FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING CAR WITH FUEL AND DRIVE A FEW HUNDRED FEET CAR STARTS BUCKING AND STALLS. RESTARTS AND BUCKS AND STALLS A FEW MORE TIMES THEN RUNS FINE UNTIL NEXT TIME WE FILL UP. WE HAVE STOPPED FILLING CAR UP BUT JUST PUTTING 10 TO 12 GALLONS WHEN WE GET GAS. WE CANNOT FILL THE FUEL TANK UP OR TAKE A SERIOUS CHANCE OF HAVING CAR STALL IN TRAFFIC AS WE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS. I HAVE ASKED BECK CHRYSLER IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR FIX FOR THIS AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANGER NEVER HEARD OF PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS AND ONLY FIX IS TO PAY OVER A $1000.00 FOR A NEW GAS TANK AS THIS IS ONLY FIX. I HAVE REPLACED VAPOR CANISTER AND VAPOR CONTROL VALVE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX THIS FOR NO CHARGE AS IT IS PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM AND ALSO WORRY MY WIFE AND I WILL BE HURT OR KILLED BY THIS FLAW IN THE FUEL TANK. I HOPE WE CAN GET SOME HELP TO GET THIS REPAIRED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER I FILLED THE GAS TANK, I STARTED THE ENGINE, LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER THE CAR STALLED. IT STALLED TWICE BEFORE I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND AS I WAS TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. IT STALLED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I PULLED INTO A SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF THE MAIN TRAFFIC AREA. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF THE ENGINE RUNNING AND DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, THE STALLING STOPPED. I WILL INCLUDE, I DID NOT OVERFILL, I NEVER DO. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED TWICE AND HOPE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLES SPUTTERS, STALLS AND DIES AFTER FILING FUEL TANK. CHRYSLER ENTERED INTO AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM TO RESOLVE YOUR INQUIRY PE13-016. CHRYSLER AGREED AS A RESULT OF THAT INQUIRY TO EXTEND A LIFETIME FUEL -TANK WARRANTY ON THE 153,817 EFFECTED CARS. CHRYSLER WILL NOT HONOR THAT WARRANTY AGREEMENT ON MY VEHICLE.. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ENCOURAGE CHRYSLER TO HONOR THE WARRANTY AND REPLACE MY FUEL TANK AND FAULTY FLOAT VALVE PER THE AGREEMENT THEY ENTERED WITH YOU? PREVIOUSLY I WAS REFERRED TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION WHO INDICATES THIS IS NOT A ISSUE THEY CAN PROVIDE ME ASSISTANCE. WHO ENFORCES THE AGREEMENTS NHTSA HAS MADE WITH CHRYSLER? MY VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FAULTY FLOAT VALVE AND NO ONE IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WANTS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP TO HELP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PULLED INTO A BP GAS STATION TO PURCHASE FILL UP. AFTER FILL UP I PROCEEDED DOWN THE STREET AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT, WAITED FOR GREEN LIGHT, BUT DIDN'T NOTICE CAR HAD SHUT DOWN. PEOPLE BEHIND HONKING BECAUSE I HAD NOT MOVED. CRANKED UP AGAIN, CAR MOVED A LITTLE. SO TWO YOUNG MEN GOT OUT AND PUSHED ME OUT OF THE STREET AS I WAS LITERALLY A SITTING DUCK IN THE STREET. I CALLED SOMEONE TO COME AND CHECK IT OUT AND HE DROVE IT HOME, BUT IT STOPPED ON HIM THREE TIMES BEFORE HE GOT IT HOME. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS HAS BEEN AND ONGOING PROCESS FOR ME SINCE OCTOBER 12, 2012. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT AS LONG AS I DO NOT FILL IT TO THE TOP IT IS OKAY AND WILL COOPERATE. THIS IS NO WAY TO USE A CAR. I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL BUT I KNOW I NEVER RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF ONE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 42141 MILES ON MY CAR SO IT IS HARDLY DRIVEN AND I EXPECTED THIS TO BE MY LAST CAR PURCHASE WITH GAS ISSUES SUCH AS THIS WHO KNOWS. WHEN I GET GAS NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL TO GET IT HOME BEFORE IT CUTS OFF. I CAN ONLY BE THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY; I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT , INJURED OR KILLED. WHAT ARE MY RECOURSES AT THIS LATE DATE. IS RECALL STILL AVAILABLE. PISSED OFF 300C OWNER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT STARTED OCCURRING 12000 MILES AGO. TODAY WAS THE LAST STRAW. AFTER FILLING MY TANK OVER THIS PAST YEAR, I'VE LEARNED THAT I CAN ONLY FILL MY TANK TO 3/4 FULL TO AVOID THE STALLING AND SPUTTERING. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO HAVE MY IGNITION TURNED ON SO THAT I CAN WATCH WHEN THE FUEL GETS TO 3/4. THIS ALONE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD SPARK. TODAY I FILLED IT TO 3/4 FOREVER IT SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP JUST BEFORE IT GOT TO 3/4... WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE FULL INDICATOR WAS FULL. I KNEW THIS MEANT I WOULD HAVE A SCARY RIDE HOME. IT STALLED LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND TWO MORE TIMES WHILE WAITING AT THE FIRST LIGHT. I MADE IT ABOUT A MILE AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND IT CUT OUT AT ABOUT 35. I WAS MAKING THE TURN WITH NO POWER AND ALMOST HIT A POLE. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY ONLY SELECTED VIN NUMBERS WERE SELECTED AGAINST PE13-016. LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND I DID NOT SEE ANY OWNERS WHO'S VINS WERE COVERED. WHERE IS A COPY OF THIS LIST AND HOW MANY VINS WERE ON THIS LIST? CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE A STAND AND OWN UP TO RECALLING ALL VINS FOR THIS MODEL MAKE AND YEAR. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A SELECTED RECALL. I AM DOCUMENTING THIS SAFETY CONCERN EVERYWHERE I CAN AS I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND HOPE SOMEONE TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY AND QUIT BLAMING THE OWNERS OF OVERFILLING THE TANKS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CONCERN AND IT ISN'T WITH OTHER MODELS AN MAKE. OWN UP CHRSYLER! *TR

CAR STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, STALLS WHEN I COME TO A STOP. SOMETIMES STARTS AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN CAR STALLS ON HIGHWAY, HAZARDOUS AVOIDING ACCIDENTS. CAR IS ALWAYS MAINTAINED AS MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR WILL STALL EVERY TIME AFTER I FILL UP THE GAS. YESTERDAY I WENT TO FILL UP THE TANK ( NOT ALL THE WAY FULL ), AFTER I DROVE ABOUT 1 BLOCK, THE CAR STALLED. I HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT 10 MILES BACK HOME AND THE CAR STALLED 8 TIMES ALREADY. IT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL DIE ON ME WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD AND CARS ARE BEHIND ME AND JUST VERY AFRAID OF SOMEONE IS GOING TO STRUCK ME FROM BEHIND WHEN MY CAR DIE ON ME SUDDENLY. *JS

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND SPEED WAS REDUCED TO ABOUT 20 MPH. WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTED TO SPURT AND THEN SHUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT ONCE IT SLOWED DOWN AGAIN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BUT FORTUNATELY THE TRUCK BEHIND ME STOPPED IN TIME. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL SO ONCE THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK FULL THE SHUT DOWNS CEASE. DOES IT TAKE FATAL ACCIDENTS LIKE WHAT GM HAD BEFORE CHRYSLER ISSUES A RECALL? *TR

FILLED UP GAS TANK AND WAS LEAVING STATION AND CAR STALLED OUT. RESTARTED AND PROCEEDED ON BUSY ROADWAY, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS NOT EXPECTING ME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 300C'S OF THIS YEAR (2005). I FOUND THIS TO BE AVOIDABLE BY FILLING THE TANK TO ONLY 3/4. THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION PLAN FOR THE 2006 WITH THIS ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2005 MODEL. I VISITED THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING PROBLEM FOR 300C'S. MY CAR HAS CUT OUT IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND CONTINUES TO BE DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP. *TR

AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C IT WOULD SHUT OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS REFUELED. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STALLING IN THE INTERSECTION. *TR

AFTER I FILL UP MY CAR'S GAS TANK AND DRIVE AWAY, THE CAR WILL STALL AT THE FIRST SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS I REACH. EVENTUALLY IT RUNS FINE ? UNTIL IT'S TIME TO FILL UP THE CAR AGAIN, AT WHICH TIME THE CYCLE REPEATS. MY CAR HAS CUT OUT IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS; ONLY LUCK HAS PREVENTED ME FROM HAVING A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I READ MANY OTHER 300C OWNERS DESCRIBING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL? *TR

THE BELOW ARE INSERTS FROM MY CONTACT AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION, AND THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH STALLING AFTER FILLING WITH MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 SRT8. THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE LISTED AND DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE BLOGS TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION?S ONLINE FORUM TO INDICATE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BY YOUR ORGANIZATION AND THE DEALERSHIPS WHO SERVICE OUR VEHICLES, AND IF YOU WANT TO REALLY WON'T TO ASSIST ME IN ENSURING THAT THIS MATTER IS CORRECTED YOU CAN INSTRUCT AND AUTHORIZE AIRPARK CHRYSLER JEEP TO RESOLVED MY PROBLEM WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY OR THE NEED TO CONTINUE WITH FURTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. AS I STATED ABOVE, THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND FALLS ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO RECTIFY WITHOUT ALL THE RUN-AROUND I AM RECEIVING AT THE MOMENT TO GET THIS ACCOMPLISHED. MY VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK INSTALLED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND YOU CAN ASSIST IN GETTING THIS DONE BY PROVIDING THAT REPLACEMENT AND CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP THAT NEEDS TO DO IT.

I HAD JUST FILLED UP THE TANK AND PULLED ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO A PARKING LOT. AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE CAR DIED. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AFTER ABOUT THREE ATTEMPTS. AFTER LEAVING THE STORE I DROVE HOME AND IT DIED ON ME AT THE END ON THE PARKING LOT AS I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. IT DIED ONCE MORE AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT APPROX. 25 MPH. AFTER I GOT IT HOME, I ALLOWED IT TO IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WITH NO PROBLEM. AFTER EATING DINNER I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION. IT DIED AND TOOK ABOUT FIVE ATTEMPTS TO GET IT RESTARTED. *TR UPDATED 10/1/2014 *JS
