36 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 10/12/2012

I pulled into a bp gas station to purchase fill up. After fill up I proceeded down the street and came to a red light, waited for green light, but didn't notice car had shut down. People behind honking because I had not moved. Cranked up again, car moved a little. So two young men got out and pushed me out of the street as I was literally a sitting duck in the street. I called someone to come and check it out and he drove it home, but it stopped on him three times before he got it home. Needless to say this has been and ongoing process for me since October 12, 2012. I have found out that as long as I do not fill it to the top it is okay and will cooperate. This is no way to use a car. I do not know if there was a recall but I know I never receive notification of one. I currently have 42141 miles on my car so it is hardly driven and I expected this to be my last car purchase with gas issues such as this who knows. When I get gas now I have to drive like a bat out of hell to get it home before it cuts off. I can only be thankful that I was not merging onto the expressway; I could have been hit , injured or killed. What are my recourses at this late date. Is recall still available. Pissed off 300c owner.

37 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2012

Car stalls after fueling. The car will die and be very hard to to steer, break and control. This now happens every time I fuel up. I never top off, and stop fueling once the pump auto stops. I have called Chrysler and they are not willing to do anything for me. Case #23730052. I have read several reports that there have been over 200,000 complaints about the same problem. This is a serious safety concern. This happened to me and I sideswiped the side of a guardrail.

38 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 12/09/2011

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.

39 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2011

After fill up, the car stalls at slow speed 3 - 4 times before staying running. This has happened for several years not dependent on type of gas, weather, overfill, etc. Very dangerous. Consequently we only fill the car to 3/4 full.

40 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 03/31/2011

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.

41 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2011

Car stalls about 1 mile after filling up with gas. Has stalled going low and high speeds, leaving me with very little control of the vehicle . A mechanic recommended that I fill up before its under half full but that doesn't seem to help any. Now I fill up before I go into a nearby grocery store and afterwards I start the car a few times and it seems to prevent it from stalling. Last week my husband decided to drive it to work (long drive) and didn't take my advice during fill up and it stalled shortly after getting on the highway.

42 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2010

After filling the car up with the correct gasoline the car stalled and turned completely off after sputtering for the next ten miles or so. Upon starting it up it takes time for the transmission to engage. Since that time it has stalled every time for the next ten miles or so after fueling. It has shut completely off once while turning in an intersection. This is a very dangerous situation as there is no warning as to when it will happen only an expectation that it will happen after every refueling. I note that there was a recall for the same car for the same reason but a year younger - 2006. I have the same problem and it is very very dangerous. What can I do?.

43 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2010

2005 Chrysler 300c w/ 5. 7l while driving @ approx 35mph, vehicle would drop out of gear as if in neutral, check eng light came on, setting p700 & p701 plus egr prob. If car was steered to safe area and turned off then re-started, prob would momentarily resolve itself becoming intermittent @ various speeds or atmospheric conditions. R&r of egr assembly and cleaning, then clearing of codes seems to have resolved the prob. Problem started on oct 16, 2010, repair performed on October 19, 2010 and has not returned. This could become an issue w/ other vehicles of same make & model, due to p701 is stating problem w/ transmission module.
