2006 Chrysler 300c complaints

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 STALLS AFTER I FILL IT WITH GAS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A NUMBER OF TIMES. I NOW LONGER CAN FILL MY GAS TANK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS THE CAR STALLS WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. IT STALLED ON ME ON THE FWY. LUCKILY FOR ME, THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I WAS GOING 35 MPH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD I NEED A NEW GAS TANK WHICH WOULD COST ME OVER 1000 DOLLARS. THERE IS A LOS ANGELES TIME ARTICLE DATED MAY 14,2013 WHICH INDICATES NEARLY 200,000 COMPLAINTS REGARDING 2006 300C, DODGE CHARGER AND DODGE MAGNUM OF HAVING THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. UPDATED 03/12/14

VEHICLE HESITATES/STALLS AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. DEALERSHIP REPLACED PURGE SOLENOID AND CANNISTER AT A COST TO ME OF $538.22. AFTER REPLACEMENT, CAR DIED ON ME 5 TIMES AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL IN LESS THAN A 4 BLOCK AREA. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THE CUSTOMARY FIX WAS A NEW CANISTER AND FUEL TANK, AT AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $1,168.70 PLUS TAX, OR TO ONLY FILL TANK 3/4 OF THE WAY FULL WHEN FUELING. I CHOOSE NOT TO PAY APPROXIMATELY AN ADDITIONAL $1,200 AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL MY TANK TO FIRST FUEL HOSE SHUTOFF SINCE. HAVE HAD TO TRY TO GUESS HOW MUCH FUEL TO PUT INTO VEHICLE WHEN FUELING EVER SINCE. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WASN'T NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE A RECORD THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE, AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE FUEL TANK EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY COVERAGE LETTER FROM CHRYSLER. HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY CHRYSLER AT ALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 HEMI IT WILL STALL/ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. ACTS LIKE IT COULD BE VAPOR LOCK. IT'S TAKE A FEW TRIES TO START AFTER THIS HAPPENS. I WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW CLOSE CALLS. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. I AM SCARED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC JUST BECAUSE MY CAR WILL SOMETIMES STALL. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO MECHANICS AND THE DEALERSHIP NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH GAS, ENGINE STALLS. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY TANK, AND BEGIN TO DRIVE, IF I SLOW DOWN AND/OR COME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE DIES. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I PICK UP SPEED OR PARK THE CAR FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. IF I GET ON THE HIGHWAY, I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM. ONLY WHEN I'M DRIVING SLOWLY, RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK. IF I LET THE CAR SIT FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER REFUELING, I DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY, THE CAR STALLED OUT 4 TIMES AT 4 DIFFERENT LIGHTS. *TR

FILLED TANK WITH GAS AN LEFT THE GAS STATION THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF WILE DRIVING, THEN TRIED TO START AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN THREE TIMES AFTER THE TANK WAS LESS THAN FULL THE CAR RAN FINE. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AT SLOW SPEED AND AT IDLE ALSO MISS FIRES AT SPEED AFTER REFUELING GAS TANK. IT CONTINUES UNTIL A GAL. OR SO OF FUEL IS CONSUMED . *TR

AFTER FUELING, CAR BEGAN TO SURGE, AND THEN DIE AT RANDOM FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. CAR STALLED AT MAJOR, BUSY INTERSECTION WHILE I WAS TURNING. I HAD A NEAR, POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT AS I HAD TO RESTART MY CAR WHILE ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING TOWARDS ME. THIS WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE. I HAD THIS HAPPEN A FEW MORE TIMES AND HAD ATTRIBUTED IT TO "BAD GAS" UNTIL I FOUND OUT ABOUT A FAULTY FUEL TANK/VAPOR PART IN CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND PAID $130.00 TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. RODE WITH SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO REFUEL CAR AND SHOW HIM THE PROBLEM. HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, VERIFIED MY COMPLAINT, THEN GAVE ME THE ESTIMATE OF COST TO REPLACE FUEL TANK. CHRYSLER CORP. HAS OFFERED A 25% DISCOUNT TO HELP WITH REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE FUEL TANK. THE WHOLE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE FAULTY PART IS BUILT INTO IT. THE COST QUOTE FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, PARTS AND LABOR IS $1,350.00. THE PRICE OF THE FUEL TANK ONLY, NO LABOR IS $905.00. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER 100%, THE FUEL TANK DID NOT WEAR OUT OR FAIL, THE PART THEY BUILT INTO IT FAILED. IT MAY APPEAR BY THE YEAR MODEL, (2006) THAT THIS AN OLDER MODEL BEGINNING TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, CAR HAS BEEN KEPT UP WITH REGULAR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE AND IS IN OTHERWISE MINT CONDITION.I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND NOW I AM AWARE THAT I CANNOT FILL MY FUEL TANK TO CAPACITY WITHOUT HAVING THIS ISSUE RE OCCUR. PLEASE, ANY HELP APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

MAKING A U-TURN AND MY CAR CUTS OFF, I HIT THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY BUT STILL HIT THE CURB WITH MY WHEELS AND PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER. PLEASE RECALL THIS GAS TANK ISSUE. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE!! THEY CUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES, UNPREDICTABLE. *TR

GOING AROUND A ROTARY IN EVERETT, MASS. THE CAR JUST SHUT ITSELF OFF. *TR

CAR STALLED AFTER FUEL FILL UP WENT 100 FEET STALLED ENTERING THE ROADWAY (ROUTE 17S). VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED AT MAJOR INTERSECTION SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING AND WOULD NOT RESTART AND STAY RUNNING. HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF INTERSECTION AND OFF ROADWAY BY POLICE. NO CODES APPEARED. NUMEROUS RESTARTS AND STALLS BEFORE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC WHO COMPUTER SCANNED FOR DIAGNOSIS. NO CODES. PROBLEM HAS NOW RECURRED 2 MORE TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER LAST 2 FILL UPS. MOST RECENT WAS REENTERING RTE 23S NEAR WAYNE NJ AFTER FILLING UP. CAR STALLED AND CREATED A SERIOUS HAZARD FOR ME AND PASSENGERS TRYING TO AVOID REAR END COLLISION WHILE PULLING TO SHOULDER WITH NO POWER. VERY BUSY ROAD WITH 50-60 MPH TRAFFIC. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND STAY RUNNING - REQUIRING 5-7 RESTART/STALLS BEFORE IT WAS DRIVABLE. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AGAIN. NO CODES ON SCANNER. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FILL-UP. WILL STALL EVEN WITHOUT TOPPING OFF TANK. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WILL STALL MULTIPLE TIMES AND BUCK WHILE DRIVING FOR A TIME. CAN NOT FILL UP TANK. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS AT RANDOM. TODAY I WAS DRIVING 30-40 MPH AND MY ENGINE STALLS AND TURNS OFF. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION OFF A FREEWAY RAMP. WHERE IS THE RECALLING ON THIS? ARE THEY WAITING FOR DEATHS? THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE! *TR

ENGINE STALLED SOON AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. HAS HAPPENED THE LAST TWO TIMES THE TANK WAS FILLED. *TR

UPON FILL UP OF GAS TANK UNTIL PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF, WHEN DRIVING AWAY FROM GAS STATION, VEHICLE WILL CONSTANTLY STALL AND NOT START, VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, THIS BECAME VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAD THE GAS TANK, FUEL PUMP, EVAP PUMP, CHARCOAL CANISTER ALL REPLACED BY GALEANAS DODGE IN WARREN MI. ALL EXPENSES WERE ON ME. THE PARTS USED WERE THE EXACT SAME ONES THAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY, NO SUPERSEDED PARTS WERE USED OR UPDATED. I KNOW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHERS WHO DRIVE A SIMILARLY EQUIPPED VEHICLE. *TR

LAST MONTH, I FILLED MY 300C WITH MID GRADE GAS, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS USED SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2006, AND THEN DIRECTLY ENTERED THE TURNPIKE. TRAVEL SPEED WAS 70 MPH. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR LATER, EXITED INTO A TURNPIKE PLAZA. THERE IS A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING AREA ABOUT 500 FEET AFTER YOU EXIT THE HIGHWAY. AS I SLOWED THEN COASTED AROUND THE TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I COASTED A SHORT DISTANCE UNTIL I STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED. I HAD BOUGHT GAS AND ENTERED THE TURNPIKE AT THAT SAME LOCATION MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. I HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS GETTING HOME. HOWEVER, LAST WEEK, I FILLED UP TANK AND EXITED MY LOCAL GAS STATION, WHICH SITS ON THE CORNER OF A MAIN ROAD AND A SIDE STREET. AS I TURNED TO GET ON THE SIDE ROAD, THE STREET LIGHT TURNED RED, AS I SLOWED TO STOP, THE ENGINE DIED. I GOT THE CAR RESTARTED AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STATED TO GO AND IT STALLED AGAIN. I GOT IT STARTED DROVE THE 2 MILES HOME AND AS I PULLED INTO MY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IT STALLED A THIRD TIME. I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE ENGINE. THIS CAR HAS HAD ALL ITS MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT THE DEALER, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES AND HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THESE STALLINGS STARTED HAPPENING. *TR

I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE ACTUAL START DATE OR MILEAGE, BUT THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUED PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. EACH TIME I FILL THE FUEL TANK, THE CAR ENGINE STARTS MISFIRING AND COMPLETELY CUTTING OFF, IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS FOR SEVERAL MILES (PROBABLY 6 TO 8) IF I HAVE TOPPED UP THE TANK. THIS RESULTS IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND MORE THAN ONCE HAS NEARLY LET TO AN ACCIDENT. I NOW MAKE SURE THAT I STOP FILLING THE TANK AS SOON AS THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF, BUT THIS STILL HAPPENS FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. THE ENGINE RUNS FINE AT ALL OTHER TIMES, BUT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME I FUEL THE CAR. I RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM THROUGH THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MANY OWNERS OF THIS CAR HARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THE FIX REQUIRES AN EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.. *TR

OUR CHRYSLER 300C HAD BEGUN TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH MORE THAN 3/4 TANK OF GAS. WE BEGAN TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF GAS TO NEVER FILL MORE THAN 3/4 TANK. THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS. IN DEC, 2013 THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AT OTHER TIMES. I HAD BETWEEN 1/4 TO 1/2 IN THE TANK WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT APPROX 45MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL THEN RESTART AT FIRST. THEN IT STALLED ENTIRELY SEVERAL TIMES THAT EVENING AS WE TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD MY 2 DAUGHTERS AND 2 GRANDDAUGHTERS WITH ME AT THE TIME. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL DLR, LEE CHRYSLER, WERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT THE 3 MILES. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR UNTIL 12-16-2013 WHEN THEY ADVISED THAT THE PROPORTIONAL VALVE/PURGE VALE NEEDED REPLACED AND THAT ALL OF THE UPDATES TO THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE MADE. THE TOTAL OF THIS ATTEMPT TO REPAIR WAS $379.45. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO STALL AGAIN SO I RETURNED IT. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS WITH THEIR COMPUTER HOOKED UP TO IT THEN ADVISED THAT THE PCM NEEDED REPLACED THIS REPAIR COST A TOTAL OF $1,018.61. THE CAR WAS ON EMPTY SO HE OFFERED TO STOP FOR GAS. HE FILLED THE TANK UP THEN PULLED OUT TO 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WRECKER AFTER THE VEHICLE. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR ONE NIGHT AND CALLED US TO PICK UP AND RUN THE GAS OUT TO 1/4TANK. WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD NOT STALL AGAIN

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

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

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

AFTER I FILL UP (I DO NOT OVERFILL), WITHIN THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES I DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT THAT AT 40-50 MPH IT WILL "HESITATE/JERK" LIKE THERE IS A FUEL MIX ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ABRUPTLY STALLS AS IF SOMEONE JUST TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. AND IT IS NOT A GOOD FEELING WHEN YOU HAVE TO MANEUVER THREE LANES WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. THE CAR MUST BE STOPPED COMPLETELY TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO GET THE CAR GOING TILL IT STALLS AGAIN 6 TIMES TONIGHT JUST TO DRIVE 10 MILES TO GET HOME. NO WARNING YOU CAN BE GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR OR 5 AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING THEY FIXED IT BUT NO HERE IT IS AGAIN STALLING OUT LESS THAN A WEEK FROM BEING AT THE DEALERS. SOME TIMES LESS THAN A DAY AFTER THEY HAVE HAD IT. WHY CANT CHRYSLER FIX THEIR OWN CARS THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT SEEMS NOT TO BE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM IT RUNS GREAT NO SPUTTERING OR JERKING JUST DRIVING ALONG AND ELECTRONICALLY IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. THEY HAVE REPLACED A MULTITUDE OF SENSORS AND THE PCM THE TCM AND SOME PARTS I CANT EVEN NAME AND EACH TIME THEY SAY ITS FIXED AND EACH TIME IT DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, LOST TIME AT WORK I CANT DRIVE MY CAR WITH THE FEELING OF SAFETY OR SECURITY. THE STRESS LEVELS IN MY FAMILY ARE SKY HIGH. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CHRYSLER TO FIX THEIR OWN CAR PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY AND UNJUSTLY BY THIS CAR AND COMPANY. PLEASE IF THEY CANT FIX THEIR OWN CAR WHO CAN? WE AS CONSUMER'S ARE BEING UNFAIRLY VICTIMIZED PLEASE HELP. *TR

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

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

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

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

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. THE SOLUTION HAS BEEN TO NOT FILL THE TANK. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM--THE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE IT IN THEIR TEST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

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. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. UPDATED 02/27/14*LJ UPDATED 02/27/14 UPDATED 2/26/14*CN

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

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

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

AFTER MANY INCIDENTS WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE STALLS MANY TIMES IN APPROXIMATELY THE NEXT 5 MILES, MAKES THE VEHICLE VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. DIFFICULT TO GET THE WHOLE FAMILY AND STATION ATTENDANTS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CAR CAN NOT HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS. TERRIBLE FAILURE THAT IT SEEMS CHRYSLER IS IGNORING... *TR

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

AFTER FUELING UP ABOUT 1 MILE LATER AS I LEFT A RED LIGHT THE MOTOR JUST STALLED AS SOON AS IT TOOK OFF WITH NO WARNING NO POWER STEERING I COULDN'T CONTROL THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD HAD TO PUT THE CAR AND PARK AND RE START THE MOTOR IT HAPPENS WHENEVER I REFUEL VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

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

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE IT STALLS. THE VEHICLE LOOSES STEERING POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE TRIED TO NOT LET THE FUEL GET TO LOW AND HAVE TRIED FILLING THE TANK AT DIFFERENT LEVELS WITH NO LUCK. *TR

ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED WORKING AS COMING OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER FILLING AT GAS STATION. STEERING WENT HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. WARNING LIGHT (LUB OIL CAN) CAME UP. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN, ENGINE STARTED BUT KEPT STALLING FOR NEXT 5 MINUTES. - MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES - ALL AFTER FILLING TANK. ALL SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCES REPORTED TO DEALER. DEALER KEPT VEHICLE FOR A WEEK TRYING TO 'REPLICATE' THE ERROR BUT REPORTED NO FINDINGS. *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

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

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

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS OVER A YEAR AGO. I HAD JUST FILLED UP GAS TANK AND PULLED OUT OF LOT STILL IN A PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING AREA. TURNED LEFT INTO A FAST FOOD PLACE AND CAR SHUTS DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND WENT INSIDE. CAME OUT STARTED CAR WAS PULLING OUT OF LOT INTO TRAFFIC AND CAR SHUTS DOWN AGAIN. THIS TIME NOT TO THE LIKING OF OTHER DRIVERS OR MYSELF. RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS DROVE HOME AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN TILL I WENT ON A TRIP A FEW MONTHS LATER. HALF WAY THROUGH THE TRIP I HAD TO REFUEL AND BINGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION LOT AND TURNING LEFT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT GOOD. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES AND CONTINUED MY TRIP ON INTERSTATE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN OK UNTIL JUST TWO DAYS AGO THE 28TH OF DECEMBER 2013. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AFTER FILLING UP AND TURNING LEFT AT SLOW SPEED CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE PULLING INTO A LOT. IT FINALLY RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. AFTER READING ON LINE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME I TOOK TO DEALER, THAT I WILL NEVER TAKE IT TO AGAIN. SHORT STORY IS THEY WANTED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AT THE TUNE OF $4500.00. I LEFT THERE AND DROVE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORST AND AFRAID TO FILL UP AND PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND

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
