2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C IT WOULD SHUT OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS REFUELED. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STALLING IN THE INTERSECTION. *TR

STARTED TO STALL ON A TRIP TO LA. IN JAN. 2014,STALLS AFTER EVERY REFILL.USUALLY STALLED TURNING ON TO ENTRY RAMP OR ON ENTRY RAMP OF INTERSTATE.NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES .THROW INTO NEUTRAL RESTART,POWER STEERING THEN KICKS IN THROWING ME ALL OVER THE ENTRANCE RAMP. STALLS AFTER EVERY REFILL,I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR TRIPS THATS WHY THE MILEAGE IS SO LOW,NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR THE PURPOSE I BOUGHT IT. I'M A CHRYSLER RETIREE! TOTALLY UNSAFE FOR MY PURPOSES. *JS

THE BELOW ARE INSERTS FROM MY CONTACT AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION, AND THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH STALLING AFTER FILLING WITH MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 SRT8. THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE LISTED AND DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE BLOGS TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION?S ONLINE FORUM TO INDICATE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BY YOUR ORGANIZATION AND THE DEALERSHIPS WHO SERVICE OUR VEHICLES, AND IF YOU WANT TO REALLY WON'T TO ASSIST ME IN ENSURING THAT THIS MATTER IS CORRECTED YOU CAN INSTRUCT AND AUTHORIZE AIRPARK CHRYSLER JEEP TO RESOLVED MY PROBLEM WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY OR THE NEED TO CONTINUE WITH FURTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. AS I STATED ABOVE, THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND FALLS ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO RECTIFY WITHOUT ALL THE RUN-AROUND I AM RECEIVING AT THE MOMENT TO GET THIS ACCOMPLISHED. MY VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK INSTALLED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND YOU CAN ASSIST IN GETTING THIS DONE BY PROVIDING THAT REPLACEMENT AND CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP THAT NEEDS TO DO IT.

I HAD JUST FILLED UP THE TANK AND PULLED ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO A PARKING LOT. AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE CAR DIED. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AFTER ABOUT THREE ATTEMPTS. AFTER LEAVING THE STORE I DROVE HOME AND IT DIED ON ME AT THE END ON THE PARKING LOT AS I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. IT DIED ONCE MORE AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT APPROX. 25 MPH. AFTER I GOT IT HOME, I ALLOWED IT TO IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WITH NO PROBLEM. AFTER EATING DINNER I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION. IT DIED AND TOOK ABOUT FIVE ATTEMPTS TO GET IT RESTARTED. *TR UPDATED 10/1/2014 *JS

FILLED UP THE CAR AND UPON PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS OFF.VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHERS.I AM SURPRISED THUS FAR,VERY THANKFUL,NO FATALITIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED. *JS

ON APRIL 9TH AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 P.M. I FILLED MY CAR WITH FUEL UNTIL THE PUMP SHUT OFF. AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL LID I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. ALMOST AS SOON AS I STOPPED THE ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH, AS IF IT WERE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND STOPPED. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE ANOTHER BLOCK BEFORE STOPPING AT ANOTHER TRAFFIC SIGNAL. AGAIN, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED. I GOT IT STARTED AND REACHED PARK MANOR NURSING HOME AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WHILE I WENT TO VISIT. WHEN I LEFT THE NURSING HOME, I WENT DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ABOUT 1/8 MILE TO A 5 LANE INTERSECTION THAT HAD A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED AGAIN JUST AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART IT THEN CAREFULLY LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL ENOUGH TO PUT THE GEAR SHIFT BACK IN "D" AND DRIVE AWAY. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED ANY ENGINE STOPS, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY DANGEROUS, SINCE YOU CANNOT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND NOTHING SEEMED TO TRIGGER THE FAULTS. EACH TIME THE ENGINE STOPPED, I NOTICED THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR WAS DISPLAYED AND WATCHED IT RISE TO NORMAL WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS EVERY TIME I FILLED MY GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED. I WOULD START IT AND IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED GETTING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR DEAD STOPPED ALSO AT INTERSECTIONS. EVERY TIME I STOPPED THE CAR AT A LIGHT AFTER FILL UP CAR WOULD STOP. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AS I FEARED I WOULD BE KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER JAN 14, 2014. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK, EVAP CANASTER AND VENT VALVE AT A COST OF $1740.22. I ASKED IF THIS CONDITION WAS UNDER WARRENTY THEY SAID NO. I UNDERSTAND THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED ON THE FUEL TANKS AS PER PE 13-016. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRENTY. CHRYSLER IS NOT HONORING THEIR OBLIGATION TO REPAIR THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I WANT TO BE SURE MY VIN# IS INCLUDED IN THIS WARRENTY AS I WILL SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

AT THE GAS STATION AT LOW IDLE RIGHT AFTER FUELING CAR SHUT OFF. SHUT OFF AGAIN AT LOW SPEED THE NEXT DAY, NO FURTHER FUELING HAS TAKEN PLACE AS OF YET. *TR
