ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Unknown, but based on what I've read and seen others describe happen to them I would say it's somehow connected to the park assist. But my battery loses voltage while driving, the car will start blowing hot or cold air which ever it prefers at the time without any heating or cooling system being turned on, the dash goes crazy the rpms, speedometer and everything else will drop to zero the transmission will start jerking and the service park assist warning will flash on and off repeatedly very fast then the car died while driving on the highway and refused to start even with a jump start. Replaced the battery twice in 2 weeks and the alternator as well and the car continues to do this randomly. No codes show up but the abs light, esp bas lights are on, the brake light will come on every now and then without the brake being pressed and the car seriously just seems to have a mind of it's own.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When car is cranked and put in gear or stop car will go dead. When driving if I ease off gas and then reapply the gas car will stall which can be quite hazardous while driving. The problem was intermittent has been going since I have had the car thought the tank recall would fix the problem which it we thought had corrected the problem for a time. But it became intermittent at first it was every few weeks and now it does it whenever I drive the car several times as I drive recently I am now afraid to try and drive it especially any distance. The gas tank was replaced due to a recall. Have replaced fuel tank and thermostat. My mechanic isn't sure what is going on. I have seen various forums where others are having the same problems with their 2006 Chrysler 300 C's and have taken them back to the dealer and they have not been able to determine what the problem is. I feel this should be investigated.

Once fueled, the engine will consistently stall from start to cruising speed, and has even shut off while driving. There was an issue with Chrysler fuel tanks evap valve sticking open, which causes this fault, however I have not received any assistance from Chrysler or any authorized dealer.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My Fuel Tank is stuck in open position, it is making my car stall, sputter, and cut off. When my gas is very low car doesn't cut off and runs fine, but when I fill car up it stalls and cuts off, this is very dangerous it cuts off at red lights, stop signs, slow traffic, I've seen this is a Warranty/Recall problem with the faulty fuel tanks, with stuck open fuel shutoff valve. My car is running at max fuel because of this problem. It's been like this since I bought car 2 months ago. I need this fixed immediately. And all parts on my car are brand new this Faulty fuel tank is the Culprit

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The car will just shut off while driving or at rest. My safety and other people on the road is unsafe in the vehicle because when it shuts off in the middle of the road the steering wheel is also not working. The car has been to multiple shops with each shop guessing what could be the problem and fixing what they think may be wrong and after 2,000 dollars the car is still stalling out while being drove. No lights or diagnostic test come up with anything that could cause the problem

While driving my Chrysler when I stop at a red light or stop sign the car will simply stall out and die so I put it back in park and recrank it and sometimes it'll die immediately after that and sometimes it'll wait till the next red light or until I'm making next stop. And when the car is in park it'll stall out I'll simply have to crank it right back up sometimes it'll stall out immediately after that and sometimes it'll run for a minute or two and then stall out. But as long as I got my gas my foot on the gas while I'm breaking at the same time it won't die
