AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AT VERY LOW SPEED LIMIT, THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES, AFTER A FEW GALLONS OF GAS WERE USED THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ON THREE SEPARATE TIMES BEFORE. I AM CONCERNED I COULD BE INVOLVED IN REAR END ACCIDENT IF THE ENGINE STALLS IN TRAFFIC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD IN MY CITY THE ENGINE STALLED 3 TIMES IN A 5 MILE RANGE FINALLY SHUTTING OFF AGAIN IN A PARKING SPOT AT MY LOCAL GYM THIS IS VERY CONCERNING, BECAUSE THIS PUTS ME AT RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME BUT MIGHT NOT BE THE NEXT. *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN SEPTEMBER, 2010, WHILE DRIVING IT, MY CHRYSLER 300C BEGAN MAKING A CONSTANT WHINING NOISE, ESPECIALLY WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT STOPPED MOVING AND I HAD TO PLACE IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND DRIVE SO IT HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER. SO WE HAD TO PAY $2926.91 TO HAVE IT A TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED. SINCE THEN THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES OVER A SPAN OF 3 YEARS; THE LAST TIME A WEEK AGO (NOT QUITE 7 MONTHS FROM THE LAST TIME). THE DEALER IS NOW TELLING US THAT WE MUST HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH A RAIN PUDDLE AND THAT WATER HAS LEAKED INTO OUT TRANSMISSION FLUID AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS 3 TIMES AND THE PARTS AND LABOR ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *JS

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
CAR STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP. I SWITCHED FILLING STATIONS, BRANDS AND OCTANES. CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW GALLONS WERE USED, THE STALLING WENT AWAY EACH TIME. PROBLEM NOW CONTINUES WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS, OR NO PRESSURE ON THE THROTTLE. WHILE MOVING IT WILL STALL, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND "DING", THEN WHEN I PUMP THE THROTTLE IT WILL CATCH ITSELF AND THE CAR WILL JERK HARD AND ACCELERATE AGAIN. AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ONCE IT STALLS, IT WILL REQUIRE USING THE KEY TO RESTART. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM, THE LAST TIME IN AUG 2013, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD STAYED ON. THEY RESET THE CODES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JS

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY, IT WAS CITY DRIVING EARLY IN THE MORNING. SINCE THEN, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS SITUATIONS WHERE THE CAR HAS STALLED AFTER FILLING UP. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS (I.E. WATER IN MY GAS TANK), HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE VARIED THE FUELING STATIONS AND BRANDS I USE AND HAVE SEEN NO EFFECT. IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER I FILL UP, AND IT SEEMS TO GO AWAY AFTER THE TANK HAS EMPTIED A BIT. THE LATEST ENCOUNTER WAS YESTERDAY (I FILLED UP TWO DAYS PRIOR) WHILE I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE CAR - MULTIPLE STALLS IN MID-DAY CITY TRAFFIC. AND AGAIN THIS MORNING. THE GAS TANK IS STILL QUITE FULL (IT SHOWS OVER "F" ON THE GAUGE). I _NEVER_ TOP OFF WHEN I FILL - I SIMPLY WAIT UNTIL THE FILLER TURNS ITSELF OFF WHEN FILLING. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE FIRST OCCURRENCE IN MID NOVEMBER OF 2012, WHICH I INITIALLY (AS INDICATED) WROTE OFF AS BAD GAS DUE TO HURRICANE SANDY (I FIGURED THE STORM MAY HAVE CAUSED WATER IN THE TANKS OF GAS STATIONS). AFTER HEARING ABOUT NUMEROUS ISSUES ON THIS, I WANTED TO ADD MY EXPERIENCES TO THE GROWING LIST. THE CAR IN QUESTION IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C (HEMI 5.7) WILL STALL AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE CAR DOES RESTART. AT HIGHER SPEEDS (E.G,, 60MPH), THE VEHICLE WILL EXHIBIT A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER (DROP IN RPMS, FOLLOWED BY A CHIME SOUND) AS IF THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO STALL, BEFORE REACCELERATING AGAIN. THE STALLING/LOSS OF POWER ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES, THE CAR WILL OPERATE AS LONG AS A DAY OR TWO WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DEALER PERFORMED A COMPLETE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC - RETRIEVED CODE PO700 - RELATED TO LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH PCM TO MULTIPLE MODULES. (THEY MAY HAVE BEEN OLD STORED CODES.) THEN, THEY CLEARED THE CODES, ROAD TESTED THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER RETURNED THE CAR AND ASKED ME TO MONITOR IT. THEY INDICATED THAT IF THE ISSUE RE-OCCURS, THE VEHICLE WILL POSSIBLY NEED A PCM OR IGNITION SWITCH. MY IMPRESSION IS THAT THEY ARE GUESSING AT WHAT THE ISSUE MAY BE. THE DAY AFTER THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE SAME SUDDEN STALLING/LOSS OF POWER ISSUES RECURRED ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON. I WILL BE RETURNING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM TO DATE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SUDDEN STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM MARRIED WITH A 9 MONTH OLD BABY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I COMPLETELY FILLED UP MY GAS TANK (NOT JUST A TOP OFF) FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES, WHILE IN THE TURNING LANE AND CROSSING TRAFFIC MY CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER TO SAFETY. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND "COAST" TO THE SIDE. LUCKILY I WAS TURNING AT A TURNING LIGHT AND THERE WASN'T HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARED ME! I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. IT WOULDN'T "TURN OVER" THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME TRYING TO START IT, IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE IT WOULD START AND THEN FINALLY STARTED. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON (AFTER THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF) WAS THE OIL LIKE. MY OIL IS COMPLETELY FULL. WAS JUST CHANGED A MONTH AGO USING SYNTHETIC. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 300 C STALLS AND JERKS EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP NOW. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES (MIDWAY JEEP AND CHRYSLER, SAN DIEGO), AND THE SERVICE WRITER SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I WAS TOLD NOT TO FILL THE CAR UP COMPLETELY AS THIS MIGHT HELP. IT DOES NOT !!!! I ALMOST GOT KILLED LAST WEEK WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS GOING DOWN HILL WITH THE LOSS OF BRAKES AND POWER STEERING....!!!!!!!! I CALLED THE SERVICE WRITER AT MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER AND WAS PUT INTO HIS VOICE MAIL. IT IS INTERESTING THAT HE NEVER RETURNED THE CALL ABOUT THE COMPLAINT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN ? AN INJURY OR DEATH ? I ALSO HAVE WITNESSES THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

WE FILLED UP THE TANK, NOT TOPPING OFF, AND HEADED HOME. THE CAR WAS RUNNING SMOOTHLY, HESITATED AND STALLED. NO ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS, ETC. IT ALSO STALLED SETTING AT A RED LIGHT AND AT VARIOUS OTHER SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED AGAIN AFTER EVERY FILL UP SINCE. IF YOU PUT IN PARK IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP. CHRYSLER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR DENY A PROBLEM WHEN CONTACTED. I WAS TOLD TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND CALL THEM BACK. ONE SERVICE REP, AT THE DEALERSHIP, ACKNOWLEDGE A COUPLE OF OTHERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM THE CAR IS CURRENTLY THERE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. WE KEEP OUR VEHICLES SERVICES, SO THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM. *TR

JUST FILLED UP CAR AT GAS STATION (DON'T TOP OFF) EXITED LOT AND PROCEEDED ON ROAD WAY AND CAR JUST DIED.LOST ALL POWER, HAD JUST GOTTEN UP TO ABOUT 15 MPH.TOWED TO DEALERSHIP (. WAS TOLD TO REPLACE CAM-CRANK SENSOR). TOW SERVICE $80.00 WORK DONE $760.00. NEXT INCIDENT, DECEMBER 3, 2012, JUST FILLED CAR UP (NOT TOPPING OFF) SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, TOW SERVICE $80.00. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE EVAP CANISTER AND PURGE SOLENOID. COST TO REPLACE $630.89. LATEST INCIDENT WAS ON JULY 5, 2013 FILLED UP AT STATION , SAME AS BEFORE, THIS TIME THE CAR DIED ON THE FREEWAY. TOOK 3 POLICE OFFICERS TO PUSH MY CAR OFF THE FREEWAY AND OUT OF HARMS WAY. ONCE AGAIN HAD THE CAR TOWED ($100.00 THIS TIME) TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. TODAY IS JULY 31, 2013 AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND THE VENTS IN THE GAS TANK ARE CLOGGED. THE COST TO ME WILL BE $1,800.00 TO REPLACE AND ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER LARGE EXPENSE. UNTIL MY BOYFRIEND BROUGHT IN SOME PAPERWORK HE FOUND ON A "CHRYSLER FORUM"( INDICATING THAT THERE WERE OVER 92 PEOPLE THAT HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ) THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE AND THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. WE ASKED THEM TO TAKE SOME OF THE GAS OUT OF THE TANK AND TAKE THE CAR TO THE GAS STATION AND FILL UP THE CAR. WELL AFTER GETTING GAS THE CAR DIED ON THE SERVICE REPS. NOT JUST ONCE BUT 3 TIMES. THIS WHOLE TIME THEY HAD MY CAR, NOT ONCE DID ANY CODES SHOW UP. WORK ON MY CAR IS NOW PENDING. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHRYSLER, THIS WAS MY DREAM CAR AND I CAN'T EVEN ENJOY IT. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 23,000 MILES AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER DOES NOT RECALL THESE CARS. MY CONFIDENCE AND SATISFACTION WITH THE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS IS AT AN ALL TIME LOW. *TR

AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C ON JULY 6TH, 2013, THE SALESMAN FILLED THE CAR UP WITH GAS. HE HAD THE CAR RUNNING & BEFORE I COULD GET IN THE CAR, IT SWITCHED ITSELF OFF, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS AFTER THE FIRST TIME I FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS, WHICH WAS JULY 26TH, I DROVE TO MY NEXT STOP & MY CAR SWITCHED OFF WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE. THE NEXT TIME WAS JULY 29TH, MY HUSBAND FILLED THE CAR UP & THE CAR SWITCHED OFF TWICE!!! THE NEXT TIME WAS THE NEXT DAY, JULY 30TH, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT & THE CAR SWITCHED OFF. I HAVE NOT MADE THE 1ST PAYMENT ON THE CAR, HOWEVER, I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!! *TR

AS REPORTED WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS, CAR WILL STALL AFTER REFUELING. YESTERDAY IT STALLED THREE TIMES WHILE REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLYING THE BRAKE. IT ALSO STALLED WHILE TURNING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHICH PROMPTED ME TO DIG INTO THIS FURTHER SINCE PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM HAVE NOT WORKED!. VISITED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TODAY AND SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON NOR COULD THEY FIND ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO THE ISSUE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE ONLY QUESTION I WAS ASKED WAS THAT IF I TOPPED THE FUEL AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. I RESPONDED THAT I DID NOT AND IF I DID WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD THAT MAKE. PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS, AND IN THOSE MONTHS THE DEALERSHIP RE-FLASHED THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, I HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, REPLACED ALL THE FLUIDS, AND REPLACED THE PCV VALVE. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND WOULD LIKE TO SEEK SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT WITHIN 3 MILES AFTER REFUELING (FULL TANK). FORTUNATELY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AHEAD OF ME, AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST INTO A PARKING SPACE STRAIGHT AHEAD. AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER OWNERS, I LOST ALL POWER "EVERYTHING" STEERING, ETC. VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY SUSPECTED THE TROUBLE WAS RELATED TO A FULL FUEL TANK AND FAILING VAPOR VENT VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. I'M PARAPHRASING HERE BUT AS I UNDERSTOOD IT, LIQUID FUEL WAS BREACHING THE VENT VALVE WHEN TYPICALLY ONLY VAPORS ARE VENTED. REMEDY: REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. AN EXPENSIVE SOLUTION FOR WHAT IS SEEMINGLY A DEFECT EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS. THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED, AND ONCE THE PART ARRIVED, I WAS TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK WITH AS LITTLE FUEL AS POSSIBLE IN THE TANK. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, I COULDN'T TIME THE RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY APPOINTMENT SO I HAD TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. I PURPOSELY DID NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK TO FULL, AND CONSEQUENTLY, DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY SUBSEQUENT STALLING UNTIL I COULD RETURN THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR STALLS WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN/U TURN OR HARD STOP/START. THE CAR WILL STALL AND THE ESP/BASS AND OIL LIGHTS COME ON. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL THE KEY HAS BEEN TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE DEALER ALWAYS TELLS ME IT IS OPERATING NORMALLY. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND WAS JUST LIVING WITH IT AFTER THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF WARRANTY. IT WAS ONLY AFTER I READ ANOTHER PERSON'S ACCOUNT ONLINE THAT I REALIZED IT WAS HAPPENING AFTER A FUEL FILL (I DO NOT TOP OFF MY TANK). AFTER LEARNING THIS, I CAN NOW MAKE THE CAR STALL ON DEMAND. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FILL IT UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, THEN MAKE A HARD TURN BACK AND FORTH AND THE CAR STALLS. IF YOU PULL OUT FROM THE GAS STATION SLOWLY AND MAKE NO SHARP MOVEMENTS, THE CAR WILL NOT STALL. THE DANGEROUS PART OF THIS IS IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL. *TR

ENGINE
ON 4 OCCASIONS SINCE DECEMBER 2012 (I PURCHASED IT 6/2012), MY CAR HAS STALLED AFTER FILL UP, ON ONE OF THE THREE OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. ALL FOUR TIMES THAT THE CAR STALLED, IT WAS WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND TURNING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TURNING ON TO A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN DAYTONA BEACH, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I DO NOT OVERFILL MY TANK, I ONLY FILL IT UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS ITSELF OFF. I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE CODES CHECKED AND THERE IS NOT INDICATION OF ANY REASON FOR THE STALL. I HAVE TWO CODES, ONE FOR AN AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR, AND ONE FOR AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. NEITHER OF THOSE SHOULD HAVE CAUSE A RANDOM STALL WITH NO WARNING. MY CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED, AND BABIED. *TR
