2006 Chrysler 300C fuel system complaints
Page 9 of 13: complaints 221 to 250 of 342, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After fueling, filling up, the car will stall several times both while stopped and while moving slowly (10-15mph). If you are moving at highway speeds 45-70mph the car will cut out causing the car to jerk and then resume. It has happened 3 or 4 times since nov 2013. It happens after the care is refueled. I have owned the car since it was new and it only started this behavior recently.
After fueling my vehicle I drove about 300 feet away from the gas station, and my car completely stalled out without restarting for about 5 minutes. After getting the car to restart I drove for another 5 miles and the car stalled out again. After the second stall I let the car sit on the side of the road for about 10 minutes and turned it back on and drove away. This is not the first time I have experienced this issue, it has happened 2 other times before. I fear that if this keeps happening with no resolution from chrysler people may have to report something worse than just the car stalling.

The contact stated that the failure only occurred when he could completely refuel the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the fuel tank needed to the replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 43,000. Updated 02/27/14*lj updated 02/27/14 updated 2/26/14
I was exiting a highway via an off ramp. When I came to a stop at the intersection the engine stalled out. After several attempts the engine restarted and the car drove normally. I had filled up the gas tank at prior to this incident.
After many incidents we have determined that after filling with fuel, the vehicle stalls many times in approximately the next 5 miles, makes the vehicle very scary to drive. Difficult to get the whole family and station attendants to understand that this car can not have a full tank of gas. Terrible failure that it seems chrysler is ignoring...
After fueling up about 1 mile later as I left a red light the motor just stalled as soon as it took off with no warning no power steering I couldn't control the vehicle in the middle of a busy road had to put the car and park and re start the motor it happens whenever I refuel very dangerous.
Car stalled in middle of intersection. Other cars nearly struck me from rear. Stalled after restart, blocking intersection. This has happened several times, nearly resulting in accidents. Always occurs immediately after filling gas tank.
After refueling the car it will begin to run, and idle, rough to the point that it stalls. This happens every time the car is refueled. Most of the time it dies while idling, but has died while driving several times. The issue is worse if the car is refueled from the point that the low fuel light is on. It will die several times when refueled from this low level in the tank. The car has died while leaving a red light and getting as far as the intersection and having to try to restart it while in the middle of the intersection.
2006 chrysler 300c stalls after fill up. Car is hard to start up after it stalls, it will stall a couple times again and than it will be ok until next fill up. Can not get more than 1/2 mile gas station. Lucky I was able to get out of traffic without any problem. This problem started a little over a year ago, went to dealer, they could not find a problem with my car. They recommended to clean injectors, did this, it didn't help. Last 3 fill up have been the same problem.
I filled up the car with gas and after driving about half a mile the engine stalled while in traffic. The car started and stalled repeatedly five or six times for about four blocks. At a certain point the problem stopped and the car was drivable. I took the car to a nearby auto shop and they found no error codes in the system. After leaving the auto shop the car continued to drive without stalling. Several weeks later I filled up with gas again and the problem repeated itself after driving about half a mile. The engine stalled about five times. It was more difficult to turn the engine over this time but it eventually started and drove fine.
Within a minute or so of refueling, the engine stalled and, consequently, the power steering and power brakes failed. The car would re-start with little difficulty only to stall again very shortly thereafter. Eventually, after perhaps 10 minutes of starts/stalls, and re-starts, operation would return to normal. At the time of the first occurrence, I had no reason to believe that this problem was related to refueling. However, the problem has since recurred with every refueling (at least 4 refuelings so far), resulting in numerous engine stalls in traffic. Apart from these refueling-related incidents the car runs perfectly, and my local mechanic has said that "the car's computer" indicates all systems are normal. A google search on my problem, however, suggests that the problem is extremely common in chrysler 300cs of a similar vintage.
After fueling the chrysler 300c the car will crank just fine and run for a minute or so but then stalls out. This scenario continues for about 5 to 8 times before it is safe to get back on the road. It has also died while driving shortly after fueling causing the power steering to stop making it extremely difficult to steer the car off the road to safety. This is very upsetting and unsafe for my family. There seems to be no good answer for this problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that upon starting, the contact heard a pop as all of the electronic components failed. The contact inspected the vehicle and found that the battery had failed. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle suddenly stalled after refueling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Vehicle stalled after refueling. Filling the gas tank to full without 'topping off' will cause the car's engine to stall without any prior warning. No dtcs/miles are set. Can be restarted with some difficulty. The stall will occur at any engine/vehicle speed and will happen within the first 5 minutes of driving the car after refueling. The problem can be avoided by not filling the tank past 3/4 full. Have tested this 'work-around' at the same gas station & pump.
After refueling, car stalls. This happens after driving approximately 2 to 3 minutes after leaving gas station. The stall has taken place at intersections, while at a complete stop and while driving no more than 5 -10mph after leaving the gas station.. Car restarts after several attempts in neutral. When each incident occurs, the oil icon comes on, however the oil level is not low. On one occasion after having backed into a parking space with the car gear shift still in reverse and my foot on the brake, the car lurched. The tires could be heard spinning. That was very scary because my car could have rolled into a busy highway. Once the fuel level indicates approximately a half a tank, no stalling incidents take place. Car was taken to the dealership with this concerned. Service advisor was aware of chyrsler 300c stalls after refueling. Fuel injection system was serviced/cleaned. This has not resolved the problem. Car still stalling. Really afraid to drive the car, however I am taking it back to the dealership to let them know of the still ongoing problem.
On several occasions, most recently 12/21/2/13 after fueling up my 2006 chrysler 300c to a full tank (not overfilling) my car runs rough and stalls immediately after pulling out into traffic or within one mile of leaving the gas station. My car will not restart for at least 30-45 seconds of cranking the engine. This is definitely a huge safety concern by pulling out into moving traffic when my car stalls. Dealership is recommending a new gas tank and vapor canister which is a very costly repair ($1,500 -$2,000) and they cannot guarantee it will be resolved and there are no current recalls for this issue.
Drove approximately 3 miles to work, while pulling into parking spot car stalled and oil light on left came on! Car would not restart. Tried to start it again later and it did, and no issue since.
I have a 2006 chrysler 300c 5.7 hemi. Have owned car for over a year and never overfilled gas tank and never had this problem before. I got a full tank of gas, then started car and pulled away, a block later the car died. This happened 7 times over the next 2 miles to get car home. Car stalled, RPM's down, starting jerking. I kept it in neutral to keep it from dying. Went home and googled problem - seems to be either 3 things - fuel vapor canister (located above right rear tire), fuel vapor canister purge valve (located in engine compartment), or rollover/check valve (located in fuel tank). Took car to firestone next day and they said that vapor canister and purge valve are working and it was be the component in the tank. Said it will cost $1,500 for new tank. I said no way, I'll wait till there is a recall on this, which there [xxx] well better be. If this car stalled on expressway, I would have been screwed. There is a fast fix instead of replacing anything - either fuel tank only 3/4 full, or leave gas cap off after fueling, so that no pressure is in tank and vapor is burned off through filler neck, instead of through engine. I feel like calling chrysler dealership tomorrow and seeing what they say. This can't be tolerated. The vapor canister is an emissions thing that takes fuel vapor and burns it though engine, but if it malfunctions, it will suck up fuel and flood engine. So hopefully the more people that comment on here, the more chance there will be a recall so that I don't have to fork over $1,500 for a defective manufacturing issue, that the dealer needs to fix for free. *tr information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Stalls after I fill up and jerks violently when moving slowly 0 to 20 MPH and hesitates when driving 30 and over if I don't drive around drive around in a parking lot for apx 10 min it will stop in traffic and possibly causing a rear end collision.
Approximately 2 months ago, vehicle started stalling after refueling. Every refuel since without fail the vehicle stalls. Stalling occurs within minutes after refueling and will stall 2-3 times in a 5 minutes period. The vehicle performs correctly once you get past this stage. Based on my research (internet) there have been many other 2006 chrysler products (incl town and country mini van) experiencing the same issues. It appears the separator valve at the top of the fuel tank is the culprit.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling to capacity and driving 10 MPH, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 108,496 and the current mileage was 146,000.
Started stalling after fill up's apx 1 year ago. I do not drive it alot. Apx 55000 miles on it. First thought was due to changing octane but been using for 4 months . Stalls, bucks, surges. Cleared up after apx 5 to 10 min.
After fueling car, it stalls out. After restart will run and may or may not stall again. Not a very good thing to happen. Could become the cause of an accident. Dealership says no recalls on car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300 c. The contact stated that after refueling to capacity and driving 5 MPH, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the check valve was fractured and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 161,000.
My 2006 chrysler 300 c would just die after filing up with gas - happened on the freeway a few times- very dangerous. The dealer could not find the problem until we saw la times article 5/14/13 - they are fixing but chrysler is not helping with $$ (replacing gas tank) car has only 42k miles.
After filling the vehicle with fuel (not topping off the tank) the car stalled upon leaving the gas station. I was able to restart it after several times but the risk is incredible! The car stalls without warning as traffic was all around me honking and I was nearly being hit from behind!! Once was a fluke I thought and maybe bad gas. I was able to carefully navigate on back streets to the house and never had the problem again until the next fill up. Again I had the stalling problem, lucky for me I had picked a light traffic time to fill up. I switched gas stations after that an now only get gas at shell stations hearing that they had the best gas quality overall. The problem has continued since then every time I fill the tank full. The stalling problem seems to be occurring now two needle widths below the full mark which means something is getting worse. The local chrysler dealership says that there is no recall and the fix is to replace the gas tank due to a faulty value at the top of the tank. The cost is $1,315. The risk of getting hit from behind at any speed is incredible and very real!! I believe chrysler should replace the faulty tanks.
After fill up at gas station ( not topping off), when leaving and coming to a stop at an intersection, car will shut off and have to crank two or three times to start again. It will do this several more times after coming to a stop, once on the road or freeway it will run like nothing is wrong. Once fuel level drops enough it will no longer stall when coming to a stop. Have read in forums that the problem is more than likely a valve that is built in into the tank, making this an expensive fix.
Car stalled after fill up...stalled several times.
The engine abruptly stalls shutting down power steering and brakes while in traffic and oil pressure is reading 0. Turn ignition switch off and car restarts perfectly with nl oil pressures. This has happened twice nearly causing accidents. Would probably be fatal if on interstate. There is absolutely no warning. There was also no error codes stored in the cars computer.
