2006 CHRYSLER 300C Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE OIL SENSOR LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE OIL WAS CHANGED TWICE BY A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE NOR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO PASS AN INSPECTION DUE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING A FRACTURED PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE RIGHT TIE ROD. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,430.

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH GAS AND ENTERING THE FREEWAY THE CAR STALLED. EVERY TIME I FILL THE CAR UP WITH GAS THE FUEL TANK WILL JUST STALL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK AND LINES REPLACED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND YOU MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART IT; ALL WHILE TRYING NOT TO BE REAR-ENDED BY COMING TRAFFIC. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM TODAY. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE'S NOW A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK, BUT DUE TO THE MASSIVE NUMBER OF RECALLS, THE PART IS ON BACK-ORDER. *TR

AFTER YOU GET GAS IN THE CAR AND DRIVE AWAY THE CAR WILL STALL AND THEN YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART YOUR ENGINE.THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN MOVING TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY CHRYSLER 300C IT STALLS OUT SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THIS OCCURRED I WAS ALMOST KILLED IN A WRECK DUE TO THE FACT IT STALLED IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND VERY FRUSTRATING. CHRYSLER IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP. I READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A RECALL SHOULD BE IN AFFECT. I TRUSTED CHRYSLER WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A QUALITY PRODUCT THAT THEY WOULD STAND BEHIND BUT YET THEY WON'T. PLEASE HELP THEY VICTIMS OF CHRYSLER. *TR

AFTER REFUELING, THE CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. ALL THE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. CAR WAS HARD TO RESTART. AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION WHILE THE CAR WAS STOPPED, IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE YEARS. HAD IT LOOKED AT BY CHRYSLER WHILE STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. LATELY, THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME WE PUT GAS IN THE CAR. IF DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AFTER A FILL UP, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND TEMPORARILY LOOSE ACCELERATION. *TR

WHEN I STARTED PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO SHUTTER BADLY AND STALLED OUT. IT STARTED BACK UP BUT IT IMMEDIATELY WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AS IF IT WASN'T RUNNING ON ALL CYLINDERS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE PUT IT ON THE SCANNER AND A CODE CAME UP STATING THAT THE #6 CYLINDER WAS FAULTY. WHEN RUNNING THE CAR HAS NO POWER AND YOU CAN HEAR A DISTINCT CLICKING OF THE MDS SOLENOID. AS IT CLICK ON AND OFF THE CARS IDLE WAS NORMAL THEN VERY ROUGH. SERVICE RECORDS ARE IMMACULATE, OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES WITH MOBIL 5-20 FULL SYNTHETIC. SERVICE SUGGESTIONS HAVE BEEN STRICTLY FOLLOWED. THE SOLENOID WAS CHANGED OUT AND IT RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 500 MILES AND THEN IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN, VERY RANDOM AND MOSTLY WHEN YOU GO INTO PASSING GEAR ON THE FREEWAY THAT'S WHEN YOU TOTALLY LOSE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY BEFORE STALLING AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT BUT NO REMEDY WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C IT WOULD SHUT OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS REFUELED. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STALLING IN THE INTERSECTION. *TR

THE BELOW ARE INSERTS FROM MY CONTACT AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION, AND THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH STALLING AFTER FILLING WITH MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 SRT8. THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE LISTED AND DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE BLOGS TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION?S ONLINE FORUM TO INDICATE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BY YOUR ORGANIZATION AND THE DEALERSHIPS WHO SERVICE OUR VEHICLES, AND IF YOU WANT TO REALLY WON'T TO ASSIST ME IN ENSURING THAT THIS MATTER IS CORRECTED YOU CAN INSTRUCT AND AUTHORIZE AIRPARK CHRYSLER JEEP TO RESOLVED MY PROBLEM WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY OR THE NEED TO CONTINUE WITH FURTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. AS I STATED ABOVE, THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND FALLS ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO RECTIFY WITHOUT ALL THE RUN-AROUND I AM RECEIVING AT THE MOMENT TO GET THIS ACCOMPLISHED. MY VEHICLE NEEDS...

ON APRIL 9TH AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 P.M. I FILLED MY CAR WITH FUEL UNTIL THE PUMP SHUT OFF. AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL LID I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. ALMOST AS SOON AS I STOPPED THE ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH, AS IF IT WERE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND STOPPED. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, STARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE ANOTHER BLOCK BEFORE STOPPING AT ANOTHER TRAFFIC SIGNAL. AGAIN, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED. I GOT IT STARTED AND REACHED PARK MANOR NURSING HOME AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WHILE I WENT TO VISIT. WHEN I LEFT THE NURSING HOME, I WENT DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ABOUT 1/8 MILE TO A 5 LANE INTERSECTION THAT HAD A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STOPPED AGAIN JUST AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT THE CAR...

2006 CHRYSLER 300C, 5.7L HEMI ENGINE, I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE APPROX, 25 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT, WENT INTO THE BUSINESS. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START MY ENGINE, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT RUN. I CALLED ROADSIDE SERVICE FOR HELP. THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO RUN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. THE SHOP REPORTED TO ME THAT 3 CYLINDERS HAD NO COMPRESSION, THE VALVES HAD DROPPED DOWN INTO THE MOTOR, THREE SPARK PLUGS WERE CRUSHED. I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MODEL ENGINE, THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 5.7 HEMI'S. THE VALVE RETAINERS FAIL AND LET THE VALVE DROP AND CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED. THERE IS A RETRO-FIT AVAILABLE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED OR COMING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL IN A JERKING MOTION. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED AND MOST RECENTLY, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE AND THE CAR LUNGED AND THEN SEEMED TO BE FINE, UNTIL GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPING AT THE LIGHT IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS IT WAS MISSING OUT. IT DID NOT THROW A ENGINE CODE UNTIL PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY. I IMMEDIATELY DID A SCAN AND CAME UP WITH A P1414 CYLINDER 4 REACTIVATION CONTROL PERFORMANCE POSSIBLE CAUSES (K452) MDS SOLENOID NO.4 CONTROL SHORT TO VOLTAGE OIL PASSAGES RESTRICTED LIFTER MDS SOLENOID NO.4 PCM WE THEN TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME A 125.00 TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY TOLD THEM. AND FOLLOWED UP WITH THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 600.00 TO TEAR IT DOWN AND INSPECT IT FURTHER. SO I DID THE TEAR DOWN MYSELF AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE FOUND TO EXPLAIN WHY A CAR WITH ONLY 92000 MILES ON IT AND 5-20 ROYAL PURPLE OIL AND K&N OIL...

AFTER FILL UP ENGINE SHUT OFF FIVE TIMES IN TRAFFIC. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS RANK (NO TOPPING OFF) THE MOTOR WOULD STALL OUT, HAD CAR TOWED TO SERVICE GARAGE ONLY TO FIND THE CAR WOULD START. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES, AFTER THAT IT WOULD OCCUR AT EVERY FILL, IT HAS NOW GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR STALLS OUT BETWEEN 2 AND 10 TIMES, WE DON'T DARE GO ON THE HIGHWAY FOR AT LEAST 1/2 HOUR FOR FEAR OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC! WEB SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL, WAS TOLD REPAIR WOULD REQUIRE REPLACING THE GAS TANK AND FUEL CANISTER BECAUSE FILL PIPE IS TOO HIGH ON FACTORY ORIGINAL TANK? SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECTIVE FACTORY PART THAT NEEDS DEALING WITH FOR SAFETY CONCERNS, THANK YOU MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION!

MY CHRYSLER 300C HEMI STARTED IDLING ROUGH AND SHOWING CODE P0300. OIL/PLUGS WERE CHANGED, AND MY CAR WORKED WELL FOR ~500 MILES. AFTER WHICH THE LOW OIL LEVEL LIGHT CHIMMED. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALER THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND ALL WAS RIGHT. CLOSE TO A MONTH LATER, WHILE STOPPED AT A RAIL CROSSING THE CAR STALLED WITH ERROR CODE P1520. I CHECKED THE OIL WHICH WAS LOW AND ADDED TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. IN THE OIL, THERE WAS NO DISCOLORATION OR ANYTHING TO CAUSE ALARM. I STARTED THE ENGINE UP AND WHILE THE P1520 WAS GONE I HAD THE P0300. AFTER REMOVING THE MANIFOLD SMALL ALUMINUM PIECES WHERE FOUND INSIDE. PLUGS THAT WERE CLOSE TO 4K MILES OLD WERE ASH COVERED AND THROTTLE BODY. VALVES AND CYLINDER #3 HEAD NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL, THE ENGINE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON A REGULAR BASIS WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK USING REGULAR UNLEADED GAS. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS DUPLICATE THIS OCCURRENCE. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ON THE FREEWAY THE MOTOR STALLED AND MADE A ROLLING DRUMMING NOT A HIGH PITCH NOISE WOULDN'T RE START TOWED IT HOME GOT IT STARTED AND THE ENGINE IS MAKING A LOUD SQUEAK NOISE IT WON'T IDLE ON ITS OWN AND IT STALLS WHEN PUT INTO GEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY AND AFTER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AFTER TOPPING THE TANK OFF WITH GAS. AT THE FIRST RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE STALLED. IT STALLED AGAIN AT THE SECOND RED LIGHT. AFTER I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE RAN FINE AGAIN. *TR

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. ENGINE STALLED AND CUT-OFF. *TR

IN JANUARY 2013 I NEEDED A JUMP DUE TO THE FRIGID TEMPERATURE. FOLLOWING THE JUMP MY ENGINE LIGHT WOULD BLINK ON AND OFF OCCASIONALLY. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE ON FEBRUARY 17, 2014 I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE TECHNICIAN WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THE DEALERSHIP COULD DO IF THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THAT TIME. TWO DAYS LATER ON FEBRUARY 19TH, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO CONFIRM WHAT THE TECHNICAL TOLD ME WAS CORRECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE TECHNICIAN GAVE ME THE CORRECT INFORMATION AND THAT WHEN MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON TO COME BACK SO THAT THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. I ALSO INFORMED HIM THAT MY RECEIPT STATED THAT I DECLINED REPAIRS WHICH I DID NOT. HE STATED THAT THE LANGUAGE ON THE RECEIPT WAS FOR GENERAL REPAIRS AND THAT I DID...

FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GAS DROVE DOWN THE ROAD THEN THE ENGINE DIED DID IT TWICE TO ME. *TR

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR, I WAS ENTERING THE MAIN ROAD FROM A SIDE STREET, WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO BUCK AND BOUNCE. IT EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND WHILE PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE BUCKING AND BOUNCING STARTED AGAIN. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF MYSELF. I WAITED APPROX. 3-5 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THIS STALLING/BUCKING HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS A BEEPING SOUND WAS HEARD WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MAIN COMPUTER FRAME HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE DEALER PERFORMED A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE MOTOR COILS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY STALL AFTER BEING REFUELED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE . THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR STALLED WITH NO SIGNS OF ISSUES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT ANY COMMON REASON. *TR

CAR STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES ON ROAD AFTER I FILLED THE TANK; TO DATE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED CANISTER AND PURGE VALVE, REPLACE OXYGEN FILTER, AND IS NOW RECOMMENDING REPLACING FUEL TANK. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE ENGINE WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN IDLING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND SOMETIMES WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW RPMS. THIS ENGINE HAS STALLED WHEN ENTERING THE PARKWAY NEARLY BEING REAR ENDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS SEVERAL TIMES, ONLY WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. *TR

THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WITH A RED LIGHT AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS VALVE SEAT FAILURE WITH NO COMPRESSION IN ONE CYLINDER, OF WHICH I HAVE FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. THEY AND SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS SUGGESTED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GO FORWARD WAS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENGINE. AT 7 YEARS OLD THE CAR IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL, BUT THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. WHILE GM IS RECALLING CARS FOR STALLING, THEIR CAUSE WAS MUCH MORE MINOR AND THEY FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED IT - CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND I CONSTANTLY HEAR FROM THE DEALER ABOUT HOW THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING BEFORE WHEN EVEN THEIR MECHANICS ACKNOWLEDGE IT HAPPENS A LOT. *TR

VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING OR SURGE WHILE TRYING TO STOP WITHOUT NOTICE FOR UP TO THIRTY MINUTES OR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AFTER NORMAL FUEL UP (NO TOPPING OFF!). I SUDDENLY SURGED WHILE APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY VEHICLE NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION. WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO-LANE CURVED ROAD THE VEHICLE STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND NEAR COLLISION WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO STOP QUICKLY WHICH CAUSED A ROAD HAZARD FOR OTHER VEHICLES COMING AROUND A TIGHT TURN BEHIND ME. ONCE RESTARTED, I CONTINUED ON SAME ROAD AND VEHICLE DIED AGAIN IN A TURN ON SAME ROAD CAUSING THE STEERING TO GO OUT AGAIN WHICH LEAD TO VEERING OFF THE ROAD AND WITH THE POTENTIAL OF FALLING DOWN A 30 FOOT UN-GUARDED DECLINE. VEHICLE WILL STALL AND SURGE WHILE IN IDLE AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS ISSUE...

IN JANUARY I FILED A SAFETY COMPLAINT ON THIS WEB SITE REGARDING THE STALLING OF MY CHRYSLER 300C AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK (ODI # 10561779). OVER THE LAST TWO AND A HALF MONTHS THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED, WITH THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THE PROBLEM WAS TO ONLY FILL THE GAS TANK TO 3/4 FULL. ON 2/24/14 I SAW THE ABC NEWS REPORT THAT STATED "US ENDS PROBE OF CHRYSLER ENGINE STALLING" AND THE ARTICLE STATES THEY INVESTIGATED 1200 COMPLAINTS AND FOUND 299 IN WHICH THE FUEL SYSTEM ALLOWED THE GAS TANK TO BE OVER-FILLED. IT ALSO STATED THAT "CHRYSLER UPDATED THE PART IN NEW CARS AND GUARANTEED IT FOR LIFE IN CARS NOW ON THE ROAD." WHEN MY CHRYSLER DEALER (WHO HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY CHRYSLER SINCE I BOUGHT IT THERE NEW IN 2/2006) WAS CONTACTED, HE STATED THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS WERE BEING COVERED....

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 7 YEARS, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. ON FEBRUARY 23,2014 I WENT TO SHELL AND FILLED UP THE CAR WITH $49.00. I DO NOT REMEMBER IF I EVER FILLED THE CAR UP BEFORE. I'M SURE I HAVE BUT I USUALLY PUT 20/30 BUCKS IN. BUT I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT STOP N SHOP GAS SAVINGS AND RECEIVED A DISCOUNT. I TRIED TO PUT 50 IN BUT IT ONLY TOOK 49.00. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND I TRIED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND IT SHUT DOWN. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FLUKE SINCE I WAS BASICALLY AT A ROLL. I DROVE 2 BLOCKS AND AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IT DIED. I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A U-TURN TO RETURN HOME. THE CAR DIED 3 TIMES IN A 5 BLOCK SPAN. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY COUSIN WHO HAD A COMPUTER, NO...

THE CAR STALLED AND RESTARTED ITSELF ON THE INTERSTATE OVER 10 TIMES YESTERDAY. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR STALLED 6 TIMES ON LOCAL STREETS AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED WITH THE STARTER 6 TIMES. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO NHTSA BEFORE. THE LOCAL PAPER REPORTED LAST WEEK (FEB 15, 2014) THAT CHRYSLER HAD ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AS THE FUEL TANK AND THEY WOULD EXTEND THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY FOR LIFE IN CARS NOW ON THE ROAD. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON FEB 17, 2014 AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997 ON FEB 17, 2014 AND THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD PASS IT TO THE TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT AND THEN GET BACK TO ME (CASE # [XXX]). I AGAIN CONTACTED CHRYSLER AT 800 992 1997 ON FEB 20, 2014 AND THEY SAID...

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE STALLS PERIODICALLY. THE ISSUE HAS BECOME WORST OVER TIME. THE LAST TIME MY SON WAS DRIVING WITH ME IN THE CAR AND STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. HE WAS 16 AND STILL IN THE LEARNING STAGE OF DRIVING. THE TIME BEFORE WE WERE PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION AS WE WERE ENTERING TRAFFIC THE ENGINE STALLED. LUCKY WE WERE NOT INVOLVE IN AN INCIDENT. *TR

EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH GAS, ENGINE STALLS. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY TANK, AND BEGIN TO DRIVE, IF I SLOW DOWN AND/OR COME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE DIES. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I PICK UP SPEED OR PARK THE CAR FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. IF I GET ON THE HIGHWAY, I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM. ONLY WHEN I'M DRIVING SLOWLY, RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK. IF I LET THE CAR SIT FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER REFUELING, I DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY, THE CAR STALLED OUT 4 TIMES AT 4 DIFFERENT LIGHTS. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AT SLOW SPEED AND AT IDLE ALSO MISS FIRES AT SPEED AFTER REFUELING GAS TANK. IT CONTINUES UNTIL A GAL. OR SO OF FUEL IS CONSUMED . *TR

GOING AROUND A ROTARY IN EVERETT, MASS. THE CAR JUST SHUT ITSELF OFF. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED AT MAJOR INTERSECTION SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING AND WOULD NOT RESTART AND STAY RUNNING. HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF INTERSECTION AND OFF ROADWAY BY POLICE. NO CODES APPEARED. NUMEROUS RESTARTS AND STALLS BEFORE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC WHO COMPUTER SCANNED FOR DIAGNOSIS. NO CODES. PROBLEM HAS NOW RECURRED 2 MORE TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER LAST 2 FILL UPS. MOST RECENT WAS REENTERING RTE 23S NEAR WAYNE NJ AFTER FILLING UP. CAR STALLED AND CREATED A SERIOUS HAZARD FOR ME AND PASSENGERS TRYING TO AVOID REAR END COLLISION WHILE PULLING TO SHOULDER WITH NO POWER. VERY BUSY ROAD WITH 50-60 MPH TRAFFIC. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND STAY RUNNING - REQUIRING 5-7 RESTART/STALLS BEFORE IT WAS DRIVABLE. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AGAIN. NO CODES ON SCANNER. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FILL-UP. WILL STALL EVEN WITHOUT TOPPING OFF TANK. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WILL STALL MULTIPLE TIMES AND BUCK WHILE DRIVING FOR A TIME. CAN NOT FILL UP TANK. *TR

LAST MONTH, I FILLED MY 300C WITH MID GRADE GAS, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS USED SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2006, AND THEN DIRECTLY ENTERED THE TURNPIKE. TRAVEL SPEED WAS 70 MPH. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR LATER, EXITED INTO A TURNPIKE PLAZA. THERE IS A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING AREA ABOUT 500 FEET AFTER YOU EXIT THE HIGHWAY. AS I SLOWED THEN COASTED AROUND THE TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I COASTED A SHORT DISTANCE UNTIL I STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED. I HAD BOUGHT GAS AND ENTERED THE TURNPIKE AT THAT SAME LOCATION MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. I HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS GETTING HOME. HOWEVER, LAST WEEK, I FILLED UP TANK AND EXITED MY LOCAL GAS STATION, WHICH SITS ON THE CORNER...

OUR CHRYSLER 300C HAD BEGUN TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH MORE THAN 3/4 TANK OF GAS. WE BEGAN TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF GAS TO NEVER FILL MORE THAN 3/4 TANK. THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS. IN DEC, 2013 THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AT OTHER TIMES. I HAD BETWEEN 1/4 TO 1/2 IN THE TANK WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT APPROX 45MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL THEN RESTART AT FIRST. THEN IT STALLED ENTIRELY SEVERAL TIMES THAT EVENING AS WE TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD MY 2 DAUGHTERS AND 2 GRANDDAUGHTERS WITH ME AT THE TIME. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL DLR, LEE CHRYSLER, WERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT THE 3 MILES. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR UNTIL 12-16-2013 WHEN THEY ADVISED THAT THE PROPORTIONAL...

I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR STALLING AFTER I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. I READ THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT RECALLING FOR THIS REASON SO I JUST READ FORUMS AND TRIED NOT TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK BUT SOMETIMES I FORGET AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

AFTER I FILL UP (I DO NOT OVERFILL), WITHIN THE FIRST SEVERAL MILES I DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT THAT AT 40-50 MPH IT WILL "HESITATE/JERK" LIKE THERE IS A FUEL MIX ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. *TR

AFTER RE-FUELING VEHICLE, CAR STALLED AT 5 INTERSECTIONS. VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALWAYS GO BACK INTO GEAR AFTER RESTARTING UNTIL SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE. AFTER BURNING OFF A FEW GALLONS OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER STALLED/MISFIRED. TANK WAS NOT "TOPPED-OFF" WHEN FILLED, IT WAS FILLED UNTIL THE PUMP STOPPED AUTOMATICALLY. STALLING OCCURS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FILLED TO FULL. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, MOSTLY WHILE IDLING. AND, IT IS DIFFICULT TO RE-START AFTER STALLING. ENGINE ALSO RUNS "ROUGHER" AFTER FILL-UP. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. TOOK 300C TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK OVERFLOW VALVE. SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE GAS TANK OR NEVER COMPLETELY FILL IT UP. IT SEEMS THAT WITH ALL OF THESE SIMILAR SAFETY COMPLAINTS, CHRYSLER SHOULD FIND AN ALTERNATIVE FIX. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO START. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD RUN PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. THE SOLUTION HAS BEEN TO NOT FILL THE TANK. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM--THE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE IT IN THEIR TEST. *TR

AFTER FUELING MY VEHICLE I DROVE ABOUT 300 FEET AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION, AND MY CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT WITHOUT RESTARTING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO RESTART I DROVE FOR ANOTHER 5 MILES AND THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN. AFTER THE SECOND STALL I LET THE CAR SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE AWAY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE, IT HAS HAPPENED 2 OTHER TIMES BEFORE. I FEAR THAT IF THIS KEEPS HAPPENING WITH NO RESOLUTION FROM CHRYSLER PEOPLE MAY HAVE TO REPORT SOMETHING WORSE THAN JUST THE CAR STALLING. *TR

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR IT WILL BEGIN TO RUN, AND IDLE, ROUGH TO THE POINT THAT IT STALLS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED. MOST OF THE TIME IT DIES WHILE IDLING, BUT HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES. THE ISSUE IS WORSE IF THE CAR IS REFUELED FROM THE POINT THAT THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON. IT WILL DIE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN REFUELED FROM THIS LOW LEVEL IN THE TANK. THE CAR HAS DIED WHILE LEAVING A RED LIGHT AND GETTING AS FAR AS THE INTERSECTION AND HAVING TO TRY TO RESTART IT WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. *TR
