STEERING, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FUELING UP MY CHRYSLER 300C, MY CAR STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN (APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES AFTER FILL UP). LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK AT THE TIME, SO I WAS ONLY GOING 5-10 MPH. UNFORTUNATELY, THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FROZE AND I WAS UNABLE TO PARK THE CAR, SO THE CAR WAS RESTING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF OTHER CARS DRIVING IN THE LOT. ALSO, I CAME TWO INCHES FROM HITTING A TREE SINCE I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR AWAY FROM ANY OBJECTS IN MY PATH. THANK GOODNESS THE BREAKS STILL WORKED. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER APPROX. 10 MINUTES OF RESTING THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT, THE CAR RESTARTED WITH A "POP" NOISE. ONCE WE GOT THE CAR STARTED, I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT IN A SAFE SPOT. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS AND IT REALLY HAS ME FREAKED OUT TO THINK THAT WE COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SHOULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY, THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN, MYSELF AND ANY OTHER INNOCENT PERSON ON THE ROAD HAS ME CONCERNED. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, AND I NEVER TOPPED OFF THE TANK. PLEASE RECALL THE FUEL TANK ON THESE CARS AS THEY ARE NOT SAFE. ALSO, PLEASE INCLUDE THE 2005 YEAR IN YOUR INVESTIGATION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AGO, VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AFTER REFUELING. EVERY REFUEL SINCE WITHOUT FAIL THE VEHICLE STALLS. STALLING OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WILL STALL 2-3 TIMES IN A 5 MINUTES PERIOD. THE VEHICLE PERFORMS CORRECTLY ONCE YOU GET PAST THIS STAGE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH (INTERNET) THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER 2006 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS (INCL TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VAN) EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. IT APPEARS THE SEPARATOR VALVE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IS THE CULPRIT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL (NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK) THE CAR STALLED UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE RISK IS INCREDIBLE! THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AS TRAFFIC WAS ALL AROUND ME HONKING AND I WAS NEARLY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND!! ONCE WAS A FLUKE I THOUGHT AND MAYBE BAD GAS. I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY NAVIGATE ON BACK STREETS TO THE HOUSE AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. AGAIN I HAD THE STALLING PROBLEM, LUCKY FOR ME I HAD PICKED A LIGHT TRAFFIC TIME TO FILL UP. I SWITCHED GAS STATIONS AFTER THAT AN NOW ONLY GET GAS AT SHELL STATIONS HEARING THAT THEY HAD THE BEST GAS QUALITY OVERALL. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK FULL. THE STALLING PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING NOW TWO NEEDLE WIDTHS BELOW THE FULL MARK WHICH MEANS SOMETHING IS GETTING WORSE. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK DUE TO A FAULTY VALUE AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. THE COST IS $1,315. THE RISK OF GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AT ANY SPEED IS INCREDIBLE AND VERY REAL!! I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THE FAULTY TANKS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER REFUELING AND LEAVING FUELING LOCATION; ENGINE STALLED. WOULD RESTART AND COULD DRIVE SHORT DISTANCE AND DIES AGAIN. IT DOES THIS 3/8 TIMES AND THEN BEGINS TO RUN NORMALLY UNTIL NEXT FUEL UP. (LAST 3 FUELUPS, SO FAR) I DON'T TOP OFF AND I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE GAS CAP IS TIGHT. TOOK IT INTO DEALER ON NOVEMBER 13 TO REVIEW THE ISSUE. GOT A CALL BACK THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A "CODE" ISSUE IN FUEL BUT WANTED TO CHECK OUT THE TORQUE MANAGEMENT. I LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND ASKED TO GET THE CAR BACK. THE MOST COMMON THREAD ONLINE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH EVAPORATION SYSTEM. NOT SURE HOW TO CHECK IT OUT. MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT HAS NOW STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT---- *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AS ALWAYS, STARTED MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY WHILE PULLING AWAY IT STALLED THAN DIED. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND MADE IT INTO THE INTERSECTION AND IT STALLED AND DIED AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN WHILE IN TRAFFIC ABOUT 10 MILES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED OUT AND NO ONE COULD GIVE ME ANY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PROBLEM. I WENT ON LINE AND COME TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL NOR HELP. I LEARNED THAT OTHERS STOPPED FILLING THEIR CAR UP AND THAT SEEMED TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND I WORRY ALL THE TIME FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. SOME HAVE CHANGED THE GAS TANK HOWEVER THIS HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE RIGHT THING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING MY CAR AT A SERVICE STATION UNTIL THE FIRST TIME THE FUEL PUMP CLICKED OFF I ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE THE SERVICE STATION AND AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE MY CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT START FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 ATTEMPTS. IF TRAFFIC WOULD HAVE BEEN HEAVIER THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AS I LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE CAR FROM STEERING TO BRAKING WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT-OFF. AFTER RUNNING ROUGH FOR SEVERAL MILES AND SEVERAL MORE STALLS THE PROBLEM FIXED ITSELF. THIS NOW OCCURS AFTER EVERYTIME I SERVICE MY CAR WITH FUEL AND HAS BECOME A RITUAL UNLESS I TAKE THE TIME TO CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED FUEL REMAINING IN THE TANK AND SUBTRACT IT FROM THE TOTAL CAPACITY THEN ONLY ADD ENOUGH FUEL TO TAKE ME UP TO TWO GALLONS FROM FULL. DIDN'T REALIZE I NEEDED TO BE A MATH WIZARD TO OWN A CHRYSLER 300C. NOW THAT I KNOW THIS IS A REPEATABLE PROBLEM I MUST TELL ANYONE WHO I LOAN MY CAR TO OR THEY COULD FACE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT SINCE THIS HAS NOT BEEN PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY CHRYSLER AS A RECURRING AND PREDICTABLE PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR BOUGHT NEW IN MAY 2004 AND IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED TO MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. *LN *TR
