While stopped at a stop light, one of the radiator cooling fans (plastic) disintegrated, severely damaging the radiator beyond repair. Engine coolant was quickly lost. We pulled off to the side of the road. We had to replace the cooling fans and radiator.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CHRYSLER 300C CONSTANTLY SMELL LIKE FUEL. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHO CLAIMS HE DIDN'T SMELL ANYTHING. NOW MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I STILL SMELL FUEL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THE CHRYSLER EXPERTS ARE NOT HELPING THE SITUATION. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HELP ME GET IT RESOLVED. I AM NOT ALONE. YOU ANGEL THE FUEL WHETHER THE TANK IS FULL OR NOT. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN.

FUEL VAPOR WAS LEAKING INTO OUR CAR THROUGH AIR VENTS AND FROM FUEL PUMP ITSELF. IT CAUSED THE CAR TO FAIL AND NOT START. HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP, YET SAME THING KEEPS HAPPENING. NOW GASOLINE LEAKS FROM THE OUTSIDE UNDERNEATH THE CAR (WHEN DRIVING, OR PARKED BUT WITH CAR TURNED OVER) WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS NON STOP.

BACK IN FEB.2014 YOU CLOSED AN INVESTIGATION ON THE 2006 CHRYSLER 300C SAYING IT WAS A GAS TANK CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL BECAUSE CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE GAS TANKS. IF YOU WOULD HAVE DONE YOUR JOB RIGHT. YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THERE WAS MORE THEN GAS TANK PROBLEMS. THERE ARE HUNDRED'S OF US STILL HAVING STALL PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIPS DON'T HOW TO FIX THESE VEHICLES. AND CHRYSLER ACTS LIKE THERE'S NO PROBLEM. GO TO WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. THERE ARE 32 COMPLAINTS JUST ON THEIR SITE. THERE'S ALL KIND OF PEOPLE IN CHRYSLER FORUMS THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THEIR ENGINES STALLING WHAT DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU GUYS DO YOUR JOB. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF AND IT'S YOUR JOB TO MAKE SURE THEY DO. ON MY 2006 300C CHRYSLER REPLACED THE GAS TANK AND THE CAR STILL STALLS. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED TWICE BECAUSE THEIR FAILURE TO FIX THEIR MISTAKES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN REFUELING MY CHRYSLER 300C BACK TO FULL CAPACITY IT WILL IMMEDIATELY STALL OUT AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE CAR WILL START RIGHT UP AGAIN NO PROBLEM, AND CONTINUE TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC MULTIPLE TIMES FOLLOWING UNTIL IT BURNS OFF ENOUGH FUEL TO STOP. I ALSO HAVE BEEN SMELLING RAW GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM VARIES. THE ODOR IS HIGHLY POTENT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR. NEVER WITNESSED ANY FLUID LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE CAR OR NOTICEABLY IN FUEL TANK GAUGE UNTIL THIS MORNING, IT WAS LEAKING OUT FROM THE TRIM PANEL UNDERNEATH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE .

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER I REFUEL MY CAR, IT ALWAYS SMELLS LIKE GAS INSIDE THE CAB. I RECENTLY LOOKED TO SEE WHERE IT IS COMING FROM, AND FOUND IT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK SEAT. THE TRANSFER PUMP HAS A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS. GOING 30 MILES AND HIGHER THE TAC WILL DROP TO ZERO AND WITH IN SECONDS THE CAR WILL JERK AND IT'S RUNNING AGAIN. WHEN THE CAR DIES ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH OFF AND ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE LIGHTING BOLT, ALL OF THEM AND WHEN IT'S DONE DOING THIS. THE CHECK ENGINE ISN'T ON. SO YOU CAN'T GET A CODE TO READ. DEC. 28 2020 MY WIFE WENT TO THE STORE AND SHE HAD OUR GRAND DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. SHE WENT TO MAKE A LEFT INTO THE SHOPPING CENTER WHEN THE CAR DIED. THE ON COMING CAR HAD TO SERVE TO KEEP FROM HITTING HER. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. BEEN TO THREE MECHCANICS AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. IF YOU GO TO ANY CHRYSLER 300C FORUMS, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE THE SAME ANSWER DEALERS AND MECHCANICS DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. CAR COMPLAINTS HAS 45 COMPLAINTS ALONE. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, IT WILL. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED OR HURT REAL BAD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
7/11-5/12, I TOOK MY 2006 300C HEMI INTO MY DEALERSHIP FOR MY CAR STALLING AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN IT PAST 1/4 TANK THEN FILL IT UP. I WAS TOLD DIFFERENT REPAIRS WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE. ON 5/4/12 I GOT AN ANSWER IT WAS MY FUEL TANK. MY WARRANTY RAN OUT 12/10 THE DEALER WANTED $1500 TO REPLACE THE TANK. I CONTACTED CHRY CORP EXPLAINED WHAT I HAD BEEN DEALING FOR THE LAST 10 MOS. I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO REPAIR. CHRY OFFERED TO HELP HAD ME PAY A DEDUCTIBLE OF $245. MY MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 57,000. I WAS THANKFUL FOR CHRYSLER HELPING ME OUT. IN 2013 THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK. I CALLED CHRY CORP AGAIN AND THEY SAID YES IT IS A RECALL & OFFERED TO REFUND ME BACK FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE I PAID. NOW IN 2020 MY CAR IS DOING THE EXACT THING, (125K MI) WANTING TO STALL/DOES STALL AFTER I RAN PAST 1/4 TANK, THEN FILL IT UP. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY PRIVATE MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME THIS IS A RECALL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE LIST. I CALLED CHRY CORP EXPLAINED WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING. THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT TAKE 3RD PARTY DIAGNOSIS, I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A CERTIFIED CHRY DEALER. I DID AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS MY FUEL TANK! CHRYSLER CORP SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME MY VIN# DOES NOT QUALIFY, BESIDES THE WARRANTY EXPIRED! ON THE FORUMS I READ SAID THIS RECALL IS A LIFETIME RECALL. I SENT MY WORK ORDERS TO BOTH DEALER & CORPORATE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY FUEL TANK WAS NEVER REPLACED JUST FUEL PUMP. ALL THESE YEARS I NEVER LET GAS TANK GET LOWER THAN 3/4 TANK, IT WAS A HABIT FROM MY PRIOR PROBLEMS. UNTIL 9/14/20 I RAN MY GAS PAST 1/4 TANK AND FILLED UP. AS SOON AS I WAS DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP AT A SIGNAL AND START TO GO. MY CAR WOULD DO THE EXACT SAME THING AS 2011-2012! SENDING ALL MY INFO I WAS STILL DENIED BY CHRYSLER TO FIX FUEL TANK RECALL!! PLEASE HELP, TO REPAIR NOW IT'S $2500!!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL TANK LEAKS FUEL INTO THE CABIN AMY ANY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED MORE THAN HALF WAY UP; THAT OR ANY TIME IT IS MORE THAN A QUARTER FULL AND DRIVEN ON A STEEP HILL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 7 OR 8 YEARS OR MORE NOW...IT STARTED IN AROUND 2012 I THINK, WHEN THE CAR HAD JUST OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT. I AM NEVER ABLE TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK BECAUSE OF IT. , AND IF I NEED TO GO UP OR DOWN A STEEP HILL (AND THERE ARE STEEP HILLS AND DRIVEWAYS ALL OVER THE AREA I LIVE IN), THE FUEL LEAKS INTO THE CAR AND THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG.
