Chrysler 300 ltd rwd 2006 stalls when car slows down. Have performed regular maintenance and had ignition switch replaced at dealership - car engine light comes on after it stalls, but when car is re-started, (which it does) engine light is no longer on - very dangerous to have no warning, just dies - car runs great when running, but quits suddenly when speed is reduced - do not want to own car anymore.

Page 4 of 7: complaints 71 to 100 of 172, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After filling tank with gas, the car stalls and dies in traffic and after stopping at light. Was told by dealership that they must verify that it happens. Well after having the car for 3 days, they say that they cannot duplicate the problem. So therefore will not perform the replacement. Very dangerous and frustrating!! So will wait until accident happens or recall ifs finally issued!!!! This has happened to me 4-5 times in 3 days.
It runs quiet and everything it just cut off on me while I was on brake at a stopping position, I was at a light on my brakes and it cut off on me, I just bought it yesterday, and filled my tank up...I love this car, what is wrong with it?
I had just finished filling up when I pulled out the gas station, my car choked up, it continue fine for about a mile and when I stopped to turn left at the light my car completely turned off, tried to start it a few times and did not work waited about 5 minutes and the car finally started. I heard that this is an on going problem with thus model. This is the first time it happened to me. It was really scary but I was glad it happened when I was at the light.
I was leaving my neighborhood and I stopped at the stop sign. As I was leaving, I heard a jerk before turning. As im driving, I noticed that the gears weren't switching properly. I had to pull over and turn the car off and back on. Later that day, I pulled into a drive thru and my car wouldn't move. The engine did not turn off but it wasn't revving. I continued to press the throttle and it finally jerked and moved. Ive had many ocassions of my vehicle having no reaction from hitting the gas pedal to it not shifting gears.

Filled up gas tank and as I was pulling out off gas station car shut off. I turned the car off and on again and it started, drove apx fifty feet and car shut off again, luckily I had already pulled over to the side of the road. Towed the car to the shop, was told the gas needed to burn off a little. Worked but had three more incident since then. Apparent the fuel tank when filled up expand and fuel get into the engine. Can't afford to fix the problem, been lay off going on three years now.
After filling up with fuel the vehicle stalls about 3 or 4 times. I looked this issue up and there was a recall, but it was VIN specific. I refueled on 7 january 2015, and was turning onto a busy highway, the car stalled while I was turning, I placed it in neutral and restarted it. About 1/2 mile down the road it again stalled, I lost power steering, and once again had to put it in neutral. The automobile stalled one more time and then resumed normal operation. I am afraid that this will happen when I am accessing an interstate where the consequences will be much worse.

This site contains the exact issue I have been experiencing with my chrysler 300 2006 vehicle for approx 1.5 yrs. I need to find the recall number so I can have this issue resolved asap!
I have a 2006 chrysler 300c, which is the motor trend car for that year. I really enjoy the spacious room and power of this car and was happy to get it back in the spring of 2005, directly from the factory. I had been enjoying my car until the car starting stalling. My vehicle stalled out after I filled the gas tank. It stalled several times while I attempted to leave the gas station. This has been an ongoing problem and I have been waiting for the gas tank to be replaced every since I heard about the recall last year. To date, the tank has not been replaced and I am concerned about driving it and stalling in traffic. This could result in serious accident if it stalls in traffic. I have taken the vehicle to a couple of dealerships in my area without any help for this issue.
Hello all, I have a car that has a know problem (pe13-016) my car is now stalling more and more everyday whether the tank is full or not. I have three small children and fear taking them into my car as I loose power when it stalls at the worst times... The dealer said this VIN isn't under the re-call! Very frustrated any help would be greatly appreciated! Best to you all! Please and thanks!
After filling tank with gas and driving off from gas station, the car misses, bucks and stalls out. Stalls 3/4 times before I can continue driving. Car will miss and buck several more times before running normal. I am the original owner of chrysler 300 with a hemi engine. I received no notification from chrysler informing me of this problem. This is a dangerous problem that chrysler needs to remedy for all cars involved.
The car stalled within 1/8 mile after stopping to fill the tank with gas.
Filled car and it stalled out. After restarting and driving a little while seemed fine. Recently 11/2/14 and today 11/11/14 after filling gas tank same issue two weeks in a row. I saw a lifetime extension of warranty come a few months back. I just want to get in line for recall.
This has been going on for at least 6 months. Everytime I fill my tank up with gas, stop at a stop light, the car cuts off. It cuts off everytime I stop after filling the tank. Yesterday 10/28/2014, I filled and got on the highway, slowed to traffic and almost died. A car was coming full speed behind me, there was nothing I could do but pray. The car started and I was able to pull off. I had panic attach and I refuse to drive this car again! Please help!!
Always after fueling car will stall. At idle, or starting to drive off, or at stop sign or light or going down street or freeway. Not always easy to get restarted either. After 1,2,miles or so wont do it anymore, until next fill time.
Always after fueling, car will stall several times, until it stays running. May stall as soon as start eng.,or start to drive off, or down the road or freeway. Or at stop signs, or lights.
My chrysler 300 2006 has been stalling at low speeds and when stopped after refueling. I took the vehicle to the dealership to have them check the problem for the first time in june. They did not find anything so I continued to deal with the issue until september because the issue got worse and stalled on the expressway. I received a notice from chrysler about my vehicle having a recall and to set up service. Only after I brought the notice to the dealer did the acknowledge that this was the reason my car was stalling so much. They said the repairs were covered under warranty and they would order the fuel tank. This was over a month ago the dealership still has not received the parts. I recently was in a car accident because of this defect, my vehicle stalled on on the road and caused a 4 car pile up. I have contacted chrysler and they are not trying to resolve the issue.
In april of 2014 I informed my local chrysler dealer of a stalling problem on our chrysler 300c. This problem first occurred in 2011 after fueling the vehicle and pulling into traffic. The engine did restart and cleared itself out right away. I complained to the dealer and at that time I'm guessing it was a new issue because " we have never heard of that". After doing some research I found out others were also having this problem after fill up. In feb 2014 I read an article about a lifetime warranty on these and other lx platform chryslers on these tanks. Back to the dealership I go with this information and the local dealer put me on a waiting list. In sept. 2014 we were told we were next on the list for a new tank. It is now late october and still no tank. The dealership told me there were 2000 of these tanks on backorder and the would be distributed as they are built. Today I called the chrysler support line. The lady was very sympathetic. She called my dealer and somehow I went from next on the list to #3 on the list. I now feel that the bean counters think a lot of the cars will somehow go away and then so will the problem. A few stalled vehicles involved in lethal crashes caused by this stalling issue linked to the fuel shut off float sticking may be what it takes. We know that by only fueling the tank to 3/4 full we do not have the problem. If we should trade this vehicle the next owner needs to know that there is a lifetime warranty on the tank but there is no parts support.
After filling the gas tank, in phoenix, az, entering an intersection, the car stalled! We were almost hit by a car coming from another direction. It did this (stalling) many times. Scary! Apparently they issued an internal memo in june of 2013. In may, 2014 chrysler sent a letter to us extending the gas tank warranty to a lifetime coverage. They said it was the "fuel shut-off float, in the multifunction control valve sticks, which may result in the vehicle stalling after refueling." "simply contact your dealer to have the re pairs performed". Challenge is: the dealers do not have any fuel tanks. Glendale, ca chrysler has a waiting list of 2,276 yesterday, october 1, 2014. We are and have been #8 at hunter dodge in lancaster, ca since early may. We never fill the tank. It is too great a risk! Help please.
I was on the highway and the car completely power down and shut off. I was able to pull over to the side of the road waited a few mintues and restarted the car. The car is continuing to stall out. This is very dangerous this will happening at high speeds.
Shortly after I filled up my car it started stalling out. I was on the freeway and the car completely power down and shut off. I was able to pull over to the side of the road waited a few minutes and restarted the car. The car is continuing to stall out and I don't know what else to do. I have been to the dealership and they are not aware of what to do and just want me to bring it in an let it sit. But I need transportation that does not stall out and it is very dangerous my children were with me in the car when I lost power.
Vehicle stalls while driving. One night while slowing down from 70 MPH to 55 MPH vehicle hesitated but did not stall, check enginge light came on and went off. Next morning vehicle stalled while sitting at a stop sign, restarted and then stalled again after less then two blocks. Took it to mechanic he could not find anything wrong, vehicle drove fine for a few days, then stalled again. Called chrysler customer service and was instructed to take vehicle to dealer and tell them about x-53 warranty. Dealership checked vehicle and stated it was infact the fuel tank and would order the replacement. Told me I was in line to recevie a replacement but they only receive one replacment fuel tank every 14 business days. Car was driving fine for 2 weeks now it's stalling again, does not matter amount of gas in tank car stalls at different speeds and when coming to a stop. Contacted chrysler to see if there was anyway the shipping/ordering of tanks could be increased and this time they tell me my vehicle is not covered under the extended warranty and I had to pay out of pocket if I wanted to have the vehicle repaired. Can this case be re-opened to look at all chrysler 19 gallon fuel tanks not just the ones on the x53 extened warranty listing. Thanks
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300. Immediately after refueling the vehicle, the vehicle stalled without warning while idling at a traffic light. The vehicle restarted and resumed normal operation. The failure occurred several times. The dealer stated that the fuel tank multi-function control failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Stalled when passing another vehicle, died backing out of driveway into street and almost hit by another vehicle. Randomly dies at stop signs. I don't feel safe driving car.
I filled up the gas tank and shortly after entering the highway and accelerating the engine stalled on me in the middle of traffic. It took several attempts to restart. Since then it has stalled on me every time I fill up the gas tank so I have only been filling it 3/4 full and I have no problem. I found out there was a recall for the problem (pe13-016) and called chrysler but was told my VIN number was not covered even though it fit the exact criteria of the recall. Chrysler could not tell me why my vehicle was not covered.
After filling up the fuel tank, after approximately 30 seconds the engine shut down. It was hard to restart, but finally restarted. When pulling out fromt the fueling station, the car began to buck and jerk intermittently. When stopped at a red light, it stalled again. I restarted the car. When I proceeded when the light turned green, the car again stalled. This occured for the next 5-6 miles, then stopped occurring. This happened every time I refilled the fuel tank. Since ooa 15 december 2011, I cannot fill my fuel tank and have to stop it before the nozzle shuts if off. If I inadvertenly let it fill until the nozzle clicks off (doesn't matter the fueling pump/station), it will buck and stall for the next several miles until some of the fuel is burned off in the tank.
