FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PREVIOUSLY MADE COMPLAINT THAT AFTER FUELING AT GAS STATION MY CAR WOULD FLOOD AND STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR ENDED BY VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I WAS TOLD BY [XXX] THAT CHRYSLER WOULD BE FIXING THE PROBLEM IN MARCH 2014. TODAY 4-1-2014 I CALLED CHRYSLER WHO STATED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A 2006 300C MY VIN IS NOT COVERED AND THEY DENIED THAT ANY OWNER LETTERS WERE SENT AND THAT I CANT GO BY WHAT NHTSA HAS TO SAY. MY CAR IS STILL DANGEROUS TO OPERATE WHEN FILLED AND I HAVEN'T FILLED IT FOR YEARS PENDING THIS RESOLUTION WHICH THEY NOW REFUSE TO DO. THEREFORE I AM OPENING ANOTHER COMPLAINT AS NOTHING THAT WAS STATED TO ME HAS COME TRUE AND CHRYSLER DENIES EVERYTHING ON YOUR SITE AND REFUSES TO FIX MY CAR WHICH IS CLEARLY A 2006 300C 5.7.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS RANK (NO TOPPING OFF) THE MOTOR WOULD STALL OUT, HAD CAR TOWED TO SERVICE GARAGE ONLY TO FIND THE CAR WOULD START. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES, AFTER THAT IT WOULD OCCUR AT EVERY FILL, IT HAS NOW GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR STALLS OUT BETWEEN 2 AND 10 TIMES, WE DON'T DARE GO ON THE HIGHWAY FOR AT LEAST 1/2 HOUR FOR FEAR OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC! WEB SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL, WAS TOLD REPAIR WOULD REQUIRE REPLACING THE GAS TANK AND FUEL CANISTER BECAUSE FILL PIPE IS TOO HIGH ON FACTORY ORIGINAL TANK? SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECTIVE FACTORY PART THAT NEEDS DEALING WITH FOR SAFETY CONCERNS, THANK YOU MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IDLING. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR JERKS SEVERELY AND THEN TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION THAT WAS CLOSED ON FEBRUARY 10, 2014, AND CHRYSLER IS SUPPOSE TO BE OFFERING LIFETIME EXTENDED WARRANTY RELATED TO THIS ISSUES. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN HAVING CHRYSLER ASSIST ME IN MAKING SURE MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STALLING OCCURRED TWICE WHILE DRIVING UNTIL I STARTED TO RESEARCH IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER REFUELING (NOT OVER-FILLING) THE VEHICLE STALLS, BUCKS WHILE IN MOTION, DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE REASON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO THE POINT THE GAS PUMP KICKS OFF. THE DEALER SUGGESTS THE SOLUTION IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK, WHICH IS A TACTIC THAT DOES WORK IF YOU CAN PREDICT HOW FUEL YOU CAN PUMP BEFORE THE SHUT-OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE STALLING IS NOT IMMEDIATE AND WILL OFTEN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING ONCE YOU HAVE ENTERED MOVING TRAFFIC. ON LINE FORUMS SHOW THIS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH 300C OWNERS. APPARENTLY, MANY DEALERS ARE NOW SUGGESTING THE FUEL TANK BE REPLACED AS A SOLUTION. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THIS ACTUALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THIS OCCURRED I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING REAR ENDED BY FOLLOWING TRAFFIC. I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT NO ACCIDENTS HAVE NOT BEEN CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM.. *TR

MY CHRYSLER 300C HEMI STARTED IDLING ROUGH AND SHOWING CODE P0300. OIL/PLUGS WERE CHANGED, AND MY CAR WORKED WELL FOR ~500 MILES. AFTER WHICH THE LOW OIL LEVEL LIGHT CHIMMED. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALER THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND ALL WAS RIGHT. CLOSE TO A MONTH LATER, WHILE STOPPED AT A RAIL CROSSING THE CAR STALLED WITH ERROR CODE P1520. I CHECKED THE OIL WHICH WAS LOW AND ADDED TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. IN THE OIL, THERE WAS NO DISCOLORATION OR ANYTHING TO CAUSE ALARM. I STARTED THE ENGINE UP AND WHILE THE P1520 WAS GONE I HAD THE P0300. AFTER REMOVING THE MANIFOLD SMALL ALUMINUM PIECES WHERE FOUND INSIDE. PLUGS THAT WERE CLOSE TO 4K MILES OLD WERE ASH COVERED AND THROTTLE BODY. VALVES AND CYLINDER #3 HEAD NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

RE: EXTENDING WARRANTY ON 19-GALLON FUEL TANK TO LIFE-TIME COVERAGE FOR 2006 CHRYSLER 300C VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 5.7L 8-CYLINDER HEMI ENGINES THAT MAY STALL AFTER REFUELING.(SEE PE13-016). ALLPAR.COM REPORTED TODAY THAT CHRYSLER SPOKESMAN [XXX] CONFIRMED THAT THE LIFETIME WARRANTIES FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES "WILL BE IN PLACE IN MID-APRIL". LOOKS LIKE CHRYSLER IS FINALLY HONORING ITS AGREEMENT REPORTED BY NHTSA (PE13-016) IN FEBRUARY 2014. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SUDDENLY STALLING AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. IN 2006 CHRYSLER THOUGHT IT WAS THE COMPUTER AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THAT DID NOT WORK. I RETURNED IT MANY TIMES. THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO NEVER FILL UP THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE NHTSA ANNOUNCED THE 19 GALLON GAS TANK FOR THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300 WOULD NOW HAVE A LIFE TIME WARRANTY. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED. SINCE MY CAR IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 WITH A 19 GALLON GAS TANK AND I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 8 YEARS I AM SURPRISED MY CAR WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE NOT COVERED. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS FOR ME. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFULING CAR, DEPARTED GAS STATION AND CAR STALLED COMPLETELY WHEN IN MIDDLE OF LEFT HAND TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. PLACED CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT. DEPARTED AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN 100 YARDS AWAY FROM TURN. CAR DIED AGAIN. PLACED CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT. IT RAN SLOWLY FOR 50 YARDS OR SO AND DIED AGAIN WHILE SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC. RESTARTED THE CAR IN TRAFFIC AND IT RAN FINE FOR 1/4 MILE WHEN IT DIED COMPLETELY AGAIN AT A STOP LIGHT. AGAIN, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT GOING WITHOUT STOPPING FOR 3-4 MILES. HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE TURNING OFF THE ENGINE OVERNIGHT. *TR

RE: PE-13-016 COVERING 2006 CHRYSLER 300C VEHICLES WITH 5.7 L HEMI ENGINES THAT MAY STALL AFTER REFUELING I SPOKE TODAY BY PHONE WITH "[XXX]", A SUPERVISOR WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE (1-800-992-1997 AND 1-905-440-7694). HE TOLD ME THAT CONTRARY TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT IN ODI RESUME (PE13-016), CHRYSLER DID NOT BEGIN MAILING LETTERS IN JANUARY 2014 TO THE 153,817 OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES EXTENDING THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON 19-GALLON FUEL TANKS TO LIFETIME COVERAGE, HE TOLD ME THAT THE MAILING (INOT-PE130016-58863.PDF) WOULD IN FACT BEGIN IN APRIL 2014. OWNERS OF THE 153,817 AFFECTED VEHICLES SHOULD LOOK TO RECEIVE THIS LETTER IN APRIL 2014. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP WITH FUEL THE CAR STALLED AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT ALSO SPUTTERED AND WANTED TO QUIT RUNNING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO LUSTINE CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, AND RAM LTD. IN WOODBRIDGE. WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL TANK AND CARBON CANISTER NEEDS REPLACED BECAUSE SOME FLAPPER IS BAD ALLOWING FUEL TO ENTER THE CANISTER ON FILL-UPS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER REFILLING MY GAS TANK TO FULL, MY ENGINE STALLS FORCING ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY ENGINE. THIS OCCURS ONLY AFTER REFILLING MY GAS TANK AND LAST FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 10 MILES OR SO. ANOTHER KEY POINT IS THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS AT LOW RPM USUALLY WHILE I'M DECELERATING BETWEEN 5~10MPH. I SEE THAT THESE SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY MANY PEOPLE. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WHEN I'VE CALLED THE (800#) AND VISITED MY LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF CHRYSLERS ACKNOWLEDGMENT. IS THIS A TRUE EXTENDED WARRANTY? WHY WAS THIS INVESTIGATION CLOSED? *TR
