NHTSA Complaint #10458709 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

THE ENGINE WILL STALL AFTER EVERY FILL-UP. IT STALLS WITHIN 15 SECONDS AFTER STARTING IT UP AT THE GAS STATION. IT WILL THEN STALL REPEATEDLY AT INTERSECTIONS AND EVERY TIME THE CAR COMES TO A STOP. IN ADDITION, IT HAS STALLED WHILE MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS AND MISFIRES AND STUMBLES WHILE AT SPEED. THE STALLING/MISFIRING EPISODES DO NOT OCCUR ONCE 2-3 GALLONS OF GAS HAVE BEEN CONSUMED. THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE BEEN NEARLY REAR ENDED AS TRAFFIC STARTED TO PULL AWAY FROM A GREEN LIGHT, AND ALSO STALLED AT INTERSECTIONS WHILE MAKING RIGHT TURNS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG SINCE THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY CODES OR TSB'S REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE AND THEY FOUND A LOT OF CHATTER ON THEIR MECHANIC HELP WEBSITES. THEY THINK IT MIGHT BE THE EMISSION CONTROL THAT SITS ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THE TOP GAS IN THE TANK IS FLOODING OVER TO THE ENGINE AND STALLING IT OUT. SINCE CHRYSLER NOR ANYONE ELSE CAN SAY WHAT DEFINITIVELY IS GOING ON I HAVE CAUTIOUSLY NOT BEEN FILLING THE TANK. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE NEXT OWNER MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.
