2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFULING CAR, DEPARTED GAS STATION AND CAR STALLED COMPLETELY WHEN IN MIDDLE OF LEFT HAND TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. PLACED CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT. DEPARTED AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN 100 YARDS AWAY FROM TURN. CAR DIED AGAIN. PLACED CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT. IT RAN SLOWLY FOR 50 YARDS OR SO AND DIED AGAIN WHILE SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC. RESTARTED THE CAR IN TRAFFIC AND IT RAN FINE FOR 1/4 MILE WHEN IT DIED COMPLETELY AGAIN AT A STOP LIGHT. AGAIN, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT GOING WITHOUT STOPPING FOR 3-4 MILES. HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE TURNING OFF THE ENGINE OVERNIGHT. *TR

VEHICLE OFTEN STALLS AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. USUALLY RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. *TR

RE: PE-13-016 COVERING 2006 CHRYSLER 300C VEHICLES WITH 5.7 L HEMI ENGINES THAT MAY STALL AFTER REFUELING I SPOKE TODAY BY PHONE WITH "[XXX]", A SUPERVISOR WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE (1-800-992-1997 AND 1-905-440-7694). HE TOLD ME THAT CONTRARY TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT IN ODI RESUME (PE13-016), CHRYSLER DID NOT BEGIN MAILING LETTERS IN JANUARY 2014 TO THE 153,817 OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON 19-GALLON FUEL TANKS TO LIFETIME COVERAGE, HE TOLD ME THAT THE MAILING (INOT-PE130016-58863.PDF) WOULD IN FACT BEGIN IN APRIL 2014. OWNERS OF THE 153,817 AFFECTED VEHICLES SHOULD LOOK TO RECEIVE THIS LETTER IN APRIL 2014. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER REFILLING MY GAS TANK TO FULL, MY ENGINE STALLS FORCING ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY ENGINE. THIS OCCURS ONLY AFTER REFILLING MY GAS TANK AND LAST FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 10 MILES OR SO. ANOTHER KEY POINT IS THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW RPM USUALLY WHILE I'M DECELERATING BETWEEN 5~10MPH. I SEE THAT THESE SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY MANY PEOPLE. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WHEN I'VE CALLED THE (800#) AND VISITED MY LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF CHRYSLERS ACKNOWLEDGMENT. IS THIS A TRUE EXTENDED WARRANTY? WHY WAS THIS INVESTIGATION CLOSED? *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP WITH FUEL THE CAR STALLED AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT ALSO SPUTTERED AND WANTED TO QUIT RUNNING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO LUSTINE CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, AND RAM LTD. IN WOODBRIDGE. WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL TANK AND CARBON CANISTER NEEDS REPLACED BECAUSE SOME FLAPPER IS BAD ALLOWING FUEL TO ENTER THE CANISTER ON FILL-UPS. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTOMS SPECIFIED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016. OUR MECHANIC HAS CONFIRMED THIS ALSO. HOWEVER, ACTION PE103016 LEADS US TO BELIEVE CHRYSLER WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE CONTACTED TWO CHRYSLER DEALERS' SERVICE DEPT'S AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE NO 'RECALLS' LISTED FOR MY CAR'S VIN. HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING CHRYSLER TO MEET THE AGREEMENT STATED IN PE13016? *TR

RIGHT AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM A FILLING STATION THE CAR STALLED, IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED,DROVE OUT ON THE STREET AND STALLED AGAIN BEFORE REACHING THE NEXT SIGNAL LIGHT. RESTARTED KEPT SLIGHTLY MORE PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR, AND WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE STOP OR SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO REACH HOME IT HAS DID THE SAME THING ABOUT A MONTH LATER. THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE SURE OF THE INCIDENT NOT OCCURRING AGAIN IS TO GUESS HOW MANY MILES I HAVE GONE BASED ON CARS? APPROXIMATE MILES PER GAL SINCE YOUR AGENCY HAS COMPLETED YOUR INQUIRY ( NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 ) AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS AGREED TO EXTEND THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY TO " LIFETIME ", HOW DO I OBTAIN AN AUTHORIZATION TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. I HAVE RECEIVED NO INFORMATION FROM CHRYSLER AS OF THIS DATE ( 3/15/14 ). *TR

EXACTLY LIKE THE SITUATIONS DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION (PE13-016), MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7L ENGINE HAS STALLED AT LOW SPEEDS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AFTER REFUELING. MY LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ??SELECT?? VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN EXTENDED WARRANTIES BY CHRYSLER GROUP LLC IN RESPONSE TO PE13-016. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN A DIFFERENT PLANT THAN THE VEHICLES IDENTIFIED WITH PE13-016. CLEARLY THERE IS AN MALFUNCTION WITH THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE (MFCV) FUEL SHUTOFF FLOAT AT MORE THAN ONE MANUFACTURING LOCATION. ALTHOUGH THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THE LAST TIME I REFUELED AND PULLED ONTO THE STREET, THE ENGINE STALLED AND I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT STALLED 2 MORE TIMES DURING THE SAME INCIDENT BEFORE IT WOULD DRIVE MORE THAN A SHORT DISTANCE. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE IS AN INJURY OR FATALITY DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE IF I AM UNABLE TO REFUEL AND DRIVE WITHOUT THE RISK OF INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AFTER REFUELING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS AND OR IF I HAVE STOPPED FOR ANY REASON. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE REPLACED ALL CONTIGUOUS PARTS TO THE FUEL SYSTEM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 19 GAL FUEL TANK. THIS SAME PROBLEM APPEARS ON MANY INTERNET OWNER FORUMS. *TR

IN MAY 2013, THE NHTSA BEGAN AN INVESTIGATION (PE13-016) INTO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT ENGINE STALLING IN 2006 CHRYSLER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 5.7L 8-CYLINDER ENGINES. IN FEBRUARY 2014, CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED THAT IT HAD DEVELOPED IMPROVED PARTS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, AND WOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON 19-GALLON FUEL TANKS TO LIFETIME COVERAGE FOR THE 153,817 AFFECTED VEHICLES. IN FEBRUARY 2014 THE NHTSA ACCEPTED THIS SOLUTION PROPOSED BY CHRYSLER AND CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION.CHRYSLER SENT ME AN EMAIL ON MARCH 13,2014 INFORMING ME, WITHOUT EXPLANATION, THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE NHTSA, AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C FUEL TANK. *TR
