2006 CHRYSLER 300C Engine Problems

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE IT STALLS. THE VEHICLE LOOSES STEERING POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE TRIED TO NOT LET THE FUEL GET TO LOW AND HAVE TRIED FILLING THE TANK AT DIFFERENT LEVELS WITH NO LUCK. *TR

ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED WORKING AS COMING OUT OF GAS STATION AFTER FILLING AT GAS STATION. STEERING WENT HARD AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. WARNING LIGHT (LUB OIL CAN) CAME UP. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN, ENGINE STARTED BUT KEPT STALLING FOR NEXT 5 MINUTES. - MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES - ALL AFTER FILLING TANK. ALL SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCES REPORTED TO DEALER. DEALER KEPT VEHICLE FOR A WEEK TRYING TO 'REPLICATE' THE ERROR BUT REPORTED NO FINDINGS. *TR

WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO OF REFUELING, THE ENGINE STALLED AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. THE CAR WOULD RE-START WITH LITTLE DIFFICULTY ONLY TO STALL AGAIN VERY SHORTLY THEREAFTER. EVENTUALLY, AFTER PERHAPS 10 MINUTES OF STARTS/STALLS, AND RE-STARTS, OPERATION WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO REFUELING. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE RECURRED WITH EVERY REFUELING (AT LEAST 4 REFUELINGS SO FAR), RESULTING IN NUMEROUS ENGINE STALLS IN TRAFFIC. APART FROM THESE REFUELING-RELATED INCIDENTS THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY, AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC HAS SAID THAT "THE CAR'S COMPUTER" INDICATES ALL SYSTEMS ARE NORMAL. A GOOGLE SEARCH ON MY PROBLEM, HOWEVER, SUGGESTS THAT THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN CHRYSLER 300CS OF A SIMILAR VINTAGE. *TR

I FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GAS AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT HALF A MILE THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR STARTED AND STALLED REPEATEDLY FIVE OR SIX TIMES FOR ABOUT FOUR BLOCKS. AT A CERTAIN POINT THE PROBLEM STOPPED AND THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NEARBY AUTO SHOP AND THEY FOUND NO ERROR CODES IN THE SYSTEM. AFTER LEAVING THE AUTO SHOP THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITHOUT STALLING. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I FILLED UP WITH GAS AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF AFTER DRIVING ABOUT HALF A MILE. THE ENGINE STALLED ABOUT FIVE TIMES. IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER THIS TIME BUT IT EVENTUALLY STARTED AND DROVE FINE. *TR

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS OVER A YEAR AGO. I HAD JUST FILLED UP GAS TANK AND PULLED OUT OF LOT STILL IN A PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING AREA. TURNED LEFT INTO A FAST FOOD PLACE AND CAR SHUTS DOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND WENT INSIDE. CAME OUT STARTED CAR WAS PULLING OUT OF LOT INTO TRAFFIC AND CAR SHUTS DOWN AGAIN. THIS TIME NOT TO THE LIKING OF OTHER DRIVERS OR MYSELF. RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS DROVE HOME AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN TILL I WENT ON A TRIP A FEW MONTHS LATER. HALF WAY THROUGH THE TRIP I HAD TO REFUEL AND BINGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION LOT AND TURNING LEFT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT GOOD. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES AND CONTINUED...

VEHICLE STALLED AFTER REFUELING. FILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL WITHOUT 'TOPPING OFF' WILL CAUSE THE CAR'S ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. NO DTCS/MILES ARE SET. CAN BE RESTARTED WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. THE STALL WILL OCCUR AT ANY ENGINE/VEHICLE SPEED AND WILL HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE CAR AFTER REFUELING. THE PROBLEM CAN BE AVOIDED BY NOT FILLING THE TANK PAST 3/4 FULL. HAVE TESTED THIS 'WORK-AROUND' AT THE SAME GAS STATION & PUMP. *TR

AFTER REFUELING, CAR STALLS. THIS HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION. THE STALL HAS TAKEN PLACE AT INTERSECTIONS, WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND WHILE DRIVING NO MORE THAN 5 -10MPH AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION.. CAR RESTARTS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IN NEUTRAL. WHEN EACH INCIDENT OCCURS, THE OIL ICON COMES ON, HOWEVER THE OIL LEVEL IS NOT LOW. ON ONE OCCASION AFTER HAVING BACKED INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH THE CAR GEAR SHIFT STILL IN REVERSE AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR LURCHED. THE TIRES COULD BE HEARD SPINNING. THAT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE MY CAR COULD HAVE ROLLED INTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. ONCE THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATES APPROXIMATELY A HALF A TANK, NO STALLING INCIDENTS TAKE PLACE. CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS CONCERNED. SERVICE ADVISOR WAS AWARE OF CHYRSLER 300C STALLS AFTER REFUELING. FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM WAS...

ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHILE EITHER IDLING OR DRIVING. STALLS ARE INCREASINGLY MORE FREQUENT. UNABLE TO GET A DIAGNOSIS OF PROBLEM. HAVE REPLACED THE PCM BUT NO CHANGE IN PROBLEM OCCURRENCE. *TR

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE PURCHASE IN DECEMBER 2005. SOMETIMES POWER WINDOWS WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN, LIGHTS ON TEMP GAUGES AND DASH HAVE BURNED OUT AND HEATED SEATS OCCASIONALLY GET SUPER HOT. HEADLIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE SWITCH AND ALL THE TROUBLE LIGHTS HAVE COME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HAVE TAKEN TO MANY DIFFERENT DEALERS AND NONE HAVE FOUND ANY PROBLEMS THEY SAY. *TR

I WAS TURNING RIGHT AT A STOP LIGHT, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A GAS TANK FILL, WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO STALL DURING DECELERATION OR WHEN STOPPED FOR THE NEXT 30 MILES. *TR

STALLS AFTER I FILL UP AND JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN MOVING SLOWLY 0 TO 20 MPH AND HESITATES WHEN DRIVING 30 AND OVER IF I DON'T DRIVE AROUND DRIVE AROUND IN A PARKING LOT FOR APX 10 MIN IT WILL STOP IN TRAFFIC AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION. *TR

DRIVING DOWN ROAD CAR ENGINE WILL CUT OUT MAY RESTART SOME TIMES , OR STALL AND HAVE TO RESTART MANUALLY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TOOK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP PUT ON COMPUTER SAID THAT IT JUST SENT BASIC CODE HAVE HAD CAR FOR OVER 3 MONTH RETURNED CAR SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG NEXT DAY DRIVING CAR DID SAME THING 4 TIMES MORE ON ME ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN SAID SAME CODE NOW HAVE HAD CAR FOR ANOTHER MONTH SAYING THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 300C STALLED OUT ON THE FREEWAY WHILE ACCELERATING DURING A TRAFFIC JAM. IT TOOK A COUPLE TRIES TO RESTART THE ENGINE. *TR

ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, MAKING TURNS AND WHILE AT STOP SIGNS, INTERSECTIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE HOW TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AFTER FILLED UP WITH GAS. *TR

STARTED STALLING AFTER FILL UP'S APX 1 YEAR AGO. I DO NOT DRIVE IT ALOT. APX 55000 MILES ON IT. FIRST THOUGHT WAS DUE TO CHANGING OCTANE BUT BEEN USING FOR 4 MONTHS . STALLS, BUCKS, SURGES. CLEARED UP AFTER APX 5 TO 10 MIN. *TR

AFTER FUELING CAR, IT STALLS OUT. AFTER RESTART WILL RUN AND MAY OR MAY NOT STALL AGAIN. NOT A VERY GOOD THING TO HAPPEN. COULD BECOME THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO RECALLS ON CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,010.

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL (NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK) THE CAR STALLED UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE RISK IS INCREDIBLE! THE CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AS TRAFFIC WAS ALL AROUND ME HONKING AND I WAS NEARLY BEING HIT FROM BEHIND!! ONCE WAS A FLUKE I THOUGHT AND MAYBE BAD GAS. I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY NAVIGATE ON BACK STREETS TO THE HOUSE AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. AGAIN I HAD THE STALLING PROBLEM, LUCKY FOR ME I HAD PICKED A LIGHT TRAFFIC TIME TO FILL UP. I SWITCHED GAS STATIONS AFTER THAT AN NOW ONLY GET GAS AT SHELL STATIONS HEARING THAT THEY HAD THE BEST GAS QUALITY OVERALL. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK FULL. THE STALLING PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING NOW TWO...

IN AUGUST OF 2012 MY VEHICLE HAD AROUND 76,000 MILES AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCE MY VEHICLE STALLING OUT AND TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 30MPHS, I PULLED OVER AND TRIED RESTARTING MY VEHICLE AND NOTICE THERE WAS LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE WAS BEHAVING ABNORMAL. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND THAT'S WHEN I HARD A LOUD METALLIC ENGINE NOISE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO PUENTE HILLS CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD NO COMPRESSION IN A FEW CYLINDERS, DUE TO THEIR BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP THAT TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLE'S WITH THE 5.7L ENGINES. AFTER DIAGNOSING AND TAKING THE VALVE COVERS OFF THEY FOUND THE VALVE SEATS HAD DROPPED AND BENT THE VALVES. TOTAL COST WAS $3,500. NOW, NOVEMBER...

THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY STALLS SHUTTING DOWN POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND OIL PRESSURE IS READING 0. TURN IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND CAR RESTARTS PERFECTLY WITH NL OIL PRESSURES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS. WOULD PROBABLY BE FATAL IF ON INTERSTATE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. THERE WAS ALSO NO ERROR CODES STORED IN THE CARS COMPUTER. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C WAS A CAR THAT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT HAD LESS THAN 90,000 MILES AT THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS IN A DRIVE-THRU AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR TO SAVE FUEL. WHEN I WENT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE CAR MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE THAT SOUND SIMILAR TO STICKING A BASEBALL CARD IN BICYCLE SPOKES BUT MUCH LOUDER AND STRONGER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO CHUCK CLANCY CHRYSLER AND I WAS INFORMED THAT A VALVE SEAT HAD DROPPED AND DESTROYED SEVERAL CYLINDERS. THE BILL WAS $3,000. THIS CAR WAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED BY MAINTENANCE RECORDS AND THE OIL CHANGED WITH PENNZOIL PLATINUM ULTRA. TO ADD TO THIS STORY, I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS OUT ANOTHER $4000 FOR THIS REPAIR. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER IT AND GAVE ME...

5 MINUTES AFTER FILLING UP MY 06 CHRYSLER 300C SRT-8 6.1L AT A GAS STATION I WAS CROSSING OVER TRAFFIC TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND MY CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO RESTART THEN LURCHED FORWARD AFTER PUT INTO GEAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME RIGHT AFTER FILLING MY TANK THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE TIME BEFORE IT STALLED MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE ON RAMP. *TR

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO. MY CAR STALLS FOR NO REASON IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOT, STOPPED AT A LIGHT, ENTERING OR EXITING THE FREEWAY, WHILE I AM DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS AND WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. IF I AM DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS OR FREEWAY THE CAR DOES NOT STALL BUT MOMENTARILY DIES (FOR A HALF SECOND). MY ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND ALL THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD GO TO 0. THE CAR WILL THEN COME BACK TO LIFE AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE NORMALLY BUT CAN "DIE" AGAIN A FEW MOMENTS LATER OR NOT AT ALL FOR DAYS OR MONTHS. IT FEELS LIKE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY HAS THERE IS NO COMMON CHARACTERISTIC BETWEEN EACH INCIDENT AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY COMMON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THAT CAUSES...

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, MY CAR DIES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I GET HOME, WHICH IS ABOUT 5 MILES FROM THE GAS STATION. SOMETIMES IT WILL SPEED UP WITHOUT ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR JUST BEFORE IT DIES. IT DIES BEFORE I GET OUT OF THE GAS STATION, SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES IT DIES AS I PULL TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT 1,000 FEET FROM THE GAS STATION. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 2 DAYS AGO. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWICE FOR THIS, BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE FILL UP BEFORE THIS LAST ONE, I ONLY FILLED THE TANK HALF FULL, AND IT DIDN'T DIE, SO IT MUST BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH FILLING IT ALL THE WAY UP. I DON'T TOP THE TANK OFF, EITHER. *TR

I HAD JUST MADE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO AN ACCESS ROAD GOING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH. I NOTICED MY CAR WAS BUCKING AND SEEMED TO SPUTTER. FIRST THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS. ONCE THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, I HAD LOST ALL POWER. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN BUT I MANAGED TO TURN OFF ONTO A SIDE STREET AND GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY I HAD NOT YET MADE IT ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY, WHICH BY THE WAY WAS DURING 5 O'CLOCK RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC! I SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. IT STARTED UP AND WAS DRIVABLE. IT STILL SPUTTERED SOME ON THE WAY HOME. I AM HOPEFUL I CAN MAKE IT BACK INTO TOWN AND TAKE IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. MY CAR IS A ONE OWNER CAR THAT MY...

I BOUGHT MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C BRAND NEW & I'VE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. IT WAS PURCHASED STRAIGHT FROM DAIMLER/CHRYSLER, ORDERED & BUILT TO MY SELECTED SPECIFICATIONS THROUGH CHRYSLER. I SET THE ORDER IN FEBRUARY 2005, IT WAS BUILT & FINISHED 11 NOV 2005. THIS WAS DONE WHILE I WAS FINALIZING MY CAREER IN ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY SERVICE & RETIRED. I RETURNED TO THE U.S. 7 JAN 2006 & THAT'S WHEN I SAW & PICKED MY THEN BRAND NEW 300C. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT CAR EVER SINCE. I TRULY LOVE THIS CAR & TO THIS DAY STILL LOVE THIS CAR. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY ONE OTHERTHAN PUTTING GAS IN IT, VERY DEPENDABLE CAR. IN 2007 JUNE I WAS DIAGNOSED CANCER OF THE BONE & BLOOD (MULTIPLE MYELOMA, STAGE 4). AFTER BEING HOSPITALIZED FOR APPRX. 18 MTHS, ONE DAY WHILE COMING FROM...

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS I WENT ABOUT 2-3 MILES ON US1 IN WAKE FOREST, AFTER STOPPING AT THE LIGHT AT US1A I PROCEEDED TO TURN ONTO US1A AND MY CAR STALLED. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO MANAGE TO TURN ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR TO CONTINUE TO PROCEED. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT ANOTHER 1 TO 2 MILES IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS I LOSE POWER STEERING WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. *TR

ENGINE STALLED FOR FIRST TIME LESS THAN 2 MILES AFTER FILL UP AT 25 MPH ON CITY STREET. IMMEDIATELY LOSS POWER ASSIST OF BOTH STEERING AND BRAKES. CAR WEIGHTS 4040 LBS AND I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AND GETTING THE CAR STOPPED. CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. NO FUTURE PROBLEMS UNTIL NEARLY EVERY REFILL WHEN IT STALLS WITHIN FIRST FEW SECONDS OR 2 MILES. CAR NOW HAS 79550 MILES. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS MOST FREQUENTLY BUT I ALWAYS FILL THE GAS TANK. I TOLD HER WHEN IT STALLS, STEER STRAIGHT, PUT CAR IN NEURAL, RESTART, AND HOPE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STOP QUICKLY. IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 CHRYSLER'S [XXX] LETTER AUG 9, 2013 LAST PAGE 17 STATES "IF A STALL AFTER REFUEL CONDITIONS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE HAS FUNCTIONING STEERING AND BRAKE SYSTEMS". TRUE BUT WITH OUT POWER ASSIST ON STEERING AND BRAKES CAR IS...

THE CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT AFTER BEING STARTED. NOW IT IS ALMOST SHUTTING OFF OR BECOMING UNRESPONSIVE MID ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN. THE CAR WILL AT RANDOM STALL. THE ENGINE DOES NOT NEED TO BE RESTARTED SO FAR WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL "DIE" FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN COMES BACK AGAIN JUST SHORT OF COMPLETE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. REAR WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE IS ALSO NON RESPONSIVE. IT HAS ONLY WORKED ONCE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. *TR

MY VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT ON ME INTERMITTENTLY. IT MOSTLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER I GET FINISHED PUTTING GAS IN MY CAR. UNLIKE MOST OTHER STORIES I'VE READ ABOUT OVERFILLING THE GAS TANK, THIS HAPPENS TO ME SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT JUST A HALF OF A TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR. NOW, AS OF NOV. 7, 2013, IT'S DONE IT WELL OVER 100 TIMES; THAT'S SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN MAY. THE DEALERSHIP IS A COMPLETE SCAM. THEY KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT. THEY'VE CHARGED ME TO FIX EVERYTHING FROM EGR VALVES TO PCMS TO SPARK PLUGS. NOTHING HAS WORKED.THEN FINALLY I DECIDE TO DO SOME DEEP RESEARCH, THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO FILE MY COMPLAINT. THERE ARE 2 MAJOR ISSUES I HAVE. WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I'LL LOSE ALL POWER AND THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR A SPLIT SECOND, THEN IT'LL KICK BACK IN. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, TO SAY...

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN MY CAR STALLED . I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE. BUT THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER . AFTER THAT I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND HALF , NO PROBLEM ! I READ A LOT OF THE COMPLAINTS AND SEVERAL PEOPLE INDICATED THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY REFILL. WELL I KIND OF AGREE WITH THAT. NOW ITS 11/01/13 AND TODAY I TURNED RIGHT INTO A PARKING LOT AND IT STALLED THAT WAS ON FRIDAY. SINCE THEN IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES BUT RESTARTS ! I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER TO DEALER ON MONDAY. $700.00 AT END OF DAY , WAS TOLD THE PC NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. AND NEEDED A TUNEUP.. TUE IT STALLED AGAIN. PROBLEM NOT SOLVED. WELL TODAY 11/05/13 ITS AT DEALER AGAIN. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I LOVE THIS CAR AND...

MY HUSBAND FILLED UP THE TANK ON 110413 (ALREADY HAD 1/4 TANK). I DROVE TO AND FROM WORK, BUT ONCE I BACKED INTO THE YARD THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN. AS I REVVED THE ENGINE THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WOULD CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER THE INITIAL START UP, BUT AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR CUT OFF. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, BUT NO ONE MENTIONED THE ISSUES THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE (2006 300C WITH HEMI). VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC MENTIONED IT MIGHT BE THE ENGINE... OH REALLY!!!!! *TR

AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK, AT 1/2 A TANK, I PULLED AWAY FROM THE PUMP AND THE CAR STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING I CONTINUED ON MY WAY. EVERY TIME I SLOWED DOWN FOR TRAFFIC, OR A STOP SIGN, OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED. THIS HAPPENED 6-8 TIMES ON MY WAY HOME WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. AFTER STARTING, THE ENGINE "SPITTED, AND SPURTED" ON ACCELERATION. IT THEN SMOOTHED OUT, AND RAN FINE, UNTIL THIS LATEST INCIDENT. ALSO, THE LAST TIME THE CAR WAS FUELED, IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT GAS, THE HOSE KEPT SHUTTING OFF. TRIED ANOTHER PUMP, SAME RESULT, WENT TO ANOTHER GAS STATION, SAME RESULT. *TR

ENGINE STALLS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. BEEN IN SHOP ALL 6 TIMES. IN THERE TODAY. STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER STEERING OR ANYTHING. JUST HAD TO COAST WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON TILL IT CAME TO A STOP, I ALSO HAD JUST FILLED WITH GAS EACH TIME IT HAS STALLED. *TR

IM HOPING THIS POST WILL GET US SOME HELP AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING WITH OUR 2006 CHRYSLER 300C. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2011. IT HAD LESS THAN 33,000 MILES AND WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT THE FIRST YEAR, BUT THEN THE TROUBLE STARTED AND IT IS NOW AN ONGOING NIGHTMARE. IT STARTED STALLING AND DYING CONSTANTLY, USUALLY WHEN WE WERE GOING SLOW OR STOP AND GO, BUT A FEW TIMES WHEN DRIVING 35-45 MPH. WE HAD PURCHASED A 2 YEAR/20,000 ADDED WARRANTY WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR (EXPIRES IN NOV 2013 WHICH HAS ME WORRIED) SO ALL OF THE SERVICING AND REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE AT OUR LOCAL DEALER. SO FAR, THEY HAVE DONE THROTTLE BODY CLEAN, CLEANED A/F BOX AND REPLACED FILTER, COOLANT FLUSH, STEERING SYSTEM FLUSH, FUEL KIT, CHANGED OUT FUEL TANK, VAPOR CANISTER, LEAK...

AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK FROM A START OF 1/8 TH TO FULL TANK, THE CAR STALLED AFTER LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION ABOUT 200 FEET DOWN THE ROAD WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE RESTARTED I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOPPED POSITION BUT DRIVING POWER TRAIN WAS FAIRLY ERRATIC AS THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO LURCH FORWARD OR ACCELERATE UNPREDICTABLY THEN WOULD PULL BACK BY NEARLY STALLING. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MILES BEFORE REACHING MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WHILE IN NEUTRAL LOPED SUBSTANTIALLY FROM 2000 RPM TO 100RPM SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE STALLING. ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR AFTER STALLING WAS SUCCESSFUL. LEAVING THE CAR PARKED AND OFF FOR 60 MINUTES HAD NO BENEFICIAL EFFECT. AFTER RETURNING THE STARTING WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WERE NOT LIT UNTIL THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. THE CAR CONTINUES TO BE IDLE ERRATICALLY BOTH WHILE IN PARK AND...

WHEN I FILLED THE FUEL TANK THE CAR WOULD STALL LEAVING THE SERVICE STATION. THEN IT STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOW OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT OR SPEED BUMPS. AT THESE TIMES I DID NOT REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED UNTIL I SAW THE OIL LIGHT ON. THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT SUGGESTED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH BE CHANGED. THE PROBLEM STILLED PERSISTED SO I HAD THE CAR TUNED UP. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED AND SO I STOPPED BUYING A PARTICULAR BRAND OF GAS BECAUSE WHILE LEAVING THE STATION WHICH IS ON THE INCLINE THE CAR STALLED AND A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON AND ONE INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED AND STOPPED TOPPING OF THE TANK BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY. I HAVE TO DRIVE TWO MAJOR HIGHWAYS FOR DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO...

I WAS ON THE WAY TO A DOCTORS APPT WITH MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER ON 264 HEADING TOWARDS CHESAPEAKE, VA. I WAS DOING 55 MPH AND THE TANK WAS ON 1/8 TH OF A TANK. AS WE WERE DRIVING, ABOUT 15 MIN LATER, THE CAR LURCHED, A DING WAS HEARD, THE ETC LIGHT FLASHED, THE RPMS DROPPED TO 0, THEN RESUMED A SECOND LATER CAUSING THE LURCHING FORWARD. ABOUT 3 TO 4 MINUTES AND INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE NEXT 15 MIN LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING, BUT ALSO STALLED AT THE STOP LIGHTS ON THE WAY THERE. NO CODES CAME UP WHEN DIAGNOSTICS WERE PUT ON IT. THE THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED AND A RELEARN WAS DONE, THIS DID NOTHING. SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND NO ONE HAS AN EXACT FIX FOR THIS. ALSO, MAY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, BUT...

MY HUSBAND FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS AND DROVE IT APPROX. 2 MILES TO OUR HOME. AN HOUR LATER WHEN I TOOK THE CAR OUT TO GO SHOPPING, IT HESITATED/JERKED FORWARD TWICE AS I WAS MAKING 2 LEFT TURNS LEAVING THE SUBDIVISION. THEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER CALLING MY HUSBAND, HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED. HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, THEY SAID THEY HAD NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I FELT EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT ON A BUSY STREET OR IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR STALLED. MY HUSBAND LET ME KNOW THIS MORNING, THAT THE CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER HE PULLS OUT OF THE GAS STATION ONTO THE STREET, WHEN GETTING FUEL. NOW IT IS NEARLY EVERY TIME HE FILLS THE TANK WITH GAS AND HE FEELS IT...

IF VEHICLE IS FILLED UP WITH GAS UNTIL FULL CAR WILL STALL SHORTLY AFTER FILL-UP. *TR

AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GAS THE CAR STALLS A FEW TIMES ONCE YOU START DRIVING AWAY. IT CAN ALSO HAPPEN IF YOU PARK YOUR CAR AFTER FILLING WITH A FULL TANK. IT SEEMS YOU MUST GUN THE ENGINE TO PREVENT THE STALLING. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT JUST HAPPENED 2 FILL UPS IN A ROW AND SOMETIMES IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS BUT THIS HAPPENS TO FREQUENTLY. WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM? MY CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED EXTREMELY WELL. I WENT TO MY DEALER AND THEY HAD NO RECALL OR KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

ON 8/29, I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR A REPAIR TO THE BODY. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT TURNED OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, I WENT BACK INSIDE AND MADE THE SERVICE MANAGER AWARE. HE CAME OUT AND AFTER A FEW TRIES, IT STARTED. THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT BUT THAT IT SEEMED TO BE FINE SO I COULD TAKE IT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUE AND TOOK IT TO A NEARBY GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP. AFTER FILLING IT UP, IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FROM 8/29 TO 9/26. DURING THAT TIME, THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED, THE EVAP CANISTER WAS REPLACED AND THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED. WHEN I WENT TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP ON 9/26, IT WOULD...

AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM WORK, I NOTICED A KNOCKING/GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE, MOST LIKELY THE LIFTER PUSH ROD PART OF THE ENGINE. I WAS INFORMED BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THERE WERE SOME VEHICLES OF THIS CLASS THAT HAD BEEN COVERED UNDER A RECALL FOR THE LIFTER PROBLEM, BUT THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC. WHEN I ASKED HOW THE DETERMINATION WAS MADE AS TO WHICH VEHICLES WERE COVERED AND HOW THE COVERAGE WAS EXTENDED, I COULD NOT GET A ANSWER. IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT A VEHICLE OF THE SAME CLASS AS MINE IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT. NEITHER DO I UNDERSTAND WHY I COULD NOT BE TOLD BY CHRYSLER IF THEY HAD ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AT THE...

AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, MY CAR STALLED AS I WAS GETTING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY DANGEROUS. IT STALLED AGAIN A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND THEN IT WAS FINE AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN AFTER REFUELING. SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING ITS THE EVAP CANISTER. APPARENTLY THERE'S A VALVE THAT GETS STUCK OPEN AND LET'S LIQUID FUEL FLOOD THE ENGINE. IT'S SUPPOSED TO ONLY ALLOW FUEL VAPORS TO GET TO THE ENGINE. *JS

PURCHASED CAR USED AND WITHIN 24 HOURS HAD CAR STALL ON ME TOTALING ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW WITHIN 2 WEEKS. IT HAS STALLED EVERYWHERE FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO IDLING AND WHILE IN REVERSE. CAR STARTS BACK UP WITHOUT PROBLEM IF PUT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. HAVE HAD FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED, NEW SPARK PLUGS ( MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED COPPER) AND ALL NEW IGNITION COILS. DEALERSHIP SAID THE STALLING WAS CAUSED BY OLD SPARK PLUGS AND WORN IGNITION COILS BUT CONTINUES TO STALL AFTER ALL OF THESE WERE REPLACED. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM GOING, BUT SEEMS TO STALL MORE WHEN I REACH AROUND A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES IN TRAFFIC AND WHILE ENTERING AND EXITING HIGHWAY. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS AND FAMILY IN THE CAR, THERE IS NO WARNING OF STALL AND...

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN TIMES OR MORE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT ON TWO OCCASSIONS IF THE OTHER DRIVER HADN'T RAN INTO A DITCH WE BOTH COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THIS TIME. I KNOW IT'S GOING TO STALL AFTER I FILL IT UP. I NOW GET GAS CLOSE TO A LARGE DEPARTMENT STORE WITH ACCESS TO THERE PARKING LOT WHERE I CAN DRIVE TILL IT FINISHES IT'S 3 TO 4 TIMES OF STALLING ON FILL UP. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OVER THIS ISSUE.

AFTER REFUELING, MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AS MY CHILDREN AND I WERE LEAVING THE GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE DRIVING. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION AND WOULD "JUMP" AROUND. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND EPS LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER,TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND MANUALLY TURNED THE EPS LIGHT OFF. THE CAR STARTED, THE EPS LIGHT WENT OFF, BUT ON OCCASION ON IT WOULD LOSE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR NEEDS REPLACING BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR SINCE HE KEEPS GETTING DIFFERENT CODES EACH TIME HE DOES DIAGNOSTIC. *JB

(11-9-2006) CAR STALLED 4 TIMES IN A ROW. THE STALLING HAS CONTINUED UP TO YESTERDAY (9-15-2013). THE CAR WOULD STALL AT A STOP OR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND AT RANDOM TIMES FROM A FEW DAYS UP TO 3 OR 4 MONTHS. THE DEALER NEVER HAD A SOLUTION. I HAVE REPLACED MANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS RECOMMENDED BY THE DEALER INCLUDING THE PCM. BEFORE I CHANGED THE PCM, I WOULD HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE SWITCH TO RESTART THE CAR. AFTER I REPLACED THE PCM THE CAR WILL STILL STALL, BUT THEN WILL "KICK START" ITSELF IF I AM GOING OVER 25 MPH. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL STALL 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THEN RUN GREAT FOR A MONTH OR 2. IT IS ALWAYS RANDOM. I HAVE LOOKED INTO RENTING A BLACKBOX TO INSTALL IN MY CAR TO CAPTURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, HOWEVER THE DEALER SAYS THAT A RECORDER...
