ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
When the fuel tank is topped off the vehicle stalls 2-6 times until the excess fuel is burned off. This has happened on the road, in parking lots, intersections, etc. It causes total loss of power & power steering. Additionally, I usually have to shift to Park, Neutral, Reverse, Drive, Reverse, and then drive again in order to get the transmission to lock back in forward gearing. Causing me to have to additionally pull over, or stop, when/wherever the incident occurs.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My Chrysler 2006 300 C smells of heavy oder of fuel inside occupant seating area. upon investigation, found the fuel pump situated behind driver, under back seat, and the modulator is situated behind passenger seat. both fuel and assembly are exposed to occupants, leaking and accumulating pools of fuel. there is no safety barrier between the fuel and occupants! this is a critical DESIGN FAILURE for occupant safety!!! The modulator is made of plastic and exposed to caustic chemicals (fuel) which causes premature corrosive damage exposing all occupants of vehicle to multiple health risks including DEATH!! This vehicle needs to be recalled!!! and not only fix the issue with leaking fuel, the vehicle needs a fire proof barrier between the fuel system and the occupants.

When filling the gas tank to completely full, the engine will die without any warning. Does not happen when the tank is partially filled. Several times after completely filing gas tank, a couple hundred yards from gas station, car suddenly dies. Starts right up again and after driving a few more yards it dies again. It died on me about 5 times in a row. Could be deadly when pulling out into traffic.

AIR BAGS
I was very excited to purchase my 2005 Chrysler 300C, but there was a recall on the airbag which was taken into the dealer and replace but my grandson had accident in March 2018 and the airbag didn’t disengage. I contact the customer service and they said that I should have contact them before the car was removed from the wrecker company but I wasn’t aware that I to notify them. I send them picture of the car and the insurance adjuster can verify that the airbag didn’t disengaged. I'm writing to express my dissatisfaction with the process for recall failure and how to report the incident.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I recently purchased my Chrysler 300C because it had great reviews and was even on top lists of vehicles for this year. Soon after purchasing, I started encountering the dreaded “300 stall”. With two small children in the vehicle, it has died at more red lights than I can count. Not to mention while driving down the highway, trying to pull out of my driveway, or really just various other occasions. In a matter of a little over a month, I have almost been rear ended at least a handful of times. Considering how many people I have discovered has this same issue, there should be some sort of manufacturer solution or at least a public warning not to purchase this vehicle. I bought the vehicle thinking I was getting a top rated safe vehicle for my family and this is not what I am experiencing.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
After filling the car with gasoline, I get a strong odor of gasoline in the cabin of the car. After the fuel level gets to about 7/8 full the issue goes away. After further inspection the odor seems to be strongest in the passenger side aft wheel well. Excessive fuel vapors are harmful to people and could cause explosion or fire.

ENGINE
My Car broke down in a parking lot (drove there completely fine and the heat gauge didn't read the car was overheating). I got my car towed to bryants automotive in Redding CA. The cars upper radiator hose fell off causing my engine to overheat. 0 check engine light, 0 codes shown. I was quoted 10k, and I am basically screwed because I dont have that kind of money. Very disappointing and I would like an investigation into this issue.
