Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2005 Chrysler 300C

This car has a problem every time its time to fill gas tank car is running fine once I'm done with the filling up and I am leaving the gasoline station the car stalls with no warning or anything it has happen every time I fuel up one time I came to a red light when it was time to go on green it shut off on me and did not want to turn on after like the 5th try. I have tried calling Chrysler dealers but said my VIN number is not on the recall cars.

Car stalls after filling gas tank, this happens while leaving filling station and pulling into traffic and has happened on several occasions.

My 2005 300c stalls while in motion and when stopped at a traffic signal after filling up the gas tank, and is exhibiting problems similar to those described in your pe13016 report which covers a recall of 2006 Chrysler 300cs which have the same 19 gallon tank as my car. This is a dangerous condition that continues to occur. How can I get the car repaired (which it sounds like involves fuel tank replacement) by fiat Chrysler at no charge to me? please respond, thank you.

On several occasions, after fully filling the gas tank, the car will completely shut down while either at idle, or at low speed. The first time it happened, it gave a check engine" light with a fault code to check the fuel cap. On further inspection, the fuel cap was properly seated. Now, when this problem occurs, it no longer gives the "check engine" light indication. The problem does not occur when the fuel tank is less than completely full. The problem is identical to the problem NHTSA investigated in 2006 Chrysler 300s resulting in Chrysler extending the fuel tank warranty to lifetime coverage. This is a dangerous problem, as when the car dies, all power is lost to the car to include steering and braking. Typically this occurs at a stop light, but could happen in a much more dangerous position.

After filling fuel tank: vehicle stalled twice while driving. Difficult restarts. This occurred on two occasions. At the second occasion, after filling, I could hear prolonged "gurgling" sound from fuel tank filler neck. I am convinced that this issue has something to do with the fuel tank venting system - perhaps a clogged vent tube.

Filled up tank at gas station and immediately after leaving gas station the car stalled, restarted right away but felt sluggish. Started a right turn and engine shut off again in the middle of my turn! this really scarred me as it was a busy intersection and could have caused an accident! I restarted and stalled a block later. I took car to a mechanic to test gas and he found no problem with the gas. The car ran fine the next day. On 1-17-2015 I stopped at costco to fill up, car stalled immediately as I started to pull away the gas station. Car died about 5 other times within the parking lot of costco. The car would restart immediately. I drove about 3 miles to the express way and drove 35 miles home with no problems. The unexpected stalling of the engine can cause an accident, in my case, this second time I was on a busy parking lot on a Saturday with cars turning and certainly no one expects a car to stall in the middle of a turn. Before this happened, over the years I had experienced problems with filling up the gas tank where the station gas pump would stop even after pumping less than half a gallon. I always thought it was the pump at the station and I would go to another pump or another station and it would fill up ok.

After filling my fuel tank the car would stall at speeds ranging from 5 - 30 mph causing loss of steering and braking. Upon shifting into neutral it would start but would stall 2 or 3 more times. I was not sure of the cause until June of this year when I got a notice from Chrysler about the problem and that they have issued a recall. I brought the vehicle to a dealer and they informed me that they had to order the part. This was 7/16/2014. To date they have not received the part and I called Chrysler and they say they are not producing them. The car in this state is not safe. I cannot imagine what would happen if I were going at highway speed. There must be some recourse to force a manufacturer to honor a recall.

After filling tank with fuel, car stalled at next few intersections. Had to turn off completely for transmission to reset and engage several times. Has happened previously but not sure of date, approximately in the last 6 months. Due to loss of steering and sitting still in moving traffic, this creates a true hazard. Have owned vehicle since it was new.

Filled up gas tank and was leaving station and car stalled out. Restarted and proceeded onto suburban main artery and as accelerating from traffic light, the car stalled again. Vehicle behind me was not expecting me to stop in middle of road and crashed into the read of my car. Damage to both bumper covers, but neither vehicle was undriveable as the speed was very slow. This is a known problem with the 300c's of this year and is avoidable by filling the tank to only 3/4 or so. This time it was filled by the station attendant to the pump click shut off (like you'd fill the tank of a normal car). There is a warranty extension plan for the 2006 with this issue but it seems that the 2005 model is not included. The dealer service manager has never heard of this being a problem.

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?.

After filling up, the car died while leaving the gas lot almost causing an accident. The car started, it drove for a few seconds and died again. This happens everytime I fill the gas tank. I also notice what my mechanic calls a towing effect when I'm driving. I have had a full fune up on the car along with having the transmission fluid changed and the car still dies and has the towing effect when I drive. This is very much a safety issue and from seeing what other people are saying, why hasn't this issue been addressed. If I am involved in an accident because of this, there will be a lawsuit.

Car stalls after gas tank is filled up. Car stalls while driving and at intersections. This is dangerous. Review on internet shows that many others have this same problem. Current solution is to avoid filling up the gas tank.

After filling up the gas tank I was driving on the highway. Traffic was heavy and speed was reduced to about 20 mph. While exiting the highway the car started to spurt and then shut off and the steering wheel locked. I was able to put the car in park and restart the vehicle but once it slowed down again the car shut off. I was nearly rear-ended but fortunately the truck behind me stopped in time. This only happens when the tank is full so once there is only about 3/4 of a tank full the shut downs cease. Does it take fatal accidents like what gm had before Chrysler issues a recall?.

On 3 separate occasions immediately following filling with gas, the engine died within 2 blocks of the gas station. No check engine light was displayed on any of the 3 occasions and the car was extremely difficult to restart, requiring at least 30 seconds. Also, after restart on all 3 occasions, the engine ran very rough for 1-2 miles and then ran smoothly. On 1 of the occasions, the car died the next day after only driving a few blocks from home. After the first occurrence, the spark plugs were changed, the throttle body was cleaned, the vapor canister was replaced, and the evaporation system solenoid was replaced. On 1 of the occasions, the gas tank was topped off beyond the initial shut-off by several tenths of a gallon. After the 3rd occurrence (70,796 miles), the car was taken to the olathe Chrysler dealership and diagnosed as needing to replace the gas tank (2/20/2013). The cost was $1583. 58. Since then, the vehicle now has 72,062 miles . . . Approximately 1200 miles since replacing the gas tank . . . And has not died following filling with gas (6 times).

I own a Chrysler 2005 300c. The had no fuel problems until the odometer reached approx. 50k miles. It then started to stall immediately after filling the gas tank. I would have issues with the engine stalling while in park or driving under 60 mph. I has stalled while driving in traffic which created serious safety issues unless I got it restarted quickly. I would have to immediately put the car in neutral and restart. It appears that the problem goes away after driving for a day or so. I have asked the Chrysler dealership if there were any TSB's on the problem ans have been told no. Owners on the Chrysler's owner forum with my type of car are complaining of the same issue and say that there is an issues with the gas tanks that Chrysler does not want to address.

2005 Chrysler 300c died in traffic shortly after filling fuel tank full of gasoline. The vehicle was restarted and died three more times in traffic before running fine. My concern is that this is an accident waiting to happen. Online research showed this is a common occurrence in this vehicle after filling fuel tank to full. Apparently raw gasoline (rather than vapors) gets into the evaporative system and enters the engine, creating a rich fuel situation and the stalling. This is a very serious situation and should be investigated further. Thank you.

This is message is to help you out. My 2005 300 stalled when filling the gas tank as well, and finally it was determined that the entire gas tank from front to back needed to get replaced. Dont let the dealer tell you otherwise. My car was fixed and has been fine ever since. Everything that is being said about it stalling after pumping gas to the max and the wheel locking w/o notice has to do with the gas pump.

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.

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 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.

Chrylser 300c 2005 will completely die upon filling tank with fuel. Will restart and die 1 or 2 more times then run fine. My concern is accdent waiting to happen. Solitution change gas tank which chrylser refuses to do without customer paying for it. I feel a recall is needed before someone it injured or possibly killed. Filed a complaint, have a case number nothing resolved. I feel a soultion is necessary as soon as possible. Problem has occured from time of purchase.

After filling up the gas tank and driving away from gas station, engine would stall and die. Tried restarting but difficult to do after many attemps. Vehicle would finally drive normal after starting and running engine at higher than idle speed. This stalling would happen anytime I would fill tank. I would never top off tank but would fill till pump would stop the first time. If I fuel vehicle without filling to top, vehicle runs fine.

Filled up gas tank and was leaving station and car stalled out. Restarted and proceeded on busy roadway, the car stalled again. Vehicle behind me was not expecting me to stop in middle of road. No accident occurred. This is a known problem with the 300c's of this year (2005). I found this to be avoidable by filling the tank to only 3/4. There is a warranty extension plan for the 2006 with this issue but not the 2005 model. I visited the dealer and the service manager has never heard of this being problem for 300c's. My car has cut out in several dangerous situations and continues to be dangerous for me and my family. Please help.

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.
