Consumer Description

CAR SHUTS OFF AFTER FILLING, WAS JUST EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE STARTING 2 YEARS AGO, BUT NOW IT SHUTS OFF AFTER EVERY FILL UP, AND WHEN IT SHUTS OFF THEN THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. WILL SHUT OFF AS SOON AS I LEAVE THE GAS STATION, AND WILL CONTINUE EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN, FOR APPROX.10 MILES. AFTER BEING REAR ENDED IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT, DUE TO I STARTED TO MOVE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF, BUT THE PERSON BEHIND ME DIDN'T REALIZE MY CAR QUIT AND LIGHTLY HIT ME. I HAVE LEARNED THAT I CAN NO LONGER FILL UP AT ANY GAS STATION, I HAVE TO FILL UP WHERE I KNOW I CAN JUST DRIVE WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN FOR ABOUT 10 MILES. THE CAR WILL STILL SHUDDER LIKE IT ISN'T GETTING GAS, BUT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT FROM SHUTTING OFF TOTALLY AND TRYING TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED AGAIN. I WORRY WHAT DAMAGE IS BEING DONE TO THE REST OF MY CAR WHEN IT SHUDDERS LIKE THAT THOUGH. I SEE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER 2005 300C OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL HAS HAPPENED YET. HOPE THE RECALL HAPPENS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION.
