FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER REFUELING NORMALLY, VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING FOR APPROXIMATELY THE NEXT 10-20 MILES DRIVEN. CHRYSLER INTERNET FORUM MEMBERS CITE A BAD VALVE IN THE FUEL EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND THE CORRECTIVE MEASURE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK FOR A COST OF $700. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING, IT CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

CHRYSLER 300C 2005 WILL COMPLETELY DIE UPON FILLING TANK WITH FUEL. WILL RESTART AND DIE 1 OR 2 MORE TIMES THEN RUN FINE. MY CONCERN IS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. SOLUTION CHANGE GAS TANK WHICH CHRYLSER REFUSES TO DO WITHOUT CUSTOMER PAYING FOR IT. I FEEL A RECALL IS NEEDED BEFORE SOMEONE IT INJURED OR POSSIBLY KILLED. FILED A COMPLAINT, HAVE A CASE NUMBER NOTHING RESOLVED. I FEEL A SOLUTION IS NECESSARY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FROM TIME OF PURCHASE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLS AFTER 1-2 MINUTES. RESTART AND STALLS AGAIN. GOES ON FOR FIRST 10 MILES AFTER REFILL. THIS HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL UP. ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IS TO FILL TANK AT 80% OR LESS. CHECKED THE INTERNET (CHRYSLER 300C STALLING) AND I FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAD TO SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
2005 CHRYSLER 300C W/ 5.7L WHILE DRIVING @ APPROX 35MPH, VEHICLE WOULD DROP OUT OF GEAR AS IF IN NEUTRAL, CHECK ENG LIGHT CAME ON, SETTING P700 & P701 PLUS EGR PROB. IF CAR WAS STEERED TO SAFE AREA AND TURNED OFF THEN RE-STARTED, PROB WOULD MOMENTARILY RESOLVE ITSELF BECOMING INTERMITTENT @ VARIOUS SPEEDS OR ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS. R&R OF EGR ASSEMBLY AND CLEANING, THEN CLEARING OF CODES SEEMS TO HAVE RESOLVED THE PROB. PROBLEM STARTED ON OCT 16, 2010, REPAIR PERFORMED ON OCTOBER 19, 2010 AND HAS NOT RETURNED. THIS COULD BECOME AN ISSUE W/ OTHER VEHICLES OF SAME MAKE & MODEL, DUE TO P701 IS STATING PROBLEM W/ TRANSMISSION MODULE. *TR

#10364850November 5, 2010
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FUELING FOR APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES AND SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT IS NEVER KNOWN WHEN OR WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL LEAVE YOU DISABLED. MY CAR HAS STALLED MANY, MANY TIMES, ON THE ROAD, AT INTERSECTIONS, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, AT STOP LIGHTS, ON RAILROAD TRACKS, ON FREEWAY ON RAMPS AND OFF RAMPS, PARKING LOTS, AND ANYWHERE ELSE IT SO CHOOSES. I TALKED TO MECHANICS AND I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FLAT TOP FUEL TANK DESIGN, REQUIRING THE FUEL TANK TO BE REPLACED, BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER 300C OWNERS. PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
