After filling gas tank ( full) the car stalls for the first couple of miles. Then stop shortly after. This is happening more and more. There was a recall for the 2005-2006 models with the 5.7 and 6.1 liter engines, but not for the 3.5 liter that I own even though I have found through the chrysler forums this is a problem for many of these model ( 2005-20006) chrysler gave a life time warranty to the 5.7 and 6.1 liter models , but not mine. Even though this is the same dangerous problem as those vehicles.

What owners say
I can no longer fill my gas tank to the "full" level , if I do, my car randomly stalls out while driving or making any kind of turn, with out any warning or notification in the dash board . Also if I top off my gas tank the inside of my smells strongly of fuel , as it is leaking inside some how .
After filling the gas the car will sputter and stall. I always use 91-93 octane fuel from the kroger fuel stations, and when leaving the last few times I've had problems getting up to speed without the car getting to speed or stalling. It will restart normally pretty easily other than yesterday when my wife was driving it, it kept stalling coming home, she parked it, and the next morning it refused to start. It took a while but after starting and running it a bit, it's running fine. Vehicle was recently in for checkup at 78900 miles (80k checkup) and has just over 80k on it now. I'm an adult disabled driver, it gets driven just not far at any given time.
Ref. The federal safety agency pe13016 "faulty fuel tanks" make: chrysler; model: 300 limited; component: fuel delivery system. Every time we re-fuel the car to the "full" level, the car hesitates and stalls. On two separate occasions, this stalling has resulted in an potential collision with another vehicle being avoided only by astute driver intervention. The first occurrence was in september 2015 and has consistently repeated during every refueling since. No research or attempt to have it diagnosed or repaired has been successful. Chrysler corporation has no notification of this problem being associated with the provided VIN number and states that they can do nothing until such a notice is received. I am requesting your intervention on my behalf by notifying chrysler corporation of this reported and known public safety issue and concern with the fuel delivery system. Once documented, I can arrange to have the necessary repairs made before any other emergency situations are experienced thereby preventing injury to my wife and/or myself or any other individuals involved in a preventable accident. Thank you for the courtesy of your time and the quick acknowledgement of receipt.
When by gas level gets to 1/4 tank or below and I refuel, the car stalls for a while and sometimes shuts off while I'm driving. This also happens anytime I fill up.
Every time you fill the gas tank the car will stall.
Cars stalls while driving...no codes are on...etc light on when stalls and the car restarts without a problem. Almost in many accidents while driving with the kids. Chrysler has known about this problem and has done nothing about this particular type of model. Tipm is defectedd and there's a class action lawsuit against them.
I am the original owner of this vehicle and have all routine maintenance done at the dealer. On 2/28/2015 I had just left the grocery store and was pulling of the parking lot into traffic, car started to hesitate and then completely cut off. After several attempts it finally restarted. Then on 2/25/2015 after refueling as I was setting in traffic the car stalled and cut off again. This morning while taking kids to school the car began to shake and slow down then cut off. What is this all about?
My car stalled on a stop light twice last november 2014 and january 25, 2015 after I fill up my car. I turned off the car and then turned on the car again and it drove. For now it is working but I'm afraid it will stalled again while on the road.
After fueling my car, I have problems with my car stalling until I run some fuel out of my car. Now after I still have more then 3/4 tank of gas, my car will act fuel starved going down the freeway to an almost stall then come back on by itself. I am the original owner of this car and never heard from the dealer of a gas tank, charcoal filter recall and now it is canceled???
This is not a complaint, but info for other chrysler owners with the fuel fill/stalling problem. We just received a letter from chrysler, telling us they have issued a lifetime warranty on the components causing this problem. We made an appointment and had our 2006 300 fixed in 2 days! The fuel tank and internal valves were replaced after removing the exhaust and driveline. The job took 5-6 hours and we were not charged a cent! The car is again running very well without stalling. Thank you, chrysler!
I am having issues with the car stalling out or bogging down shortly after refueling and many times happening within less than a mile of refueling. I have brought the car into the local dealership who can not replicate the problems (and am now being stuck paying a $95 diagnostic fee), and calling chrysler directly who is unwill to try to assist. If this is a know issue (the federal safety agency action number pe13016), I don't understand why this isn't being addressed and corrected immediately.
