Every time you fill the vehicle with gas, the car dies shortly after fueling with out any kind of warning. After you drive a little ways and burn some of the fuel from the tank, the car runs fine. The driver has no warning and the car has trouble starting after it dies. I was almost in a serious accident because I pulled out of the gas station after filling with fuel. I was in heavy traffic and the car died. The car is quite and I didn't realized the car died. I just kept pressing on the gas peddle until I observed the RPM gauge was on zero. I had no warning. I bought this vehicle used with low mileage. I thought is was a isolated incident, but sadly was wrong. It happens every time you fill it up with gas and may die once or several times. There are no pre-warnings for the vehicle stalling. All acceleration, powers steering, and power brakes were gone with out warning. A quick search on the internet reviled this is a defect in the gas tank design and chrysler has not stepped up to fix this. Chrysler said the only fix is a new fuel tank and they are are aware of the issue. Chrysler also change the design of the fuel tank in later models because of the defect please hold the maker accountable for dangerous and life threatening defect.

After filling gas engine stalks shot off and while driving engine quit running and now when trying to fill tank pump st gas station stop is hard to fill up the tank
After filling up the gas tank, the vehicle started stalling right after I started driving away from the gas station. I was in the middle of the road, during a heavy traffic hour on city street. After turning off the vehicle and waiting a few minutes, I was able to restart but the vehicle stalled again. This has happened quite often. I have brought the vehicle to the dealership and they said nothing is wrong, but the problem keeps getting worse. After talking with them today, they said to bring the vehicle in almost full of gas and they will top it off and check for the stalling. This is the first time they acknowledged this issue. I am concerned about driving the vehicle to the dealership, knowing it will stall in traffic. The cost to repair if not covered is approx. $1,500. I asked about the extended lifetime coverage and was told to contact you. My problem matches exactly what is documented in your investigation document pe 13-016.

Car stall when full
Fuel tank extended warranty on 2006 chrysler 300
5 min after filling the fuel tank, going approximately 15 MPH, the car started lurching forward. Turned onto a side street, pressed gas pedal and the car completely died. Then restarted as if normal. We had 2 grandchildren in the car on a very busy street. This could easily have created an accident. Researched this problem, found there was a recall for the exact problem. But, when I entered the VIN on this site, it states no recalls for this VIN. What is my next step? I just bought the car and the original owner is deceased so I can't obtain any info/history on the car.
After filling with fuel strong fuel smell and engine coming on with a code of fuel tank pressure had check tank is leaking from top
Very strong fuel smell what looks like may be a gasket under rear seat in vehicle... Smell is even stronger after filling up, and when making hard stops. There is no gasoline seen leaking from under car at this time. Concerned about fire hazard. Heard others have had similar problems. This could also be a very significant fire concern as the fumes are very strong in garage with vehicle parked, and could be a problem when gas appliances or water heaters come in proximity to vehicle.
I own a 2006chrysler 300 with a 3.5 liter engine. Over the last several months, I've experienced stalling and engine shut off following refueling. I took the vehicle in to my mechanic who alerted me to a recall issued by chrysler over this exact problem. The challenge, I was told, was that this was a VIN specific recall, 14-002-14, dated 4/2214, on my model and engine's fuel system, noted as a lifetime warranty repair, as stated in that recall, but it did not include my VIN number. My mechanic confirmed that this problem, allowing gasoline to enter the evaporator chamber in the fuel system by dropping the gas tank and examining it. I was told to take this to a local dealership to have it addressed. At my local dealership, the same examination was conducted and the same problem confirmed. The dealer told me that since the limited recall did not include my VIN number, I'd have to appeal to chrysler directly. After several weeks of promised calls never being made to me, I finally spoke with brittany, a customer service supervisor who said I was not entitled to the lifetime warranty and free repair to this factory defect because my VIN was not one of those vehicles covered under that recall. She said any repair to this acknowledged factory defect, confirmed by chysler's dealership mechanics, would have to done at my expense. As a consumer, I find this egregious. Why should an acknowledge factory defect be repaired on my dime, while the same model, year and engine type as my vehicle is covered under and unlimited warranty by chrysler for other, select vehicles. I am appealing to your organization to help me obtain this repair before my family and/or I are subjected to a roadside failure of tragic accident. I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Thank you.
Shortly after filling gas tank, whether standing or at considerable speed, car stalls several times. When at highway speed (ie 65 MPH on route 80) car will shudder and then restart itself; at slow speed driver must restart manually by shifting into neutral and using ignition. If parked at idle, car will just stop several times. Occurs at all levels of gas tank prior to refill. (I am forced to select a date, below, but it has happen many times in the last four months that I have owned the car.)
After fill up tank the car stalls 3 to 6 times in the first 5 miles. Completely dead no power steering no nothing. Will restart. Then do it again.

The car stalls at stops after filling the tank completely I have noticed a lifetime warranty extension on these cars but chrysler tells me mine has no recalls for this
Vehicle shuts off while driving in traffic without any warning. No indicators appear on the dashboard. This occurs in the morning after starting the car and driving less than one half mile. When I come to a light or stop sign the vehicle shuts off.
Power loss after re-feeling car turned off
Right after refueling the car it ended up stalling at a red light. The engine completely shut off so I had to restart the car in order to drive again. The engine continuously shut off at every stop. It even happened in the middle of a u-turn, so I was stuck in the middle of the street until recranking the car. I did research and noticed this was a fuel tank problem do to a faulty valve placed in the fuel tank. They extended the warranty for some 2006 chrysler 300 owners, but not all. Leaving me with the same problem and no help getting the problem fixed. Even though it is there fault for building a faulty valve.
When tank is full the car shimmies and feels like it is going to stall. When tank is only half full no issues.
For the year every time I fill my car up with gas there is an overwhelming fuel smell inside and outside of the car. The smell is so bad that we roll the windows down in order to breath for at least 4days. It is now 115 degrees outside and if the air is on, my kids and I get nauseous. I took it into 2 different mechanics and they can't seem to locate the problem. The vehicle smell is evident being stationary and moving.

Gear shift stalled during rush hour traffic on october 14th, 2016. Car was towed to dealership for repair. Car was leaking fuel december 14, 2016. Car was taken back to dealership again with the same problem on january 11th with leaking fuel. Tank is deteriorating according to dealership service advisor manager. Car is being repaired. Not sure what is happening on the base model regarding the 2006 chrysler 300. I have spent a lot of money on this car. The "kinks" should have been repaired on the 2006 chrysler 300 base models with the "gear shift and gas leaks. Can I get a refund on my gearshift being stuck in traffic on a busy city street. There should have been a recall on this model on fuel tanks and stalling in traffic.
This vehicle have a serious and dangerous problem when is refueling with the fuel vapor recovery system. Also expell fuel from the tank. The fuel system allowed an overfill condition after refueling and the engine stall when the vehicle stopped or traveling at slow speed.
