FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FOR THE LAST 30,000+ MILES, EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR STALLS OR ATTEMPTS TO STALL. ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. HE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND NO REPORTED INSTANCES. I'VE LEARNED TO APPLY A LITTLE GAS WHEN I HAVE TO STOP AT RED LIGHTS TO KEEP IT RUNNING. IT WILL STILL STALL OUT. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET EVERY FEW MONTHS TO SEE IF ANYONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND FINALLY FOUND YOUR INVESTIGATION ACTION NUMBER PE13016. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR STALLING AFTER I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. I READ THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT RECALLING FOR THIS REASON SO I JUST READ FORUMS AND TRIED NOT TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK BUT SOMETIMES I FORGET AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STOPPED ON THE WAY HOME TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK. WHEN THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF, I REMOVED THE NOZZLE. I HEARD A GURGLING SOUND IN THE TANK WHICH WAS UNUSUAL. I BEGAN DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION THROUGH THE ADJACENT PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE DIED WITHIN 150 FEET OF DRIVING. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND UPON IT DIED AGAIN WITHIN 15 FEET. RE-STARTED A THIRD TIME AND IT STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND UPON DOING DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOUND THAT THE ROLL OVER VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WAS BAD WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO GET INTO THE EVAP VENT HOSE WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FLOOD AND STALL OUT. SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE TANK WHICH IS ON BACK ORDER TIL JAN 30TH (9 DAYS FROM NOW). THEY ARE EXPECTING IN 130 TANKS AT THE WAREHOUSE WHICH IS SUGGESTING THIS ISSUE IS BECOMING MORE COMMON. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I DROVE TO THE GAS STATION, AND WHEN I WAS DRIVING AROUND THE CORNER THE CAR STALLED. I WAS GOING AROUND 20 MILES PER HOUR. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR BACK ON AFTER A FEW TIMES AND IT JUST WOULDN'T START. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I MANAGED TO START THE CAR BACK ON AND I DROVE IN A NEAR BY SHOPPING CENTER. AS I PULLED UP THE CAR STALLED ONCE AGAIN. I DECIDED TO WAIT ABOUT TEN MORE MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND IT FAILED TO START. I WAITED AN ADDITIONAL 20 MINUTES AND FINALLY IT STARTED WITH A LITTLE HESITATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES NOW. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER I FILL UP (I DO NOT OVERFILL), WITHIN THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES I DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT THAT AT 40-50 MPH IT WILL "HESITATE/JERK" LIKE THERE IS A FUEL MIX ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ABRUPTLY STALLS AS IF SOMEONE JUST TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. AND IT IS NOT A GOOD FEELING WHEN YOU HAVE TO MANEUVER THREE LANES WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. THE CAR MUST BE STOPPED COMPLETELY TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO GET THE CAR GOING TILL IT STALLS AGAIN 6 TIMES TONIGHT JUST TO DRIVE 10 MILES TO GET HOME. NO WARNING YOU CAN BE GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR OR 5 AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING THEY FIXED IT BUT NO HERE IT IS AGAIN STALLING OUT LESS THAN A WEEK FROM BEING AT THE DEALERS. SOME TIMES LESS THAN A DAY AFTER THEY HAVE HAD IT. WHY CANT CHRYSLER FIX THEIR OWN CARS THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT SEEMS NOT TO BE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM IT RUNS GREAT NO SPUTTERING OR JERKING JUST DRIVING ALONG AND ELECTRONICALLY IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. THEY HAVE REPLACED A MULTITUDE OF SENSORS AND THE PCM THE TCM AND SOME PARTS I CANT EVEN NAME AND EACH TIME THEY SAY ITS FIXED AND EACH TIME IT DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, LOST TIME AT WORK I CANT DRIVE MY CAR WITH THE FEELING OF SAFETY OR SECURITY. THE STRESS LEVELS IN MY FAMILY ARE SKY HIGH. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CHRYSLER TO FIX THEIR OWN CAR PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY AND UNJUSTLY BY THIS CAR AND COMPANY. PLEASE IF THEY CANT FIX THEIR OWN CAR WHO CAN? WE AS CONSUMER'S ARE BEING UNFAIRLY VICTIMIZED PLEASE HELP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR! THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 WEEKS, RIGHT AFTER I FUEL UP, I LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN/OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON, THE ENGINE STALLS, I LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER, AND MY CAR IS "DEAD IN THE WATER". IT IS REALLY FRIGHTENING! IT HAPPENED ONCE WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, AND TWO MORE TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING, BUT EACH TIME IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER GETTING GAS. LUCKILY, THESE MULTIPLE STALLING INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR DYING WHILE I AM ON THE FREEWAY, AS IT WOULD SURELY END UP IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. IF OTHER OWNERS OF A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C HEMI HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THROUGH RECALLING THESE VEHICLES FOR REPAIR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED WORKING AS COMING OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER FILLING UP. STEERING WENT HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK, WARNING LIGHT (LUBE OIL CAN) CAME UP. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN, ENGINE STARTED BUT KEPT STALLING. JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN MOVING SLOWLY 0 TO 20 MPH , THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO STALL DURING DECELERATION OR WHEN STOPPED FOR THE NEXT 3 MILES. STALLING OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WILL STALL 2-3 TIMES IN A 5 MINUTE PERIOD. THE VEHICLE PERFORMS CORRECTLY ONCE YOU GET PAST THIS STAGE. MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES - ALL AFTER FILLING TANK. *TR

AFTER RE-FUELING VEHICLE, CAR STALLED AT 5 INTERSECTIONS. VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALWAYS GO BACK INTO GEAR AFTER RESTARTING UNTIL SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE. AFTER BURNING OFF A FEW GALLONS OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER STALLED/MISFIRED. TANK WAS NOT "TOPPED-OFF" WHEN FILLED, IT WAS FILLED UNTIL THE PUMP STOPPED AUTOMATICALLY. STALLING OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FILLED TO FULL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
VEHICLE STALLS SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, MOSTLY WHILE IDLING. AND, IT IS DIFFICULT TO RE-START AFTER STALLING. ENGINE ALSO RUNS "ROUGHER" AFTER FILL-UP. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. TOOK 300C TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK OVERFLOW VALVE. SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE GAS TANK OR NEVER COMPLETELY FILL IT UP. IT SEEMS THAT WITH ALL OF THESE SIMILAR SAFETY COMPLAINTS, CHRYSLER SHOULD FIND AN ALTERNATIVE FIX. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO START. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD RUN PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. THE SOLUTION HAS BEEN TO NOT FILL THE TANK. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM--THE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE IT IN THEIR TEST. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FUELING MY VEHICLE I DROVE ABOUT 300 FEET AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION, AND MY CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT WITHOUT RESTARTING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO RESTART I DROVE FOR ANOTHER 5 MILES AND THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN. AFTER THE SECOND STALL I LET THE CAR SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE AWAY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE, IT HAS HAPPENED 2 OTHER TIMES BEFORE. I FEAR THAT IF THIS KEEPS HAPPENING WITH NO RESOLUTION FROM CHRYSLER PEOPLE MAY HAVE TO REPORT SOMETHING WORSE THAN JUST THE CAR STALLING. *TR

AFTER FUELING, FILLING UP, THE CAR WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES BOTH WHILE STOPPED AND WHILE MOVING SLOWLY (10-15MPH). IF YOU ARE MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 45-70MPH THE CAR WILL CUT OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND THEN RESUME. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 OR 4 TIMES SINCE NOV 2013. IT HAPPENS AFTER THE CARE IS REFUELED. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW AND IT ONLY STARTED THIS BEHAVIOR RECENTLY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER MANY INCIDENTS WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE STALLS MANY TIMES IN APPROXIMATELY THE NEXT 5 MILES, MAKES THE VEHICLE VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. DIFFICULT TO GET THE WHOLE FAMILY AND STATION ATTENDANTS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CAR CAN NOT HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS. TERRIBLE FAILURE THAT IT SEEMS CHRYSLER IS IGNORING... *TR
