2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

AFTER REFUELING MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AS I WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES BEFORE; EACH TIME I TOPPED OFF? MY GAS TANK. I WAS CONCERNED THAT I COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP? AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS CRACKED AND THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER PAYING $1,700.00 AND RENTING A CAR FOR 4 DAYS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY. WE SHALL SEE. MY CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED WITH OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES. I ALSO ONLY USE 89 OCTANE FUEL AS RECOMMENDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS, EVEN THOUGH QUITE A NUMBER OF DRIVERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL COMPLAINED THAT THE CAR STOPPED AFTER REFUELING AND TOPPING OFF THE TANK. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *JS

AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, MY CAR STALLED AS I WAS GETTING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY DANGEROUS. IT STALLED AGAIN A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND THEN IT WAS FINE AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN AFTER REFUELING. SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING ITS THE EVAP CANISTER. APPARENTLY THERE'S A VALVE THAT GETS STUCK OPEN AND LET'S LIQUID FUEL FLOOD THE ENGINE. IT'S SUPPOSED TO ONLY ALLOW FUEL VAPORS TO GET TO THE ENGINE. *JS

PURCHASED CAR USED AND WITHIN 24 HOURS HAD CAR STALL ON ME TOTALING ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW WITHIN 2 WEEKS. IT HAS STALLED EVERYWHERE FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO IDLING AND WHILE IN REVERSE. CAR STARTS BACK UP WITHOUT PROBLEM IF PUT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. HAVE HAD FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED, NEW SPARK PLUGS ( MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED COPPER) AND ALL NEW IGNITION COILS. DEALERSHIP SAID THE STALLING WAS CAUSED BY OLD SPARK PLUGS AND WORN IGNITION COILS BUT CONTINUES TO STALL AFTER ALL OF THESE WERE REPLACED. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM GOING, BUT SEEMS TO STALL MORE WHEN I REACH AROUND A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC AND WHILE ENTERING AND EXITING HIGHWAY. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS AND FAMILY IN THE CAR, THERE IS NO WARNING OF STALL AND IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS, THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED FOUR TIMES FOR REPAIR. FOUR TIMES THEY CANNOT FIND AN ISSUE. THIS TIME THE MECHANIC TELLS US TO NOT FILL UP INSTEAD FILL THE TANK THREE QUARTERS.

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN TIMES OR MORE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT ON TWO OCCASSIONS IF THE OTHER DRIVER HADN'T RAN INTO A DITCH WE BOTH COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THIS TIME. I KNOW IT'S GOING TO STALL AFTER I FILL IT UP. I NOW GET GAS CLOSE TO A LARGE DEPARTMENT STORE WITH ACCESS TO THERE PARKING LOT WHERE I CAN DRIVE TILL IT FINISHES IT'S 3 TO 4 TIMES OF STALLING ON FILL UP. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OVER THIS ISSUE.

AFTER REFUELING, MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AS MY CHILDREN AND I WERE LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE DRIVING. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION AND WOULD "JUMP" AROUND. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND EPS LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER,TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND MANUALLY TURNED THE EPS LIGHT OFF. THE CAR STARTED, THE EPS LIGHT WENT OFF, BUT ON OCCASION ON IT WOULD LOSE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR NEEDS REPLACING BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR SINCE HE KEEPS GETTING DIFFERENT CODES EACH TIME HE DOES DIAGNOSTIC. *JB

VEHICLE STALLED TWICE AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, ONCE EXITING THE GAS STATION WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AND ANOTHER 3 MINUTES LATER AT ANOTHER LIGHT ON THE FEEDER ROAD OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY OTHER ISSUES AS CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED: OIL CHANGES WITH SYNTHETIC, AIR FILTER, TRANSMISSION SERVICE, SPARK PLUGS, ECT. I ALSO ONLY USE 89 OCTANE FUEL AS RECOMMENDED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. *TR

(11-9-2006) CAR STALLED 4 TIMES IN A ROW. THE STALLING HAS CONTINUED UP TO YESTERDAY (9-15-2013). THE CAR WOULD STALL AT A STOP OR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND AT RANDOM TIMES FROM A FEW DAYS UP TO 3 OR 4 MONTHS. THE DEALER NEVER HAD A SOLUTION. I HAVE REPLACED MANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS RECOMMENDED BY THE DEALER INCLUDING THE PCM. BEFORE I CHANGED THE PCM, I WOULD HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE SWITCH TO RESTART THE CAR. AFTER I REPLACED THE PCM THE CAR WILL STILL STALL, BUT THEN WILL "KICK START" ITSELF IF I AM GOING OVER 25 MPH. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL STALL 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THEN RUN GREAT FOR A MONTH OR 2. IT IS ALWAYS RANDOM. I HAVE LOOKED INTO RENTING A BLACKBOX TO INSTALL IN MY CAR TO CAPTURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, HOWEVER THE DEALER SAYS THAT A RECORDER FOR MY CAR DOESN'T EXIST. I STILL DRIVE THIS CAR WITH CAUTION, MY WIFE NO LONGER DRIVES THIS CAR WHICH WAS HERS.. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AT VERY LOW SPEED LIMIT, THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES, AFTER A FEW GALLONS OF GAS WERE USED THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ON THREE SEPARATE TIMES BEFORE. I AM CONCERNED I COULD BE INVOLVED IN REAR END ACCIDENT IF THE ENGINE STALLS IN TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.
