Tank Filler Pipe And Cap Problems of Chrysler 300C

I have a 2006 Chrysler 300c 5. 7 hemi. Have owned car for over a year and never overfilled gas tank and never had this problem before. I got a full tank of gas, then started car and pulled away, a block later the car died. This happened 7 times over the next 2 miles to get car home. Car stalled, rpm's down, starting jerking. I kept it in neutral to keep it from dying. Went home and googled problem - seems to be either 3 things - fuel vapor canister (located above right rear tire), fuel vapor canister purge valve (located in engine compartment), or rollover/check valve (located in fuel tank). Took car to firestone next day and they said that vapor canister and purge valve are working and it was be the component in the tank. Said it will cost $1,500 for new tank. I said no way, I'll wait till there is a recall on this, which there damn well better be. If this car stalled on expressway, I would have been screwed. There is a fast fix instead of replacing anything - either fuel tank only 3/4 full, or leave gas cap off after fueling, so that no pressure is in tank and vapor is burned off through filler neck, instead of through engine. I feel like calling Chrysler dealership tomorrow and seeing what they say. This can't be tolerated. The vapor canister is an emissions thing that takes fuel vapor and burns it though engine, but if it malfunctions, it will suck up fuel and flood engine. So hopefully the more people that comment on here, the more chance there will be a recall so that I don't have to fork over $1,500 for a defective manufacturing issue, that the dealer needs to fix for free.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The contact stated that she was unable to fill the fuel tank to the full level. After fueling the vehicle, it would stall. Sometimes the engine would restart immediately and other times it would take over five minutes. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer four times but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact called the manufacturer who advised her to call NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000. Updated 1/19/2010 the dealer replaced the charcoal canister and fuel cap. Updated 04/19/11.

When filling the gas rank (no topping off) the motor would stall out, had car towed to service garage only to find the car would start. This has happened 2 times, after that it would occur at every fill, it has now gotten to the point where the car stalls out between 2 and 10 times, we don't dare go on the highway for at least 1/2 hour for fear of stalling in traffic! web search indicates this is a very common defect with this model, was told repair would require replacing the gas tank and fuel canister because fill pipe is too high on factory original tank? sounds like a defective factory part that needs dealing with for safety concerns, thank you much for your attention!
