2006 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

AFTER THE CAR WAS TOPPED OFF WITH FUEL THE ENGINE STALLS. IT IS THEN VERY DIFFICULT TO START. IT HAPPENED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE ENGINE WOULD STALL IF YOU DID NOT KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. THE MPH DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON STALLING. IT STARTED STALLING IMMEDIATELY AFTER FULL-UP. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY GASOLINE TANK AND DRIVING AWAY THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. WHILE STILL ROLLING FORWARD I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. I ALWAYS SUCCEEDED IN RESTARTING THE CAR WHILE IT WAS ROLLING FORWARD. HOWEVER, THE STALLING WOULD REPEAT ITSELF TWO TO THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED DOING THIS. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAD NO SOLUTIONS. AFTER MONTHS OF REPEATED EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM I STARTED TO FILL MY TANK ONLY TO ABOUT 3/4TH FULL AND THE STALLING WAS SOLVED. HOWEVER, AFTER HITTING SOME ROUGH ROAD AFTER A 3/4TH FILLING (THE GASOLINE GOT SLOSHED ABOUT, I AM SURE),THE ENGINE STALLED ON ME. ON JUNE 12, 2012 I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP, OVERLAND PARK JEEP, CHRYSLER, DODGE, IN OVERLAND PARK, KS TO START REPLACING GASOLINE TANK PARTS. THEY INSTALLED A 4891427AB DETECTOR-NATURAL VACUUM DETECTI....., A SOLENOID-PROPORTIONAL PURGE AND A CANISTER-VAPOR. (THEIR INVOICE #429537). THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE STALLING PROBLEM. ON MARCH 26, 2013 I FINALLY GAVE UP ON THE PROBLEM AND ASKED OPJCD TO REPLACE THE SADDLE-BAG GASOLINE TANKS. THEIR INVOICE 452851 COVERED THE INSTALLATION OF A 68051891 AA TANK-FUEL, O-RING-FUEL PUMP AND LEVEL UNIT. WITH THREE COMPLETE GASOLINE TANK FILL UP'S I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH STALLING. I AM WRITING TO YOU AFTER READING, IN THIS MORNINGS NEWSPAPER, ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS BEING LOOKED INTO BY YOUR AGENCY AND I WANTED TO REPORT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND WHAT I DID ABOUT IT. OPJCD SERVICE MAN TOLD ME THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY EXPENSES IF A RECALL WAS MADE ON MY CAR. I PAID A TOTAL OF $1,453.90 TO GET MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C, I HOPE, FIXED. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAD JUST REFUELED AT THE QUICK TRIP LEFT THE STATION AND WITHIN ONE MILE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE CUTTING OFF AND ON. THE TACHOMETER WOULD SHOW THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING FROM 2000 RPM'S TO 1000 THIS HAPPENED MAYBE 5 TIMES IN A ONE MINUTE SPAN AND THEN QUIT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE CHARCOAL CANISTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 07/10/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL TANK MODULE FAILED. WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED IT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER. UPDATED 07/19/2013 *JS

MANY MULTIPLE INCIDENTS - AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK, ENGINE WILL STALL MULTIPLE TIMES SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AND IS DIFFICULT TO RE-START. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF CARE IS TAKEN TO AVOID "TOPPING OFF" TANK. AT TIMES THE ENGINE HAS EVEN STALLED DURING FUELING ONCE TANK IS NEAR FULL, BEFORE PUMP CLICKS OFF. MUST DRIVE WITH GAS CAP REMOVED FOR IT TO START AND RUN AT ALL FOR MANY MILES BEFORE IT BEHAVES NORMALLY AGAIN, AND EVEN WITH GAS CAP REMOVED IT STILL WILL COME NEAR STALLING AT TIMES. *TR

AFTER REFUELING, MY CHRYSLER 300SRT 2006 6.1 LITER V-8 ENGINE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH TOWN. IT RESTARTED QUICKLY AND I CONTINUED MY TRAVEL. WITHIN 1 MILE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AND RESTARTED QUICKLY. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER INCIDENT AS OF 5/5/13. I AM CONCERNED AFTER READING AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS OF THE SAME YEAR AND SIMILAR MODELS. I TRAVEL THE INTERSTATES OFTEN AND REFUEL DURING MY TRAVEL AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WILL STALL ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH SURROUNDED BY OTHER CARS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO MY CHRYSLER DEALER AND UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS DISCOVERED QUICKLY BEFORE THERE ARE ANY CRASHES WITH OR WITHOUT INJURIES. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO? *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE IS PRONE TO STALL. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES AND SPEEDS. IF YOU ONLY FILL THE TANK UP 3/4 OF THE WAY IT SEEMS TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. NO TROUBLE CODES ARE SET. AFTER STALLING THE VEHICLE CAN SOMETIMES BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY, OTHER TIMES IT MIGHT HAVE TO SIT FOR 5 MINUTES. *TR

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK WITH FUEL ENGINE WILL STALL FOR THE FIRST FEW MILES. HAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC/ROADWAY PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER AFTER PUTTING FUEL INTO THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AT LEAST ONCE AFTER REFUELING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL-LINE PURGE VALVE LAST YEAR,BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT IT WAS BAD GAS THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, BUT I'VE TRIED USING SEVERAL BRANDS OF FUEL WITHOUT ANY LUCK. I DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE THAT MUCH, BUT I HAVE HAD A FEW NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE ENGINE ACCELERATES BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM, I FILLED UP MY CAR AFTER A TRIP, AND UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION MY ENGINE STALLED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO CRANK AND WHEN THE ENGINE DID COME ON ONCE THE RPMS WOULD NOT SETTLE AND THEY KEPT DIPPING TO ALMOST ZERO BEFORE THE ENGINE CUT OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN ABOUT FIVE TIMES AND I FINALLY HAD ONE REPAIR SHOP TELL ME TO NOT FILL MY GAS TANK UP ALL THE WAY AND IT SHOULD PREVENT THE CUT OFFS. I THEN FAILED AN EMISSIONS TEST AND HAD TO HAVE MY GAS CAP REPLACED. I THOUGHT THAT THIS HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM SO I TRIED TO FILL THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY AGAIN AND IT IMMEDIATELY CUT OFF AFTER STARTING IT UP. I WAS ABLE TO REV THE ENGINE AND USE UP SOME OF THE GAS AND MANAGED TO GET THE CAR HOME WITH THE RPMS CONSTANTLY DIPPING ALMOST TO ZERO. THE CAR CUT OUT AT A STOP LIGHT AND I THEN HAD TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AFTER SITTING IN THE INTERSECTION STALLED. I'VE HAD MY CAR INSPECTED BY TWO CHRYSLER DEALERS, A FEW INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS, AND ALSO A NISSAN DEALER WHERE I KNOW THE HEAD MECHANIC. THE ONLY ANSWERS I'VE GOTTEN WERE THAT IT IS A FAULTY O2 SENSOR AND NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK. *TR
