF THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, IN DOING SO, I NOTICED THAT I HAD LOST STEERING CAPABILITIES AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A GOOD THING I WASN'T DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED AND GOING AROUND A CURVE, BECAUSE I WOULD'VE SURELY WRECKED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS STILL LIT UP (COMPASS, ODOMETER, RADIO STATION, ETC), BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER STOPPING, I PLACED IT IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE SWITCH AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THERE WAS SOME HESITATION, BUT IT DID START. CONTINUING TO MY DESTINATION, I COULD OCCASIONALLY FEEL THE CAR "SPUTTERING" OR HESITATING LIKE IT WANTED TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN, BUT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE I MADE IT HOME. HOWEVER, ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING AND BEFORE I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY, THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WANTED TO DIE AGAIN. I HAD BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, SLIGHTLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND IT "SPUTTERED". IT CONTINUED "SPUTTERING" PERIODICALLY ON MY WAY TO WORK (6-8 MINUTE DRIVE). I AM REALLY BECOMING VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING OUR COUNTRY ROADS, IN FEAR THAT IT WILL SHUT DOWN AND I WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO SAFETY UNTIL I CAN REGAIN POWER

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

OUR 2006 CHRYSLER 300C DIES AFTER FUELING THE GAS TANK TO FULL. 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 CAN DEFINITELY SEE HOW THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL TANK OF FUEL VEHICLE STALLS AND SOMETIMES BECOMES VERY HARD TO RESTART. ONCE THE FUEL TANK LEVEL GOES DOWN A LITTLE THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. THIS ALWAYS OCCURS AFTER REFUELING TO A FULL TANK OF FUEL. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE ENGINE STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING AND PROCEEDING THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN WHILE TRAVELING AT 15-20 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE ALWAYS AFTER REFUELING. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL, STOPPING AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF THE FIRST TIME, THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER RUNNING FOR AROUND 5 MINUTES. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND SAME THING HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DO THIS REGULARLY. *TR

CAR STALLS MANY TIMES AFTER FILL UP. CAR WILL OPERATE NORMALLY AFTER A FEW MILES OF DRIVING. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROLLOVER VALVE CAUSED THE FAILURE AND THAT THE FUELTANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE FUEL TANK WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,000. *TR

AFTER REFUELING TANK I DROVE AWAY FROM THE PUMPS AND ONTO THE ROADWAY, DURING ACCELERATION TO SPEED LIMIT (50MPH), AT 25MPH THE ENGINE STALLED, WITH TRAFFIC QUICKLY APPROACHING I MIGHT ADD, AND LEFT ME COASTING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THANKFULLY, AT WHICH TIME I HAD TO ATTEMPT A RESTART 3 TIMES BEFORE IT DID START, WHEN IT STARTED I HAD NO ISSUES FOR A FEW MONTHS. THIS EXACT SITUATION HAPPENED TO ME EVERY OTHER MONTH FOR A YEAR UNTIL I LEARNED TO NOT FUEL THE VEHICLE TO THE TOP. IT IS A CONSIDERABLE INCONVENIENCE TO NOT BE ABLE TO FILL THE CAR TO ITS CAPACITY, ESPECIALLY ON LONG TRIPS. I AM JUST AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN, AT ANY TIME, WITH NO WARNING, QUITE AN UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING ACTUALLY. I HOPE FOR A SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

THIS WAS THE FIRST OF SEVERAL INCIDENCES. AFTER FUELING, THE ENGINE BEGAN ROUGH IDLING. I THOUGHT I HAD JUST GOTTEN WATER IN MY TANK. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES THE ENGINE SEEMED TO SMOOTH OUT AND I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND ENTERED A BUSY INTERSECTION. AS I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION, I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WERE CARS ALL AROUND ME AS I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT STARTED AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE RAN ROUGHLY FOR SEVERAL MORE MINUTES AND ONCE AGAIN SMOOTHED OUT. THE STALLING CAN ALSO HAPPEN DURING RIGHT TURNS, BUT ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER REFUELING. MY DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE VALVE ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. WHEN FILLING THE TANK, FUEL LEAKS OVER INTO THE CANNISTER WHICH THEN FLOODS OUT THE ENGINE. BECAUSE THE VALVE AND THE TANK ARE ONE UNIT, THE ENTIRE TANK MUST BE REPLACED. SINCE A REPAIR IS SO EXPENSIVE, I NOW DO NOT FILL MY TANK ABOVE THE 3/4 LEVEL. *TR

I TOO HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHEN MY CAR STALLED ON A BUSY ROAD AFTER APPROX. 5 MINUTES OF FUELING UP. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENED APPROX. 6 TIMES USUALLY IN VERY COLD WEATHER. *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

AFTER REFUELING, CAR STALLS, HESITATES AND SHUTS OFF MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OR MILES. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN TANK IS FILLED ALL THE WAY TO AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUT-OFF. THIS HAPPENS TO ME ALMOST EVERY TIME I REFUEL, UNLESS I STOP REFUELING A GALLON OR TWO SHORT OF FULL ( WORK-AROUND THAT I DISCOVERED ONLY RECENTLY). IT IS DANGEROUS AND HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT HAS PUT ME IN SEVERAL WHITE-KNUCKLE SITUATIONS SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION WITH NO POWER. *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.

GOING FOR A 1000 MILE TRIP FROM SAINT CLOUD FL. TO PITTSBURGH PA. I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK . WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE STATION THE ENGINE STALLED. IT STALLED TWICE AGAIN A MILE AWAY WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH. ON MY TRIP TO PITTSBURGH THE CAR STALLED ABOUT 5 SEPARATE TIMES ALL AFTER GETTING THE GAS TANK FILLED. MOST STALLS OCCURRED WHEN STOPPED BUT AT LEAST TWICE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. CALLED CHRYSLER AND GOT NO WHERE. THEIR SUGGESTION WAS TO TAKE CAR TO A DEALER AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD. NEVER A SCRATCH , OR DENTS. ALWAYS KEPT COVERED IN GARAGE. IT IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. I AM SHOCKED ABOUT THIS STALLING AND CHRYSLER'S REPLY TO MY ASKING FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. STALL HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP ALTHOUGH HAS ALSO OCCURRED AT A LOW SPEED CRUISE (25-35 MPH) AND WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. HAPPENS ONLY AFTER FUEL TANK IS FULLY FILLED, BEING THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON THE FUEL PUMP. DOES NOT SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN TANK IS ONLY PARTIALLY FILLED. WHILE THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RESULTED IN A COLLISION YET, THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT IT EVENTUALLY WILL. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT STALLING WHEN LEAVING AN INTERSECTION CAUSES LOSS OF SOME CONTROL. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, UPON RESTART THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT COME ONLINE FOR A FEW MOMENTS. THIS CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS SCENARIOS WHEN LEFT IMMOBILE IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OF A MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA. *TR

I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AT THE STATION PULLED INTO TRAFFIC AND THE LIGHT TURNED RED. STOPPED FOR THE LIGHT THE CAR STARTED LURCHING AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. TURNED ON HAZARD LIGHT PUSHED GAS TO FLOOR AND CRANKED ENGINE OVER. TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO GET ENGINE TO START. AFTER THIS INCIDENT THE CAR RUNS ROUGH WHEN STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS. *TR

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. THE DESCRIPTION/SYMPTOMS LISTED IN THE NEWS RELEASE SEEMED TO MATCH MINE AND I AM THEREFORE REPORTING IT. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS DROVE TO STOP LIGHT AND CAR STALLED. HAD HARD TIME STARTING. TOOK TO PENSACOLA CHRYSLER AND THE MECHANIC SAID WE NEEDED A NEW GAS TANK . 2100$'S. *TR

AFTER REFUELING, MY CHRYSLER 300SRT 2006 6.1 LITER V-8 ENGINE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH TOWN. IT RESTARTED QUICKLY AND I CONTINUED MY TRAVEL. WITHIN 1 MILE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AND RESTARTED QUICKLY. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER INCIDENT AS OF 5/5/13. I AM CONCERNED AFTER READING AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS OF THE SAME YEAR AND SIMILAR MODELS. I TRAVEL THE INTERSTATES OFTEN AND REFUEL DURING MY TRAVEL AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WILL STALL ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH SURROUNDED BY OTHER CARS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO MY CHRYSLER DEALER AND UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS DISCOVERED QUICKLY BEFORE THERE ARE ANY CRASHES WITH OR WITHOUT INJURIES. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO? *TR

MANY MULTIPLE INCIDENTS - AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK, ENGINE WILL STALL MULTIPLE TIMES SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AND IS DIFFICULT TO RE-START. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF CARE IS TAKEN TO AVOID "TOPPING OFF" TANK. AT TIMES THE ENGINE HAS EVEN STALLED DURING FUELING ONCE TANK IS NEAR FULL, BEFORE PUMP CLICKS OFF. MUST DRIVE WITH GAS CAP REMOVED FOR IT TO START AND RUN AT ALL FOR MANY MILES BEFORE IT BEHAVES NORMALLY AGAIN, AND EVEN WITH GAS CAP REMOVED IT STILL WILL COME NEAR STALLING AT TIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE CHARCOAL CANISTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 07/10/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL TANK MODULE FAILED. WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED IT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER. UPDATED 07/19/2013 *JS

I HAD JUST REFUELED AT THE QUICK TRIP LEFT THE STATION AND WITHIN ONE MILE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE CUTTING OFF AND ON. THE TACHOMETER WOULD SHOW THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING FROM 2000 RPM'S TO 1000 THIS HAPPENED MAYBE 5 TIMES IN A ONE MINUTE SPAN AND THEN QUIT. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY GASOLINE TANK AND DRIVING AWAY THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. WHILE STILL ROLLING FORWARD I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I ALWAYS SUCCEEDED IN RESTARTING THE CAR WHILE IT WAS ROLLING FORWARD. HOWEVER, THE STALLING WOULD REPEAT ITSELF TWO TO THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED DOING THIS. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAD NO SOLUTIONS. AFTER MONTHS OF REPEATED EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM I STARTED TO FILL MY TANK ONLY TO ABOUT 3/4TH FULL AND THE STALLING WAS SOLVED. HOWEVER, AFTER HITTING SOME ROUGH ROAD AFTER A 3/4TH FILLING (THE GASOLINE GOT SLOSHED ABOUT, I AM SURE),THE ENGINE STALLED ON ME. ON JUNE 12, 2012 I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP, OVERLAND PARK JEEP, CHRYSLER, DODGE, IN OVERLAND PARK, KS TO START REPLACING GASOLINE TANK PARTS. THEY INSTALLED A 4891427AB DETECTOR-NATURAL VACUUM DETECTI....., A SOLENOID-PROPORTIONAL PURGE AND A CANISTER-VAPOR. (THEIR INVOICE #429537). THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE STALLING PROBLEM. ON MARCH 26, 2013 I FINALLY GAVE UP ON THE PROBLEM AND ASKED OPJCD TO REPLACE THE SADDLE-BAG GASOLINE TANKS. THEIR INVOICE 452851 COVERED THE INSTALLATION OF A 68051891 AA TANK-FUEL, O-RING-FUEL PUMP AND LEVEL UNIT. WITH THREE COMPLETE GASOLINE TANK FILL UP'S I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH STALLING. I AM WRITING TO YOU AFTER READING, IN THIS MORNINGS NEWSPAPER, ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS BEING LOOKED INTO BY YOUR AGENCY AND I WANTED TO R

AFTER THE CAR WAS TOPPED OFF WITH FUEL THE ENGINE STALLS. IT IS THEN VERY DIFFICULT TO START. IT HAPPENED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE ENGINE WOULD STALL IF YOU DID NOT KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. THE MPH DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON STALLING. IT STARTED STALLING IMMEDIATELY AFTER FULL-UP. *TR

CAR STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. HAS HAPPENED ON AN OCCASIONAL BASIS, EACH TIME AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. *TR

TROUBLE WITH ENGINE STALLING. IT HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR IS DRIVEN FOR A WHOLE OR FILLED FULL WITH GAS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THE CAR TURNS OFF. SOMETIMES IT WILL IMMEDIATELY RESTART AND OTHER TIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT. WHEN IT STALLS OUT, THE AUTOMATIC STEERING ALSO LOCKS UP CAUSING THE CAR TO BE DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES NOT JUST ONCE.... ONE TIME WAS AFTER BEING ON INTERSTATE FOR A COUPLE HOURS, AS SOON AS WE PULLED OFF THE CAR KEPT CUTTING OFF. IT HAS BEEN CARED FOR AND IS PROPERLY MAINTENANCE. ON SOME OCCASIONS, I HAVE EVEN HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO RESET THE COMPUTER FOR IT TO START. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT OTHER THE MONTHS. *TR

I NOTICED THAT WHEN I REFUELED MY CAR, IT WOULD STALL RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED MAY TIMES WHEN I REFUELED MY CAR. I DIDN'T MATTER WHAT BRAND OR OCTANE I USED. I WENT ON LINE AND NOTICED OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS I USED WAS NOT TO FILL UP MY CAR ALL THE UP. THEY (BLOG WEBSITES) SAID THAT THE ENGINE BECOMES FLOODED (THEY WENT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD THEM, AND THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM HAD TO BE CHANGED FROM THE GAS TANK TO FUEL LINES AND EVAP SYSTEM ) AND THE CAR CANT CORRECT ITSELF AND STALLS. AND EVER SINCE I STARTED DOING THIS SOLUTION MY CAR HASN'T STALLED. IF I DO FILL UP MY CAR ALL THE WAY I HAVE TO BURN OFF SOME GAS IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED. EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK UP, IT STALLS AFTER ABOUT HALF A BLOCK OR LESS OF DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONDENSER WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND HAD BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

WE WERE DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY FROM MICHIGAN TO TEXAS ON THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE LANE GOING 65 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR STALLED AND IT WOULDN'T START UP AGAIN. MY HUSBAND COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR. HE PUT THE FLASHERS ON. FORTUNATELY NO ONE HIT US. CARS STARTED DRIVING AROUND US. HE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START THE CAR. WE HAD THE KIDS IN THE CAR AND IT FELT LIKE WE WERE STALLED FOREVER. WE WERE AFRAID FOR THE REST OF THE 2 DAY DRIVE. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AFTER GETTING BACK FROM THE TRIP. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO STALL, SO THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT HAD STALLED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING YEAR. *TR

PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AT APPROX 41K MILES. HAD JUST REFILLED TANK AND CAR REFUSED TO START. LET CAR SIT FOR 1/2 HOUR AND CAR RESTARTED. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THEN - ALWAYS AFTER REFILLING THE TANK. SOMETIMES THE CAR IS HARD TO START AFTER A REFILL AND OTHER TIMES IT STALLS, TYPICALLY WHEN LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I USE THE AUTO-FILL FEATURE AT GAS STATIONS AND DO NOT OVERFILL. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM, I FILLED UP MY CAR AFTER A TRIP, AND UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION MY ENGINE STALLED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO CRANK AND WHEN THE ENGINE DID COME ON ONCE THE RPMS WOULD NOT SETTLE AND THEY KEPT DIPPING TO ALMOST ZERO BEFORE THE ENGINE CUT OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN ABOUT FIVE TIMES AND I FINALLY HAD ONE REPAIR SHOP TELL ME TO NOT FILL MY GAS TANK UP ALL THE WAY AND IT SHOULD PREVENT THE CUT OFFS. I THEN FAILED AN EMISSIONS TEST AND HAD TO HAVE MY GAS CAP REPLACED. I THOUGHT THAT THIS HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM SO I TRIED TO FILL THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY AGAIN AND IT IMMEDIATELY CUT OFF AFTER STARTING IT UP. I WAS ABLE TO REV THE ENGINE AND USE UP SOME OF THE GAS AND MANAGED TO GET THE CAR HOME WITH THE RPMS CONSTANTLY DIPPING ALMOST TO ZERO. THE CAR CUT OUT AT A STOP LIGHT AND I THEN HAD TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AFTER SITTING IN THE INTERSECTION STALLED. I'VE HAD MY CAR INSPECTED BY TWO CHRYSLER DEALERS, A FEW INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS, AND ALSO A NISSAN DEALER WHERE I KNOW THE HEAD MECHANIC. THE ONLY ANSWERS I'VE GOTTEN WERE THAT IT IS A FAULTY O2 SENSOR AND NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK. *TR

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK WITH FUEL ENGINE WILL STALL FOR THE FIRST FEW MILES. HAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC/ROADWAY PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER AFTER PUTTING FUEL INTO THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AT LEAST ONCE AFTER REFUELING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL-LINE PURGE VALVE LAST YEAR,BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT IT WAS BAD GAS THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, BUT I'VE TRIED USING SEVERAL BRANDS OF FUEL WITHOUT ANY LUCK. I DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE THAT MUCH, BUT I HAVE HAD A FEW NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE ENGINE ACCELERATES BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE IS PRONE TO STALL. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES AND SPEEDS. IF YOU ONLY FILL THE TANK UP 3/4 OF THE WAY IT SEEMS TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. NO TROUBLE CODES ARE SET. AFTER STALLING THE VEHICLE CAN SOMETIMES BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY, OTHER TIMES IT MIGHT HAVE TO SIT FOR 5 MINUTES. *TR

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS FILLED UP WITH GAS, IT STALLS SEVERAL TIMES. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS AS AT LEAST ONCE I WAS GETTING ON AN INTERSTATE. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE I OVERFILL THE TANK (WHICH I DON'T) AND REPLACED A CHARCOAL FILTER AND SOLENOID AT THE COST OF ALMOST $500. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER THIS REPAIR AND NOW I AM TOLD I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. THIS WILL COST ANOTHER $1250. I AM AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING ON OTHER CHRYSLER 300'S. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. AT FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF OVERFILLING THE TANK AND NOW CONFIRM IT IS THE FUEL TANK, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2005 WHEN THE NEW 2006'S CAME OUT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED 3 TIMES AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. VERY CLOSE TO A MULTIPLE CAR PILE UP BEHIND ME. TANK WAS NOT TOPPED OFF AND NEVER HAS. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM YET REFUSES TO HELP THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. THE GAS TANK IS FAULTY, CAUSING RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE EVAP SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE GLASS FROM THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED CAUSING TINY SHARDS OF GLASS TO FALL INTO THE VEHICLE AND ONTO OTHER MOTORISTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT NO CAUSE FOR FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE 100,000.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG @ 45MPH APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND THE 5.7L HEMI ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING GOT STUCK IN THE FAN. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE LEFT BANK CYLINDER HEAD. AFTER REMOVING THE HEAD AND INSPECTING THE VALVE SEATS NO# 1 INTAKE VALVE SEAT WAS MISSING. AFTER TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THE VALVE SEATS IT WAS NOTICED THAT SMALL BITS AND PIECES WERE CRUMBLING OFF OF THE OTHER SEATS. FOLLOWING THIS I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND FIND IT TO BE QUITE COMMON WITH THE 5.7 ENGINE. THE MAIN SAFETY PROBLEM HERE IS THAT IF ONE LOSES A VALVE SEAT THEN A VALVE CAN POTENTIALLY BE LOST AND CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS COULD BE A VERY BAD THING. THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS HERE. CHRYSLER IS USING A COMPRESSED MEDAL VALVE SEAT THAT DOES NOT HOLD UP UNDER THE STRESS OF THE ENGINE AS IT AGES AND THE SECOND IS THAT THE VALVE SEAT IS NOT SUNK DEEP ENOUGH INTO THE HEAD I.E. THE HEAD DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GRIPPING SURFACE TO HOLD THE VALVE SEAT IN PLACE. AND YES I AM AN ENGINEER! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH OVER A ROAD BUMP, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN ANY DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER SEVEN TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE RACK AND PINION AND THE FRONT STRUTS WERE REPLACED AT DIFFERENT TIMES BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE UPON VEHICLE START. ENGINE THREW A CONNECTING ROD DUE TO CONNECTING ROD BEARING FAILURE. THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE RESULTED IN COMPLETE LOSS OF MOBILITY AND POWER. WERE THIS TO HAPPEN IN MOTION IT WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF PROPULSION, BRAKES AND STEERING, PRESENTING AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND OTHER DRIVERS IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY. THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY BOTH THE DEALER REPS AND VARIOUS INDEPENDENT MECHANICS LEADING TO THE BELIEF THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD, AND IS BECOMING MORE APPARENT AS THIS FLAWED MECHANICAL COMPONENT / DESIGN REACHES THE END OF ITS LIFE EXPECTANCY. STRONGLY REQUEST FURTHER INVESTIGATION OR CORRELATION OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS / COMPLAINTS. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 12 MONTHS AGO. WHEN EVER I RE-FUEL MY CAR IT WILL SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY IF I LET THE FUEL LEVEL GET TO OR BELOW 1/4 TANK BEFORE RE-FUELING. THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE AT LEAST 10-15 MINUTES AFTER RE-FUELING. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED THE CAR WOULD ONLY SHUT OFF AT IDLING OR AT VERY SLOW SPEED. NOW THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN EVEN WHILE AT STREET OR HIGHWAY SPEED. IT APPEARS THAT THE FUEL FLOW IS INTERRUPTED THEN BEGINS TO FLOW AGAIN. THIS WILL REPEAT SEVERAL TIMES. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER RE-FUELING. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO GET IT REPAIRED DUE TO NO LONGER HAVING A WARRANTY. MY CAR NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 62000 MILES ON IT. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK AS I WAS LEAVING THE STATION THE CAR STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE ABOUT 3 BLOCKS AND IT STALLED AGAIN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT RAN OK THE NEXT SEVERAL FILL-UPS AND THEN IT HAPPENED AND THIS TIME IT STALLED FOUR (4) TIME. ONCE ON A BUSY BY-PASS I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE ON MARCH 20, 2012AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS. CLEARLY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM HAVING THE FUEL TANK REPLACED AT A COST OF $1200.00. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL OR ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK AND THE FILLER NECK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN STOPPING FOR A LIGHT OR WHEN FIRST LEAVING THE LIGHT. IT WILL ALSO JERK WHILE DRIVING.THIS HAPPENS UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL GOES DOWN. IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN FIRST PURCHASED. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. IF THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING AND BRAKES BECOME DIFFICULT TO USE. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER DOES NOT CLAIM TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AT THE DEALER. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR WORSE IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ADDRESSED. THANK YOU *TR
