Six problems related to engine stall have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler 300C. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Warning dash lights/signals (service engine, oil, esp. Service break assist system , speedometer fluxuated etc) engine stalled. I could have easily been rear ended had there been other vehicles behind me. This happened a couple more times since that date. On 7/22/15 took vehicle to Chrysler dealership , neward DE. For them to check and fix. On 7/31/15 dealership called me stated problem was fixed they had replaced pts module and shifter. I didn't even get it off the lot, started vehicle up and above mentioned lights came on again. The mechanic (drove) and I went for a test drive. Service engine and other dash warning lights came on. Mechanic took car back to shop stated he reset some codes and vehicle was fixed. I was charged $868. 00 for said repair and oil change. I drove vehicle off lot. . . . About two minutes into driving same problems occurred and vehilce stalled again. Took vehicle back to dealer. . Still there. They state they are trying to find the problem. . While checking the web I found that many,,, many of these car owners have reported this same problem which is an extremely dangerous issue and yet no recall. . I don't understand why. Do people have to die first before something is done about this. Please take some action on this.
This issue has happened to me multiple times. I am just driving down the road and the engine stalls. When this happens I loose my power steering and have to try to get to the side of the road. Once I put the car in park and turn it off it will then restart. This has happened at speeds from10-70. The second issue is sometimes the car lunges forward on its own or accelerates much more than what I am pressing the gas pedal. I have talked to other owners of these cars and we all seem to be having the same problems but when we take it to mechanics since it doesn't happen when they test drive it they can't tell us what's wrong. I have had some very close calls with these issues and came very close to being involved in accidents. I am sure there have been accidents caused by these same issues but it might not have been traced back to the car, it was probably thought that it was driver error.
New engine installed in 2008: every time, after I put fuel into the gas tank and drive away, the engine surges and then stalls multiple times during the 15 min trip home. At times the car surges forward and I have to break to avoid hitting a car in front of me. My car is a 2005 Chrysler 300 hemi with a new engine installed in 2008. My original engine was flooded with water, hence the replacement.
Engine stalled at slow speed immediately after filling up with gas. Engine was somewhat difficult to restart because it was flooded. Engine stalling happened at least five times before enough gas was burned off to prevent the condtion. Numerous reports on the internet indicate this is a common problem and happens when raw fuel from the evaporative system is ingested through the throttle body. The evaporative system should only convey fumes but a failure allows it to carry raw fuel to the throttle body. This condition has the potential to be very dangerous. Given the number of complaints a safety recall should be instigated to ensure that raw fuel can never reach the throttle body via the evaporative system.
Engine stalls after filling up the gas tank. Currently I can not fill up the gas tank and if I do the engine will stall and die. Last occurrence I was decelerating due to traffic to around 30-35 mph. The engine died during the deceleration. The traffic had picked up to 50-55 mph and I could not start the car so I had to pull off the road. If this had been in a location that I could not pull off the road I could have been in a serious accident. To compound the issue I can not go from neutral start the car and then into drive. The transmission will not shift into drive. I have to pull over and go into park before drive to get it to work.
After filling gas tank, engine would repeately stall (at idle or at 40 mph) up to 6 times within 2+ miles. . Incident did not seem to occur if the tank was not full.
