Hello, my name is [XXX] , and my car continues to have the same problem for more than 5 years that it has been in my possession, after refilling the car completely with fuel, the car automatically turns off and this happens at a traffic light or anywhere, this is very dangerous since I interfere with traffic, please I do not know what to do to solve it, in many forums there are many 2005 Chrysler vehicles that have the same problem from the factory, please I need help. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Fuel sending unit cracks which lets raw fuel pool directly under backseat.
The fuel sending unit is poorly manufactured and cracks and leaks raw fuel directly under the back seat.
The fuel tank gasket failed. When fuel car to full the gas seeps out and puddles on top of access area under rear passenger seats and fills car with gas fumes. Only seeps out when you fill car to full
When the fuel tank is topped off the vehicle stalls 2-6 times until the excess fuel is burned off. This has happened on the road, in parking lots, intersections, etc. It causes total loss of power & power steering. Additionally, I usually have to shift to Park, Neutral, Reverse, Drive, Reverse, and then drive again in order to get the transmission to lock back in forward gearing. Causing me to have to additionally pull over, or stop, when/wherever the incident occurs.
Car keeps stalling after I fill it up while driving and sometimes while in park
Gas tank hairline crack on fuel pump and bad gaskets.
Every time I fill my gas tank up the car oil light comes on and it stalls. Sometimes it does this 2 or 3 times then it runs ok until its time to fill car up again, then the same thing happens.
When refueling my chrysler 300c back to full capacity it will immediately stall out and shut off completely. The car will start right up again no problem, and continue to stall out while driving in traffic multiple times following until it burns off enough fuel to stop. I also have been smelling raw gasoline inside and outside the vehicle and the problem varies. The odor is highly potent coming from the passenger side rear. Never witnessed any fluid leaking underneath the car or noticeably in fuel tank gauge until this morning, it was leaking out from the trim panel underneath the rear passenger side .
