2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK, WITHIN MINUTES, MY 2006 300C SRT8 WILL STALL OR EVEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, REGARDLESS OF SPEED OF VEHICLE. IT DOES THIS AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

MY CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING THE TANK. I AM USING "PLUS" GAS AND IT STILL STALLS SEVERAL TIMES AFTER REFUELING, USUALLY AT A STOP LIGHT OR SLOWING DOWN BUT ALSO WHEN JUST DRIVING ALONG. THE CAR WILL BUCK A FEW TIMES AND THEN JUST STALL OUT. IT TAKES A FEW TRIES TO GET IT TO TURN OVER BUT EVENTUALLY IT WILL. 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). MY MECHANIC HAS NO ANSWERS. OTHER THAN THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM, I LIKE MY VEHICLE, DO YOU KNOW IF CHRYSLER HAS THE ANSWER AND IF THIS CAN BE RESOLVED? I AM GUESSING AT WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED. SOMETIME IN 2012 SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE

MY CAR HAS BEEN CUTTING OFF EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 12/01/2015 THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY GAS TANK THEY REPLACED THE TANK ON 12/14/2015. ON 12/19/2015 I WAS GOING OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR AND MY CAR JUST CUT OFF NO WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO CRANK IT BACK UP AND PULL OFF THE ROAD AND SOON AS I GOT OFF THE ROAD IT CUT OFF AGAIN THIS TIME A BOLTING LIGHT CAME UP ON THE DASH. I WAITED TWO MINUTES AND CRUNK IT BACK UP IT IMMEDIATELY CUT BACK OFF AND THE BOLTING LIGHT AGAIN. I WAITED 10 MINUTES AND IT STAYED CRUNK AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN THE RPM GAUGE JUST DROPS AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF.

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TO FULL, THE ENGINE STALLS AND IT HAPPENED IN AN INTERSECTION ON A YELLOW LIGHT. VERY SCARRY. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED

WHILE ON A CURVY ROAD AFTER DARK, AT 45 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN, DASH LIGHTS FLASHED AND WENT OFF, ENGINE DIED. 40 MPH ON A CURVY ROAD WITH NO LIGHTS. AFTER 20 SECONDS IT ALL CAME BACK ON. HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR 3 MONTHS. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS MOMENTARILY SHUT DOWN ON 4 OTHER OCCASIONS SINCE THEN. ON 12/08/15 MY WIFE WAS IN LINE AT THE DANDRIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PICKING UP MY GRANDSON. WHILE IN CAR PICKUP LINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED (SURGED FORWARD) THEN DIED. ENGINE DIED 5 TIMES BEFORE SHE COULD GET IT HOME. THIS WOULD BE CALLED A NEAR MISS ACCIDENT IN A WORKPLACE SETTING.CAR IS OPERATING NORMALLY AT THIS TIME. I HELD AN ASE MASTER TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION AND IN MY OPINION IT IS A DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL CONDITION. I REALIZE THAT SOMEONE MUST DIE IN ORDER TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND THAT IS A SHAME.

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK. THE STALLING ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW. ONLINE FORUMS DESCRIBE A KNOWN FUEL TANK GAS FUME EVAC SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. ONLY KNOWN FIX IS REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE GAS TANK. IF TANK IS FILLED ONLY 3/4'S FULL, THE STALLING DOES NOT OCCUR. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE DEFECTIVE GAS FUME EVAC SYSTEM AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANKS. CARS STALLING IN TRAFFIC IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP.

WHEN I'M DRIVING AROUND 55 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY OR BELLOW THE CAR ONCE TO SURGE AND STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IT WILL ALSO STALL STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN BUT NOT ALL THE TIME, SEEMS AFTER FILLING MY TANK UP AS WHEN IT STARTS ACTING. I'M ON A QUARTER TANK NOW IN MY CAR STILL KEEPS WANTING TO STALL

UPON FILLING UP THE CAR WITH GAS, THE CAR STALLED LESS THAN 500FT FROM THE GAS STATION. THE CAR RESTARTED AND I DROVE 1/16TH OF A MILE AND AS I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 39300 MILES ON IT.

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF CAR TO STEAR. AFTER SAT ALL CAR WOULD START AND DRIVE OK. DANGER IS WHEN CAR STALLS ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, COULD NOT FILL TANK UP.

WHEN REFUELING OUR VEHICLE, USING THE CORRECT GRADE OF GAS, NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK AND ALLOWING THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN FILLED, WE ARE EXPERIENCING LIFE THREATENING EPISODES OF STALLING OUT WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM A GAS STATION, OR IDLING IN TRAFFIC, TURNING CORNERS, AND ENTERING RAMPS TO THE HIGHWAY IT WILL STALL AND CHOKE WHEN WE TRY TO START IT BACK UP. WE WAIT APPROXIMATELY 3-5 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING A RESTART WITHOUT ENGAGING THE GAS PEDAL. BUT STILL NOTHING HAPPENS. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF WE FORCIBLY HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE YOU LOSE POWER TO YOUR BRAKES, STEERING, ETC. AND JUST PRAY THAT NOBODY GETS INJURED. DURING THE STALL OUT THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWN ON THE DASHBOARD. ONCE WE FINALLY GET IT TO HOLD A START, WE MUST AT HIGH IDLE DRIVE FAST AS POSSIBLE, GETTING OFF THE MAIN ROAD/HIGHWAY/CITY STREET TO IMMEDIATELY GARAGE THE CAR. THEN WE HAVE TO HAVE IT RUN WITH THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN FOR AT LEAST 2.0 HOURS. AND THEN WE CAUTIOUSLY DRIVE IT WITH ME FOLLOWING MY HUSBAND TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T STALL OUT AGAIN. ONCE WE GET PASS THIS STALLING-OUT PERIOD THE CAR BEHAVES PROPERLY, AND WE HAVE NO FURTHER ISSUES UNTIL WE REFUEL AGAIN ON A WEEKLY BASIS. WE ONLY HAVE THIS REFUELING ISSUE WHEN FILLING THE CAR. IT INDEED IS A PROBLEM THAT THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC DISCUSSED IN THE LETTER WE RECEIVED MAY 8, 2014, IN THE 2ND PARAGRAPH "THE AFFECTED VEHICLE POPULATION MAY EXPERIENCE A CONDITION WHERE THE FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT, IN THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE STICKS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE VEHICLE STALLING AFTER REFUELING. THIS STATEMENT FOR US IS DEFINITELY OUR PROBLEM. AND WE ARE PLANNING TO ADDRESS IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP ASAP. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY WEEK. THE LAST TIME WAS OCTOBER 30TH 2015. WE HAVE NOW ONLY FILLED IT TO THE 3/4 MARK AND IT HAS STOPPED STALLING OUT TEMPORARILY.
