Car Stall Problems of Chrysler 300C - part 2

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled multiple times. The oil sensor light also illuminated each time the vehicle stalled. The oil was changed twice by a local mechanic and the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who was unable to replicate nor diagnose the failure. The contact was unable to pass an inspection due to the vehicle having a fractured passenger side tie rod. An authorized dealer diagnosed and repaired the right tie rod. The vehicle was scheduled to be inspected and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 66,430.

Very soon after purchasing the 2006 Chrysler 300c (used), it began shutting off while driving. Obviously this is incredibly dangerous. After "googling" is seems people all over with this vehicle have had similar problems, an some were attributing this to filing up the gas tank. We took due caution not to fill up the tank (how ridiculous is this?) and the problem has continued. An extended warranty was purchased from the Ford dealership we purchased at. After the run around about who actually "fixes" the car, it was taken to a Chrysler dealership who charged us $400. 00 for a battery and then replaced some wiring harness which did nothing. We are back at it with the dealership. I see an article in the la times on the internet saying to take the vehicle back to the dealership. That's not helping. We haven't put 2,000 miles on this vehicle in almost a year now. It is unsafe to drive and has no value. Help. Nhtsa obviously knows about this. . Read more...

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that when driving at various speeds the vehicle would stall without warning. The contact indicated that after restarting the engine the vehicle would operate normally before stalling again. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect but no remedy was offered. The failure mileage was 105,000.

I have a Chrysler 300c 2005. The car stalled 4 times on the freeway for no apparent reason. It seems to be when I was in traffic and I would slow down to about 30-40 mph and then the car would stall. Very dangerous. The steering would lock up and I would have to put the car in park to start the car again. Not something you would want to have happen with your family in the car.

2006 Chrysler 300c, 5. 7l hemi engine, I had driven the vehicle approx, 25 miles with no problems. Stopped in a parking lot, went into the business. When I came out to start my engine, the car would not start. The engine would crank but not run. I called roadside service for help. They could not get the car to run. I had the car towed to a repair shop. The shop diagnosed the problem. The shop reported to me that 3 cylinders had no compression, the valves had dropped down into the motor, three spark plugs were crushed. I needed to replace the engine. I have done some research on this model engine, this problem has happened to other 5. 7 hemi's. The valve retainers fail and let the valve drop and cause severe engine damage. This could have been avoided if I had been notified. There is a retro-fit available to change the valve retainers. I now have a current bill for the diagnosis, removal and install a used engine for $8,063. 26. This charge can go up if the retro-fit has not been done yet. I am waiting to find out if the replacement used engine has been retro-fitted.

Car stalls after full or partial fill-up at gas station. Very dangerous if stall occurs when in freeway traffic or when making turns in front of oncoming traffic!!.

When I started pulling out of the driveway it started to shutter badly and stalled out. It started back up but it immediately was running very rough as if it wasnt running on all cylinders. I took it to my mechanic where he put it on the scanner and a code came up stating that the #6 cylinder was faulty. When running the car has no power and you can hear a distinct clicking of the mds solenoid. As it click on and off the cars idle was normal then very rough. Service records are immaculate, oil changed every 3000 miles with mobil 5-20 full synthetic. Service suggestions have been strictly followed. The solenoid was changed out and it ran fine for about 500 miles and then it started doing it again, very random and mostly when you go into passing gear on the freeway thats when you totally lose power and it shutters violently. We cant find anything for suggestions on how to fix it except that it may be a bad computer or a clogged oil port in the cylinder head. Both possible solutions are very costly and I would hate to spend all that money and it not fix the issue. There is a serious issue because of the acceleration problem could very well cause a serious accident.

I pulled out of the gas station after topping the tank off with gas. At the first red light the vehicle stalled. It stalled again at the second red light. After I got on the highway, the vehicle ran fine again.

The contac t owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated, while driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. Additionally, the vehicle would sporadically stall after being refueled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle however, the failure was recurring. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure . The failure and current mileage was 34,000.

While driving down the road, the car stalled with no signs of issues. This has happened multiple times without any common reason.

Vehicle will stall while driving or surge while trying to stop without notice for up to thirty minutes or approximately 20 miles after normal fuel up (no topping off!). I suddenly surged while approaching another vehicle from behind at a stop light and my vehicle nearly caused a collision. While driving on a two-lane curved road the vehicle stalled causing loss of steering and near collision with on-coming traffic and had to stop quickly which caused a road hazard for other vehicles coming around a tight turn behind me. Once restarted, I continued on same road and vehicle died again in a turn on same road causing the steering to go out again which lead to veering off the road and with the potential of falling down a 30 foot un-gaurded decline. Vehicle will stall and surge while in idle as well. I have been able to replicate this issue reliablly on three separate occasions. I welcome any skeptics from Chrysler or other investigative authorities to contact me so that I may demonstrate the severity of this issue if necessary. This is dangerous!!!.

The car stalled and restarted itself on the interstate over 10 times yesterday. I got off the interstate and the car stalled 6 times on local streets and had to be restarted with the starter 6 times. I have reported this problem to NHTSA before. The local paper reported last week (Feb 15, 2014) that Chrysler had acknowledge the problem as the fuel tank and they would extend the fuel tank warranty for life in cars now on the road. I contacted the Chrysler dealership on Feb 17, 2014 and they said to contact Chrysler at 800 992 1997. I contacted Chrysler at 800 992 1997 on Feb 17, 2014 and they took my information and said that they would pass it to the technical department and then get back to me (case # 24604052). I again contacted Chrysler at 800 992 1997 on Feb 20, 2014 and they said they knew nothing about the problem (case # 24604052 from 2/17) and that I was not scheduled to get a letter. I have had this problem from 2006 and Chrysler has always said it might be bad gas or whatever and have indicated that I was the only one to have this problem. I have replaced 3 sensors and the pcm over the years with no change in symptoms. Chrysler might have owned up to the problem with NHTSA pe13016, however they have had the same story with me over the years, from the first time I reported the car stalling 3 months after I purchased the car in 2006. Does NHTSA take Chryslers word that they will fix the problem or do they check up on them and make Chrysler fix the problem? this car was purchased for my wife and she has refused to drive it for the last 3 years. I only drive it if I have to.

Everytime I fill up my tank, and begin to drive, if I slow down and/or come to a stop, the engine dies. This will happen several times until I pick up speed or park the car for an extended time. If I get on the highway, I dont seem to have a problem. Only when I'm driving slowly, right after I fill up my tank. If I let the car sit for several hours after refueling, I dont have this problem. On my way to work today, the car stalled out 4 times at 4 different lights.

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 I fill up (I do not overfill), within the first several miles I drive, the vehicle will stall when slowing down for a stop light. I have also had it that at 40-50 mph it will "hesitate/jerk" like there is a fuel mix issue. This has happened two times in the last week.

Car stalled multiple times on road after I filled the tank; to date dealership has replaced canister and purge valve, replace oxygen filter, and is now recommending replacing fuel tank.

Vehicle stalls several times after filling up the gas tank, mostly while idling. And, it is difficult to re-start after stalling. Engine also runs "rougher" after fill-up. Problem has gotten worse over the past few months. Took 300c to local mechanic who says there is a problem with the gas tank overflow valve. Solution is to replace gas tank or never completely fill it up. It seems that with all of these similar safety complaints, Chrysler should find an alternative fix.

After fueling my vehicle I drove about 300 feet away from the gas station, and my car completely stalled out without restarting for about 5 minutes. After getting the car to restart I drove for another 5 miles and the car stalled out again. After the second stall I let the car sit on the side of the road for about 10 minutes and turned it back on and drove away. This is not the first time I have experienced this issue, it has happened 2 other times before. I fear that if this keeps happening with no resolution from Chrysler people may have to report something worse than just the car stalling.

After re-fueling vehicle, car stalled at 5 intersections. Vehicle was difficult to restart. Vehicle would not always go back into gear after restarting until several attempts were made. After burning off a few gallons of fuel on the highway, the vehicle no longer stalled/misfired. Tank was not "topped-off" when filled, it was filled until the pump stopped automatically. Stalling occurs every time vehicle is filled to full.

After refueling the car it will begin to run, and idle, rough to the point that it stalls. This happens every time the car is refueled. Most of the time it dies while idling, but has died while driving several times. The issue is worse if the car is refueled from the point that the low fuel light is on. It will die several times when refueled from this low level in the tank. The car has died while leaving a red light and getting as far as the intersection and having to try to restart it while in the middle of the intersection.

I have a hemi engine. Within the last year it started stalling on me when my gas tank was on empty and I filed it up. On the freeway a few times and it stalls!! I took to different shops and they could not figure out. Now my problem is getting worse. It stalls on me multiple times after gas. It spit and jerks. Completely dangerous. I am a accident injury adjuster that does claims everyday all day, and if I get into an accident because of this , I will sue both Chrysler and NHTSA. Someone please respond as I am getting very frustrated and want this covered under warranty.

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.

Our Chrysler 300c had begun to stall out while driving with more than 3/4 tank of gas. We began to limit the amount of gas to never fill more than 3/4 tank. This lasted for approximately 6 months. In Dec, 2013 the vehicle began to stall at other times. I had between 1/4 to 1/2 in the tank when we were driving at approx 45mph when the vehicle began to stall then restart at first. Then it stalled entirely several times that evening as we tried to make it home. I had my 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters with me at the time. The next morning I took the vehicle to local dlr, lee Chrysler, were I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle stalled on me 3 times while I was trying to make it the 3 miles. The dealer had the car until 12-16-2013 when they advised that the proportional valve/purge vale needed replaced and that all of the updates to the system needed to be made. The total of this attempt to repair was $379. 45. The car immediately began to stall again so I returned it. They kept the car for approximately two weeks with their computer hooked up to it then advised that the pcm needed replaced this repair cost a total of $1,018. 61. The car was on empty so he offered to stop for gas. He filled the tank up then pulled out to 5 lanes of traffic and stalled. The vehicle would not restart for several attempts. I called the dealer and they wrecker after the vehicle. They had the car for one night and called us to pick up and run the gas out to 1/4tank. We were told it would not stall again because they had disconnected the emissions system. While I was driving the car on a very busy 7 lane hwy with my daughter and 3 month old granddaughter the car came to a dead stop in 40mph traffic. I was terrified but was able to get the vehicle to the center lane. They have now called and advised another sensor must be replaced. Someone is going to get injured or killed in this car.

Stalled several times while driving after filled up with gas.

Every time after gas fill up from the first time in Dec 2012 to now, this car stalls after fill up. I purchased this car new in may 2004 from Chrysler dealer and all service has been with bosak Chrysler. I was thinking gas filters, but until I checked here to find out if there was any recall, found that too many others have this same problem. I don't see any notifications filed by Chrysler, are we all to assume that Chrysler is not attempting to address this situation.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was 81,010.

Car stalls after fill-up. Will stall even without topping off tank. This will happen when pulling out into traffic. Will stall multiple times and buck while driving for a time. Can not fill up tank.

After refueling the car, I was entering the main road from a side street, when the car started to buck and bounce. It eventually shut off. I started the car again and while pulling to the side of the road, the bucking and bouncing started again. I shut the engine off myself. I waited approx. 3-5 minutes and restarted the vehicle and drove it to the Chrysler dealership. This stalling/bucking has happened three times and each time the vehicle has been returned to the dealership.

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!.

This issue has been happening for the last year or so. My car stalls for no reason it happens when I am backing out of parking spot, stopped at a light, entering or exiting the freeway, while I am driving on surface streets and when I am driving on the freeway. If I am driving on surface streets or freeway the car does not stall but momentarily dies (for a half second). My engine light flashes and all the gauges on the dashboard go to 0. The car will then come back to life and continue to operate normally but can "die" again a few moments later or not at all for days or months. It feels like an electronic issue but it is very difficult to say has there is no common characteristic between each incident and there does not appear to be any common environmental issue that causes it. The issue is intermittent does not happen often but happens often enough that it is a concern. Some days it will happen repeatedly then not happen for months. Lately it has been happening more frequently I have taken my car into the dealership twice. The first time they found no codes and could not determine there was an issue as the issue is intermittent. The second time I had a engine light and they found a code for tcm sensor but stated that was not the problem. They said I had too much transmission fluid that caused a sensor to malfunction, they removed the excess fluid but the issue has still persisted. The most recent incident did not trigger any codes.

After refueling the vehicle it stalls. The vehicle looses steering power. This has happened numerous times. I have tried to not let the fuel get to low and have tried filling the tank at different levels with no luck.

After fueling car, it stalls out. After restart will run and may or may not stall again. Not a very good thing to happen. Could become the cause of an accident. Dealership says no recalls on car.

After filling up with gas I went about 2-3 miles on us1 in wake forest, after stopping at the light at us1a I proceeded to turn onto us1a and my car stalled. I was in the middle of a lot of traffic and I had to manage to turn onto the side of the road and restart the car to continue to proceed. After traveling about another 1 to 2 miles it stalled again. This is the second time after filling the gas tank that this has happened and when the vehicle stalls I lose power steering which makes it very difficult to drive.

After filling up the fuel tank from a start of 1/8 th to full tank, the car stalled after leaving the service station about 200 feet down the road while stopped at a light. After getting the vehicle restarted I began to accelerate from the stopped position but driving power train was fairly erratic as the car attempted to lurch forward or accelerate unpredictably then would pull back by nearly stalling. This continued for several miles before reaching my driveway. The car while in neutral loped substantially from 2000 rpm to 100rpm several times before stalling. Attempting to start the car after stalling was successful. Leaving the car parked and off for 60 minutes had no beneficial effect. After returning the starting was very difficult and the instrument panel gauges were not lit until the car started again. The car continues to be idle erratically both while in park and in drive and at slow speeds.

After filling up with fuel at bp gas station my engine sped up 300 rpm and shut-off in the station. I restated it and it ran with a slight hesitation. I could smell raw fuel coming out of the exhaust. It stalled 3 more times within 20 mins. One time on a sharp curve in the road. I had no power steering; good thing it wasn't my wife driving.
