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.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact mentioned that most of the times the failure occurred was immediately after completely filling her fuel tank . The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician stated that she was probably over filling the fuel tank and as a result, the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 230,000.

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.
