2006 CHRYSLER 300 AWD Complaints

I WAS DRIVING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. THERE WAS LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I PUT THE GEAR IN PACK AND RESTARTED THE CAR WHICH IT DID SUCCESSFULLY BUT STALLED SOON AFTER AND AGAIN RESTARTED SUCCESSFULLY. THE CAR RAN PERFECTLY TILL I REFILLED THE TANK FOUR DAYS LATER AND HAD SIMILAR OCCURRENCE. IT HAPPENED ABOUT A WEEK LATER, AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER REFILL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED IT AND DETERMINED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED A FOURTH TIME ON 12/17/2013 AND IT WAS VERY WORRISOME AS I WAS ON THE RAMP TRYING TO MERGE INTO A HIGHWAY WHEN IT STALLED BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE SHOULDER. TODAY AGAIN AFTER REFILLING IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING FROM THE GAS STATION, AGAIN, AT LOW SPEED BUT LATER ON THE HIGHWAY, AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR IT STALLED, THE FIRST TIME IT IS STALLING AT SUCH HIGH SPEED. *TR

FOR THE 5TH TIME IN 12 MONTHS, MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C STALLED AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC WHO DID A TUNE UP, NEW SPARK PLUGS, AND EVEN REPLACED VALVE LIFTERS TO TRY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND SEE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO ME THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL, AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO STALL WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK WITH GAS. *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE PAST AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. THANK GOD IT WAS A SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. I HAVE READ ON LINE THIS IS A FAMILIAR ISSUE. WHY ISN'T ANYTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS??? *TR

CAR STALLED DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THIS IS AT LEAST THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD COMES ON AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEGUN TO STALL AT VARIOUS TIMES AND UNANNOUNCED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ONTO HIGHWAY FROM ON RAMP. MY ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. I AM ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN DRIVE FOR SOME TIME THEN UNANNOUNCED IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND ONE THAT WHEN I RESEARCH THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND NO FIX OTHER THEN A SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT OF FUEL TANK AT $2000. THIS SEEMS TO BE PREVALENT WITH THIS CAR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. *TR

AFTER REFILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY 2006 300C CHRYSLER, IT STUMBLES AS THOUGH IT IS NO LONGER GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. THERE IS A DEFINITE AND SERIOUS LOSS OF POWER, WITH CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY AS WE EXIT THE GAS STATION AND REENTER TRAFFIC. THERE IS A SENSE THAT THE ENGINE IS STRUGGLING AND WOULD STALL. THE LOSS OF POWER REPEATS SEVERAL MORE TIMES AS WE DRIVE FURTHER FROM THE GAS STATION. THIS PROBLEM HAS PRESENTED ITSELF ALMOST EVERY TIME WE REFUEL AND IS CAUSE FOR REAL CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. BASED ON ADVICE FROM OTHER 300C OWNERS, WE PLAN TO NO LONGER FILL THE TANK, BUT STOP AT ABOUT THE 3/4 MARK. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A VERY EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO A GENUINE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK, THE CAR HESITATES AND STALLS FOR THE FIRST 5 TO 20 MILES ON LOCAL STREETS. IT HAPPENS WHETHER I FILL TO THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OR THE STATION "TOPS OFF" THE TANK. AFTER THIS HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES, I STARTED TO FILL THE TANK TO 75% AND NOW IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE TO STALL LIKE THAT. I SAW THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE OTHER 2006 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND MY PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL. MY DEALER HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THEY SUGGESTED FILLING IT TO 75%. *TR

RADIATOR FAN WENT OUT,I REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE,AS OF 2/25/2012 WAS NOTIFIED BY CHRYSLER TO BRING TO DEALER TO HAVE REPLACED ? IN PROCESS NOW OF BEING REIMBURSED,HAVING TROUBLE WITH POWER WINDOW CONTROLLER ON DRIVER DOOR,NOW THE AUTO RETURN FOR THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK,U NO WHAT CHRYSLER JUST FIX THE PROBLEM OR PAY THE BILL, YOU'RE OWNED BY THE SAME PEOPLE THAT OWN OUR COMPANY WHICH IS FIAT! NOW I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVER SIDE FRONT BALL JOINTS SQUEAKING, SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AT 50,000 MI. *TR
