Car Stall Problems of Chrysler 300C - part 1

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.

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.

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300c. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. Failure codes appeared after the vehicle was retrieved. Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram fiat of santa fe (4470 cerrillos rd, santa fe, nm 87507, (505) 629-0746) stated that there appeared to be an electrical failure and were checking all the wiring on the harness with multiple codes appearing.

My car stalls while driving periodically stalls when the car is at idle. It even stallls going down the highway at speeds 65. We have changed everything possible except the engine. The car starts right up after stall but will stall in traffic. I have looked at many forums and they all say the same thing numerous complaints of car shutting off while driving. I have checked all recalls. This is a major safety concern. This happens everyday.

Car has low idle approx 500rpm should be at least 700 stalls when in gear at a red light. Potential safety problem if it stalls when light turns green could get rear ended. 1000's of complaints of this on internet. Chrysler has known this problem for 10 yrs with this hemi 5. 7 motor with no idle adjustment possible. Idle is computer controlled and dearership can not adjust it. Very simple very cheap fix. A computer patch to allow dealership to adjust idle. Dealership says there is no fix for problem. Told to clean throttle body I did idle went down. Dangerous and stupid on Chrysler part very poor and dangerous cust serv.

Timing chain failure. Caused major engine damage and failure. I was driving on the highway at 55mph and the car suddenly stalled and would not start. Had it towed to the mechanic and learned that the timing chain had broken and caused catastrophic failure/damage in the engine. I had to replace the engine, costing nearly $7k.

As I'm driving my car it will shut off/ stall in the middle of traffic. Does not matter if I stop at a red light/ stop sign, driving fast/ slow, highway/ street, turning a corner/ parking the car will turn off. After taking it to 2 different shops and the dealer. No one can find the problem. It is still unknown. I'm scared to drive it but I have to work.

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.

My 2008 Chrysler 300c srt design with the 5. 7 hemi dropped a valve seat and broke the #6 piston while driving down the highway. I know this problem usually happens on short driving distances but here is that one occurrence where it happened when engine was at full operating temperature. It starting miss firing while driving and by the time we could get to the shoulder to stop it was blowing smoke like crazy. The car had 127,000 miles on it but trust me when I say this it wasn't from lack maintenance. I love cars and take extremely well care of mine. When I pulled the valve cover to remove the head it was so clean in the valve train that even my friend who is triple master ase certified mechanic said, " damn that's one of cleanest engines he had ever seen. After extensive research I have found out that many Dodge and Chrysler vehicle owners have had the very same issue, maybe just another cylinder where valve seats have just dropped. To my understanding it's the choice in material they used in the seat itself and then pressing it into an aluminum head is where the problem lies. Different metals have different reactions to heat where one metal such as aluminum will heat faster than then the metal used in the valve seat. Causing valve seats to come loose and drop into the cylinder chamber causing catastrophic failure in engines. How can this not be recalled by the manufacturer when it is clearly a manufacturing defect. I'm still making payments on this car and now I'm looking at $5000. 00 to get a remanufactured long block and then paying to have it installed. I feel the Chrysler corporation should be held liable for vehicles that have dropped valve seats. There's no warning as to when it will happen but rest assured if you own a 2003 to 2008 5. 7 hemi chances are it will happen to you too. I want what's fair and that's to be reimbursed for cost of a new engine.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. While driving various speeds or while parked, the vehicle stalled and the interior and exterior lighting flickered without warning. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The contact took the vehicle to zimmer Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (1086 burlington pike, florence, ky 41042 (859) 525-1344) to be serviced for NHTSA campaign numbers: 16v352000 (air bags) and 15v313000 (air bags) and notified them of the failures. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 102,373.

Initially the vehicle began to shut off and restart at various speeds ranging from 45-65 mph, mileage on the vehicle when the problem surfaced was approx . 138,000. In 2016 after replacement of the pcm ,fuel tank, alternator, solenoid, battery, and cam shaft sensor the problem sporadically reoccurred every 300 miles, and failure has increased in frequency and now occurs regularly but sporadically at low speeds of 1-20 causing a full stall with no restart. The failure is typically at a light and when tempting aa turn. It has been observed during the high speed incidents,all electrical systems are in failure- dash lights go off, the analog rpm and speedometer gauges spontaneously drop to zero, and then the entire system restarts and gauges resume normal readings, all occurring within a few seconds at most. Additionally the vehicle will not start after sitting for 3 hours, the electrical works but engine will not turn over. After each incident car was taken for a diagnostic reading and either no fault code was registered, or an engine communication failure code occurs. This has been an on going issue for the past 2 years.

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. . . .

The car will stall unexpectedly. Often when idling at a stoplight, and sometimes when I am driving the oil light warning comes on, the engine cuts out, and power steering ceases to work. I must restart the car and rev the engine before proceeding, it has yet to happen while driving at high speeds on the freeway. On more than one occasion I have had the local Chrysler dealership mechanics look at the car, and the problem still persists, usually with increased frequency after filling the gas tank to full. To reiterate, often when I am idling at a stoplight the Chrysler 300 stalls. But this sometimes happens when I am in motion driving down a road as well. The mechanics I have had look at my car have found nothing wrong. But it usually happens with greater frequency right after I fill the gas tank to full.

I own a 2006 Chrysler 300c. Since 2013, I have experienced issues with the vehicle stalling while driving at low speeds. The car stops completely, sometimes restarting on its own, sometimes it does not. Chrysler replaced the fuel tank in 2015, stating that was the cause of the issue, but the car continues to stall. Most recently, it stopped while merging onto a busy highway, while driving with my wife and children in the car. The car randomly turns off, no warning. Now the vehicle stopped and refuses to start at all.

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.

Car stalls with no warning or engine lights/codes. While driving(very dangerous!!).

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.

Car stalls unexpected after fueling up.

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.

Every time I completely fill my tank my car will occasionally stall at traffic lights or driving. After a few times restarting the engine it will be fine until I fill the tank again. It seems to happen mostly when the tank goes below 1 quarter of the tank. I have seen complaints before from other makes about a fuel float valve in the tank that can send a signal to your computer that the tank is empty and shut the engine off. Why is this not a recall for this model? there is definitely a danger in traffic situations.

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.

My Chrysler 300c has been stalling everytime I drive it. Ive taken it to two Chrysler dealerships. One of them charged me more then $300 for nothing because they couldn't even find the problem but ended up charging me for the time. The second dealership changed my fuel tank that Chrysler gave a lifetime warranty on. It did not fix the problem. The car is still stalling at every stop I make. I think the problem isn't with the fuel tank because it did not fix the stalling issue. I think that its something to do with the wiring or computer. I also think that Chrysler should fix this issue ASAP. They said it was the gas tank but its clearly not. Why should I be paying thousands of dollars for a faulty problem that isnt my fault. I take care of my car and its only got 140,000km on it. Chrysler told me that it would cost thousands of dollars to find the problem. Please let me know what I should do. I think that Chrysler said it was the fuel tank because that would be a cheaper way to handle with this issue other then spending hours to find the problem. Chrysler should be fixing this problem not me. The car has died on me while making a left turn in the middle of a intersection. That is not safe and it has happened to me more then 20 times. I also feel like im damaging my car everytime I have to turn it back on. It also guzzles the gas more just by turning it back on everytime. Please get Chrysler to do something about this. If the car still has the stalling issue after getting the gas tank changed then atleast get Chrysler to find the problem at no cost to me.

Stalled on several occassions after filling the tank up. Also while going at lower speeds. Hassitation and lost of power afterwards. Since my last fill up, the car won't start now. I read that hundreds of other people are having the same problem due to a float swells up into a stuck open position, allowing an overfill condition.

On multiple occasions (more notably in moist weather, I. E. Rain, morning dew, and humidity) my vehicle has stalled out causing me to have to pull off or veer on to the shoulder of the road. The vehicle does not show any error codes, nor does it have any stored codes from the occasions that this particular issue has come up. The dealerships in my area claim that they have never heard of this issue before and cannot attribute it to anything in particular. They are reluctant to provide me any type of advice because they don't want to be "subject to lemon laws" and so for that fact I feel that Chrysler is attempting to turn a blind eye to a very real, very dangerous issue with their vehicles.

I'm having the same problem with the car stalling when I fill up the gas tank all the way. It has happened numerous times and is very dangerous. I pulled out in traffic and it stalled, blocking traffic. It took several times to start again. Very dangerous. I could die. I took it to my local dealership in scottsbluff, ne and they don't see an extended lifetime warranty on the gas tank, like there is supposed to be, like it mentions on the NHTSA website.

Car stalled without warning, all dash lights lit up, gauges quit, climate control stopped, restarted and after driving about 500 feet all returned to normal???.

When coming to a complete stop or sometimes at low speed, the vehicle will stall. This incident occurred four times in one day.

Filled up with gas. While driving 30 mph car stalled going down a hill and brakes became rigid. To try to avoid crashing into other vehicle I went over a sidewalk. Tire broke, hit a tree and had to shut off car to stop car as brakes were not stopping the car. Then I ended damage another vehicle because of busy traffic. This all happened because the car stopped less than 5 minutes after refueling.

2006 Chrysler 300c. Stalls shortly after fueling. Does not resolve until the gas cap has been removed and allowed to sit. Called the dealership and they say my car does not fall under the recall parameters. Was told to reference this number pe13-016.

We were on a cross-country trip and one night we had just filled up and went across the parking lot to a fast food window and while getting our food the car starting jerking and died. It was hard to start but finally we were able to go a little further and it died at our hotel. The rest of the way home whenever we filled up the car would stall several times. It stopped for awhile but recently has started dying again when I fill up. Last night I filled up and the car died several times in traffic. We do not overfill and tighten the gas cap tightly.

Was passing a slower vehicle when car stalled. Two days later, after filling up with gas, it started dieing off and on. This could be a very serious problem if driving at hiway speeds!!.

After filling up my car with gas the car stalls. This has happened several times after filling up and is a safety concern. The car stalls when driving at any speed. Car restarts but if on highway all power is lost - safety concern.
