I have had this car for 7 years, never had an issue. On february 23,2014 I went to shell and filled up the car with $49.00. I do not remember if I ever filled the car up before. I'm sure I have but I usually put 20/30 bucks in. But I just found out about stop n shop gas savings and received a discount. I tried to put 50 in but it only took 49.00. I got back in the car and I tried to pull away from the pump and it shut down. I thought maybe it was a fluke since I was basically at a roll. I drove 2 blocks and at the traffic light it died. I proceeded to make a u-turn to return home. The car died 3 times in a 5 block span. I took the car to my cousin who had a computer, no codes came up but the car shut down twice. I parked the car and took out a different car. My cousin thought it was bad gas or a bad oil change which I had done on feb 22, 2014 I just returned home and googled, "chrysler 300c stalling" and found the article that this has been occurring, and here I am. I guess I will contact chrysler in the morning.

Hope this issue gets fixed before someone seriously gets hurt or even killed!!
Tl- the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was not available. Mh
Car stalls after refueling. It will stall whether idling or driving. Takes 4 or so tries to restart vehicle. Happens almost every time. I do not overfill or fill when car is running. Brought car to dealer who could not recreate problem and computer diagnostics showed no issues. I called chrysler directly and they claim they have never heard of this problem and cannot help unless dealer can recreate. The only problem is that it only happens after filling up, which the dealer did 1 time and of course it didn't happen.
Vehicle hesitates/stalls after filling with fuel. Dealership replaced purge solenoid and cannister at a cost to me of $538.22. After replacement, car died on me 5 times after filling with fuel in less than a 4 block area. Returned car to dealership. Was told the customary fix was a new canister and fuel tank, at an additional cost of $1,168.70 plus tax, or to only fill tank 3/4 of the way full when fueling. I choose not to pay approximately an additional $1,200 and have not been able to fill my tank to first fuel hose shutoff since. Have had to try to guess how much fuel to put into vehicle when fueling ever since. Don't understand why I wasn't notified by the dealership of this problem since they obviously have a record this was an issue with my vehicle, and have not received the fuel tank extended lifetime warranty coverage letter from chrysler. Have not been contacted by chrysler at all regarding this problem.
My 2006 chrysler 300 stalls after I fill it with gas. This happened to me a number of times. I now longer can fill my gas tank. This is a dangerous problem as the car stalls while I am driving it. It stalled on me on the fwy. Luckily for me, there was heavy traffic and I was going 35 MPH. I have been told I need a new gas tank which would cost me over 1000 dollars. There is a los angeles time article dated may 14,2013 which indicates nearly 200,000 complaints regarding 2006 300c, dodge charger and dodge magnum of having this problem. Chrysler needs to do a recall on these vehicles. Updated 03/12/14
When I fill up my 2006 chrysler 300c 5.7 hemi it will stall/engine shuts off while driving down the street. Acts like it could be vapor lock. It's take a few tries to start after this happens. I will be in the middle-of-the-road. There has been a few close calls. It happens every time I fill up with gas. I am scared to pull out into traffic just because my car will sometimes stall. I've taken my car to mechanics and the dealership nobody seems to know what the problem is.
Filled tank with gas an left the gas station then the car shut off wile driving, then tried to start and the car shut off again three times after the tank was less than full the car ran fine.
After fueling, car began to surge, and then die at random for approximately 5 minutes. Car stalled at major, busy intersection while I was turning. I had a near, potentially fatal accident as I had to restart my car while oncoming traffic coming towards me. This was a horrifying experience. I had this happen a few more times and had attributed it to "bad gas" until I found out about a faulty fuel tank/vapor part in car. I took the car to chrysler dealership and paid $130.00 to diagnose problem. Rode with service technician to refuel car and show him the problem. He experienced the same issue, verified my complaint, then gave me the estimate of cost to replace fuel tank. Chrysler corp. Has offered a 25% discount to help with replacement of entire fuel tank. The whole fuel tank needs to be replaced because the faulty part is built into it. The cost quote from the chrysler dealership, parts and labor is $1,350.00. The price of the fuel tank only, no labor is $905.00. This should be covered by chrysler 100%, the fuel tank did not wear out or fail, the part they built into it failed. It may appear by the year model, (2006) that this an older model beginning to have problems. This is not the case, car has been kept up with regular service and maintenance and is in otherwise mint condition.I feel that this is a serious safety issue, and now I am aware that I cannot fill my fuel tank to capacity without having this issue re occur. Please, any help appreciated. Thank you.
Engine stalls at slow speed and at idle also miss fires at speed after refueling gas tank. It continues until a gal. Or so of fuel is consumed .
Car stalls after fill-up. Will stall even without topping off tank. This will happen when pulling out into traffic. Will stall multiple times and buck while driving for a time. Can not fill up tank.
Vehicle stalled at major intersection shortly after refueling and would not restart and stay running. Had to be pushed out of intersection and off roadway by police. No codes appeared. Numerous restarts and stalls before car was drivable. Brought to mechanic who computer scanned for diagnosis. No codes. Problem has now recurred 2 more times immediately after last 2 fill ups. Most recent was reentering rte 23s near wayne nj after filling up. Car stalled and created a serious hazard for me and passengers trying to avoid rear end collision while pulling to shoulder with no power. Very busy road with 50-60 MPH traffic. Car would not restart and stay running - requiring 5-7 restart/stalls before it was drivable. Brought to mechanic for diagnosis again. No codes on scanner. Very dangerous situation.
Car stalled after fuel fill up went 100 feet stalled entering the roadway (route 17s). Very dangerous.
Engine stalled soon after filling gas tank. Has happened the last two times the tank was filled.
Upon fill up of gas tank until pump auto shuts off, when driving away from gas station, vehicle will constantly stall and not start, vehicle will shut off unexpectedly in the middle of traffic, this became very dangerous when it happened in the middle of an intersection with my children in the car. I had the gas tank, fuel pump, evap pump, charcoal canister all replaced by galeanas dodge in warren mi. All expenses were on me. The parts used were the exact same ones that came from the factory, no superseded parts were used or updated. I know this is a very common problem with many others who drive a similarly equipped vehicle.
Our chrysler 300c had begun to stall out while driving with more than 3/4 tank of gas. We began to limit the amount of gas to never fill more than 3/4 tank. This lasted for approximately 6 months. In dec, 2013 the vehicle began to stall at other times. I had between 1/4 to 1/2 in the tank when we were driving at approx 45mph when the vehicle began to stall then restart at first. Then it stalled entirely several times that evening as we tried to make it home. I had my 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters with me at the time. The next morning I took the vehicle to local dlr, lee chrysler, were I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle stalled on me 3 times while I was trying to make it the 3 miles. The dealer had the car until 12-16-2013 when they advised that the proportional valve/purge vale needed replaced and that all of the updates to the system needed to be made. The total of this attempt to repair was $379.45. The car immediately began to stall again so I returned it. They kept the car for approximately two weeks with their computer hooked up to it then advised that the PCM needed replaced this repair cost a total of $1,018.61. The car was on empty so he offered to stop for gas. He filled the tank up then pulled out to 5 lanes of traffic and stalled. The vehicle would not restart for several attempts. I called the dealer and they wrecker after the vehicle. They had the car for one night and called us to pick up and run the gas out to 1/4tank. We were told it would not stall again because they had disconnected the emissions system. While I was driving the car on a very busy 7 lane hwy with my daughter and 3 month old granddaughter the car came to a dead stop in 40mph traffic. I was terrified but was able to get the vehicle to the center lane. They have now called and advised another sensor must be replaced. Someone is going to get injured or killed in this car.
I am not sure about the actual start date or mileage, but this has been a continued problem for about 4 years. Each time I fill the fuel tank, the car engine starts misfiring and completely cutting off, it continues to do this for several miles (probably 6 to 8) if I have topped up the tank. This results in loss of power steering and power brakes and more than once has nearly let to an accident. I now make sure that I stop filling the tank as soon as the nozzle shuts off, but this still happens for a couple of miles. The engine runs fine at all other times, but this problem occurs every time I fuel the car. I research this problem through the internet and found that many owners of this car hare having the same problem and that the fix requires an expensive replacement of the fuel tank. This problem is definitely a safety issue and I feel chrysler should issue a recall..
After re-fueling, the vehicle experiences multiple stall conditions while on the road. This condition has occurred multiple times and can occur both while driving and while stopped at a light. I've noticed that this more frequently occurs when you fill up the tank to the point that the auto shut off on the gas nozzle is tripped. The car gives no warning that its about to experience an issue until the car completely shuts off, most likely while you're already on the road. Right now the only way to combat this problem is to not fill up the car more than 3/4 of the tank. This method keeps the driver guessing as to how much gas should be pumped, and causes more frequent fill ups as you're not using 1/4 of the gas tank capacity. This is a very dangerous condition, and its one that should be communicated to all 300c owners immediately.
For the last 30,000+ miles, every time I fill up the car stalls or attempts to stall. About 8 months ago, I took it to my mechanic who had never heard of the problem. He searched the internet and found no reported instances. I've learned to apply a little gas when I have to stop at red lights to keep it running. It will still stall out. I have been searching the internet every few months to see if anyone had the same problem and finally found your investigation action number pe13016.
I've been having a problem with my car stalling after I fill up at the gas station for a few years now. I read that chrysler was not recalling for this reason so I just read forums and tried not to fill up my gas tank but sometimes I forget and the problem continues.
Stopped on the way home to fill up my gas tank. When the nozzle shut off, I removed the nozzle. I heard a gurgling sound in the tank which was unusual. I began driving out of the gas station through the adjacent parking lot and the engine died within 150 feet of driving. I restarted the engine and upon it died again within 15 feet. Re-started a third time and it stalled out and would not stay running. Had the car towed to local repair shop and upon doing diagnostic tests found that the roll over valve in the fuel tank was bad which caused fuel to get into the evap vent hose which caused the engine to flood and stall out. Solution is to replace the tank which is on back order til jan 30th (9 days from now). They are expecting in 130 tanks at the warehouse which is suggesting this issue is becoming more common.
After I fill up (I do not overfill), within the first several miles I drive, the vehicle will stall when slowing down for a stop light. I have also had it that at 40-50 MPH it will "hesitate/jerk" like there is a fuel mix issue. This has happened two times in the last week.
Vehicle stalls, multiple times after filling up with fuel.
I drove to the gas station, and when I was driving around the corner the car stalled. I was going around 20 miles per hour. I tried turning the car back on after a few times and it just wouldn't start. After a few minutes I managed to start the car back on and I drove in a near by shopping center. As I pulled up the car stalled once again. I decided to wait about ten more minutes before starting the car again and it failed to start. I waited an additional 20 minutes and finally it started with a little hesitation. This has happened to me several times now.
After refueling at local gas station drove 5 miles. Stopped at light where vehicle stalled suddenly. Vehicle restarted after 3 attempts with ignition key.
Engine stalled and stopped working as coming out of gas station after filling up. Steering went hard and brakes did not work, warning light (lube oil can) came up. Turned ignition off and on again, engine started but kept stalling. Jerks violently when moving slowly 0 to 20 MPH , the engine continued to stall during deceleration or when stopped for the next 3 miles. Stalling occurs within minutes after refueling and will stall 2-3 times in a 5 minute period. The vehicle performs correctly once you get past this stage. Multiple occurrences - all after filling tank.
I am terrified to drive my car! Three times in the last 6 weeks, right after I fuel up, I leave the gas station and my car completely shuts down/off while I am driving. The lights on the dash come on, the engine stalls, I lose the ability to steer, and my car is "dead in the water". It is really frightening! It happened once when my husband was driving, and two more times when I was driving, but each time it was immediately after getting gas. Luckily, these multiple stalling incidents have happened at lower speeds, but I am concerned about the car dying while I am on the freeway, as it would surely end up in a horrible accident. If other owners of a 2006 chrysler 300c hemi have had this issue, I feel that the manufacturer should resolve this issue through recalling these vehicles for repair before someone gets injured or killed.
After re-fueling vehicle, car stalled at 5 intersections. Vehicle was difficult to restart. Vehicle would not always go back into gear after restarting until several attempts were made. After burning off a few gallons of fuel on the highway, the vehicle no longer stalled/misfired. Tank was not "topped-off" when filled, it was filled until the pump stopped automatically. Stalling occurs every time vehicle is filled to full.
Vehicle stalls several times after filling up the gas tank, mostly while idling. And, it is difficult to re-start after stalling. Engine also runs "rougher" after fill-up. Problem has gotten worse over the past few months. Took 300c to local mechanic who says there is a problem with the gas tank overflow valve. Solution is to replace gas tank or never completely fill it up. It seems that with all of these similar safety complaints, chrysler should find an alternative fix.
After filling up the gas tank the car stalled multiple times and was very difficult to start. This happened several times before it would run properly. This happens every time I fill the gas tank. The solution has been to not fill the tank. Chrysler knows this is a problem--the have been able to recreate it in their test.
