I purchased my vehicle used 2 weeks ago. Initially the vehicle was running fine until I filled it up with fuel. As soon as I pulled out of the gas station my vehicle started stalling as if I was losing power to my vehicle. After a few miles the stalling stopped. In the past few weeks the stalling has become worse every time I pump fuel. It shuts off if I'm idle at a light, it shuts off when I'm attempting to park, turn left, or in a drive thru. As soon as I would crank my vehicle up and go to accelerate the car won't move until after a few seconds and then it just jerks out before a smooth drive. Yesterday I took it to a Chrysler dealership because after informing the used car sales lot where I purchased the vehicle they couldn't find the issue and wanted to keep my car for a week. After 10 hours of trying to find the issue they stated there had been a recall on the fuel tank for 2006 Chrysler 300s. He said that should fix the problem and I should be on my way. So I was relieved to hear the great news coming from the Chrysler dealership. Well after heading home and 20 miles out from the dealership there goes the stalling again last night. My vehicle shut off at the light and again as soon as I attempted to park my vehicle in the driveway. In addition to the fuel system issue is causing another issue that I truly fee wasn't investigated thoroughly. I noticed a recall on 2006 Chrysler pacifica where the stalling was caused by the fuel system, tcm, and pcm module basically dealing with the power train and this is very highly the same issue going on with 2006 Chrysler 300. There should've been a recall on both and there isn't. This is very dangerous as when I stalled onto the freeway I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler truck on last week. The tcm and pcm codes along with the fuel system code were showing in the diagnostic issue yesterday. Help please.

My car shuts off when I fill the tank. It shuts of when in motion.

Turned ignition, car starts right up, then stalls. After several attempts car becomes drive-able but stalls while driving, stopping and turning. At this point steering wheel locks and turning becomes difficult which is scary while in traffic. This problem occurs periodically, sometimes the car will drive okay and then starts stalling. Had this same problem in 2013, took to dealer and had to have gas tank replaced at a cost of $1300. 00 dollars.

I filled up my gas tank, drove approximately 2 miles and came to a stop sign. At the stop I experienced a erratic idle followed by my car shutting off. I stared it back up and for about 5 seconds it still and a very erratic idle. I was able to get out of the street but it could have been very dangerous.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that there were strong fumes of fuel emitting on the outside and inside of the vehicle. The contact indicated that upon re-fueling the fuel tank, the fuel gage was not showing the fuel staying at the correct level. The contact noticed a leak under the vehicle from the rear to the front as the failure progressed and there was an abnormal noise when the vehicle was being driven. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection and diagnosis to determine the failure but the contact was not able to schedule a repair so the vehicle was towed to a parking lot due to the leak of the strong fumes of fuel. The towing company noticed an extensive leak and parked the vehicle. The contact received notification from the state to move the vehicle due to the fuel leak fumes being a hazard within the community it was parked. The vehicle was towed to a second dealer and they did not diagnose the source of where there failure was coming from and the vehicle was still at the dealers for weeks. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting to determine how the failure occured and the remedy to repair the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was not available.

I drive a 2006 300c hemi w/60k miles. I bought this car from a friend. This car has been in this city since 2006. Mid day temps 105'. I was running errands in town. I had stopped at 7 different locations, turned the vehicle off and a few minutes later returned to the car and continued with my errands. I was in the car sitting at a 4 lane intersection waiting for my turn and I looked down at the dash and the oil can light came on, then traffic started to move and I couldn't, my car had stalled. I turned off the a/c unit, the radio and put it in park. I tried 6 or so times to get the car to start but it wouldn't . I engaged my flashers while other drivers were honking and driving around me. I left it in traffic and got to the sidewalk out of danger. I was calling for help when a motorist pulled up behind my car and asked whats wrong. I told him it just died, sitting still waiting for our turn to go thru the intersection. He got in the car that had been sitting there for about 5 minutes and it started right up and he drove it to a safe parking lot. I parked the car in my garage and there it sits. I am afraid to get stranded in traffic again. I did some research on the web and found that Chrysler announced on Feb 13, 2014 Chrysler extends lifetime warranty on 2006, 5. 7 and 6. 1 hemi fuel tanks. Apparently, no one has died yet so it does not quality for a recall but this is a known problem. I would like to know how I can qualify for this warranty?.

It runs quiet and everything it just cut off on me while I was on brake at a stopping position, I was at a light on my brakes and it cut off on me, I just bought it yesterday, and filled my tank up. . . I love this car, what is wrong with it?.

My Chrysler 300 2006 has been stalling at low speeds and when stopped after refueling. I took the vehicle to the dealership to have them check the problem for the first time in June. They did not find anything so I continued to deal with the issue until September because the issue got worse and stalled on the expressway. I received a notice from Chrysler about my vehicle having a recall and to set up service. Only after I brought the notice to the dealer did the acknowledge that this was the reason my car was stalling so much. They said the repairs were covered under warranty and they would order the fuel tank. This was over a month ago the dealership still has not received the parts. I recently was in a car accident because of this defect, my vehicle stalled on on the road and caused a 4 car pile up. I have contacted Chrysler and they are not trying to resolve the issue.

This is not a complaint, but info for other Chrysler owners with the fuel fill/stalling problem. We just received a letter from Chrysler, telling us they have issued a lifetime warranty on the components causing this problem. We made an appointment and had our 2006 300 fixed in 2 days! the fuel tank and internal valves were replaced after removing the exhaust and driveline. The job took 5-6 hours and we were not charged a cent! the car is again running very well without stalling. Thank you, Chrysler!.

At a stop or low speed the car will sputter, chug, jump and die. No dash indicator lights come on. Car will restart. It may occur at stop lights, in the middle of intersections or when parking. I was told by the Chrysler dealer service department that it was a fuel tank problem. They told me it was the same problem many other Chrysler 300's have been had, but my model was not covered under the recall. I have seen numerous complaints online from many people with the same symptoms. I see that other Chrysler models have been covered under a NHTSA action number: pe13016. In my case, I do not know if the problem has anything to do with the fuel level or the tank being recently filled. It is serious safety concern since the car can die in the middle of an intersection, or maybe in a parking lot when you are parking, or braking for other cars or pedestrians. When you suddenly have no power and can't control the vehicle it is very scary and dangerous. Please help address this issue and get these tanks covered under warranty. Thank you.

After I fill my tank the vehicle will stall over and over. This has happened many times.

Right after I fueled my Chrysler 300c, the engine stalled a number of times. At a red light it felt like my car surged forward as I kept my foot on the brake. It did not start right away after I put it in neutral but turned over after several attempts. We brought it to our Chrysler dealer where we bought the vehicle and was advised about the fuel tank and that it needed to be replaced costing upwards of $3,000.

Very shortly after refueling my car (probably driven less than 1000 feet) the car shuttered and stalled. It restarted immediately but then shut down again within the mile. Again, it started immediately and I had no more problems until the next time I filled the tank and it stalled again almost immediately upon exiting the gas station. Again, it restarted on the first try and I had no more problems for the rest of the trip or since. However, I have not refueled since; so don't know what will happen when I do. I have taken it to a dealer and it is deemed I need a new gas tank. Gas tanks should not wear out and our car is low mileage and in mint condition. This seems like a faulty design problem. It is clearly a safety issue with my car and I suspect with others who own the same model. (I did not "top off" the tank on either occasion. ).

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle failed to start.

Filled up tank at local gas station. . After starting, the engine stalled out at the gas station. Restarted the engine and headed home, which is one block from the station. Pulled into driveway and the engine stalled again. Momentum carried me under the carport. Restarted engine 5 more times. Each time it stalled out. Had to find alternate transportation for out of town trip. Cannot safely drive this vehicle with this continued issue. 300c.

A strong odor of gasoline ocurs every time the fuel tank is filled to 3/4 th. Or more. The gastank has been replaced once, the fuel level seal on top the tank has been replaced. And the tank has been pressurized to try to find the cause, but to no avail. This has been going on for several months, and the dealer remedies have not eliminated the problem. Less fuel in the tank eliminates the strong odor of gasoline. When parked, the odor is worse. The garage is dangerously filled with gasoline fumes.

We bought this car new. My wife fill her gas tank and when driving off the gas lot, her vehicle died almost causing an accident. This has happen almost every time she gets gas. I feel this is a real safety issue and from reading many, many other complaints, this seems to be a very common problem with this vehicle. It seems as though Chrysler has replaced the gas tank on the 2006 model but not the 2005. Why has there not been a recall on this. I know I will be contacting my attorney if there is an accident due to this issue.

Filled up gas tank and as I was pulling out off gas station car shut off. I turned the car off and on again and it started, drove apx fifty feet and car shut off again, luckily I had already pulled over to the side of the road. Towed the car to the shop, was told the gas needed to burn off a little. Worked but had three more incident since then. Apparent the fuel tank when filled up expand and fuel get into the engine. Can't afford to fix the problem, been lay off going on three years now.

Everytime I fill up my fuel tank or even put maybe about $30 worth of fuel in my car it randomly stalls out while driving. This has happened several times and has been dangerous. In intersections, after getting off a highway and while driving on the street. This is not safe. I have taken this car for several repairs. I now have a new battery, starter, and altenator. The dealer checked it and told me to fix this it will be $1100 or more and that may not fix the problem.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that immediately after refueling, the vehicle would stall without warning. The contact spoke with an independent mechanic, who stated that the fuel tank needed to be dropped in order to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 39,860.

I already have filed a complaint about this matter. I found that Chrysler has agreed to replace fuel tanks as a recall on his vehicle on Feb. 10,2014 , pe13016. Recall letters to be sent out starting Jan. 2014. I have not received a letter. I called Chrysler (1-800-247-9753) they are not aware of this recall. I questioned this and the operator (employer #1402) had no answer. I have a case # with them #24783702. And although the NHTSA thinks this is not a safety problem I beg to differ. This car has stalled after refueling at speeds up to 55 mph or faster. This is a $1500 or more repair I was told & would like to have Chrysler take care of this. Thank you, george ginda.

Vehicle constantly stalls after fuel fill up no matter where I get gas it has been doing this since late oct now and it is dangerous to drive like this if I have to go out of town. It stops about 3 to 5 times after I fill tank with fuel then after a while it stops. This is very frustrating and I'm concerned as to why there isn't a recall on this vehicle for this since there have been many complaints.

The vehicle began repeatedly stalling after being filled with gas and at low speeds. This went on for months. My son had the vehicle in another town and when he returned to our house we took it to our mechanic who diagnosed a fuel valve problem. We then took it to the poway Chrysler dealer who agreed with the diagnosis. They said it was a fuel tank vent valve failure causing fuel to be sucked up into intake purge line. Excessive fuel was seen by the powertrain control module and they proceeded to repair the problem by installing a new fuel tank. Although this is apparently a well documented problem in 2006 Chrysler 300s, my car was not covered in a recent decision by Chrysler to extend the fuel tank warranty.
