NHTSA Complaint #10679368 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300

MY CHRYSLER 300 TOURING BEGAN TO STALL ANY TIME I REFUELED IN WINTER MONTHS. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED THE "VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE". THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. WHEN THE PROBLEM RESURFACED I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NOW WAS A VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK AND THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. COST OF REPLACEMENT WAS ABOUT $2500. THE SERVICE TECH SAID JUST DON'T FILL UP THE TANK TO AVOID THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DOING THAT IN THE WINTER EVER SINCE BUT LAST NIGHT AFTER REFUELING IT WAS FINE UNTIL I WAS DRIVING AROUND TRAFFIC CIRCLE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR ENTERING THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE BEHIND ME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS ISSUE! *TR
