After filling the car with gas, the car starts without any issues and drives off without any problems. As the car slows down whether stopping or turning the car will shut off. In the middle of a turn the car veers into the other lane because there is no power steering. The car has to stopped before it can be restarted. Also if you are entering the interstate after refilling with fuel, the vehicle will reach the desired speed without any problems to merge into traffic, after merging into traffic as soon the desired speed is reach and the motor slows, the car motor will shut off in traffic. This scenario will continue until some gas is burned out of the gas tank. Afterwards the cars runs fine. I took the car to the chrysler dealership several times and they could not find anything wrong. They did not charge me for the inspection because they could find anything wrong.

My chrysler 330 when filling up gas tank ,shuts off frequently when driving..I have no brakes,power steering,& engine shutoff..I was able to pull off highway & roads w/ luck 7 not causing any accidents..I think the federal safety agency # on this issue is-pe-13016..it is a dangerous situation that I hope gets corrected asap..thx for your help...this happen 3 plus times...
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 cut off 3 times in one day for no apparent reason; once while pulling out into oncoming traffic, then after fueling the car and pulling out of the gas station into oncoming traffic, then while driving down the street at about 35 MPH. Fortunately, I safely guided the car to the side of the road to avoid a collision. The dealership replaced 2 sensors (code:p0038)- $501.98. One week later, the car continued to cut off while driving. The dealership codes that came up: p0038, p0058, p0052, p0032, pmc & engine harness,& pmc engine computer - $2000 - declined repairs because sensors (p0038) were just replaced . Chrysler service bulletin 08-34-05 june 30, 2015 addresses this issue. Chrysler corp -michael browsowski says the car (now 56,484 miles) is out of warranty so they owe us nothing, but as a good will gesture, they will pay for 2 parts only - not labor. He admitted that a car cutting off is unacceptable, but refused to cover the entire cost of repair. He also refused to reply to my written complaint in writing. Chrysler continues to shirk their responsibility to recall and repair this manufacturer's defect.

The steering rack has completely cracked on my car. It is cracked all the way around. I had just finished an 800 mile trip and it is likely it cracked some time during the trip. There was no clunk or noticeable noise; I found the crack while changing my oil after the trip. I am concerned as this could have deadly consequences.
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.
This is the fourth time for this incident my car gave no indication it was about to stall no lights on dash board .it appeared that something switch the ignition to the accessory position. Unable to steer, or use the breaks the car stop immediately can not get to a safe place..has been to the chrysler dealer four time this year for other related problems. But chrysler was not able to diagnosis or repair this problem. Was told it would not read a code.it was internal problem. For 21days they kept my car without repair..second visit was 9-10 days with approximately five day with the owner my latest stay was 4days. My car drove approxmate; 50 miles before stalling again. For the first time I use another repair shop other than chrysler. The worker seem well pleased when I stated I would not return with the same problem. I spoke with the manger and could not get the problem solved.
Vehicle stalls in the middle of the road for no apparent reason. Vehicle stalled initially while driving 45 MPH and I lost power steering and had to pull over to the side of the road to restart it. Dealer had vehicle for over 6 months and could not solve the stalling issue. Vehicle currently stalls while sitting at lights etc. Has not stalled lately while driving dealer finally released vehicle to me and basically said there was nothing more they could do as it was a manufacture issue.
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.
I'm having the same problem with the car stalling when I fill up the gas tank all the way. It has happened numerous times and is very dangerous. I pulled out in traffic and it stalled, blocking traffic. It took several times to start again. Very dangerous. I could die. I took it to my local dealership in scottsbluff, ne and they don't see an extended lifetime warranty on the gas tank, like there is supposed to be, like it mentions on the federal safety agency website.
