Vehicle stall with every fuel fill up. This has been happening for about a year now. Scared to drive the vehicle anymore.
2006 Chrysler 300C fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 13: complaints 41 to 70 of 342, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Every time I fill up my gas tank my 2006 chrysler 300c ends up turning off at any stop, red light, or when I am slowing down. I always end up stopping traffic because of it. The vehicle ends up turning back on after a few times of trying to turn it on. I have had people make scenes at my window due to this. I have read online blogs of chrysler owners that have the same problem. They go to the dealer and replace the fuel tank. I have called auto parts stores and the fuel tank is pretty pricey. There are many more complaints on 300cforums.com
Initially the vehicle began to shut off and restart at various speeds ranging from 45-65 MPH, mileage on the vehicle when the problem surfaced was approx .138,000. In 2016 after replacement of the PCM ,fuel tank, alternator, solenoid, battery, and cam shaft sensor the problem sporadically reoccurred every 300 miles, and failure has increased in frequency and now occurs regularly but sporadically at low speeds of 1-20 causing a full stall with no restart. The failure is typically at a light and when tempting aa turn. It has been observed during the high speed incidents,all electrical systems are in failure- dash lights go off, the analog RPM and speedometer gauges spontaneously drop to zero, and then the entire system restarts and gauges resume normal readings, all occurring within a few seconds at most. Additionally the vehicle will not start after sitting for 3 hours, the electrical works but engine will not turn over. After each incident car was taken for a diagnostic reading and either no fault code was registered, or an engine communication failure code occurs. This has been an on going issue for the past 2 years.
My srt8 will stall shortly after filling up with fuel. At the moment of stalling, obviously the power steering and power brakes fail to work, which is very dangerous irregardless of where you are....
After each fuel fill up, the car's engine dies.
On mulitple occasions over the last year and a half that I've owned the car it has stalled in traffic after filling up at the gas station, the most recent occasion being 2/11/17. On every occasion I have filled the tank (filling only until the pump clicks off), left the gas station parking lot and made it no more than 1/4 mile before the car stalls - typically it will lurch forward 1-2 times very hard, then stall - I turn the key off, then back on and the car will start without incident, however, the lurching and stalling will happen 1-2 more times before the car drives without any incident (until the next fill up). Only one time has the car stalled while in a stopped position (at a stop light), in all other instances the car was in motion on a city street (between 10-45mph) when the stalling has occured - on every occasion it has stalled more than 1 time (the most being 3).
When I fill my gas tank with fuel, for the first mile or so it keeps dying at slows to stops. Every stop or slow down for the first several minutes after fueling. It is a safety issue because it will die right in the middle of traffic or in a turn lane, and I am afraid I will be rear-ended. I have to put it into neutral or park to start it. Sometimes it takes 3 to 4 tries to get it to start when it has stalled like this. This happens every time I fuel up now. The first incident was in 2016.
Started experiencing problems last year. Car would cut off without warning, cut off while in a turn and I was almost hit by oncoming traffic. Took it to the dealer, dealer stated it was PCM. Had the control module fixed ($1000 repair) and now recently we have been experiencing an issue where the car wants to cut off at all speeds. Today, my husband drove it to the gas station and it cut off on him and then wouldn't start back up. It started up a few min after sitting but traffic was too busy so we were unable to drive it home. It is still parked at the gas station and we are hoping well be able to get it home before having to call a tow truck. Replaced spark plugs 1 1/2 weeks ago because we assumed it was misfiring (when it was wanting to cut off). We've changed the camshaft (prior to having the PCM replaced) and egr valve as well. There is no check engine light but have still attempted to get codes read... No codes. This seems to be an ongoing issue that chrysler needs to take care of. I will never buy another car that chrysler has had a hand in making..... How many complaints need to take place before you realize that this will kill someone... But I guess you'd rather a lawsuit on your hands for a death rather then fixing all these cars the right way. #unsatisfiedbuyer took a shot at this beautiful car and am sadly disappointed 2006 300c 5.7l hemi. Whats the point of having such a beautiful car if you can't even drive it.
Today for the 1st time since I've had my chrysler 300c hemi 5.7 liter v8 just randomly stopped at a red light. After taking out the key and restarting the car back up it continued to run, but as soon as we drove off at a low speed you can hear the engine shake and stumble a bit and wanting to stop. I have never encountered problems before since I got it back in 2014.
Car randomly stalls, at any speed, dash lights flash on and off, wipers turn on by them self , horn sounds by itself. Had it at the dealership for 2 months, had at sometimes 40+ codes come up on the computer. Changed multiply modules they cant figure it out
The car will stall unexpectedly. Often when idling at a stoplight, and sometimes when I am driving the oil light warning comes on, the engine cuts out, and power steering ceases to work. I must restart the car and rev the engine before proceeding, it has yet to happen while driving at high speeds on the freeway. On more than one occasion I have had the local chrysler dealership mechanics look at the car, and the problem still persists, usually with increased frequency after filling the gas tank to full. To reiterate, often when I am idling at a stoplight the chrysler 300 stalls. But this sometimes happens when I am in motion driving down a road as well. The mechanics I have had look at my car have found nothing wrong. But it usually happens with greater frequency right after I fill the gas tank to full.
After fueling, car stalled while in motion at slow speed exiting parking lot. Stalled again a mile further when entering garage, both times while turning. Car has 19000 miles.
I own a 2006 chrysler 300c. Since 2013, I have experienced issues with the vehicle stalling while driving at low speeds. The car stops completely, sometimes restarting on its own, sometimes it does not. Chrysler replaced the fuel tank in 2015, stating that was the cause of the issue, but the car continues to stall. Most recently, it stopped while merging onto a busy highway, while driving with my wife and children in the car. The car randomly turns off, no warning. Now the vehicle stopped and refuses to start at all.
I bought my car in january 2015. As of december 2015 it started stalling. It would start jerking when I gave it gas. It would shut off when I either tried to take off from a complete stop or when I was just stopped or in the middle of me driving within 40 MPH. I took it to the chrysler dealership (not the dealer I bought it from) they diagnosed it was the wiring harness. I paid over $1200 to get it fixed. The same problem happened within 24 hours of me picking it up. It was there for almost 2 months, they said it did not do anything when it was there. Only said I needed a new battery. I had them replace the battery. Then it happened again about a month later. This time they diagnosed the fuel tank needed to be replaced. Once work was complete I picked it up and less than 5 minutes after leaving I was broke down again. This is the 5th time its been there in the last 5 months. Also I never received a refund after the mis-disgnosis! This is frustrating!
Vehicle cuts off while backing out of parking spots, traffic lights, and stop signs. Also while driving, the vehicle spudders like it's going to quit, and then suddenly surges at a high rate of speed. All of this is random, at different speeds, and is worse in the city when there is more stopping. No codes or lights are coming on, so a diagnostic can't be ran. My mechanic has had my vehicle for 2 weeks and can't determine the problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While coming to a stop at slow speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted. The failure occurred multiple times after the vehicle was refueled. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. In addition, the air bag warning light illuminated. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. After restarting, the vehicle, it resumed normal operation. The failure occurred only after refueling to the full capacity level. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the mechanic could not locate the failure. The contact was advised not to fill the fuel tank to maximum capacity. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
The car will stall out at complete random times while it is in motion or sitting still in drive or in park. It has happened from 0 to 70 MPH, it is completely random. I have read that this is a common occurrence on this model and chrysler has extended the warranties on the fuel tank to lifetime but for some reason my particular vehicle doesn't fall under this circumstance despite it being the exact same year, make, and model listed on the documents. I do not feel safe driving the car because I'm worried about stalling in the middle of an intersection or highway and it causing a wreck and harm to me or my family.
I have had my car for about 3 years and I noticed that when I filled up the gas tank it would cut off. I thought that I was putting too much gas in it, so I stopped filling it up. Then maybe 3-4 months ago it started acting as if it did not want to start or was not getting enought gas. So I started paying attention to what stores I went to, to get gas. Two days ago, I tried starting my car and at first it would not start as if it was not getting enough gas, but then it finally started and as I was in traffic, making a right turn, it just cut off and would not start back up. I later learned that it is an unlimited recall on the fuel tanks for my car. I called several chryslaer dealerships, and it seems that when I told them what the problem was and that there was a recall on it they said they were not able to fix it for maybe a month or two and one dealership told me that because I had more than 150,00 miles on my car they won't fix it.
About a month ago, I filled up my vehicle with gas. I had my nieces in the car with me, and as I pulled away from the gas station, the car stalled and shut off in the middle of the road. I got it to crank back up before getting hit. It didn't have much power but finally gained its power back. Every time I fill my tank up (not topping off, but stop once it clicks off) and I drive off, the car quits and has to be cranked back up. It appears to only happen when the car is filled up. This is happening only when it's filled up (which one needs to be able to do). This is scary and dangerous as when you pull off into traffic, the last thing you need is to have a car die on you and you get hit. Please help! I see I'm not the only person who is having this problem.
Takata inflator ,engine failure,fuel tank replaced vehicle wass shutting off while driving before fuel tank was replaced and after fuel tank was replaced.. Under a extended life time warranty. Took to another dealership in palestine texas told them vehicle was shutting off while driving and fuel tank was replaced by another dealership in tyler texas. They could not figure out what was wrong , they said it was ok to drive until they receive a response from chrysler (a star case)or something like that.they said there was no response from chrysler until one day ii went to start the car and it didn't start. I called dealership in palestine dealership,had it towed to them. 16 miles later and 15 days later,I was told I needed complete motor. Metal pieces in intake and 2valve seats had dropped.later on 11/20/2015 had the head took off to confirm damages to the head and valves.also on 12/19/2014 when vehicle towed in,they started the vehicle and was accelerating the car I was right there in the waiting room,thinking it's fixed,then come tell me I need a motor .
Stalls after refueling. This is a serious problem and we have not been contacted by chrysler about this know problem!
After filling my gas tank, within minutes, my 2006 300c srt8 will stall or even shut off while driving, regardless of speed of vehicle. It does this at least 2 or 3 times. I feel this is a major safety issue.
My car stalls after refueling the tank. I am using "plus" gas and it still stalls several times after refueling, usually at a stop light or slowing down but also when just driving along. The car will buck a few times and then just stall out. It takes a few tries to get it to turn over but eventually it will. This happens every time we fuel up.I bought the car second-hand from a dealer who liked to charge me for misc repairs they never actually fixed (according to my own mechanic). My mechanic has no answers. Other than this dangerous problem, I like my vehicle, do you know if chrysler has the answer and if this can be resolved? I am guessing at when the problem started. Sometime in 2012 shortly after the purchase
When I fill the gas to full, the engine stalls and it happened in an intersection on a yellow light. Very scarry. Has happened several times since but this needs to be fixed
Car stalls after filling fuel tank. The stalling issue has been happening for almost 2 years now. Online forums describe a known fuel tank gas fume evac system malfunction. Only known fix is replacement of entire gas tank. If tank is filled only 3/4's full, the stalling does not occur. Chrysler should be forced to recall the defective gas fume evac system and replace the fuel tanks. Cars stalling in traffic is extremely dangerous. Please help.
When I'm driving around 55 miles per hour on the highway or bellow the car once to surge and stall in the middle of driving. It will also stall stationary at a red light or stop sign but not all the time, seems after filling my tank up as when it starts acting. I'm on a quarter tank now in my car still keeps wanting to stall
Upon filling up the car with gas, the car stalled less than 500ft from the gas station. The car restarted and I drove 1/16th of a mile and as I was pulling out into traffic the car stalled again. The car has approximately 39300 miles on it.
After filling gas tank car would shut off while driving and I would lose control of car to stear. After sat all car would start and drive ok. Danger is when car stalls on the road while driving. This happened several times, could not fill tank up.
When refueling our vehicle, using the correct grade of gas, not topping off the tank and allowing the fuel pump nozzle to shut off automatically when filled, we are experiencing life threatening episodes of stalling out when entering traffic from a gas station, or idling in traffic, turning corners, and entering ramps to the highway it will stall and choke when we try to start it back up. We wait approximately 3-5 minutes before attempting a restart without engaging the gas pedal. But still nothing happens. When it shuts off we forcibly have to turn the steering wheel because you lose power to your brakes, steering, etc. And just pray that nobody gets injured. During the stall out there are no warning lights shown on the dashboard. Once we finally get it to hold a start, we must at high idle drive fast as possible, getting off the main road/highway/city street to immediately garage the car. Then we have to have it run with the garage door open for at least 2.0 hours. And then we cautiously drive it with me following my husband to make sure it doesn't stall out again. Once we get pass this stalling-out period the car behaves properly, and we have no further issues until we refuel again on a weekly basis. We only have this refueling issue when filling the car. It indeed is a problem that the chrysler group llc discussed in the letter we received may 8, 2014, in the 2nd paragraph "the affected vehicle population may experience a condition where the fuel shut-off float, in the multifunction control valve sticks, which may result in the vehicle stalling after refueling. This statement for us is definitely our problem. And we are planning to address it with the dealership asap. This has happened every week. The last time was october 30th 2015. We have now only filled it to the 3/4 mark and it has stopped stalling out temporarily.
