2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. MH

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE STALLS PERIODICALLY. THE ISSUE HAS BECOME WORST OVER TIME. THE LAST TIME MY SON WAS DRIVING WITH ME IN THE CAR AND STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. HE WAS 16 AND STILL IN THE LEARNING STAGE OF DRIVING. THE TIME BEFORE WE WERE PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION AS WE WERE ENTERING TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLED. LUCKY WE WERE NOT INVOLVE IN AN INCIDENT. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING. IT WILL STALL WHETHER IDLING OR DRIVING. TAKES 4 OR SO TRIES TO RESTART VEHICLE. HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME. I DO NOT OVERFILL OR FILL WHEN CAR IS RUNNING. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER WHO COULD NOT RECREATE PROBLEM AND COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED NO ISSUES. I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND CANNOT HELP UNLESS DEALER CAN RECREATE. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FILLING UP, WHICH THE DEALER DID 1 TIME AND OF COURSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. *TR

VEHICLE HESITATES/STALLS AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. DEALERSHIP REPLACED PURGE SOLENOID AND CANNISTER AT A COST TO ME OF $538.22. AFTER REPLACEMENT, CAR DIED ON ME 5 TIMES AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL IN LESS THAN A 4 BLOCK AREA. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THE CUSTOMARY FIX WAS A NEW CANISTER AND FUEL TANK, AT AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $1,168.70 PLUS TAX, OR TO ONLY FILL TANK 3/4 OF THE WAY FULL WHEN FUELING. I CHOOSE NOT TO PAY APPROXIMATELY AN ADDITIONAL $1,200 AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL MY TANK TO FIRST FUEL HOSE SHUTOFF SINCE. HAVE HAD TO TRY TO GUESS HOW MUCH FUEL TO PUT INTO VEHICLE WHEN FUELING EVER SINCE. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WASN'T NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE A RECORD THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE, AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE FUEL TANK EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY COVERAGE LETTER FROM CHRYSLER. HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY CHRYSLER AT ALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 STALLS AFTER I FILL IT WITH GAS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A NUMBER OF TIMES. I NOW LONGER CAN FILL MY GAS TANK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AS THE CAR STALLS WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. IT STALLED ON ME ON THE FWY. LUCKILY FOR ME, THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I WAS GOING 35 MPH. I HAVE BEEN TOLD I NEED A NEW GAS TANK WHICH WOULD COST ME OVER 1000 DOLLARS. THERE IS A LOS ANGELES TIME ARTICLE DATED MAY 14,2013 WHICH INDICATES NEARLY 200,000 COMPLAINTS REGARDING 2006 300C, DODGE CHARGER AND DODGE MAGNUM OF HAVING THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. UPDATED 03/12/14

WHEN I FILL UP MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 HEMI IT WILL STALL/ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. ACTS LIKE IT COULD BE VAPOR LOCK. IT'S TAKE A FEW TRIES TO START AFTER THIS HAPPENS. I WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW CLOSE CALLS. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. I AM SCARED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC JUST BECAUSE MY CAR WILL SOMETIMES STALL. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO MECHANICS AND THE DEALERSHIP NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY TANK, AND BEGIN TO DRIVE, IF I SLOW DOWN AND/OR COME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE DIES. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I PICK UP SPEED OR PARK THE CAR FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. IF I GET ON THE HIGHWAY, I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM. ONLY WHEN I'M DRIVING SLOWLY, RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK. IF I LET THE CAR SIT FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER REFUELING, I DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY, THE CAR STALLED OUT 4 TIMES AT 4 DIFFERENT LIGHTS. *TR

FILLED TANK WITH GAS AN LEFT THE GAS STATION THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF WILE DRIVING, THEN TRIED TO START AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN THREE TIMES AFTER THE TANK WAS LESS THAN FULL THE CAR RAN FINE. *TR

AFTER FUELING, CAR BEGAN TO SURGE, AND THEN DIE AT RANDOM FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. CAR STALLED AT MAJOR, BUSY INTERSECTION WHILE I WAS TURNING. I HAD A NEAR, POTENTIALLY FATAL ACCIDENT AS I HAD TO RESTART MY CAR WHILE ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING TOWARDS ME. THIS WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE. I HAD THIS HAPPEN A FEW MORE TIMES AND HAD ATTRIBUTED IT TO "BAD GAS" UNTIL I FOUND OUT ABOUT A FAULTY FUEL TANK/VAPOR PART IN CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND PAID $130.00 TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. RODE WITH SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO REFUEL CAR AND SHOW HIM THE PROBLEM. HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, VERIFIED MY COMPLAINT, THEN GAVE ME THE ESTIMATE OF COST TO REPLACE FUEL TANK. CHRYSLER CORP. HAS OFFERED A 25% DISCOUNT TO HELP WITH REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE FUEL TANK. THE WHOLE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE FAULTY PART IS BUILT INTO IT. THE COST QUOTE FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, PARTS AND LABOR IS $1,350.00. THE PRICE OF THE FUEL TANK ONLY, NO LABOR IS $905.00. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER 100%, THE FUEL TANK DID NOT WEAR OUT OR FAIL, THE PART THEY BUILT INTO IT FAILED. IT MAY APPEAR BY THE YEAR MODEL, (2006) THAT THIS AN OLDER MODEL BEGINNING TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, CAR HAS BEEN KEPT UP WITH REGULAR SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE AND IS IN OTHERWISE MINT CONDITION.I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND NOW I AM AWARE THAT I CANNOT FILL MY FUEL TANK TO CAPACITY WITHOUT HAVING THIS ISSUE RE OCCUR. PLEASE, ANY HELP APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AT SLOW SPEED AND AT IDLE ALSO MISS FIRES AT SPEED AFTER REFUELING GAS TANK. IT CONTINUES UNTIL A GAL. OR SO OF FUEL IS CONSUMED . *TR
