The check engine light of this cars constantly stayed on after countless attemps to "fix" the problem for years. Finally the engine just died. It was serviced repeatedly, with tune ups, spark plug changes, but the engine always misfired shorlty after. The car is just 10 years old. There should never be a problem like this on a high quality vehicle.

Started experiencing problems last year. Car would cut off without warning, cut off while in a turn and I was almost hit by oncoming traffic. Took it to the dealer, dealer stated it was PCM. Had the control module fixed ($1000 repair) and now recently we have been experiencing an issue where the car wants to cut off at all speeds. Today, my husband drove it to the gas station and it cut off on him and then wouldn't start back up. It started up a few min after sitting but traffic was too busy so we were unable to drive it home. It is still parked at the gas station and we are hoping well be able to get it home before having to call a tow truck. Replaced spark plugs 1 1/2 weeks ago because we assumed it was misfiring (when it was wanting to cut off). We've changed the camshaft (prior to having the PCM replaced) and egr valve as well. There is no check engine light but have still attempted to get codes read... No codes. This seems to be an ongoing issue that chrysler needs to take care of. I will never buy another car that chrysler has had a hand in making..... How many complaints need to take place before you realize that this will kill someone... But I guess you'd rather a lawsuit on your hands for a death rather then fixing all these cars the right way. #unsatisfiedbuyer took a shot at this beautiful car and am sadly disappointed 2006 300c 5.7l hemi. Whats the point of having such a beautiful car if you can't even drive it.

On april 9th at approximately 6:00 p.m. I filled my car with fuel until the pump shut off. After replacing the fuel lid I drove about 1/4 mile and stopped at a traffic light to make a left turn. Almost as soon as I stopped the engine started to run rough, as if it were running out of fuel and stopped. I placed the car in neutral, started the engine and drove another block before stopping at another traffic signal. Again, the engine sputtered and stopped. I got it started and reached park manor nursing home and shut the engine off while I went to visit. When I left the nursing home, I went down the driveway and about 1/8 mile to a 5 lane intersection that had a traffic signal. The engine sputtered and stopped again just as the light turned green. I had to quickly put the car in neutral to restart it then carefully let off the gas pedal enough to put the gear shift back in "d" and drive away. This was the first time I experienced any engine stops, but it seems to be pretty dangerous, since you cannot predict when it will happen and nothing seemed to trigger the faults. Each time the engine stopped, I noticed the oil pressure indicator was displayed and watched it rise to normal when the engine started again.

We were on the freeway and in the space of several seconds, we lost rpms, the check engine light came on, then the traction light, then all of the lights, then it died just as we got onto the shoulder. The mechanic had to replace timing belt and water pump just to get it running enough to run the codes. Mechanic reports that there are bent valves and 4 of the cylinders are misfiring.

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 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.

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.

After fueling the car, it stalled unexpectedly. This was about 30,000 miles ago. The problem has gotten more frequent. Now, at 137,000 miles, the car always stalls or tries to stall after fueling. I have adapted to the problem by always fueling up at a station that is adjacent to an onramp. I get the car onto the freeway right away and run it at 65 or so MPH.... To fast for the car to stall. It just runs rough for a few seconds every few minutes for 5 or 10 minutes, then runs fine. It is probably unwise to put a car on the road with a known stall problem, but I could say the same thing about the people at chrysler.

This was the first of several incidences. After fueling, the engine began rough idling. I thought I had just gotten water in my tank. After several minutes the engine seemed to smooth out and I left the gas station and entered a busy intersection. As I entered the intersection, I pressed down on the accelerator and the engine stalled. There were cars all around me as I tried to restart the engine. After several tries, it started and I pulled to the side of the road. The engine ran roughly for several more minutes and once again smoothed out. The stalling can also happen during right turns, but always happens after refueling. My dealer said the problem was the valve on top of the gas tank. When filling the tank, fuel leaks over into the cannister which then floods out the engine. Because the valve and the tank are one unit, the entire tank must be replaced. Since a repair is so expensive, I now do not fill my tank above the 3/4 level.
