general problems of the 2006 Chrysler 300C - part 1

Completed x53 extended warranty a year prior at dealership, car still stalls only after putting fuel even though always filling to 3/4-7/8 of tank. Had my children with me car stalled again today at middle of busy street when about to make a left turn after I filled to 3/4 of a tank. Had Dodge dealer in manteca, CA diagnose after first stall half a year prior and they would not replace faulty new tank. Still had to pay diagnostic fee saying fuel liquid was getting into vapor lines and flooding engine and that new tank is not the issue even though it is allowing fuel liquid to pass through vent valve which caused saturation of vapor canister and purge solenoid and engine stalling. Car only stalls when pumping gas 3/4 tank or above.

After fueling on several occasions the vehicle just abruptly stalls out and it's very dangerous I notice that there is recalls on other 2006 Chrysler but mine isn't on there but I am very concerned about this as it could cause me to get in a accident.

Car stalled after filling gas tank. I was driving through an intersection and had to stop for oncoming traffic, when the car stalled and would not immediately restart, it eventually did start after several panic moments of being stuck in the intersection while the light was changing to let opposite traffic proceed. It stalled 2 more times on the way home. Both times I was slowing the car down when this occurred. I have been fearful of driving this car again since this happened. I heard there was a recall from Chrysler for lifetime replacement of gas tank due to a possible control valve shutoff float failure. My vehicle has never had the gas tank or float replaced, but it does not show up for a recall when I enter VIN. What should I do?.

Gasket around fuel pump failed allowing gas to pool on top of fuel tank under the back seat on passenger side . This resulted in a strong "gas/fuel" smell from fuel vapors colecting inside the car and the obvious risk of ignition/explosion and negative health effects of breathing said fumes . The vehicle has not been inspected yet because we are afraid to start the vehicle let alone drive it to the shop . We are making araingements to have it towed to the repair shop . We have not had any warning lights . Mechanic said it was a common problem with seal failure around fuel pump . The vehicle has 127,000 miles.

There is a fuel leak coming from the rear right side near the right rear wheel. Fuel leaks when the tank is full.

Once fueled, the engine will consistently stall from start to cruising speed, and has even shut off while driving. There was an issue with Chrysler fuel tanks evap valve sticking open, which causes this fault, however I have not received any assistance from Chrysler or any authorized dealer.

My fuel tank is stuck in open position, it is making my car stall, sputter, and cut off. When my gas is very low car doesn't cut off and runs fine, but when I fill car up it stalls and cuts off, this is very dangerous it cuts off at red lights, stop signs, slow traffic, I've seen this is a warranty/recall problem with the faulty fuel tanks, with stuck open fuel shutoff valve. My car is running at max fuel because of this problem. It's been like this since I bought car 2 months ago. I need this fixed immediately. And all parts on my car are brand new this faulty fuel tank is the culprit.

The car will just shut off while driving or at rest. My safety and other people on the road is unsafe in the vehicle because when it shuts off in the middle of the road the steering wheel is also not working. The car has been to multiple shops with each shop guessing what could be the problem and fixing what they think may be wrong and after 2,000 dollars the car is still stalling out while being drove. No lights or diagnostic test come up with anything that could cause the problem.

Fuel leaking through gas gasket under rear passenger seat near electrical components. Gas fumes fill vehicle cabin when fuel tank is full and could be ignited by a small spark. No warnings of issue on dashboard. Extreme danger!.

Everytime I fill the gas tank the car stalls out several times and then stalls when deceleration and turning.

Car will shut off randomly after filling my tank up I've only had this vehicle for a few months I wasn't aware of this was going on a road trip with my kids I filled my tank up got on the highway was driving on middle lane normal driving an with out warning my cars dash lights come on an car shuts of instantly pulled over turned the key to off position an the car start right away.

Gas puddles inside under rear seat causing strong smell of gas in cabin. Replaced oring gasket however that was not the problem and did not fix the issue. Still have not confirmed where the leak is coming from. . . . It could be the plastic line, plastic nipple that the line connects too, or the plastic housing fuel transfer pump. Still unsure where it's leaking lots of gas.

My Chrysler 2006 300 c smells of heavy oder of fuel inside occupant seating area. Upon investigation, found the fuel pump situated behind driver, under back seat, and the modulator is situated behind passenger seat. Both fuel and assembly are exposed to occupants, leaking and accumulating pools of fuel. There is no safety barrier between the fuel and occupants! this is a critical design failure for occupant safety!!! the modulator is made of plastic and exposed to caustic chemicals (fuel) which causes premature corrosive damage exposing all occupants of vehicle to multiple health risks including death!! this vehicle needs to be recalled!!! and not only fix the issue with leaking fuel, the vehicle needs a fire proof barrier between the fuel system and the occupants.

When filling the gas tank to completely full, the engine will die without any warning. Does not happen when the tank is partially filled. Several times after completely filing gas tank, a couple hundred yards from gas station, car suddenly dies. Starts right up again and after driving a few more yards it dies again. It died on me about 5 times in a row. Could be deadly when pulling out into traffic.

Vehicle stalls after refueling. Used to be an annoyance, now dangerous. Driven 78000 miles like this. Heard about and have netscape recall and Chrysler lifetime guarantee to replace known problem. It includes canister, valve, gas cap etc but they and Chrysler rep say they know nothing about it even though I gave them your and their own letter to us.

Car continuously dies or stalls while driving. My wife has also been almost rear ended or hit multiple times due to this issue. Because the car will die while making a turn or at a stop light. The car will also cut out while driving on the freeway at 75 mph. The car will sometimes die and will not re-start leaving her stuck in traffic. I have taken the vehicle multiple times to the dealership as well as other mechanics and they keep telling me its the pcm which has been replace three times.

When fuel tank is filled beyond 3/4 of a tank the engine stalls. I've been in many scary situations where this happened. I bought a new car because I was scared to drive this one. Upon learning there was an issue I contacted my local dealer who said a new fuel tank would be ordered and I would be contacted the next week to have it installed. 2 weeks later I contacted them and was told they had to diagnose the problem. After discussing the issue the dealer assured the tank was being ordered. Hopefully the problem will be fixed with the replacement tank - it remains to be seen. Why is this not a recall? it is a safety issue when a car stalls while being driven. Age of the vehicle should not be a factor - this car only has 66,000 miles. I am the original owner.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. On several occasions, after the vehicle was refueled, it stalled. There was no warning prior to the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Harry blackwell Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (1660 business 60 west, dexter, mo 63841) was contacted by phone at (866) 980-9548. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Car will cut off all system and stop when driving ,I fear car behind will run into me causing serous injuries and death. Car will stop in motion, city street highway it dosents matter . Car has less then 40000. M.

After filling this vehicle with fuel as you drive down the road it will just stall in traffic. It takes quite a few tries to get it running again. Up to 10 times. This is very dangerous as this will happen in intersections or turning in traffic with no warning. It happens while in motion and when it shuts off there is limited steering and brakes.

Engine completely shut off as exiting freeway and was nearly hit by 2 cars. Managed to get home by driving streets and staying in righthand lane. Shut off twice but pulled to side of rode. It took approximately 4 seconds for ignition to engage. It is in garage and I am afraid for my life to drive it. I am 74 years old and will not give up on this because it is a danger to ones life. I went online to airpark Chrysler and texted with a nicole on February 15, 2019 and she said someone from in the service department would get back with me and no one has. Please help me with this dangerous problem.

The smell of gas fumes inside the car! it was bothering my throat with the a/c on!! went on-line to check if other owners had a similar complaint. Sure enough, found gas puddling underneath the rear seat behind the passenger side on the gas sending unit!!!.

2006 Chrysler 300c dies several times after refueling, which obviously disables the power steering. This will happen up to 10 times and then the car will run properly until the next refueling. This has been going on for over 18 months.

Vehicle stall with every fuel fill up. This has been happening for about a year now. Scared to drive the vehicle anymore.

My srt8 will stall shortly after filling up with fuel. At the moment of stalling, obviously the power steering and power brakes fail to work, which is very dangerous irregardless of where you are. . . .

After each fuel fill up, the car's engine dies.

Started experiencing problems last year. Car would cut off without warning, cut off while in a turn and I was almost hit by oncoming traffic. Took it to the dealer, dealer stated it was pcm. Had the control module fixed ($1000 repair) and now recently we have been experiencing an issue where the car wants to cut off at all speeds. Today, my husband drove it to the gas station and it cut off on him and then wouldn't start back up. It started up a few min after sitting but traffic was too busy so we were unable to drive it home. It is still parked at the gas station and we are hoping well be able to get it home before having to call a tow truck. Replaced spark plugs 1 1/2 weeks ago because we assumed it was misfiring (when it was wanting to cut off). We've changed the camshaft (prior to having the pcm replaced) and egr valve as well. There is no check engine light but have still attempted to get codes read. . . No codes. This seems to be an ongoing issue that Chrysler needs to take care of. I will never buy another car that Chrysler has had a hand in making. . . . . How many complaints need to take place before you realize that this will kill someone. . . But I guess you'd rather a lawsuit on your hands for a death rather then fixing all these cars the right way. #unsatisfiedbuyer took a shot at this beautiful car and am sadly disappointed 2006 300c 5. 7l hemi. Whats the point of having such a beautiful car if you can't even drive it.

Today for the 1st time since I've had my Chrysler 300c hemi 5. 7 liter v8 just randomly stopped at a red light. After taking out the key and restarting the car back up it continued to run, but as soon as we drove off at a low speed you can hear the engine shake and stumble a bit and wanting to stop. I have never encountered problems before since I got it back in 2014.

After fueling, car stalled while in motion at slow speed exiting parking lot. Stalled again a mile further when entering garage, both times while turning. Car has 19000 miles.

Vehicle cuts off while backing out of parking spots, traffic lights, and stop signs. Also while driving, the vehicle spudders like it's going to quit, and then suddenly surges at a high rate of speed. All of this is random, at different speeds, and is worse in the city when there is more stopping. No codes or lights are coming on, so a diagnostic can't be ran. My mechanic has had my vehicle for 2 weeks and can't determine the problem.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. While coming to a stop at slow speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted. The failure occurred multiple times after the vehicle was refueled. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. In addition, the air bag warning light illuminated. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.

Car randomly stalls, at any speed, dash lights flash on and off, wipers turn on by them self , horn sounds by itself. Had it at the dealership for 2 months, had at sometimes 40+ codes come up on the computer. Changed multiply modules they cant figure it out.

Stalls after refueling. This is a serious problem and we have not been contacted by Chrysler about this know problem!.

Upon filling up the car with gas, the car stalled less than 500ft from the gas station. The car restarted and I drove 1/16th of a mile and as I was pulling out into traffic the car stalled again. The car has approximately 39300 miles on it.

Vehicle stalled out at about 5 mph. Next day vehicle stalled out at 65 mph on interstate. Very dangerous situation. Repair facility could find no problem, had expensive major tuneup, but problem still exists.
