2005 Chrysler 300: fuel pump failure

Filed Nov 30, 2022 · Fuel system · GA

Strong fuel smell in cabin and outside of car when gas tank is full. Discovered gas in the cabin sitting on top of the fuel tank under the passenger-rear seat. Multiple posts in online forums confirm this is a known issue. Vehicle owner ordered a new o-ring to attempt repair. Area around fuel pump under driver's-rear seat was not affected. No warning lights, notices or performance issues. Only indication is strong gas fumes in car after filling up the gas tank (auto shutoff at pump, not topped off) which persists for several days. Problem seems minimized if gas tank is shorted 2-3 gallons from max capacity on fillup (about 14 gallons when car is close to empty per the gas gauge in dashboard.) Car was not inspected by dealer, insurance agent, police, independent service center, or anyone else other than owner.

Engine stalls after fueling tank. This has been confirmed by an independent service center. Spent months and lots of dollars trying to fix problem. Did research on internet and found chrysler had issued bulletin 14-002-14 showing there a problem with chryser 2005 and 2006 300's stalling. The fuel pump is in the tank and not monitored by engine computer. The fuel pump had gone bad causing the car to stall. Called chrysler and they said that the bulletin did not cover my model. Can not use car now because it is a safety hazard. Need help on this issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300. The contact stated that there was an abnormal noise and a burning odor coming from the vehicle. Also, the vehicle failed to crank initially and would stall intermittently. The manufacturer indicated that the vehicle had been serviced on august 3, 2010 for a fuel system recall campaign in which both fuel pump modules were replaced. Sahara chrysler jeep dodge ram (5050 w sahara ave, las vegas, nv 89146, (800) 506-5050) diagnosed that both fuel pump modules needed to be replaced again.

On january 8, 2014 at approx 2:45 pm I filled up with gas and continued home 1 block, as I entered my underground parking garage my car stalled, as I started it up, I heard liquid, I attempted to drive it in the garage to check it out, however it kept stalling. I called my mechanic and he came the next morning to check it out, and managed to get it to the shop. It took 2 days to figure out what was wrong, no code came up as it was checked via computer. It turned out that the rotator valve attached to the gas tank was stuck/broken and required a new gas tank, the gas went into the charcoal cannister, also needed to be replaced and 2 new fuel pumps as well. I researched the internet and have seen hundred if not more complaints about the same issue happening to others, this cost me $2400.00 just for getting gas. I also saw issues reported for the inner tie rod and that was confirmed bad by my mechanic as well and had to be replaced. I have attempted to call chrysler several times leaving a message and to date have not received a call back. I feel this was not some small routine repair bill and with the amounts of complaints with the same issue, chrysler should of made the repairs or reimburse the damages, numerous years of this model and several other chrysler dodge makes and models have had the same complaints-maybe a recall should of taken place. I would appreciate this being looked into if there is any option for a reimbursement in regards to this matter. Had I continued to drive on the route 62 at 45mph this could have caused an accident as I stalled driving.
