2005 CHRYSLER 300C Fuel System Gasoline Problems

AFTER REFUELING NORMALLY, VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING FOR APPROXIMATELY THE NEXT 10-20 MILES DRIVEN. CHRYSLER INTERNET FORUM MEMBERS CITE A BAD VALVE IN THE FUEL EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND THE CORRECTIVE MEASURE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK FOR A COST OF $700. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING, IT CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELD, IT STALLS. ALSO, IT HESTITATES WHILE DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT ALSO WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. IT TOOK NUMEROUS SHIFTS FROM PARK TO DRIVE TO GET IT TO ENGAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHENEVER HE REFUELED. THE FAILURE OCCURED CONSISTENTLY OVER A ONE YEAR PERIOD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ADDED SMALL AMOUNTS OF FUEL IN INCREMENTS WHICH SEEMED TO PREVENT THE FAILURE FROM RECURRING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE BUT, THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HIM TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 56,000. UPDATED 04/12/11*LJ UPDATED 04/13/11

WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLS AFTER 1-2 MINUTES. RESTART AND STALLS AGAIN. GOES ON FOR FIRST 10 MILES AFTER REFILL. THIS HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL UP. ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IS TO FILL TANK AT 80% OR LESS. CHECKED THE INTERNET (CHRYSLER 300C STALLING) AND I FIND SEVERAL PEOPLE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAD TO SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL MOMENTS AFTER BEING REFUELED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED AFTER HAVING LESS THAN 1/2 A TANK OF GASOLINE, WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND ALSO WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS FOR SEVERAL MILES AND WHILE IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FUELING FOR APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES AND SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT IS NEVER KNOWN WHEN OR WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL LEAVE YOU DISABLED. MY CAR HAS STALLED MANY, MANY TIMES, ON THE ROAD, AT INTERSECTIONS, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, AT STOP LIGHTS, ON RAILROAD TRACKS, ON FREEWAY ON RAMPS AND OFF RAMPS, PARKING LOTS, AND ANYWHERE ELSE IT SO CHOOSES. I TALKED TO MECHANICS AND I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FLAT TOP FUEL TANK DESIGN, REQUIRING THE FUEL TANK TO BE REPLACED, BUT I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER 300C OWNERS. PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
