2005 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

AFTER I FILLED THE GAS TANK, I STARTED THE ENGINE, LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER THE CAR STALLED. IT STALLED TWICE BEFORE I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND AS I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. IT STALLED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I PULLED INTO A SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF THE MAIN TRAFFIC AREA. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF THE ENGINE RUNNING AND DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, THE STALLING STOPPED. I WILL INCLUDE, I DID NOT OVERFILL, I NEVER DO. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED TWICE AND HOPE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. *TR

I PULLED INTO A BP GAS STATION TO PURCHASE FILL UP. AFTER FILL UP I PROCEEDED DOWN THE STREET AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT, WAITED FOR GREEN LIGHT, BUT DIDN'T NOTICE CAR HAD SHUT DOWN. PEOPLE BEHIND HONKING BECAUSE I HAD NOT MOVED. CRANKED UP AGAIN, CAR MOVED A LITTLE. SO TWO YOUNG MEN GOT OUT AND PUSHED ME OUT OF THE STREET AS I WAS LITERALLY A SITTING DUCK IN THE STREET. I CALLED SOMEONE TO COME AND CHECK IT OUT AND HE DROVE IT HOME, BUT IT STOPPED ON HIM THREE TIMES BEFORE HE GOT IT HOME. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS HAS BEEN AND ONGOING PROCESS FOR ME SINCE OCTOBER 12, 2012. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT AS LONG AS I DO NOT FILL IT TO THE TOP IT IS OKAY AND WILL COOPERATE. THIS IS NO WAY TO USE A CAR. I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL BUT I KNOW I NEVER RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF ONE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 42141 MILES ON MY CAR SO IT IS HARDLY DRIVEN AND I EXPECTED THIS TO BE MY LAST CAR PURCHASE WITH GAS ISSUES SUCH AS THIS WHO KNOWS. WHEN I GET GAS NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL TO GET IT HOME BEFORE IT CUTS OFF. I CAN ONLY BE THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY; I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT , INJURED OR KILLED. WHAT ARE MY RECOURSES AT THIS LATE DATE. IS RECALL STILL AVAILABLE. PISSED OFF 300C OWNER. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND SPEED WAS REDUCED TO ABOUT 20 MPH. WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTED TO SPURT AND THEN SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT ONCE IT SLOWED DOWN AGAIN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BUT FORTUNATELY THE TRUCK BEHIND ME STOPPED IN TIME. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL SO ONCE THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK FULL THE SHUT DOWNS CEASE. DOES IT TAKE FATAL ACCIDENTS LIKE WHAT GM HAD BEFORE CHRYSLER ISSUES A RECALL? *TR

FILLED UP GAS TANK AND WAS LEAVING STATION AND CAR STALLED OUT. RESTARTED AND PROCEEDED ON BUSY ROADWAY, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS NOT EXPECTING ME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 300C'S OF THIS YEAR (2005). I FOUND THIS TO BE AVOIDABLE BY FILLING THE TANK TO ONLY 3/4. THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION PLAN FOR THE 2006 WITH THIS ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2005 MODEL. I VISITED THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING PROBLEM FOR 300C'S. MY CAR HAS CUT OUT IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND CONTINUES TO BE DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

AFTER I FILL UP MY CAR'S GAS TANK AND DRIVE AWAY, THE CAR WILL STALL AT THE FIRST SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS I REACH. EVENTUALLY IT RUNS FINE ? UNTIL IT'S TIME TO FILL UP THE CAR AGAIN, AT WHICH TIME THE CYCLE REPEATS. MY CAR HAS CUT OUT IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS; ONLY LUCK HAS PREVENTED ME FROM HAVING A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I READ MANY OTHER 300C OWNERS DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL? *TR

AFTER FILL UP, THE CAR STALLS AT SLOW SPEED 3 - 4 TIMES BEFORE STAYING RUNNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOT DEPENDENT ON TYPE OF GAS, WEATHER, OVERFILL, ETC. VERY DANGEROUS. CONSEQUENTLY WE ONLY FILL THE CAR TO 3/4 FULL. *JS

I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300C 2005. THE CAR STALLED 4 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT SEEMS TO BE WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND I WOULD SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30-40 MPH AND THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL. VERY DANGEROUS. THE STEERING WOULD LOCK UP AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO START THE CAR AGAIN. NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN WITH YOUR FAMILY IN THE CAR. *JS

FILLED UP GAS TANK AND WAS LEAVING STATION AND CAR STALLED OUT. RESTARTED AND PROCEEDED ONTO SUBURBAN MAIN ARTERY AND AS ACCELERATING FROM TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS NOT EXPECTING ME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD AND CRASHED INTO THE READ OF MY CAR. DAMAGE TO BOTH BUMPER COVERS, BUT NEITHER VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVEABLE AS THE SPEED WAS VERY SLOW. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 300C'S OF THIS YEAR AND IS AVOIDABLE BY FILLING THE TANK TO ONLY 3/4 OR SO. THIS TIME IT WAS FILLED BY THE STATION ATTENDANT TO THE PUMP CLICK SHUT OFF (LIKE YOU'D FILL THE TANK OF A NORMAL CAR). THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION PLAN FOR THE 2006 WITH THIS ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE 2005 MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS 2005 CHRYSLER 300C ON NOVEMBER 20, 2013 FROM HOOVER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND EVER SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT EVERY TIME I GET GAS AND I DO NOT OVER FILL MY TANK BUT DO FILL IT UP TO ALMOST FULL. ANYWAYS THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES I'VE HAD IT STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS DOING THIS I TRADED MY 2010 DODGE CHARGER SXT WHICH WASN'T THE HEMI FOR A HEMI AND FEEL LIKE I GOT A WORST ENGINE. ANYWAYS I REALLY HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED BY CHRYSLER I'VE SPENT ALOT ON REPAIRS AND THIS ISN'T FAIR THAT THE BUYER HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM I'VE OWNED PLENTY OF CARS AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN SO OBVIOUSLY CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE! *TR

EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO FULL THIS VEHICLE STALLS. AT 3/4 FILL IT DOES NOT OCCUR. IN LIGHT OF THE CHEVY COBALT TRAGEDY PERHAPS A PROPER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DEFECT WILL COMMENCE. THIS ISN'T A NUISANCE "TEMPORARY GLITCH" ISSUE, BECAUSE WHENEVER A CAR LOSES POWER UNEXPECTEDLY IT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A NUISANCE ISSUE. I EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE STALL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ENTERING A FREEWAY JUST AFTER FUELING AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. HALF-BAKED SUGGESTIONS LIKE DON'T FILL THE TANK FULL ARE SILLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC REPAIR RECOMMENDATION. *TR
