NHTSA Complaint #10548177 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

WHEN I FILLED THE FUEL TANK THE CAR WOULD STALL LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION. THEN IT STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOW OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT OR SPEED BUMPS. AT THESE TIMES I DID NOT REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED UNTIL I SAW THE OIL LIGHT ON. THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT SUGGESTED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH BE CHANGED. THE PROBLEM STILLED PERSISTED SO I HAD THE CAR TUNED UP. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED AND SO I STOPPED BUYING A PARTICULAR BRAND OF GAS BECAUSE WHILE LEAVING THE STATION WHICH IS ON THE INCLINE THE CAR STALLED AND A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON AND ONE INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED AND STOPPED TOPPING OF THE TANK BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY. I HAVE TO DRIVE TWO MAJOR HIGHWAYS FOR DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS CAR STALL LIKE THIS IN MAJOR TRAFFIC. THE CAR WILL BE GOING ALONG SMOOTHLY AND THEN IT STARTS LURCHING LIKE I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR GOES IN TOMORROW TO BE CHECKED AGAIN.I HAD DRIVEN 25 MILES SINCE THE LAST FILL AND THE CAR ACTED SO ERRATIC THAT I AN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHERE IT IS GOING WHEN IT STALLS (NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. *TR
