FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PREVIOUSLY MADE COMPLAINT THAT AFTER FUELING AT GAS STATION MY CAR WOULD FLOOD AND STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR ENDED BY VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I WAS TOLD BY [XXX] THAT CHRYSLER WOULD BE FIXING THE PROBLEM IN MARCH 2014. TODAY 4-1-2014 I CALLED CHRYSLER WHO STATED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A 2006 300C MY VIN IS NOT COVERED AND THEY DENIED THAT ANY OWNER LETTERS WERE SENT AND THAT I CANT GO BY WHAT NHTSA HAS TO SAY. MY CAR IS STILL DANGEROUS TO OPERATE WHEN FILLED AND I HAVEN'T FILLED IT FOR YEARS PENDING THIS RESOLUTION WHICH THEY NOW REFUSE TO DO. THEREFORE I AM OPENING ANOTHER COMPLAINT AS NOTHING THAT WAS STATED TO ME HAS COME TRUE AND CHRYSLER DENIES EVERYTHING ON YOUR SITE AND REFUSES TO FIX MY CAR WHICH IS CLEARLY A 2006 300C 5.7.

WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY AND IN THE SPACE OF SEVERAL SECONDS, WE LOST RPMS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE TRACTION LIGHT, THEN ALL OF THE LIGHTS, THEN IT DIED JUST AS WE GOT ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP JUST TO GET IT RUNNING ENOUGH TO RUN THE CODES. MECHANIC REPORTS THAT THERE ARE BENT VALVES AND 4 OF THE CYLINDERS ARE MISFIRING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS RANK (NO TOPPING OFF) THE MOTOR WOULD STALL OUT, HAD CAR TOWED TO SERVICE GARAGE ONLY TO FIND THE CAR WOULD START. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES, AFTER THAT IT WOULD OCCUR AT EVERY FILL, IT HAS NOW GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR STALLS OUT BETWEEN 2 AND 10 TIMES, WE DON'T DARE GO ON THE HIGHWAY FOR AT LEAST 1/2 HOUR FOR FEAR OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC! WEB SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL, WAS TOLD REPAIR WOULD REQUIRE REPLACING THE GAS TANK AND FUEL CANISTER BECAUSE FILL PIPE IS TOO HIGH ON FACTORY ORIGINAL TANK? SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECTIVE FACTORY PART THAT NEEDS DEALING WITH FOR SAFETY CONCERNS, THANK YOU MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING AND IT SEEMS DIRECTLY RELATED TO WHEN I FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH GAS. I HAVE A 19 GALLON FUEL TANK. EVERY TIME A FILL THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUES TO STALL (EVEN AT 60 MPH) UNTIL THE GAS STARTS TO EMPTY OUT OF THE TANK. AS THE GAS EMPTIES, IT STALLS LESS AND LESS. AS SOON AS I REFILL, THE PROBLEM STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. I HEARD THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANK MULTIFUNCTIONAL CONTROL VALVE, WHICH SEEMS TO EXACTLY CORRELATE WITH THE ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A USED AUTO DEALER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO FULL THIS VEHICLE STALLS. AT 3/4 FILL IT DOES NOT OCCUR. IN LIGHT OF THE CHEVY COBALT TRAGEDY PERHAPS A PROPER INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DEFECT WILL COMMENCE. THIS ISN'T A NUISANCE "TEMPORARY GLITCH" ISSUE, BECAUSE WHENEVER A CAR LOSES POWER UNEXPECTEDLY IT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A NUISANCE ISSUE. I EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE STALL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ENTERING A FREEWAY JUST AFTER FUELING AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. HALF-BAKED SUGGESTIONS LIKE DON'T FILL THE TANK FULL ARE SILLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC REPAIR RECOMMENDATION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IDLING. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR JERKS SEVERELY AND THEN TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION THAT WAS CLOSED ON FEBRUARY 10, 2014, AND CHRYSLER IS SUPPOSE TO BE OFFERING LIFETIME EXTENDED WARRANTY RELATED TO THIS ISSUES. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN HAVING CHRYSLER ASSIST ME IN MAKING SURE MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STALLING OCCURRED TWICE WHILE DRIVING UNTIL I STARTED TO RESEARCH IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER REFUELING (NOT OVER-FILLING) THE VEHICLE STALLS, BUCKS WHILE IN MOTION, DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE REASON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO THE POINT THE GAS PUMP KICKS OFF. THE DEALER SUGGESTS THE SOLUTION IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK, WHICH IS A TACTIC THAT DOES WORK IF YOU CAN PREDICT HOW FUEL YOU CAN PUMP BEFORE THE SHUT-OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE STALLING IS NOT IMMEDIATE AND WILL OFTEN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING ONCE YOU HAVE ENTERED MOVING TRAFFIC. ON LINE FORUMS SHOW THIS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH 300C OWNERS. APPARENTLY, MANY DEALERS ARE NOW SUGGESTING THE FUEL TANK BE REPLACED AS A SOLUTION. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THIS ACTUALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THIS OCCURRED I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING REAR ENDED BY FOLLOWING TRAFFIC. I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT NO ACCIDENTS HAVE NOT BEEN CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM.. *TR

POWER TRAIN, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP WITH THE CORRECT GASOLINE THE CAR STALLED AND TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AFTER SPUTTERING FOR THE NEXT TEN MILES OR SO. UPON STARTING IT UP IT TAKES TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS STALLED EVERY TIME FOR THE NEXT TEN MILES OR SO AFTER FUELING. IT HAS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF ONCE WHILE TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THERE IS NO WARNING AS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN ONLY AN EXPECTATION THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AFTER EVERY REFUELING. I NOTE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME CAR FOR THE SAME REASON BUT A YEAR YOUNGER - 2006. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

MY CHRYSLER 300C HEMI STARTED IDLING ROUGH AND SHOWING CODE P0300. OIL/PLUGS WERE CHANGED, AND MY CAR WORKED WELL FOR ~500 MILES. AFTER WHICH THE LOW OIL LEVEL LIGHT CHIMMED. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALER THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND ALL WAS RIGHT. CLOSE TO A MONTH LATER, WHILE STOPPED AT A RAIL CROSSING THE CAR STALLED WITH ERROR CODE P1520. I CHECKED THE OIL WHICH WAS LOW AND ADDED TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. IN THE OIL, THERE WAS NO DISCOLORATION OR ANYTHING TO CAUSE ALARM. I STARTED THE ENGINE UP AND WHILE THE P1520 WAS GONE I HAD THE P0300. AFTER REMOVING THE MANIFOLD SMALL ALUMINUM PIECES WHERE FOUND INSIDE. PLUGS THAT WERE CLOSE TO 4K MILES OLD WERE ASH COVERED AND THROTTLE BODY. VALVES AND CYLINDER #3 HEAD NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I COMPLETELY FILL MY GAS TANK, MY CAR WILL STALL FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MILES AT IDLE SPEEDS. SO EVERY TIME I STOP AT A LIGHT, I BASICALLY HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR FOR A MILE OR TWO UNTIL SOME GAS IS USED. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT COMPLETELY AND RESTART THE CAR AS THE CAR WON'T GO INTO GEAR (IE: THE GEARS NEED TO RESET). THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING PERIODICALLY WHILE THE CARE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY WITH GAS. I HAVE A SON AND DAUGHTER THAT ARE STARTING TO DRIVE THIS YEAR, AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO LET THEM DRIVE THIS CAR. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL LONG AGO AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO WONDERING, IF I PAY THE $1,500 TO PUT IN A NEW GAS TANK AND THERE ULTIMATELY IS A RECALL, WILL I BE ABLE TO GET REIMBURSED? THAT WOULD BE VERY USEFUL INFORMATION. THANK YOU. *TR

NEW ENGINE INSTALLED IN 2008: EVERY TIME, AFTER I PUT FUEL INTO THE GAS TANK AND DRIVE AWAY, THE ENGINE SURGES AND THEN STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE 15 MIN TRIP HOME.

RE: EXTENDING WARRANTY ON 19-GALLON FUEL TANK TO LIFE-TIME COVERAGE FOR 2006 CHRYSLER 300C VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 5.7L 8-CYLINDER HEMI ENGINES THAT MAY STALL AFTER REFUELING.(SEE PE13-016). ALLPAR.COM REPORTED TODAY THAT CHRYSLER SPOKESMAN [XXX] CONFIRMED THAT THE LIFETIME WARRANTIES FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES "WILL BE IN PLACE IN MID-APRIL". LOOKS LIKE CHRYSLER IS FINALLY HONORING ITS AGREEMENT REPORTED BY NHTSA (PE13-016) IN FEBRUARY 2014. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR SUDDENLY STALLING AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. IN 2006 CHRYSLER THOUGHT IT WAS THE COMPUTER AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THAT DID NOT WORK. I RETURNED IT MANY TIMES. THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO NEVER FILL UP THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE NHTSA ANNOUNCED THE 19 GALLON GAS TANK FOR THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300 WOULD NOW HAVE A LIFE TIME WARRANTY. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED. SINCE MY CAR IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 WITH A 19 GALLON GAS TANK AND I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 8 YEARS I AM SURPRISED MY CAR WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE NOT COVERED. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE LOOKING INTO THIS FOR ME. *TR
