FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Completed x53 extended warranty a year prior at dealership, car still stalls only after putting fuel even though always filling to 3/4-7/8 of tank. Had my children with me Car stalled again today at middle of busy street when about to make a left turn after i filled to 3/4 of a tank. Had dodge dealer in Manteca, CA diagnose after first stall half a year prior and they would not replace faulty new tank. Still had to pay diagnostic fee saying fuel liquid was getting into vapor lines and flooding engine and that new tank is not the issue even though it is allowing fuel liquid to pass through vent valve which caused saturation of vapor canister and purge solenoid and engine stalling. Car only stalls when pumping gas 3/4 tank or above

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
car stalled after filling gas tank. I was driving through an intersection and had to stop for oncoming traffic, when the car stalled and would not immediately restart, it eventually did start after several panic moments of being stuck in the intersection while the light was changing to let opposite traffic proceed. It stalled 2 more times on the way home. Both times I was slowing the car down when this occurred. I have been fearful of driving this car again since this happened. I heard there was a recall from Chrysler for lifetime replacement of gas tank due to a possible control valve shutoff float failure. My vehicle has never had the gas tank or float replaced, but it does not show up for a recall when I enter VIN. What should I do?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
gasket around fuel pump failed allowing gas to pool on top of fuel tank under the back seat on passenger side . this resulted in a strong "gas/fuel" smell from fuel vapors colecting inside the car and the obvious risk of ignition/explosion and negative health effects of breathing said fumes .the vehicle has not been inspected yet because we are afraid to start the vehicle let alone drive it to the shop . We are making araingements to have it towed to the repair shop . we have not had any warning lights . Mechanic said it was a common problem with seal failure around fuel pump . the vehicle has 127,000 miles

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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Yesterday I experienced an SUA incident and nearly lost my life. I was entering a freeway and began to accelerate my car. Suddenly I felt as if the gears kicked and the car began to accelerate on its own to max revolutions. I pressed down on the brakes to see if it would stop and there was heavy resistance. I took my foot on the break and the car began to accelerate and rev completely on its own and the engine felt as if it was going to explode. I luckily was able to jam my foot on the break and pull over to the emergency lane and eventually come to a full stop. From there I put the car in park and removed my foot from the break pedal. Again the car began to jump to full revs with the engine screaming. I turned the car off and on several times and this continued to happen. After waiting one hour I was able to start the car and drive 20 mph back to my home and I will have it towed to a repair shop shortly. If I panicked or was not strong enough to press down on the brake pedal, the car would have accelerated to full speed and I certainly would have died and likely other people would have too.

POWER TRAIN
Vehicle stalls when idling or coming to a stop, mainly at low RPM. No codes are thrown. Gas tank has been replaced and fuel pump is new, still stalls. There are many reports on the Chrysler 300 Forum regarding the same situation. Many people have thrown good money after bad towards parts and still there's issues. I have my car at the Moss Bros Dealership in Riverside Ca. now for 5 days to try and repair this Safety Issue! 3/28/23. Car has stalled approximately 20 times, 4 times which were on the freeway. The car will start up and run fine for several days and then it acts up. Could be a number of things, but with no codes, pretty hard to diagnose the stalling issue.
