36 problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler 300C. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
When refueling my Chrysler 300c back to full capacity it will immediately stall out and shut off completely. The car will start right up again no problem, and continue to stall out while driving in traffic multiple times following until it burns off enough fuel to stop. I also have been smelling raw gasoline inside and outside the vehicle and the problem varies. The odor is highly potent coming from the passenger side rear. Never witnessed any fluid leaking underneath the car or noticeably in fuel tank gauge until this morning, it was leaking out from the trim panel underneath the rear passenger side .
On my car when the gas tank is auto filled all the way, until it clicks, then it stalls out while driving and is very hard to restart since the vehicle has to come to a complete stop before you can attempt to restart. This has happened at least 10 times. The last time was while attempting to make a left hand turn onto route 29, within minutes of having left the gas station, and I lost control of my steering due to the fact that the car was not running any more. I was lucky I wasn't hit by another car when coasting it partly off the road. Since then, I have learned, as long as I don't fill the tank all the way full the stall outs don't happen.
This isn't the first time the car just shuts down when u fill the gas tank all the way up. I filled the tank and proceeded to drive and merge on to highway and without any lights or warning the car just shuts off on the highway while doing 65. I lost power and the vehicle is had to control. It took a second to start back up in the middle of the highway. This only happens when I fill the tank all the way up. It's an issue with the gas tank or a valve getting stuck open/closed in the tank. I filled the tank again and just waited at the gas station to see if it would happen again and it did. I waited about 2 minutes and the car shut off while sitting at the gas station. . I left the gas station as soon as I turned out of the gas station the vehicle shut off 2 more times. I have to either fill my tank to 3/4's a tank or purposely burn gas when on full to not have this happen again.
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.
I got fuel in my vehicle approx. 3/4 of a tank after fueling my vehicle stalled when I tried to drive it. I have previously replaced the purge solenoid, the pcm, and the egr valve. The vehicle continues to have multiple problems and has left me stranded more times than I can count.
When I fill the gas tank the car stops and loses all power. This happens a few times until I use some gas. This is very dangerous problem. I almost got rear ended a few times.
Filled up gas tank and car stalled while stopped at a stop light had to restart and then stalled as I was getting onto the freeway had to coast to side of road. Very dangerous because car lost all power and started to roll backwards with cars behind me.
For last year if we fill the gas tank to full the car stalls in traffic shortly after leaving the fuel station. Highly dangerous. My wife doesn't fill the tank anymore after three incidents where she was almost hit. Did not happen until we moved car to florida. Maybe related to gas temperature in gas station versus fuel temperature in car?.
It began when I started pumping gas after it reach like 10 galons of fuel the clicker will stop as if it was full tank already but still needed a long way to fill up so I automatically began to pump gas and it kept clicking and clicking it didn't want to keep pumping so I stop as I began driving the car began to pulled it self hard like if it was running out of gas check engine and the esp bas light when on started to smell like gas got me worried when on it kept doing it so I took it in to the dealer and they told me it was the egr valve ,thermostat and spark plugs needed to be repair I asked if their was a recall because I have recieved a later stating that something thats has to do with the gas tank,he looked it up and he said no. I did the labor that needed to be done to car it was ok for couple hrs then it began to do the same thing lunging then car stalled try to restarted it wouldn't go on waited couple mins tried again and it wouldn't start gave it a lil longer time then try to turn it on again and it finally started after multiple times I really need to fix it I find it dangerous. .
The vehicle keeps stalling and it seems directly related to when I fill up the vehicle with gas. I have a 19 gallon fuel tank. Every time a fill the vehicle, it continues to stall (even at 60 mph) until the gas starts to empty out of the tank. As the gas empties, it stalls less and less. As soon as I refill, the problem starts all over again. I heard this year of vehicle is having issues with the fuel tank multifunctional control valve, which seems to exactly correlate with the issue that I am having. I just purchased this vehicle from a used auto dealer.
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.
Since November 2013, each time I fill up my 2005 Chrysler 300c, it stalls for the first 5--20 minutes after the fill up. In December 2013, I brought it to my Chrysler dealership (which has worked on the car since 2006), and it said my car needed an evap canister and a solenoid. The parts were ordered and the installation/replacement work was done on December 6, 2013. This did not fix the problem. The car still stalls, starting right as I pull out from the gas station. The most disconcerting thing is that when the engine stalls, and you are steering into a corner, the power steering is gone. This makes steering very difficult and is very dangerous, particularly on the two-lane roads I mostly travel. I am now thinking it may be that there is some water in the gasoline tank or gasoline line. I sense the electronics in the engine calling for gas (or not accepting gas) when there is something bad in the gasoline line. Not sure how there is water in the tank, as the car since being purchased new is garaged when at home and at work and well cared for otherwise. I just read this evening on the web that Chrysler is aware of the problem and has known since at least may of 2013. This is very disconcerting; the dealership mentioned nothing about this known problem to me. And so I had this work done needlessly, at my expense and for no successful result. The dealership should have acknowledged the recall to me when I first brought the car in with this issue. It was suggested I might need to replace the gas tank. Has Chrysler figured out what the problem is? did this in turn result in a recall? can I ask the dealership for my money back? any suggestions on how this can be fixed?.
The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 mph after refueling, the vehicle stalled without warning and could not be restarted. The failure would recur whenever the vehicle was refueled. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer however, the dealer indicated that the entire fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,00.
After fueling vehicle (full tank) I drove about 1/4 mile from the gas station while turning the vehicle turned completely off while I was in a turn causing me drive up on a curb and almost striking a pedestrian. Took about 10 minutes to get my vehicle back started and about another 1/4 mile down the road it stalled again this time making me go through an intersection because the brake pedal got hard. I ended up getting it home and it sat over night. Next morning took it out, no problem except when I was leaving a store it stalled again. I thought it was a fuel issue, fuel pressure checked ok. I drained the gas in the tank and refueled from another station same problem. Seems to happen only when I completely fill up but not 100% of the time. No check engine light or body codes were detected on the car's computer.
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!.
Filled up at gas station. Did not "top off" tank. Allowed it to stop on its own. Car died unexpectedly pulling out of gas station into traffic. Died twice again on way home.
This problem only after fill the gas tank. After pulling away from the pump and pulling into traffic the car died and won't start until you put in park. This happens until some of the fuel has been used up. I would have it happen make it home. Then the next time I drive it the car will die until its been driven enough to use up some fuel. This dangerous because it happen as you slow down or start up. I have had it die while turning and lose all controls because it dies! the only way to combat this is to not fill the tank. That works if I drive the car but my family members forget that and have lost control also! this has been going on for 3 years! dangerous.
The car repeatedly stalls after a fill up. This will repeat itself several times during the first few miles before it stops. If I don't fill the tank all the way up it will not stall. This has caused a couple close calls (turning in front of oncoming traffic) and short, temporary traffic delay while I restart.
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.
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.
This situation has occurred countless times over the last year and a half. After fueling, vehicle will randomly stall out, either at idle or under way. This has occurred under various driving conditions; at speed, at traffic signals, or much worse on turns (with obvious sudden loss of power steering. ) I understand from my own research that there is a check valve in the fuel tank that fails, allowing raw gasoline to enter the vapor recovery system, which causes the stall. The only way to replace this valve is to replace the fuel tank, as the valve is molded into and is integral to the tanks construction. I'¿¿ve had quotes around $1,200 to replace the tank, and it is not clear that the new tanks will have a redesigned valve, so the problem may not in fact be rectified after all. This is an extremely dangerous condition, as I'¿¿ve been in situations where the unexpected loss of power steering compromised the vehicle's performance on turns. Stalling coming off a traffic signal actually caused following vehicles to require dangerous evasive maneuvers. It is inevitable that someone is going to get severely hurt or killed as a result of these sudden stalling conditions.
Recently purchased 2005 Chrysler 300c thought I was getting great deal only had 47700 miles on it. First fill up it stalled immediately after and did so several times. I tried revving up the engine while in neutral but as soon as I drove off it stalled again. I was so afraid someone was going to hit me from behind until I could get into to turning lane. It seemed to work, well didn't stall out, when I would accelerate when it seemed as if it was going to go dead. I took it back the dealership they said was a vent in fuel tank that was clogged, only fix to replace which they are not wanting to do and I have only have the car 1 week.
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.
Engine stalled shortly after refueling and continued to stall until or hesitate until 2 - 3 gallons of gasoline was burned off. The condition happens almost 100% of the time if the tank is filled to the first click during refueling - it the tank is only filled to 85% the condition will not occur. The stalling condition is very dangerous because the engine is hard to restart and requires excessive cranking. It appears the engine stalls when the evaporative system sends raw fuel to the throttle body instead of fumes - the engine then stalls and is difficult to restart until an ignitable air/fuel ratio is re-established. I was driving the subject vehicle at 35 mph and had to make a right turn when the engine died and then lost power steering. Trying to complete the turn without power steering while trying to restart a flooded engine was difficult and could have easily resulted in a serious accident. I'm aware that the NHTSA is looking into 2006 model year Chrysler 300s equipped with the hemi engine for the exact same condition. Please broaden your investigation to include the 2005 model year vehicles too. The build date of the subject vehicle was 03/04 so it was an early production vehicle. As before, the subject vehicle exhibits the stalling condition almost 100% of the time if the gas tank is filled to the first click. I'll be happy to make the vehicle available to NHTSA engineers if they need a vehicle to examine as part of their investigation.
The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the vehicle emitted a strong fuel odor while parked. The contact inspected the vehicle and found that the fuel tank was leaking due to defective material. The filler hose that joined the fuel tank and the plastic seal failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 176,000.
I have had problems with this vehicle stalling and dying while driving normal, and after stop lights. I also smell gas when car is started. This is a potentially dangerous problem. I have done research and discovered that several owners of this vehicle are having the same identical problems. I was informed that there was a problem with the fuel vapor canister and the gas tank, which is possibly a factory defect. I was also informed that the fuel vapor canister was on back order, which indicates that there is a serious problem. Please investigate and address this potential dangerous factory defect.
After I fill up my car's gas tank and drive away, the car will stall at the first several intersections I reach. Eventually it runs fine – until it's time to fill up the car again, at which time the cycle repeats. My car has cut out in several dangerous situations; only luck has prevented me from having a potentially serious accident. I read many other 300c owners describing the same problem. Why is this not being addressed with a recall?.
Every time the tank is filled to full this vehicle stalls. At 3/4 fill it does not occur. In light of the chevy cobalt tragedy perhaps a proper investigation into this defect will commence. This isn't a nuisance "temporary glitch" issue, because whenever a car loses power unexpectedly it should not be considered a nuisance issue. I experienced an engine stall at a high rate of speed entering a freeway just after fueling and my car lost all power. Half-baked suggestions like don't fill the tank full are silly. This is a serious issue that requires a specific repair recommendation.
After refueling I pulled up to a stop light. I was turning right. I stopped because the light was red. A car was traveling in the direction I was headed, but was about hundred yards away. I made the right turn and immediately my car began to chug then just stalled out. I was dead in the street. I attempted to start the car to avoid a near collision, but it would not start. The car that I had pulled in front of eventually made it to where I was at and swerved to avoid the collision. After several (3) attempts at starting the vehicle; it started. When I came to a complete stop at the next stop light it happened again. Chugging then stalled out. This time im getting honked at by the people behind me to go at the green light. I ended up holding traffic up until the next green light. I contacted Chrysler and let them know about the issue to see if any recalls existed on what seemed to be a recurring issue with 2005-2006 300c models. Chrysler said they were aware of the issue, but because the vehicle is out of warranty I would have to pay full price for the tank removal and replacement. The estimate was over $1200. I expressed my safety concern, but was again told there was nothing they could do. I am late on the reporting because I did not know of the NHTSA until a coworker mentioned it.
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.
The car stalled after fueling. Once the problem started it continued every time I filled the tank. I recently had to have a new gas tank installed which cost over $1200. 00.
This problem only after fill the gas tank. After pulling away from the pump and pulling into traffic the car died and won't start until you put in park. This happens until some of the fuel has been used up. I would have it happen make it home. Then the next time I drive it the car will die until its been driven enough to use up some fuel. This dangerous because it happen as you slow down or start up. I have had it die while turning and lose all controls because it dies! the only way to combat this is to not fill the tank. That works if I drive the car but my family members forget that and have lost control also! this has been going on for 3 years! dangerous.
The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure was recurring and whether the fuel tank was full or low in fuel. In addition, the power steering assist sporadically failed without warning. The vehicle was taken to authorized dealer, who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 22000. Updated 04/29/lj.
