Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2006 Chrysler 300

My 2006 Chrysler 300 died several times after filling the fuel tank on several different dates. It was very scary, this occurred most recently on 11/27/19.

Every time you fill the vehicle with gas, the car dies shortly after fueling with out any kind of warning. After you drive a little ways and burn some of the fuel from the tank, the car runs fine. The driver has no warning and the car has trouble starting after it dies. I was almost in a serious accident because I pulled out of the gas station after filling with fuel. I was in heavy traffic and the car died. The car is quite and I didn't realized the car died. I just kept pressing on the gas peddle until I observed the rpm gauge was on zero. I had no warning. I bought this vehicle used with low mileage. I thought is was a isolated incident, but sadly was wrong. It happens every time you fill it up with gas and may die once or several times. There are no pre-warnings for the vehicle stalling. All acceleration, powers steering, and power brakes were gone with out warning. A quick search on the internet reviled this is a defect in the gas tank design and Chrysler has not stepped up to fix this. Chrysler said the only fix is a new fuel tank and they are are aware of the issue. Chrysler also change the design of the fuel tank in later models because of the defect please hold the maker accountable for dangerous and life threatening defect.

After filling gas engine stalks shot off and while driving engine quit running and now when trying to fill tank pump st gas station stop is hard to fill up the tank.

After filling up the gas tank, the vehicle started stalling right after I started driving away from the gas station. I was in the middle of the road, during a heavy traffic hour on city street. After turning off the vehicle and waiting a few minutes, I was able to restart but the vehicle stalled again. This has happened quite often. I have brought the vehicle to the dealership and they said nothing is wrong, but the problem keeps getting worse. After talking with them today, they said to bring the vehicle in almost full of gas and they will top it off and check for the stalling. This is the first time they acknowledged this issue. I am concerned about driving the vehicle to the dealership, knowing it will stall in traffic. The cost to repair if not covered is approx. $1,500. I asked about the extended lifetime coverage and was told to contact you. My problem matches exactly what is documented in your investigation document pe 13-016.

The vehicle will stall or buck when you are driving after filling your gas tank.

5 min after filling the fuel tank, going approximately 15 mph, the car started lurching forward. Turned onto a side street, pressed gas pedal and the car completely died. Then restarted as if normal. We had 2 grandchildren in the car on a very busy street. This could easily have created an accident. Researched this problem, found there was a recall for the exact problem. But, when I entered the VIN on this site, it states no recalls for this VIN. What is my next step? I just bought the car and the original owner is deceased so I can't obtain any info/history on the car.

After filling with fuel strong fuel smell and engine coming on with a code of fuel tank pressure had check tank is leaking from top.

Shortly after filling gas tank, whether standing or at considerable speed, car stalls several times. When at highway speed (ie 65 mph on route 80) car will shudder and then restart itself; at slow speed driver must restart manually by shifting into neutral and using ignition. If parked at idle, car will just stop several times. Occurs at all levels of gas tank prior to refill. (I am forced to select a date, below, but it has happen many times in the last four months that I have owned the car. ).

After filling gas tank ( full) the car stalls for the first couple of miles. Then stop shortly after. This is happening more and more. There was a recall for the 2005-2006 models with the 5. 7 and 6. 1 liter engines, but not for the 3. 5 liter that I own even though I have found through the Chrysler forums this is a problem for many of these model ( 2005-20006) Chrysler gave a life time warranty to the 5. 7 and 6. 1 liter models , but not mine. Even though this is the same dangerous problem as those vehicles.

The car stalls at stops after filling the tank completely I have noticed a lifetime warranty extension on these cars but Chrysler tells me mine has no recalls for this.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300. While driving 2 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. After filling up the fuel tank, the vehicle stalled on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 230,000.

I have a Chrysler 300 c 2006 I've had it for about a year now it's definitely been causing my a lot off issues and I've done research on this car a lot of others having same issues as such as me . Issue such ass car stopping while driving after filling up gas tank , and lower control arms falling off car while driving which is not safe and I have a small child which can be deadly driving in this car for both of us. I can't afford to fix these issues I really need to know what I can do about this.

After filling tank with gas, the car stalls and dies in traffic and after stopping at light. Was told by dealership that they must verify that it happens. Well after havng the car for 3 days, they say that they cannot duplicate the problem. So therefore will not perform the replacement. Very dangerous and frustrating!! so will wait until accident happens or recall ifs finally issued!!!! this has happened to me 4-5 times in 3 days.

I own a 2006 Chrysler 300 after filling my tank with gas I left the gas station, aprx. . 2 blocks away from the station my engine lost power and the engine light came on and off it regained power after about a block this is a serious problem that many people have had . I called Chrysler they said my vehicle was not covered Chrysler knows they have a problem . They won't do anything about it until someone gets killed .

After filling tank with gas and driving off from gas station, the car misses, bucks and stalls out. Stalls 3/4 times before I can continue driving. Car will miss and buck several more times before running normal. I am the original owner of Chrysler 300 with a hemi engine. I received no notification from Chrysler informing me of this problem. This is a dangerous problem that Chrysler needs to remedy for all cars involved.

This has been going on for at least 6 months. Everytime I fill my tank up with gas, stop at a stop light, the car cuts off. It cuts off everytime I stop after filling the tank. Yesterday 10/28/2014, I filled and got on the highway, slowed to traffic and almost died. A car was coming full speed behind me, there was nothing I could do but pray. The car started and I was able to pull off. I had panic attach and I refuse to drive this car again! please help!!.

After filling car with fuel car starts bucking and stalls. Restarts and bucks and stalls a few more times then runs fine until next time we fill up. We cannot fill the fuel tank up or take a serious chance of having car stall in traffic. I have asked Chrysler if there was a recall or fix for this and was told by service manger that he was not aware. They suggested that I need fuel tank unit $1,158. 00. I have read that many people are having same problems and only fix is to pay for a new gas tank as this is only fix. Chrysler should fix this for no charge as it is part of the emission system. I'm terrified to have my son in the car that we'll be hurt or killed by this flaw in the fuel tank. I hope we can get some help to get this repaired. Thanks.

Filled car and it stalled out. After restarting and driving a little while seemed fine. Recentley 11/2/14 and today 11/11/14 after filling gas tank sames isse two weeks in a row. I saw a lifetime extention of warranty come a few months back. I just want to get in line for recall.

After filling my tank my car wouldn't start. Called my husband waited for him approx 15 minutes and car started. As I left the gas station and accelerated the car stalled in the middle of a 3 lane busy street. I coasted with no power to the right and turned on my hazards. After multiple attempts to restart it I had it towed to my mechanic. He couldn't find anything wrong, picked it up next day, seemed fine. Started filling tank to 3/4, accidentally filled full 1x since, same problem last night. Called 2 Chrysler dealers this morning (4/8/14) to fix problem. They said Chrysler is working on fix, nothing they can do. Sooooooooo dangerous!!!!!! this is wrong, I have little kids and I am scared to death car will die in middle of intersection.

Vehicle stalling shortly after fill up. Problem accrues using different filling stations. Fuel tank was not "toped off". Has happened multiple times. After fill up, starts and runs fine for a short time. Seams to straiten out after fuel dopes in tank. Restarting can be hard.

Everytime the car was filled up, it stalls a few times. This had been happenning a lot during this pst year and still currently happpens. Luckily I was able to pull over when the car stalled, otherewise it will create accident. This is dangerous when driving on the crowded traffic. After it stalls couple times, the engine got gloded and it is difficult to start(this was the same time-dame day after filling up the tank). I brought it to the mechanic and he said he can't find anything since at the time he got the car to check, it doesn't stall.

After filling the gas tank, in phoenix, az, entering an intersection, the car stalled! we were almost hit by a car coming from another direction. It did this (stalling) many times. Scary! apparently they issued an internal memo in June of 2013. In may, 2014 Chrysler sent a letter to us extending the gas tank warranty to a lifetime coverage. They said it was the "fuel shut-off float, in the multifunction control valve sticks, which may result in the vehicle stalling after refueling. " "smply contact your dealer to have the re pairs performed". Challenge the dealers do not have any fuel tanks. Glendale, CA Chrysler has a waiting list of 2,276 yesterday, October 1, 2014. We are and have been #8 at hunter Dodge in lancaster, CA since early may. We never fill the tank. It is too great a risk! help please.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was advised to stop filling the fuel tank to capacity. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis but the cause for the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 60,000.

I have a 2006 Chrysler 300c bought it new and never had any problems until 2012 when we were traveling for the holidays and stopped to refuel. After filling the tank we started the car and proceeded to drive, the car started bucking and then would shut off. It did this twice before it stopped and then drove fine for the rest of the trip. It did the same thing on our way home after filling the gas tank but after doing it several times it drove fine for the rest of the trip. Once home the car drove fine until I filled it up with gas and the problem started again. It bucks and then stalls, sometimes it will start right away and other times I had to let it sit a while. This has happened in the middle of an intersection, at a stop light and while just driving along. This is scary as well as dangerous because not only does it stop anywhere which could cause another car to hit you, the steering wheel locks and on one occasion I almost hit another car because I couldn't steer out of the way during a turn. Took it to the dealership and was told I need to replace the gas tank gave me info about cannisters and vapors and not being something that is serviceable. Of course it's going to be expensive but this type of problem is a danger on the road could lead to a serious accident.

After filling up the gas tank, the car stalls when at speeds of less than 15 miles per hour. It stalls in the middle of intersections and on turning on to streets. Took the car into the Chrysler dealer and they informed us that the gas tank had to be replaced because of bad evap solenoid which is permanently affixed to the fuel tank. It is very dangerous to drive after filling up because of the chance of being rear ended.

After refilling the gas tank of my 2006 300c Chrysler, it stumbls as though it is no longer getting enough fuel. There is a definite and serious loss of power, with concern for our safety as we exit the gas station and reenter traffic. There is a sense that the engine is struggling and would stall. The loss of power repeats several more times as we drive further from the gas station. This problem has presented itself almost every time we refuel and is cause for real concern for our safety. Based on advice from other 300c owners, we plan to no longer fill the tank, but stop at about the 3/4 mark. This does not seem to be a very effective solution to a genuine safety issue.

After refilling the vehicle with gasoline I travel about a mile from the service station and while coming to a traffic light the vehicle rpm began to decrease until the car engine shut off; I was able to restart the engine and the vehicle drove a short distance and began to stall again. I restarted the vehicle and was able to get the vehicle off the road into a parking lot; after sitting briefly I restarted the vehicle and drove it to tire kingdom to have it checked, the technician scan the vehicle and determined that there was no codes available to determined what caused the malfunction. He took the vehicle for a test drive but was not able to duplicate the discrepancy; in his opinion since the vehicle tank had just got filled more that likely the problem was caused by a vapor lock. I was told since the problem could not be duplicated to continue with my travel and if the problem returned to return the vehicle back for evaluation.

I filled up the gas tank and shortly after entering the highway and accelerating the engine stalled on me in the middle of traffic. It took several attempts to restart. Since then it has stalled on me every time I fill up the gas tank so I have only been filling it 3/4 full and I have no problem. I found out there was a recall for the problem (pe13-016) and called Chrysler but was told my VIN number was not covered even though it fit the exact criteria of the recall. Chrysler could not tell me why my vehicle was not covered.

After filling up the fuel tank, after approximately 30 seconds the engine shut down. It was hard to restart, but finally restarted. When pulling out fromt the fueling station, the car began to buck and jerk intermittently. When stopped at a red light, it stalled again. I restarted the car. When I proceeded when the light turned green, the car again stalled. This occured for the next 5-6 miles, then stopped occurring. This happened every time I refilled the fuel tank. Since ooa 15 December 2011, I cannot fill my fuel tank and have to stop it before the nozzle shuts if off. If I inadvertenly let it fill until the nozzle clicks off (doesn't matter the fueling pump/station), it will buck and stall for the next several miles until some of the fuel is burned off in the tank.

After filling car it stalled as pulling away from fuel island,restarted drove 1/8 mi to stop sign ,stalled restarted ,did this 4 times in a row ,did not trust car for planned trip,used other car. Has happened total of 6 times now ,if car sets for a couple of hours after refueling it is ok . Only has happened at refilling tank,we do not keep clicking nozzle,to get most in . Has almost caused accident with my wife(her car,loves it ) after fill up, car stalled going around a turn and she almost hit a stone wall,lost of brakes,steering. (only time it has stalled while driving. ) 99% as coming to stop, and always restarts right away.

After filling up my fuel tank I would notice the engine stall. This is very dangerous especially when I'm crossing an intersection or getting on a freeway.

Vehicle stalled in public roadway following filling gas tank. Struggled to get engine restarted. Kept dying. Managed to get rpms up but could not engage transmission. After some delay transmission engaged and was able to drive vehicle out of traveled way. I was blocking traffic. The engine would continue to repeat dying and I would have to pull over and perform restart sequence. This continued for several miles. At first, thought engine was experiencing vapor lock. Also had thought I had purchased a bad tank of gas and my fuel filter was plugged. I was out of town and took the car into local Chrysler dealer at that time. They told me it was my battery and charged me for a new one plus installation. When I returned home the next day some 250 miles away I found the car acted up again after I filled it up with gas. I contacted my local Chrysler dealer who indicated there could be a problem with the fuel delivery system and being my car was out of warranty all cost for investigating to determine the problem and the actual work to make the repair would be on me. They could not give me any idea as to the possible toyal cost. I opted not give them a blank check and did not have them dismantle the car. I found that I can avoid the stalling if I don't fill the tank full. A sad solution to a faulty fuel delivery system. I'm the original owner of the car and have religiously cared for it. I have never received any documentation from Chrysler regarding offering to correct the float (which now they have concluded is the problem). To set a deadline on January 2014 without notification of the owners is poor business. If that is their position than I will do my best to discourage anyone from buying their vehicles. They should have had a recall by notifying all the owners. I do get mailers from several Chrysler dealerships and they have all my records!! shame on you, Chrysler!!!.

After filling my tank with gas ( I do not overfill ) I turn my gas cap at least 1/2 turn start the car put it in gear and start driving. After a minute or so the car stalls. I have to stop put it in park turn key to off position and re-start the car. This has happened to me while in an intersection , while making a turn and if your not strong enough to turn the wheel because the power steering pump quit your in trouble big trouble. This stalling happens 2 to 3 times after filling the tank than stops until the next fuel stop. This is a saftey issue. You never know exactly when your going to stall but you know it's comming and hope your not crossing traffic or in an intersection. Very dangerous ! I have told my dealership of the problem when this started but no action was ever taken. Wilde Chrysler in waukesha WI.
