FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STALLING AFTER FILL UP AND UNDER ACCELERATION. CAR STALLS OUT AND ALL POWER SYSTEMS FAIL WITHIN MINUTES AFTER REFUELING TO A FULL TANK. CAR IS IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED TWO REAR END CRASHES FROM CARS BEHIND IT WHEN IT SUDDENLY STOPS AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHUT OFF. THIS ALSO HAPPENS DURING ACCELERATION AT 1700 RPM AT ANY TIME. CAR IS ALWAYS IN MOTION. CAR CAN BE RESTARTED AGAIN WITHIN A FEW SECONDS TO 5 MINUTES LATER. PROBLEM STARTED AT 130,000 MILES. POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK, FUEL LINE, FILTER OR STUCK VALVE. MECHANICS SAY THERE IS NO FIX AND TO NOT FILL UP THE GAS TANK.

ENGINE
EVERY TIME I COMPLETELY FILL MY TANK MY CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR DRIVING. AFTER A FEW TIMES RESTARTING THE ENGINE IT WILL BE FINE UNTIL I FILL THE TANK AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOSTLY WHEN THE TANK GOES BELOW 1 QUARTER OF THE TANK. I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS BEFORE FROM OTHER MAKES ABOUT A FUEL FLOAT VALVE IN THE TANK THAT CAN SEND A SIGNAL TO YOUR COMPUTER THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL? THERE IS DEFINITELY A DANGER IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2005 300C STALLS WHILE IN MOTION AND WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, AND IS EXHIBITING PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THOSE DESCRIBED IN YOUR PE13016 REPORT WHICH COVERS A RECALL OF 2006 CHRYSLER 300CS WHICH HAVE THE SAME 19 GALLON TANK AS MY CAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT CONTINUES TO OCCUR. HOW CAN I GET THE CAR REPAIRED (WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE INVOLVES FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT) BY FIAT CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE TO ME? PLEASE RESPOND, THANK YOU *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ACCELERATOR PEDAL GETS STUCK ON CHRYSLER 300 C AND CAR KEEPS ON ACCELERATING. EVEN WHEN SLAMMING THE BRAKES THE CAR KEEPS ACCELERATING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. WE CALLED CHRYSLER TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AND THERE IS NO RECALL OR SOLUTION PROPOSED. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR HAS A 5.7 LITER ENGINE AND ACCELERATION CAN BE VERY FORCEFUL. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE HURT BECAUSE OF THIS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SIMILAR PROBLEM ON OTHER VEHICLES FROM THE CHRYSLER COMPANY BUT NOT FOR THAT VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER FULLY FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE EITHER AT IDLE, OR AT LOW SPEED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT GAVE A CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WITH A FAULT CODE TO CHECK THE FUEL CAP. ON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE FUEL CAP WAS PROPERLY SEATED. NOW, WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS, IT NO LONGER GIVES THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT INDICATION. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS LESS THAN COMPLETELY FULL. THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM NHTSA INVESTIGATED IN 2006 CHRYSLER 300S RESULTING IN CHRYSLER EXTENDING THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY TO LIFETIME COVERAGE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AS WHEN THE CAR DIES, ALL POWER IS LOST TO THE CAR TO INCLUDE STEERING AND BRAKING. TYPICALLY THIS OCCURS AT A STOP LIGHT, BUT COULD HAPPEN IN A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS POSITION.
