76 problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2006 Chrysler 300C. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
After refueling, I was driving north in I-35 at 65 mph and the engine completely died in the middle of heavy traffic. Fortunately, I know a bit about cars and got it to restart before I dropped below 50 mph. However, there were heavy trucks in the dense traffic and had one been directly behind me I do not think I would be here to write this complaint today. I have delayed this complaint as I did not know the nature of my problem until yesterday. After the third fill up and the same problem happened, I figured it out and went to the dealer for a fix. They told me the problem and said there was no recall and that the cure was to replace the gas tank. I have an appointment for next Tuesday to get this work done as I feel the vehicle is unsafe to drive in traffic.
For several weeks every time I filled my gas tank the car stalled. I would start it and it would stall again. Several times I was almost rear ended getting on the freeway when my car dead stopped also at intersections. Every time I stopped the car at a light after fill up car would stop. I was afraid to drive the car as I feared I would be killed or severely injured. I took the car to the Chrysler dealer Jan 14, 2014. They replaced the fuel tank, evap canaster and vent valve at a cost of $1740. 22. I asked if this condition was under warrenty they said no. I understand the warranty has been extended on the fuel tanks as per pe 13-016. I contacted Chrysler they said they did not know anything about an extended warrenty. Chrysler is not honoring their obligation to repair this very dangerous condition. I want to be sure my VIN# is included in this warrenty as I will seek reimbursement for this repair.
My family and I were travelling on the interstate after a complete fill up of gas from the gas station, as I was proceeding onto the ramp of the interstate my car stalled and continued to die right as I was turning onto the interstate in the right lane and had a near miss from a semi truck. My families life was in the hands of a car that I thought I trusted and lead to believe was safe in every way. Little did I know that the gas tanks on these cars can not handle a upwards of 3/4 tank of gas or more. Now I am scared to death to fill this cars gas tank past the half mark and have to stop frequently as I travel for my job. Please help get the warranty on these gas tanks extended as I have recently found out that Chrysler is no longer holding their word on fixing the tanks on these sets of cars tanks.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300 c. The contact stated that after refueling to capacity and driving 5 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the check valve was fractured and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 161,000.
Right after gassing up, my car stalled at a red light. Restart, stall again while rolling (losing power steering and power brakes. ) restart and drive with heavy throttle to next red light, where car stalled again. Restart, go, then another stall when car behind me honks. Dangerous stalling in intersection. Problem remained until gas tank went down about 2 gallons from full. Problem continues to date, I cannot fill the gas tank.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that when the fuel tank was full, the engine would stall sporadically and recurringly. The vehicle would always restart and resume normally. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The dealer advised the contact that fuel was entering the system purge line and causing the fuel valve to fail. As a result, the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 41,000.
I filled up my tank at the bp service station on rt. 17 paramus, NJ and the car stalled entering the highway, (rt. 17 south) stalled three more times on the highway, had to pull into a shopping center to get it to idle. Stalled at the intersection on linwood avenue and paramus road, paramus NJ and barely made it home to franklin turnpike in ridgewood, NJ. I had to burn off a few gallons of gas at idle and high idle to get the car to normalize at idle and make it road worthy and safe to drive.
I completely filled up my gas tank (not just a top off) Friday afternoon. After driving a few miles, while in the turning lane and crossing traffic my car shut itself off. The steering wheel locked up and I was unable to steer to safety. I had to put the car in neutral and "coast" to the side. Luckily I was turning at the turning light and there wasn't heavy traffic. This was very dangerous and scared me! I tried to start my car and was unable to do so. It wouldn't "turn over" the first time. The second time trying to start it, it didn't seem like it would stat and then finally started. The only light that came on (after the car shut itself off) was the oil light. My oil is completely full. It was just changed a month ago using synthetic oil. I had a mechanic look at it and was told that there was nothing wrong with it.
We filled up the tank, not topping off, and headed home. The car was running smoothly, hesitated and stalled. No engine warning indicators, etc. It also stalled setting at a red light and at various other speeds. This has occurred again after every fill up since. If you put in park it will start right back up. Chrysler does not acknowledge or deny a problem when contacted. I was told to get a diagnostic and call them back. One service rep, at the dealership, acknowledge a couple of others having this problem the car is currently there and they are trying to recreate the problem. We keep our vehicles services, so that is not a problem.
Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled after it was refueled. The failure was experienced numerous times. The contact was able coast on the road shoulder and restart the engine. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where a diagnostic was performed, which located the failure at the fuel tank. The fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage 25,000 and approximate current mileage was 26,000. Kmj.
Every time after refueling the vehicle to a full tank of fuel vehicle stalls and sometimes several tries before it restarts. Once the fuel tank level goes down about a gallon, the problem stops. This always occurs after refueling to a full tank of fuel. If I fill to about 3/4 tank the car can stall but not always. The only known fix to work all the time is a new gas tank for $1500 to install.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated while driving 10 mph after refueling the vehicle, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the entire fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The current mileage was 121,000.
The problem started about 12 months ago. When ever I re-fuel my car it will shut off several times. It seems to happen more frequently if I let the fuel level get to or below 1/4 tank before re-fueling. The problem will continue at least 10-15 minutes after re-fueling. When the problem first started the car would only shut off at idling or at very slow speed. Now the problem will continue to happen even while at street or highway speed. It appears that the fuel flow is interrupted then begins to flow again. This will repeat several times. This only happens after re-fueling. I have not attempted to get it repaired due to no longer having a warranty. My car now has approximately 62000 miles on it.
After refuling vehicle its stalls out will restart sometimes others it won't. Chrysler will not pay for new fuel tank cost is $1200. 00.
I filled up the gas tank at the station pulled into traffic and the light turned red. Stopped for the light the car started lurching and the engine shut down. Turned on hazard light pushed gas to floor and cranked engine over. Took several tries to get engine to start. After this incident the car runs rough when stopping at red lights.
Vehicles sputters, stalls and dies after filing fuel tank. Chrysler entered into an extended warranty program to resolve your inquiry pe13-016. Chrysler agreed as a result of that inquiry to extend a lifetime fuel -tank warranty on the 153,817 effected cars. Chrysler will not honor that warranty agreement on my vehicle. . What can be done to encourage Chrysler to honor the warranty and replace my fuel tank and faulty float valve per the agreement they entered with you? previously I was referred to the federal trade commission who indicates this is not a issue they can provide me assistance. Who enforces the agreements NHTSA has made with Chrysler? my vehicle is dangerous due to the faulty float valve and no one in the federal government wants to take ownership to help.
Filled tank with gas an left the gas station then the car shut off wile driving, then tried to start and the car shut off agin three times after the tank was less than full the car ran fine.
Car continued to stall after gas fill up. Car needed to be towed to dealer. Deal wanted $1700 to replace the gas tank. Untimately cost me about $1200 and the dealer paid $540 to get the problem fixed.
Just filled up car at gas station (don't top off) exited lot and proceeded on road way and car just died. Lost all power, had just gotten up to about 15 mph. Towed to dealership (. Was told to replace cam-crank sensor). Tow service $80. 00 work done $760. 00. Next incident, December 3, 2012, just filled car up (not topping off) same problem as before. Towed to dealership, tow service $80. 00. Dealership said they needed to replace evap canister and purge solenoid. Cost to replace $630. 89. Latest incident was on July 5, 2013 filled up at station , same as before, this time the car died on the freeway. Took 3 police officers to push my car off the freeway and out of harms way. Once again had the car towed ($100. 00 this time) to the dealership with the same problem. Today is July 31, 2013 and I just found out that they are now saying that the gas tank needs to be replaced, and the vents in the gas tank are clogged. The cost to me will be $1,800. 00 to replace and once again another large expense. Until my boyfriend brought in some paperwork he found on a "Chrysler forum"( indicating that there were over 92 people that have reported the exact same problem ) the service dept. At the dealership says they have not had any problems like this before and they did not know how to deal with this problem. We asked them to take some of the gas out of the tank and take the car to the gas station and fill up the car. Well after getting gas the car died on the service reps. Not just once but 3 times. This whole time they had my car, not once did any codes show up. Work on my car is now pending. Very disappointed with Chrysler, this was my dream car and I can't even enjoy it. The car has less than 23,000 miles and I am scared to drive it. I don't understand why Chrysler does not recall these cars. My confidence and satisfaction with the Chrysler products is at an all time low.
When filled up the gas tank and started to drive the car died.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling, the engine stalled while driving at 5 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the charcoal canister needed to be replaced and the throttle needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 70,000. Updated 07/10/lj the consumer stated the fuel tank module failed. When the tank was filled it caused the engine to lose power. Updated 07/19/2013.
After gasoline fill up, vehicle stalls after leaving gas station. Most likely to happen first quarter mile after fill up and sometimes within five miles. Later occurrences may happen upon making left turn. Took to dealer and vehicle checked out. Vapor canister and purge valve tested ok. Was told fuel control valve may be problem but the fuel tank would have to be removed to access the part. Cost would be considerable. Condition has continued to occur upon fill up for over a year now with rare exception. I find it quite distracting and dangerous when vehicle stalls in traffic as it takes several seconds to get restarted and may reoccur again. I have an appointment to repair tomorrow, 31 October 2013. If vehicle is recalled for this issue I would like to be eligible for reimbursement.
The car will hesitate and stall unexpectedly. It seems to occur only immediately after refueling. I have had the car die as I am crossing busy intersections. After driving a few miles, the problem seems to go away. Internet chatter seems to indicate a bad evap. Solenoid/canister or from a vent valve sensor inside the tank that is causing the problem and the tank would have to be replaced. A costly fix. This can be quite dangerous as the car will hesitate and stall even at highway speeds. It seems that this is a fairly common problem. I asked my local Chrysler dealer assistant manager if he had ever heard of this problem and he said no, and also checked for any existing Chrysler service bulletins on this subject and found none .
Every time I fill up the fuel tank the car cuts off for at least 25 miles on any spead and turns off at speed less than 25.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the rollover valve caused the failure and that the fueltank would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired because the manufacturer stated the fuel tank was on back order. The failure mileage was 49,000 and the current mileage was 59,000.
My car stalls after refueling the tank. I am using "plus" gas and it still stalls several times after refueling, usually at a stop light or slowing down but also when just driving along. The car will buck a few times and then just stall out. It takes a few tries to get it to turn over but eventually it will. This happens every time we fuel up. I bought the car second-hand from a dealer who liked to charge me for misc repairs they never actually fixed (according to my own mechanic). My mechanic has no answers. Other than this dangerous problem, I like my vehicle, do you know if Chrysler has the answer and if this can be resolved? I am guessing at when the problem started. Sometime in 2012 shortly after the purchase.
Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300 c. The contact stated that when refueling, the vehicle would stall or accelerate independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the fuel tank and the filler neck needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 96,000. Kmj.
I noticed that when I refueled my car, it would stall right away. It has happened may times when I refueled my car. I didn't matter what brand or octane I used. I went on line and noticed other people having the same problem. One of the solutions I used was not to fill up my car all the up. They (blog websites) said that the engine becomes flooded (they went to the Dodge dealerships and that's what they told them, and the entire fuel system had to be changed from the gas tank to fuel lines and evap system ) and the car cant correct itself and stalls. And ever since I started doing this solution my car hasn't stalled. If I do fill up my car all the way I have to burn off some gas in order for the car to be safe to drive.

We bought the car used. Every time we fill the gas tank up, it stalls after about half a block or less of driving.
Our 2006 Chrysler 300 srt8 dies after fueling the gas tank to full. It has died in intersections were we have almost been hit and in turns car dies, locks up and there is no power anything. We have taken it to the dealership 4 times and continuously pay money to turn run diagnostic, only to hear " we cannot duplicate the problem" I have spent $400. 00 to be told there is nothing wrong. Car becomes very hard to restart. Once I get the vehicle started, again the stalling starts, this will happen serval times before the car remains on. As I drive home, I could feel the car "sputtering" or hesitating like it wanted to shut down again. When starting car in the morning it feels like it wants to die. Please help this car is my family's main transportation and I fear that one day this issue will cause a crash. I have a 3 year old and a baby on the way. Help!!! Chrysler does not care about lives, only the bottom line.
Bought the car used. After only a week, the car started stalling and would die at most stops. The fuel tank was replaced by dealer per extended warranty. This did not solve the problem!!! it's worse now than before the tank was replaced!! this is a very dangerous car to drive!! there are thousands of these case reported. Chrysler needs to figure this out and make good on a very serious safety issue. How many have to die before something is done?!!!!.
After refueling, car stalls, hesitates and shuts off multiple times for several minutes or miles. Only happens when tank is filled all the way to automatic pump shut-off. This happens to me almost every time I refuel, unless I stop refueling a gallon or two short of full ( work-around that I discovered only recently). It is dangerous and has not caused an accident yet, but has put me in several white-knuckle situations sitting at an intersection with no power.
