After I refuel my car, it always smells like gas inside the cab. I recently looked to see where it is coming from, and found it on the passenger side back seat. The transfer pump has a puddle of gasoline on the back side of it. I did some research and found that other people who have this make and model car are also experiencing the same issue.
2005 Chrysler 300C fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 138, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Every time the vehicle is filled with gas, the engine stalls out no matter where it is being driven. Hyw or street/city road.
Gasoline smell inside cabin traced to the gas pump/sending unit located below the floor mat directly beneath the rear passenger-side seat. A 1/2" deep puddle of gas forms at the rear of the unit which reappears after being soaked up.
Takata recall . My 2005 chrysler 300c 5.7 started smelling like gas every time I filled up the tank.time past till I decided to take a look why it smelled like gas.furst thing to check was the fuel pupms.finding thst the passenger side had a budle of gas ontop of the fuel pump housing .I replaced the rubber gasket but that didnt help at all .so now I need to replace the fuer pump because it looks like it might have a crack somewhere .
This car has a problem every time its time to fill gas tank car is running fine once I'm done with the filling up and I am leaving the gasoline station the car stalls with no warning or anything it has happen every time I fuel up one time I came to a red light when it was time to go on green it shut off on me and did not want to turn on after like the 5th try. I have tried calling chrysler dealers but said my VIN number is not on the recall cars.
On my car when the gas tank is auto filled all the way, until it clicks, then it stalls out while driving and is very hard to restart since the vehicle has to come to a complete stop before you can attempt to restart.this has happened at least 10 times. The last time was while attempting to make a left hand turn onto route 29, within minutes of having left the gas station, and I lost control of my steering due to the fact that the car was not running any more. I was lucky I wasn't hit by another car when coasting it partly off the road. Since then, I have learned, as long as I don't fill the tank all the way full the stall outs don't happen.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. Immediately after the contact refueled the vehicle, it stalled several times before eventually operating normally. The contact indicated that the failure occurred regardless of the amount of fuel inside the fuel tank. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.
Car shuts off after filling, was just every once in a while starting 2 years ago, but now it shuts off after every fill up, and when it shuts off then there is no power steering. Will shut off as soon as I leave the gas station, and will continue every time I slow down, for approx.10 miles. After being rear ended in traffic at a stop light, due to I started to move and the car shut off, but the person behind me didn't realize my car quit and lightly hit me. I have learned that I can no longer fill up at any gas station, I have to fill up where I know I can just drive without slowing down for about 10 miles. The car will still shudder like it isn't getting gas, but have been able to keep it from shutting off totally and trying to avoid being rear ended again. I worry what damage is being done to the rest of my car when it shudders like that though. I see that there is a lot of other 2005 300c owners having this same problem, but no recall has happened yet. Hope the recall happens before someone gets killed due to this malfunction.
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..
This isn't the first time the car just shuts down when u fill the gas tank all the way up. I filled the tank and proceeded to drive and merge on to highway and without any lights or warning the car just shuts off on the highway while doing 65. I lost power and the vehicle is had to control. It took a second to start back up in the middle of the highway. This only happens when I fill the tank all the way up. It's an issue with the gas tank or a valve getting stuck open/closed in the tank. I filled the tank again and just waited at the gas station to see if it would happen again and it did. I waited about 2 minutes and the car shut off while sitting at the gas station.. I left the gas station as soon as I turned out of the gas station the vehicle shut off 2 more times. I have to either fill my tank to 3/4's a tank or purposely burn gas when on full to not have this happen again.
This car will stall at completely random intervals. It has done it at speed, on acceleration, on deceleration, at stops. Occasionally the cruise control will not function correctly. The car will also spit, sputter and buck at speeds above 35mph. When this happens, there is a total loss of power steering, brakes, etc. In order to restart the car, it requires being placed into neutral or park, and trying at least 3 times before engine will run again. The car will usually continue to stall 3-10 times. On returning to "drive" the car will usually stay stationary for another 5-10 seconds before surging forward. Reverse does not have this effect. Car has been checked by several mechanics, who can pull no codes, and don't seem to have any clue what is causing the intermittent issue. It is very dangerous situation, as there is no warning the car is about to stall, and there is no pattern to when it will stall. In googling the issue, I was able to find the chrysler campaign x53 extended warranty on "some" 2006 300cs, but when I called the chrysler dealer to check my VIN, I was told my car is not covered under this known defective gas tank. The message boards have many instances of people describing this exact issue for this exact car. This a seriously life threatening issue.
Engine stalls after fill up. Usually stalls 3 times at low speeds. Could be dangerous if it stalled when merging into traffic.
Car stalls after filling gas tank, this happens while leaving filling station and pulling into traffic and has happened on several occasions.
Car dies after fueling. It will sputter then die, it will also die while coming to a stop. After refueling it sputters and dies at gas station but it can happen within the next couple of miles. It will die while pulling out in traffic and extremely dangerous. Reading on line this is a common problem and no one can figure it out. It also will not always go back into gear after it dies.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted. The contact stated that the failure recurred after the vehicle was refueled. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and they agreed to replace the gas tank. The failure mileage was 125,000. Updated 08/30/16*lj updated 10/26/16.
When I fill the gas tank the car stops and loses all power. This happens a few times until I use some gas. This is very dangerous problem. I almost got rear ended a few times.
After filling up with fuel on take off from stop light twice car died while driving away from light into traffic, then again after stopping car to restart it. Then 2 minutes later making a left turn car made a ding noice and died again!!
Stalling after fill up and under acceleration. Car stalls out and all power systems fail within minutes after refueling to a full tank. Car is in motion at any speed and has nearly caused two rear end crashes from cars behind it when it suddenly stops and the power steering and brakes and electrical systems shut off. This also happens during acceleration at 1700 RPM at any time. Car is always in motion. Car can be restarted again within a few seconds to 5 minutes later. Problem started at 130,000 miles. Possible issue with the gas tank, fuel line, filter or stuck valve. Mechanics say there is no fix and to not fill up the gas tank.
My 2005 300c stalls while in motion and when stopped at a traffic signal after filling up the gas tank, and is exhibiting problems similar to those described in your pe13016 report which covers a recall of 2006 chrysler 300cs which have the same 19 gallon tank as my car. This is a dangerous condition that continues to occur. How can I get the car repaired (which it sounds like involves fuel tank replacement) by fiat chrysler at no charge to me? Please respond, thank you
I got fuel in my vehicle approx. 3/4 of a tank after fueling my vehicle stalled when I tried to drive it. I have previously replaced the purge solenoid, the PCM, and the egr valve. The vehicle continues to have multiple problems and has left me stranded more times than I can count.
On several occasions, after fully filling the gas tank, the car will completely shut down while either at idle, or at low speed. The first time it happened, it gave a check engine" light with a fault code to check the fuel cap. On further inspection, the fuel cap was properly seated. Now, when this problem occurs, it no longer gives the "check engine" light indication. The problem does not occur when the fuel tank is less than completely full. The problem is identical to the problem the federal safety agency investigated in 2006 chrysler 300s resulting in chrysler extending the fuel tank warranty to lifetime coverage. This is a dangerous problem, as when the car dies, all power is lost to the car to include steering and braking. Typically this occurs at a stop light, but could happen in a much more dangerous position.
After filling up with gas the car will stall repeatedly for several miles. It then runs normally until the next fill up. I recently bought the car for my son who just turned 16. The first time it happened was the first time he filled up while driving alone. Needless to say he had no idea what to do. Luckily he was able to pull off the state highway he was driving on (3 lanes each direction) before it totally stopped. The power steering shut off so he had a very difficult time even turning off the main road. It now has done the same thing for the last 3 fill ups which were all at different gas stations to rule out bad gas at a particular station. This seems to be a very dangerous issue that should be addressed.
After filling fuel tank: vehicle stalled twice while driving. Difficult restarts. This occurred on two occasions. At the second occasion, after filling, I could hear prolonged "gurgling" sound from fuel tank filler neck. I am convinced that this issue has something to do with the fuel tank venting system - perhaps a clogged vent tube.
After refueling, vehicle will start moving and then engine "chokes out and cuts off . Acting as if I just put in bad fuel. I can sit and ideal and it will run just fine, I can race the engine and there is not problem. However, when I put it in drive, just as it seems to becoming out of 1st gear it chokes out and the engine shuts off. I accelerated to merge onto interstate highway, just after filling the tank, the engine chokes out and cuts off and my family was almost hit by a tractor trailer. Each time engine cuts off I loose brake and steering function. This is happening all the time now, when I fill the tank. I have been told there is no recall but many reports to chrysler service.
The car stalls while coming to a stop or when sitting at a red light. In a few minutes the car will start and drive just fine until the same thing occurs again
Filled the car with gas and the car died within 5 minutes of the gas station. Restarted the car and had the same thing happen two more times. This has since happened after ever fill up since. We bought this vehicle may 1st 2015. The issues with it dying started happening the very first fill up. We just figured it was a vapor lock but after reading the compliants, oviously not. This needs to be recalled as someone is going to hurt.
My wife was taking our two kids to school when the car made a horrible noise when first trying to start the car early in the morning. I had it towed to my mechanic where he found that the cylinder valve seat fell off the cylinder head and fell down into the piston causing severe damage to the valves and piston. Replacing the engine for $8000 was an option, however you are replacing it with the same type of engine that could potentially replicate the problem again. After researching this seems to be a manufactures defect of this engine for 2005-2006 chrysler 300 c. This happened 4 months after my warranty expired.
Car stalls after filling car up with gas.
After refueling, engine stops running at low speed or idle. Engine restarts immediately. After several miles and 4 or 5 restarts engine runs smoothly. Dangerous because of loss of acceleration, steering and braking.
Similar to many other people's issues. I get fuel and then while driving the car will stall. Happens for a few days after I get gas not even a completely full tank. It becomes a very unsafe condition because I loose power steering and power brakes when it stalls. Why is chrysler not doing anything about this as it clearly is a safety issue that they must be aware of.
