2005 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

THE VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING AND IT SEEMS DIRECTLY RELATED TO WHEN I FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH GAS. I HAVE A 19 GALLON FUEL TANK. EVERY TIME A FILL THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUES TO STALL (EVEN AT 60 MPH) UNTIL THE GAS STARTS TO EMPTY OUT OF THE TANK. AS THE GAS EMPTIES, IT STALLS LESS AND LESS. AS SOON AS I REFILL, THE PROBLEM STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. I HEARD THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANK MULTIFUNCTIONAL CONTROL VALVE, WHICH SEEMS TO EXACTLY CORRELATE WITH THE ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED AUTO DEALER. *TR

THE CAR REPEATEDLY STALLS AFTER A FILL UP. THIS WILL REPEAT ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE FIRST FEW MILES BEFORE IT STOPS. IF I DON'T FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP IT WILL NOT STALL. THIS HAS CAUSED A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS (TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC) AND SHORT, TEMPORARY TRAFFIC DELAY WHILE I RESTART. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP WITH THE CORRECT GASOLINE THE CAR STALLED AND TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AFTER SPUTTERING FOR THE NEXT TEN MILES OR SO. UPON STARTING IT UP IT TAKES TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS STALLED EVERY TIME FOR THE NEXT TEN MILES OR SO AFTER FUELING. IT HAS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF ONCE WHILE TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THERE IS NO WARNING AS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN ONLY AN EXPECTATION THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AFTER EVERY REFUELING. I NOTE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME CAR FOR THE SAME REASON BUT A YEAR YOUNGER - 2006. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FULL OR PARTIAL FILL-UP AT GAS STATION. VERY DANGEROUS IF STALL OCCURS WHEN IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC OR WHEN MAKING TURNS IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC!! *TR

WHEN I COMPLETELY FILL MY GAS TANK, MY CAR WILL STALL FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MILES AT IDLE SPEEDS. SO EVERY TIME I STOP AT A LIGHT, I BASICALLY HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR FOR A MILE OR TWO UNTIL SOME GAS IS USED. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT COMPLETELY AND RESTART THE CAR AS THE CAR WON'T GO INTO GEAR (IE: THE GEARS NEED TO RESET). THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING PERIODICALLY WHILE THE CARE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY WITH GAS. I HAVE A SON AND DAUGHTER THAT ARE STARTING TO DRIVE THIS YEAR, AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO LET THEM DRIVE THIS CAR. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL LONG AGO AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO WONDERING, IF I PAY THE $1,500 TO PUT IN A NEW GAS TANK AND THERE ULTIMATELY IS A RECALL, WILL I BE ABLE TO GET REIMBURSED? THAT WOULD BE VERY USEFUL INFORMATION. THANK YOU. *TR

CAR STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP , HARD TO RESTART ONLY AFTER FILL UP AT GAS STATION WITH FULL TANK OF GAS, REACHES 3/4 TANK OF GAS CAR RUNS FINE. *TR

NEW ENGINE INSTALLED IN 2008: EVERY TIME, AFTER I PUT FUEL INTO THE GAS TANK AND DRIVE AWAY, THE ENGINE SURGES AND THEN STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE 15 MIN TRIP HOME. AT TIMES THE CAR SURGES FORWARD AND I HAVE TO BREAK TO AVOID HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR IS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 HEMI WITH A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED IN 2008. MY ORIGINAL ENGINE WAS FLOODED WITH WATER, HENCE THE REPLACEMENT. *TR

I OWN A CHRYSLER 2005 300C. THE HAD NO FUEL PROBLEMS UNTIL THE ODOMETER REACHED APPROX. 50K MILES. IT THEN STARTED TO STALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I WOULD HAVE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE IN PARK OR DRIVING UNDER 60 MPH. I HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHICH CREATED SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES UNLESS I GOT IT RESTARTED QUICKLY. I WOULD HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER DRIVING FOR A DAY OR SO. I HAVE ASKED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IF THERE WERE ANY TSB'S ON THE PROBLEM ANS HAVE BEEN TOLD NO. OWNERS ON THE CHRYSLER'S OWNER FORUM WITH MY TYPE OF CAR ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE AND SAY THAT THERE IS AN ISSUES WITH THE GAS TANKS THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. *TR
