Chrysler 300c 2005 will completely die upon filling tank with fuel. Will restart and die 1 or 2 more times then run fine. My concern is accident waiting to happen. Solution change gas tank which chrylser refuses to do without customer paying for it. I feel a recall is needed before someone it injured or possibly killed. Filed a complaint, have a case number nothing resolved. I feel a solution is necessary as soon as possible. Problem has occurred from time of purchase.
2005 Chrysler 300C fuel system complaints
Page 6 of 6: complaints 131 to 138 of 138, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Every time the car is refueld, it stalls. Also, it hestitates while driving for a few miles. The last time it happened, it also would not engage into drive. It took numerous shifts from park to drive to get it to engage.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the vehicle would stall without warning whenever he refueled. The failure occured consistently over a one year period. The contact stated that he added small amounts of fuel in increments which seemed to prevent the failure from recurring. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer for the failure but, the dealer was contacted and advised him to bring the vehicle in for diagnosis. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage is 56,000. Updated 04/12/11*lj updated 04/13/11
When I fill up the gas tank the car stalls after 1-2 minutes. Restart and stalls again. Goes on for first 10 miles after refill. This happens after every fill up. Only way to prevent is to fill tank at 80% or less. Checked the internet (chrysler 300c stalling) and I find several people reporting the exact same problem. Clearly a manufacturing problem that can lead to some serious accidents.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the vehicle would intermittently stall moments after being refueled. The failure occurred when the vehicle was refueled after having less than 1/2 a tank of gasoline, when driving at any speed and also when first starting the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired the VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 73,000 and the current mileage was 77,000.
After filling the gas tank the car will stall when driving. This happens for several miles and while in traffic. I have come close to getting into an accident on several occasions. I have looked on line and I am not the only person with this problem.
2005 chrysler 300c w/ 5.7l while driving @ approx 35mph, vehicle would drop out of gear as if in neutral, check eng light came on, setting p700 & p701 plus egr prob. If car was steered to safe area and turned off then re-started, prob would momentarily resolve itself becoming intermittent @ various speeds or atmospheric conditions. R&r of egr assembly and cleaning, then clearing of codes seems to have resolved the prob. Problem started on oct 16, 2010, repair performed on october 19, 2010 and has not returned. This could become an issue w/ other vehicles of same make & model, due to p701 is stating problem w/ transmission module.
Vehicle stalls repeatedly after fueling for approximately 35 miles and sometimes takes several attempts to restart. This is very dangerous and frightening because it is never known when or where the vehicle will leave you disabled. My car has stalled many, many times, on the road, at intersections, in the middle of intersection, at stop lights, on railroad tracks, on freeway on ramps and off ramps, parking lots, and anywhere else it so chooses. I talked to mechanics and I have done some research on this and it seems to be a problem with the flat top fuel tank design, requiring the fuel tank to be replaced, but I have yet to receive notice from the manufacturer about a recall. Please look into this matter because I am concerned about the safety of myself, my family, and other 300c owners. Please help and thank you for your time!
