Filed Dec 5, 2017 · Fuel system · 160,000 miles · MD

I am experiencing stall outs after fueling my car up.I entered the highway and the car stalled out while traffic is burling on top of me and I immediately put the vehicle in neutral and restarted the vehicle which didn't start right away and nearly created an rear end collision of my vehicle.after it started the car stalled again and started jerking before it stalled again..this is definitely a heart stopping experience and I am unaware if chrysler has a recall about this terrifying situation..I've purchased this vehicle new 10/2004 and never experienced this problem until the spring of 2017 ..my vehicle now has 167,000 plus miles and I'm very concerned about this existing fuel problem which can cause a major accident which I have almost became a victim..

Takata recall , so I take care of my chrysler 300c 5.7 very well I always check the fluids on the coolent and oil and change my oil when its needed. I was running out of gas on the freeway barely making it to the gas station and I filled up my gas tank, when I tried to starting my car it didnt start. My car just hesitated and I thought my battery was going out but it was a brand new one and my fuel pump was changed a few months prior. Also I took my car to get serviced a week prior too at my local pepboys and changed the oil pressure sensor at least thats what they told me what it was. So my car started in the gas station parkinglot and white smoke came out of my exhaust and my car just turned off on me. My car is sitting now collecting dust because it dropped a valve due to the 2005 5.7 hemi design. I believe dodge and chrysler know about this malfunction thats bond to happen whether you take care of your engine or not. I deserve to have a recall on my car , im almost done paying it off and its not my fault this happened to me.

It began when I started pumping gas after it reach like 10 gallons of fuel the clicker will stop as if it was full tank already but still needed a long way to fill up so I automatically began to pump gas and it kept clicking and clicking it didn't want to keep pumping so I stop as I began driving the car began to pulled it self hard like if it was running out of gas check engine and the esp bas light when on started to smell like gas got me worried when on it kept doing it so I took it in to the dealer and they told me it was the egr valve ,thermostat and spark plugs needed to be repair I asked if their was a recall because I have received a later stating that something that's has to do with the gas tank,he looked it up and he said no. I did the labor that needed to be done to car it was ok for couple hrs then it began to do the same thing lunging then car stalled try to restarted it wouldn't go on waited couple mins tried again and it wouldn't start gave it a lil longer time then try to turn it on again and it finally started after multiple times I really need to fix it I find it dangerous..

After refueling I pulled up to a stop light. I was turning right. I stopped because the light was red. A car was traveling in the direction I was headed, but was about hundred yards away. I made the right turn and immediately my car began to chug then just stalled out. I was dead in the street. I attempted to start the car to avoid a near collision, but it would not start. The car that I had pulled in front of eventually made it to where I was at and swerved to avoid the collision. After several (3) attempts at starting the vehicle; it started. When I came to a complete stop at the next stop light it happened again. Chugging then stalled out. This time im getting honked at by the people behind me to go at the green light. I ended up holding traffic up until the next green light. I contacted chrysler and let them know about the issue to see if any recalls existed on what seemed to be a recurring issue with 2005-2006 300c models. Chrysler said they were aware of the issue, but because the vehicle is out of warranty I would have to pay full price for the tank removal and replacement. The estimate was over $1200. I expressed my safety concern, but was again told there was nothing they could do. I am late on the reporting because I did not know of the federal safety agency until a coworker mentioned it.

After filling my car at a service station until the first time the fuel pump clicked off I attempted to leave the service station and after driving approximately one mile my car stalled in traffic and would not start for about 3 to 4 attempts. If traffic would have been heavier there would have been an accident as I lost total control of the car from steering to braking when the engine shut-off. After running rough for several miles and several more stalls the problem fixed itself. This now occurs after everytime I service my car with fuel and has become a ritual unless I take the time to calculate the estimated fuel remaining in the tank and subtract it from the total capacity then only add enough fuel to take me up to two gallons from full. Didn't realize I needed to be a math wizard to own a chrysler 300c. Now that I know this is a repeatable problem I must tell anyone who I loan my car to or they could face a potential accident since this has not been publicly acknowledged by chrysler as a recurring and predictable problem. It should be noted that I have been the only owner of this car bought new in may 2004 and it has been maintained to manufacturer's specifications. *ln

This problem only after fill the gas tank. After pulling away from the pump and pulling into traffic the car died and won't start until you put in park. This happens until some of the fuel has been used up. I would have it happen make it home. Then the next time I drive it the car will die until its been driven enough to use up some fuel. This dangerous because it happen as you slow down or start up. I have had it die while turning and lose all controls because it dies! The only way to combat this is to not fill the tank. That works if I drive the car but my family members forget that and have lost control also! This has been going on for 3 years! Dangerous.
