Filled up tank at local gas station.. After starting, the engine stalled out at the gas station. Restarted the engine and headed home, which is one block from the station. Pulled into driveway and the engine stalled again. Momentum carried me under the carport. Restarted engine 5 more times. Each time it stalled out. Had to find alternate transportation for out of town trip. Cannot safely drive this vehicle with this continued issue. 300c.

Filled gas tank at station. Drove .25 mile and vehicle stalled while accelerating from a stop light. Stalled 3 more times within the next mile. I parked car and shut it off. Restarted 30 minutes later and drove about 1.5 miles and it stalled again while pulling into a parking lot. No problems until I filled up at a different gas station 5 days later. It stalled again after pulling out of the station. It always starts right up.

Engine stalls and dies frequently at idle and road speed after fill-up.
The chrysler dies after filling the gas tank. It may die several times for a few miles. Usually at slow speed or at take off.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300. The contact stated that gasoline was entering into the engine. The mechanic stated that the entire fuel tank would need to be replaced, in addition to several other unknown repairs. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000.
Not able to fill gas tank to full. If filled to full mark or allowed for gas station pump to automatically shut off at full. The vehicle will stall after a few blocks.this will happen 3-5 times before you can continue.this can happen at different speeds and is very dangerous.this started early 2012 and will do this at every full fill up. It has happened more than 15 times. I can not have a full tank anymore. I have owned the vehicle since 2010 and had 30k miles on it. It never had the problem till 2011 or about 60k miles.
I bought the 2006 chrysler 300c new in 2007 and it worked fine until mid 2013. One day after getting off the freeway I pulled into a gas station and filled the car with gas. In about 1-2 minutes after leaving the station the car bucked then stalled. It took several attempts to get it started. This situation has happened over and over again. It came to a head this week when I went to the gas station filled the tank and soon after leaving it stalled in traffic -I restarted it after almost causing an accident got going and it stalled again. I restarted with great difficulty and entered the on ramp----as I was building speed it stalled for the third time in less than 5 minutes and this time I was so close to an accident. Now I have been to two dealerships and replaced numerous parts including the canister, some oil temp/pressure sensor, cleaned injectors,replaced plugs, a coil and too many to mention. The people at the dealership look at me like I am smoking crack ever time I complain. It wasn't until yesterday that I looked on the internet to find there are others with the same problem---I am not crazy. How do I get this fixed???
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300 c. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, the vehicle would stall. The failure was sporadic. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer, who removed and flushed the fuel tank but to no avail. The dealer stated the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The contact did not replace have the fuel tank replaced. The failure mileage was 11,338. Updated 04/22/14 ma
Had just filled the vehicle with gas. It cut off in traffic several times that day. This has continued since. Has almost been regular for the past few months.
Chrysler 300c srt8 2006 stalls after refueling. This has been dangerous for me since I'm just making the connection between the unexpected stalling in intersections and refueling. The car will 'buck' unexpectedly and the stall. I was able to restart but it continues stall for some time after the refueling. I understand an investigation is underway for this issue. Please add my complaint to the pile.
After filling up at the gas station the car will stall at various speeds for approximately 2-6 miles. This is very dangerous depending on the driving conditions. After that it runs fine.
When the chrysler 300 hemi 2006 receives a full tank of gas, the chrysler 300 hemi 2006 shuts off after the initial start of the engine and an additional two to three times. After several starts of the engine, the chrysler 300 hemi 2006 begins to move, but stalls and chokes while in motion. During the stalling and choking the chrysler 300 hemi 2006 looses steering ability.
I was driving back home from atlanta and I stopped to fill up in macon. As I drove up the entrance ramp to I-75 the car stalled leaving me partially on the hi-way. A semi narrowly avoided rear ending me. After a few seconds the car started and I drove away. This is the 3rd time this has happened. A mechanic told me this is common on this type of car and the only fix is a new gas tank, which is very expensive.
After every fuel fillup, my chrysler 300c stalls out completely. This has been a serious issue with my chrysler 300c for a couple of months. In addition, the car stalls right after I leave the gas station and pull into traffic.
My car (300c awd) stalls after fill up. This has happened several times on a trip from california to georgia. I was filling the car three times a day. Moving from the fuel island to the interstate on-ramp the car will die making brakes and steering lose power as well. The car will restart and function correctly until the next fill up or it may stall once or twice again. The condition does not happen when stopping with out filling. I was able to shift into neutral and restart while rolling but this could be difficult in white knuckle situations. There is another condition that may or may not be related: some times when starting to fill up, the gas pump nozzle shuts off due to "splash back" in the car's filler tube. I can remedy this by repositioning the pump nozzle to one side or the other. Once started, I can complete filling the car. My mechanic was at a loss with solving this problem.
Every time we get the car filled with gas it stalls until we drive and restart it for 2 or 3 miles. It is very dangerous and I am afraid that there will be someone that runs into me during one of the stalls. I replaced the gas cap but that did not help the problem. I went on line and now see that it is a very common problem. There should be a recall by chrysler to immediately correct this very serious problem!!!
After refueling the vehicle has started stalling. It stalls on and off until the tank is below 3/4 of a tank. It happens 9 out of 10 times.
After filling up with gas at the same place I always do I began to drive home at the first light I was fine at the 2nd light the car stalled I put it n and started the car up and drove home about 1 block. In the morning I started the car up to go to work it ran fine for the first 2 blocks the stalled again. I started it up again and drove to work. I was terrified. After getting it home I thought I would drive it around the neighborhood for a few days to be safe and not go on the freeway. It still hesitated and felt like it wasn't running right. Still wanting to stall. I then parked it for fear of being on the road and it stalling and someone running into me and killing me. With this many complaints about the same thing why is there not a recall on this problem. Are they waiting for someone to be killed first. I did love this car but cant drive something this unsafe....help
I will fill up with premium gas ,pull out of the station,car then stalls and bucks. This has happened numerous times.
Vehicle stalling shortly after fill up. Problem accrues using different filling stations. Fuel tank was not "toped off". Has happened multiple times. After fill up, starts and runs fine for a short time. Seams to straiten out after fuel dopes in tank. Restarting can be hard.
After filling up at a gas station, when we started to accelerate, the car stalled. It was hard to start again and it stalled a couple more times. This has happened many times since then and it seems to be getting worse. It is harder to start and it is taking a little time to go into gear. On my way home from work last week, it was raining and when it stalled I almost got hit by the car behind me. I called my local dealer and he told me that I can bring it in and have it diagnosed, but if it isn't doing it when I bring it in, that there is nothing they can do about it. He also told me that he is not aware of any known problems.
Everytime the car was filled up, it stalls a few times. This had been happening a lot during this pst year and still currently happens. Luckily I was able to pull over when the car stalled, otherwise it will create accident. This is dangerous when driving on the crowded traffic. After it stalls couple times, the engine got clogged and it is difficult to start(this was the same time-dame day after filling up the tank). I brought it to the mechanic and he said he can't find anything since at the time he got the car to check, it doesn't stall.
Car stalls after refueling. Difficult to restart and leaves you in a very dangerous situation. We've had it completely stall going 70 MPH down the interstate and almost was involved in an accident while limping to the shoulder. Too dangerous to re-merge after car finally restarts because it will hesitate and misfire or stall again. This will happen about every 2 months with no symptoms between incidents. Also seems to happen more in hotter weather.
We purchased this auto showroom new from the dealer in 2006. Although breaking was questionable, we accepted when told the system was fine and the jerking was normal. However, since april 2008 this vehicle has stalled off and on at the most unsafe times. The dealers have not been able to duplicate the problem so they will not repair it. We had a new factory engine installed ($7,000) in 2012 and guess what? This new engine has started stalling. All our work has been completed at a dealership so chrysler can't claim that an auto shop might have done something wrong to the vehicle. After viewing all the same complaints and having it happen to my wife and I, why haven't you or chrysler taken care of the problem? Dokkkkkkkkkkkk
The first time it happened I was sitting at a red light waiting to turn left. The car just stalled. I restarted without difficulty. It was a few days after when it happened again. It has probably happened about 7 times more since then, every time while I was idling with my foot on the brake. Each time it restarted on the first try. However for the first time today the car stalled while in drive going about 15 MPH.
After filling my tank with gas ( I do not overfill ) I turn my gas cap at least 1/2 turn start the car put it in gear and start driving. After a minute or so the car stalls. I have to stop put it in park turn key to off position and re-start the car. This has happened to me while in an intersection , while making a turn and if your not strong enough to turn the wheel because the power steering pump quit your in trouble big trouble. This stalling happens 2 to 3 times after filling the tank than stops until the next fuel stop. This is a safety issue. You never know exactly when your going to stall but you know it's coming and hope your not crossing traffic or in an intersection. Very dangerous ! I have told my dealership of the problem when this started but no action was ever taken. Wilde chrysler in waukesha wi.
After filling up my fuel tank I would notice the engine stall. This is very dangerous especially when I'm crossing an intersection or getting on a freeway.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred whenever he filled the fuel tank beyond capacity the vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who advised the contact not to overfill the fuel tank. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 71,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
Fueled the vehicle, attendant "topped it off". Started vehicle and it sputtered, running poorly as if it had a fuel issue. Smelt fuel from under the hood. Let vehicle set for 10 minutes, started up vehicle and proceeded to a 4-lane main highway. Just as we accelerated from the stop light, the car sputtered, then died. I managed to pull over to the side of the road out of traffic. Let the unit set for 10 minutes, ran the vehicle and no further issues that day. At the next fill up, the same pattern emerged. A third incident occurred a few months later and I researched the problem. Since that time I have cautioned the fuel attendants to not "top it off" and the issue has not reoccurred.
