ENGINE, STEERING
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (MORE NOTABLY IN MOIST WEATHER, I.E. RAIN, MORNING DEW, AND HUMIDITY) MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OFF OR VEER ON TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERROR CODES, NOR DOES IT HAVE ANY STORED CODES FROM THE OCCASIONS THAT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE HAS COME UP. THE DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA CLAIM THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND CANNOT ATTRIBUTE IT TO ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR. THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO PROVIDE ME ANY TYPE OF ADVICE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE "SUBJECT TO LEMON LAWS" AND SO FOR THAT FACT I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER IS ATTEMPTING TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO A VERY REAL, VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

SUSPENSION
THE CAR RIDES SMOOTH ON GOOD ROADS BUT ON ROUGH ROADS IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING IS FALLING OFF UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THE BUSHINGS REPLACED AND TIE RODS REPLACED. THE FRONT END SHOP AND MY MECHANIC HAVE BOTH TRIED TO FIND WHAT WAS MAKING ALL THE NOISE AND BANGING AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING THAT IS LOOSE WHEN IT IS ON THE LIFT. I LOVE THE CAR BUT THE NOISES ARE IRRITATING AND EMBARRASSING TO THOSE THAT RIDE WITH ME. COULD NOT GET THE APPROX. DATE TO WORK, IT BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS HELP!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I WOULD FILL UP WITH FUEL AND AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND HAVING TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I RECEIVED A ALERT FROM CHRYSLER LAST YEAR BUT HAVE MISPLACED THE LETTER. IT STATED THAT IF I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE GAS TANK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. I REFUEL THE CAR. THE CAR STARTS FINE. LEAVING THE GAS STATION I SLOW DOWN BEFORE ENTERING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE STALLS. I RESTART THE ENGINE FINE. I PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND IF I MAKE A LEFT TURN, AND APPLY THE BRAKES AFTER ENTERING THE TURN, THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR ALWAYS RESTARTS FINE. HOWEVER, THE CAR WILL THEN STALL AT AN IDLE CONDITION, AS WHEN WAITING FOR A LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. AFTER A FEW RESTARTS, OR PROLONGED DRIVING, THE CONDITION GOES AWAY. HOWEVER, IT SCARES MY WIFE SILLY. I JUST READ THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 AND I AM TAKING THIS CAR TO LINWOOD CHRYSLER THIS TUESDAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE MYSELF, AND TO LET YOU KNOW MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. BY THE WAY, WHEN THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FILLED UP TANK AT GAS STATION AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED, RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY BUT FELT SLUGGISH. STARTED A RIGHT TURN AND ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN! THIS REALLY SCARRED ME AS IT WAS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! I RESTARTED AND STALLED A BLOCK LATER. I TOOK CAR TO A MECHANIC TO TEST GAS AND HE FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. THE CAR RAN FINE THE NEXT DAY. ON 1-17-2015 I STOPPED AT COSTCO TO FILL UP, CAR STALLED IMMEDIATELY AS I STARTED TO PULL AWAY THE GAS STATION. CAR DIED ABOUT 5 OTHER TIMES WITHIN THE PARKING LOT OF COSTCO. THE CAR WOULD RESTART IMMEDIATELY. I DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO THE EXPRESS WAY AND DROVE 35 MILES HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE UNEXPECTED STALLING OF THE ENGINE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IN MY CASE, THIS SECOND TIME I WAS ON A BUSY PARKING LOT ON A SATURDAY WITH CARS TURNING AND CERTAINLY NO ONE EXPECTS A CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, OVER THE YEARS I HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WHERE THE STATION GAS PUMP WOULD STOP EVEN AFTER PUMPING LESS THAN HALF A GALLON. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP AT THE STATION AND I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER PUMP OR ANOTHER STATION AND IT WOULD FILL UP OK. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, THE ENGINE STALLS REPEATEDLY. WHEN IT STALLS, POWER STEERING IS LOST AND CAR COMES TO STOP SOMETIMES IN TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE THEN CRANKS NORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHANGED THE EGR VALVE WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SUGGESTED SHOTGUN APPROACH. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STALLING WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I PULLED OUT IN TRAFFIC AND IT STALLED, BLOCKING TRAFFIC. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO START AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD DIE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN SCOTTSBLUFF, NE AND THEY DON'T SEE AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE GAS TANK, LIKE THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE, LIKE IT MENTIONS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, MY CHRYSLER 300C WOULD OCCASIONALLY STALL. MOSTLY IT WOULD BE AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR WOULD STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I JUST RECENTLY REALIZED, IT WOULD OCCUR WHEN I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS MANY OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS SHOCKING THAT AN ISSUE LIKE THIS COULD GO THIS LONG WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS OR RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS, DUE TO THIS ISSUE... I COULD SEE THIS ISSUE BECOMING MORE OF AN NOTICEABLE PROBLEM, DUE TO THE LOWER GAS PRICES. I USUALLY PUT IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY WHEN I FILL UP. NOT UNTIL MORE RECENTLY, WITH THE LOWER GAS PRICES, THAT AMOUNT FILLS MY TANK. THAT IS WHY IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO REALIZE THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLED AT LOW SPEED. THE DATE INDICATED IS BELIEVED TO BE APPROXIMATELY THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED. IT HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 6 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE LAST BEING ON JAN 2, 2015. THIS LAST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED JUST AFTER FILLING THE TANK, AND WITHIN 1 MILE. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN APPROACHING THE ENTRANCE GATE TO THE HOUSING COMPLEX, AGAIN WHEN ARRIVING AT THE HOUSE, AND ONCE MORE WHILE SITTING IDLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE THE VEHICLE STALLS. IT HAS BECOME A GIVEN THAT AFTER I FILL MY CAR I KNOW AT SOME POINT WITHIN THE FIRST 5-10 MINUTES I WILL START HAVING PROPULSION ISSUES. THE CAR DIES WHEN I'M SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I'M AFRAID TO TRY AND ENTER A FREEWAY DIRECTLY AFTER REFUELING BECAUSE IF I GO TO HIT THE GAS IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TO GO FIND A PARKING LOT AND REV MY ENGINE FOR A WHILE TILL I THINK IT'S SAFE TO PROCEED. I SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS AFTER REFUELING MY CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THE COMPLAINTS AND NHTSA REPORTS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE ANY RECORDS OF ANY FUEL ISSUES WITH THE SRT MODELS SO MY BEST BET WOULD BE TO GO TO MY DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
AFTER FUELING MY CAR TO FULL TANK CAPACITY (93 OCTANE AS ALWAYS) I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND SLOWED DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT (TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 10 MPH). THE ENGINE STALLED AS I CAME TO A FULL STOP. I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND RE-STARTED THE ENGINE. ENGINE STARTED FINE AND I DROVE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES WITH NO FURTHER ISSUE. NOTE: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND ALL OTHER DASH INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE I INSPECTED THE GAS CAP AND VERIFIED THAT IT WAS SECURED TIGHT AND NOT LOOSE. ALSO CHECKED UNDER THE FUEL TANK AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. DID NOT SEE OR SMELL ANYTHING OBVIOUS. *TR
