CHRYSLER 300C 2005 WILL COMPLETELY DIE UPON FILLING TANK WITH FUEL. WILL RESTART AND DIE 1 OR 2 MORE TIMES THEN RUN FINE. MY CONCERN IS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. SOLUTION CHANGE GAS TANK WHICH CHRYLSER REFUSES TO DO WITHOUT CUSTOMER PAYING FOR IT. I FEEL A RECALL IS NEEDED BEFORE SOMEONE IT INJURED OR POSSIBLY KILLED. FILED A COMPLAINT, HAVE A CASE NUMBER NOTHING RESOLVED. I FEEL A SOLUTION IS NECESSARY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FROM TIME OF PURCHASE. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C NEW IN MARCH OF 2005, SINCE THAT TIME WE NOTICED THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT, AND OVER SAY SEVERAL MONTHS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, I REPLACED TO DRIVER SIDE OUTER TIE ROD END AROUND AUGUST OF 2007, THEN EARLY 2009 THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE, IT'S APRIL 2011 AND I'M ABOUT TO REPLACE THE TIE ROD END FOR A SECOND TIME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. *TR

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELD, IT STALLS. ALSO, IT HESTITATES WHILE DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT ALSO WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. IT TOOK NUMEROUS SHIFTS FROM PARK TO DRIVE TO GET IT TO ENGAGE.

WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLS AFTER 1-2 MINUTES. RESTART AND STALLS AGAIN. GOES ON FOR FIRST 10 MILES AFTER REFILL. THIS HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL UP. ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IS TO FILL TANK AT 80% OR LESS. CHECKED THE INTERNET (CHRYSLER 300C STALLING) AND I FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAD TO SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, MY GEAR SHIFT STARTED "STICKING" IN PARK. WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE WITHOUT A LOT OF COAXING. WHAT I DID WAS TO KEEP PUMPING THE BRAKES AND AFTER ABOUT 10 OR SO PUMPS, THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD RELEASE. MORE RECENTLY, MY CAR WILL JUST DIE EVEN WHEN I AM GOING OVER 40 MPH. MOST OF THE TIME, I CAN JUST SHIFT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. I AM NOT SURE OF WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE IF I WERE PERHAPS GOING AROUND A CORNER SINCE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN THIS OCCURS. ACTUALLY AS I THINK ABOUT IT, IT ALSO DID THIS WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECORD OF IT ON THE COMPUTER THEREFORE THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. *TR
