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.

The vehicle stalled while driving rendering it uncontrollable and with no power on the highway with speeds of 55 and over without warning. The vehicle has not started since the onset of the issue. After many costly repairs, my mechanic has labelled the issue as a bad/malfunctioning powertrain control module. The fuel pump, sending unit, and crank sensor have been replaced with no change. This is a common issue for this specific model. It has not started since november of last year.

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.

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.
