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.

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.

I was turning right at a stop light, immediately following a gas tank fill, when the engine stalled and power steering and brakes failed. The engine continued to stall during deceleration or when stopped for the next 30 miles.

When I filled the fuel tank the car would stall leaving the service station. Then it started when I was driving slow over rough pavement or speed bumps. At these times I did not realize the car had stalled until I saw the oil light on. The dealership could find nothing wrong with the car but suggested that the oil pressure switch be changed. The problem stilled persisted so I had the car tuned up. Problem still continued and so I stopped buying a particular brand of gas because while leaving the station which is on the incline the car stalled and a bunch of lights came on and one indicated a problem with the gas. I have had the fuel injectors cleaned and stopped topping of the tank but the problem has not gone away. I have to drive two major highways for doctor appointments and cannot afford to have this car stall like this in major traffic. The car will be going along smoothly and then it starts lurching like I am trying to accelerate and brake at the same time. This presents a dangerous situation. The car goes in tomorrow to be checked again.I had driven 25 miles since the last fill and the car acted so erratic that I an afraid to drive it because you can't control where it is going when it stalls (no brakes or power steering.

My 300 c stalls and jerks every time I fill it up now. The car was taken to the dealership and reported several times (midway jeep and chrysler, san diego), and the service writer said they were aware of the problem because they have had a number of complaints. I was told not to fill the car up completely as this might help. It does not !!!! I almost got killed last week when the engine stalled as I was going down hill with the loss of brakes and power steering....!!!!!!!! I called the service writer at midway jeep chrysler and was put into his voice mail. It is interesting that he never returned the call about the complaint. I have made several. What is it going to take for action to be taken ? An injury or death ? I also have witnesses that have been in the car when this has happened.

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the contact heard an extremely loud squealing noise when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but no brake failure was identified. Recently, the vehicle was taken to the dealer again for the same noise; however, no failure could be found. The contact was very discouraged and embarrassed about the loud, annoying squealing noise. She stated that there was no resolution for the brake noise, which was frustrating and an inconvenience to have to continuously take the vehicle to the dealer. The current mileage was 25,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.
