Steering binds and has to manually turned to bring the spring loaded steering back to center position after making left or right turns and while driving. Power steering pump appears to be functioning properly, but the steering wheel still binds up when driving on roadways and when attempting to park in parking spaces.

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.

This issue has happened to me multiple times. I am just driving down the road and the engine stalls. When this happens I loose my power steering and have to try to get to the side of the road. Once I put the car in park and turn it off it will then restart. This has happened at speeds from10-70. The second issue is sometimes the car lunges forward on its own or accelerates much more than what I am pressing the gas pedal. I have talked to other owners of these cars and we all seem to be having the same problems but when we take it to mechanics since it doesn't happen when they test drive it they can't tell us what's wrong. I have had some very close calls with these issues and came very close to being involved in accidents. I am sure there have been accidents caused by these same issues but it might not have been traced back to the car, it was probably thought that it was driver error.

After filling up my car with gas the car stalls. This has happened several times after filling up and is a safety concern. The car stalls when driving at any speed. Car restarts but if on highway all power is lost - safety concern.

I purchased this 2005 chrysler 300c on november 20, 2013 from hoover chrysler dealership and ever since then the car has been stalling out every time I get gas and I do not over fill my tank but do fill it up to almost full. Anyways this problem can cause serious injuries I've had it stall out on the highway and all going at high speeds. I can't believe that this car is doing this I traded my 2010 dodge charger sxt which wasn't the hemi for a hemi and feel like I got a worst engine. Anyways I really hope this problem is fixed by chrysler I've spent alot on repairs and this isn't fair that the buyer has to deal with this type of problem I've owned plenty of cars and never have had this happen so obviously chrysler is responsible!

Every time the tank is filled to full this vehicle stalls. At 3/4 fill it does not occur. In light of the chevy cobalt tragedy perhaps a proper investigation into this defect will commence. This isn't a nuisance "temporary glitch" issue, because whenever a car loses power unexpectedly it should not be considered a nuisance issue. I experienced an engine stall at a high rate of speed entering a freeway just after fueling and my car lost all power. Half-baked suggestions like don't fill the tank full are silly. This is a serious issue that requires a specific repair recommendation.

Car stalls about 1 mile after filling up with gas. Has stalled going low and high speeds, leaving me with very little control of the vehicle .a mechanic recommended that I fill up before its under half full but that doesn't seem to help any. Now I fill up before I go into a nearby grocery store and afterwards I start the car a few times and it seems to prevent it from stalling. Last week my husband decided to drive it to work (long drive) and didn't take my advice during fill up and it stalled shortly after getting on the highway.

I had just completed a fuel fill-up and upon driving away from the pump the engine died, losing all power. With 3-4 attempted restarts the car moved for short distances and repeatedly died. When it did restart, the engine would not engage in drive. Eventually, the car would run normally and would continue to run until the next fill up. The latest incident (after 3 incidents) occurred feb 4, 2014. After my mechanic was able to duplicate the incident on feb 7 and discovered that this problem has occurred multiple times to other vehicles. Chrysler corp should have issued a recall in my opinion.
