Everytime I fill the gas tank the car stalls out several times and then stalls when deceleration and turning.
2006 Chrysler 300C fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 13: complaints 11 to 40 of 342, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gas puddles inside under rear seat causing strong smell of gas in cabin. Replaced oring gasket however that was not the problem and did not fix the issue. Still have not confirmed where the leak is coming from....it could be the plastic line, plastic nipple that the line connects too, or the plastic housing fuel transfer pump. Still unsure where it's leaking lots of gas.
Car will shut off randomly after filling my tank up I've only had this vehicle for a few months I wasn't aware of this was going on a road trip with my kids I filled my tank up got on the highway was driving on middle lane normal driving an with out warning my cars dash lights come on an car shuts of instantly pulled over turned the key to off position an the car start right away
When fuel tank is filled beyond 3/4 of a tank the engine stalls. I've been in many scary situations where this happened. I bought a new car because I was scared to drive this one. Upon learning there was an issue I contacted my local dealer who said a new fuel tank would be ordered and I would be contacted the next week to have it installed. 2 weeks later I contacted them and was told they had to diagnose the problem. After discussing the issue the dealer assured the tank was being ordered. Hopefully the problem will be fixed with the replacement tank - it remains to be seen. Why is this not a recall? It is a safety issue when a car stalls while being driven. Age of the vehicle should not be a factor - this car only has 66,000 miles. I am the original owner
My Chrysler 2006 300 C smells of heavy oder of fuel inside occupant seating area. upon investigation, found the fuel pump situated behind driver, under back seat, and the modulator is situated behind passenger seat. both fuel and assembly are exposed to occupants, leaking and accumulating pools of fuel. there is no safety barrier between the fuel and occupants! this is a critical DESIGN FAILURE for occupant safety!!! The modulator is made of plastic and exposed to caustic chemicals (fuel) which causes premature corrosive damage exposing all occupants of vehicle to multiple health risks including DEATH!! This vehicle needs to be recalled!!! and not only fix the issue with leaking fuel, the vehicle needs a fire proof barrier between the fuel system and the occupants.
When filling the gas tank to completely full, the engine will die without any warning. Does not happen when the tank is partially filled. Several times after completely filing gas tank, a couple hundred yards from gas station, car suddenly dies. Starts right up again and after driving a few more yards it dies again. It died on me about 5 times in a row. Could be deadly when pulling out into traffic.
Vehicle stalls after refueling. Used to be an annoyance, now dangerous. Driven 78000 miles like this. Heard about and have Netscape recall and Chrysler lifetime guarantee to replace known problem. It includes canister, valve, gas cap etc but they and Chrysler rep say they know nothing about it even though I gave them your and their own letter to us.
Fuel vapor was leaking into our car through air vents and from fuel pump itself. It caused the car to fail and not start. Had to replace fuel pump, yet same thing keeps happening. Now gasoline leaks from the outside underneath the car (when driving, or parked but with car turned over) where the fuel pump is non stop.
Cut off when tank full of gas can't put but 3/4 of a tank in it when are going slow it stalls out
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300. The contact stated that there was a strong gasoline odor throughout the vehicle upon fill-up. The contact also stated that the vehicle shut-off while driving at various speeds, without warning whenever the fuel tank was at full capacity. The contact took the vehicle to freedom chrysler dodge jeep ram by ed morse (815 e camp wisdom rd, duncanville, tx 75116) where the mechanic was unable to duplicate or diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified of failure and referred her back to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
7/11-5/12, I took my 2006 300c hemi into my dealership for my car stalling after I have driven it past 1/4 tank then fill it up. I was told different repairs was causing the issue. On 5/4/12 I got an answer it was my fuel tank. My warranty ran out 12/10 the dealer wanted $1500 to replace the tank. I contacted chry corp explained what I had been dealing for the last 10 mos. I didn't have money to repair. Chry offered to help had me pay a deductible of $245. My mileage was about 57,000. I was thankful for chrysler helping me out. In 2013 there was a recall on the fuel tank. I called chry corp again and they said yes it is a recall & offered to refund me back for the deductible I paid. Now in 2020 my car is doing the exact thing, (125k mi) wanting to stall/does stall after I ran past 1/4 tank, then fill it up. I took my car to my private mechanic, he told me this is a recall take it to the dealership. I called the dealership, they said my VIN # was not on the list. I called chry corp explained what I was experiencing. They told me they do not take 3rd party diagnosis, I needed to take it to a certified chry dealer. I did and they confirmed it was my fuel tank! Chrysler corp said there's nothing they could do for me my VIN# does not qualify, besides the warranty expired! On the forums I read said this recall is a lifetime recall. I sent my work orders to both dealer & corporate and the dealership said my fuel tank was never replaced just fuel pump. All these years I never let gas tank get lower than 3/4 tank, it was a habit from my prior problems. Until 9/14/20 I ran my gas past 1/4 tank and filled up. As soon as I was driving on side streets when I would come to a stop at a signal and start to go. My car would do the exact same thing as 2011-2012! Sending all my info I was still denied by chrysler to fix fuel tank recall!! Please help, to repair now it's $2500!!!
The fuel tank leaks fuel into the cabin amy any time the tank is filled more than half way up; that or any time it is more than a quarter full and driven on a steep hill. This has been happening for about 7 or 8 years or more now...it started in around 2012 I think, when the car had just over 100,000 miles on it. I am never able to fill up my gas tank because of it. , and if I need to go up or down a steep hill (and there are steep hills and driveways all over the area I live in), the fuel leaks into the car and the fumes are very strong.
My car stalls 3 to 4 times when filling up the fuel tank went to lake wales chrysler dealership located at 21529 us-27 lake wales,florida 33859 tel# 863‑676‑0733 to get the shutoff float and valve and fuel tank replaced just like the federal safety agency recommends it's been 4 months and nothing is happening

When I fuel my car to full I start to drive and it stalls and will not restart. I brought it to the dealer and they said it is due to a faulty gas tank which is covered under a lifetime warranty extension u.s. D-14-05. They also said that it is possible that when they remove and replace the tank that the exhaust flex pipes could break which would require them to have to replace the pipes and the catalytic converters they are attached to. The estimated cost of this would be $3,300 and they would not cover this cost. This would mean that through no fault of my own if the warranty work is done and the dealership breaks the flex pipes I would be required to pay for the repair of those pipes and related parts. This is ridiculous, why would I have to pay for parts, which are fine now, but could be broken by the dealership when they do the warranty work? If you are going to extend a lifetime warranty on this defective part then why would you not cover the work and labor necessary to fix the problem especially if there are parts broken by the dealership when doing the work? There should be an additional cost coverage for all work done that is necessary to fix the problem not just the part and work to replace it as long as everything goes perfectly. If parts are broken by an authorized dealership when doing warranty work then those parts and the labor to replace them should also be covered. I am attaching the invoice from the dealership so that you can see the problem in their words. This is unacceptable! Why would anyone have warranty work done if there are any other problems caused by the warranty work that are not covered. It does not say that these pipes are defective or worn it just says that they might break when doing the covered warranty work.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while reversing, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was taken to bud clary auburn chrysler dodge jeep ram (2925 auburn way n, auburn, wa 98002) where the contact was informed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 155,000.
Vehicle stalls when moving at low speeds after filling up the gas tank. The fuel shutoff float in the fuel tank is stuck open, causing an overfill condition.
Car continuously dies or stalls while driving. My wife has also been almost rear ended or hit multiple times due to this issue. Because the car will die while making a turn or at a stop light. The car will also cut out while driving on the freeway at 75 MPH. The car will sometimes die and will not re-start leaving her stuck in traffic. I have taken the vehicle multiple times to the dealership as well as other mechanics and they keep telling me its the PCM which has been replace three times.
Car will cut off all system and stop when driving ,I fear car behind will run into me causing serous injuries and death.car will stop in motion, city street highway it dosents matter .car has less then 40000.m
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. On several occasions, after the vehicle was refueled, it stalled. There was no warning prior to the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Harry blackwell dodge chrysler jeep ram (1660 business 60 west, dexter, mo 63841) was contacted by phone at (866) 980-9548. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
The engine dies 4 to 5 times on the road after filling up the tank, it happens if I take my foot off the gas pedal to slow down or to stop, it is stressful when you loos control of the car on the streets especially if you are turning on a corner. It started on july 1918 and it has happened for the 15 times that I had filled up the car with gas with no exceptions. I keep records of dates, my mileage and used gas.
After filling this vehicle with fuel as you drive down the road it will just stall in traffic. It takes quite a few tries to get it running again. Up to 10 times. This is very dangerous as this will happen in intersections or turning in traffic with no warning. It happens while in motion and when it shuts off there is limited steering and brakes.
Car shuts down after getting a full tank at gas station at least 2 times
2006 chrysler 300c. Consumer writes in regard to vehicle stalling and malfunctioning PCM module. *as
Engine completely shut off as exiting freeway and was nearly hit by 2 cars. Managed to get home by driving streets and staying in righthand lane. Shut off twice but pulled to side of rode. It took approximately 4 seconds for ignition to engage. It is in garage and I am afraid for my life to drive it. I am [xxx] years old and will not give up on this because it is a danger to ones life. I went online to airpark chrysler and texted with a nicole on february 15, 2019 and she said someone from in the service department would get back with me and no one has. Please help me with this dangerous problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Once the vehicle has a full tank of gas, it'll stall or shut off when driving. When stopped, it'll rev itself as well.
The smell of gas fumes inside the car! It was bothering my throat with the A/C on!! Went on-line to check if other owners had a similar complaint. Sure enough, found gas puddling underneath the rear seat behind the passenger side on the gas sending unit!!!
2006, chrysler, 300c starboard fuel pump leaking from the plastic housing. I changed the o-ring and it still leaks gas. The gas puddles on top of the plastic gas pump housing. Fumes accumulate in the passenger area and outside near the bottom of the car. This happens when the gas tank is above 1/2 full. It doesn't matter if the car is driving, running or the engine off.
I filled my car up and within 5 miles it stalled. This has happened several times. Each time if I pull some fluid from the tank the car will remain running.
2006 chrysler 300c dies several times after refueling, which obviously disables the power steering. This will happen up to 10 times and then the car will run properly until the next refueling. This has been going on for over 18 months.
