2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

AFTER RE-FUELING, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES MULTIPLE STALL CONDITIONS WHILE ON THE ROAD. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CAN OCCUR BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I'VE NOTICED THAT THIS MORE FREQUENTLY OCCURS WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK TO THE POINT THAT THE AUTO SHUT OFF ON THE GAS NOZZLE IS TRIPPED. THE CAR GIVES NO WARNING THAT ITS ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE AN ISSUE UNTIL THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF, MOST LIKELY WHILE YOU'RE ALREADY ON THE ROAD. RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY TO COMBAT THIS PROBLEM IS TO NOT FILL UP THE CAR MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE TANK. THIS METHOD KEEPS THE DRIVER GUESSING AS TO HOW MUCH GAS SHOULD BE PUMPED, AND CAUSES MORE FREQUENT FILL UPS AS YOU'RE NOT USING 1/4 OF THE GAS TANK CAPACITY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, AND ITS ONE THAT SHOULD BE COMMUNICATED TO ALL 300C OWNERS IMMEDIATELY. *TR

FOR THE LAST 30,000+ MILES, EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR STALLS OR ATTEMPTS TO STALL. ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. HE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND NO REPORTED INSTANCES. I'VE LEARNED TO APPLY A LITTLE GAS WHEN I HAVE TO STOP AT RED LIGHTS TO KEEP IT RUNNING. IT WILL STILL STALL OUT. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET EVERY FEW MONTHS TO SEE IF ANYONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND FINALLY FOUND YOUR INVESTIGATION ACTION NUMBER PE13016. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR STALLING AFTER I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. I READ THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT RECALLING FOR THIS REASON SO I JUST READ FORUMS AND TRIED NOT TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK BUT SOMETIMES I FORGET AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

STOPPED ON THE WAY HOME TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK. WHEN THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF, I REMOVED THE NOZZLE. I HEARD A GURGLING SOUND IN THE TANK WHICH WAS UNUSUAL. I BEGAN DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION THROUGH THE ADJACENT PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE DIED WITHIN 150 FEET OF DRIVING. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND UPON IT DIED AGAIN WITHIN 15 FEET. RE-STARTED A THIRD TIME AND IT STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND UPON DOING DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOUND THAT THE ROLL OVER VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WAS BAD WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO GET INTO THE EVAP VENT HOSE WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FLOOD AND STALL OUT. SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE TANK WHICH IS ON BACK ORDER TIL JAN 30TH (9 DAYS FROM NOW). THEY ARE EXPECTING IN 130 TANKS AT THE WAREHOUSE WHICH IS SUGGESTING THIS ISSUE IS BECOMING MORE COMMON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ABRUPTLY STALLS AS IF SOMEONE JUST TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. AND IT IS NOT A GOOD FEELING WHEN YOU HAVE TO MANEUVER THREE LANES WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. THE CAR MUST BE STOPPED COMPLETELY TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO GET THE CAR GOING TILL IT STALLS AGAIN 6 TIMES TONIGHT JUST TO DRIVE 10 MILES TO GET HOME. NO WARNING YOU CAN BE GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR OR 5 AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING THEY FIXED IT BUT NO HERE IT IS AGAIN STALLING OUT LESS THAN A WEEK FROM BEING AT THE DEALERS. SOME TIMES LESS THAN A DAY AFTER THEY HAVE HAD IT. WHY CANT CHRYSLER FIX THEIR OWN CARS THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT SEEMS NOT TO BE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM IT RUNS GREAT NO SPUTTERING OR JERKING JUST DRIVING ALONG AND ELECTRONICALLY IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. THEY HAVE REPLACED A MULTITUDE OF SENSORS AND THE PCM THE TCM AND SOME PARTS I CANT EVEN NAME AND EACH TIME THEY SAY ITS FIXED AND EACH TIME IT DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, LOST TIME AT WORK I CANT DRIVE MY CAR WITH THE FEELING OF SAFETY OR SECURITY. THE STRESS LEVELS IN MY FAMILY ARE SKY HIGH. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CHRYSLER TO FIX THEIR OWN CAR PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY AND UNJUSTLY BY THIS CAR AND COMPANY. PLEASE IF THEY CANT FIX THEIR OWN CAR WHO CAN? WE AS CONSUMER'S ARE BEING UNFAIRLY VICTIMIZED PLEASE HELP. *TR

AFTER I FILL UP (I DO NOT OVERFILL), WITHIN THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES I DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT THAT AT 40-50 MPH IT WILL "HESITATE/JERK" LIKE THERE IS A FUEL MIX ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. *TR

I DROVE TO THE GAS STATION, AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING AROUND THE CORNER THE CAR STALLED. I WAS GOING AROUND 20 MILES PER HOUR. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR BACK ON AFTER A FEW TIMES AND IT JUST WOULDN'T START. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I MANAGED TO START THE CAR BACK ON AND I DROVE IN A NEAR BY SHOPPING CENTER. AS I PULLED UP THE CAR STALLED ONCE AGAIN. I DECIDED TO WAIT ABOUT TEN MORE MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND IT FAILED TO START. I WAITED AN ADDITIONAL 20 MINUTES AND FINALLY IT STARTED WITH A LITTLE HESITATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES NOW. *TR

AFTER REFUELING AT LOCAL GAS STATION DROVE 5 MILES. STOPPED AT LIGHT WHERE VEHICLE STALLED SUDDENLY. VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS WITH IGNITION KEY. *TR

ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED WORKING AS COMING OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER FILLING UP. STEERING WENT HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK, WARNING LIGHT (LUBE OIL CAN) CAME UP. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN, ENGINE STARTED BUT KEPT STALLING. JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN MOVING SLOWLY 0 TO 20 MPH , THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO STALL DURING DECELERATION OR WHEN STOPPED FOR THE NEXT 3 MILES. STALLING OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WILL STALL 2-3 TIMES IN A 5 MINUTE PERIOD. THE VEHICLE PERFORMS CORRECTLY ONCE YOU GET PAST THIS STAGE. MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES - ALL AFTER FILLING TANK. *TR

I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR! THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS, RIGHT AFTER I FUEL UP, I LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN/OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON, THE ENGINE STALLS, I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER, AND MY CAR IS "DEAD IN THE WATER". IT IS REALLY FRIGHTENING! IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, AND TWO MORE TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING, BUT EACH TIME IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER GETTING GAS. LUCKILY, THESE MULTIPLE STALLING INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR DYING WHILE I AM ON THE FREEWAY, AS IT WOULD SURELY END UP IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. IF OTHER OWNERS OF A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THROUGH RECALLING THESE VEHICLES FOR REPAIR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR
