NHTSA Complaint #10554872 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL (NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK) THE CAR STALLED UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE RISK IS INCREDIBLE! THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AS TRAFFIC WAS ALL AROUND ME HONKING AND I WAS NEARLY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND!! ONCE WAS A FLUKE I THOUGHT AND MAYBE BAD GAS. I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY NAVIGATE ON BACK STREETS TO THE HOUSE AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. AGAIN I HAD THE STALLING PROBLEM, LUCKY FOR ME I HAD PICKED A LIGHT TRAFFIC TIME TO FILL UP. I SWITCHED GAS STATIONS AFTER THAT AN NOW ONLY GET GAS AT SHELL STATIONS HEARING THAT THEY HAD THE BEST GAS QUALITY OVERALL. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK FULL. THE STALLING PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING NOW TWO NEEDLE WIDTHS BELOW THE FULL MARK WHICH MEANS SOMETHING IS GETTING WORSE. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK DUE TO A FAULTY VALUE AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. THE COST IS $1,315. THE RISK OF GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND AT ANY SPEED IS INCREDIBLE AND VERY REAL!! I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THE FAULTY TANKS. *TR
