  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

  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

  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 THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK AND RELATED COMPONENTS. PLEASE CHRYSLER FIX THIS PROBLEM, I LOVE MY 300C. *TR

  OUR CAR IS CHRYSLER 300C AWD MODEL YEAR 2006. CURRENTLY CAR HAS ABOUT 46000 MILES. RECENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARRING ENGINE STOPS TO WORK. FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON DECEMBER 11, 2013 SHORTLY AFTER WE LEFT THE GAS STATION WERE WE FILL UP THE TANK. WE COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR AND TOWED THE CAR HOME PAYING FEE OF $75. NEXT DAY THE CAR STARTED AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON DECEMBER 27, 2013 WHILE DRIVING FOR FEW MILES RIGHT AFTER WE FILL UP THE TANK. THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT WARRING ON MAIN ROAD. LUCKILY, WE WERE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT AND WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DROVE TO SIDE LINE. THE CAR IS NOW IN OUR GARAGE BUT WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE FROM FEAR OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AS WE DEEM THE CAR UNRELIABLE. WE RESEARCHED ON THE WEB SIDES AND DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR MODEL AND CARS WITH SIMILAR ENGINE TRAIN HAVE IDENTICAL OR SIMILAR EXPERIENCES AND HAVE FILED FORMAL COMPLAINTS. *TR

THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE FUEL UP.I BOUGHT THE CAR SECOND-HAND FROM A DEALER WHO LIKED TO CHARGE ME FOR MISC REPAIRS THEY NEVER ACTUALLY FIXED (ACCORDING TO MY OWN MECHANIC).

  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

  Car stalls out when driving. Almost was rear-ended, broadside, front ended and sideswiped too many times to note! Have new gas tank per recall. Still stalls. Dealership has witnessed stall but can't locate problem and charges me 150.00 for useless diagnostic test and still not able to find stalling problem. Dealership doesn't care. Laughed at me. Had it in shop several times. Nothing. I'm disabled and on fixed income. Dealership attempts to have me purchase new vehicle. I can't afford one! Stalls out when turning, stopped and while maintaining consistent speed. Can't fill up gas tank or stalling is worse. Can't let tank run under 1/4 full or stalling. I'm barely able to drive anywhere due to fear of stalling and getting hit. Chrysler seems to not care. I told service manager that if I or someone else is hurt or killed its their fault for not fixing or caring about owners of this car. Death and injuries are going to happen cuz this is so dangerous and horror filled! I don't know what else to do. My beautiful 300 is not safe. I am basically carless. This has been going on for almost 4 years with no resolution or kindness. I almost was hit by a gravel truck when attempting to push car out of road! IM DISABLED!!! I can't go anywhere without being afraid it will stall at anytime for no reason. Dealership has checked repeatedly and diagnosis tests and even left car at dealership for days and still no resolution. They really don't care. I once loved Chrysler and now I am full of fear and anger that Chrysler doesn't care. There is numerous complaints about the same problem. Dealership did suggest I have a full tune up at several hundreds dollars! HA! Said a tune up will not fix it and nothing showed on diagnosis a need for tune up. Car runs beautiful when not stalling! My heart is broken. What's the point of charging me 150.00 for nothing? Then laugh when car stalls as I leave dealership. Guess that's how poor people are treated.

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

  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
