2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

CAR STALLS/SHUTS OFF AFTER REFUELING AFTER DRIVING A WHILE STALL STOPS UNTIL REFUELING AGAIN. TOOK CAR TO DEALER THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR, THEY CHARGED ME FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY. CAR DID THE SAME THING AFTER REFUELING. TOOK IT AGAIN TODAY 2/15/15 AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WASNT COVERED FOR THE LIFETIME RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK FLOAT REPLACEMENT, ALTHOUGH IM HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE THAT CLEARLY ALOT OF OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

CAR STALLS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AFTER GASOLINE FILLUP. VERY HARD TO RESTART. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. HAS SHUT OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS AS WELL AS LOW SPEED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES ONLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED TO FULL CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE FAULTY FUEL TANK ROLL OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

I WENT TO WARM MY CAR AT ABOUT 1:55-2:25AM FRIDAY, AND A AWFUL SMELL, SO I YELLED FOR HELP, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF MY CAR WAS NOW ON FIRE. I COULD SEE THE FLAMES FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE I CALLED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO TRANSFERRED ME TO FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO ASKED ME WHAT HAPPENED AND TO STAY AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE I GOT A CUP AND OF WATER PUT IT OUT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME , DEPARTMENT CAME TO MY HOME INSPECTION OF THE CAR AND SAID DO NOT START THE VEHICLE HAVE IT TOWED AWAY. *JS

I HAD A PERSON GETTING IN AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FASTEN SEATBELT AND HEARD A PSEUDO CLICK, BUT A FEW SECONDS LATER AS I STARTED TO MOVE, THE WARNING SOUND STARTED INDICATING THE SEATBELT WAS NOT FASTENED. THE SEATBELT SEEMED TO BE SECURE BUT SOMETHING WAS NOT PERCEIVING THE BUCKLE WAS FASTENED. I WONDER IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD FUNCTION IN THIS SITUATION? THIS IS ALSO A CAR WITH THE ADDITIONAL AIRBAGS INSTALLED BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD SAFETY FEATURE TO HAVE BUT NOW AM TOLD IT IS A LIABILITY. *TR

I TURNED ON THE IGNITION AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. APPROX A WEEK LATER I RECEIVED AN A ALERT FROM NHTSA ADVISING OF A RECAL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO KNOWLEDGE. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I WOULD FILL UP WITH FUEL AND AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND HAVING TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I RECEIVED A ALERT FROM CHRYSLER LAST YEAR BUT HAVE MISPLACED THE LETTER. IT STATED THAT IF I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE GAS TANK. *TR

I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STALLING WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I PULLED OUT IN TRAFFIC AND IT STALLED, BLOCKING TRAFFIC. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO START AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD DIE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN SCOTTSBLUFF, NE AND THEY DON'T SEE AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE GAS TANK, LIKE THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE, LIKE IT MENTIONS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. *TR

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, THE ENGINE STALLS REPEATEDLY. WHEN IT STALLS, POWER STEERING IS LOST AND CAR COMES TO STOP SOMETIMES IN TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE THEN CRANKS NORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHANGED THE EGR VALVE WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SUGGESTED SHOTGUN APPROACH. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED AT LOW SPEED. THE DATE INDICATED IS BELIEVED TO BE APPROXIMATELY THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED. IT HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 6 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE LAST BEING ON JAN 2, 2015. THIS LAST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED JUST AFTER FILLING THE TANK, AND WITHIN 1 MILE. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN APPROACHING THE ENTRANCE GATE TO THE HOUSING COMPLEX, AGAIN WHEN ARRIVING AT THE HOUSE, AND ONCE MORE WHILE SITTING IDLE. *TR
