NHTSA Complaint #10676304 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300C

FILLED UP TANK AT GAS STATION AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED, RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY BUT FELT SLUGGISH. STARTED A RIGHT TURN AND ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN! THIS REALLY SCARRED ME AS IT WAS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! I RESTARTED AND STALLED A BLOCK LATER. I TOOK CAR TO A MECHANIC TO TEST GAS AND HE FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. THE CAR RAN FINE THE NEXT DAY. ON 1-17-2015 I STOPPED AT COSTCO TO FILL UP, CAR STALLED IMMEDIATELY AS I STARTED TO PULL AWAY THE GAS STATION. CAR DIED ABOUT 5 OTHER TIMES WITHIN THE PARKING LOT OF COSTCO. THE CAR WOULD RESTART IMMEDIATELY. I DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO THE EXPRESS WAY AND DROVE 35 MILES HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE UNEXPECTED STALLING OF THE ENGINE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IN MY CASE, THIS SECOND TIME I WAS ON A BUSY PARKING LOT ON A SATURDAY WITH CARS TURNING AND CERTAINLY NO ONE EXPECTS A CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, OVER THE YEARS I HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WHERE THE STATION GAS PUMP WOULD STOP EVEN AFTER PUMPING LESS THAN HALF A GALLON. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP AT THE STATION AND I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER PUMP OR ANOTHER STATION AND IT WOULD FILL UP OK. *TR
