2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. OTHER CARS NEARLY STRUCK ME FROM REAR. STALLED AFTER RESTART, BLOCKING INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, NEARLY RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. ALWAYS OCCURS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. *TR

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR IT WILL BEGIN TO RUN, AND IDLE, ROUGH TO THE POINT THAT IT STALLS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED. MOST OF THE TIME IT DIES WHILE IDLING, BUT HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES. THE ISSUE IS WORSE IF THE CAR IS REFUELED FROM THE POINT THAT THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. IT WILL DIE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN REFUELED FROM THIS LOW LEVEL IN THE TANK. THE CAR HAS DIED WHILE LEAVING A RED LIGHT AND GETTING AS FAR AS THE INTERSECTION AND HAVING TO TRY TO RESTART IT WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. *TR

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE IT STALLS. THE VEHICLE LOOSES STEERING POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE TRIED TO NOT LET THE FUEL GET TO LOW AND HAVE TRIED FILLING THE TANK AT DIFFERENT LEVELS WITH NO LUCK. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300C STALLS AFTER FILL UP. CAR IS HARD TO START UP AFTER IT STALLS, IT WILL STALL A COUPLE TIMES AGAIN AND THAN IT WILL BE OK UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. CAN NOT GET MORE THAN 1/2 MILE GAS STATION. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM STARTED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, WENT TO DEALER, THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THEY RECOMMENDED TO CLEAN INJECTORS, DID THIS, IT DIDN'T HELP. LAST 3 FILL UP HAVE BEEN THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED WORKING AS COMING OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER FILLING AT GAS STATION. STEERING WENT HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. WARNING LIGHT (LUB OIL CAN) CAME UP. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN, ENGINE STARTED BUT KEPT STALLING FOR NEXT 5 MINUTES. - MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES - ALL AFTER FILLING TANK. ALL SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCES REPORTED TO DEALER. DEALER KEPT VEHICLE FOR A WEEK TRYING TO 'REPLICATE' THE ERROR BUT REPORTED NO FINDINGS. *TR

I FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GAS AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT HALF A MILE THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR STARTED AND STALLED REPEATEDLY FIVE OR SIX TIMES FOR ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS. AT A CERTAIN POINT THE PROBLEM STOPPED AND THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NEARBY AUTO SHOP AND THEY FOUND NO ERROR CODES IN THE SYSTEM. AFTER LEAVING THE AUTO SHOP THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITHOUT STALLING. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I FILLED UP WITH GAS AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF AFTER DRIVING ABOUT HALF A MILE. THE ENGINE STALLED ABOUT FIVE TIMES. IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER THIS TIME BUT IT EVENTUALLY STARTED AND DROVE FINE. *TR

WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO OF REFUELING, THE ENGINE STALLED AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. THE CAR WOULD RE-START WITH LITTLE DIFFICULTY ONLY TO STALL AGAIN VERY SHORTLY THEREAFTER. EVENTUALLY, AFTER PERHAPS 10 MINUTES OF STARTS/STALLS, AND RE-STARTS, OPERATION WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO REFUELING. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE RECURRED WITH EVERY REFUELING (AT LEAST 4 REFUELINGS SO FAR), RESULTING IN NUMEROUS ENGINE STALLS IN TRAFFIC. APART FROM THESE REFUELING-RELATED INCIDENTS THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY, AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC HAS SAID THAT "THE CAR'S COMPUTER" INDICATES ALL SYSTEMS ARE NORMAL. A GOOGLE SEARCH ON MY PROBLEM, HOWEVER, SUGGESTS THAT THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN CHRYSLER 300CS OF A SIMILAR VINTAGE. *TR

AFTER FUELING THE CHRYSLER 300C THE CAR WILL CRANK JUST FINE AND RUN FOR A MINUTE OR SO BUT THEN STALLS OUT. THIS SCENARIO CONTINUES FOR ABOUT 5 TO 8 TIMES BEFORE IT IS SAFE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD. IT HAS ALSO DIED WHILE DRIVING SHORTLY AFTER FUELING CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO STOP MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING AND UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO GOOD ANSWER FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON STARTING, THE CONTACT HEARD A POP AS ALL OF THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS FAILED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE BATTERY HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AFTER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 92,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VEHICLE STALLED AFTER REFUELING. FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL WITHOUT 'TOPPING OFF' WILL CAUSE THE CAR'S ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. NO DTCS/MILES ARE SET. CAN BE RESTARTED WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. THE STALL WILL OCCUR AT ANY ENGINE/VEHICLE SPEED AND WILL HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE CAR AFTER REFUELING. THE PROBLEM CAN BE AVOIDED BY NOT FILLING THE TANK PAST 3/4 FULL. HAVE TESTED THIS 'WORK-AROUND' AT THE SAME GAS STATION & PUMP. *TR
