Car Stall problems of the 2005 Chrysler 300C

Every time I fill my gas tank up the car oil light comes on and it stalls. Sometimes it does this 2 or 3 times then it runs ok until its time to fill car up again, then the same thing happens.

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300c. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. Failure codes appeared after the vehicle was retrieved. Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram fiat of santa fe (4470 cerrillos rd, santa fe, nm 87507, (505) 629-0746) stated that there appeared to be an electrical failure and were checking all the wiring on the harness with multiple codes appearing. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 81,000. The VIN was unknown.

My car stalls while driving periodically stalls when the car is at idle. It even stallls going down the highway at speeds 65. We have changed everything possible except the engine. The car starts right up after stall but will stall in traffic. I have looked at many forums and they all say the same thing numerous complaints of car shutting off while driving. I have checked all recalls. This is a major safety concern. This happens everyday.

This car will stall at completely random intervals. It has done it at speed, on acceleration, on deceleration, at stops. Occasionally the cruise control will not function correctly. The car will also spit, sputter and buck at speeds above 35mph. When this happens, there is a total loss of power steering, brakes, etc. In order to restart the car, it requires being placed into neutral or park, and trying at least 3 times before engine will run again. The car will usually continue to stall 3-10 times. On returning to "drive" the car will usually stay stationary for another 5-10 seconds before surging forward. Reverse does not have this effect. Car has been checked by several mechanics, who can pull no codes, and don't seem to have any clue what is causing the intermittent issue. It is very dangerous situation, as there is no warning the car is about to stall, and there is no pattern to when it will stall. In googling the issue, I was able to find the Chrysler campaign x53 extended warranty on "some" 2006 300cs, but when I called the Chrysler dealer to check my VIN, I was told my car is not covered under this known defective gas tank. The message boards have many instances of people describing this exact issue for this exact car. This a seriously life threatening issue.

Car stalls with no warning or engine lights/codes. While driving(very dangerous!!).

Every time I completely fill my tank my car will occasionally stall at traffic lights or driving. After a few times restarting the engine it will be fine until I fill the tank again. It seems to happen mostly when the tank goes below 1 quarter of the tank. I have seen complaints before from other makes about a fuel float valve in the tank that can send a signal to your computer that the tank is empty and shut the engine off. Why is this not a recall for this model? there is definitely a danger in traffic situations.

We were on a cross-country trip and one night we had just filled up and went across the parking lot to a fast food window and while getting our food the car starting jerking and died. It was hard to start but finally we were able to go a little further and it died at our hotel. The rest of the way home whenever we filled up the car would stall several times. It stopped for awhile but recently has started dying again when I fill up. Last night I filled up and the car died several times in traffic. We do not overfill and tighten the gas cap tightly.

After filling up my car with gas the car stalls. This has happened several times after filling up and is a safety concern. The car stalls when driving at any speed. Car restarts but if on highway all power is lost - safety concern.

I have a Chrysler 300c 2005. The car stalled 4 times on the freeway for no apparent reason. It seems to be when I was in traffic and I would slow down to about 30-40 mph and then the car would stall. Very dangerous. The steering would lock up and I would have to put the car in park to start the car again. Not something you would want to have happen with your family in the car.

Car stalls after full or partial fill-up at gas station. Very dangerous if stall occurs when in freeway traffic or when making turns in front of oncoming traffic!!.

I purchased my Chrysler 300c on 1/8/2014. I left the dealership with an almost full tank of gas and experienced no problems until the next fill up. Right after filling up my gas tank, and making sure not to top it off as the manual suggests, I suddenly experienced the car jerking, almost like a down shift feeling, and then it stalled. I was just leaving the gas station. I drove another mile and then made a turn into my subdivision and it did it again. I immediately called the dealership and took it in to have them check it out. They supposedly hooked it up to the computer and said that nothing was detected. They asked if any lights came on and I told them only the oil light. They test drove it and said there was nothing wrong. The next couple of times I filled up I used a prepaid gas card which didn't totally fill up my tank so I didn't experience any problems. Today I filled my tank, this time my husband was in the car and as soon as we left the gas station the car started jerking, like a sudden downshift. . . . Finally, I had a witness! we drove about 5 miles to a car wash, and upon approaching the entrance it stalled again! I started the car again to enter the wash and once it was in neutral it stalled again. I am very nervous and scared to drive my car!!! why isn't there a recall to fix this problem?.

I have a hemi engine. Within the last year it started stalling on me when my gas tank was on empty and I filed it up. On the freeway a few times and it stalls!! I took to different shops and they could not figure out. Now my problem is getting worse. It stalls on me multiple times after gas. It spit and jerks. Completely dangerous. I am a accident injury adjuster that does claims everyday all day, and if I get into an accident because of this , I will sue both Chrysler and NHTSA. Someone please respond as I am getting very frustrated and want this covered under warranty.

After fueling up my Chrysler 300c, my car stalled and completely shut down (approximately 2 miles after fill up). Luckily, I was in the parking lot of my work at the time, so I was only going 5-10 mph. Unfortunately, the power steering completely froze and I was unable to park the car, so the car was resting in the right-of-way of other cars driving in the lot. Also, I came two inches from hitting a tree since I could not steer the car away from any objects in my path. Thank goodness the breaks still worked. I was unable to restart the car for a few minutes. After approx. 10 minutes of resting the car in the middle of the parking lot, the car restarted with a "pop" noise. Once we got the car started, I was able to park it in a safe spot. I am now afraid to drive my car, especially in traffic or on the freeway at higher rates of speed. I am a single mom with two young kids and it really has me freaked out to think that we could be involved in an accident should this happen again. Obviously, the safety of my children, myself and any other innocent person on the road has me concerned. I'm the original owner, and I never topped off the tank. Please recall the fuel tank on these cars as they are not safe. Also, please include the 2005 year in your investigation.

Every time after gas fill up from the first time in Dec 2012 to now, this car stalls after fill up. I purchased this car new in may 2004 from Chrysler dealer and all service has been with bosak Chrysler. I was thinking gas filters, but until I checked here to find out if there was any recall, found that too many others have this same problem. I don't see any notifications filed by Chrysler, are we all to assume that Chrysler is not attempting to address this situation.

I purchased this 2005 Chrysler 300c on November 20, 2013 from hoover Chrysler dealership and ever since then the car has been stalling out every time I get gas and I do not over fill my tank but do fill it up to almost full. Anyways this problem can cause serious injuries I've had it stall out on the highway and all going at high speeds. I can't believe that this car is doing this I traded my 2010 Dodge charger sxt which wasn't the hemi for a hemi and feel like I got a worst engine. Anyways I really hope this problem is fixed by Chrysler I've spent alot on repairs and this isn't fair that the buyer has to deal with this type of problem I've owned plenty of cars and never have had this happen so obviously Chrysler is responsible!.

After I filled the gas tank, I started the engine, less than a minute later the car stalled. It stalled twice before I left the gas station and as I was turning into traffic. It stalled again several times after I pulled into a side street to get out of the main traffic area. After a few minutes of the engine running and driving at low speed, the stalling stopped. I will include, I did not overfill, I never do. Now it happens every time I fill up the tank. This is a safety issue as I almost got rear ended twice and hope you can do something to resolve this matter.

We purchased our 2005 Chrysler 300c on may 24, 2013 with 49,755 miles on vehicle. We picked up vehicle on may 25th from dealer and went to gas station to fill up gas tank. Upon leaving the gas station the car stalled and lost all power. Tried to restart vehicle and after two times it started again but still chugged and wouldn't pick up speed. This continued to happen until after the car was driven for about 10 miles. This did not happen again right away and after reading owners manual we just thought maybe it had been sitting long at dealer or something. On June 17th we again had to fill up the gas tank and upon doing so the same thing happened with the stalling, chugging and just not running correctly. While turning left the car stalled again and I had a very hard time restarting. In the mean while other cars were coming at me from both behind me and in front of me. This really scared me so I called a local Chrysler dealership and was told that they had no idea what it could be and we should bring it in. At that point I decided to look on internet to check for recalls and ended up finding the numerous complaints from people having the exact same issue with their 2005 Chrysler 300c as we have. The only way to solve this very dangerous problem is to either not fill the tank all the way or have a new tank installed at a cost of anywhere from $1500. 00 all the way up to $2500. 00 which is ridiculous considering this really seems to be a manufacturing defect on Chrysler's part. Is it going to take a serious accident possibly leading in a death for Chrysler to act on this problem? this is a very dangerous issue and will eventually cause a fatal accident.

Hi, when fueling the 2005 Chrysler 300c to full, the car will drive and stall randomly. It's unpredictable and happens each time you fill the tank. It's repetitive and can be duplicated always. It's certainly very hazardous to drive, and I have almost been hit twice trying to enter the roadway when it stalls, and it takes a min to actually get it started again if it actually does start. This has been happening since around the 50k mile mark. This needs your immediate attention, and quite many 300c owners have this same very problem.

Was in my father's '05 Chrysler 300c, stopped at a red light. Engine shut itself off, steering column locked, and the oil pressure light came on. I turned the vehicle off and turned it back on again, and it continued to work fine. Upon searching the internet for causes to this problem, I quickly found that this is a very common problem. Lots of people have had their 300 stall on them, and apparently the computer in the car does not have a record of the system fail, or the warning lights on the dashboard coming on. The repairs appear to be in the $1200 - $2000 range. Seems like something Chrysler should make their dealers fix for free, seeing as it is very clearly a manufacturer's error. Having learned of the treatment Chrysler's customers receive, I will be sure not to bring my money to them when I need a car of my own.

Car stalls when coming to a stop , hard to restart only after fill up at gas station with full tank of gas, reaches 3/4 tank of gas car runs fine.

Vehicle stalls one or more times after refueling, particularly while decelerating. Vehicle may then lurch several times before resuming normal operation, which usually occurs after 5-10 minutes of driving. Problem is intermittent but ongoing. Mechanic has not been able to resolve problem.

2005 Chrysler 300 hemi 5. 7. If you almost fill gas tank, the car will stall out without warning for approximately two days. I have asked the local dealer. They show no TSB or recall. This is not safe. I have seen many articles about this on the internet.

Vehicle stalls after refilling the fuel tank - usually once within two blocks of the service station. Sometimes this has happened twice. Once it has been driven a few miles, then the stalling problem goes away. I contacted the dealer but they have no idea why this is happening nor how to remedy the situation.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred several times and immediately after refueling. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 86,000.

Just fueled the car and leaving the service station and the car stalled. Vehicle kept stalling as I attempted to drive it and shut off in the middle of traffic. Had to be towed. Also, each time I have filled the car up since, the same thing happens. The car sputters, shuts down. Once restarted I have to rev the gas and blow the engine for several minutes to get the gas flowing in a manner to drive the vehicle.

In reference to pe13016, the action refers to cars from model years 2005 and 2006. Yet, the final investigation results only include the 2006 model year? if 2005 cars are affected (as mine has been since 2011 and is documented in 300c user forums on the internet by me at the time), then why is my car not included? I understand that now, some owners are receiving "lifetime warranty" letters for the 19-gal gas tank that is the cause of the sudden stalls after filling up with gas. I have not received a letter, yet my car does have (and was found by the NHTSA that 2005 model year was affect) the problem. It is very dangerous and now I have to remember to not fill up the gas tank everytime. I called my local Chrysler repair shop and they confirmed my VIN is not included, yet I have had the problem for almost 3 years. Please advise me (in writing or by phone) as to why you found 2005 cars problematic, yet only included 2006 cars in your final investigation summary to be affected.

I filled the tank and the vehcile stalled several times the next few miles. Especially after right turns, like when merging onto freeways. This happens now every time when I fill the tank. Very dangerous. From web forums I understand gas is getting sucked into the evap system because a check valve at the gas-filler neck doesn't work. What a pain! I replaced the evap solenoid, that didn't help. . . The problem at the gas tank filler-neck check valve.

I filled the tank up to full like I had many times before. I have always preferred relying on gallons and not the automatic pump shut off to know when it was full to prevent a possible overfilling. I had gone maybe 10 yards after restarting and she stalled. Tried to crank her back up, and she would sputter and try to start, but it took a few tries. Then, as I am pulling into the street, it died again but started right back up. Then it died 10 yards later, again. It continued to stall every few feet until I was able to get the rpms up and hold it in 1st and 2nd gear to attempt and burn up as much fuel as quickly as possible. However, coming to a complete stop anytime for the next 15 miles or so would cause a stall but always followed with an immediate start up. When it stalls that very first time it takes a few minutes for it to start and then it is very rough for a few miles. Since that day anytime I fill up to within about a gallon of maximum capacity it will start the stalling process all over again. Combine bad gas mileage with a tank that can't be filled and it's safe to assume I spend a lot of time at gas stations.

After fueling the car, it stalled unexpectedly. This was about 30,000 miles ago. The problem has gotten more frequent. Now, at 137,000 miles, the car always stalls or tries to stall after fueling. I have adapted to the problem by always fueling up at a station that is adjacent to an onramp. I get the car onto the freeway right away and run it at 65 or so mph. . . . To fast for the car to stall. It just runs rough for a few seconds every few minutes for 5 or 10 minutes, then runs fine. It is probably unwise to put a car on the road with a known stall problem, but I could say the same thing about the people at Chrysler.

When I completely fill my gas tank, my car will stall for the first couple miles at idle speeds. So every time I stop at a light, I basically have to restart my car for a mile or two until some gas is used. Sometimes, I have to take the key out completely and restart the car as the car won't go into gear (the gears need to reset). This problem was occurring periodically while the care was still under warranty, but they couldn't figure it out. For the past several years, it does it every time I fill the tank completely with gas. I have a son and daughter that are starting to drive this year, and it makes me nervous to let them drive this car. There should have been a recall long ago as there are many other owners experiencing the same problem. I was also wondering, if I pay the $1,500 to put in a new gas tank and there ultimately is a recall, will I be able to get reimbursed? that would be very useful information. Thank you.

Car stalls out after refueling,keeps dying 4 to 5 times after filling up.
