FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER REFUELING MY CAR (06 300C SRT8) SEVERAL TIME AT LOW SPEEDS OR AT A STOP THE CAR HAS STALLED AND TOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART. IF THE CAR IS EMPTY AND IS FILLED ONLY TO 3/4 WAYS THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. THE CAR IS AT THE POINT WHEN EVER IT IS FILLED OVER 3/4 MARK AND DEPENDING ON THE DRIVE IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIME UNTIL UNDER 3/4 MARK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
AFTER FILLING THE CHRYSLER UP WITH GAS FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS, MAYBE MORE, THE CAR STARTS AND THEN WITHIN 3 FEET IT SHUTS OFF. THE COMPUTER SAYS THAT THE SYSTEM IS OK. THIS HAPPENS 3 TO FOUR TIMES IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS CAUSED MINOR BUMPER PROBLEMS. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. FINALLY, IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY, INSPECTED BY BETTENHAUSEN, FIAT IN TINLEY PARK, BUT WE NEVER GOT A RESPONSE OR THE PROBLEM ALLEVIATE. IT DID THE SAME THING TODAY ON THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD, THERE WERE NO CARS NEXT TO ME. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE CONSTANTLY STALLS AFTER FUEL FILL UP NO MATTER WHERE I GET GAS IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE LATE OCT NOW AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE LIKE THIS IF I HAVE TO GO OUT OF TOWN. IT STOPS ABOUT 3 TO 5 TIMES AFTER I FILL TANK WITH FUEL THEN AFTER A WHILE IT STOPS. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND I'M CONCERNED AS TO WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
MY VEHICLE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF BUT RECENTLY I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE STALL WHILE RUNNING WHEN I COME TO A STOP LIKE ON A TURNING LANE, AT A STOP SIGN, A SIGNAL LIGHT. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP WHILE RUNNING. WHAT I HAVE NOTICED IS THAT AS I SLOW DOWN FOR A STOP THE IDLE RPM'S DROP DOWN LOW AND MAKE THE CAR STALL AND THE ENGINE STOPS. IF I FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN I'LL PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND REV THE ENGINE TO KEEP THE RPM'S FROM DROPPING OUT AND STALLING. THE STALLING HAS COMPROMISED THE SAFETY OF DRIVING AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN OR IF IT WILL HAPPEN. THE CAR HAS WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO CODE SHOWED UP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE STALLING IN THE SHOP. I ALSO TOOK IT TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC WHERE IT COULD GET SOME REAL ATTENTION AND UNFORTUNATELY HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EITHER. HE DID CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY. I'M WAITING FOR THE CAR TO STALL AGAIN TO RETRIEVE THE SOFT CODE BY TOWING IT DIRECTLY TO THE SHOP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF, DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AND WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED LIGHTING UP AND BLINKING ON THE DASH. IN ADDITION, THE GAUGES ALL DROPPED TO ZERO AND THEN RETURNED AFTER A FEW SECONDS. EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER A FEW SECONDS EXCEPT THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS RETURNED WHEN SWITCHED TO ON INSTEAD OF AUTO (IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE). THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AT 60MPH. AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN, I RESTARTED IT AND THE HEADLIGHTS WORKED PROPERLY IN THE AUTO SETTING AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM REPLICATED ITSELF 2 WEEKS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT. AGAIN, HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
AFTER FUELING VEHICLE, CAR STALLS SEVERAL TIMES SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION. MUST STOP, TURN CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON EACH TIME. AFTER DRIVING AROUND 3-4 MILES, PROBLEM DISSIPATES. ALWAYS FILL CAR ON SLOWEST SETTING ON NOZZLE AND REMOVE WHEN CLICKS OFF ( NEVER OVERFILL). THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BOUGHT THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300C NEW IN 2007 AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL MID 2013. ONE DAY AFTER GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS. IN ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE STATION THE CAR BUCKED THEN STALLED. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET IT STARTED. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT CAME TO A HEAD THIS WEEK WHEN I WENT TO THE GAS STATION FILLED THE TANK AND SOON AFTER LEAVING IT STALLED IN TRAFFIC -I RESTARTED IT AFTER ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT GOT GOING AND IT STALLED AGAIN. I RESTARTED WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY AND ENTERED THE ON RAMP----AS I WAS BUILDING SPEED IT STALLED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AND THIS TIME I WAS SO CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT. NOW I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS INCLUDING THE CANISTER, SOME OIL TEMP/PRESSURE SENSOR, CLEANED INJECTORS,REPLACED PLUGS, A COIL AND TOO MANY TO MENTION. THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT ME LIKE I AM SMOKING CRACK EVER TIME I COMPLAIN. IT WASN'T UNTIL YESTERDAY THAT I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO FIND THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM---I AM NOT CRAZY. HOW DO I GET THIS FIXED??? *TR
