My chrysler 300c has been stalling everytime I drive it. Ive taken it to two chrysler dealerships. One of them charged me more then $300 for nothing because they couldn't even find the problem but ended up charging me for the time. The second dealership changed my fuel tank that chrysler gave a lifetime warranty on. It did not fix the problem. The car is still stalling at every stop I make. I think the problem isn't with the fuel tank because it did not fix the stalling issue. I think that its something to do with the wiring or computer. I also think that chrysler should fix this issue asap. They said it was the gas tank but its clearly not. Why should I be paying thousands of dollars for a faulty problem that isnt my fault. I take care of my car and its only got 140,000km on it. Chrysler told me that it would cost thousands of dollars to find the problem. Please let me know what I should do. I think that chrysler said it was the fuel tank because that would be a cheaper way to handle with this issue other then spending hours to find the problem. Chrysler should be fixing this problem not me. The car has died on me while making a left turn in the middle of a intersection. That is not safe and it has happened to me more then 20 times. I also feel like im damaging my car everytime I have to turn it back on. It also guzzles the gas more just by turning it back on everytime. Please get chrysler to do something about this. If the car still has the stalling issue after getting the gas tank changed then atleast get chrysler to find the problem at no cost to me.
2006 Chrysler 300C fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 13: complaints 71 to 100 of 342, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Called chrysler (1-800-chrysler) about vehicle stalling after filling up gas tank after vehicle repeatedly stalled after filling up. I have a 2006 chrysler 300c awd w/ 5.7l hemi v8. Google search showed the federal safety agency action #pe13016 extending gas tank warranty of all 2006 hemi-engined 300's. Chrysler rep on the phone told me no such warranty existed after checking with supervisor. Had to call local dealership (gurnee dodge) who was able to confirm that yes said warranty does exist and they would fix the issue. Incredibly disappointing that chrysler lied to me. Car first stalled on train tracks near my house, and the gates on the crossing started to close just as I got the car to clear the crossing! Scared the wits out of me!
2006 chrysler 300c 5.7l hemi: engline stalls if I fill the gas tank to maximum as I make r or l turn leaving gas station . Car will restart and stall again and again if/when I make a turn to the right or left until such time as level of gasoline in tank fails below the full mark. This is a problem on a long trip as it requies numerous extra stops for gas and stalling as I enter roadway or highway is dangerous for me and surrounding traffic/travelers.
What happen is that I just got the car used, had it 3 days cut the car off would not start back, I called the people who I got the car from, they came and got it, had it for three weeks, could not fix it so they send it to a dealership they had it a month and a half still didn't fix it right, they said it was fixed but was not, I picked the car up drove it home 30 minutes, got home forgot something at the store got in car would not say anything, lights and radio and still came on but car would not start, I could smell gas and they came and got the car again never mine that I had only had the car 3 days, ok they put new cadillac converters on iti picked the car up,on my way home driving 20, car just cut off I thank god that no one hit me and it was 3 cars behind me I sat there for a minute and it started back but cut right off again, so I waited for a few more minutes, tried again, car started up and I went home cut car off, after 3 hours car was just dead would not do anything. Again call the shop, they came in picked the car up and that aug, right now the car is in the shop, they cant seem to find out what's wrong with it, they put a lot of new parts on the car they said when they thank it is fixed they let the car run about a hour, but yet again it cuts off, something needs to be done about these cars cutting off while they are being drove, there are no recalls on these cars for that, there are many many complaints about the same thing , what is going on with chrysler don't they know that a person can get kill driving and the car cuts off at any speed, I have my grand baby's everyday, I will never want anything to happen to them or me, all I can say is something needs to be done. Thank you
Vehicle stalled out at about 5 MPH. Next day vehicle stalled out at 65 MPH on interstate. Very dangerous situation. Repair facility could find no problem, had expensive major tuneup, but problem still exists.
Hello, I am a current chrysler vehicle owner and ive been having issues where my 2006 chrysler 300c srt8 which just shuts off without any warnings or trouble codes reported to the cars computer. There are times when im driving on a busy highway and the car will just stall out. Each time I take my car to the auto mechanics, they arent able to identify anything wrong as there arent any codes detected. My vehicle even stalled while at the mechanics shop and they still werent able to assist as no codes were triggered. Over the past 2 years, ive spent thousands of dollars and countless hours, stuck on major highs as well as replacing car components in a big effort of trying to resolve this concern. To date, I am still experiencing these anxieties. Ive been out on relative web sites looking this problem up and it appears this has been happening to thousands of chrysler srt/srt8 owners and they are dealing with same concerns that I am. Im including a url link to one of the blog of 10+ pages of complaints from owners who are lost, confused and dont know what to do. Http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-47313.html one of the major reasons why I am asking for some assistance is both awareness to the general public, as there could be serious accidents as a result. Another reason is a proactive effort at hoping to get assistance to get feedback from chrysler to help resolve these concerns.
My cat stalled at a red light after fueling up my gas tank
Every time I fill up my car at gas station, right afterwards it stalls at low speeds 4-6 times before resolving. It also was stuttering at speeds of up to 35 MPH. Four times I have nearly missed being involved in an accident due to this malfunction.
Filled car up at gas station and stalls at low speeds, also was stuttering at speeds of up to 30 MPH.
The car chime will chime, the engine acts like it wants to stall, losing power for about 3 seconds, then it's fine. I received a sort of recall from chrysler about the problem, I called the dealership in raynham, ma., the first week of feb., 2015. I was told it would take about 2 weeks for the part. It has now been 9 weeks, and I'm told they are still waiting for 5 orders on this problem. I have had the car stall out, while driving in 35 MPH traffic, very dangerous! It doesn't appear to me that chrysler is taking the letter I received stating they came to agreement with the federal safety agency to seriously!!!
The 300 had a recall on the fuel tank, which was replaced january 2015 by tate in frederick md. Since then the stalling issue has gotten worse. I took the car to tate 4 times, and was told 4 different diagnostics. 1= transmission, 2= battery, 3=plugs & coils, 4=canister for extra fuel. I replaced the spark plugs & coils. Which didn't correct the issue. I took it to a 2nd dealer. Darcar's in rockville md and they are now telling me that its the transmission control module & power control module. My car no matter if there is a full tank or a 1/4 of tank stalls when I am at idle. It can stall once or the max is 9 times. I have a 1 1/2 year old & 5 year old which is a safety issue. I found this forum, which are other people having the same issue & different dealers are throwing different parts. I don't think the replacement of the fuel tank corrected this true issue. Can you please help me with discovering the true cause and making the cars safe for the drivers and passengers?
After topping off the gas tank the vehicle was driven two blocks where it was then pulled onto a busy access road in town. The vehicle was slowing down to a red light when the engine stalled for a moment, the oil pressure light came on, then immediately cut out and would not restart. After putting on hazard lights and attempting to call for a tow attempts were made to restart the car and after about 20 minutes of waiting the engine turned over and it was possible to pull the car off the road to a mechanic a block up. The car was scanned and no engine codes were found and oil pressure was found to be fine. The car was given a valve flush and started up fine after that. The incident repeated itself on 3/29/15 once more after filling up the tank, after going to blocks the car once more stalled and shut down. At this point I am very concerned for my safety with this vehicle if this is what is going to happen every time the car needs gas and this should be address with a recall after seeing so many complaints.
Very soon after purchasing the 2006 chrysler 300c (used), it began shutting off while driving. Obviously this is incredibly dangerous. After "googling" is seems people all over with this vehicle have had similar problems, an some were attributing this to filing up the gas tank. We took due caution not to fill up the tank (how ridiculous is this?) and the problem has continued. An extended warranty was purchased from the ford dealership we purchased at. After the run around about who actually "fixes" the car, it was taken to a chrysler dealership who charged us $400.00 for a battery and then replaced some wiring harness which did nothing. We are back at it with the dealership. I see an article in the la times on the internet saying to take the vehicle back to the dealership. That's not helping. We haven't put 2,000 miles on this vehicle in almost a year now. It is unsafe to drive and has no value. Help. The federal safety agency obviously knows about this.

I noticed that my car will stall out after I have filled the tank up with gas. I use the recommend gas grade the book said to use. The problem has been happening since february. It will drive away from the pump or gas station without a problem but will stall in traffic or while at a light I had the fuel pump replace a month ago and it will stall out I don't know what else the problem can be but a car stalling out in traffic can cause a accident.
After fueling (filling) our 2006 300c the car was started successfully. After engaging the transmission and pulling away from the pump the engine suddenly stalled. After letting the car sit for a few minutes, the car successfully restarted and continued to run. This has happened a couple times a month since the first incident.
2006 chrysler 300c-(aprox. 45000 miles) car started randomly shutting off when stopping or turning. Problem became more frequent to shutting off while driving, idling, and shifting backwards. Chrysler replaced the fuel tank but problem continues. Told by the chrysler dealership we need to replace the fuel pumps as they aren't working properly but at our own expense. Independent mechanic said pumps seem to be working fine. Does not register a code on diagnostic test. Our car has 45,000 miles and this is a known problem...we should not be having engine stalling troubles!!
Car stalls/shuts off after refueling after driving a while stall stops until refueling again. Took car to dealer they found nothing wrong with car, they charged me for replacement of the battery. Car did the same thing after refueling. Took it again today 2/15/15 and was told my car wasnt covered for the lifetime recall for the fuel tank float replacement, although im having the same symptoms for this year vehicle that clearly alot of other customers have had the same problem.
Car stalls at various speeds after gasoline fillup. Very hard to restart. Very dangerous condition. Has shut off at high speeds as well as low speed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the engine stalled without warning. After restarting, the vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The failure recurred five times only after the vehicle was refueled to full capacity. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced due to the faulty fuel tank roll over. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.
This has happened at least 3 times in the last 2 years. I would fill up with fuel and after leaving the gas station the vehicle would stall causing me to lose power steering and brakes and having to stop in the middle of traffic. I received a alert from chrysler last year but have misplaced the letter. It stated that if I experienced this problem that I should take it to a dealer and they would replace the gas tank.
After filling gas tank, the engine stalls repeatedly. When it stalls, power steering is lost and car comes to stop sometimes in traffic. The engine then cranks normally. I took it to the dealer and they changed the egr valve which did not fix the problem. Suggested shotgun approach.
Vehicle stalled at low speed. The date indicated is believed to be approximately the first time this occurred. It has occurred about 6 times in the last two years, the last being on jan 2, 2015. This last occurrence happened just after filling the tank, and within 1 mile. The vehicle stalled when approaching the entrance gate to the housing complex, again when arriving at the house, and once more while sitting idle.
Fueled up vehicle, car stalled as I was leaving the gas station. This has happened numerous times. Again when we were entering freeway after fueling up, the car stalled in the middle of the street. The car has also stalled going around a round-about. Car was able to start after the stall with no other incident.
Over the last couple months after refueling my vehicle the vehicle stalls. It has become a given that after I fill my car I know at some point within the first 5-10 minutes I will start having propulsion issues. The car dies when I'm sitting at traffic lights. I'm afraid to try and enter a freeway directly after refueling because if I go to hit the gas it's an accident waiting to happen. I have to go find a parking lot and rev my engine for a while till I think it's safe to proceed. I should have to go through all of this after refueling my car. I did some research and saw the complaints and the federal safety agency reports. I called chrysler and they said they don't have any records of any fuel issues with the srt models so my best bet would be to go to my dealer for a diagnostic check.
2006 chrysler 300c - after fueling up got about 1/2mile down the road engine just cut out (not electrical as I didn't loose dash lights) just like the engine stopped for a few seconds and came back on. Thought it was a fluke and kept going and it happened again twice, turned around and took the car home happened a couple more times while trying to get home. Haven't driven the car since and that was 5 days ago.
After filling my fuel tank, the car idled erratically, surged, and died multiple times, usually right after takeoff. This has happened every time I have filled my fuel tank for the last several months, and has nearly caused an accident on more than one occasion.
My wife drives this vehicle. Every time she fills it up with fuel, the car stalls in traffic 2-3 times immediately after she drives away from the gas station. It will however restart after a few minutes. She has had several close calls that could have resulted in a serious accident. At least once she was driving through a curve when the engine stalled, disabling the power steering where she was no longer able to control the vehicle to a safe stop. The first time this happened, I took it to the dealer and they told me it was my wife's fault because she must be overfilling the tank. They told me to tell her to let the fuel pump nozzle shut off the fuel when the tank was full and not put in any additional fuel after that. Well we tried this and it makes absolutely no difference. Then I carried it back to the dealer again and they told me that they had since found out from chrysler that this was due to a defective fuel tank issue and the only fix was to replace the tank and associated parts at a cost of approx. $2000. If chrysler knew that the fuel tank was defective, it should be fixed under warranty. Chrysler should not be allowed to get away with this. It is a serious safety issue and someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed if they haven't already! Please help. Thank you.
2006 chrysler 300c. Consumer writes in regards to repair reimbursement.* ld the consumer received a letter from chrysler stating they were extending the fuel tank warranty period because some of the affected vehicle population may experienced a condition where the fuel shut-off float in the multi-function control valve sticks which may result in the vehicle stalling after re-fueling. The consumer stated he experienced the stalling issue, as stated in the letter.
I have had engine stalling after refueling on numerous occasions since 2007. Received a letter dated may 8, 2014 from chrysler group llc informing me that my model chrysler has a condition where the furl shut-off float in the multifunction control valve sticks, causing the vehicle to stall. The letter informed me that the warranty on the tank had been extended to lifetime coverage. This is where my problem with the vehicle continues.... On 17 june 2014 took my vehicle to cutter chrysler in pearl city, hawaii 96782 to get it repaired (my wife will not ride in the vehicle because of the stalling). I was informed that the part is on back order (approximately 2-3 months). I went back in september and was informed it should be 1-2 weeks. I went back today 3 november 2014 and was informed still on back order with no date as to when parts may be received. Chrysler has not adequately addressed this problem with an extended warranty, when you can't get your vehicle repaired because of back ordered parts. It has been 6 months and no repair in sight. My wife does not consider this low risk to vehicle safety and has not ridden in the vehicle since 2008! How can the preliminary evaluation be closed when chrysler has not adequately addressed fixing the problem. Warranty extended, but no parts!! Investigation closed but no repairs. The problem is still a problem!
Car continues to lose power in the midst of driving down the highway it in traffic. We experienced power failure some 45 times last night driving home. At one point we could not go faster than 45 MPH. The fuel pump has been changed and the issue has not stopped. Now the chrysler tech says that the computer is not communicating with the transmission and a module is needed. This problem has existed for quite some time now and we don't know now what to do and I'm afraid we will have a deadly accident with this vehicle going dead while driving down the road or highway in traffic. There is no warning prior to stopping it just stops.
