The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. While the vehicle was parked in a garage, the contact smelled an extremely strong odor of fuel outside of the vehicle. In addition, a small amount of fuel leaked onto the ground. The fire department stated the fuel leakage originated from the top portion of the fuel tank. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the permanent defect. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Chrysler 300c 2005. After a fuel tank fillup starting from less than 1/2 tank, for the 1st 10 minutes of run time, the car stalls repeatedly with loss of power, braking, and steering. After a small amount of driving the problem stops and normal driving continues. When the engine stalls, there is a complete loss of power and steering. While no accident occurred, it could have easily caused one. I searched on line and found that this could be caused by a recirc valve. This has been replaced and the problem has not been resolved. Every fill up from lot level results in stalling for several minutes of driving time.
