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.
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 [xxx] 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.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My airbag light comes on intermittently and i am not sure if it is safe to drive.i realize there is a recall already in place to fix, but i am being informed by my dealership and by my chrysler customer service reprep that my airbag can not be repaired until december 2016that is over a year from now and 19 months from the original recallof may 29, 2015 airbag recall number 15v-313that is ridiculous.i understand this is a big recall,but my issue is that dealerships are only fixing one car a week per (chrysler) regardless of how many parts are sentto dealers. If this truly a "safety recall" how is that allowed to happen? i have all dates and times of who i have spoken to at chrysler and the dealership.
I received a notice from nhtsa that the driver airbag inflator had been recalled. I called the dealer where i purchasedthe car at riverside moss bros. They put me on some list claiming they have no parts and that as the parts come in they work off their list and i will get a call.i have called them back weekly since with no help.they claim they only get two parts for the recall repair each week. So if i'm lucky they might fix it in the next two or three years.i called an online parts vendor and they said i could get the parts by ups in a week or less.so the dealer is playing games with people. I went online and wrote the owner mr. Moss who puts on a show of how important his customers are but he or a minion never replied by phone, letter or email.these guys don't get it.next car will be from another dealer. Just need help getting the recall fixed.

I turned on the ignition and the air bag light was on. Approx a week later i received an a alert from nhtsa advising of a recal.the dealership has no knowledge.
I have received (several) notice about my air bag inflator housing having to be replaced. I've been to the dealer. The replacement part isn't available. It's been more than a year and no one is concerned except me. I feel like i'm not safe, i drive 100 miles a day (round trip ) for work. What if anything can i do? i can't afford to replace the car at this point.
Our 2006 chrysler 300c dies after fueling the gas tank to full. It has died in intersections were we have almost been run into and in turns where is locks up and there is no power anything and have almost crashed. We have taken it to the dealership and continuously pay money to fix what they think it is and now for the third time they are asking for almost 1800 dollars to replace the tank. I can definitely see how this is a major problem and a huge safety issue.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that whenever she added fuel to the vehicle it failed to start. The contact was driving 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated and stalled.

The current mileage was 60,000.
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.
Most of the time, the engine will stall at a stop with all gauges dropping to zero.this also happens when the car is moving down the roadway.engine does not start smoothly.most times it takes at least two attempts to start it.sometimes upon restart the gauges remain at zero.upon start, engine will run for a brief time and will run maybe 1 block or so before stalling again. It will run without incident until the next episode.there may be a spread of 3 to 4 weeks between incidents.sometimes the engine speed jumps up without accelerator input making the car leap forward.this has happened once to me.sometimes when the engine is restarted and put into gear, the transmission does not engage immediately, but after a very brief delay causing a "jump" into gear when it does engage.the esp bas light comes on a majority of the time this happens.sometimes the gauges all drop to zero while the car is running.almost always, i can feel in the running of the engine that something is not quite (almost imperceptive missing) right before this happens.i took the car to a chrysler dealership immediately after this happened and asked them to read the codes.they told me many codes had been recorded.
While driving car randomley has m0mentary loss of power. There is a bell sound and then the car restarts, but it drops out of cruise control and sometimes has check engine light, or other dash lights. Usually lights clear upon restart. This has happened from nov 2019 to present.
My car has been displaying erratic behavior for aboutthe last seven months. The more recent problem i've experienced is that my car shuts off at a complete stop and sometimes as i'm braking to come to a stop at a light and power steering locks up as it shuts off. I feel this is extremely unsafe being i've dodged a few accidents already because of this issue. What if i'm at a light and getting ready to turn or make a u turn and it shuts off in on coming traffic, or if i'm on the highway and i have to suddenly brake and it shuts off at high speeds. I'm not sure what can be done but i hope i can get help some way, some how. I feel my life depends on it.
While on a curvy road after dark, at 45 mph, the electrical system shut down, dash lights flashed and went off, engine died. 40 mph on a curvy road with no lights. After 20 seconds it all came back on. Had no problems for 3 months. Electrical system has momentarily shut down on 4 other occasions since then. On 12/08/15 my wife was in line at the dandridge elementary school picking up my grandson. While in car pickup line with the transmission in drive, the dash lights came on, the vehicle accelerated (surged forward) then died. Engine died 5 times before she could get it home. This would be called a near miss accident in a workplace setting.car is operating normally at this time. I held an ase master technician certification and in my opinion it is a dangerous electrical condition. I realize that someone must die in order to get this problem fixed and that is a shame.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost power and stalled. The steering wheel seized and the brakes became very difficult to operate. After ten minutes, the contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 109,000.
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
My 300c 2006 engine shuts off. Sitting at a light or driving. Dealer had it, spent 1800.00. They did not fix. Have it at a garage. They have replaced most sensors. Just spent 390 dollars on a new controller board (brain) its now more frequent. Started happening 2 years ago but not this frequent. Did a coolant flush, transmission flush,
Vehicle stalled once while driving about 20 miles an hour then once while starting from a stop sign, it shut off all systems.
Purchased car used and within 24 hours had car stall on me totaling about 6 times now within 2 weeks. It has stalled everywhere from highway speeds to idling and while in reverse. Car starts back up without problem if put in neutral or park. Have had fuel injectors cleaned, new spark plugs ( manufacturer suggested copper) and all new ignition coils. Dealership said the stalling was caused by old spark plugs and worn ignition coils but continues to stall after all of these were replaced. It doesn't seem to matter what speed i am going, but seems to stall more when i reach around a quarter tank of gas. The car has stalled on me several times in traffic and while entering and exiting highway. I do not feel it is safe to drive especially with kids and family in the car, there is no warning of stall and is very unpredictable.
2006 chrysler 300c | engine stall while driving | possibly tipm-relatedi purchased my 2006 chrysler 300c just short of 6 months ago. Within the first week, as i was taking a left hand turn the ignition completely shut off. While the power was still active, i could not drive the car until i turned over the vehicle to restart the car. Thinking it was possibly a fringe issue i ignored to issue. Fast forwarding to today, my wife and i have experienced roughly 25-50 occurrences of the vehicle shutting off while the vehicle was in motion. I have been paying for a vehicle that only seems to work when it feels like it and what concerns me most is that every day i drive this vehicle i am endangering the lives of my wife and five children.
The chrysler start with no problem drive around stop park and get out the car. Return in a minute no crank start wait 15 or 20 minute the car will start. This problem accured 2 or 3 times a day after i park. Fuses ok, new starter, new battery, new tranmission nothing display on dishbroad or diagnostic machine several machanic unable to determent the problem no reading the car is ok but car contiue not to crank start i only have less than 50,000 miles after i was told that i needed a new transmission from a bronx new york dealership?
I had just filled up the tank and pulled across the street and into a parking lot. As i was pulling into a parking spot the car died. I was able to get it restarted after about three attempts. After leaving the store i drove home and it died on me at the end on the parking lot as i was pulling into traffic. It died once more as i was driving through a residential area at approx. 25 mph. After i got it home, i allowed it to idle in the driveway for about 5 minutes with no problem. After eating dinner i took it for a drive and it happened again at an intersection. It died and took about five attempts to get it restarted. Updated 10/1/2014
Engine stalling, lights in dash flickering, instrument cluster displays abs,eps,check engine light, speedometer and tachometer actuate erratic and sometimes inoperative.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that upon starting, the contact heard a pop as all of the electronic components failed. The contact inspected the vehicle and found that the battery had failed. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle suddenly stalled after refueling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000. The vin was unavailable.
Driving down road car engine will cut out may restart some times , or stall and have to restartmanually,check engine light came on took to local dealership put on computersaid that it just sent basic code have had car for over 3 month returned car said there was nothing wrongnext day driving car did same thing 4 times moreon me engine light on again said same codenow have had car for another month saying that they can not duplicate problem.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. On several occasions, the vehicle independently restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery and ignition module needed to be replaced, and the vehicle needed a tune-up. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
For the past several months, every time i fill up with gas, my car dies several times before i get home, which is about 5 miles from the gas station. Sometimes it will speed up without me pushing the accelerator just before it dies. It dies before i get out of the gas station, sometimes. Other times it dies as i pull to a stop at the light 1,000 feet from the gas station. The most recent occurrence was 2 days ago. I've had it to the dealership service department twice for this, but they can't find anything wrong. The fill up before this last one, i only filled the tank half full, and it didn't die, so it must be something to do with filling it all the way up. I don't top the tank off, either.
Car stalls when idle, car stalls when at low speed, car stalls when starting to drive (at low speeds), all power/electric cuts out intermittently while in motion.
I own a chrysler 2006 300 ci can not drive it at nightbecause the lights keep going offi believe its in the headlight assembly or ballast.
While driving the car abruptly stalls as if someone just turned the ignition off. And it is not a good feeling when you have to maneuver three lanes without power steering or brakes. The car must be stopped completely turn the ignition off and then back on to get the car going till it stalls again 6 times tonight just to drive 10 miles to get home.no warning you can be going 65 miles an hour or 5 and then without warning it just shuts down. This has happened 5 times in the last year the dealer keeps saying they fixed it but no here it is again stalling out less than a week from being at the dealers. Some times less than a day after they have had it. Why cant chrysler fix their own cars they act like they don't know what to do. It seems not to be a mechanical problem it runs great no sputtering or jerking just driving along and electronically it just shuts down. They have replaced a multitude of sensors and the pcm the tcm and some parts i cant even name and each time they say its fixed and each time it does the same thing again. I have spent thousands of dollars, lost time at work i cant drive my car with the feeling of safety or security. The stress levels in my family are sky high. What is it going to take for chrysler to fix their own car people are being treated unfairly and unjustly by this car and company. Please if they cant fix their own car who can?we as consumer's are being unfairly victimized please help.
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.
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 replacedthis 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.
My 2006 chrysler 300c 5.7l starting stalling after filling the tank and has progressively gotten worst.my car now stops while idle, at traffic lights,and has even stop while making a turn into traffic.i have taken it into the dealership who has tried to charge me labor to investigate the problem (thousands) but,ultimatelyclaim that they do not know what the problem is.after research,i have found that their are thousands of owners with my make and model having the same issue.i also found that chrysler's solution is to change the gas tank,which they claim should fix the issue.the dealership changed the tank under their extended warranty and this has not fixed the stalling problem.after doing more research i found that chrysler did a recall on this same stalling issue for the pacifica mini van,but did not include my make and model.the issues are found in 2005-2006 chrysler 300c hemi 5.7l engines.i don't understand how this dangerous issue has gone so long without a recall.someone is going to get seriously injured or killed by stalling while driving in traffic.meanwhile my car still has not been fixed.
What happen is that i just got the car used, had it 3 days cut the car off would not start back, i called the people who i got the car from, they cameand got it, had it for three weeks, could not fix it so they send it to a dealership they had it a month and a halfstill didn't fix it right, they said it was fixed but was not, i picked the car up drove it home 30 minutes, got home forgot something at the store got in car would not say anything, lights and radio andstill came on but car would not start,icould smell gas and they came and got the car again never mine that i had only had the car 3 days, ok they putnew cadillac converters on iti picked the car up,on my way home driving 20, car just cut off i thank god that no one hit me and it was 3 cars behind me i sat there for a minute and it started back but cut right off again, so i waited for a few more minutes, tried again, car started up and i went home cut car off, after 3 hours car was just dead would not do anything. Again call the shop, they came in picked the car upand that aug, right now the car is in the shop, they cant seem to find out what's wrong with it, they put a lot of new parts on the car they said when they thank it is fixed they let the car run about a hour, but yet again it cuts off,something needs to be done about these cars cutting off while they are being drove, there are no recalls on these cars for that, there are many many complaints about the same thing , what is going on with chrysler don't they know that a person can get kill drivingand the car cuts off at any speed, i have my grand baby's everyday, i will never want anything to happen to them or me, all i can say is something needs to be done. Thank you
After fueling vehicle, vehicle stalls and takes a minute to restart. This complaint is entered multiple times under pe13-016 and chrysler isn't meeting its obligations.
Car stalls unexpected after fueling up
Car is losing power and won't turn over when trying to start. After a few hours it will start and run fine until you turn it off again. New starter, new battery, new aternator wires fixed. Dealership doesn't know what's wrong with car
The car just died on me in full traffic, traveling at 45 miles per hour.cars speeding all around me, and mine just died.dealer claimed that the computer died and it fried the 2 fuel pumps for a total expense to fix of more than $2000.this is such a terrible design on chrysler's part that it could do this.it should be a recall and get paid for by the manufacturer.the dealer that did the work was perfomance chrysler at 95 loop rd, dayton, oh 45459
All dashboard lights blink on and off and then headlights go off and interior lights and dash all turn off - while driving!this is extremely unsafe! it was dark when this last happened and i was barely able to pull over to turn the car offand back on again. This has happened many times in the past 2 years.when you turn the car back on it seems to be ok.but very scary and unsafe.
My car is stalling wont run shuts off driving down the road. Doors lock battery runs dead wont start like engine is dead or no fuel. Bucking dies when i push on gas pedal. This happens in town on highway going over the [xxx] rail road tracks if my hurt i will sue your [xxx] offffffffff.i have almost been tboned rear ended and almost hit by a train. I have siblings whom have rode in my car. This is not safe and should be fixed at dodges expense as they know this is an issue in their cars,trucks and suvs.on the answers to your incident form accidents have almost happened multiple time. Own up and fix your [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Car completely shuts off out of nowhere even going 55 mph on the highway, almost caused a major accident! starts jumping gears mainly when the rpm is at 1 going into 2. When this happens the lights in the car flicker. After the car dies out, when you restart it its stuck in neutral even though you are in drive. Once you shut it off again and restart it, its as if nothing was wrong.there is a brand new alternator and a brand new battery in the car and it still shuts down whether you're going 55 on a highway or sitting at light ready to take off and it dies out then as well. I have children, this is very dangerous and scary! i have read thatmany individuals are having this same exact issue, please do something before someone gets seriously hurt. Thank you
The car randomly stalls out and sometimes while driving at highway speeds all the lights will briefly flash on in the dash, immediate loss of power and violent bucking.this is ridiculous!it happens all the time.this is not the full fuel tank stalling issue.i already had the tank replaced.this happens at wot or at idle or in between.this car is unsafe to drive.i have no confidence in the car anymore.i still love this car, but i'm considering going on a crusade against chrysler unless they do something immediately to fix this.read the forums - many people are having the same issues with the 6.1l and 5.7l engines.no one knows what to do.please help!!!
My 2006 chrysler 300c (hemi 5.7) will stall at low speeds or when stopped at a traffic light. The car does restart. At higher speeds (e.g,, 60mph), the vehicle will exhibit a sudden loss of power (drop in rpms, followed by a chime sound) as if the engine is about to stall, before reaccelerating again. The stalling/loss of power issue does not occur all the time. Sometimes, the car will operate as long as a day or two without incident. The dealer performed a complete system diagnostic - retrieved code po700 - related to loss of communication with pcm to multiple modules. (they may have been old stored codes.) then, they cleared the codes, road tested the car, but could not replicate the problem. The dealer returned the car and asked me to monitor it. They indicated that if the issue re-occurs, the vehicle will possibly need a pcm or ignition switch. My impression is that they are guessing at what the issue may be. The day after the car was returned to me, the same sudden stalling/loss of power issues recurred although the engine diagnostic light has not come on. I will be returning the car to the dealer, even though they have not been able to pinpoint the problem to date. I am very concerned about the sudden stalling and loss of power. This is a very serious safety issue that can result in an accident. I am married with a 9 month old baby.
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, andfailure has increased in frequency and now occurs regularly but sporadically at low speedsof 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.
It is extremely difficult to put shifter into park.it is usually stuck between r and p.i am required to forcefully pull shifter into neutral to start.this car has been plagued with some type of electrical issue that i have spent nearly $1000 trying to determine.i am unaware if the problem is related, but my concern is when it appears to be in park, the backup light are on.i can push the shift to put into park. I have removed the shroud in hopes to figure it out. This car is a pain.
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.
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
The 300 had a recall on the fuel tank, which was replaced january 2015 by tate in frederick md. Since then the stalling issue has gotten worse. I took the car to tate 4 times, and was told 4 different diagnostics. 1= transmission, 2= battery, 3=plugs & coils, 4=canister for extra fuel. I replaced the spark plugs & coils. Which didn't correct the issue. I took it to a 2nd dealer. Darcar's in rockville md and they are now telling me that its the transmission control module & power control module. My car no matter if there is a full tank or a 1/4 of tank stalls when i am at idle. It can stall once or the max is 9 times. I have a 1 1/2 year old & 5 year old which is a safety issue. I found this forum, which are other people having the same issue & different dealers are throwing different parts. I don't think the replacement of the fuel tank corrected this true issue. Can you please help me with discovering the true cause and making the cars safe for the drivers and passengers?
The engine shut off completely while driving. This caused a total loss in power steering, head lights, and anti-lock brakes. Fortunately i was on a well lit road with a long straightaway and able to muscle the car to a safe stop. Had i been a few miles farther down the road i would have been on a winding road with no street lights. It would have certainly caused a major accident.i took the car into a mechanic and they found nothing wrong with it.
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.
All of the warning lights begin flashing on and off, and the instrument gauges won't work (speedometer, fuel level, etc), and the headlights tail lights and brake lights stop working.
Vehicle has had 3 incidents of engine stalling.1st was early morning after being driven only .7 miles.next was 11/5/2013 after filling up on way home.car died at stop sign.next was 11/6/2013 after being driven less then a mile.car restarted after each incident.
Yes i was driving down the road and my radio blew up and threw glass all over me and my car /i feel like i had been shot at was listening to music, then had glass flying at me.luckily, i had my sun glasses on at the time because i had glass all over me, the front seat, and the back seat just every were in my car. Now i have an empty space were the radio goes. Someone is responsible for this if the stereo are not built better than that then why are they being put in cars now my car has a empty ugly hole because of this . Please reply with an answer.ma 10/20/15updated 10/20/15*lj
I was on a major highway with my family in the car. I was going 40mph when the car completely shut off! i thought we were doomed.its already been to 3 shops. Two of those were chrysler dealerships. No one knows the problem. I only had this car for a short period of time and im scared to drive it. I took on a major problem and no one "chrysler" wants to help. This is not a problem i created its a global problem. It needs to be addressed now!what's my next step?
In dec 09 my car began to stall at low speeds such as approaching lights and making turns. I took it into my local dealer that has performed all work on my car and they said it was a computer update. In june 2010 my car started doing the same thing - cutting off at slow speeds and making turns. I took it in once again and they could not reproduce the problem so they had no fix for it. I researched through forums and found many other chrysler 300 owners that complain of the same issue, yet no one seems to know what is causing it. At that point i went to the service manager because i just could not drive my car away knowing the dangers of it stalling in traffic and not cranking. He made some calls after looking at the information that i had found in my research and decided to change the ignition coils to see if that may alleviate the problem. I picked my car up approximately the end of june 2010 after 2 weeks of being in the shop and being advised that the problem may not be resolved as they didn't know what the issue was exactly and although my warranty expires in july, they would still honor it if the stalling occurs again. On aug 24,2010 it stalled once again at an intersection and would not crank back up this time. I had it pushed out of the line of traffic and towed to the dealer once again - warranty expired this time of course - they are now saying it cannot be the same issue because this time it did not crank back up, which i am working with chrysler on this issue, but, something has to be done to make chrysler find the issue that is causing this stalling as it can become a tragedy if it should stall in the line of traffic and after all the research i did - its obvious that it is a problem with at least this make and model because i found many who complained of the exact same thing with no one being able to explain why it is happens or any remedy to fix it. I cannot understand why chrysler is not making this more public considering the dangers of it.
I went to warm my car at about 1:55-2:25am friday, and a awful smell,so i yelled for help, turned the ignition off my car was now on fire. I could see the flames from thepassenger side i called the police department who transferred me to fire department who asked me what happened and to stay away from the vehicle i got a cup and of water put it out. The fire department came ,department came to my homeinspection of the car and said do not start the vehicle have it towed away.
I have a 2006 chrysler 300 c, that has been in the shop for service 3-4 times for the same issue.the psi light is constantly on, the service department states that it has to do with the sensors of the tires. I have made several attempts to resolve this issue with the dealer, but to no avail.it has to be a manufactures defect.where do i go from here?i pay a $749 car note a month and it seems that every other month my car is in the shop for the same issue.please advise.thank you,jeanette burgos
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.

What happen is that i just got the car used, had it 3 days cut the car off would not start back, i called the people who i got the car from, they cameand got it, had it for three weeks, could not fix it so they send it to a dealership they had it a month and a halfstill didn't fix it right, they said it was fixed but was not, i picked the car up drove it home 30 minutes, got home forgot something at the store got in car would not say anything, lights and radio andstill came on but car would not start,icould smell gas and they came and got the car again never mine that i had only had the car 3 days, ok they putnew cadillac converters on iti picked the car up,on my way home driving 20, car just cut off i thank god that no one hit me and it was 3 cars behind me i sat there for a minute and it started back but cut right off again, so i waited for a few more minutes, tried again, car started up and i went home cut car off, after 3 hours car was just dead would not do anything. Again call the shop, they came in picked the car upand that aug, right now the car is in the shop, they cant seem to find out what's wrong with it, they put a lot of new parts on the car they said when they thank it is fixed they let the car run about a hour, but yet again it cuts off,something needs to be done about these cars cutting off while they are being drove, there are no recalls on these cars for that, there are many many complaints about the same thing , what is going on with chrysler don't they know that a person can get kill drivingand the car cuts off at any speed, i have my grand baby's everyday, i will never want anything to happen to them or me, all i can say is something needs to be done. Thank you
My 2006 chrysler 300c 5.7l starting stalling after filling the tank and has progressively gotten worst.my car now stops while idle, at traffic lights,and has even stop while making a turn into traffic.i have taken it into the dealership who has tried to charge me labor to investigate the problem (thousands) but,ultimatelyclaim that they do not know what the problem is.after research,i have found that their are thousands of owners with my make and model having the same issue.i also found that chrysler's solution is to change the gas tank,which they claim should fix the issue.the dealership changed the tank under their extended warranty and this has not fixed the stalling problem.after doing more research i found that chrysler did a recall on this same stalling issue for the pacifica mini van,but did not include my make and model.the issues are found in 2005-2006 chrysler 300c hemi 5.7l engines.i don't understand how this dangerous issue has gone so long without a recall.someone is going to get seriously injured or killed by stalling while driving in traffic.meanwhile my car still has not been fixed.
While driving vehicle engine cuts off. After purchasing the car and found the problem we looked it up on line and found out chryslers have this problem but we see no recall. This is a very bad safety hazard as the car just stops with no warning in traffic. Replaced a couple sensors and engine control modular. Still has the same problem.
Going around a rotary in everett, mass. The car just shut itself off.
While driving down the road, the car stalled with no signs of issues. This has happened multiple times without any common reason.

After filling up with fuel, the engine stalled shortly after. This has occurred on a regular basis when filling the fuel tank using regular unleaded gas. Several complaints duplicate this occurrence.
After fueling my car to full tank capacity (93 octane as always) i pulled out of the gas station and slowed down to stop at a red light (traveling at less than 10 mph). The engine stalled as i came to a full stop. I placed the transmission in park and re-started the engine. Engine started fine and i drove for about 5 miles with no further issue. Note: check engine light did not come on and all other dash indications were normal.after parking the vehicle i inspected the gas cap and verified that it was secured tight and not loose. Also checked under the fuel tank and engine compartment for anything out of the ordinary. Did not see or smell anything obvious.
Most of the time, the engine will stall at a stop with all gauges dropping to zero.this also happens when the car is moving down the roadway.engine does not start smoothly.most times it takes at least two attempts to start it.sometimes upon restart the gauges remain at zero.upon start, engine will run for a brief time and will run maybe 1 block or so before stalling again. It will run without incident until the next episode.there may be a spread of 3 to 4 weeks between incidents.sometimes the engine speed jumps up without accelerator input making the car leap forward.this has happened once to me.sometimes when the engine is restarted and put into gear, the transmission does not engage immediately, but after a very brief delay causing a "jump" into gear when it does engage.the esp bas light comes on a majority of the time this happens.sometimes the gauges all drop to zero while the car is running.almost always, i can feel in the running of the engine that something is not quite (almost imperceptive missing) right before this happens.i took the car to a chrysler dealership immediately after this happened and asked them to read the codes.they told me many codes had been recorded.
Every time i fill up my chrysler 300c it stalls out several times. The first few times this occurred i was almost killed in a wreck due to the fact it stalled in a major intersection. This is not safe and very frustrating. Chrysler is doing nothing to help. I read several complaints online and it just seems like a recall should be in affect. I trusted chrysler when i purchased this vehicle to provide me with a quality product that they would stand behind but yet they won't. Please help they victims of chrysler.
Vehicle stalled at major intersection shortly after refueling and would not restart and stay running.had to be pushed out of intersection and off roadway by police.no codes appeared.numerous restarts and stalls before car was drivable.brought to mechanic who computer scanned for diagnosis.no codes.problem has now recurred 2 more times immediately after last 2 fill ups.most recent was reentering rte 23s near wayne nj after filling up.car stalled and created a serious hazard for me and passengers trying to avoid rear end collision while pulling to shoulder with no power. Very busy road with 50-60 mph traffic.car would not restart and stay running - requiring 5-7 restart/stalls before it was drivable. Brought to mechanic for diagnosis again. No codes on scanner.very dangerous situation.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while driving any speed or coming to a stop, the engine would stall in a jerking motion. The vehicle restarted and resumed normally. The failure recurred after the vehicle was refueled and most recently, the engine warning indicator remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer numerous times and they were unable to duplicate or locate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
Within a minute or so of refueling, the engine stalled and, consequently, the power steering and power brakes failed. The car would re-start with little difficulty only to stall again very shortly thereafter. Eventually, after perhaps 10 minutes of starts/stalls, and re-starts, operation would return to normal. At the time of the first occurrence, i had no reason to believe that this problem was related to refueling. However, the problem has since recurred with every refueling (at least 4 refuelings so far), resulting in numerous engine stalls in traffic. Apart from these refueling-related incidents the car runs perfectly, and my local mechanic has said that "the car's computer" indicates all systems are normal. A google search on my problem, however, suggests that the problem is extremely common in chrysler 300cs of a similar vintage.
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.
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-guarded decline. Vehicle will stall and surge while in idle as well. I have been able to replicate this issue reliably 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!!!
Tamara recall engine has stopped several times while i have been driving it and some while stopped at a red light.the power steering stops and become difficult to steer and i get afraid until i can fight it and stop and restart the engine.have not taken it in for repair yet.
After refueling my 2006 chrysler 300c it would shut off at highway speed. The car would shut off at a stop light or stop signthis happens only when the car is refueled. This has caused many safety issues because of the oncoming traffic and the car stalling in the intersection.
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.
For the past several months, every time i fill up with gas, my car dies several times before i get home, which is about 5 miles from the gas station. Sometimes it will speed up without me pushing the accelerator just before it dies. It dies before i get out of the gas station, sometimes. Other times it dies as i pull to a stop at the light 1,000 feet from the gas station. The most recent occurrence was 2 days ago. I've had it to the dealership service department twice for this, but they can't find anything wrong. The fill up before this last one, i only filled the tank half full, and it didn't die, so it must be something to do with filling it all the way up. I don't top the tank off, either.
The car stalls at random after a fuel fill up. Eventually it will run normally, however it happens multiple times first and puts me in a dangerous position when it stalls in traffic. I have had both fuel pumps replaced last year and it seemed to help for a while, now the problem is back.
I was turning right at a stop light, immediately following a gas tank fill, when the engine stalled and power steering and brakes failed. The engine continued to stall during deceleration or when stopped for the next 30 miles.
The other day i got off work and drove off fine. I went to the bank and used the drive through because i had pulled in a little to far away from the window i put the car in park and reached out. After my transaction was done, i tried to put the car in drive and it was stuck in park. It would not budge. I googled the problem and found that many many people have had this same issue. The internet suggested pushing a pink override button which i did but it did not work. It stated that there was another button to push if that didn't work but that required taking the whole shift gear apart. None the less, had to call a tow and the guy informed that this was a problem with chrysler 300. I have also had a problem with the car stalling when making right turns?? i have only had this car a year. Low miles when i bought it. I just knew there was a recall on this and to my surprise there is not. So its sitting at the chrysler dealership and i can't imagine what my repair bill is going to be for something that chrysler should fix.
I had just made a left hand turn onto an access road going approximately 35mph.i noticed my car was bucking and seemed to sputter.first the oil light came on followed by the engine light along with all the dashboard lights.once the lights went off, i had lost all power.the steering wheel was very difficult to turn but i managed to turn off onto a side street and get out of traffic. Thankfully i had not yet made it onto the expressway, which by the way was during 5 o'clock rush hour traffic!i sat there for a minute and then tried to restart the car.it started up and was drivable.it still sputtered some on the way home.i am hopeful i can make it back into town and take it to an auto repair shop.my car is a one owner car that my late husband bought for me.i love this car.although it is beginning to have issues and i don't know how much more money i can keep putting into repairs.i have had to have to replace the water pump on two occasions. The latest one was replaced in april, 2013. I have had the module front control & ignition switch both replaced at the dealership @ 83,918 miles 5/31/2013.i have it scheduled for a tune up and fuel injector tune up ironically tomorrow morning before the stalling issue happened.i have felt the car sputter and buck before and i thought it was due for a tune up.however, now i believe this is all together a separate issue.hopefully chrysler will step up to the plate and recall these vehicles to be repaired at no expense to the owner.
Every time vehicle is filled with gas, engine stalls.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. After driving 55 mph and parking the vehicle, it failed to restart. Once the vehicle restarted, the engine idled low and the accelerator pedal had to be depressed in order to keep the engine running. The manufacturer was notified. The contact had the vehicle towed home. The contact received information from the independent mechanic who stated that there was a piece of piston that fractured and was rattling around in the combustion chamber. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 170,342.
Stalled several times while driving after filled up with gas.
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 filling up gas tank has happened a dozen times or more. I have almost been hit on two occassions if the other driver hadn't ran into a ditch we both could have been killed this time. I know it's going to stall after i fill it up. I now get gas close to a large department store with access to there parking lot where i can drive till it finishes it's 3 to 4 times of stalling on fill up. Someone is going to get killed over this issue.
After filling up my gas tank, i encountered numerous stalls while driving.thankfully, it was city driving early in the morning.since then, i have encountered numerous situations where the car has stalled after filling up.i initially thought it was bad gas (i.e. Water in my gas tank), however, i have since varied the fueling stations and brands i use and have seen no effect.it always seems to happen after i fill up, and it seems to go away after the tank has emptied a bit.the latest encounter was yesterday (i filled up two days prior) while i had my family in the car - multiple stalls in mid-day city traffic.and again this morning.the gas tank is still quite full (it shows over "f" on the gauge).i _never_ top off when i fill - i simply wait until the filler turns itself off when filling.i have never seen this problem prior to the first occurrence in mid november of 2012, which i initially (as indicated) wrote off as bad gas due to hurricane sandy (i figured the storm may have caused water in the tanks of gas stations).after hearing about numerous issues on this, i wanted to add my experiences to the growing list.the car in question is a 2006 chrysler 300c srt-8.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact could not start the vehicle. When the vehicle started, it made a loud rattling noise. The contact also noticed white smoke. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 93,000. The vin was not available.
Engine stallshas occurred multiple times.been in shop all 6 times.in there today. Stalled as i was driving at 60 miles per hour. I had no control over steering or anything.just had to coast with emergency flashers on till it came to a stop,i also had just filled with gas each time it has stalled.
I filled up the car with gas and after driving about half a mile the engine stalled while in traffic. The car started and stalled repeatedly five or six times for about four blocks. At a certain point the problem stopped and the car was drivable. I took the car to a nearby auto shop and they found no error codes in the system. After leaving the auto shop the car continued to drive without stalling. Several weeks later i filled up with gas again and the problem repeated itself after driving about half a mile. The engine stalled about five times. It was more difficult to turn the engine over this time but it eventually started and drove fine.
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 butdriving 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 from2000 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 idleerraticallyboth while in park and in drive and at slow speeds.
After refueling, the car stalled while making a left hand turn onto a busy highway. All the engine lights came on. Car was hard to restart. At the next intersection while the car was stopped, it stalled again. This continued to happen intermittently over the years. Had it looked at by chrysler while still under extended warranty, they said they could find nothing wrong. Lately, this has happened every time we put gas inthe car. If driving on the expressway after a fill up, sometimes the car will sputter and temporarily loose acceleration.
Engine stalling after fill up
My husband filled the car with gas and drove it approx. 2 miles to our home.an hour later when i took the car out to go shopping, it hesitated/jerked forward twice as i was making 2 left turns leaving the subdivision.then the engine stalled and would not restart.after calling my husband, he was able to get the car started.he immediately took the car to the dealership and because there were no warning lights, they said they had no way to diagnose the problem.i felt extremely lucky that i was not on a busy street or in traffic when the car stalled.my husband let me know this morning, that the car has stalled several times after he pulls out of the gas station onto the street, when getting fuel.now it is nearly every time he fills the tank with gas and he feels it is getting worse. This is a very dangerous situation! many people are complaining about this same issue online.a recall needs to be issued to repair the problem before people are killed when the car stalls in traffic!
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c.the contact stated the vehicle stalled while driving 65 mph. The check engine light illuminated as a beeping sound was heard while the failure occurred. The dealer replaced the main computer frame however the failure was not corrected. The vehicle continued to stall. The dealer performed a second diagnostic and advised the contact that the motor coils needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available.the failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 135,000.
Going for a 1000 mile trip from saint cloud fl.to pittsburgh pa. I filled up my gas tank . When i pulled out of the station the engine stalled. It stalled twice again a mile away while i was traveling about25 mph. On my trip to pittsburgh the car stalled about 5 separate times all after getting the gas tank filled. Most stalls occurred when stopped but at least twice happened while driving. Called chrysler and got no where. Their suggestion was to take car to a dealer at my own expense. This car has been maintained to a very high standard. Never a scratch , or dents. Always kept covered in garage. It is in immaculate condition. I am shocked about this stalling and chrysler's reply to my asking for their assistance.
Vehicle stalled after refueling.filling the gas tank to full without 'topping off' will cause the car's engine to stall without any prior warning.no dtcs/miles are set.can be restarted with some difficulty.the stall will occur at any engine/vehicle speed and will happen within the first 5 minutes of driving the car after refueling.the problem can be avoided by not filling the tank past 3/4 full.have tested this 'work-around' atthe same gas station & pump.
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.
2006 chrysler 300c - after fueling up got about 1/2mile down the road engine just cut out (not electrical as i didn't loose dash lights) just like the engine stopped for a few seconds and came back on. Thought it was a fluke and kept going and it happened again twice, turned around and took the car home happened a couple more times while trying to get home. Haven't driven the car since and that was 5 days ago.
(11-9-2006) car stalled 4 times in a row. The stalling has continued up to yesterday (9-15-2013).the car would stall at a stop or at freeway speeds and at random times from a few days up to 3 or 4 months. The dealer never had a solution. I have replaced many electrical components recommended by the dealer including the pcm. Before i changed the pcm, i would have to shift into neutral and turn the switch to restart the car.after i replaced the pcm the car will still stall, but then will "kick start" itself if i am going over 25 mph.sometimes the car will stall 2 or 3 times and then run great for a month or 2. It is always random. I have looked into renting a blackbox to install in my car to capture what the problem is, however the dealer says that a recorder for my car doesn't exist.i still drive this car with caution, my wife no longer drives this car which was hers..
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.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300 c.the contact stated while driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning.the vehicle was restarted after several attempts however, the failure recurred sporadically and after refueling.the vehicle was not taken to a dealer.the manufacturer was not notified of the defect.the approximate failure mileage was 117,000.the vin was not available.
The below are inserts from my contact and correspondence with chrysler corporation, and the chrysler dealership i purchased my vehicle from about the issue with stalling after filling with my 2006 chrysler 300 srt8.there is sufficient evidence listed and documented all over the blogs to chrysler corporation?s online forum to indicate that this problem is well known by your organization and the dealerships who service our vehicles, and if you want to really won't to assist me in ensuring that this matter is corrected you can instruct and authorize airpark chrysler jeep to resolved my problem without further delay or the need to continue with further consumer complaints. As i stated above, this issue is well documented and falls on the responsibility of the chrysler corporation and the local dealerships to rectify without all the run-around i am receiving at the moment to get this accomplished. My vehicle needs a new gas tank installed to rectify the problem and you can assist in getting this done by providing that replacement and contacting the dealership that needs to do it.sincerely, subject: chrysler update case#:[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
Trouble with engine stalling. It happens after the car is driven for a whole or filled full with gas. I have been driving several times in the middle of traffic and the car turns off. Sometimes it will immediately restart and other times it takes several attempts to restart it. When it stalls out, the automatic steering also locks up causing the car to be difficult to maneuver. This has occurred several times not just once.... One time was after being on interstate for a couple hours, as soon as we pulled off the car kept cutting off. It has been cared for and is properly maintenance.on some occasions, i have even had to disconnect thebattery to reset the computer for it to start. The problem has become more frequent other the months.
Started stalling after fill up's apx 1 year ago. I do not drive it alot. Apx 55000 miles on it. First thought was due to changing octane but been using for 4 months . Stalls, bucks, surges. Cleared up after apx 5 to 10 min.
The chrysler start with no problem drive around stop park and get out the car. Return in a minute no crank start wait 15 or 20 minute the car will start. This problem accured 2 or 3 times a day after i park. Fuses ok, new starter, new battery, new tranmission nothing display on dishbroad or diagnostic machine several machanic unable to determent the problem no reading the car is ok but car contiue not to crank start i only have less than 50,000 miles after i was told that i needed a new transmission from a bronx new york dealership?
On 8/29, i picked my car up from the dealership for a repair to the body. When i attempted to start the vehicle, it turned over but would not start. After several attempts, i went back inside and made the service manager aware. He came out and after a few tries, it started. They told me they didn't know what was wrong with it but that it seemed to be fine so i could take it. I started the vehicle with no issue and took it to a nearby gas station to fill it up. After filling it up, it would not start. The vehicle was towed back to the dealership. It was at the dealership from 8/29 to 9/26. During that time, the battery was changed, the evap canister was replaced and the gas tank was replaced. When i went to pick the vehicle up on 9/26, it would not start. After several attempts and pumping the gas while turning the ignition, the vehicle started. I am now only able to start the vehicle if the gas pedal an pumped while the key is being turned. The vehicle has also attempted to stall several times since i got it back and doesn't have the power it had when i bought it. I have also smelled gas while driving immediately after accelerating. My check engine light is now on also. The dealer has requested that i bring the vehicle back to them and i fear that it will be there another 4 weeks and return to me in the same or even worse condition!
I'd like to make a formal complaint against chrysler for complete engine failure, without warning, of my 2006 chrysler 300c and respectfully request an investigation into the issue.on 7/17/15, i went into the store with my child, returned to my car and it would not start. The system read, "system ok." smoke blew from the tailpipe.finally it started, but shook violently. Grateful i was not on a highway alone or while driving.i could have been hit had this occurred in traffic.it has cost me $560 (three tows to repair shop #1, chrysler dealership #2 and finally home and a charge from each repair shop to look at and assess the damages (not to mention the cost of the rental cars).end result, "piston #4 damaged, missing large piece of piston top, need to replace engine, estimated cost $8093." the service tech said he'd never seen anything like it. Based on numerous reports of complete engine failure found online while researching the cost of replacement engines at http://www.carcomplaints.com/chrysler/300c/2006/engine/complete_engine_failure.shtml, i now don't believe that at all.chrysler has proven to be untrustworthy.there, the 2006 chrysler 300c has the most overall complaints of complete engine failure. See worst model year graphic at http://www.carcomplaints.com/chrysler/300c/, based on number of customer complaints.it seems the 2006 chrysler 300c engine itself is simply the problem and chances are a new engine too would likely fail. The chrysler dealership said, 'we'd just junk your car' (a fully-loaded 2006 i paid $44k for brand new). Now, with 94000 miles on it, it is junk?there is no explanation for what happened.something is very wrong at chrysler.in 2013, something caused complete battery drain.driver door began falling apart. After filling up, my car stalled in traffic while driving and idle.maintenance gets done at the dealership.
Car stalled multiple times after filling gas tank.has happened on an occasional basis, each time after filling the gas tank.
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
After filling my gas tank, at 1/2 a tank, i pulled away from the pump and the car stalled. After restarting i continued on my way. Every time i slowed down for traffic, or a stop sign, or traffic light, the car stalled. This happened 6-8 times on my way home where the car was parked until the next day. After starting, the engine "spitted, and spurted" on acceleration. It then smoothed out, and ran fine, until this latest incident.also, the last time the car was fueled, it would not accept gas, the hose kept shutting off. Tried another pump, same result, went to another gas station, same result.
Vehicle started randomly shutting off primarily at stops and gradually became more frequent to shutting off while driving and shifting backwards.
I bought my 2006 chrysler 300c brand new & i've been the only owner. It was purchased straight from daimler/chrysler, ordered & built to my selected specifications through chrysler. I set the order in february 2005, it was built & finished 11 nov 2005. This was done while i was finalizing my career in active duty military service & retired. I returned to the u.s. 7 jan 2006 & that's when i saw & picked my then brand new 300c. I fell in love with that car ever since. I truly love this car & to this day still love this car. I've never had any major issues with this car from day one otherthan putting gas in it, very dependable car. In 2007 june i was diagnosed cancer of the bone & blood (multiple myeloma, stage 4). After being hospitalized for apprx. 18 mths, one day while coming from chemo it started to over heat & blowing steam, had it towed to nearest dealer & had to have the fans & the sensors replaced, 1st major problem, then after that it was the shift lever stuck in park, then the "a" frame & control arms, now in nov 2012, after attending my grandmother's funeral, i filled it up @ a gas station & it shut off, would start back up but continued to shut off. There was no check engine light then once i got it started it would sputter, kick, & stall, this was repeated for several miles down the hwy & was fine til i had to fill it up again from then on it continued to do so every fill up. I did receive an indication of the gas cap (replaced) then june 2013 i filled it up as usual & it shut off & it was difficult to restart, i waited& start it again it did so i pulled on to the road, it began to stall, sputter, & buck, as i crept home, i heard a loud crackling sound lost all power, had it towed was told #4 vlv had fell down in the cylinder, after 3 months 2008 5.7l engine put in, problem still exist, evap solenoid, canister, pump, & filter assembly replaced.
Engine failure. No warning lights. Engine felt like it was running on less the 8 cylinders. I pulled into the first gas station to shut the car off and check all fluid levels (all fine). Started the motor, would not idle and died. Turned the key again and heard the motor completely clunk around out of sync. That was the end of my 2006 300c
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.
After filling the gas tank to full, stopping after the pump clicks off the first time, the vehicle stalled after running for around 5 minutes. Restarted vehicle and same thing happened two more times. Vehicle continuesto do this regularly.
The first time i had this problem, i filled up my car after a trip, and upon leaving the gas station my engine stalled and the car would not come back on. I could not get the car to crank and when the engine did come on once the rpms would not settle and they kept dipping to almost zero before the engine cut off. I had the car towed to a repair shop where they were unable to fix the issue. I've had this happen about five times and i finally had one repair shop tell me to not fill my gas tank up all the way and it should prevent the cut offs.i then failed an emissions test and had to have my gas cap replaced. I thought that this had solved the problem so i tried to fill the tank up all the way again and it immediately cut off after starting it up. I was able to rev the engine and use up some of the gas and managed to get the car home with the rpms constantly dipping almost to zero. The car cut out at a stop light and i then had to get it started again after sitting in the intersection stalled.i've had my car inspected by two chrysler dealers, a few independent repair shops, and also a nissan dealer where i know the head mechanic. The only answers i've gotten were that it is a faulty o2 sensor and needs a new gas tank.
My 2006 chrysler 300c stalls at stop lights. Going 30 miles and higher the tac will drop to zero and with in seconds the car will jerk and it's running again. When the car dies all the dash lights flash off and on, the check engine light, the lighting bolt, all of them and when it's done doing this. The check engine isn't on. So you can't get a code to read. Dec. 28 2020 my wife went to the store and she had our grand daughter in the car. She went to make a left into the shopping center when the car died. The on coming car had to serve to keep from hitting her. I've been to the dealer and they can't figure it out. Been to three mechcanics and they can't figure out the problem. If you go to any chrysler 300c forums, there are a lot of people having the same problem. They have the same answer dealers and mechcanics don't know what the problem is. Car complaints has 45 complaints alone.this is very serious. If it hasn't happened yet, it will. This problem is going to get someone killed or hurt real bad.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. When the contact attempted to start the ignition, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who stated that the engine piston exploded and extensively damaged the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 84,320.
I was pulling into a parking lot when my car stalled . I was able to restart and continue. But this happened again about a week later . After that i drove it for about a month and half , no problem ! i read a lot of the complaints and several people indicated that it happens when they refill. Well i kind of agree with that. Now its 11/01/13 and today i turned right into a parking lot and it stalled that was on friday. Since then it has stalled several times but restarts ! i took it to the chrysler to dealer on monday. $700.00 at end of day , was told the pc needed to be updated. And needed a tuneup.. Tue it stalled again. Problem not solved. Well today 11/05/13 its at dealer again. They don't know what's wrong with it. I love this car and i have taken very good care of it, its like new.help?????
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.
My 2006 chrysler 300c srt8 6.1l engine stalls randomly when stopped, coming to a stop or cruising speed. Sometimes it'll take months for reoccurrence then out of nowhere it happens while, engine stalled. Happens while make a turn at a light also. Starts back up and sometimes stalls instantly. After like the third stall check engine light comes on and the only fault code is p0700. Bought the car in 2015 and less than two months later is when i experienced my first occurrence. Took it to the dealership three times that year and they said they could not duplicate the problem or figure out what's wrong. About five months later (2016) it happens again, engine stalls out of nowhere on the freeway. This time it wouldn't start so i had it towed back to the dealership. After two months of them having my car they said it was the transmission control module so i agreed to replace it. Two months later same thing again so obviously the transmission control module wasn't the problem. Might i add that randomly while driving there is a hard "buck" from the transmission, like it wants to lock up. I've been in and out of the dealership with this problem for two years now and chrysler claims to not know what the problem is. I am terrified every time i'm in this vehicle. I feel it is an accident waiting to happen. I'm still paying for this car but need to know what the issue is and how to solve it. Dealership says there is no recalls or updates available for my car.
Hello,i am a current chrysler vehicle owner and ive been having issues where my 2006 chrysler 300c srt8 which just shuts off without any warnings or trouble codes reported to the cars computer. There are times when im driving on a busy highway and the car will just stall out. Each time i take my car to the auto mechanics, they arent able to identify anything wrong as there arent any codes detected. My vehicle even stalled while at the mechanics shop and they still werent able to assist as no codes were triggered. Over the past 2 years, ive spent thousands of dollars and countless hours, stuck on major highs as well as replacing car components in a big effort of trying to resolve this concern. To date, i am still experiencing these anxieties. Ive been out on relative web sites looking this problem up and it appears this has been happening to thousands of chrysler srt/srt8 owners and they are dealing with same concerns that i am.im including a url link to one of the blog of 10+ pages of complaints from owners who are lost, confused and dont know what to do.http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-47313.html one of the major reasons why i am asking for some assistance is both awareness to the general public, as there could be serious accidents as a result. Another reason is a proactive effort at hoping to get assistance to get feedback from chrysler to help resolve these concerns.
After filling the fuel tank with gas and entering the freeway the car stalled.every time i fill the car up with gas the fuel tank will just stall.i took the car to the dealer and was told that i would have to have the fuel tank and lines replaced.this is a serious safety hazard.when the car shuts off the steering wheel locks up and you must come to a complete stop before putting the car in park to restart it; all while trying not to be rear-ended by coming traffic.i continue to have the problem today.i took my car in for maintenance and was told that there's now a recall on the fuel tank, but due to the massive number of recalls, the part is on back-order.
We were driving cross country from michigan to texas on the highway. We were in the middle lane going 65 miles per hour. The car stalled and it wouldn't start up again. My husband couldn't control the car. He put the flashers on. Fortunately no one hit us. Cars started driving around us. He was finally able to start the car. We had the kids in the car and it felt like we were stalled forever. We were afraid for the rest of the 2 day drive. I went straight to the chrysler dealership the next day after getting back from the trip. They checked the car and said that they couldn't get the car to stall, so they said they couldn't do anything.it had stalled again the following year.
The engine shut off completely while driving. This caused a total loss in power steering, head lights, and anti-lock brakes. Fortunately i was on a well lit road with a long straightaway and able to muscle the car to a safe stop. Had i been a few miles farther down the road i would have been on a winding road with no street lights. It would have certainly caused a major accident.i took the car into a mechanic and they found nothing wrong with it.
It dropped the #7 valve seat and never overheated. The vehicle ran fine, until i got back in the next day and started it. It immediately happened at that time. This is a common problem with this engine, and to fix costs upwards of $8000.
In january 2013 i needed a jump due to the frigid temperature. Following the jump my engine light would blink on and off occasionally. When i went to the dealership for a routine oil change on february 17, 2014 i explained this to the technician who stated that there was nothing the dealership could do if the engine light was not on at that time. Two days later on february 19th, i called the dealership to confirm what the technical told me was correct. The service manager stated that the technician gave me the correct information and that when my engine light came back on to come back so that they could diagnose the problem at the time. I also informed him that my receipt stated that i declined repairs which i did not. He stated that the language on the receipt was for general repairs and that i did not have to worry about it. On march 1, 2014 my car was smoking profusely. Because the dealership was closed i had my car put on a diagnostic machine by another repair facility who stated that my engine was locked.
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 theywould pass it to the technical department and then get back to me (case # [xxx]).i again contacted chrysler at 800 992 1997 on feb 20, 2014 and they said they knew nothing about the problem(case # [xxx] 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.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After filling the car with gas, the car starts without any issues and drives off without any problems. As the car slows down whether stopping or turning the car will shut off. In the middle of a turn the car veers into the other lane because there is no power steering. The car has to stopped before it can be restarted. Also if you are entering the interstate after refilling with fuel, the vehicle will reach the desired speed without any problems to merge into traffic, after merging into traffic as soon the desired speed is reach and the motor slows, the car motor will shut off in traffic. This scenario will continue until some gas is burned out of the gas tank. Afterwards the cars runs fine.i took the car to the chrysler dealership several times and they could not find anything wrong. They did not charge me for the inspection because they could find anything wrong.
In january i filed a safety complaint on this web site regarding the stalling of my chrysler 300c after filling the gas tank (odi # 10561779).over the last two and a half months the problem has persisted, with the only way to avoid the problem was to only fill the gas tank to 3/4 full. On 2/24/14 i saw the abc news report that stated "us ends probe of chrysler engine stalling" and the article states they investigated 1200 complaints and found 299 in which the fuel system allowed the gas tank to be over-filled.it also stated that "chrysler updated the part in new cars and guaranteed it for life in cars now on the road."when my chrysler dealer (who has been taking care of my chrysler since i bought it there new in 2/2006) was contacted, he stated that only certain vin numbers were being covered.he told me i could call chrysler and speak to them.i called the 1-800-992-1997 chrysler customer service this morning.i explained about the stalling and that i had filed a complain back in december 2013 regarding the consistent stalling when the tank is filled. I explained my chrysler dealer stated my car was not on their list, and to call chrysler.the representative informed me that they were only fixing certain cars and mine was not one of them and that i could take it to the dealer and pay to have it fixed. When i asked if it turned out to be the exact same part that was being replaced, would they cover it, i was informed they would not. I am unsure what factors guided chrysler on which cars to fix, but it appears that they have left out at least my car which has exactly the same described problem i have seen on the complaint web site.
The engine stalled as i was approaching an intersection with a red light and would not start back up. The dealer diagnosed it as valve seat failure with no compression in one cylinder, of which i have found many similar complaints on the internet. They and several other mechanics suggested that the only way to go forward was to completely replace the engine. At 7 years old the car is no longer functional, but the fact that the engine died while i was driving it could have been very dangerous. While gm is recalling cars for stalling, their cause was much more minor and they finally acknowledged it - chrysler refuses to acknowledge it and i constantly hear from the dealer about how they've never heard of that happening before when even their mechanics acknowledge it happens a lot.
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 don't 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 don't have this problem.on my way to work today, the car stalled out 4 times at 4 different lights.
The engine abruptly stalls shutting down power steering and brakes while in traffic and oil pressure is reading 0. Turn ignition switch off and car restarts perfectly with nl oil pressures. This has happened twice nearly causing accidents. Would probably be fatal if on interstate. There is absolutely no warning. There was also no error codes stored in the cars computer.
Engine stalls at least once after refueling. The dealer replaced the fuel-line purge valve last year,but it didn't fix the problem. I was told on several occasions that it was bad gas that was causing the problem, but i've tried using several brands of fuel without any luck. I don't drive the vehicle that much, but i have had a few near accidents because the engine accelerates before shutting off.
Engine stalls at slow speed and at idle also miss fires at speed after refueling gas tank. It continues until a gal. Or so of fuel is consumed .
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled without any warnings. The contact mentioned that the failure recently started to occur after refueling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that they would contact him at a later date. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 193 and the current mileage was 36,000.
Purchased a 2006 300c srt8 in 2014.this is the 2nd time that this has happened. After the 1st refueling the car stalled and bucked and then after a few miles calmed down. I thought perhaps it was bad gas.during the 2nd refueling, with 93 octane, and just as the fuel clicked off, the engine stalled. No check engine light in either situation. The car was worse than the last time. The car stalled at each light all the way home. This happened approximately 4 times and then it stalled again as i parked it in my driveway.i called the local dealer concerning this and they said they are only ordering 6 replacement gas tanks a month and that 95% of the time an additional flex pipe or tube breaks during the repair procedure and that i would be responsible for this additional cost.what kind of a deal is that?i thought warranty work was to be at no cost to the consumer.
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 frequentlyi 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.
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.
If vehicle is filled up with gas until full car will stall shortly after fill-up.
I have had constant issues with the control arms, tie rods, and the door handles are all broken. I had to replace my radiator twice now. I love my car, but i am highly disappointed with the costs that i have had with this car. The radiator issues have come while the car was in motion. My engine died without warning while i was driving. I never had any warnings prior to the motor blowing. I have regular maintenance done to my car, buta new engine, 2 radiators, tie rods, and control arm repairs/changes seem to be the continuum for my car. The door handles are cosmetic and have not been repaired. I have records from my dealership and another place i entrust with my vehicle.
I've been having a problem with my car stalling after i fill up at the gas station for a few years now. I read that chrysler was not recalling for this reason so i just read forums and tried not to fill up my gas tank but sometimes i forget and the problem continues.
I was driving one day my chrysler 300 c 5.7 hemi shut off in the middle of the freeway i pulled over to the side of the road car coasted cause everything shut off i put it in park tried to restart car wouldn't start did it a few times car started and died idled rough felt like i was running outa gas would stay at the right roma keep stalling out so i gave it gas and car stopped shaking and ran fine a month later did the same thing this time check engine light came on and said random multi misfire all cylinders i spent 1800 replacing the coil packs plugs and still didn't fix it turns out the valve seat dropped and chewed one piston up all too heckneeds a new motor only had the car for $ months has 112,000 miles on it don't have the money for new motor cars just sitting with head off and valve seat is gone
Catastrophic engine failure upon vehicle start.engine threw a connecting rod due to connecting rod bearing failure.this mechanical failure resulted in complete loss of mobility and power.were this to happen in motion it would result in loss of propulsion, brakes and steering, presenting an immediate safety hazard to the driver of the vehicle and other drivers in the immediate vicinity.this defect has been acknowledged by both the dealer reps and various independent mechanics leading to the belief that this problem is widespread, and is becoming more apparent as this flawed mechanical component / design reaches the end of its life expectancy.strongly request further investigation or correlation of similar incidents / complaints.
Driving home from work on interstate and the car lunged and then seemed to be fine, until getting off the interstate and stopping at the light it was very obvious it was missing out. It did not throw a engine code until pulling into driveway. I immediately did a scan and came up with a p1414 cylinder 4 reactivation control performancepossible causes(k452) mds solenoid no.4 control short to voltageoil passages restrictedliftermds solenoid no.4pcmwe then took to dealership and they charged me a 125.00 to tell me what i already told them. And followed up with they wanted to charge me 600.00 to tear it down and inspect it further. So i did the tear down myself and there is nothing that can be found to explain why a car with only 92000 miles on it and 5-20 royal purple oil and k&n oil filter were changed on a religious bases, and clean coolant would cause a piston to basically destroy itself. The motor has to be replaced costing over $6000 almost more then car is worth running.
When i refuel the car at any gas station, it usually stalls a few minutes later when i am driving.at first, i thought it was the gas quality, but i have tried premium fuel from all major brands, and each time i fill up the car, their is a 90% chance that it will stall two or three times in the middle of the road.the rpms just drop and the car stalls.i have not had an accident, yet, but this is a major problem which can cause an accident..
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.
My car has been displaying erratic behavior for aboutthe last seven months. The more recent problem i've experienced is that my car shuts off at a complete stop and sometimes as i'm braking to come to a stop at a light and power steering locks up as it shuts off. I feel this is extremely unsafe being i've dodged a few accidents already because of this issue. What if i'm at a light and getting ready to turn or make a u turn and it shuts off in on coming traffic, or if i'm on the highway and i have to suddenly brake and it shuts off at high speeds. I'm not sure what can be done but i hope i can get help some way, some how. I feel my life depends on it.
I had just refueled (filled up - did not continue fueling after the pump auto-stopped) and continued driving to my destination (about 3-5 minutes). I had just completed a left turn, approaching a red light, so i was "coasting" at about 15 mph when the engine died. Luckily, i was beside of a vacant parking lot and was able to veer into the lot and off the highway. However, in doing so, i noticed that i had lost steering capabilities and it was very difficult to steer the car off the highway. It was a good thing i wasn't driving at a higher speed and going around a curve, because i would've surely wrecked. The instrument panel was still lit up (compass, odometer, radio station, etc), but the engine light came on. After stopping, i placed it in park, turned off the switch and restarted the car. There was some hesitation, but it did start. Continuing to my destination, i could occasionally feel the car "sputtering" or hesitating like it wanted to shut down again, but it did not happen again before i made it home. However, on my way to work this morning and before i left my driveway, the car acted like it wanted to die again. I had backed out of my garage and put it in drive, slightly pressed the accelerator and it "sputtered". It continued "sputtering" periodically on my way to work (6-8 minute drive). I am really becoming very nervous about driving our country roads, in fear that it will shut down and i will lose the ability to maneuver the car to safety until i can regain power.
After refueling, car stalls. This happens after driving approximately 2 to 3 minutes after leaving gas station. The stall has taken place at intersections,while at a complete stop and while driving no more than 5 -10mph after leaving the gas station.. Car restarts after several attempts in neutral. When each incident occurs, the oil icon comes on, however the oil level is not low. On one occasion after having backed into a parking space with the car gear shift still in reverse and my foot on the brake, the car lurched. The tires could be heard spinning. That was very scary because my car could have rolled into a busy highway. Once the fuel level indicates approximately a half a tank, no stalling incidents take place. Car was taken to the dealership with this concerned.service advisor was aware of chyrsler 300c stalls after refueling.fuel injection system was serviced/cleaned. This has not resolved the problem.car still stalling.really afraid to drive the car, however i am taking it back to the dealership to let them know of the still ongoing problem.
The contact 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.
On april 9th at approximately 6:00 p.m. I filled my car with fuel until the pump shut off.after replacing the fuel lid i drove about 1/4 mile and stopped at a traffic light to make a left turn.almost as soon as i stopped the engine started to run rough, as if it were running out of fuel and stopped.i placed the car in neutral, started the engine and drove another block before stopping at another traffic signal.again, the engine sputtered and stopped.i got it started and reached park manor nursing home and shut the engine off while i went to visit.when i left the nursing home, i went down the driveway and about 1/8 mile to a 5 lane intersection that had a traffic signal.the engine sputtered and stopped again just as the light turned green.i had to quickly put the car in neutral to restart it then carefully let off the gas pedal enough to put the gear shift back in "d" and drive away.this was the first time i experienced any engine stops, but it seems to be pretty dangerous, since you cannot predict when it will happen and nothing seemed to trigger the faults.each time the engine stopped, i noticed the oil pressure indicator was displayed and watched it rise to normal when the engine started again.
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 wasn't 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 that's 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 was driving at 70mph 2:30 am on the highway at night right before a curve the headlights shut off due to the main computer 'tpim'.in essence it kills all auto features immediately including the headlights.it's a common problem with these cars just look on some of the forms online. I'm upset because my wife could have been driving the car at the time. Chrysler should be held accountable sense it's an issue with this car in general. They also have issues with the lifters due to the poor quality of the lifters rollers and the mds system.
After filling the vehicle with fuel (not topping off the tank) the car stalled upon leaving the gas station.i was able to restart it after several times but the risk is incredible!the car stalls without warning as traffic was all around me honking and i was nearly being hit from behind!!once was a fluke i thought and maybe bad gas.i was able to carefully navigate on back streets to the house and never had the problem again until the next fill up.again i had the stalling problem, lucky for me i had picked a light traffic time to fill up.i switched gas stations after that an now only get gas at shell stations hearing that they had the best gas quality overall.the problem has continued since then every time i fill the tank full.the stalling problem seems to be occurring now two needle widths below the full mark which means something is getting worse.the local chrysler dealership says that there is no recall and the fix is to replace the gas tank due to a faulty value at the top of the tank.the cost is $1,315.the risk of getting hit from behind at any speed is incredible and very real!!i believe chrysler should replace the faulty tanks.
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.
My 2006 chrysler 300c was a car that was well taken care of. It had less than 90,000 miles at the date of the incident. I was in a drive-thru and i turned off the car to save fuel. When i went to restart the vehicle, the car made a loud grinding noise that sound similar to sticking a baseball card in bicycle spokes but much louder and stronger. I had the car towed to chuck clancy chrysler and i was informed that a valve seat had dropped and destroyed several cylinders. The bill was $3,000. This car was always maintained by maintenance records and the oil changed with pennzoil platinum ultra. To add to this story, i received the car back and the same issue happened again two weeks later. Needless to say, i was out another $4000 for this repair. Chrysler refused to cover it and gave me the cold shoulder. I would never purchase a chrysler product again.
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.
Car overheated and i shut it off. Tried to start it after it cooled down and it would not start. Checked cylinders for compression and found 6 with o compression so seems to be a valve seat failure.
My 300c 2006 engine shuts off. Sitting at a light or driving. Dealer had it, spent 1800.00. They did not fix. Have it at a garage. They have replaced most sensors. Just spent 390 dollars on a new controller board (brain) its now more frequent. Started happening 2 years ago but not this frequent. Did a coolant flush, transmission flush,
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle staled without warning. The vehicle was restarted and operated normally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the cause of the failure was unable to be determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000. The vin was not available.
I was getting off work. Stopped by my barbershop to get a haircut, than planned on heading home. But i received a phone call from my wife to pick up a few things before i got home. I was in the store for about 15 minutes. The was running great. No over heating issue or nothing. Temp gauge was at it normal operation temp. I'm out of the store in the car trying to start it up. But getting nothing. But when it does start i hear alot of engine noise. So i shut it down and have it towed to my home. Had a friend of mines who works on cars come check it out. Than he tells me i need a new motor dueto valve seat had dropped.
After refueling, my car suddenly stalled as my children and i were leaving the gas station.i was able to restart the car and continue driving.as i was driving, the car started losing acceleration and would "jump" around.the check engine light and eps light came on.i pulled over,turned the car off, and manually turned the eps light off.the car started, the eps light went off, but on occasion on it would lose power.the check engine light has been on ever since.i took the car to the dealership the next day and i have been told that the crankshaft sensor needs replacing but can't guarantee that is what's wrong with the car since he keeps getting different codes each time he does diagnostic.
The check engine light of this cars constantly stayed on after countless attemps to "fix" the problem for years. Finally the engine just died.it was serviced repeatedly, with tune ups, spark plug changes, but the engine always misfired shorlty after.the car is just 10 years old.there should never be a problem like this on a high quality vehicle.
My car will stall at any time. On the freeway and in town.it has no warnings.i have been almost rear ended honked and stuck in a traffic jams.i am scared to drive it anywhere.its had new gas tank, new computer, throttle sensor egr valve and has no codes to go by to fix it.its been at the dealership where i bought it and they keep wanting more money to try and fix it while just guessing.different mechanics have driven it home and it stalls on them but they still can't figure it out. Its been at the dealership for almost 2 weeks.
After filling the gas tank full i drove the car 1-2 miles and stopped at a traffic light and when i went to accelerate to go forward the engine completely died. I coasted to a stop just past the intersection and was able to re-start it. The same thing happened about a mile further down the road only this time i was not stopped, but driving and accelerating and it died and i was forced to coast to a stop and restart the engine. The problem continued for several days and then stopped. It happened again the next time i filled the gas tank up with very similar issues, and again stopped after the gas tank had used several gallons of fuel. I took it to the dealer and was informed that they would have to replace the gas tank (at a cost of $1600). The technician then told me that if i kept the gas tank at 75% full and not completely fill it i would have no problems. He was right, since these events in december of 2012 i have only filled it to 75% full and have had no problems. I am reporting this because i read in the dallas morning newson 05/16/2013 that this model of chrysler is being investigated for the problem i have told you of. The description/symptoms listed in the news release seemed to match mine and i am therefore reporting it.
Pulled out of gas station after refueling into heavy rush hour traffic, car stalled while turning making it very difficult to steer (if my wife had been driving she would not have been able to steer). Managed to put car in neutral and coast into medium. Put car in park and restarted car, pulled out into traffic and car stalled again. This time i put car in neutral and restarted while coasting. No more problems on this trip.had the same problem 3 weeks later, pulled up to stop sign after refueling and car stalled. I put car in park and restarted, drove approximately 3/4 mile and entered stop and go traffic on freeway. Car stalled 5-6 times within 1 mile, each time i put car in neutral and restarted. Several times i was able to prevent a stall by watching the tach for signs of rpm dropping then putting car in neutral and pushing the gas pedal.
After you get gas in the car and drive away the car will stall and then you have to put it in park and restart your engine.this can be dangerous, especially if you are in moving traffic at the time.
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.
The car chime will chime, the engine acts like it wants to stall, losing power for about 3 seconds, then it's fine. I received a sort of recall from chrysler about the problem, i called the dealership in raynham, ma., the first week of feb., 2015. I was told it would take about 2 weeks for the part. It has now been 9 weeks, and i'm told they are still waiting for 5 orders on this problem. I have had the car stall out, while driving in 35 mph traffic, very dangerous! it doesn't appear to me that chrysler is taking the letter i received stating they came to agreement with nhtsa to seriously!!!
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 stoplightthe 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.
After filling up with gas, the engine has stalled without any warning, at very low speed limit, this occurred three times, after a few gallons of gas were used the problem went away. This particular incident has happened on three separate times before.i am concerned i could be involved in rear end accident if the engine stalls in traffic.
The car stalls randomly.there seem to be two scenarios when the stalls occur.one scenario is at idle (less than 1000 rpm).the car will just stall at a red light, at a stop sign, a rolling stop, when driving at very low speeds, etc.the other scenario is at wot.all the dash light s flash on and off quickly, the car lurches violently, loss of power, occasional stall.these two situations may or not be related to each other.i have had the fuel tank replaced already because of the stalling that was occurring after fuel fill up.that took care of that specific stalling scenario.there still remain these two stalling scenarios.they are very well documented in the online forums.many drivers are experiencing the same symptoms.it seems to be happening to all 5.7 and 6.1 hemis in the 300s, chargers, challengers and jeeps.no dealers can find a definitive solution.i and many others love our cars, but this is just unacceptable.we don't want to give up on chrysler, we just want a solution.this is a very dangerous situation.our cars are stalling randomly.this is similar to the gm stalling debacle.please help us prevent a chrysler/dodge/jeep debacle.by the way, thank you for your work in helping to find a solution on the fuel fill stalling issue.the lifetime fuel tank replacement was an adequate solution.i must note to you that included in the fix was a statement saying that "this did not represent a dangerous or life-threatening situation."i disagree 100%.i almost died a few times due to the random stalling after fuel fill.we all know the dangers of random stalling - just ask gm car owners.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while reversing, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was taken to bud clary auburn chrysler dodge jeep ram (2925 auburn way n, auburn, wa 98002) where the contact was informed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 155,000.
Filled up the car with gas drove down the road then the engine died did it twice to me.
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 tofill 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.http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-chrysler-engine-stalls-20130514-story.html.
I have had this car for 7 years, never had an issue. On february 23,2014 i went to shell and filled up the car with $49.00. I do not remember if i ever filled the car up before. I'm sure i have but i usually put 20/30 bucks in. But i just found out about stop n shop gas savings and received a discount. I tried to put 50 in but it only took 49.00. I got back in the car and i tried to pull away from the pump and it shut down. I thought maybe it was a fluke since i was basically at a roll. I drove 2 blocks and at the traffic light it died. I proceeded to make a u-turn to return home. The car died 3 times in a 5 block span. I took the car to my cousin who had a computer, no codes came up but the car shut down twice. I parked the car and took out a different car. My cousin thought it was bad gas or a bad oil change which i had done on feb 22, 2014 i just returned home and googled,"chrysler 300c stalling" and found the article that this has been occurring, and here i am. I guess i will contact chrysler in the morning.
Last month, i filled my 300c with mid grade gas, which is what i have always used since i bought it new in 2006, and then directly entered the turnpike. Travel speed was 70 mph.approximately 1 hour later, exited into a turnpike plaza. There is a left hand turn into the parking area about 500 feet after you exit the highway.as i slowed then coasted around the turn, the engine stalled and the oil light came on.i coasted a short distance until i stopped.i was able to get the car started again, after several tries.this was the first time this had ever happened.i had bought gas and entered the turnpike at that same location many times in the past. I had no further problems getting home.however, last week, i filled up tank and exited my local gas station, which sits on the corner of a main road and a side street. As i turned to get on the side road, the street light turned red, as i slowed to stop, the engine died. I got the car restarted and when the light turned green i stated to go and it stalled again.i got it started drove the 2 miles home and as i pulled into my housing development it stalled a third time.i am not sure what is happening in the engine.this car has had all its maintenance performed at the dealer, including oil changes and has been a great car.i have never had any problems before these stallings started happening.
Driving down road car engine will cut out may restart some times , or stall and have to restartmanually,check engine light came on took to local dealership put on computersaid that it just sent basic code have had car for over 3 month returned car said there was nothing wrongnext day driving car did same thing 4 times moreon me engine light on again said same codenow have had car for another month saying that they can not duplicate problem.
After returning home from work, i noticed a knocking/grinding sound coming from my engine. I have taken the car to a chrysler dealer and they told me that there is internal engine damage, most likely the lifter push rod part of the engine. I was informed by chrysler customer service that there were some vehicles of this class that had been covered under a recall for the lifter problem, but that the recall was vin specific. When i asked how the determination was made as to which vehicles were covered and how the coverage was extended, i could not get a answer. It is not right that a vehicle of the same class as mine is subject to a recall and my vehicle was not. Neither do i understand why i could not be told by chrysler if they had attempted to contact the owner of the vehicle at the time the recall took place. That in order that when the vehicle was sold, that pertinent information could be transmitted during the sale. Absent this information, whom do i as a buyer, unknowning place responsibility?
I was driving the car from work i made a left turn onto the street that leads me to my house the vehicle stopped i tried to make it start back up nothing happened. I called the tow place to have it towed to chrysler they took a look at it the next day saying the engine has seized it needs a new engine.
While trying to merge on the freeway the motor stalled and made a rolling drumming not a high pitch noise wouldn't re start towed it home got it started and the engine is making a loud squeak noise it won't idle on its own and it stalls when put into gear.
After a fill-up (not topped off)on august 5, 2013 as i merged onto the freeway the engine stalled and there was a complete loss of power. I was extremely frightened because my grandson was in the back in his carseat and it was peak traffic time.additionally without power i was having a hard time maneuvering the car to the side of the freeway to a spot where there was enough room to stop.i was able to restart the engine but the engine was not running smoothly.at the first off ramp i pulled off the fwy but the engine kept stalling whenever i had to slow down or at a stoplight. This was another safety issue for my grandson and me.it was a miracle that we were not involved in an accident.when i took the car to a chrysler service center the outcome was that they could not recreate the problem.the next morning i received a call from a service rep and was told that he researched the problem and that the gas tank needed to be replaced.i asked if chrysler took ownership of this problem and was told no'.for overall safety i had the tank replaced. ($1200.00)i also contacted chrysler corp to relate the engine stall incident so that they would be aware and investigate for safetys sake.essentially i was told that chrysler was not aware of any other complaints and they would not accept responsibility for the need to replace the fuel tank.i first experienced an engine stall after a fill up on october 12, 2012.i had the car towed to the chrysler service center and after checking the car the invoice stated road test vehicle, did not die at stops or while driving, no codes in pcm.transmission fluid, engine oil full.there was limited driving of the car. My vin is not covered under the recent extended warranty even though i have the same problem as other car owners. Chrysler needs to accept full ownership before there is a serious accident.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling the fuel tank, the vehicle engine turns off and on intermittently. The dealer cedar city chrysler dodge jeep ram (1010 n main st, cedar city, utah 84721) stated that the vehicle was not on the recall list. The manufacturer was also contacted and was unable to provide any further assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 94,500.
The engine will stall after every fill-up.it stalls within 15 seconds after starting it up at the gas station.it will then stall repeatedly at intersections and every time the car comes to a stop.in addition, it has stalled while making right hand turns and misfires and stumbles while at speed.the stalling/misfiring episodes do not occur once 2-3 gallons of gas have been consumed.this situation is extremely dangerous as i have been nearly rear ended as traffic started to pull away from a green light, and also stalled at intersections while making right turns.the chrysler dealer said nothing was wrong since they didn't find any codes or tsb's regarding this problem.i have taken the car to an independent garage and they found a lot of chatter on their mechanic help websites.they think it might be the emission control that sits on top of the gas tank.the top gas in the tank is flooding over to the engine and stalling it out. Since chrysler nor anyone else can say what definitively is going on i have cautiously not been filling the tank.this car is dangerous since the next owner may not be aware of this issue.
After filling the gas tank the vehicle stalls periodically.the issue has become worst over time.the last time my son was driving with me in the car and stall in the middle of the highway.he was 16 and still in the learning stage of driving.the time before we were pulling out of a gas station as we were entering traffic the engine stalled.lucky we were not involve in an incident.
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, andfailure has increased in frequency and now occurs regularly but sporadically at low speedsof 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.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while at a traffic stop,the check engine warning light illuminated as the vehicle stalled. The failure recurred numerous times and while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis and the contact was informed that there was a possible pcm failure. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact to have the vehicle examined by the dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that all of the parts that caused the check engine warning light to illuminate would need to be replaced before the pcm could be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 63,500.
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.
Shut off at anytime, like driving slow and everytime i hit the corner of my block same spot always shut off .once in the freeway was scarry also motor would shake,one day drive good next would be bad,took it to many places no one can pin point problem, spent lots of money in parts and never got problem fixed until moter gave out with cylinder damage at 90000 miles .always keep it maintenance good disapointed would not buy chrysler anymore before this had a new yorker that cought on fire electrical issue
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.
I was picking my son up from school, when i try to start the car. The car wouldn't kick over, the engine was shaking and running extremely rough once i did get it started, to make a long story short, a valve went through the engine block causing total engine failure. A new engine block was needed (jaspers) at the cost of over $6000. I contacted chryslers cooperate office, and was told that there's no recall on the engine, and being that the warranty expired there was nothing they can do, i was just stuck with a useless car with a blown engine. I think that this is so pitiful for a multi billion dollar company to stick all of these chrysler/dodge owners withvehicles with known engine problems!. Just look on this site, or just google chrysler 300/c & dodge engine problems, you'll find 100's, if not 1000's of chrysler/dodge owners with the same type of engine failure. Shame on chrysler!. I know that putting a recall on all of these engines would be a very costly thing to do, however it's the right thing to do!....shame on chrysler!. I would never buy a dodge/chrysler vehicle again!....
After filling my gasoline tank and driving away the engine quit running while driving down the city street or highway.while still rolling forward i put the car in neutral and attempted to restart the engine.i always succeeded in restarting the car while it was rolling forward.however, the stalling would repeat itself two to three more times before the car stopped doing this.i reported this to my dealership who said they knew nothing about this problem and had no solutions.after months of repeated experiencing this problem i started to fill my tank only to about 3/4th full and the stalling was solved.however, after hitting some rough road after a 3/4th filling (the gasoline got sloshed about, i am sure),the engine stalled on me.on june 12, 2012 i asked the dealership, overland park jeep, chrysler, dodge, in overland park, ks to start replacing gasoline tank parts. They installed a 4891427ab detector-natural vacuum detecti....., a solenoid-proportional purge and a canister-vapor. (their invoice #429537).this did not solve the stalling problem.on march 26, 2013 i finally gave up on the problem and asked opjcd to replace the saddle-bag gasoline tanks.their invoice 452851 covered the installation of a 68051891 aa tank-fuel, o-ring-fuel pump and level unit.with three complete gasoline tank fill up's i have had no problems with stalling.i am writing to you after reading, in this mornings newspaper, about similar problems being looked into by your agency and i wanted to report what happened to me and what i did about it.opjcd service man told me they would reimburse me for my expenses if a recall was made on my car.i paid a total of $1,453.90 to get my 2006 chrysler 300c, i hope, fixed.thank you.
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.
My chrysler 300c hemi started idling rough and showing code p0300.oil/plugs were changed, and my car worked well for ~500 miles. After which the low oil level light chimmed. After taking to the dealer the oil pressure switch was replaced and all was right.close to a month later, while stopped at a rail crossing the car stalled with error code p1520.i checked the oil which was low and added to the correct level.in the oil, there was no discoloration or anything to cause alarm.i started the engine up and while the p1520 was gone i had the p0300.after removing the manifold small aluminum pieces where found inside. Plugs that were close to 4k miles old were ash covered and throttle body.valves and cylinder #3 head need to be replaced.
After refueling tank i drove away from the pumps and onto the roadway, during acceleration to speed limit (50mph), at 25mph the engine stalled, with traffic quickly approaching i might add, and left me coasting. I was able to pull off to the side of the road thankfully, at which time i had to attempt a restart 3 times before it did start, when it started i had no issues for a few months. This exact situation happened to me every other month for a year until i learned to not fuel the vehicle to the top. It is a considerable inconvenience to not be able to fill the car to its capacity, especially on long trips. I am just afraid that this will happen, at any time, with no warning, quite an uncomfortable feeling actually. I hope for a satisfactory resolution to this issue. Thank you.
The car has a ticking noise from under the engine and it won't go above 25mph. The car also shuts off if it's idoling after being driven.
2006 chrysler 300c. Consumer writes in regards to engine failure. *ldthe consumer stated the vehicle was firmly locked in park. The vehicle was repaired.
After filling up the gas tank, the engine will stall several times. When idling at a light or stop sign and sometimes when traveling at low rpms. This engine has stalled when entering the parkway nearly being rear ended. This has occurred for the past two monthsseveral times, only when i fill up the gas tank.
I was on the way to a doctors appt with my pregnant daughter on 264 heading towards chesapeake, va.i was doing 55 mph and the tank was on 1/8 th of a tank.as we were driving, about 15 min later, the car lurched, a ding was heard, the etc light flashed, the rpms dropped to 0, then resumed a second later causing the lurching forward. About 3 to 4 minutes and intermittently over the next 15 min later, it did the same thing, but also stalled at the stop lights on the way there.no codes came up when diagnostics were put on it.the throttle control unit was replaced and a relearn was done, this did nothing. Same thing happened.i have read many other reports of this happening and no one has an exact fix for this.also, may have nothing to do with this, but about 2 weeks prior to this happening, i was filling up with gas and the tank overflowed.no problems occurred through the next 3 or 4 fill ups, the tank was on an 1/8 when the first hesitation and stalling occurred.
After filling gas tank. Engine stalled and cut-off.
After filling tank with gas the car stalls a few times once you start driving away.it can also happen if you park your car after filling with a full tank. It seems you must gun the engine to prevent the stalling.it happens intermittently.it just happened 2 fill ups in a row and sometimes it could be months before it happens again.at first i thought it was bad gas but this happens to frequently.what is causing this problem?my car has been maintained extremely well.i went to my dealer and they had no recall or knew nothing about the problem.
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.
Car stalls unexpected after fueling up
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostics where the technician statedthat the piston had detached from the engine and the engine would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.
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.
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 .
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure was unable to be replicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 90,000.
The contact owned a 2006 chrysler 300. The contact was driving at 60 mph was coming from the engine compartment. The contact was able to pull over when the vehicle caught on fire. The contact sustained an infection in her chest and sought out medical assistance. The fire marshals were called and the vehicle was extinguished and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the sheriff's department, where it was determined to be destroyed. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with, nhtsa campaign number: 06v149000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however the vin was not included. The contact informed the manufacturer of the failure and told the contact that there was no recall on her vehicle. The mileage was approximately 70,000.
On 4 occasions since december 2012 (i purchased it 6/2012), my car has stalled after fill up, on one of the three occasions the car would not restart for several minutes.all four times that the car stalled, it was while i was in traffic and turning.the first time i was turning on to a major highway in daytona beach, and the car would not restart.i do not overfill my tank, i only fill it until the pump shuts itself off.i have had my engine codes checked and there is not indication of any reason for the stall.i have two codes, one for an ambient air temperature sensor, and one for an oil pressure sensor.neither of those should have cause a random stall with no warning.my car is well maintained, and babied.
My 2006 chrysler 300c (hemi 5.7) will stall at low speeds or when stopped at a traffic light. The car does restart. At higher speeds (e.g,, 60mph), the vehicle will exhibit a sudden loss of power (drop in rpms, followed by a chime sound) as if the engine is about to stall, before reaccelerating again. The stalling/loss of power issue does not occur all the time. Sometimes, the car will operate as long as a day or two without incident. The dealer performed a complete system diagnostic - retrieved code po700 - related to loss of communication with pcm to multiple modules. (they may have been old stored codes.) then, they cleared the codes, road tested the car, but could not replicate the problem. The dealer returned the car and asked me to monitor it. They indicated that if the issue re-occurs, the vehicle will possibly need a pcm or ignition switch. My impression is that they are guessing at what the issue may be. The day after the car was returned to me, the same sudden stalling/loss of power issues recurred although the engine diagnostic light has not come on. I will be returning the car to the dealer, even though they have not been able to pinpoint the problem to date. I am very concerned about the sudden stalling and loss of power. This is a very serious safety issue that can result in an accident. I am married with a 9 month old baby.
Purchased car used and within 24 hours had car stall on me totaling about 6 times now within 2 weeks. It has stalled everywhere from highway speeds to idling and while in reverse. Car starts back up without problem if put in neutral or park. Have had fuel injectors cleaned, new spark plugs ( manufacturer suggested copper) and all new ignition coils. Dealership said the stalling was caused by old spark plugs and worn ignition coils but continues to stall after all of these were replaced. It doesn't seem to matter what speed i am going, but seems to stall more when i reach around a quarter tank of gas. The car has stalled on me several times in traffic and while entering and exiting highway. I do not feel it is safe to drive especially with kids and family in the car, there is no warning of stall and is very unpredictable.
My husband filled up the tank on 110413 (already had 1/4 tank).i drove to and from work, but once i backed into the yard the vehicle would not crank again.as i revved the engine the car would act like it would continue running after the initial start up, but as soon as i took my foot off of the accelerator the car cut off.i had to have the car towed to a chrysler dealership, but no one mentioned the issues that customers have been having with this specific vehicle (2006 300c with hemi). Vehicle is currently in the shop and the mechanic mentioned it might be the engine... Oh really!!!!!
Electrical problem has been happening since purchase in december 2005. Sometimes power windows will not go up or down, lights on temp gauges and dash have burned out and heated seats occasionally get super hot. Headlights have gone out while driving even after replacing the switch and all the trouble lights have come on while driving down the road. Have taken to many different dealers and none have found any problems they say.
Vehicle stalled twice after filling up the gas tank, once exiting the gas station waiting for the light to turn green and another 3 minutes later at another light on the feeder road of the highway. I have never had any other issues as car is well maintained: oil changes with synthetic, air filter, transmission service, spark plugs, ect. I also only use 89 octane fuel as recommended in the owners manual.
After filling fuel tank in a gas station and starting warm engine the engine died after traveling approximately 300 feet while making a turn. Very dangerous situation. Engine re-started but continued to die on and off for approximately 2 miles. Have not driven car since.
Engine stalled and stopped working as coming out of gas station after filling at gas station.steering went hard and brakes did not work. Warning light (lub oil can) came up.turned ignition off and on again, engine started but kept stalling for next 5 minutes. - multiple occurrences - all after filling tank.all subsequent occurrences reported to dealer. Dealer kept vehicle for a week trying to 'replicate' the error but reported no findings.
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.
Mechanic said the exhaust valve dropped in the cylinder and caused catastrophic failure, needs the complete new engine.i have replaced the oil vigorously every 4500 mile with synthetic oil.the car has 189000 miles on it and there are tons of reports that show this is very common after 100k miles.
After filling up with fuel while stopped at a traffic light the engine stalled.after restarting and proceeding the engine stalled again while traveling at 15-20 mph.this has happened several times since always after refueling.
The car has been stalling out after being started. Now it is almost shutting off or becoming unresponsive mid acceleration from a stop sign.the car will at random stall. The engine does not need to be restarted so far while driving. It will "die" for a few seconds and then comes back again just short of complete engine shut down. Rear window on passenger side is also non responsive.it has only worked once since i have had the car.
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.
Took vehicle to barber shop anti skid light came on without a wet or slick rd condition..took car to mechanic to have it checked out .pulled into garage parking car shook violently and shut off. Would not crank..the mechanic opened the vehicle up timing chain was intact ,found the camshaft broke.
After filling the gas tank the vehicle is prone to stall.this can happen at random times and speeds.if you only fill the tank up 3/4 of the way it seems to alleviate the problem.no trouble codes are set.after stalling the vehicle can sometimes be restarted immediately, other times it might have to sit for 5 minutes.
While driving on a main road in my city the engine stalled3 times in a 5 mile range finally shutting off again in a parking spot at my local gym this is very concerning, because this puts me at risk of being rear ended. This is a safety issue, i was lucky this time but might not be the next.
Engine stalled for first time less than 2 miles after fill up at 25 mph on city street. Immediately loss power assist of both steering and brakes. Car weights 4040 lbs and i had a difficult time pulling into a parking lot and getting the car stopped. Car was immediately restarted. No future problems until nearly every refill when it stalls within first few seconds or 2 miles. Car now has 79550 miles.my wife drives this most frequently but i always fill the gas tank. I told her when it stalls, steer straight, put car in neural, restart,and hope you do not have to stop quickly.in nhtsa action number pe13016 chrysler's [xxx] letter aug 9, 2013 last page 17 states "if astall after refuel conditions occurs, the vehicle has functioning steering and brake systems". True but with out power assist on steering and brakes car is very difficult to control. Most women and small men would have difficulty safely stopping car.chrysler concludes this issue poses and minor risk to vehicle safety. I am a retired mechanical engineer and worked 40 years with power trains and strongly disagree.in this review vehicles 5, 6, and 7 all had problems with swollen refueling floats allowing the floats to stick and not function properly. All three cars were 2006 300c with 5.7 liter hemi engines the same as mine..on a11.page 15, chrysler acknowledges the vent valves was changed for my 2007. This appears to acknowledge a poor or faulty design in my 2006.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After fill up engine shut off five times in traffic.
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 contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning while driving at low speeds. The failure was recurring. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where a diagnostic was performed however, the dealer was unable to locate a failure code. The dealer reprogrammed the main computer system but the failure was not corrected. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 66,000.
2006 chrysler 300c. Car has 84,000 miles. Drove around today for a half hour. Parked car. Restarted car in 5 minutes, it made a horrible sound and car started shaking, ran rough and then died. Would only restart with foot on gas and ran very rough. Took it to firestone and they said that the valve/cyliner #5 dropped. Engine is shot, unless i pay to have it re-bult or replaced. Car is not even worth it. Already had to have a re-bult transmission on car at 68,000 miles. Car is a joke and so is chrysler, never buying another one of their products again. Oil was changed regularly. Horrible manufacturing in this car, from engine to trans to gas tank issue to electical. Car is a lemon.
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.
I had half a tank of gas. I stoped at the gas station and fiiled my car up. When i pulled out of the gas station as im riding down the rode my car felt at it was jerking are as the transmission was slipping then the oil light came on and the car shut off in the middle of the rode. I put it in neutral and crunk it back up and drove into a nearby parking lot and as soon as i pulled into the parking lot it shut off again. I then again put it in neutral and crunk it again. It shut off after a minute. I then repeated those steps and just set there for thirty minutes or so and let it run and it didn't cut off after that. Every time i fill my tank up i have this same problem. My car runs fine long as i dont fill my tank up.
Stalled on several occasions after filling the tank up. Also while going at lower speeds. Hesitation 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 afloat swells up into a stuck open position, allowing an overfill condition.
5 minutes after filling up my 06 chrysler 300c srt-8 6.1l at a gas station i was crossing over traffic to make a left turn and my car died in the middle of oncoming traffic. It took several minutes to restart then lurched forward after put into gear. This is the second time right after filling my tank this has occurred. The time before it stalled merging onto interstate on ramp.
Stalls after i fill up and jerks violently when moving slowly 0 to 20 mph and hesitates when driving 30 and over if i don't drive around drive around in a parking lot for apx 10 min it will stop in traffic and possibly causing a rear end collision.
While driving car randomley has m0mentary loss of power. There is a bell sound and then the car restarts, but it drops out of cruise control and sometimes has check engine light, or other dash lights. Usually lights clear upon restart. This has happened from nov 2019 to present.
I too have had several instances when my car stalled on a busy road after approx. 5 minutes of fueling up. Very dangerous. This happened approx. 6 times usually in very cold weather.
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.
I was driving on freeway and all of a sudden the engine completely shut off losing all power. I was almost rear-ended as i drift to the side of the road. I turned key to off position and turned back on and it started. Then as i was driving again the engine started lurching and stuttering and the engine shut off then turned back on. This happened 4 more times. This morning on my way to work it did it again turned off on freeway almost causing an accident at 70 mph. I see online there are many complaints of same issue. I called the chryselr dealer and they would not even listen to the issue but offered a $1800 fix, same fix that is recorded online that doesnt work
I had just refueled at the quick trip left the station and within one mile experienced the vehicle's engine cutting off and on.the tachometer would show that the engine was going from 2000 rpm's to 1000 this happened maybe 5 times in a one minute span and then quit.
I was driving home from work and everything seemed fine. I stopped at the convenience store before i went home, so i turned the car off, went in, and when i came back out, the vehicle would not start. It was trying to turn over but wouldn't. Eventually i got it started for a few seconds and revved the engine a little to keep it from shutting back off, and it sounded like rocks were inside the engine, then turned off after maybe 3-4 seconds of running. Got it towed to a local chain garage. The next day they called me and said they got it running for about 30 seconds and it sounded like there were rocks inside of it and that its probably a broken rod, and that could have damaged much more inside. Now i'm not sure what to do with this car. The repairs might end up costing the value of the car, but selling it without an engine is basically worthless. I have no backup car to drive in the mean time, or money/credit to buy a new one. This should not have happened to a well maintained car with under 100k miles on it, and it seems to be a common problem. The company should at least acknowledge there is an issue.updated 2/12/2015
Was passing a slower vehicle when car stalled. Two days later, after filling up with gas, it started dyeing off and on. This could be a very serious problem if driving at highway speeds!!
Engine intermittently stalls while either idling or driving.stalls are increasingly more frequent.unable to get a diagnosis of problem.have replaced the pcm but no change in problem occurrence.
My son was driving the call when it first happened where he was on hwy 155 and the engine shut off he had to pull off to the side and then he was able to start it and get the car home. I drove it and it did the same thing where the engine shut off while driving. Had full take of gas and everything. Dash lights would flicker and go out and engine shuts offand it kept doing the same thing. But no chrysler dealershipcould figure out why it was doing that. The vehicle was in motion when it would shut off. Chrysler is stating to everyone that it was lack of maintenance for the 2006 chrysler c. They had replaced the gas tank but never said why it needed it replaced. But after it was replaced kept shutting off and now my car needs a new engine.
Im hoping this post will get us some help and answers about the problems we are having with our 2006 chrysler 300c. We bought the car in november of 2011. It had less than 33,000 miles and was in great condition. We absolutely loved this car for about the first year, but then the trouble started and it is now an ongoing nightmare. It started stalling and dying constantly, usually when we were going slow or stop and go, but a few times when driving 35-45 mph. We had purchased a 2 year/20,000 added warranty when we bought the car (expires in nov 2013 which has me worried) so all of the servicing and repairs have been done at our local dealer. So far, they have done throttle body clean, cleaned a/f box and replaced filter, coolant flush, steering system flush, fuel kit, changed out fuel tank, vapor canister, leak detection pump filter, new factory battery, complete tune up, oil changes, and more. Not all of this was covered by the warranty, so we have spent thousands of our own money on repairs and rental car all the times it has been in the shop since it is our only car. On october 16, we had to have the car towed back to the dealer because it was dying again and wouldn't stay cranked once put in gear and start moving. As of this morning, still no word from them on what they think it is this time, and yet another rental bill while we wait. In the two years we have had this car, we have only put about 10,000 miles on it, it has less than 43,000 miles. This car has way too few miles and has been too well taken care of for it to be having this many problems. All the things they have done and its still doing the same thing!this is a big safety issue because when it dies, you have very little to none of the steering and brakes.luckily, we have not had it die in major traffic yet, but i am afraid to drive it now for fear that we are going to be in a wreck because of it.
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.
I was driving along @ 45mph approaching a stop light and the 5.7l hemi engine started to make a noise that sounded like something got stuck in the fan. Upon further investigation the problem was in the left bank cylinder head. After removing the head and inspecting the valve seats no# 1 intake valve seat was missing. After taking a closer look at the valve seats it was noticed that small bits and pieces were crumbling off of the other seats. Following this i have done some research on this problem and find it to be quite common with the 5.7 engine. The main safety problem here is that if one loses a valve seat then a valve can potentially be lost and cause catastrophic engine failure. At highway speeds this could be a very bad thing. There are two problems here. Chrysler is using a compressed medal valve seat that does not hold up under the stress of the engine as it ages and the second is that the valve seat is not sunk deep enough into the head i.e. The head does not have enough gripping surface to hold the valve seat in place. And yes i am an engineer!
Vehicles stalling while driving, mostly while decelerating.seems to occur more frequently with a full fuel tank and while pulling a trailer, but has also occurred with a half a tank.no problem restarting after stall.started occurring more frequently in june of 2013.has happened at least 6 times in the past 18 months.
After refueling engine stalled. Hard restart in busy traffic.problem continues today.
In august of 2012 my vehicle had around 76,000 miles and it was the first time i experience my vehicle stalling out and turning off while driving at around 30mphs, i pulled over and tried restarting my vehicle and notice there was loss of power and engine was behaving abnormal. I turned it off and restarted after a few minutes and that's when i hard a loud metallic engine noise. I had my car towed to puente hills chrysler dealer and they told me i had no compression in a few cylinders, due to their bad customer service i had my vehicle towed to an independent shop that told me this was a common issue with all chrysler and dodge vehicle's with the 5.7l engines. After diagnosing and taking the valve covers off they found the valve seats had dropped and bent the valves. Total cost was $3,500. Now, november 28, 2013 with 100,995 miles on my vehicle, same thing happened again, vehicle stalled at around 10mphs and once again when trying to restart heard the metallic noise coming from the engine area. This time they are charging me $4,000 to have it fix.
Engine shutting off while driving, making turns and while at stop signs, intersections.
Car stalls immediately after filling up.i switched filling stations, brands and octanes.continued to have problem.after a few gallons were used, the stalling went away each time.problem now continues while stopped at traffic lights, traveling at low speeds, or no pressure on the throttle.while moving it will stall, the engine light will come on and "ding", then when i pump the throttle it will catch itself and the car will jerk hard and accelerate again.at traffic lights once it stalls, it will require using the key to restart.i took the car to the dealer twice for the problem, the last time in aug 2013, the check engine light had stayed on.they reset the codes and could not duplicate the problem.
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 several 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.
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 toreport something worse than just the car stalling.
After filling the fuel tank the engine will stall when stopping for a light or when first leaving the light. It will also jerk while driving.this happens until the fuel level goes down. It did not do this when first purchased. Now it happens every time the tank is filled. If the car stalls while driving the steering and brakes become difficult to use. There are many reports online about this same problem. Chrysler does not claim to know anything about this at the dealer. Someone will get hurt or worse if this problem is not addressed. Thank you
I fill my car up at gas station and while driving my car will completely cut off out of nowhere
2006 chrystler 300c 5.7l hemi will randomly die when sitting idle, and while in mid drive. This happens on a highway at 75mph or in town at 30mph or at a stop light 0mph. This is very dangerous to everyone in and outside of the vehicle. The engine will stall causing it either a.)die or b.) lunge forward and possibly hit another vehicle.
I came out of home depot to a car that wouldn't start this give a jump but we could here something grinding in the motor at first i thought maybe a belt broke or the fan was loose the noise was scary the car wouldn't stay on sc i called for a tow to the dealership. The results were i need a new engine.. The #5 cylinder dropped an intake valve and damaged the engine $9448. I purchase this vehicle brand with 74 miles it now has 78000 all the maintenance was done at the dealership. There was no apparent reason for the engine dying no warning system said okthis car has all the bells and whistles. Now i have a beautiful shell of a car without an engine please someone help me thanks
After filling up at a gas station, my car stalled as i was getting into traffic. This is ridiculously dangerous. It stalled again a couple more times and then it was fine after about 15 minutes. This happened again and again after refueling. Some people are saying its the evap canister. Apparently there's a valve that gets stuck open and let's liquid fuel flood the engine. It's supposed to only allow fuel vapors to get to the engine.
After filling up the gas tank the car stalled multiple times and was very difficult to start. This happened several times before it would run properly. This happens every time i fill the gas tank. The solution has been to not fill the tank. Chrysler knows this is a problem--the have been able to recreate it in their test.
When i filled the fuel tank the car would stall leaving the service station. Then it started when i was driving slow over rough pavement or speed bumps. At these times i did not realize the car had stalled untili saw the oil light on. The dealership could find nothing wrong with the car but suggested that the oil pressure switch be changed. The problem stilled persisted so i had the car tuned up. Problem still continued and so i stopped buying a particular brand of gas because while leaving the station which is on the incline the car stalled and a bunch of lights came on and one indicated a problem with the gas. I have had the fuel injectors cleaned and stopped topping of the tank but the problem has not gone away. I have to drive two major highways for doctor appointments and cannot afford to have this car stall like this in major traffic. The car will be going along smoothly and then it starts lurching like i am trying to accelerate and brake at the same time. This presents a dangerous situation. The car goes in tomorrow to be checked again.i had driven 25 miles since the last fill and the car acted so erratic that i an afraid to drive it because you can't control where it is going when it stalls (no brakes or power steering.
Car began overheating frequently despite plenty of fluid in radiator system.car overheated while idling and engine just stopped working.

The car randomly stalls out and sometimes while driving at highway speeds all the lights will briefly flash on in the dash, immediate loss of power and violent bucking.this is ridiculous!it happens all the time.this is not the full fuel tank stalling issue.i already had the tank replaced.this happens at wot or at idle or in between.this car is unsafe to drive.i have no confidence in the car anymore.i still love this car, but i'm considering going on a crusade against chrysler unless they do something immediately to fix this.read the forums - many people are having the same issues with the 6.1l and 5.7l engines.no one knows what to do.please help!!!
Dropped valve seat at 72k miles. All maintainance done on time. One day the car just wouldn't start, took it to the shop, found a drop valve on cylinder 5.
The frontend has death wobble going on the highway more than 65mph i've had the whole front end replaced without solving the problem, the motor also was replaced due to one of the cylinder going right threw the motor and it happened again after motor over heated a year later
While on a curvy road after dark, at 45 mph, the electrical system shut down, dash lights flashed and went off, engine died. 40 mph on a curvy road with no lights. After 20 seconds it all came back on. Had no problems for 3 months. Electrical system has momentarily shut down on 4 other occasions since then. On 12/08/15 my wife was in line at the dandridge elementary school picking up my grandson. While in car pickup line with the transmission in drive, the dash lights came on, the vehicle accelerated (surged forward) then died. Engine died 5 times before she could get it home. This would be called a near miss accident in a workplace setting.car is operating normally at this time. I held an ase master technician certification and in my opinion it is a dangerous electrical condition. I realize that someone must die in order to get this problem fixed and that is a shame.
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 refueling, my chrysler 300srt 2006 6.1 liter v-8 engine stalled while traveling through town. It restarted quickly and i continued my travel. Within 1 mile, the vehicle stalled again and restarted quickly. I have not had any other incident as of 5/5/13. I am concerned after reading an article in the paper regarding this problem with other chrysler products of the same year and similar models. I travel the interstates often and refuel during my travel and i am extremely concerned that my car will stall on the interstate while traveling 65 mph surrounded by other cars. I have reported this problem to my chrysler dealer and understand there is an ongoing investigation. I can only pray that the underlying problem is discovered quickly before there are any crashes with or without injuries. Is there anything else i need to do?
I drove my 2006 chrysler 300c hemi with my soon to be wife and 4 year old daughter to go food shopping and was low on gas after shopping i filled the tank up at a chevron station and as i tried to pull out of the station it died. It took 3 tries and it started again then on the freeway as i was changing lanes it died again in the middle of traffic and i was scared to death for the safety of my fiance and small child i coasted to a stop in the middle lane because i couldn't get over either way with cars behind me honking i calmly tried to start the car and on the 3rd try it started and got us back to martinez. It died twice more at stop signs and a light. Very dangerious. I bought the car a week ago because my fianc is 6 months pregnant. And i wanted her to have a 4 door to make it easy on her with the kids.
When coming to a complete stop or sometimes at low speed, the vehicle will stall. This incident occurred four times in one day.
Since last march my chrysler 300c srt8 2006 is turning off the engine while in movement. I noticed the problem always happen when the fuel tank is full oraround 3/4. It's a very serious problem because i almost crashed the car many times considering that when the engine turns off the steering gets heavy and the brakes doesn't work properly. Now i'm not confident to put my family in the car because i am afraid to have a collision and hurt myself and my family. I made a research at the internet and i realized that a lot of 300c owners have the same problem that it's called as engine stall. Now i want chrysler to help me to solve this matter considering it already happened several times and it's very dangerous to drive the car with this defective.
The first time this happened was over a year ago. I had just filled up gas tank and pulled out of lot still in a parking lot of a shopping area. Turned left into a fast food place and car shuts down and would not restart until attempted several times. I was able to pull into a parking spot and went inside. Came out started car was pulling out of lot into traffic and car shuts down again. This time not to the liking of other drivers or myself. Restarted after several attempts drove home and did not happen again till i went on a trip a few months later. Half way through the trip i had to refuel and bingo it happened again after pulling out of gas station lot and turning left into traffic. This is not good. I was able to restart after several minutes and continued my trip on interstate without further incident. Since then it has been ok until just two days ago the 28th of december 2013. It happened again, after filling up and turning left at slow speed car shut down while pulling into a lot. It finally restarted after several attempts. After reading on line i'm not the only one with this problem. When it happened the first time i took to dealer, that i will never take it to again. Short story is they wanted to replace my transmission at the tune of $4500.00. I left there and drove to a transmission shop who diagnosed and said that there was nothing wrong with transmission. Problem appears to be getting worst and afraid to fill up and pull out into traffic. From what i understand there seems to be a problem with the fuel tank and related components. Please chrysler fix this problem, i love my 300c.
My 300c stalled out on the freeway while accelerating during a traffic jam. It took a couple tries to restart the engine.
I have a 2006 chrysler 300c that recently broke down.when i took it to the dealership for repairs they said that valve seat deteriorated and dropped on the piston.they said it had a grenade effect and sent metal everywhere, which jammed metal inside piston.i was told that i need a new engine which would cost me $3,500 for a used engine and $5,000 for a new engine with $2,200 labor costs.i did some research and have found that there are numerous people that have experienced the same issue.these are some resources i found:http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/why-some-late-model-dodgechrysler-vehicles-are-prone-to-catastrophic-engine-failure-210043421.htmlhttp://www.torquenews.com/397/two-fatal-flaws-ruining-chrysler-engines-catastrophic-breakdownshttp://www.carcomplaints.com/chrysler/300c/2006/engine/engine-7.shtmlhttp://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/257x31/2006_chrysler_300c_dropped_valve_seat_damage/http://www.challengertalk.com/forums/f188/report-pre-mature-chrysler-engine-failure-98463/http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/archive/index.php/t-187432.htmlhttp://www.justanswer.com/chrysler/6qzew-chrysler-300c-5-7-hemi-dropped-valve-seat.htmlhttp://www.challengerforum.com/f17/engine-failure-1123/http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php/359652-new-from-s-jersey-2005-chrysler-300c-dropped-valve-seati also joined a group on facebook and personally talked to many people who this has happened to.i called chrysler to notify them of the issue and was told that there was nothing that they could do.i asked to speak to a supervisor and they said they stand behind the original decision.i have contacted the bbb, the local news station, and the consumer protection division of the attorney general's office in michigan (the state where chrysler's headquarters are located).
Stopped for gas.when i tried to start the car, it would not start.i had it towed home.then had it towed to mechanic.i was told the engine was shot.the car has approximately 56,000 miles on it. ...updated 03/13/17
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 andthe dealer. No one can find the problem. It is still unknown.i'm scared to drive it but i have to work.
My car broke down in a parking lot (drove there completely fine and the heat gauge didn't read the car was overheating). I got my car towed to bryants automotive in redding ca. The cars upper radiator hose fell off causing my engine to overheat. 0 check engine light, 0 codes shown. I was quoted 10k, and i am basically screwed because i dont have that kind of money. Very disappointing and i would like an investigation into this issue.
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 carruns rough when stopping at red lights.
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 replacedthis 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.
My vehicle will stall out on me intermittently. It mostly happens right after i get finished putting gas in my car. Unlike most other stories i've read about overfilling the gas tank, this happens to me sometimes when i put just a half of a tank of gas in my car. Now, as of nov. 7, 2013, it's done it well over 100 times; that's since the first time it happened in may. The dealership is a complete scam. They know this is a defect. They've charged me to fix everything from egr valves to pcms to spark plugs. Nothing has worked.then finally i decide to do some deep research, that's when i decided to file my complaint. There are 2 major issues i have. When at highway speeds, i'll lose all power and throttle response for a split second, then it'll kick back in. It's extremely dangerous, to say the least. The more frequent problem, is the car completely cutting off while either at idle, or traveling at a lower speed. Both situations happen almost always directly after i put gas in my car. This happens so much that it is becoming unbearable. Sometime it starts back up, and sometimes i have to wait a minute or two. It's ridiculous. I don't mind paying to have my car serviced. However, diagnose the problem, know that's the problem, and let's get it fixed. Don't run me through $3,000 worth of repairs, knowing that you've got countless others with the same model and model year, coming in around the same time, complaining about the same problem. You know what it is. That's no coincidence. And quite frankly, it's fraudulent. I've got my 5 year old son riding in the back seat. What happens the next time my car stalls out on the highway and loses power, with another car tailgating me? what if it's a tractor trailer next time? will they have enough time to brake or plow into the back of me? more unnecessary stress and worry for the loyal consumer. Thanks chrysler.
Many multiple incidents - after filling fuel tank, engine will stall multiple times shortly afterwards and is difficult to re-start.this happens even if care is taken to avoid "topping off" tank.at times the engine has even stalled during fueling once tank is near full, before pump clicks off.must drive with gas cap removed for it to start and run at all for many miles before it behaves normally again, and even with gas cap removed it still will come near stalling at times.
The car cut off 3 times in one day for no apparent reason; once while pulling out into oncoming traffic, then after fueling the car and pulling out of the gas station into oncoming traffic, then while driving down the street at about 35 mph. Fortunately, i safely guided the car to the side of the road to avoid a collision.the dealership replaced 2 sensors (code:p0038)- $501.98. One week later, the car continued to cut off while driving. The dealership codes that came up: p0038, p0058, p0052, p0032, pmc & engine harness,& pmc engine computer - $2000 - declined repairs because sensors (p0038) were just replaced . Chrysler service bulletin 08-34-05 june 30, 2015 addresses this issue. Chrysler corp -michael browsowski says the car (now 56,484 miles) is out of warranty so they owe us nothing, but as a good will gesture, they will pay for 2 parts only - not labor. He admitted that a car cutting off is unacceptable, but refused to cover the entire cost of repair. He also refused to reply to my written complaint in writing. Chrysler continues to shirk their responsibility to recall and repair this manufacturer's defect.

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![xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After topping off the gas tank the vehicle was driven two blocks where it was then pulled onto a busy access road in town. The vehicle was slowing down to a red light when the engine stalled for a moment, the oil pressure light came on, thenimmediately cut out and would not restart. After putting on hazard lights and attempting to call for a tow attempts were made to restart the car and after about 20 minutes of waiting the engine turned over and it was possible to pull the car off the road to a mechanic a block up. The car was scanned and no engine codes were found and oil pressure was found to be fine. The car was given a valve flush and started up fine after that. The incident repeated itself on 3/29/15 once more after filling up the tank, after going to blocks the car once more stalled and shut down. At this point i am very concerned for my safety with this vehicle if this is what is going to happen every time the car needs gas and this should be address with a recall after seeing so many complaints.
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....
As reported with other complaints, car will stall after refueling. Yesterday it stalled three times while removing my foot from the accelerator and applying the brake. It also stalled while turning through an intersection which prompted me to dig into this further since previous attempts to correct the problem have not worked!.visited chrysler dealership today and since the check engine light was not on nor could they find anything specific to the issue there was nothing they could do. The only question i was asked was that if i topped the fuel after the pump automatically shuts off.i responded that i did not and if i did what difference would that make. Problem has been on going for about 8 months, and in those months the dealership re-flashed the engine control module, i have replaced the spark plugs, replaced all the fluids, and replaced the pcv valve.problem still persists and would like to seek some type of resolution!
Engine stalling after fueling. We first suspected bad fuel, but soon learned we were not alone in this issue. We waited years for the local dealer to finally admit to a problem with the fuel tank rollover valve. Chrysler then issued a lifetime warranty on the tank. As soon as the lifetime warranty on the tank was issued we took the vehicle to our local chrysler dealer and was told we were # 6 on the list waiting on tanks that are on back order. I checked status this past week and the dealer said he now has a stack of back orders for these tanks. What good is the lifetime warranty if the company is unable to provide parts support. We really enjoy this auto but the stalling is getting more common and we feel it is becoming more dangerous to drive.
After fueling, car stalled while in motion at slow speed exitingparking lot. Stalled again a mile further when entering garage, both times while turning. Car has 19000 miles.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician was unable to determine how to remedy the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 29,000 and the current mileage was 34,000.
Engine stalls after filling the tank.on at least four occasions vehicle would stall within 20 miles of completely filling tank. After second incident vehicle taken to chrysler dealer for a tune-up, however problem persisted. This occurred once while entering a public parking lot with loss of power steering and brakes fortunately the car at low speed and rolled to a stop before striking anything.on another occasion this happened while pulling away from a traffic light in heavy traffic nearly causing the vehicle to be struck from behind.temporary fix is to no longer completely fill the tank, guessing at about 3/4 tank to stop fueling.partially filling the tank is not a proper solution.this is a recurring problem and needs to be investigated and recalled.
I was driving to get onto the highway going up the ramp and my car just died. The engine completely shut down. Had it towed to the dealer ship and they said that something in my engine exploded. They have not seen anything like it. Since then i have discovered that my car is not the only chrysler 300 with that problem. 22 other people have had the same problem with their engine some of themhaving their car only 3 weeks. That is really a problem and very unsafe.
Vehicle has had 3 incidents of engine stalling.1st was early morning after being driven only .7 miles.next was 11/5/2013 after filling up on way home.car died at stop sign.next was 11/6/2013 after being driven less then a mile.car restarted after each incident.
Engine stalls after filling up with gas.
The first time i stalledwas after filling up my tank ,i was leaving the gas station, i was in the right lane of on coming traffic when it stalled, nearly getting hit by an on coming car.since that time it has stalled at least six times. I went to my chrysler dealer who claims they had no knowledge of this problem. It happened again two days later while on a busy highway.i was making a left turn into a shopping center when it stalled , leaving me in the far left lane of on comingtraffic. I immediately went to the chrysler dealership and reported it again at which time i was informed there was still no recall on the car and i was told i would have to leave it. I am going back to the dealership on 5/30/13 (hilton head chrysler, hwy 278 ,fording island rd,.,hardeville, sc)
The car will hesitate and stall unexpectedly.it seems to occur only immediately after refueling.after driving a few miles, the problem seems to go away.internet chatter seems to indicate a bad evap solenoid/canister.apparently this is part of the entire fuel tank and is 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.
After filling the vehicle with gas, the vehicle stalls while idling.while driving down the road the car jerks severely and then turns off while driving down the road.there was an investigation that was closed on february 10, 2014, and chrysler is suppose to be offering lifetime extended warranty related to this issues.however, i have not been successful in having chrysler assist me in making sure my vehicle is safe to drive down the road.the vehicle stalling occurred twice while driving until i started to research it.
After i purchased my 2006 chrysler 300c on july 6th, 2013, the salesman filled the car up with gas.he had the car running & before i could get in the car, it switched itself off, not once but twice. The next incident was after the first time i filled my car with gas, which was july 26th, i drove to my next stop & my car switched off while pulling into a parking place.the next time was july 29th, my husband filled the car up & the car switched off twice!!!the next time was the next day, july 30th, i was at a red light & the car switched off.i have not made the 1st payment on the car, however, i am concerned with this major safety issue!!!
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the engine started to exhibit an abnormally loud noise as the vehicle started to jerk violently.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the number sixintake valve failed and would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 85,000. The vin was not available.

Vehicle stalls at random. Today i was driving 30-40 mph and my engine stalls and turns off. I was stuck in the middle of a busy intersection off a freeway ramp. Where is the recalling on this? are they waiting for deaths? this has been an on going serious issue and needs to be resolved. This vehicle is very dangerous to drive!
Vehicle often stalls after filling gas tank. Usually restarts right away. No check engine light.
My 300 c stalls and jerks every time i fill it up now.the car was taken to the dealership and reported several times (midway jeep and chrysler, san diego), and the service writer said they were aware of the problem because they have had a number of complaints. I was told not to fill the car up completely as this might help. It does not !!!!i almost got killed last week when the engine stalled as i was going down hill with the loss of brakes and power steering....!!!!!!!!i called the service writer at midway jeep chrysler and was put into his voice mail. It is interesting that he never returned the call about the complaint. I have made several.what is it going to take for action to be taken ?an injury or death ? i also have witnesses that have been in the car when this has happened.
After fueling the vehicle if you make left turns the engine dies and will not restart for several minutes. This has happened at least five different times on my 2006 chrysler 300c.
I bought my 2006 300c 9/2/2011 exactly a week later it was back at the dealship its stalling for no reason. Every month oct, nov, dec, jan, feb, march, etc it has been back to the shop for the same exact problem and its not fixed because they don't know what is causing it. When i took it in march/2012 we almost go hit by a truck and trailer going 75 mph on the interstate because it stalled on me. I have three little kids and this is dangerous. I googled searched and there is hundreds of ppl having the same problem but no mechanic is able to tell them the problem. This issue needs a recall and soon...
I was on the entrance ramp to route 495s, about to enter the highway, with cars behind me, and the engine stalled. This was particularly dangerous for myself and other drivers because there was no break-down lane at the end of the entrance ramp. You go directly onto the highway. If i was on the highway when the car stalled there was nowhere for me or the cars behind me to go. They would have had to attempt to stop, too.one of the restart issues with this car is that it must be stopped and in park before you can restart the engine. It is not possible to restart the car while it is moving.
My husband was driving onthe belt parkway. There was traffic so he had to brake and slow down the vehicle..each time he applied the brake it seemed that the motor was losing power. The third time he heard a scraping noise and the motor just died. He had to be towed off the highway.the 2006 chrysler 300 srt8 had less than 25,000 miles on it. Chrysler refuses to cover the engine damage. Chrysler advised me that water collects in the engine when it rains heavily due to the large size of the engine. My mechanic told me he heard of this also and to him it sounds like a defect that chrysler should correct. Whoever heard of not being able to drive your car when it rains. Also i never received a renewal for an extended warranty. I assumed i was covered for 5 years.
I purchased my 2006 chrysler 300c on 8/8/2014. One week after my purchase i filled my gas tank and soon after the car would stall when idling and/or at low speeds. At first i thought it was a fluke until it has continued to happen. I've spent the past couple of months doing research on the issue. My situation is exactly like the complaints that were made that caused the extended warranty for the issue. My concern is when putting my vin number in it doesn't show the complaint. I wanted to lodge this complaint this way when i go to the dealership to get it corrected i have a point of reference. One day i had my seven year old son and 6 month old daughter in the car, it was raining and the car started to stall at about 35 mph i tapped the gas to prevent it from stalling. The temporary stall disengaged my traction control and i slid into on coming traffic. I was able to maneuver through it however my children could have died. I hope chrysler does the right thing for me.
Intermittent stalling - repetitive issueintermittent stalling of my vehicle while in park or while stopped at a light. I've had the vehicle in for service 3x's for the same issue; 3/21, 4/17 and 6/23. Since the problem occurs so infrequently, the dealers (berlin chrysler & mt. Ephraim chrysler) have been unable to diagnose the issue. I've had no problems with the car stalling since 6/23, now it has happened again and with my car being 41,000 miles it's out of warranty. There is no reason why i should have to pay for diagnosis and repair (if they can even diagnosis it) considering i've had the vehicle in for the same issues 3 other times which chrysler has documented. I did speak to a representative @ 1-800-992-1997 who was very friendly but who could not give me a definitive answer. The service records are impeccable on this vehicle i should not be concerned while driving the vehicle that it's going to stall and causing a dangerous situation to my well being. Three days business days after my phone call and e-mail to chrysler they responded with a generic lack of responsibility response. There are various forums on the internet of folks having similar complaints about this car.
Owning my chrysler 300c has been nothing short of an nightmare..i have had the car power down while driving on the freeway, in the city and just recently on a saturday 11/12/11 night on a desolate road with my children in the car.. When it shut off and would not restart. I have been to the dealership numerous times advising them that there is no heat in the car unless your driving that it starts delayed and every time they have said there is no code so therefore they cant trouble shoot..i just feel as though this car is a death trap waiting to happen to go from 70 miles an hour to completely lose power is dangerous..it is not a safe nor reliable car and i would not recommend it to anyone..
Engine stalled soon after filling gas tank.has happened the last two times the tank was filled.
In june of this 2011 our chrysler 300c just stopped running at a stop light.we had it towed to a local shop and the mechanic refused to do anything and advised us we needed to take the car to an official chrysler dealer.meanwhile the car would start and appeared to run ok so we left the shop and within a mile the car started to sputter and we pulled over on the road but then managed to get the car back home.we had the car towed to the local chrysler dealer and they kept the car for a week and did not solve the problem.on november 3, 2011 my wife had a doctors appointment and as she pulled into the doctor parking lot the chrysler just died.she waited a few minutes and the car started and she was able to park it.after her appointment she was able to start the car and drive it home and it almost stopped again before she got home.we called the local dealer and they asked me to bring thecar in for inspection and i refused, as i did not want the car to stop on me on the freeway. Finally they agreed to have the car picked up and delivered to their shop at their expense.the chrysler was purchased new in december of 2005 as a 2006 model and now has approximately 63,000 miles.we purchased the extended warranty and it has had all the required maintenance by the local chrysler dealer from day one.based on all the other posts on the nhtsa site about the stalling problem i have a low confidence of getting this problem resolved to our satisfaction.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving approximately 35 mph the vehicle jerks and hesitate for 1 second and then it does it again. This failure happens approximately every three months. The contact stated the vehicle stalled and he coaststhe vehicle to the side of the road. He waits ten seconds and the vehicle restarts as normal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they are unable to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 48,000.updated 12/21/10the consumer stated he continues to experience the same problem. The dealer was unable to find any code.

The current issue with this model for me is the fuel. I just had a vapor canister installed that did not solve the issue but it did get rid of a few of the problems.when i first started having problems with my car shutting down after a fill up, i thought the gas had water in it but it's not the gas. No matter what station i fill up at, i have the same symptoms. The car will drive fine for about 3 car lengths, then it will hesitate, choke, jump, try to die, jerk forward and then finally stall and shut itself off. Then it will take 3 or more tries to get the car to restart and it may do the same things over again for another block or two. The bottom line is, in the first 3 blocks of driving this car after a fill up, i can expect just about anything and i know for sure it will die on me if i fill it up. If i only put in 3/4 of a tank of gas or less, i am safe but if i let the pump kick off on its own, i'm in trouble.the only thing the vapor canister did was stop it from jumping and jerking, all the other symptoms are still there.
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.
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.
I have had engine stalling after refueling on numerous occasions since 2007.received a letter dated may 8, 2014 from chrysler group llc informing me that my model chrysler has a condition where the furl shut-off float in the multifunction control valve sticks, causing the vehicle to stall.the letter informed me that the warranty on the tank had been extended to lifetime coverage.this is where my problem with the vehicle continues.... On 17 june 2014 took my vehicle to cutter chrysler in pearl city, hawaii 96782 to get it repaired (my wife will not ride in the vehicle because of the stalling).i was informed that the part is on back order (approximately 2-3 months).i went back in september and was informed it should be 1-2 weeks.i went back today 3 november 2014 and was informed still on back order with no date as to when parts may be received.chrysler has not adequately addressed this problem with an extended warranty, when you can't get your vehicle repaired because of back ordered parts.it has been 6 months and no repair in sight.my wife does not consider this low risk to vehicle safety and has not ridden in the vehicle since 2008!how can the preliminary evaluation be closed when chrysler has not adequately addressed fixing the problem.warranty extended, but no parts!!investigation closed but no repairs.the problem is still a problem!
I purchased my vehicle from car max used about 15 months ago and my vehicles engine has gone out already at only 85480 miles on it. I was told by the mechanic that my engine is about to throw a rod. I have researched this online and have found pages of complaints from people with the same vehicle claiming the same thing happened to their cars. When i spoke with the mechanic about this he said that he has seen countless customers with this issue and he has found that the valves in the engine are defective because they don't allow the oil to flow through the engine which causes the engine to go out.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While idling at a stop light, a loud banging noise emitted from the front of the vehicle. The contact examined the vehicle and discovered that the radiator fluid was leaking. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the radiator cooling fan motor separated and debris from the fan punctured the radiator. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 137,000.
Last week on may 9th, 2010 the engine in my 2006 chrysler 300c spontaneously died in the parking lot of an osh hardware store. I had the vehicle towed to a dealership and the mechanic confirmed that a piston and valve blew causing the engine to fail and the entire engine will need to be completely replaced at a cost of $8,500.00. The mechanic also confirmed that there was no evidence of wear and tear that could have caused this and even mentioned that he noticed that the car had full synthetic oil that was clean and wasn't due for a change for another 2,500 miles per chrysler's recommended schedule. I have all the receipts from my past oil changes and maintenance as well. I have contacted chrysler regarding this defect and it appears they are not very shocked at all as if it was something they foreseen happening. I am also very concerned with how difficult it is to contact someone with some authority at the company to explain this issue and discuss a resolution. I have written their ceo and their chief of customer care and quality a letter and an e-mail about this over a week ago and neither has responded. What kind of chief of customer care and quality doesn't have any interest in talking to a real chrysler customer regarding an issue of quality? please help me in creating awareness about this issue as i do believe it could have been much worse and extremely dangerous had this engine failure occurred while i was driving and not in the parking lot of a hardware store. Imagine the danger in driving on the highway at 65 miles per hour and spontaneously blowing a piston and the engine becoming completely non-functional and possibly blowing up entirely while moving at those speeds with other cars around you. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.updated 06/14/10.updated 07/27/10.

2006 chrysler 300 engine died after cold start up. As of 05/14/07 it has been in the dealer's shop fpr 40 days with 5 attempts to fix it. No codes, no diagnosis.this was the thirdrepair order for the same defect.
A/c produces moldy, musty smell which causes allergy problems, ie: sneezing, coughing, watery eyes. Took to dealer where it was cleaned and supposedly treated for mold on the evaporator. Condition was improved but still present. I will return to dealer asap to complain again. Dealer/service writer says all cars in florida do this. I have lived in fl all my life and have only had one other car that this happened.the manufacturer had issued a recall and the problem was corrected after one trip to the dealer. The problem did not reoccur.
I was driving at 70mph 2:30 am on the highway at night right before a curve the headlights shut off due to the main computer 'tpim'.in essence it kills all auto features immediately including the headlights.it's a common problem with these cars just look on some of the forms online. I'm upset because my wife could have been driving the car at the time. Chrysler should be held accountable sense it's an issue with this car in general. They also have issues with the lifters due to the poor quality of the lifters rollers and the mds system.
Car will stop in the middle of driving for no reason just like that. Very danger, we chance everypossible think in this car included the computer. I spend over $2700. And still. This car is drive crazy .mostly on stop sigh , and turning. Rpm go up and down

After refueling at local gas station drove 5 miles. Stopped at light where vehicle stalled suddenly. Vehicle restarted after 3 attempts with ignition key.
After filling the fuel tank with gas and entering the freeway the car stalled.every time i fill the car up with gas the fuel tank will just stall.i took the car to the dealer and was told that i would have to have the fuel tank and lines replaced.this is a serious safety hazard.when the car shuts off the steering wheel locks up and you must come to a complete stop before putting the car in park to restart it; all while trying not to be rear-ended by coming traffic.i continue to have the problem today.i took my car in for maintenance and was told that there's now a recall on the fuel tank, but due to the massive number of recalls, the part is on back-order.
Engine stalls after filling the tank.on at least four occasions vehicle would stall within 20 miles of completely filling tank. After second incident vehicle taken to chrysler dealer for a tune-up, however problem persisted. This occurred once while entering a public parking lot with loss of power steering and brakes fortunately the car at low speed and rolled to a stop before striking anything.on another occasion this happened while pulling away from a traffic light in heavy traffic nearly causing the vehicle to be struck from behind.temporary fix is to no longer completely fill the tank, guessing at about 3/4 tank to stop fueling.partially filling the tank is not a proper solution.this is a recurring problem and needs to be investigated and recalled.
After fueling, car began to surge, and then die at random for approximately 5 minutes. Car stalled at major, busy intersection while i was turning. I had a near, potentially fatal accident as i had to restart my car while oncoming traffic coming towards me. This was a horrifying experience. I had this happen a few more times and had attributed it to "bad gas" until i found out about a faulty fuel tank/vapor part in car. I took the car to chrysler dealership and paid $130.00 to diagnose problem. Rode with service technician to refuel car and show him the problem. He experienced the same issue, verified my complaint, then gave me the estimate of cost to replace fuel tank. Chrysler corp. Has offered a 25% discount to help with replacement of entire fuel tank. The whole fuel tank needs to be replaced because the faulty part is built into it. The cost quote from the chrysler dealership, parts and labor is $1,350.00. The price of the fuel tank only, no labor is $905.00. This should be covered by chrysler 100%, the fuel tank did not wear out or fail, the part they built into it failed. It may appear by the year model, (2006) that this an older model beginning to have problems. This is not the case, car has been kept up with regular service and maintenance and is in otherwise mint condition.i feel that this is a serious safety issue, and now i am aware that i cannot fill my fuel tank to capacity without having this issue re occur. Please, any help appreciated. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300. The contact stated that there was a strong gasoline odor throughout the vehicle upon fill-up. The contact also stated that the vehicle shut-off while driving at various speeds, without warning whenever the fuel tank was at full capacity. The contact took the vehicle to freedom chrysler dodge jeep ram by ed morse (815 e camp wisdom rd, duncanville, tx 75116) where the mechanic was unable to duplicate or diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified of failure and referred her back to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
After fueling, filling up,the car will stall several times both while stopped and while moving slowly (10-15mph).if you are moving at highway speeds 45-70mph the car will cut out causing the car to jerk and then resume.it has happened 3 or 4 times since nov 2013.it happens after the care is refueled.i have owned the car since it was new and it only started this behavior recently.
Car stalled after fuel fill up went 100 feet stalled entering the roadway (route 17s).very dangerous.
Started stalling after fill up's apx 1 year ago. I do not drive it alot. Apx 55000 miles on it. First thought was due to changing octane but been using for 4 months . Stalls, bucks, surges. Cleared up after apx 5 to 10 min.
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 problemthe car is currently there and they are trying to recreate the problem.we keep our vehicles services, so that is not a problem.
Right after pulling away from a filling station the car stalled, immediately restarted,drove out on the street and stalled again before reaching the next signal light.restarted kept slightly more pressure on accelerator, and was fortunate not to have stop or slow down in order to reach homeit has did the same thing about a month later.the only way i can be sure of the incident not occurring again is to guess how many miles i have gone based on cars? approximate miles per galsince your agency has completed yourinquiry ( nhtsa action numberpe13016 ) and the manufacturerhas agreed to extend the fuel tank warranty to " lifetime ", how doi obtain an authorization to have my vehicle repaired.i have received no information from chrysler as of this date ( 3/15/14 ).
2006 chrysler 300c. Consumer writes in regards to repair reimbursement.* ldthe consumer received a letter from chrysler statingthey were extending the fuel tank warranty period because some of the affected vehicle population may experienced a condition where the fuel shut-off float in the multi-function control valve sticks which may result in the vehicle stalling after re-fueling.the consumer stated he experienced the stalling issue, as stated in the letter.
Vehicle has had 3 incidents of engine stalling.1st was early morning after being driven only .7 miles.next was 11/5/2013 after filling up on way home.car died at stop sign.next was 11/6/2013 after being driven less then a mile.car restarted after each incident.
After refueling vehicle its stalls out will restart sometimes others it won't. Chrysler will not pay for new fuel tank cost is $1200.00.
Vehicle stalls after fill up at gas stations.has happened at least 10 times in last 2 years.called chrysler in reference to nhtsa action number pe13016. Despite their claim in the nhtsa action that owner letters mailing began in january 2014, i was told that as of april 2, 2014, the life time warranty has not yet been made official and no letters have yet been sent.as of april 2, 2014,chrysler is not honoring the claim they made to cause the nhtsa to close this case.follow up by nhtsa is needed here.
Vehicle stalled at major intersection shortly after refueling and would not restart and stay running.had to be pushed out of intersection and off roadway by police.no codes appeared.numerous restarts and stalls before car was drivable.brought to mechanic who computer scanned for diagnosis.no codes.problem has now recurred 2 more times immediately after last 2 fill ups.most recent was reentering rte 23s near wayne nj after filling up.car stalled and created a serious hazard for me and passengers trying to avoid rear end collision while pulling to shoulder with no power. Very busy road with 50-60 mph traffic.car would not restart and stay running - requiring 5-7 restart/stalls before it was drivable. Brought to mechanic for diagnosis again. No codes on scanner.very dangerous situation.
For the last 30,000+ miles, every time i fill up the car stalls or attempts to stall.about 8 months ago, i took it to my mechanic who had never heard of the problem.he searched the internet and found no reported instances.i've learned to apply a little gas when i have to stop at red lights to keep it running.it will still stall out.i have been searching the internet every few months to see if anyone had the same problem and finally found your investigation action number pe13016.
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 [xxx] 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.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2006 chrysler 300c engine cuts out every time i completely fill my gas tank.this problem was first detected about 6 months ago.since, i have been very careful when re-fueling.sometimes i still encounter engine sputtering and eventual loss of power and steering control.i try to mitigate and control the safety risk as best as i can.i have to quickly throw the car into neutral and crank the engine to restart so i can avoid being a safety threat to others on the road.also thanks to chrysler, my wife refuses to ride in the car with me as it poses a significant safety issue at any speed on any road.i have never had this experience in a car before.this is my first brand new car i bought jan 6, 2006 at the age of 23.i regret my decision ever since.i have lost a ton of faith in chrsyler products and the brand it represents.the one thing chrysler should do, is to recall these cars and offer the fix at no cost to the owner.
Engine stalled soon after filling gas tank.has happened the last two times the tank was filled.
After refueling the vehicle to a full tank of fuel vehicle stalls and sometimes becomes very hard to restart.once the fuel tank level goes down a little the problem goes away.this always occurs after refueling to a full tank of fuel.
Stalling 2-3 times after filling tank up.then will drive fine. Called chrysler said there was no extended warranty to fix problem.
While trying to merge on the freeway the motor stalled and made a rolling drumming not a high pitch noise wouldn't re start towed it home got it started and the engine is making a loud squeak noise it won't idle on its own and it stalls when put into gear.
I am not sure about the actual start date or mileage, but this has been a continued problem for about 4 years. Each time i fill the fuel tank, the car engine starts misfiring and completely cutting off, it continues to do this for several miles (probably 6 to 8) if i have topped up the tank. This results in loss of power steering and power brakes and more than once has nearly let to an accident.i now make sure that i stop filling the tank as soon as the nozzle shuts off, but this still happens for a couple of miles.the engine runs fine at all other times, but this problem occurs every time i fuel the car. I research this problem through the internet and found that many owners of this car hare having the same problem and that the fix requires an expensive replacement of the fuel tank. This problem is definitely a safety issue and i feel chrysler should issue a recall..
When i filled the fuel tank the car would stall leaving the service station. Then it started when i was driving slow over rough pavement or speed bumps. At these times i did not realize the car had stalled untili saw the oil light on. The dealership could find nothing wrong with the car but suggested that the oil pressure switch be changed. The problem stilled persisted so i had the car tuned up. Problem still continued and so i stopped buying a particular brand of gas because while leaving the station which is on the incline the car stalled and a bunch of lights came on and one indicated a problem with the gas. I have had the fuel injectors cleaned and stopped topping of the tank but the problem has not gone away. I have to drive two major highways for doctor appointments and cannot afford to have this car stall like this in major traffic. The car will be going along smoothly and then it starts lurching like i am trying to accelerate and brake at the same time. This presents a dangerous situation. The car goes in tomorrow to be checked again.i had driven 25 miles since the last fill and the car acted so erratic that i an afraid to drive it because you can't control where it is going when it stalls (no brakes or power steering.
The current issue with this model for me is the fuel. I just had a vapor canister installed that did not solve the issue but it did get rid of a few of the problems.when i first started having problems with my car shutting down after a fill up, i thought the gas had water in it but it's not the gas. No matter what station i fill up at, i have the same symptoms. The car will drive fine for about 3 car lengths, then it will hesitate, choke, jump, try to die, jerk forward and then finally stall and shut itself off. Then it will take 3 or more tries to get the car to restart and it may do the same things over again for another block or two. The bottom line is, in the first 3 blocks of driving this car after a fill up, i can expect just about anything and i know for sure it will die on me if i fill it up. If i only put in 3/4 of a tank of gas or less, i am safe but if i let the pump kick off on its own, i'm in trouble.the only thing the vapor canister did was stop it from jumping and jerking, all the other symptoms are still there.
On several occasions, most recently 12/21/2/13 after fueling up my 2006 chrysler 300c to a full tank (not overfilling) my car runs rough and stalls immediately after pulling out into traffic or within one mile of leaving the gas station.my car will not restart for at least 30-45 seconds of cranking the engine.this is definitely a huge safety concern by pulling out into moving traffic when my car stalls. Dealership is recommending a new gas tank and vapor canister which is a very costly repair ($1,500 -$2,000) and they cannot guarantee it will be resolved and there are no current recalls for this issue.
I was on the way to a doctors appt with my pregnant daughter on 264 heading towards chesapeake, va.i was doing 55 mph and the tank was on 1/8 th of a tank.as we were driving, about 15 min later, the car lurched, a ding was heard, the etc light flashed, the rpms dropped to 0, then resumed a second later causing the lurching forward. About 3 to 4 minutes and intermittently over the next 15 min later, it did the same thing, but also stalled at the stop lights on the way there.no codes came up when diagnostics were put on it.the throttle control unit was replaced and a relearn was done, this did nothing. Same thing happened.i have read many other reports of this happening and no one has an exact fix for this.also, may have nothing to do with this, but about 2 weeks prior to this happening, i was filling up with gas and the tank overflowed.no problems occurred through the next 3 or 4 fill ups, the tank was on an 1/8 when the first hesitation and stalling occurred.
After refueling, car stalls. This happens after driving approximately 2 to 3 minutes after leaving gas station. The stall has taken place at intersections,while at a complete stop and while driving no more than 5 -10mph after leaving the gas station.. Car restarts after several attempts in neutral. When each incident occurs, the oil icon comes on, however the oil level is not low. On one occasion after having backed into a parking space with the car gear shift still in reverse and my foot on the brake, the car lurched. The tires could be heard spinning. That was very scary because my car could have rolled into a busy highway. Once the fuel level indicates approximately a half a tank, no stalling incidents take place. Car was taken to the dealership with this concerned.service advisor was aware of chyrsler 300c stalls after refueling.fuel injection system was serviced/cleaned. This has not resolved the problem.car still stalling.really afraid to drive the car, however i am taking it back to the dealership to let them know of the still ongoing problem.
I've been having a problem with my car stalling after i fill up at the gas station for a few years now. I read that chrysler was not recalling for this reason so i just read forums and tried not to fill up my gas tank but sometimes i forget and the problem continues.
After filling up the gas tank the car stalled multiple times and was very difficult to start. This happened several times before it would run properly. This happens every time i fill the gas tank. The solution has been to not fill the tank. Chrysler knows this is a problem--the have been able to recreate it in their test.
After filling up my gas tank, i encountered numerous stalls while driving.thankfully, it was city driving early in the morning.since then, i have encountered numerous situations where the car has stalled after filling up.i initially thought it was bad gas (i.e. Water in my gas tank), however, i have since varied the fueling stations and brands i use and have seen no effect.it always seems to happen after i fill up, and it seems to go away after the tank has emptied a bit.the latest encounter was yesterday (i filled up two days prior) while i had my family in the car - multiple stalls in mid-day city traffic.and again this morning.the gas tank is still quite full (it shows over "f" on the gauge).i _never_ top off when i fill - i simply wait until the filler turns itself off when filling.i have never seen this problem prior to the first occurrence in mid november of 2012, which i initially (as indicated) wrote off as bad gas due to hurricane sandy (i figured the storm may have caused water in the tanks of gas stations).after hearing about numerous issues on this, i wanted to add my experiences to the growing list.the car in question is a 2006 chrysler 300c srt-8.
Car stalls at highway speed, stalls when i come to a stop. Sometimes starts again immediately. Potentially dangerous when car stalls on highway, hazardous avoiding accidents. Car is always maintained as manufacturer recommends.
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.
My chrysler 300c hemi started idling rough and showing code p0300.oil/plugs were changed, and my car worked well for ~500 miles. After which the low oil level light chimmed. After taking to the dealer the oil pressure switch was replaced and all was right.close to a month later, while stopped at a rail crossing the car stalled with error code p1520.i checked the oil which was low and added to the correct level.in the oil, there was no discoloration or anything to cause alarm.i started the engine up and while the p1520 was gone i had the p0300.after removing the manifold small aluminum pieces where found inside. Plugs that were close to 4k miles old were ash covered and throttle body.valves and cylinder #3 head need to be replaced.
Approximately 2 months ago, vehicle started stalling after refueling. Every refuel since without fail the vehicle stalls. Stalling occurs within minutes after refueling and will stall 2-3 times in a 5 minutes period. The vehicle performs correctly once you get past this stage. Based on my research (internet) there have been many other 2006 chrysler products (incl town and country mini van) experiencing the same issues. It appears the separator valve at the top of the fuel tank is the culprit.
Vehicle often stalls after filling gas tank. Usually restarts right away. No check engine light.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that whenever she added fuel to the vehicle it failed to start. The contact was driving 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated and stalled. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing and they were unable to determine the cause of failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. The current mileage was 60,000.
Car stalls after filling at gas station due to flooding or other issue.dealer would not admit its a problem.happened approx 4 times where i stalled in traffic and almost was rear ended.had to drive vehicle in parking lot accelerating 8 times to burn off fuel before it was safe to drive while car shuddered.cannot fill up tank anymore.was told i need a new tank but there was a 6 month back order due to all the people requesting new tanks.
My 2006 chrysler 300c is burning a lot of gas. I don't know why,maybe because it is a hemi. When my gas hand get to a mark are two before empty, you can smell the fuel from the tank. My complain is why are chrysler 300 burning so much gas?
After filling up the gas tank, the engine will stall several times. When idling at a light or stop sign and sometimes when traveling at low rpms. This engine has stalled when entering the parkway nearly being rear ended. This has occurred for the past two monthsseveral times, only when i fill up the gas tank.
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 approximate failure mileage 25,000 and approximate current mileage was 26,000.updated 9/4/13
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 toreport something worse than just the car stalling.
After filling up with gas the car stalled when exiting the gas station in front of oncoming vehicles.we were nearly rear ended.the car again stalled at the next stop light, then again while merging onto the freeway.we had a full tune up performed on the car thinking that this was the cause, however the car continued to stall after a fill up.we are now forced to limit refueling the car to only one half tank to be sure that the extremely dangerous stalling does not occur putting our family in extremely dangerous situations.the stalling occurred again just this week after accidentally allowing the fuel pump to click off producing a full gas tank.even knowing that we were now in a dangerous situation we were forced to drive the car on public streets where once again it stalled exiting the gas station, at the stop light and shortly after trying to accelerate from the stop light leaving our family stranded in the middle of the intersection.
After filling gas tank. Engine stalled and cut-off.
After refueling my 2006 chrysler 300c it would shut off at highway speed. The car would shut off at a stop light or stop signthis happens only when the car is refueled. This has caused many safety issues because of the oncoming traffic and the car stalling in the intersection.
Engine stalls after refueling at very low speeds and or if i have stopped for any reason. Over the years i have replaced all contiguous parts to the fuel system with the exception of the 19 gal fuel tank. This same problem appears on many internet owner forums.
On april 9th at approximately 6:00 p.m. I filled my car with fuel until the pump shut off.after replacing the fuel lid i drove about 1/4 mile and stopped at a traffic light to make a left turn.almost as soon as i stopped the engine started to run rough, as if it were running out of fuel and stopped.i placed the car in neutral, started the engine and drove another block before stopping at another traffic signal.again, the engine sputtered and stopped.i got it started and reached park manor nursing home and shut the engine off while i went to visit.when i left the nursing home, i went down the driveway and about 1/8 mile to a 5 lane intersection that had a traffic signal.the engine sputtered and stopped again just as the light turned green.i had to quickly put the car in neutral to restart it then carefully let off the gas pedal enough to put the gear shift back in "d" and drive away.this was the first time i experienced any engine stops, but it seems to be pretty dangerous, since you cannot predict when it will happen and nothing seemed to trigger the faults.each time the engine stopped, i noticed the oil pressure indicator was displayed and watched it rise to normal when the engine started again.
Vehicles sputters, stalls and dies after filing fuel tank.chrysler entered into an extended warranty program to resolveyour inquiry pe13-016. Chrysler agreed as a result of that inquiry to extend a lifetimefuel -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.
I was exiting a highway via an off ramp. When i came to a stop at the intersection the engine stalled out. After several attempts the engine restarted and the car drove normally. I had filled up the gas tank at prior to this incident.
After refueling, engine stalls at any speed.car dies while at highway speeds (70mph).car may be restarted by shifting to neutral or park.this is very dangerous at highway speeds (requires shifting to neutral and restarting while car is moving.sometimes the engine just shuts off for a couple of seconds but then, continues to run.at highway speeds, the problem persist for about 5 to 8 miles after refueling.after that, the problem does not recur until the next refueling.if the tank is partially refilled, that is, the gas pump is turned of when the tank is ~full, the problem does not occur.problem has been consistently recurring for about the past 4 years.
In may 2013, the nhtsa began an investigation (pe13-016) into numerous complaints about engine stalling in 2006 chrysler vehicles equipped with 5.7l 8-cylinder engines. In february 2014, chrysler announced that it had developed improved parts to address this problem, and would extend the warranty period on 19-gallon fuel tanks to lifetime coverage for the 153,817 affected vehicles. In february 2014 the nhtsa accepted this solution proposed by chrysler and closed the investigation.chrysler sent me an email on march 13,2014 informing me, without explanation, that they would not honor their agreement withthe nhtsa, and would not provide a lifetime warranty for my 2006 chrysler 300c fuel tank.
After filling the car when we begin to accelerate the car stalls.we have repeatedly asked the dealerships if they have had complaints and they said "no".finally, on 2/14/14 we saw on the news that chrysler is extending the fuel warranty to lifetime due to a defect in the fuel tank causing stalling after filling.we again have contacted chrysler dealerships and chrysler complaint center and they said because there isn't a recall they can't fix it.how can this be if they agreed to a lifetime warranty on the fuel system.the dealership said they don't have a part to replace until there is a recall.the complaint center said they can't help us if there isn't a recall. We also have an article from the detroit news on 2/18/14 that states that the ntl highway traffic safety commission ended its investigation after chrysler and a supplier developed a solution to the problem extending lifetime warranty coverage.is there anything your dept. Can do to help consumer?why should we have to wait for someone to ram us in the backend entering a freeway because our car stalls?
After fueling vehicle, vehicle stalls and takes a minute to restart. This complaint is entered multiple times under pe13-016 and chrysler isn't meeting its obligations.
After refueling, the car stalled while making a left hand turn onto a busy highway. All the engine lights came on. Car was hard to restart. At the next intersection while the car was stopped, it stalled again. This continued to happen intermittently over the years. Had it looked at by chrysler while still under extended warranty, they said they could find nothing wrong. Lately, this has happened every time we put gas inthe car. If driving on the expressway after a fill up, sometimes the car will sputter and temporarily loose acceleration.
2006 chrysler 300c - after fueling up got about 1/2mile down the road engine just cut out (not electrical as i didn't loose dash lights) just like the engine stopped for a few seconds and came back on. Thought it was a fluke and kept going and it happened again twice, turned around and took the car home happened a couple more times while trying to get home. Haven't driven the car since and that was 5 days ago.
Re: extending warranty on 19-gallon fuel tank to life-time coverage for 2006 chrysler 300c vehicles equipped with 5.7l 8-cylinder hemi engines that may stall after refueling.(see pe13-016).allpar.com reported today that chrysler spokesman [xxx] confirmed that the lifetime warranties for the affected vehicles "will be in place in mid-april". Looks like chrysler is finally honoring its agreement reported by nhtsa (pe13-016) in february 2014.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After filling the car up with fuel the car stalled and had to be restarted after stopping at a traffic lights. It also sputtered and wanted to quit running at approximately 55 mph. The car was taken to lustine chrysler, dodge, jeep, and ram ltd. In woodbridge. We were told the fuel tank and carbon canister needs replaced because some flapper is bad allowing fuel to enter the canister on fill-ups.
I filled up my chrysler 300 just after buying it for the first time. After fill up i pulled away from the gas station and got to the stop light and it stalled. I restarted it and it would not go into gear at first but after a minute it did. Went for about hundred feet and it stalled again in front of my house. Then the next morning it ran fine until i filled it up again and it did the same thing stalled right after i filled it with gasi checked with the local dealer and they said they are aware of this problem and that it is an issue with the design of the gas tank and purge valve that only can be corrected by replacement of the fuel tank. I checked online and this an issue hashappened for many owners and they have been told the same thing by theredealers. It is a factory design error that only be corrected by the fuel tank replacement as well as the purge valve. The reason it stalls is that when filled up the tank and purge vale floods the throttle body with raw fuel and the car stallsthis stalling can cause an accident very easy as well as effecting the emissions of the vehicle. I feel that chrysler should issue a recall for this defect which i understand has effected the dodge charger as well as the challenger.
My husband filled up the tank on 110413 (already had 1/4 tank).i drove to and from work, but once i backed into the yard the vehicle would not crank again.as i revved the engine the car would act like it would continue running after the initial start up, but as soon as i took my foot off of the accelerator the car cut off.i had to have the car towed to a chrysler dealership, but no one mentioned the issues that customers have been having with this specific vehicle (2006 300c with hemi). Vehicle is currently in the shop and the mechanic mentioned it might be the engine... Oh really!!!!!
After refueling (not over-filling) the vehicle stalls, bucks while in motion, dealerships could not diagnose the reason. This happens every time the tank is filled to the point the gas pump kicks off. The dealer suggests the solution is to not fill the tank, which is a tactic that does work if you can predict how fuel you can pump before the shut-off. This is a safety issue because the stalling is not immediate and will often occur without warning once you have entered moving traffic. On line forums show this to be a wide spread problem with 300c owners. Apparently, many dealers are now suggesting the fuel tank be replaced as a solution. It is unknown if this actually solves the problem. On several occasions where this occurred i have narrowly avoided being rear ended by following traffic. I cannot imagine that no accidents have not been caused by this problem..
The first time i stalledwas after filling up my tank ,i was leaving the gas station, i was in the right lane of on coming traffic when it stalled, nearly getting hit by an on coming car.since that time it has stalled at least six times. I went to my chrysler dealer who claims they had no knowledge of this problem. It happened again two days later while on a busy highway.i was making a left turn into a shopping center when it stalled , leaving me in the far left lane of on comingtraffic. I immediately went to the chrysler dealership and reported it again at which time i was informed there was still no recall on the car and i was told i would have to leave it. I am going back to the dealership on 5/30/13 (hilton head chrysler, hwy 278 ,fording island rd,.,hardeville, sc)
After filling up with fuel, the engine stalled shortly after. This has occurred on a regular basis when filling the fuel tank using regular unleaded gas. Several complaints duplicate this occurrence.
Car stalls after refueling. It will stall whether idling or driving. Takes 4 or so tries to restart vehicle. Happens almost every time. I do not overfill or fill when car is running. Brought car to dealer who could not recreate problem and computer diagnostics showed no issues. I called chrysler directly and they claim they have never heard of this problem and cannot help unless dealer can recreate. The only problem is that it only happens after filling up, which the dealer did 1 time and of course it didn't happen.
When i fill up my 2006 chrysler 300c5.7 hemi it will stall/engine shuts off while driving down the street. Acts like it could be vapor lock. It's take a few tries to start after this happens. I will be in the middle-of-the-road. There has been a few close calls.it happens every time i fill up with gas. I am scared to pull out into traffic just because my car will sometimes stall. I've taken my car to mechanics and the dealership nobody seems to know what the problem is.
2006 chrysler 300c stalls after fill up. Car is hard to start up after it stalls, it will stall a couple times again and than it will be ok until next fill up.can not get more than 1/2 mile gas station.lucky i was able to get out of traffic without any problem. This problem started a little over a year ago, went to dealer, they could not find a problem with my car. They recommended to clean injectors, did this, it didn't help. Last 3 fill up have been the same problem.
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 a 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 start and then finally started. The only light that came on (after the car shut itself off) was the oil like. My oil is completely full. Was just changed a month ago using synthetic. I had a mechanic look at it and was told that there was nothing wrong with it.
After refilling my gas tank to full, my engine stalls forcing me to pull over and restart my engine.this occurs only after refilling my gas tank and last for about the first 10 miles or so. Another key point is that it only happens at low rpm usually while i'm decelerating between 5~10mph.i see that these symptoms have been reported by many people.it appears chrysler has an extended warranty, but when i've called the (800#) and visited my local service department they have no understanding of chryslers acknowledgment. Is this a true extended warranty? why was this investigation closed?
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.
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.
My car started stalling and choking for 2-3 minutes after filling up the gas tank. It actually turns off 2-3 times with-in a block or two of the gas station and sometimes there is a 3-10 second delay when i shift from p or n into d.this first started in august and continues to happen.i've changed gas stations and it continues to happem
I filled up my car with premium fuel (as always) and stopped the fill at the first click of the gas pump.i started my car and reset my trip information into my computer and put it in drive and got on the 59 north feeder road.it started jerking like the engine was cutting out so i slowed down and when i slowed down it completed died on the feeder road.i started back up and it missed a couple of times and died again at the red light.it seems that if you are on an open stretch of road going over 30 or 40 it won't die - but will cut out and jerk really bad.this has happened another 10-15 times since then.i stopped filling the car up and just put in 3/4 tank.my husband will forget and fill it up and it does this every time you fill the car up.it has died in the middle of the road as i was leaving a gas station, it has died in intersections after leaving a red light.very frustrating and dangerous!
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.
2006 chrysler 300c engine: 5.7 liter spmi engine shutting down anywhere from 0-40mph. It could occur with the air conditioning on, happening when turning left or right, which would bring the miles per hour below 40mpr.so actually whatever you would do to bring the speed limit below 40mph is of no real importance.the rest of the things would not be worth mentioning because anything you did to bring the miles per hour below 40 is all that is important (it even would stop at a stop sign).if it was safe to accelerate you could stop the shut down.it never stopped or tried to stop at high speeds.common denominator on engine shutdown appeared to be a full tank of gas or relatively full tank of gas.problem started prior to october 2008 before taking to dealer to diagnose (final repair done june 27, 2009).multiple diagnostics later the problem appears fixed; using a 'black box' for the car the dealer finally replaced (after replacing multiple parts of the engine and computer components):(from dealer invoice)replace retainer, gas tank, canister, selenoid-proportional, o ring-fuel pump and leve, retainer, pin.description of problem on last invoice:took multiple recordings of multiple sensors, powers, grounds, evap system, etc. Read recordings found most common evap purge when engine dies. Removed evap canister to check for fuel liquid, none.reinstalled canister, plugged off purge system. Had driven for several miles to see if vehicle stumbles, drove with no problems.replaced gas tank and transferred needed parts.flow control valve not sealing, replaced canister, saturated with fuel. Replaced purge solenoid, also saturated. Recheck ok.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 mph, the engine stalled without prior warning. The vehicle restarted then the failure recurred. In addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated two weeks after the first failure. The vehicle was diagnosed by an authorized dealer who replaced the faulty vacuum canister and fuel tank. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 51,069.updated 6/27/14
After fill up engine shut off five times in traffic.
After filling the car a chrysler 300c stalls.this is now an ongoing problem as the car now stalls after fueling.the stall occurs mostly when stopped at a red-light or driving at a low rate of speed.it has now progressed to include when accelerating onto a interstate.the stall causes all safety systems to fail ie. Breaks, steering, et.i have called the local dealership and the chrysler hotline 800-992-1997 and was informed that the national highway traffic safety administration, chrysler will extend fuel-tank warranties does not apply to 2006 chrysler 300c models.i was told the malfunctioning shut-off float and gas tank neck splash issue is not covered.
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![xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After filling up gas tank to capacity, vehicle stalled after driving for approximately one mile because fuel flooded the engine. The vehicle restarted after several attempts but vehicle continued to stall after a mile. I took vehicle to an authorized dealer who stated that the fuel tank needed to be replaced.the fuel tank was replaced but i am still concerned that this problem could have caused a crash resulting in a lot of damage and possible death. The vehicle only had 26,100 miles.
Re: pe-13-016 covering 2006 chrysler 300c vehicles with 5.7 l hemi engines that may stall after refuelingi spoke today by phone with "[xxx]", a supervisor with chrysler customer assistance (1-800-992-1997 and 1-905-440-7694). He told me that contrary to the announcement in odi resume (pe13-016), chrysler did not begin mailing letters in january 2014 to the 153,817 owners of affected vehicles extending the warranty period on 19-gallon fuel tanks to lifetime coverage, he told me that the mailing (inot-pe130016-58863.pdf) would in fact begin in april 2014. Owners of the 153,817 affected vehicles should look to receive this letter in april 2014.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Engine stalls when the fuel tank is full.
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.
Upon fill up of gas tank until pump auto shuts off, when driving away from gas station, vehicle will constantly stall and not start, vehicle will shut off unexpectedly in the middle of traffic, this became very dangerous when it happened in the middle of an intersection with my children in the car.i had the gas tank, fuel pump, evap pump, charcoal canister all replaced by galeanas dodge in warren mi.all expenses were on me.the parts used were the exact same ones that came from the factory, no superseded parts were used or updated.i know this is a very common problem with many others who drive a similarly equipped vehicle.
After filling tank, the car stalled on exit from gas station.the car stalled a few miles later after stopping and then trying to go.filling the tank with gasoline has become extremely slow since then.20 to 30 minutes to fill the tank.most recently on 3/4/2014, the car stalled again when stopped at red light.the stalling and slow fill have been continuing since november 2013 and happening more frequently recently.the nhsta has a case number pe13016 which describes exactly my situation as a defective fuel tank valve.in that case, chrysler has agreed to extended warranty on gas tanks for 2006 chrysler c cars in the case file write up, but both the dealer and customer service do not acknowledge the existence of the case findings or the problem itself.i am hoping the nhtsa will stand behind their findings and support the completion of manufacturers solution.right now chrysler does not appear to be honoring its solution.
My vehicle will stall out on me intermittently. It mostly happens right after i get finished putting gas in my car. Unlike most other stories i've read about overfilling the gas tank, this happens to me sometimes when i put just a half of a tank of gas in my car. Now, as of nov. 7, 2013, it's done it well over 100 times; that's since the first time it happened in may. The dealership is a complete scam. They know this is a defect. They've charged me to fix everything from egr valves to pcms to spark plugs. Nothing has worked.then finally i decide to do some deep research, that's when i decided to file my complaint. There are 2 major issues i have. When at highway speeds, i'll lose all power and throttle response for a split second, then it'll kick back in. It's extremely dangerous, to say the least. The more frequent problem, is the car completely cutting off while either at idle, or traveling at a lower speed. Both situations happen almost always directly after i put gas in my car. This happens so much that it is becoming unbearable. Sometime it starts back up, and sometimes i have to wait a minute or two. It's ridiculous. I don't mind paying to have my car serviced. However, diagnose the problem, know that's the problem, and let's get it fixed. Don't run me through $3,000 worth of repairs, knowing that you've got countless others with the same model and model year, coming in around the same time, complaining about the same problem. You know what it is. That's no coincidence. And quite frankly, it's fraudulent. I've got my 5 year old son riding in the back seat. What happens the next time my car stalls out on the highway and loses power, with another car tailgating me? what if it's a tractor trailer next time? will they have enough time to brake or plow into the back of me? more unnecessary stress and worry for the loyal consumer. Thanks chrysler.
After re-fueling, the vehicle experiences multiple stall conditions while on the road.this condition has occurred multiple times and can occur both while driving and while stopped at a light. I've noticed that this more frequently occurs when you fill up the tank to the point that the auto shut off on the gas nozzle is tripped.the car gives no warning that its about to experience an issue until the car completely shuts off, most likely while you're already on the road.right now the only way to combat this problem is to not fill up the car more than 3/4 of the tank.this method keeps the driver guessing as to how much gas should be pumped, and causes more frequent fill ups as you're not using 1/4 of the gas tank capacity.this is a very dangerous condition, and its one that should be communicated to all 300c owners immediately.
For the past two years, my 2006 chrysler 300c has been surging, trying to cut out, and stalling at the first several stop lights after filling the tank up with gas.car stalls or tries to stall several more times while driving in traffic.have come to realize that car will not do this if i only fill the tank up to 3/4 full, but if the tank is filled more than that, the same problem occurs after fill up.the car will try to stall when stopping at several of the first traffic lights, driving after restarting, or driving around curves.this seems rather dangerous driving like this in traffic.i just learned about the nhtsa pe13-016 that chrysler had extended the warranty for the 19 gallon gas tanks to lifetime.i have also learned that chrysler is only honoring a limited amount of vehicles whose owners had filed complaints before the investigation was ended.it appears chrysler is not meeting it's obligation.i am the original owner of this car and have never received a letter from chrysler dealing with any recall for this car.
The contact 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.
The car will hesitate and stall unexpectedly.it seems to occur only immediately after refueling.after driving a few miles, the problem seems to go away.internet chatter seems to indicate a bad evap solenoid/canister.apparently this is part of the entire fuel tank and is 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.
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.
I was on the entrance ramp to route 495s, about to enter the highway, with cars behind me, and the engine stalled. This was particularly dangerous for myself and other drivers because there was no break-down lane at the end of the entrance ramp. You go directly onto the highway. If i was on the highway when the car stalled there was nowhere for me or the cars behind me to go. They would have had to attempt to stop, too.one of the restart issues with this car is that it must be stopped and in park before you can restart the engine. It is not possible to restart the car while it is moving.
Immediately after refueling, my car stalled three times on my drive home, each time when i was traveling about 5 mph approaching a stop sign. Since then, i have driven about 200 miles and have had no stalling problem. I took my car to a local chrysler dealer and they could find no computer code error, and told me that i needed a new fuel tank, chrysler received more than 1200 complaints about the 19-gallon fuel tank on 2006 chrysler 300c, a problem where the fuel shut-off valve sticks, causing the vehicle to stall after refueling. In response to these complaints, chrysler agreed to extend the warranty period to lifetime coverage. I called chrysler customer service today. They refused to honor the extended warranty for my 19-gallon fuel tank as they agreed to in their letter -pe1016-58863.pdf.
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-guarded decline. Vehicle will stall and surge while in idle as well. I have been able to replicate this issue reliably 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!!!
I bought my car new in march 2006 and i am the only owner/driver.i do like my car and will buy another chrysler 300c.when the car was new i had several stalling issues where the car would stall at low speeds or while sitting at a traffic light.i do not recall if it was after refueling.i took the car to the dealer and no "codes" were found and the dealer could not replicate the problem.the car than ran perfectly for six years with no stalling issues.all maintenance has been performed including new spark plugs as recommended by chrysler.starting earlier this year the stalling restarted and it only happens after i fill the car with fuel. I have tried several other gas stations and ran some fuel injection cleaner through the fuel system.i do not top off the tank when filling the car up.at one point the stalling occurred after every fill up and now it is not as often (every other fill up).after filling the tank the car starts normally and as i exit the gas station and stop to check to merge into traffic the car will stumble and stall.it restarts and will stall again if i don't keep the engine rpm's up.sometimes after i fill up and quickly merge into traffic (and not allow the car to fall to idle speed) while accelerating up to 25-40 mph the car will stumble and it feels like it is not getting fuel.it does not stall because the car is gaining speed and then clears up after a "surge" and then runs fine till the next fill up cycle.i am careful about pulling out in heavy traffic after fill ups out of fear of it stalling.
For the past several months, every time i fill up with gas, my car dies several times before i get home, which is about 5 miles from the gas station. Sometimes it will speed up without me pushing the accelerator just before it dies. It dies before i get out of the gas station, sometimes. Other times it dies as i pull to a stop at the light 1,000 feet from the gas station. The most recent occurrence was 2 days ago. I've had it to the dealership service department twice for this, but they can't find anything wrong. The fill up before this last one, i only filled the tank half full, and it didn't die, so it must be something to do with filling it all the way up. I don't top the tank off, either.
The car has been stalling out after being started. Now it is almost shutting off or becoming unresponsive mid acceleration from a stop sign.the car will at random stall. The engine does not need to be restarted so far while driving. It will "die" for a few seconds and then comes back again just short of complete engine shut down. Rear window on passenger side is also non responsive.it has only worked once since i have had the car.
I had just filled up the tank and pulled across the street and into a parking lot. As i was pulling into a parking spot the car died. I was able to get it restarted after about three attempts. After leaving the store i drove home and it died on me at the end on the parking lot as i was pulling into traffic. It died once more as i was driving through a residential area at approx. 25 mph. After i got it home, i allowed it to idle in the driveway for about 5 minutes with no problem. After eating dinner i took it for a drive and it happened again at an intersection. It died and took about five attempts to get it restarted. Updated 10/1/2014
Car stalled after refueling.runs sluggish.
After i purchased my 2006 chrysler 300c on july 6th, 2013, the salesman filled the car up with gas.he had the car running & before i could get in the car, it switched itself off, not once but twice. The next incident was after the first time i filled my car with gas, which was july 26th, i drove to my next stop & my car switched off while pulling into a parking place.the next time was july 29th, my husband filled the car up & the car switched off twice!!!the next time was the next day, july 30th, i was at a red light & the car switched off.i have not made the 1st payment on the car, however, i am concerned with this major safety issue!!!
My 2006 chrysler 300 stalls after i fill it with gas.this happened to me a number of times.i now longer can fill my gas tank.this is a dangerous problem as the car stalls while i am driving it.it stalled on me on the fwy.luckily for me, there was heavy traffic and i was going 35 mph.i have been told i need a new gas tank which would cost me over 1000 dollars.there is a los angeles time article dated may 14,2013 which indicates nearly 200,000 complaints regarding 2006 300c, dodge charger and dodge magnum of having this problem.chrysler needs to do a recall on these vehicles.updated 03/12/14
After filling the gas tank to full, stopping after the pump clicks off the first time, the vehicle stalled after running for around 5 minutes. Restarted vehicle and same thing happened two more times. Vehicle continuesto do this regularly.
Purchased a 2006 300c srt8 in 2014.this is the 2nd time that this has happened. After the 1st refueling the car stalled and bucked and then after a few miles calmed down. I thought perhaps it was bad gas.during the 2nd refueling, with 93 octane, and just as the fuel clicked off, the engine stalled. No check engine light in either situation. The car was worse than the last time. The car stalled at each light all the way home. This happened approximately 4 times and then it stalled again as i parked it in my driveway.i called the local dealer concerning this and they said they are only ordering 6 replacement gas tanks a month and that 95% of the time an additional flex pipe or tube breaks during the repair procedure and that i would be responsible for this additional cost.what kind of a deal is that?i thought warranty work was to be at no cost to the consumer.
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.
Vehicle stalls after refueling aprox 0.5miles after departing fuel station. Vehicle has stalled on approach to freeway and in potentially fatal situations. Feel unsafe driving vehicle due to continued problems. Suspect recall should be done since this seems to be a bigger problem.
Engine stalled and stopped working as coming out of gas station after filling up.steering went hard and brakes did not work, warning light (lube oil can) came up. Turned ignition off and on again, engine started but kept stalling.jerks violently when moving slowly 0 to 20 mph , the engine continued to stall during deceleration or when stopped for the next 3 miles.stalling occurs within minutes after refueling and will stall 2-3 times in a 5 minute period. The vehicle performs correctly once you get past this stage.multiple occurrences - all after filling tank.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300 c. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle and driving 30 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The contact stated that the failure only occurred when he could completely refuel the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the fuel tank needed to the replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 43,000. Updated 02/27/14*ljupdated 02/27/14updated 2/26/14
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.
I backed my vehicle out of the driveway, headed downhill to the intersection.i stopped at the stop sign, as i accelerated leaving the stop sign, the vehicle stalled out.i placed the shifter in neutral and restarted the vehicle.drove to the next intersectionand the vehicle did the same thing.after the initial problem i drove the vehicle to the dealership, where i purchased the vehicle.the vehicle was, and is, still under warranty.the dealership diagnosed the problem to be a failed throttle control and brake pedal assembly, estimated cost of around $1,000.they would not say for sure if the repairs would fix the problem.these repairs would not be covered by my extended warranty.my vehicle has stalled out sporadically this past several months, sometimes in heavy traffic, where i could easily be rear ended.my vehicle has the 5.7 liter hemi v8 engine with automatic transmission.
Vehicle stalled while turning into a parking lot within 3 miles after refueling (full tank). Fortunately, no other vehicles were ahead of me, and i was able to safely coast into a parking space straight ahead. As described by other owners, i lost all power "everything" steering, etc. Vehicle restarted after a brief period, and i was able to drive home. Took the vehicle to the dealership for repairs. Dealership immediately suspected the trouble was related to a full fuel tank and failing vapor vent valve in the fuel tank. I'm paraphrasing here but as i understood it, liquid fuel was breaching the vent valve when typically only vapors are vented. Remedy: replace the fuel tank. An expensive solution for what is seemingly a defect experienced by many owners. The fuel tank had to be special ordered, and once the part arrived, i was to bring the vehicle back with as little fuel as possible in the tank. On more than one occasion, i couldn't time the return to the dealership with my appointment so i had to refuel the vehicle. I purposely did not fill the fuel tank to full, and consequently, did not experience any subsequent stalling until i could return the vehicle for servicing.
Stalls after i fill up and jerks violently when moving slowly 0 to 20 mph and hesitates when driving 30 and over if i don't drive around drive around in a parking lot for apx 10 min it will stop in traffic and possibly causing a rear end collision.
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 foundon 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.
After fueling the chrysler 300c the car will crank just fine and run for a minute or so but then stalls out. This scenario continues for about 5 to 8 times before it is safe to get back on the road. It has also died while driving shortly after fueling causing the power steering to stop making it extremely difficult to steer the car off the road to safety. This is very upsetting and unsafe for my family. There seems to be no good answer for this problem.
Within a minute or so of refueling, the engine stalled and, consequently, the power steering and power brakes failed. The car would re-start with little difficulty only to stall again very shortly thereafter. Eventually, after perhaps 10 minutes of starts/stalls, and re-starts, operation would return to normal. At the time of the first occurrence, i had no reason to believe that this problem was related to refueling. However, the problem has since recurred with every refueling (at least 4 refuelings so far), resulting in numerous engine stalls in traffic. Apart from these refueling-related incidents the car runs perfectly, and my local mechanic has said that "the car's computer" indicates all systems are normal. A google search on my problem, however, suggests that the problem is extremely common in chrysler 300cs of a similar vintage.
My family and i were traveling 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 trustedand 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.
After filling my gas tank, at 1/2 a tank, i pulled away from the pump and the car stalled. After restarting i continued on my way. Every time i slowed down for traffic, or a stop sign, or traffic light, the car stalled. This happened 6-8 times on my way home where the car was parked until the next day. After starting, the engine "spitted, and spurted" on acceleration. It then smoothed out, and ran fine, until this latest incident.also, the last time the car was fueled, it would not accept gas, the hose kept shutting off. Tried another pump, same result, went to another gas station, same result.
After leaving the gas station (filling the tank) the car sputtered a few times, then as i approached a stop light it stalled out.i pulled away okay but it stalled again at the next light.after getting gas, the car is hesitant while driving and stalls out, usually lasting for 1-3 miles.
Exactly like the situations described in the nhtsa investigation (pe13-016), my 2006 chrysler 300c 5.7l engine has stalled at low speeds on numerous occasions after refueling.my local dealer's service department informed me that my vin is not included in the ??select?? vehicles that have been given extended warranties by chrysler group llc in response to pe13-016.in order to correct the problem with my vehicle, the entire gas tank needs to be replaced.i contacted chrysler customer service and they also informed me that there is no extended warranty on the fuel tank of my vehicle because it was manufactured in a different plant than the vehicles identified with pe13-016.clearly there is an malfunction with the multifunction control valve (mfcv) fuel shutoff float at more than one manufacturing location.although the nhtsa investigation determined that it is not a safety issue, the last time i refueled and pulled onto the street, the engine stalled and i was nearly involved in an accident.it stalled 2 more times during the same incident before it would drive more than a short distance.it is just a matter of time before there is an injury or fatality due to this malfunction.the car is not drivable if i am unable to refuel and drive without the risk of injury to myself or others.
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
On 2 occasions, 09/30/13 and 10/02/13 i filled my vehicle up with gas and within a mile of the gas station it started missing real bad and then shut off, once while merging onto interstate 95 and the other time on a less traveled road. On both occasions i was fortunate enough to pull to the shoulder and restart the vehicle. I took the vehicle to whitten bros chrysler (richmond, va) a few days later and i was told that the gas canister was contaminated and needed to be replaced along with a detector and solenoid, total cost of $516 and was told thegas tank needed to be replaced because of a defective valve in the tank. Seems the valve was stuck open and allowing gas to overflow into the canister. Since the valve is part of the tank and cannot be replaced a complete tank is needed at a cost of $1200 to $1500. The next week i called the service advisor at whitten brothers, [xxx] , and told her to go ahead and order the tank. She said it would take 3-5 days to be received and would call me when it was in. That night i read an article about a gas tank problem on the 2006 vehicles like mine and saw that if you did not fill the tank you should not have a problem with it shutting off. I figured for the amount of money i was going to have to spend i would go this route so i called and cancelled the order for the tank. I was told the tank order could not be cancelled but they would keep it in inventory. I have only put 600 miles on the vehicle since all this happened and have only put gas in it twice but did not fill it either time, only enough to get the gauge to about 3/4. I have to rememberwhen i loan the vehicle to one of my sons to tell them whatever they do please do not fill the tank if they put gas in it.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Vehicle stalls, multiple times after filling up with fuel.
Over the last couple months after refueling my vehicle the vehicle stalls. It has become a given that after i fill my car i know at some point within the first 5-10 minutes i will start having propulsion issues. The car dies when i'm sitting at traffic lights. I'm afraid to try and enter a freeway directly after refueling because if i go to hit the gas it's an accident waiting to happen. I have to go find a parking lot and rev my engine for a while till i think it's safe to proceed. I should have to go through all of this after refueling my car. I did some research and saw the complaints and nhtsa reports. I called chrysler and they said they don't have any records of any fuel issues with the srt models so my best bet would be to go to my dealer for a diagnostic check.
I drove to the gas station, and when i was driving around the corner the car stalled. I was going around 20 miles per hour. I tried turning the car back on after a few times and it just wouldn't start. After a few minutes i managed to start the car back on and i drove in a near by shopping center. As i pulled up the car stalled once again. I decided to wait about ten more minutes before starting the car again and it failed to start. I waited an additional 20 minutes and finally it started with a little hesitation.this has happened to me several times now.
Car stalled in middle of intersection. Other cars nearly struck me from rear. Stalled after restart, blocking intersection. This has happened several times, nearly resulting in accidents. Always occurs immediately after filling gas tank.
Engine stalled for first time less than 2 miles after fill up at 25 mph on city street. Immediately loss power assist of both steering and brakes. Car weights 4040 lbs and i had a difficult time pulling into a parking lot and getting the car stopped. Car was immediately restarted. No future problems until nearly every refill when it stalls within first few seconds or 2 miles. Car now has 79550 miles.my wife drives this most frequently but i always fill the gas tank. I told her when it stalls, steer straight, put car in neural, restart,and hope you do not have to stop quickly.in nhtsa action number pe13016 chrysler's [xxx] letter aug 9, 2013 last page 17 states "if astall after refuel conditions occurs, the vehicle has functioning steering and brake systems". True but with out power assist on steering and brakes car is very difficult to control. Most women and small men would have difficulty safely stopping car.chrysler concludes this issue poses and minor risk to vehicle safety. I am a retired mechanical engineer and worked 40 years with power trains and strongly disagree.in this review vehicles 5, 6, and 7 all had problems with swollen refueling floats allowing the floats to stick and not function properly. All three cars were 2006 300c with 5.7 liter hemi engines the same as mine..on a11.page 15, chrysler acknowledges the vent valves was changed for my 2007. This appears to acknowledge a poor or faulty design in my 2006.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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.
Experienced several occurrences of engine stalling after filling tank with gas.engine died when stopped at a stop light and also while driving at about 10 miles per hour.
We had just filled the gas tank and were heading off to las vegas for a long weekend when as we drove less than a block away the car stalled. This never happened before, we restarted the car and she continued to jerk around acting like it was going to stall again. We were very close to a pep boys so we pulled in and told the clerk what was happening, he said we maybe got bad gas (maybe watered down) and to try a gas treatment. We did and it stalled again, we restarted the car and drove cautiously around town testing her reliability. She seemed fine so we drove on to vegas. She performed well for a few weeks then did it again after filling the tank so again we added gas treatment and things seemed fine. A month or so later the same thing again with the stalling after fueling. So far this has happened approximately 8 times since the first time and only after fueling. We are nervous to drive anywhere now. We have used various gas stations so not any particular brand makes this happen. It can go for several weeks without incident but we just never know when it may occur again.we looked it up online to see if anyone else was having similar problems and found that owners of chrysler 2006 300c and magnums and chargers all experienced the same thing. Pe13-016 was referenced as the original investigation number into these occurrences. Chrysler supposedly issued a lifetime extended warranty for this problem but only to those affected and notified them prior to jan. 2014. The rest of us are screwed. I am asking for this investigation to be reopened. Chrysler needs to be fair to all owners of these vehicles with this defect. I am the original owner and have taken excellent care of my car. Many people have stated that chrysler is not acknowledging their complaints since the investigation is closed. Your help is needed to correct this injustice.
After filling the gas tank full i drove the car 1-2 miles and stopped at a traffic light and when i went to accelerate to go forward the engine completely died. I coasted to a stop just past the intersection and was able to re-start it. The same thing happened about a mile further down the road only this time i was not stopped, but driving and accelerating and it died and i was forced to coast to a stop and restart the engine. The problem continued for several days and then stopped. It happened again the next time i filled the gas tank up with very similar issues, and again stopped after the gas tank had used several gallons of fuel. I took it to the dealer and was informed that they would have to replace the gas tank (at a cost of $1600). The technician then told me that if i kept the gas tank at 75% full and not completely fill it i would have no problems. He was right, since these events in december of 2012 i have only filled it to 75% full and have had no problems. I am reporting this because i read in the dallas morning newson 05/16/2013 that this model of chrysler is being investigated for the problem i have told you of. The description/symptoms listed in the news release seemed to match mine and i am therefore reporting it.
I have had this car for 7 years, never had an issue. On february 23,2014 i went to shell and filled up the car with $49.00. I do not remember if i ever filled the car up before. I'm sure i have but i usually put 20/30 bucks in. But i just found out about stop n shop gas savings and received a discount. I tried to put 50 in but it only took 49.00. I got back in the car and i tried to pull away from the pump and it shut down. I thought maybe it was a fluke since i was basically at a roll. I drove 2 blocks and at the traffic light it died. I proceeded to make a u-turn to return home. The car died 3 times in a 5 block span. I took the car to my cousin who had a computer, no codes came up but the car shut down twice. I parked the car and took out a different car. My cousin thought it was bad gas or a bad oil change which i had done on feb 22, 2014 i just returned home and googled,"chrysler 300c stalling" and found the article that this has been occurring, and here i am. I guess i will contact chrysler in the morning.
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.
Immediately after refuling car, departed gas station and car stalled completely when in middle of left hand turn into oncoming traffic.placed car in neutral and restarted it.departed and stopped at a stop sign 100 yards away from turn.car died again.placed car in neutral and restarted it.it ran slowly for 50 yards or so and died again while slowing down in traffic.restarted the car in trafficand it ran fine for 1/4 mile when it died completely again at a stop light.again, i restarted the car and was able to keep it going without stopping for 3-4 miles.have not had the problem since turning off the engine overnight.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that when the fuel tank was full, the engine would stall sporadically and recurring.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.
Our 2006 chrysler 300c dies after fueling the gas tank to full. It has died in intersections were we have almost been run into and in turns where is locks up and there is no power anything and have almost crashed. We have taken it to the dealership and continuously pay money to fix what they think it is and now for the third time they are asking for almost 1800 dollars to replace the tank. I can definitely see how this is a major problem and a huge safety issue.
I have had a problem with this car suddenly stalling after i fill it up with gas since i bought it. In 2006 chrysler thought it was the computer and replaced it under warranty. That did not work. I returned it many times. The only remedy was to never fill up the gas tank completely. I recently noticed the nhtsa announced the 19 gallon gas tank for the 2006 chrysler 300 would now have a life time warranty. I contacted the local dealership. They said my vin # was not included. Since my car is a 2006 chrysler 300 with a 19 gallon gas tank and i have had this problem for 8 years i am surprised my car would be one of those not covered. I would appreciate someone looking into this for me.
Drove approximately 3 miles to work, while pulling into parking spot car stalled and oil light on left came on! car would not restart. Tried to start it again later and it did, and no issue since.
This is not the first time this has happened. It started occurring 12000 miles ago. Today was the last straw. After filling my tank over this past year, i've learned that i can only fill my tank to 3/4 full to avoid the stalling and sputtering. This means i have to have my ignition turned on so that i can watch when the fuel gets to 3/4. This alone is a safety hazard as it could spark. Today i filled it to 3/4 forever it shut off at the pump just before it got to 3/4... When i started the car the full indicator was full. I knew this meant i would have a scary ride home. It stalled leaving the gas station and two more times while waiting at the first light. I made it about a mile and was making a right turn and it cut out at about 35. I was making the turn with no power and almost hit a pole. I put on my emergency flashers and was almost rear ended. Please explain why only selected vin numbers were selected against pe13-016. Looking online there are multiple complaints and i did not see any owners who's vins were covered. Where is a copy of this list and how many vins were on this list? chrysler needs to take a stand and own up to recalling all vins for this model make and year. I've never heard of a selected recall. I am documenting this safety concern everywhere i can as i am scared for my life and hope someone takes this seriously and quit blaming the owners of overfilling the tanks. This should not be a concern and it isn't with other models an make. Own up chrsyler!
I have been back to the dealer 5 times because the car stalls when making a sharp turn/u turn or hard stop/start. The car will stall and the esp/bass and oil lights come on. I lose power steering and power brakes. The car will not restart until the key has been turned completely off and then back on. The dealer always tells me it is operating normally. I finally gave up and was just living with it after the vehicle went out of warranty. It was only after i read another person's account online that i realized it was happening after a fuel fill (i do not top off my tank). After learning this, i can now make the car stall on demand. All i have to do is fill it until the pump shuts off, then make a hard turn back and forth and the car stalls. If you pull out from the gas station slowly and make no sharp movements, the car will not stall. The dangerous part of this is if you have to make an emergency maneuver after filling the tank, the car will stall.
In january 2013, i filed a vehicle safety complaint here about my v8 engine stalling after fuel refill(gasoline tank replacement repair bill was $1540.93).the nhtsa office of defects investigation soon opened investigation pe13016 into the fuel tank problem. The odi information request to chrysler cited numerous complaints, including mine. Investigation pe13016 was closed earlier this year by nhtsa because the "condition is adequately addressed by chrysler's extended warranty" on 2006 chrysler 300 fuel tanks.the closing summary refers to chrysler sending letters to owners about the extended warranty.since i did not receive an owner letter, i today called the chrysler customer assistance center, 1-800-247-9753.the assistance center representative told me that my vehicle is not within the extended warrantybecause my vehicle (built within the extended warranty time frame) contained a gas tank with the sales code "nsks" and that the extended warranty only covers cars built with the gas tank sales code "nsk." nothing in the materials posted online with pe13016 indicate that there are two different gas tanks, only one of which had problems. Please, reconsider whether the chrysler response is adequate. My vehicle, with the "nsks" gas tank, clearly suffered the refill stalling problem addressed in pe 13016.
I am terrified to drive my car!three times in the last 6 weeks, right after i fuel up, i leave the gas station and my car completely shuts down/off while i am driving.the lights on the dash come on, the engine stalls, i lose the ability to steer, and my car is "dead in the water".it is really frightening!it happened once when my husband was driving, and two more times when i was driving, but each time it was immediately after getting gas.luckily, these multiple stalling incidents have happened at lower speeds, but i am concerned about the car dying while i am on the freeway, as it would surely end up in a horrible accident.if other owners of a 2006 chrysler 300c hemi have had this issue, i feel that the manufacturer should resolve this issue through recalling these vehicles for repair before someone gets injured or killed.
Filled up tank for the first time since purchasing my 2006 chrysler 300c. (came from the dealership with a full tank) no more than 2 minutes of driving later the car began to shudder and lurch as if it were going to die. I was able to put it in neutral and keep it running but it was running rough. Continued on and pulled into a parking lot where the car died. I was able to restart it but it died shortly after. Restarted it again and was able to keep it running by giving it a little throttle. I began combing the internet and discovered this to be a fairly common issue after filling up. I limped the car home and siphoned a few gallons out. It seems to be running ok since then.
Stopped on the way home to fill up my gas tank.when the nozzle shut off, i removed the nozzle.i heard a gurgling sound in the tank which was unusual.i began driving out of the gas station through the adjacent parking lot and the engine died within 150 feet of driving. I restarted the engine and upon it died again within 15 feet. Re-started a third time and it stalled out and would not stay running.had the car towed to local repair shop and upon doing diagnostic tests found that the roll over valve in the fuel tank was bad which caused fuel to get into the evap vent hose which caused the engine to flood and stall out.solution is to replace the tank which is on back order til jan 30th (9 days from now). They are expecting in 130 tanks at the warehouse which is suggesting this issue is becoming more common.
After filling up gas tank to full (not overfilling - stop fueling once pump shuts off) and driving at slow speeds less than 5mph or at idle speed, car dies with no warning, engine light and oil light comes on. It takes several tries to re-start the car. Engine dies approximately 4+ times until it runs fine. This happens periodically, not everytime car is fueled up. I fill up at 1/2 tank twice a week. This incident occurs periodically - about once month. I have had the car die as i am crossing busy intersections, turning into a side road enough times that i have blocked traffic and have fear of being t-boned because the car dies without warning in the middle of crossing a street or when making a turn.
I filled up the car with gas and after driving about half a mile the engine stalled while in traffic. The car started and stalled repeatedly five or six times for about four blocks. At a certain point the problem stopped and the car was drivable. I took the car to a nearby auto shop and they found no error codes in the system. After leaving the auto shop the car continued to drive without stalling. Several weeks later i filled up with gas again and the problem repeated itself after driving about half a mile. The engine stalled about five times. It was more difficult to turn the engine over this time but it eventually started and drove fine.
Engine stalls several times while driving, shortly after refueling.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that shortly after refueling, the vehicle stalled while driving 5 mph. The contact was able to restart the vehicle, but it stalled again shortly thereafter.the contact stated that the failure would recur whenever added fuel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technician performed an update to the vehicle but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer but the technicians were unable to diagnose the failure.the vehicle was not further repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000. Kmj
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.
After filling car with fuel and drive a few hundred feet car starts bucking and stalls. Restarts and bucks and stalls a few more times then runs fine until next time we fill up. We have stopped filling car up but just putting 10 to 12 gallons when we get gas. We cannot fill the fuel tank up or take a serious chance of having car stall in traffic as we had a couple close calls. I have asked beck chrysler if there was a recall or fix for this and was told by service manger never heard of problem. I have read that many people are having same problems and only fix is to pay over a $1000.00 for a new gas tank as this is only fix. I have replaced vapor canister and vapor control valve in engine compartment with no improvement. I feel chrysler should fix this for no charge as it is part of the emission system and also worry my wife and i will be hurt or killed by this flaw in the fuel tank. I hope we can get some help to get this repaired. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I previously made complaint that after fueling at gas station my car would flood and stall in the middle of traffic almost causing me to be rear ended by vehicles behind me.i was told by [xxx]that chrysler would be fixing the problem in march 2014.today 4-1-2014 i called chrysler who stated even though i have a 2006 300c my vin is not covered and they denied that any owner letters were sent and that i cant go by what nhtsa has to say.my car is still dangerous to operate when filled and i haven't filled it for years pending this resolution which they now refuse to do.therefore i am opening another complaint as nothing that was stated to me has come true and chrysler denies everything on your site and refuses to fix my car which is clearly a 2006 300c 5.7.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Engine stalls at slow speed and at idle also miss fires at speed after refueling gas tank. It continues until a gal. Or so of fuel is consumed .
After filling the vehicle with gas, the vehicle stalls while idling.while driving down the road the car jerks severely and then turns off while driving down the road.there was an investigation that was closed on february 10, 2014, and chrysler is suppose to be offering lifetime extended warranty related to this issues.however, i have not been successful in having chrysler assist me in making sure my vehicle is safe to drive down the road.the vehicle stalling occurred twice while driving until i started to research it.
After refueling my car suddenly lost acceleration and stalled without any warning as i was leaving the gas station.i restarted the car and the same thing happened 3 more times.this particular incident has happened four times before; each time i topped off? my gas tank.i was concerned that i could be involved in an accident so i took the car to the dealership? and after several days was told that the fuel line was cracked and the gas tank needed to be replaced.after paying $1,700.00 and renting a car for 4 days, i was told that the problem will go away.we shall see. My car is well maintained with oil changes every 3,000 miles with only 55,000 miles.i also only use 89 octane fuel as recommended in the owner's manual.i contacted chrysler and was told that there is no recall on this, even though quite a number of drivers have complained about this same problem.they all complained that the car stopped after refueling and topping off the tank.i think this should be a recall.
After filling the vehicle with fuel (not topping off the tank) the car stalled upon leaving the gas station.i was able to restart it after several times but the risk is incredible!the car stalls without warning as traffic was all around me honking and i was nearly being hit from behind!!once was a fluke i thought and maybe bad gas.i was able to carefully navigate on back streets to the house and never had the problem again until the next fill up.again i had the stalling problem, lucky for me i had picked a light traffic time to fill up.i switched gas stations after that an now only get gas at shell stations hearing that they had the best gas quality overall.the problem has continued since then every time i fill the tank full.the stalling problem seems to be occurring now two needle widths below the full mark which means something is getting worse.the local chrysler dealership says that there is no recall and the fix is to replace the gas tank due to a faulty value at the top of the tank.the cost is $1,315.the risk of getting hit from behind at any speed is incredible and very real!!i believe chrysler should replace the faulty tanks.
Car stalls immediately after filling up.i switched filling stations, brands and octanes.continued to have problem.after a few gallons were used, the stalling went away each time.problem now continues while stopped at traffic lights, traveling at low speeds, or no pressure on the throttle.while moving it will stall, the engine light will come on and "ding", then when i pump the throttle it will catch itself and the car will jerk hard and accelerate again.at traffic lights once it stalls, it will require using the key to restart.i took the car to the dealer twice for the problem, the last time in aug 2013, the check engine light had stayed on.they reset the codes and could not duplicate the problem.
Vehicle stalled after refueling.filling the gas tank to full without 'topping off' will cause the car's engine to stall without any prior warning.no dtcs/miles are set.can be restarted with some difficulty.the stall will occur at any engine/vehicle speed and will happen within the first 5 minutes of driving the car after refueling.the problem can be avoided by not filling the tank past 3/4 full.have tested this 'work-around' atthe same gas station & pump.
5 minutes after filling up my 06 chrysler 300c srt-8 6.1l at a gas station i was crossing over traffic to make a left turn and my car died in the middle of oncoming traffic. It took several minutes to restart then lurched forward after put into gear. This is the second time right after filling my tank this has occurred. The time before it stalled merging onto interstate on ramp.
Vehicle hesitates/stalls after filling with fuel.dealership replaced purge solenoid and cannister at a cost to me of $538.22.after replacement, car died on me 5 times after filling with fuel in less than a 4 block area.returned car to dealership.was told the customary fix was a new canister and fuel tank, at an additional cost of $1,168.70 plus tax, or to only fill tank 3/4 of the way full when fueling.i choose not to pay approximately an additional $1,200 and have not been able to fill my tank to first fuel hose shutoff since.have had to try to guess how much fuel to put into vehicle when fueling ever since.don't understand why i wasn't notified by the dealership of this problem since they obviously have a record this was an issue with my vehicle, and have not received the fuel tank extended lifetime warranty coverage letter from chrysler.have not been contacted by chrysler at all regarding this problem.
After fill up at gas station ( not topping off), when leaving and coming to a stop at an intersection, car will shut off and have to crank two or three times to start again. It will do this several more times after coming to a stop, once on the road or freeway it will run like nothing is wrong. Once fuel level drops enough it will no longer stall when coming to a stop. Have read in forums that the problem is more than likely a valve that is built in into the tank, making this an expensive fix.
On multiple occasions, my wife and i have experienced the symptoms specified in nhtsa action number pe13016.our mechanic has confirmed this also.however, action pe103016 leads us to believe chrysler will fix this problem.we have contacted two chrysler dealers' service dept's and have been told they have no 'recalls' listed for my car's vin.how do i go about getting chrysler to meet the agreement stated in pe13016?
On 8/29, i picked my car up from the dealership for a repair to the body. When i attempted to start the vehicle, it turned over but would not start. After several attempts, i went back inside and made the service manager aware. He came out and after a few tries, it started. They told me they didn't know what was wrong with it but that it seemed to be fine so i could take it. I started the vehicle with no issue and took it to a nearby gas station to fill it up. After filling it up, it would not start. The vehicle was towed back to the dealership. It was at the dealership from 8/29 to 9/26. During that time, the battery was changed, the evap canister was replaced and the gas tank was replaced. When i went to pick the vehicle up on 9/26, it would not start. After several attempts and pumping the gas while turning the ignition, the vehicle started. I am now only able to start the vehicle if the gas pedal an pumped while the key is being turned. The vehicle has also attempted to stall several times since i got it back and doesn't have the power it had when i bought it. I have also smelled gas while driving immediately after accelerating. My check engine light is now on also. The dealer has requested that i bring the vehicle back to them and i fear that it will be there another 4 weeks and return to me in the same or even worse condition!
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.
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 replacedthis 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.
After re-fueling vehicle, car stalled at 5 intersections.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/mis-fired.tank was not "topped-off" when filled, it was filled until the pump stopped automatically.
Filled up the car with gas drove down the road then the engine died did it twice to me.
2006 chrysler 300c. Consumer writes in regard to vehicle stalling and malfunctioning pcm module. *as
A hole got punched in my fuel tank on my 2006 chrysler 300c when it was being driven down a paved highway and the driver did not hear anything that was hit on the roadway to cause this much damage. The dealer states it is a road hazard and i contest this ruling and think the fuel tank is substandard if it fails this easily. This is a major concern with the safety of operating this vehicle in the future. Please advise how to continue with my contesting this ruling by the dealer since it is costing me around $1,000.00 plus rental auto costs to get this issue corrected with a new fuel tank. I think this should not ever happen on a paved highway and should not be at my expense since the fuel tank was not constructed with sufficient strength to protect me and my family.
2006 chrysler 300c. Consumer writes in regards to repair reimbursement.* ldthe consumer received a letter from chrysler statingthey were extending the fuel tank warranty period because some of the affected vehicle population may experienced a condition where the fuel shut-off float in the multi-function control valve sticks which may result in the vehicle stalling after re-fueling.the consumer stated he experienced the stalling issue, as stated in the letter.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300-c. The contact stated after filling the vehicle with gasoline, the vehicle would stall repeatedly until the fuel level indicator moved off the full mark.. The dealer stated the failure was due to a vent valve sensor inside the fuel tank that was causing the problem. The dealer stated the fuel tank would need to be replaced as well as the char coal canister. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 70,000.updated 03/30/11
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was confirmed that the fuel vapor canister had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the issue. The failure mileage was unavailable and the current mileage was 80,100.updated 12/11/2012
In january i filed a safety complaint on this web site regarding the stalling of my chrysler 300c after filling the gas tank (odi # 10561779).over the last two and a half months the problem has persisted, with the only way to avoid the problem was to only fill the gas tank to 3/4 full. On 2/24/14 i saw the abc news report that stated "us ends probe of chrysler engine stalling" and the article states they investigated 1200 complaints and found 299 in which the fuel system allowed the gas tank to be over-filled.it also stated that "chrysler updated the part in new cars and guaranteed it for life in cars now on the road."when my chrysler dealer (who has been taking care of my chrysler since i bought it there new in 2/2006) was contacted, he stated that only certain vin numbers were being covered.he told me i could call chrysler and speak to them.i called the 1-800-992-1997 chrysler customer service this morning.i explained about the stalling and that i had filed a complain back in december 2013 regarding the consistent stalling when the tank is filled. I explained my chrysler dealer stated my car was not on their list, and to call chrysler.the representative informed me that they were only fixing certain cars and mine was not one of them and that i could take it to the dealer and pay to have it fixed. When i asked if it turned out to be the exact same part that was being replaced, would they cover it, i was informed they would not. I am unsure what factors guided chrysler on which cars to fix, but it appears that they have left out at least my car which has exactly the same described problem i have seen on the complaint web site.
After many incidents we have determined that after filling with fuel, the vehicle stalls many times in approximately the next 5 miles,makes the vehicle very scary to drive.difficult to get the whole family and station attendants to understandthat this car can not have a full tank of gas.terrible failure that it seems chrysler is ignoring...
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that upon starting, the contact heard a pop as all of the electronic components failed. The contact inspected the vehicle and found that the battery had failed. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle suddenly stalled after refueling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000. The vin was unavailable.
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 stoplightthe 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.
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 several 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.
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.
Once the vehicle has a full tank of gas, it'll stall or shut off when driving. When stopped, it'll rev itself as well.
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.
About a month ago, i filled up my vehicle with gas. I had my nieces in the car with me, and as i pulled away from the gas station, the car stalled and shut off in the middle of the road. I got it to crank back up before getting hit. It didn't have much power but finally gained its power back. Every time i fill my tank up (not topping off, but stop once it clicks off) and i drive off, the car quits and has to be cranked back up. It appears to only happen when the car is filled up. This is happening only when it's filled up (which one needs to be able to do). This is scary and dangerous as when you pull off into traffic, the last thing you need is to have a car die on you and you get hit. Please help! i see i'm not the only person who is having this problem.
After filling gas tank, the engine stalls repeatedly.when it stalls, power steering is lost and car comes to stop sometimes in traffic.the engine then cranks normally.i took it to the dealer and they changed the egr valve which did not fix the problem.suggested shotgun approach.
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.
The first time i had this problem, i filled up my car after a trip, and upon leaving the gas station my engine stalled and the car would not come back on. I could not get the car to crank and when the engine did come on once the rpms would not settle and they kept dipping to almost zero before the engine cut off. I had the car towed to a repair shop where they were unable to fix the issue. I've had this happen about five times and i finally had one repair shop tell me to not fill my gas tank up all the way and it should prevent the cut offs.i then failed an emissions test and had to have my gas cap replaced. I thought that this had solved the problem so i tried to fill the tank up all the way again and it immediately cut off after starting it up. I was able to rev the engine and use up some of the gas and managed to get the car home with the rpms constantly dipping almost to zero. The car cut out at a stop light and i then had to get it started again after sitting in the intersection stalled.i've had my car inspected by two chrysler dealers, a few independent repair shops, and also a nissan dealer where i know the head mechanic. The only answers i've gotten were that it is a faulty o2 sensor and needs a new gas tank.
Engine stalls at least once after refueling. The dealer replaced the fuel-line purge valve last year,but it didn't fix the problem. I was told on several occasions that it was bad gas that was causing the problem, but i've tried using several brands of fuel without any luck. I don't drive the vehicle that much, but i have had a few near accidents because the engine accelerates before shutting off.
When i'm driving around 55 miles per hour on the highway or bellowthe car once to surge and stall in the middle of driving. It will also stall stationary at a red light or stop sign but not all the time, seems after filling my tank up as when it starts acting. I'm on a quarter tank now in my car still keeps wanting to stall
After filling the gas tank the vehicle is prone to stall.this can happen at random times and speeds.if you only fill the tank up 3/4 of the way it seems to alleviate the problem.no trouble codes are set.after stalling the vehicle can sometimes be restarted immediately, other times it might have to sit for 5 minutes.
At the gas station at low idle right after fueling car shut off.shut off again at low speed the next day, no further fueling has taken place as of yet.
Stalls after refueling. This is a serious problem and we have not been contacted by chrysler about this know problem!
Filled up the car and upon pulling onto the highway the car stalls and shuts off.very dangerous situation for my family as well as others.i am surprised thus far,very thankful,no fatalities have been reported.
Car unexpectedly stalled in traffic but started right up again.this happened several times as i made my way to the chrysler dealer a few miles away.they could not diagnose problem at the time.the car ran fine until yesterday january 31st 2013 when it happened again but this time in heavy traffic.i managed to get the car started and it continued to stall several times as i made my way to the dealer again.the mechanic identified the problem which appears to happen right after filling the gas tank as a problem with the vapor recovery system.he stated he has seen this problem many times and the remedy is to replace the fuel tank and vapor recovery lines and filter etc.cost about $2000.i asked if it was a recall given that this happens frequently (my online research suggests this is a common problem with chrysler 300c).i was told it was not a recall.my issue is that this is a serious safety problem and should be addressed by the manufacturer.
After topping off the gas tank the vehicle was driven two blocks where it was then pulled onto a busy access road in town. The vehicle was slowing down to a red light when the engine stalled for a moment, the oil pressure light came on, thenimmediately cut out and would not restart. After putting on hazard lights and attempting to call for a tow attempts were made to restart the car and after about 20 minutes of waiting the engine turned over and it was possible to pull the car off the road to a mechanic a block up. The car was scanned and no engine codes were found and oil pressure was found to be fine. The car was given a valve flush and started up fine after that. The incident repeated itself on 3/29/15 once more after filling up the tank, after going to blocks the car once more stalled and shut down. At this point i am very concerned for my safety with this vehicle if this is what is going to happen every time the car needs gas and this should be address with a recall after seeing so many complaints.
When i fill the gas to full, the engine stalls and it happened in an intersection on a yellow light. Very scarry. Has happened several times since but this needs to be fixed
After filling up with fuel while stopped at a traffic light the engine stalled.after restarting and proceeding the engine stalled again while traveling at 15-20 mph.this has happened several times since always after refueling.
I have had engine stalling after refueling on numerous occasions since 2007.received a letter dated may 8, 2014 from chrysler group llc informing me that my model chrysler has a condition where the furl shut-off float in the multifunction control valve sticks, causing the vehicle to stall.the letter informed me that the warranty on the tank had been extended to lifetime coverage.this is where my problem with the vehicle continues.... On 17 june 2014 took my vehicle to cutter chrysler in pearl city, hawaii 96782 to get it repaired (my wife will not ride in the vehicle because of the stalling).i was informed that the part is on back order (approximately 2-3 months).i went back in september and was informed it should be 1-2 weeks.i went back today 3 november 2014 and was informed still on back order with no date as to when parts may be received.chrysler has not adequately addressed this problem with an extended warranty, when you can't get your vehicle repaired because of back ordered parts.it has been 6 months and no repair in sight.my wife does not consider this low risk to vehicle safety and has not ridden in the vehicle since 2008!how can the preliminary evaluation be closed when chrysler has not adequately addressed fixing the problem.warranty extended, but no parts!!investigation closed but no repairs.the problem is still a problem!
I filled my car up and within 5 miles it stalled. This has happened several times. Each time if i pull some fluid from the tank the car will remain running.
If vehicle is filled up with gas until full car will stall shortly after fill-up.
Many multiple incidents - after filling fuel tank, engine will stall multiple times shortly afterwards and is difficult to re-start.this happens even if care is taken to avoid "topping off" tank.at times the engine has even stalled during fueling once tank is near full, before pump clicks off.must drive with gas cap removed for it to start and run at all for many miles before it behaves normally again, and even with gas cap removed it still will come near stalling at times.
When filled up the gas tank and started to drive the car died.
7/11-5/12, i took my 2006 300c hemi into my dealership for my car stalling after i have driven it past 1/4 tank then fill it up. I was told different repairs was causing the issue. On 5/4/12 i got an answer it was my fuel tank. My warranty ran out 12/10 the dealer wanted $1500 to replace the tank. I contacted chry corp explained what i had been dealing for the last 10 mos. I didn't have money to repair. Chry offered to help had me pay a deductible of $245.my mileage was about 57,000. I was thankful for chrysler helping me out. In 2013 there was a recall on the fuel tank. I called chry corp again and they said yes it is a recall & offered to refund me back for the deductible i paid. Now in 2020 my car is doing the exact thing, (125k mi) wanting to stall/does stall after i ran past 1/4 tank, then fill it up. I took my car to my private mechanic, he told me this is a recall take it to the dealership. I called the dealership, they said my vin # was not on the list. I called chry corp explained what i was experiencing. They told me they do not take 3rd party diagnosis, i needed to take it to a certified chry dealer. I did and they confirmed it was my fuel tank!chrysler corp said there's nothing they could do for me my vin# does not qualify, besides the warranty expired! on the forums i read said this recall is a lifetime recall.i sent my work orders to both dealer & corporate and the dealership said my fuel tank was never replaced just fuel pump.all these years i never let gas tank get lower than 3/4 tank, it was a habit from my prior problems. Until 9/14/20 i ran my gas past 1/4 tank and filled up. As soon as i was driving on side streets when i would come to a stop at a signal and start to go. My car would do the exact same thing as 2011-2012!sending all my info i was still denied by chrysler to fix fuel tank recall!!please help, to repair now it's $2500!!!
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving approximately 30 mph, the engine stalled without warning. After restarting, the vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The failure recurred five times only after the vehicle was refueled to full capacity. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced due to the faulty fuel tank roll over. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.
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.
Fueled up vehicle, car stalled as i was leaving the gas station. This has happened numerous times. Again when we were entering freeway after fueling up, the car stalled in the middle of thestreet. The car has also stalled going around a round-about. Car was able to start after the stall with no other incident.
After fueling, car stalled while in motion at slow speed exitingparking lot. Stalled again a mile further when entering garage, both times while turning. Car has 19000 miles.
2006, chrysler, 300c starboard fuel pump leaking from the plastic housing.i changed the o-ring and it still leaks gas.the gas puddles on top of the plastic gas pump housing.fumes accumulate in the passenger area and outside near the bottom of the car.this happens when the gas tank is above 1/2 full.it doesn't matter if the car is driving, running or the engine off.
Car stalls at various speeds after gasoline fillup. Very hard to restart.very dangerous condition. Has shut off at high speeds as well as low speed.
The fuel tank leaks fuel into the cabin amy any time the tank is filled more than half way up; that or any time it is more than a quarter full and driven on a steep hill. This has been happening for about 7 or 8 years or more now...it started in around 2012 i think, when the car had just over 100,000 miles on it. I am never able to fill up my gas tank because of it. , and if i need to go up or down a steep hill (and there are steephills and driveways all over the area i live in), the fuel leaks into the car and the fumes are very strong.
Fuel vapor was leaking into our car through air vents and from fuel pump itself. It caused the car to fail and not start. Had to replace fuel pump, yet same thing keeps happening. Now gasoline leaks from the outside underneath the car (when driving, or parked but with car turned over) where the fuel pump is non stop.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300 c. The contact stated that after refueling and driving 5 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The contact restarted that vehicle and the failure recurred one half mile later. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the fuel valve was damaged and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,850.
After filling up with gas drove to stop light and car stalled. Had hard time starting.took to pensacola chrysler and themechanic said we needed a new gas tank .2100$'s.
After each fuel fill up, the car's engine dies.
What happen is that i just got the car used, had it 3 days cut the car off would not start back, i called the people who i got the car from, they cameand got it, had it for three weeks, could not fix it so they send it to a dealership they had it a month and a halfstill didn't fix it right, they said it was fixed but was not, i picked the car up drove it home 30 minutes, got home forgot something at the store got in car would not say anything, lights and radio andstill came on but car would not start,icould smell gas and they came and got the car again never mine that i had only had the car 3 days, ok they putnew cadillac converters on iti picked the car up,on my way home driving 20, car just cut off i thank god that no one hit me and it was 3 cars behind me i sat there for a minute and it started back but cut right off again, so i waited for a few more minutes, tried again, car started up and i went home cut car off, after 3 hours car was just dead would not do anything. Again call the shop, they came in picked the car upand that aug, right now the car is in the shop, they cant seem to find out what's wrong with it, they put a lot of new parts on the car they said when they thank it is fixed they let the car run about a hour, but yet again it cuts off,something needs to be done about these cars cutting off while they are being drove, there are no recalls on these cars for that, there are many many complaints about the same thing , what is going on with chrysler don't they know that a person can get kill drivingand the car cuts off at any speed, i have my grand baby's everyday, i will never want anything to happen to them or me, all i can say is something needs to be done. Thank you
I bought my 2006 chrysler 300c brand new & i've been the only owner. It was purchased straight from daimler/chrysler, ordered & built to my selected specifications through chrysler. I set the order in february 2005, it was built & finished 11 nov 2005. This was done while i was finalizing my career in active duty military service & retired. I returned to the u.s. 7 jan 2006 & that's when i saw & picked my then brand new 300c. I fell in love with that car ever since. I truly love this car & to this day still love this car. I've never had any major issues with this car from day one otherthan putting gas in it, very dependable car. In 2007 june i was diagnosed cancer of the bone & blood (multiple myeloma, stage 4). After being hospitalized for apprx. 18 mths, one day while coming from chemo it started to over heat & blowing steam, had it towed to nearest dealer & had to have the fans & the sensors replaced, 1st major problem, then after that it was the shift lever stuck in park, then the "a" frame & control arms, now in nov 2012, after attending my grandmother's funeral, i filled it up @ a gas station & it shut off, would start back up but continued to shut off. There was no check engine light then once i got it started it would sputter, kick, & stall, this was repeated for several miles down the hwy & was fine til i had to fill it up again from then on it continued to do so every fill up. I did receive an indication of the gas cap (replaced) then june 2013 i filled it up as usual & it shut off & it was difficult to restart, i waited& start it again it did so i pulled on to the road, it began to stall, sputter, & buck, as i crept home, i heard a loud crackling sound lost all power, had it towed was told #4 vlv had fell down in the cylinder, after 3 months 2008 5.7l engine put in, problem still exist, evap solenoid, canister, pump, & filter assembly replaced.
On the first of july i was preparing for a trip and stop at a gas station to fill up.on my way home from thegas station my car stalled while going down the road. I lost power steering, brakes, etc, and was luckythat i was able to bring the vehicle to a stop safely and get the vehicle home, stalling several more times.i looked on the internet to see if i could determine what had gone wrong and i found that there is a defect with the gas tank on my vehicle and that due to an agreement with the fed gov and chrysler. It was determinedthat chrysler was going to extend the warranties on this gas tank to replace the defective ones without a recall.i contacted my local chrysler dealer and they ordered the parts and told me it would be approximately 2 weeks before a repair could take place.two weeks later i contacted the dealer and was told that the parts were on back order.i wrote an email to chrysler asking for clarification and i was told the following "according to our records your vehicle was included in the x53 19 gallon fuel tank extended warranty. Unfortunately at this time the parts to perform the x53 repair are currently on a restriction with the dealerships having access to order 1 part every 14 days for the one repair and 1 part every 7 days for the other repair. At this time we recommend continuing to work with your dealership to have this repair completed."i has now been 4 weeks and i still to not have this vehicle repaired. This response is unacceptable to me and is a safety concern to me and i think for other drivers who have the same issue!!i ask the nhtsa relook this issue an address chrysler to expedite replacement of the defective tanks before someone gets injured.
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.
This has happened at least 3 times in the last 2 years.i would fill up with fuel and after leaving the gas station the vehicle would stall causing me to lose power steering and brakes and having to stop in the middle of traffic. I received a alert from chrysler last year but have misplaced the letter.it stated that if i experienced this problem that i should take it to a dealer and they would replace the gas tank.
Every time the car is filled up with gas, it stalls several times.this can be dangerous as at least once i was getting on an interstate.fortunately, no accident occurred.the first time i took it to the dealership they said it was because i overfill the tank (which i don't) and replaced a charcoal filter and solenoid at the cost of almost $500.it happened again after this repair and now i am told i need a new gas tank.this will cost another $1250. I am aware of this happening on other chrysler 300's.contacted chrysler and reported the problem.at first they said it was because of overfilling the tank and now confirm it is the fuel tank, but there have been no recalls on this issue.we bought the car in 2005 when the new 2006's came out.this is a very dangerous issue.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle failed to restart until after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the condenser was replaced. The contact also stated that the failure recurred and had been repaired multiple times for the same failure. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 106,000.
After filling gas tank car would shut off while driving and i would lose control of car to stear. After sat all car would start and drive ok.danger is when car stalls on the road while driving.this happened several times, could not fill tank up.
On mulitple occasions over the last year and a half that i've owned the car it has stalled in traffic after filling up at the gas station, the most recent occasion being 2/11/17.on every occasion i have filled the tank (filling only until the pump clicks off), left the gas station parking lot and made it no more than 1/4 mile before the car stalls - typically it will lurch forward 1-2 times very hard, then stall - i turn the key off, then back on and the car will start without incident, however, the lurching and stalling will happen 1-2 more times before the car drives without any incident (until the next fill up).only one time has the car stalled while in a stopped position (at a stop light), in all other instances the car was in motion on a city street (between 10-45mph) when the stalling has occured - on every occasion it has stalled more than 1 time (the most being 3).
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.
Problem first occurred at approx 41k miles.had just refilled tank and car refused to start.let car sit for 1/2 hour and car restarted.problem has occurred intermittently since then - always after refilling the tank.sometimes the car is hard to start after a refill and other times it stalls, typically when leaving the gas station.i use the auto-fill feature at gas stations and do not overfill.
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
Car continues to lose power in the midst of driving down the highway it in traffic. We experienced power failure some 45 times last night driving home. At one point we could not go faster than 45 mph. The fuel pump has been changed and the issue has not stopped. Now the chrysler tech says that the computer is not communicating with the transmission and a module is needed. This problem has existed for quite some time now and we don't know now what to do and i'm afraid we will have a deadly accident with this vehicle going dead while driving down the road or highway in traffic. There is no warning prior to stopping it just stops.
My wife drives this vehicle. Every time she fills it up with fuel, the car stalls in traffic 2-3 times immediately after she drives away from the gas station. It will however restart after a few minutes. She has had several close calls that could have resulted in a serious accident. At least once she was driving through a curve when the engine stalled, disabling the power steering where she was no longer able to control the vehicle to a safe stop. The first time this happened, i took it to the dealer and they told me it was my wife's fault because she must be overfilling the tank. They told me to tell her to let the fuel pump nozzle shut off the fuel when the tank was full and not put in any additional fuel after that. Well we tried this and it makes absolutely no difference. Then i carried it back to the dealer again and they told me that they had since found out from chrysler that this was due to a defective fuel tank issue and the only fix was to replace the tank and associated parts at a cost of approx. $2000.if chrysler knew that the fuel tank was defective, it should be fixed under warranty. Chrysler should not be allowed to get away with this. It is a serious safety issue and someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed if they haven't already! please help. Thank you.
Cut off when tank full of gas can't put but 3/4 of a tank in it when are going slow it stalls out
Continues to stall and ultimately stop while driving
Once again i am driving my car and it stalled in the middle of traffic i was almost rear-ended with my son in the back seat because i got gas for my car. Chrysler needs to be responsible and fix this issue. I took my car to the dealership and they told me good luck with getting it fixed because the gas tank is on back order and they don't know when it will be in. I am an single parent and this is my only car that i have and i am afraid to drive it because it stalls. Now i am wondering if by suddenly losing power if this is going to affect the engine in the long run. I don't know what to do i guess chrysler is going to wait until a family or someone is killed because the car dies in traffic until they do something.
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.
The engine dies 4 to 5 times on the road after filling up the tank, it happens if i take my foot off the gas pedal to slow down or to stop, it is stressful when you loos control of the car on the streets especially if you are turning on a corner.it started on july 1918 and it has happened for the 15 times that i had filled up the car with gas with no exceptions.i keep records of dates, my mileage and used gas.
Every time i fill up my gas tank my 2006 chrysler 300c ends up turning off at any stop, red light, or when i am slowing down.i always end up stopping traffic because of it. The vehicle ends up turning back on after a few times of trying to turn it on. I have had people make scenes at my window due to this. I have read online blogs of chrysler owners that have the same problem. They go to the dealer and replace the fuel tank. I have called auto parts stores and the fuel tank is pretty pricey.there are many more complaints on 300cforums.com
Engine stalls after filling up with gas.
I bought my car in january 2015. As of december 2015 it started stalling. It would start jerking when i gave it gas. It would shut off when i either tried to take off from a complete stop or when i was just stopped or in the middle of me driving within 40 mph.i took it to the chrysler dealership (not the dealer i bought it from) they diagnosed it was the wiring harness. I paid over $1200 to get it fixed. The same problem happened within 24 hours of me picking it up. It was there for almost 2 months, they said it did not do anything when it was there. Only said i needed a new battery. I had them replace the battery. Then it happened again about a month later. This time they diagnosed the fuel tank needed to be replaced. Once work was complete i picked it up and less than 5 minutes after leaving i was broke down again. This is the 5th time its been there in the last 5 months. Also i never received a refund after the mis-disgnosis! this is frustrating!
I bought a 2006 chrysler 300c new from the dealership in may of 2006. At approximate 25,000 miles it began to shut off after filling up the gas tank completely at the gas station.i've always put the correct fuel in my car as recommended by the manual and the dealerships i've taken her to for routine maintenance. At intermittent intervals throughout the ownership of my car, it has shut off, stranded me on dark roads and have almost caused accidents on highways, busy streets with my children in the car. This car has been dealership maintained & i've adamantly followed the maintenance schedules. Have taken it to the dealership and had spark plugs, fuel pump, water pump, thermometer changed all needlessly. I've spent close to $4000 in repairs and needless parts.the dealership has ran various diagnostics and haven't found anything wrong. The car now has close to 76,000 miles on it and will shut off if the gas tank goes to the quarter of tank mark or when it's full. I never top it off because i've been warned not to top off my gas intake. I've sought second opinions on why this might be happening and the dealerships in ny, nj and fl have informed me that this is a common complaint they receive for all of the chrysler 300 series. This is a dangerous malfunction that could possibly cost lives plus cost an expensive loss for this car. I've spoken to other owners plus researched other forums, and there are hundreds of the same complaints about when the car is fueled especially after the car reaches 50,000 miles on it. The last incident was oct. 30, 2013 in which i was almost in an accident due to the fact that my car shut off at a stop light after the light turned green. The cars behind me started to move and the car directly behind me had to swerve to keep from hitting me. This is a dangerous problem.
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 filling the fuel tank as i was leaving the station the car stalled and the check engine light came on.the car started and i drove about 3 blocksand it stalled again at a traffic light. It ran ok the next several fill-ups and then it happened and this time it stalled four (4) time.once on a busy by-passi spoke withchrysler customer service on march 20, 2012and they will do nothing about this.clearly this is a serious safety issue.i am having the fuel tank replaced at a cost of $1200.00.
When i fill my gas tank with fuel, for the first mile or so it keeps dying at slows to stops. Every stop or slow down for the first several minutes after fueling. It is a safety issue because it will die right in the middle of traffic or in a turn lane, and i am afraid i will be rear-ended. I have to put it into neutral or park to start it. Sometimes it takes 3 to 4 tries to get it to start when it has stalled like this. This happens every time i fuel up now. The first incident was in 2016.
I have had my car for about 3 years and i noticed that when i filled up the gas tank it would cut off. I thought that i was putting too much gas in it, so i stopped filling it up. Then maybe 3-4 months ago it started acting as if it did not want to start or was not getting enought gas. So i started paying attention to what stores i went to, to get gas. Two days ago, i tried starting my car and at first it would not start as if it was not getting enough gas, but then it finally started and as i was in traffic, making a right turn, it just cut off and would not start back up. I later learned that it is an unlimited recall on the fuel tanks for my car. I called several chryslaer dealerships, and it seems that when i told them what the problem was and that there was a recall on it they said they were not able to fix it for maybe a month or two and one dealership told me that because i had more than 150,00 miles on my car they won't fix it.
The 300 had a recall on the fuel tank, which was replaced january 2015 by tate in frederick md. Since then the stalling issue has gotten worse. I took the car to tate 4 times, and was told 4 different diagnostics. 1= transmission, 2= battery, 3=plugs & coils, 4=canister for extra fuel. I replaced the spark plugs & coils. Which didn't correct the issue. I took it to a 2nd dealer. Darcar's in rockville md and they are now telling me that its the transmission control module & power control module. My car no matter if there is a full tank or a 1/4 of tank stalls when i am at idle. It can stall once or the max is 9 times. I have a 1 1/2 year old & 5 year old which is a safety issue. I found this forum, which are other people having the same issue & different dealers are throwing different parts. I don't think the replacement of the fuel tank corrected this true issue. Can you please help me with discovering the true cause and making the cars safe for the drivers and passengers?
My cat stalled at a red light after fueling up my gas tank
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.

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
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
My car stalled in the middle of an intersection and i was almost broadsided by another car. My car stalls and bucks every time i fill up with gas. This happens when i am stopped, at low speeds and at highway speeds. It has caused a dangerous situation on numerous occasions. I took my car to the chrysler dealership in lakeland, fl about three years ago and their solution to the problem was to tell me to not fill the tank all the way up. That is not the proper solution to this problem. It needs to be fixed before someone gets killed!
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.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c.the contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle would stall and could not be restarted until after several attempts.

The car will stall out at complete random times while it is in motion or sitting still in drive or in park. It has happened from 0 to 70 mph, it is completely random. I have read that this is a common occurrence on this model and chrysler has extended the warranties on the fuel tank to lifetime but for some reason my particular vehicle doesn't fall under this circumstance despite it being the exact same year, make, and model listed on the documents. I do not feel safe driving the car because i'm worried about stalling in the middle of an intersection or highway and it causing a wreck and harm to me or my family.
Every time i fill up my car at gas station, right afterwards it stalls at low speeds 4-6 times before resolving. It also was stuttering at speeds of up to 35 mph. Four times i have nearly missed being involved in an accident due to this malfunction.
As reported with other complaints, car will stall after refueling. Yesterday it stalled three times while removing my foot from the accelerator and applying the brake. It also stalled while turning through an intersection which prompted me to dig into this further since previous attempts to correct the problem have not worked!.visited chrysler dealership today and since the check engine light was not on nor could they find anything specific to the issue there was nothing they could do. The only question i was asked was that if i topped the fuel after the pump automatically shuts off.i responded that i did not and if i did what difference would that make. Problem has been on going for about 8 months, and in those months the dealership re-flashed the engine control module, i have replaced the spark plugs, replaced all the fluids, and replaced the pcv valve.problem still persists and would like to seek some type of resolution!
After the car was topped off with fuel the engine stalls. It is then very difficult to start. It happened 4 different times. The engine would stall if you did not keep your foot on the gas and put the car in neutral. The mph did not make a difference on stalling. It started stalling immediately after full-up.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300 c.the contact stated while driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning.the vehicle was restarted after several attempts however, the failure recurred sporadically and after refueling.the vehicle was not taken to a dealer.the manufacturer was not notified of the defect.the approximate failure mileage was 117,000.the vin was not available.
After filling the fuel tank the engine will stall when stopping for a light or when first leaving the light. It will also jerk while driving.this happens until the fuel level goes down. It did not do this when first purchased. Now it happens every time the tank is filled. If the car stalls while driving the steering and brakes become difficult to use. There are many reports online about this same problem. Chrysler does not claim to know anything about this at the dealer. Someone will get hurt or worse if this problem is not addressed. Thank you
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.
When refueling our vehicle, using the correct grade of gas, not topping off the tank and allowing the fuel pump nozzle to shut off automatically when filled, we are experiencing life threatening episodes of stalling out when entering traffic from a gas station, or idling in traffic, turning corners, and entering ramps to the highway it will stall and choke when we try to start it back up. We wait approximately 3-5 minutes before attempting a restart without engaging the gas pedal. But still nothing happens. When it shuts offwe forcibly have to turn the steering wheel because you lose power to your brakes, steering, etc. And just pray that nobody gets injured. During the stall out there are no warning lights shown on the dashboard. Once we finally get it to hold a start, we must at high idle drive fast as possible, getting offthe main road/highway/city street to immediately garage the car. Then we have to have it run with the garage door open for at least 2.0 hours. And then we cautiously drive it with me following my husband to make sure it doesn't stall out again. Once we get pass this stalling-out period the car behaves properly, and we have no further issues until we refuel again on a weekly basis. We only have this refueling issue when filling the car.itindeed is a problem that the chrysler group llc discussed in the letter we received may 8, 2014, in the 2nd paragraph "the affected vehicle population may experience a condition where the fuel shut-off float, in the multifunction control valve sticks, which may result in the vehicle stalling after refueling. This statement for us is definitely our problem. And we are planning to address it with the dealership asap.this has happened every week. The last timewas october 30th 2015.we have now only filled it to the 3/4 mark and it has stopped stalling out temporarily.
Hello,i am a current chrysler vehicle owner and ive been having issues where my 2006 chrysler 300c srt8 which just shuts off without any warnings or trouble codes reported to the cars computer. There are times when im driving on a busy highway and the car will just stall out. Each time i take my car to the auto mechanics, they arent able to identify anything wrong as there arent any codes detected. My vehicle even stalled while at the mechanics shop and they still werent able to assist as no codes were triggered. Over the past 2 years, ive spent thousands of dollars and countless hours, stuck on major highs as well as replacing car components in a big effort of trying to resolve this concern. To date, i am still experiencing these anxieties. Ive been out on relative web sites looking this problem up and it appears this has been happening to thousands of chrysler srt/srt8 owners and they are dealing with same concerns that i am.im including a url link to one of the blog of 10+ pages of complaints from owners who are lost, confused and dont know what to do.http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-47313.html one of the major reasons why i am asking for some assistance is both awareness to the general public, as there could be serious accidents as a result. Another reason is a proactive effort at hoping to get assistance to get feedback from chrysler to help resolve these concerns.
Car stalls & chokes after fuel fill-up.problem has continued with every fill-up since it first happened.
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.
After you get gas in the car and drive away the car will stall and then you have to put it in park and restart your engine.this can be dangerous, especially if you are in moving traffic at the time.
After filling my gas tank, within minutes, my 2006 300c srt8 will stall or even shut off while driving, regardless of speed of vehicle. It does this at least 2 or 3 times. I feel this is a major safety issue.
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 carruns rough when stopping at red lights.
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.
Car stalls/shuts off after refueling after driving a while stall stops until refueling again.took car to dealer they found nothing wrong with car, they charged me for replacement of the battery. Car did the same thing after refueling.took it again today 2/15/15 and was told my car wasnt covered for the lifetime recall for the fuel tank float replacement, although im having the same symptoms for this year vehicle that clearly alot of other customers have had the same problem.
After fueling up about 1 mile later as i left a red light the motor just stalled as soon as it took off with no warning no power steering i couldn't control the vehicle in the middle of a busy road had to put the car and park and re start the motor it happens whenever i refuel very dangerous.
This was the first of several incidences. After fueling, the engine began rough idling. I thought i had just gotten water in my tank. After several minutes the engine seemed to smooth out and i left the gas station and entered a busy intersection. As i entered the intersection, i pressed down on the accelerator and the engine stalled. There were cars all around me as i tried to restart the engine. After several tries, it started and i pulled to the side of the road. The engine ran roughly for several more minutes and once again smoothed out. The stalling can also happen during right turns, but always happens after refueling. My dealer said the problem was the valve on top of the gas tank. When filling the tank, fuel leaks over into the cannister which then floods out the engine. Because the valve and the tank are one unit, the entire tank must be replaced. Since a repair is so expensive, i now do not fill my tank above the 3/4 level.
Called chrysler (1-800-chrysler) about vehicle stalling after filling up gas tank after vehicle repeatedly stalled after filling up. I have a 2006 chrysler 300c awd w/ 5.7l hemi v8. Google search showed nhtsa action #pe13016 extending gas tank warranty of all 2006 hemi-engined 300's. Chrysler rep on the phone told me no such warranty existed after checking with supervisor. Had to call local dealership (gurnee dodge) who was able to confirm that yes said warranty does exist and they would fix the issue. Incredibly disappointing that chrysler lied to me. Car first stalled on train tracks near my house, and the gates on the crossing started to close just as i got the car to clear the crossing! scared the wits out of me!
I bought my car new in march 2006 and i am the only owner/driver.i do like my car and will buy another chrysler 300c.when the car was new i had several stalling issues where the car would stall at low speeds or while sitting at a traffic light.i do not recall if it was after refueling.i took the car to the dealer and no "codes" were found and the dealer could not replicate the problem.the car than ran perfectly for six years with no stalling issues.all maintenance has been performed including new spark plugs as recommended by chrysler.starting earlier this year the stalling restarted and it only happens after i fill the car with fuel. I have tried several other gas stations and ran some fuel injection cleaner through the fuel system.i do not top off the tank when filling the car up.at one point the stalling occurred after every fill up and now it is not as often (every other fill up).after filling the tank the car starts normally and as i exit the gas station and stop to check to merge into traffic the car will stumble and stall.it restarts and will stall again if i don't keep the engine rpm's up.sometimes after i fill up and quickly merge into traffic (and not allow the car to fall to idle speed) while accelerating up to 25-40 mph the car will stumble and it feels like it is not getting fuel.it does not stall because the car is gaining speed and then clears up after a "surge" and then runs fine till the next fill up cycle.i am careful about pulling out in heavy traffic after fill ups out of fear of it stalling.
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.
After filling gas tank, car stalls many times before running ok, until next fill up and then it does the same thing every time.
Every time i put gas in my chrysler 300c and start the engine, the car tends to jerk forward and then the engine literally shuts down. This is a very serious problem, because the engine has shut down while i'm on the interstate; after filling up gas tank to capacity, my vehicle stalled after driving for not even one mile because fuel flooded the engine. The vehicle restarted after several attempts but my vehicle continued to stall after a distance. I took vehicle to an authorized dealer who stated that the fuel tank needed to be replaced.the fuel tank was replaced, but i am very concerned that this problem could have caused a crash resulting in a lot of damage and possible death!!
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.
2006 chrysler 300c-(aprox. 45000 miles) car started randomly shutting off when stopping or turning.problem became more frequent to shutting off while driving, idling, and shifting backwards. Chrysler replaced the fuel tank but problem continues.told by the chrysler dealership we need to replace the fuel pumps as they aren't working properly but at our own expense.independent mechanic said pumps seem to be working fine.does not register a code on diagnostic test.our car has 45,000 miles and this is a known problem...we should not be having engine stalling troubles!!
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.
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, andfailure has increased in frequency and now occurs regularly but sporadically at low speedsof 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.
When i fuel my car to full i start to drive and it stalls and will not restart.i brought it to the dealer and they said it is due to a faulty gas tank which is covered under a lifetime warranty extension u.s. D-14-05.they also said that it is possible that when they remove and replace the tank that the exhaust flex pipes could break which would require them to have to replace the pipes and the catalytic converters they are attached to.the estimated cost of this would be $3,300 and they would not cover this cost.this would mean that through no fault of my own if the warranty work is done and the dealership breaks the flex pipes i would be required to pay for the repair of those pipes and related parts.this is ridiculous, why would i have to pay for parts, which are fine now, but could be broken by the dealership when they do the warranty work?if you are going to extend a lifetime warranty on this defective part then why would you not cover the work and labor necessary to fix the problem especially if there are parts broken by the dealership when doing the work?there should be an additional cost coverage for all work done that is necessary to fix the problem not just the part and work to replace it as long as everything goes perfectly.if parts are broken by an authorized dealership when doing warranty work then those parts and the labor to replace them should also be covered.i am attaching the invoice from the dealership so that you can see the problem in their words.this is unacceptable!why would anyone have warranty work done if there are any other problems caused by the warranty work that are not covered.it does not say that these pipes are defective or worn it just says that they might break when doing the covered warranty work.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph after refueling the vehicle, the engine stalled. The contact restarted the vehicle 3 times and the vehicle functioned properly after the third restart. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the charcoal canister needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.
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.
Car stalls after filling fuel tank.the stalling issue has been happening for almost 2 years now.online forums describe a known fuel tank gas fume evac system malfunction.only known fix is replacement of entire gas tank.if tank is filled only 3/4's full, the stalling does not occur.chrysler should be forced to recall the defective gas fume evac system and replace the fuel tanks.cars stalling in traffic is extremely dangerous.please help.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. After restarting, the vehicle, it resumed normal operation. The failure occurred only after refueling to the full capacity level. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the mechanic could not locate the failure. The contact was advised not to fill the fuel tank to maximum capacity. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
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 state 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.
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.
We bought the car used.every time we fill the gas tank up, it stalls after about half a block or less of driving.
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....
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.
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!!!
My car stalls 3 to 4 times when filling up the fuel tank went to lake wales chrysler dealership located at 21529 us-27 lake wales,florida 33859 tel# 863-676-0733 to get the shutoff float and valve and fuel tank replaced just like the nhtsa recommends it's been 4 months and nothing is happening
Vehicle stalled 3 times after filling up the gas tank.very close to a multiple car pile up behind me.tank was not topped off and never has.chrysler knows this is a problem yet refuses to help the owners of these vehicles.the gas tank is faulty, causing raw fuel to enter the evap system.
The engine will stall after every fill-up.it stalls within 15 seconds after starting it up at the gas station.it will then stall repeatedly at intersections and every time the car comes to a stop.in addition, it has stalled while making right hand turns and misfires and stumbles while at speed.the stalling/misfiring episodes do not occur once 2-3 gallons of gas have been consumed.this situation is extremely dangerous as i have been nearly rear ended as traffic started to pull away from a green light, and also stalled at intersections while making right turns.the chrysler dealer said nothing was wrong since they didn't find any codes or tsb's regarding this problem.i have taken the car to an independent garage and they found a lot of chatter on their mechanic help websites.they think it might be the emission control that sits on top of the gas tank.the top gas in the tank is flooding over to the engine and stalling it out. Since chrysler nor anyone else can say what definitively is going on i have cautiously not been filling the tank.this car is dangerous since the next owner may not be aware of this issue.
Vehicle stalled at low speed.the date indicated is believed to be approximately the first time this occurred.it has occurred about 6 times in the last two years, the last being on jan 2, 2015.this last occurrence happened just after filling the tank, and within 1 mile.the vehicle stalled when approaching the entrance gate to the housing complex, again when arriving at the house, and once more while sitting idle.
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.*ln
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 [xxx] 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.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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.
Takata inflator ,engine failure,fuel tank replaced vehicle wass shutting off while driving before fuel tank was replaced and after fuel tank was replaced.. Under a extendedlife time warranty.took to another dealership in palestine texas told them vehicle was shutting off while driving and fuel tank was replaced by another dealership in tyler texas. They could not figure out what was wrong , they said it was ok to drive until they receive a response from chrysler (a star case)or something like that.they said there was no response from chrysler until one day ii went to start the car and it didn't start. I called dealership in palestine dealership,had it towed to them. 16 miles later and 15 days later,i was told i needed complete motor. Metal pieces in intake and 2valve seats had dropped.later on 11/20/2015 had the head took off to confirm damages to the head and valves.also on 12/19/2014 when vehicle towed in,they started the vehicle and was accelerating the car i was right there in the waiting room,thinking it's fixed,then come tell me i need amotor .
The car stalls at random after a fuel fill up. Eventually it will run normally, however it happens multiple times first and puts me in a dangerous position when it stalls in traffic. I have had both fuel pumps replaced last year and it seemed to help for a while, now the problem is back.
Vehicle stalls shortly after refueling.stall happens mostly when coming to a stop although has also occurred at a low speed cruise (25-35 mph) and when accelerating from a stop at an intersection.happens only after fuel tank is fully filled, being the automatic shutoff on the fuel pump.does not seem to happen when tank is only partially filled.while the problem has not resulted in a collision yet, there is a high probability that it eventually will.this is due to the fact that stalling when leaving an intersection causes loss of some control.when the engine stalls, upon restart the transmission does not come online for a few moments.this can cause dangerous scenarios when left immobile in a busy intersection of a major metropolitan area.
2006 chrysler 300c 5.7l hemi: engline stalls if i fill the gas tank to maximum as i make r or l turn leaving gas station .car will restart and stall again and again if/when i make a turn to the right or left until such time as level of gasoline in tank fails below the full mark.this is a problem on a long trip as it requies numerous extra stops for gas and stalling as i enter roadway or highway is dangerous for me and surrounding traffic/travelers.
Tl- the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle suddenly stalled.

The failure mileage was not available. Mh
I drove my 2006 chrysler 300c hemi with my soon to be wife and 4 year old daughter to go food shopping and was low on gas after shopping i filled the tank up at a chevron station and as i tried to pull out of the station it died. It took 3 tries and it started again then on the freeway as i was changing lanes it died again in the middle of traffic and i was scared to death for the safety of my fiance and small child i coasted to a stop in the middle lane because i couldn't get over either way with cars behind me honking i calmly tried to start the car and on the 3rd try it started and got us back to martinez. It died twice more at stop signs and a light. Very dangerious. I bought the car a week ago because my fianc is 6 months pregnant. And i wanted her to have a 4 door to make it easy on her with the kids.
Car stalled after fill up...stalled several times.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while entering the highway at 45 mph.the contact was a able to restart the engine and the vehicle resumed normal function. The contact stated the failure was experienced multiple times when the fuel tank was filled to capacity.the fuel tank had to be filled to 3/4 full in order to avoid multiple stalling failures.the vehicle was taken to the deale, who advised the contact that the fuel vapor recovery system failed and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.the approximate failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.
After fueling (filling) our 2006 300c the car was started successfully. After engaging the transmission and pulling away from the pump the engine suddenly stalled. After letting the car sit for a few minutes, the car successfully restarted and continued to run. This has happened a couple times a month since the first incident.
The car will stall every time after i fill up the gas. Yesterday i went to fill up the tank ( not all the way full ),after i drove about 1 block, the car stalled. I had to drive about 10 miles back home and the car stalled 8 times already. It was very scary because i don't know when the car will die on me when i'm on the road and cars are behind me and just very afraid of someone is going to struck me from behind when my car die on me suddenly.
I noticed that my car will stall out after i have filled the tank up with gas. I use the recommend gas grade the book said to use. The problem has been happening since february. It will drive away from the pump or gas station without a problem but will stall in traffic or while at a light i had the fuel pump replace a month ago and it will stall out i don't know what else the problem can be but a car stalling out in traffic can cause a accident.

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 tofill 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.http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-chrysler-engine-stalls-20130514-story.html.

My chrysler 330 when filling up gas tank ,shuts off frequently when driving..i have no brakes,power steering,& engine shutoff..i was able to pull off highway & roads w/ luck 7 not causing any accidents..i think nhtsa # on this issue is-pe-13016..it is a dangerous situation that i hope gets corrected asap..thx for your help...this happen 3 plus times...
The engine abruptly stalls shutting down power steering and brakes while in traffic and oil pressure is reading 0. Turn ignition switch off and car restarts perfectly with nl oil pressures. This has happened twice nearly causing accidents. Would probably be fatal if on interstate. There is absolutely no warning. There was also no error codes stored in the cars computer.
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 butdriving 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 from2000 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 idleerraticallyboth while in park and in drive and at slow speeds.
After filling gas tank with fuel engine will stall for the first few miles. Has stopped in traffic/roadway putting myself in danger after putting fuel into the car.
Filled car up at gas station and stalls at low speeds, also was stuttering at speeds of up to 30 mph.
The car chime will chime, the engine acts like it wants to stall, losing power for about 3 seconds, then it's fine. I received a sort of recall from chrysler about the problem, i called the dealership in raynham, ma., the first week of feb., 2015. I was told it would take about 2 weeks for the part. It has now been 9 weeks, and i'm told they are still waiting for 5 orders on this problem. I have had the car stall out, while driving in 35 mph traffic, very dangerous! it doesn't appear to me that chrysler is taking the letter i received stating they came to agreement with nhtsa to seriously!!!
Vehicle stall with every fuel fill up.this hasbeen happening for about a year now.scared to drive the vehicle anymore.
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 .
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact also mentioned that the failure recurred several times before the vehicle functioned normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
A couple months ago after filling my car up with gas i went to get in line at car wash car died .. Started up after 4-5 tries drove home ran fine. Today i filled up again took off went to get on freeway merged onto traffic car died again!! i coasted onto shoulder, thank god i didn't get hit.. Had my two minor children in car.. After 3 tries car started again, went straight home.. Scared to drive anymore.. Taking to dealer to be checked tomorrow.. Hope this issue gets fixed before someone seriously gets hurt or even killed!!
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.
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.
Five minutes after refueling my 2006 300c, it stalled at a stop light. Vehicle restarted quickly, but could not hold steady rpms at idle or higher. Drove immediately to dealer, and vehicle stalled three more times on the way.dealer personnel indicated stalling could be caused by over-filling the gas tank (however, i had not continued filling the tank after the pump auto-shut-off).dealer suggested running the engine for 15 minutes to clear vapor canister.this did not help.dealer replaced fuel tank and vapor canister, $1500. This is a dangerous condition since the rough running leads to stalling at intersections or stop signs.
After filling my fuel tank, the car idled erratically, surged, and died multiple times, usually right after takeoff. This has happened every time i have filled my fuel tank for the last several months, and has nearly caused an accident on more than one occasion.
The car stalled right after being filled with gas. I restarted the car pulled forward and stopped for traffic and it stalled again. It restarted and went a few blocks and stalled again. I was able to restart the car and it did not stall again. I drove it home and have not driven it again. This is a know problem by chrysler. They say it is the fuel valve and have replaced the tanks on some cars but not all that are having the problem. I intend to see if they will replace my gas tank under the warranty but others have had a problem with them covering it. Chrysler is calling their recall the x53 19 gallon extended warranty program. Thank you.
Car stalls many times after fill up. Car will operate normally after a few miles of driving.
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.
I own a chrysler 2006 300 ci can not drive it at nightbecause the lights keep going offi believe its in the headlight assembly or ballast.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the headlights, dashboard lights and interior lights flickered on and off intermittently while he was driving at approximately 35 mph.

No event leads up to this event. The shifter for automatic transmissions has a plastic part in 2005-2007 (and maybe more) that is poorly made and breaks. I have seen hundreds of complaints on the web. This happened to my 2006 chrysler 300. Chrysler's solution is to replace the entire shift mechanism that includes the same poorly manufactured plastic part.
Transmission shifter interlock lever is faulty.a broken interlock return spring hook will result in the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the ?park? position.chrysler issued letter to some customers.here the link to the letter : http://www.chrysler.com/webselfservice/pdf/k39.pdf problem is they issued a recommend free repairs to some owners that might have a problem for there 2006300c car butwhy cant they offer free repairsto everyone with same model cars and have the sameproblem. Also when you go to the dealership to buy the part to repair, you are put on a waiting list because the parts not in stock because of all the people that need to get there cars work on. My car was not able to shift and was stuck in park 2 hours waiting for a tow truck that can tow my car home. The dealership employee are aware of the problem,also the fact that some people are covered for repairs and other people with the same model with damages are not covered just doesn't make any sense.
The car has been stalling out after being started. Now it is almost shutting off or becoming unresponsive mid acceleration from a stop sign.the car will at random stall. The engine does not need to be restarted so far while driving. It will "die" for a few seconds and then comes back again just short of complete engine shut down. Rear window on passenger side is also non responsive.it has only worked once since i have had the car.

The vehicle was not taken nor towed to be diagnosed. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.
I had driven the car to work, then drove a couple of miles to pick up my child, then back to work and parked the car in my parking lot. Approximately 30 minutes later when i tried to leave the transmission would not leave park. The engine starts and runs, the brake disengages the shifter but it will not travel downward in its gate to any gear. I immediately did an internet search to find a quick solution, but only found other similar conditions and no recall.
5 minutes after filling up my 06 chrysler 300c srt-8 6.1l at a gas station i was crossing over traffic to make a left turn and my car died in the middle of oncoming traffic. It took several minutes to restart then lurched forward after put into gear. This is the second time right after filling my tank this has occurred. The time before it stalled merging onto interstate on ramp.
Engine intermittently stalls while either idling or driving.stalls are increasingly more frequent.unable to get a diagnosis of problem.have replaced the pcm but no change in problem occurrence.
Engine will start, car will not shift out of park. Just called chrysler. They will tow at a cost of $50.00 to me. Chrysler will tow to the dealer to fix the problem that they are aware of per tsb k39, at a cost to me to fix, to be reimbursed at some mythical date chrysler deems acceptable. I will ride my unicorn to work tomorrow...
I have an 2006 chrysler 300 c and as i was leavening for the day from home my gear shift is stuck in park and will not move. I've google it and this is a very common problem in chrysler.

Walked out of the house to go to work. Car started fine but could not get it out of park. Got online found out their was a recall and this is a common problem. Called the dealership and they said my car is not under the recall. Now the dealership wants to charge me 350 to replace the shifter but its only a small part. If this is common why are all the cars on this recall?
The shifter or gears on my chrysler 300 touring will not come out of park. This is an ongoing issue on these vehicles. The dealer will require me to pay out of pocket for an issue that should be resolved through a recall.
After fueling my car to full tank capacity (93 octane as always) i pulled out of the gas station and slowed down to stop at a red light (traveling at less than 10 mph). The engine stalled as i came to a full stop. I placed the transmission in park and re-started the engine. Engine started fine and i drove for about 5 miles with no further issue. Note: check engine light did not come on and all other dash indications were normal.after parking the vehicle i inspected the gas cap and verified that it was secured tight and not loose. Also checked under the fuel tank and engine compartment for anything out of the ordinary. Did not see or smell anything obvious.

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.
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.
I stopped at an rr crossing to wait for the train to pass by shutting down the engine to decrease pollution.the vehicle restarted but i was unable to shift from park to drive and i was stalled in the middle of the road. Being locked in park, i could not even be pushed out of traffic.after checking the internet this is a well known problem with this make & model and certain vin's have been recalled to correct by chrysler.there are thousands more on the road that did not fall under the recall but are experiencing the same safety problem.sitting in your driveway and not being able to move the vehicle is one thing, sitting in the middle of the road as i was is an entirely different situation.all vehicles of this make & model need to be recalled immediately!

After fueling (filling) our 2006 300c the car was started successfully. After engaging the transmission and pulling away from the pump the engine suddenly stalled. After letting the car sit for a few minutes, the car successfully restarted and continued to run. This has happened a couple times a month since the first incident.
I was driving my car to work and i stopped at a stop sign. I made an attempt to make a smooth merge into traffic but my car made little effort to move. I stepped on the gas and it struggled to speed forward as if it was stuck in a high gear. In order to get the transmission to shift again, i had to pull over, turn off my vehicle, and turn it back on. After work, a similar issue rose. I was in stop and go traffic and when i hit the gas to move forward, it struggled until the vehicle gained speed of about 10mph, then it picked up speed as normal as if it was stuck in 2nd gear. When i got home, my engine temperature reached 217 which is well above normal. The car isn't giving me a code so i can know what exactly needs to be fixed.
Stalls after i fill up and jerks violently when moving slowly 0 to 20 mph and hesitates when driving 30 and over if i don't drive around drive around in a parking lot for apx 10 min it will stop in traffic and possibly causing a rear end collision.
Vehicle stalled twice after filling up the gas tank, once exiting the gas station waiting for the light to turn green and another 3 minutes later at another light on the feeder road of the highway. I have never had any other issues as car is well maintained: oil changes with synthetic, air filter, transmission service, spark plugs, ect. I also only use 89 octane fuel as recommended in the owners manual.
While trying to merge on the freeway the motor stalled and made a rolling drumming not a high pitch noise wouldn't re start towed it home got it started and the engine is making a loud squeak noise it won't idle on its own and it stalls when put into gear.
Car completely shuts off out of nowhere even going 55 mph on the highway, almost caused a major accident! starts jumping gears mainly when the rpm is at 1 going into 2. When this happens the lights in the car flicker. After the car dies out, when you restart it its stuck in neutral even though you are in drive. Once you shut it off again and restart it, its as if nothing was wrong.there is a brand new alternator and a brand new battery in the car and it still shuts down whether you're going 55 on a highway or sitting at light ready to take off and it dies out then as well. I have children, this is very dangerous and scary! i have read thatmany individuals are having this same exact issue, please do something before someone gets seriously hurt. Thank you
Filled up the car and upon pulling onto the highway the car stalls and shuts off.very dangerous situation for my family as well as others.i am surprised thus far,very thankful,no fatalities have been reported.
My 2006 chrysler 300c would not shift out of the park position.i drove it to work that morning with no problems and parked in the parking lot, when i came out to leave after work, it started fine, and as i started to back out of my parking space, the gear shift would not move.i tried moving the steering wheel, shutting the car off and on, and had someone to rock the vehicle with no response.i called a friend and he came over to help me, and could not get it to move either.we went back to his shop and googled it and found that it is a common problem with 300's, avengers, and one other model i cant remember.all you have to type in is chrysler 300 stuck in park, and you get alot of replies.he read how they had taken the console apart and moved a release lever.we tried that and it didn't work.we then had to use a screwdriver and move a pink thingy to get it to release.i am able to drive the car, but i cannot use p (park) because it locks again.i am using neutral and my emergency brake to keep the car from rolling away.i talked with chrysler and they said some models had been recalled but not unless they had already been replaced before.mine is the shifter from the factory and is not included in the previous recall.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300 c. The contact stated the vehicle failed to drive in the reverse position. The contact was not able to reverse from a residential driveway drive way. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer, but the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 64,110.
Went to drive vehicle to a meeting, tried placing the shifter into reverse, shifter wouldn't move.talked to several ase mechanics whom told me that they have had numerous vehicles with this same problem.they also told me that chyrsler should have had a recall on this common problem by now.
This car has been in the shop for the last four years. It is on its third engine and now a roll over valve.keep in mind when we lost two engines the car was on an incline. Tried to start when we try it acts like it is out of gas. It does not start therefore we have it towed to the dealership for service. Two times we have needed a new engine. Cylinders 3 or 4 just fell off. One minute it runs great the next minute nothing. I thought it had something to do with a fuel pump. This last time it sputtered then shut down in the middle of the road while doing a u-turn. We tried once to turn it over and again it acted as if it were out of gas, however it was full, approximately 5 miles prior. We did not continue to try to start it and had it towed. The car sat over night. The service guy said it started right up in the morning. (monday morning) this afternoon, tuesday they called with the diagnoses of a roll over valve. I do believe this is the reason we lost two engines. Is this a lemon or is this nagging valve that is a very big problem for many going to be a recall as the next problem will be gas leaking everywhere or venting to the air or both. Do not want to pull out into trafficfor the carto fail so my family could answers yes to all three above questions "that would be suicide" ,and will not spend $ 1700.00 for another good gas tank when the actual part that cost $0.50 could be located outside the gas tank.

Started stalling after fill up's apx 1 year ago. I do not drive it alot. Apx 55000 miles on it. First thought was due to changing octane but been using for 4 months . Stalls, bucks, surges. Cleared up after apx 5 to 10 min.
(11-9-2006) car stalled 4 times in a row. The stalling has continued up to yesterday (9-15-2013).the car would stall at a stop or at freeway speeds and at random times from a few days up to 3 or 4 months. The dealer never had a solution. I have replaced many electrical components recommended by the dealer including the pcm. Before i changed the pcm, i would have to shift into neutral and turn the switch to restart the car.after i replaced the pcm the car will still stall, but then will "kick start" itself if i am going over 25 mph.sometimes the car will stall 2 or 3 times and then run great for a month or 2. It is always random. I have looked into renting a blackbox to install in my car to capture what the problem is, however the dealer says that a recorder for my car doesn't exist.i still drive this car with caution, my wife no longer drives this car which was hers..
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.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer several times for repairs; however, the failure recurred a month later. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 89,500.
Car shift lever was stuck in park. Called chrysler dealer and was told no longer under warranty. Had to have car towed to chrysler dealer where shifter assembly was replaced.found customer satisfaction notification k39 on internet. Called chrysler group recall assistance center and was told that recall did not apply to my specific vin number even though my car meets thelisted specifications.
Transmission is sometimes shaking when goes into certain gears. Transmission pops out of gear randomly. And i have to stop go into neutral then back into gear. My friend has the same car and says he has this problem too. Sometimes it will randomly downshift or up shift when it shouldn't.
Im hoping this post will get us some help and answers about the problems we are having with our 2006 chrysler 300c. We bought the car in november of 2011. It had less than 33,000 miles and was in great condition. We absolutely loved this car for about the first year, but then the trouble started and it is now an ongoing nightmare. It started stalling and dying constantly, usually when we were going slow or stop and go, but a few times when driving 35-45 mph. We had purchased a 2 year/20,000 added warranty when we bought the car (expires in nov 2013 which has me worried) so all of the servicing and repairs have been done at our local dealer. So far, they have done throttle body clean, cleaned a/f box and replaced filter, coolant flush, steering system flush, fuel kit, changed out fuel tank, vapor canister, leak detection pump filter, new factory battery, complete tune up, oil changes, and more. Not all of this was covered by the warranty, so we have spent thousands of our own money on repairs and rental car all the times it has been in the shop since it is our only car. On october 16, we had to have the car towed back to the dealer because it was dying again and wouldn't stay cranked once put in gear and start moving. As of this morning, still no word from them on what they think it is this time, and yet another rental bill while we wait. In the two years we have had this car, we have only put about 10,000 miles on it, it has less than 43,000 miles. This car has way too few miles and has been too well taken care of for it to be having this many problems. All the things they have done and its still doing the same thing!this is a big safety issue because when it dies, you have very little to none of the steering and brakes.luckily, we have not had it die in major traffic yet, but i am afraid to drive it now for fear that we are going to be in a wreck because of it.

Transmission shifter interlock lever is faulty.a broken interlock return spring hook will result in the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the ?park? position.chrysler issued letter to some customers.here the link to the letter : http://www.chrysler.com/webselfservice/pdf/k39.pdf problem is they issued a recommend free repairs to some owners that might have a problem for there 2006300c car butwhy cant they offer free repairsto everyone with same model cars and have the sameproblem. Also when you go to the dealership to buy the part to repair, you are put on a waiting list because the parts not in stock because of all the people that need to get there cars work on. My car was not able to shift and was stuck in park 2 hours waiting for a tow truck that can tow my car home. The dealership employee are aware of the problem,also the fact that some people are covered for repairs and other people with the same model with damages are not covered just doesn't make any sense.
Hello last night my wife almost died car stoppedon the freeway on the midlle of the night which she almost got rear ended at vey high speed .today took to the shop which the code it comesdesignate to the transmission problemwhich come to find out lots of others customer been experiencing the same issuesscary part is chrysler is not doing nothing aboutitthis is sad a company of this magnitude can even keep it honest with their product
The other day i got off work and drove off fine. I went to the bank and used the drive through because i had pulled in a little to far away from the window i put the car in park and reached out. After my transaction was done, i tried to put the car in drive and it was stuck in park. It would not budge. I googled the problem and found that many many people have had this same issue. The internet suggested pushing a pink override button which i did but it did not work. It stated that there was another button to push if that didn't work but that required taking the whole shift gear apart. None the less, had to call a tow and the guy informed that this was a problem with chrysler 300. I have also had a problem with the car stalling when making right turns?? i have only had this car a year. Low miles when i bought it. I just knew there was a recall on this and to my surprise there is not. So its sitting at the chrysler dealership and i can't imagine what my repair bill is going to be for something that chrysler should fix.
2006 chrysler 300c. Consumer writes in regards to engine failure. *ldthe consumer stated the vehicle was firmly locked in park. The vehicle was repaired.
Problem: momentary loss of power, check engine and etc lights flash. Sometimes stalls completely (when very slow or stopped). It has stopped on me a couple of times while turning. To stall while turning across traffic is unsafe.parts replaced so far: gas tank (recall)gas pumpaccelerator pedaldiagnosis: apparent intermittent connection at the pcm. Last repair attempt(11/29/17) the technician repaired the connection by aligning the pins (apparently some had pushed through the board) & cleaning the connection. It has worked fine for about 2 weeks since then, but is failing again.the technician now says there is a problem with the pcm (powertrain control module), possibly due to broken solder joints on the board that cannot be repaired.there are currently no pcms available from dealers and there are 67 units on backorder in the past few weeks . . . Many with similar failure modes.from the repair shop:"diagnosed and traced multiple faults to communication loss at power train control module. Removed unit from holder and while engine is running if the unit it tapped or shaken the engine will stumble or stall. - contacted computer repair shop and this is very common issue for several chrysler in last month or so . The main processor gets loose on circuit board but the contacts are so tiny repair is not possible. No local dealers have unit and there are 67 on back order in last weeks."
Unable to shift out of park. Dealer replaced entire shifter assembly because small pink plastic shift interlock latch was broken. Part: $167.50, labor: $198.00, total: $365.45service manager said the shift interlock latch isn't sold separately! it is well established that this is a faulty engineering design. There are multiple internet postings of the problem. Many have done diy repairs with a metal replacement part. I feel this should have been a recall or in the very least covered as a manufacturing defect whenever the part breaks. To top it off...the replacement is also plastic!
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300 c. The contact stated that the gear shifter lever became stuck in park. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the transmission shifter assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
My 2006 chrysler 300c gear wouldn't shift out of park.car starts fine, steering wheel unlocked but gears won't shift out of park.contacted tow truck, once arrived removed the cover of the gear panel and pushed in the little pink tab that apparently overrides the "park lock out mechanism" this a known issue with several chrysler vehicles.why hasn't chrysler issued a recall.googled the issue while waiting for the tow truck and you wouldn't believe the number of complaints about the same issue with other chrysler vehicles and with mine.chrysler needs to step-up and take responsibility for this defect.cost me $360 to get my car fixed, more like replaced the entire shifter assembly even though they could of purchased an after market metal part to fix their defective pink plastic part.i'll see how long this one lasts and of course it wasn't covered under the warranty.
On 3/6/12 i park my car in front of my house, at 4:20 pm.next morning i got in my car started it up but the gear shift would not move out of park. After two days of research and going on line it has been reported to chrysler group llc for many years that the pinky thing ( shift interlock latch ) plastic spring hook brakes off the latch and the gear select shift is stuck in park. This is a safty issue because a person (man/lady/teen or grand parent, could park any where (day/night) and be stranded (on the highway/rest stop area/parking lot, just about any where.
2006 chrysler 300c, automatic transmission. Transmission shifter would not shift out of park. The vehicle is equipped with a pink plastic transmission shifter interlock lever. This lever has a hook for the spring to hook onto. The hook broke, causing the shifter to lock in the "park" position. This leaves the car inoperable.
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 butdriving 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 from2000 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 idleerraticallyboth while in park and in drive and at slow speeds.
Gear shifter on my 2006 chrysler 300c got stuck in park on 6/25/17 at about 98,400 miles.luckily car was in my driveway when problem occurred and i was able to look up this issue online and found out this is a common problem with chrysler vehicles.apparently there was a k39 recall relating to this same gear shift problem.but for some reason, that recall only covered the 2005-2007 300 lx models, not the 300c model.here is link to recall letter:http://www.wkjeeps.com/misc/lx/tsb_300c_forums/csn_k39.pdf.i don't think this is right to not include the 300c models if it had the same poorly designed pink plastic transmission gear shift lever interlock return spring hook as this is the cause of the gear shifter being stuck in park.i found a youtube video on how to temporarily get my car out of park gear with a screwdriver.and another video to show people how to replace the transmission gear shift lever interlock return spring hook themselves.with the existence of these youtube videos, this should be a good indication that this is a common problem with some chrysler models.but why did they not recall the 2005-2007 300c models???here are links to the youtube videos:1)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxtdogvon1w, 2)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prorqdfjcp4, 3)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cd6ocitj3k
My vehicle will stall out on me intermittently. It mostly happens right after i get finished putting gas in my car. Unlike most other stories i've read about overfilling the gas tank, this happens to me sometimes when i put just a half of a tank of gas in my car. Now, as of nov. 7, 2013, it's done it well over 100 times; that's since the first time it happened in may. The dealership is a complete scam. They know this is a defect. They've charged me to fix everything from egr valves to pcms to spark plugs. Nothing has worked.then finally i decide to do some deep research, that's when i decided to file my complaint. There are 2 major issues i have. When at highway speeds, i'll lose all power and throttle response for a split second, then it'll kick back in. It's extremely dangerous, to say the least. The more frequent problem, is the car completely cutting off while either at idle, or traveling at a lower speed. Both situations happen almost always directly after i put gas in my car. This happens so much that it is becoming unbearable. Sometime it starts back up, and sometimes i have to wait a minute or two. It's ridiculous. I don't mind paying to have my car serviced. However, diagnose the problem, know that's the problem, and let's get it fixed. Don't run me through $3,000 worth of repairs, knowing that you've got countless others with the same model and model year, coming in around the same time, complaining about the same problem. You know what it is. That's no coincidence. And quite frankly, it's fraudulent. I've got my 5 year old son riding in the back seat. What happens the next time my car stalls out on the highway and loses power, with another car tailgating me? what if it's a tractor trailer next time? will they have enough time to brake or plow into the back of me? more unnecessary stress and worry for the loyal consumer. Thanks chrysler.
My 2006 chrysler 300c (hemi 5.7) will stall at low speeds or when stopped at a traffic light. The car does restart. At higher speeds (e.g,, 60mph), the vehicle will exhibit a sudden loss of power (drop in rpms, followed by a chime sound) as if the engine is about to stall, before reaccelerating again. The stalling/loss of power issue does not occur all the time. Sometimes, the car will operate as long as a day or two without incident. The dealer performed a complete system diagnostic - retrieved code po700 - related to loss of communication with pcm to multiple modules. (they may have been old stored codes.) then, they cleared the codes, road tested the car, but could not replicate the problem. The dealer returned the car and asked me to monitor it. They indicated that if the issue re-occurs, the vehicle will possibly need a pcm or ignition switch. My impression is that they are guessing at what the issue may be. The day after the car was returned to me, the same sudden stalling/loss of power issues recurred although the engine diagnostic light has not come on. I will be returning the car to the dealer, even though they have not been able to pinpoint the problem to date. I am very concerned about the sudden stalling and loss of power. This is a very serious safety issue that can result in an accident. I am married with a 9 month old baby.
My 2006 chrysler 300c was a car that was well taken care of. It had less than 90,000 miles at the date of the incident. I was in a drive-thru and i turned off the car to save fuel. When i went to restart the vehicle, the car made a loud grinding noise that sound similar to sticking a baseball card in bicycle spokes but much louder and stronger. I had the car towed to chuck clancy chrysler and i was informed that a valve seat had dropped and destroyed several cylinders. The bill was $3,000. This car was always maintained by maintenance records and the oil changed with pennzoil platinum ultra. To add to this story, i received the car back and the same issue happened again two weeks later. Needless to say, i was out another $4000 for this repair. Chrysler refused to cover it and gave me the cold shoulder. I would never purchase a chrysler product again.
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
2006 chrysler 300 srt8. Transmission locks in park.there have been several forums regarding this type of complaint.a part made of plastic commonly breaks costing a large repair bill.the part is not a regular maintenance item.i believe there is a recall on the 2005 model where they refer to it as a "pawl."it may also not allow the driver to put the vehicle in park, but i'm not having that problem.
After filling up my gas tank, i encountered numerous stalls while driving.thankfully, it was city driving early in the morning.since then, i have encountered numerous situations where the car has stalled after filling up.i initially thought it was bad gas (i.e. Water in my gas tank), however, i have since varied the fueling stations and brands i use and have seen no effect.it always seems to happen after i fill up, and it seems to go away after the tank has emptied a bit.the latest encounter was yesterday (i filled up two days prior) while i had my family in the car - multiple stalls in mid-day city traffic.and again this morning.the gas tank is still quite full (it shows over "f" on the gauge).i _never_ top off when i fill - i simply wait until the filler turns itself off when filling.i have never seen this problem prior to the first occurrence in mid november of 2012, which i initially (as indicated) wrote off as bad gas due to hurricane sandy (i figured the storm may have caused water in the tanks of gas stations).after hearing about numerous issues on this, i wanted to add my experiences to the growing list.the car in question is a 2006 chrysler 300c srt-8.
The 300 had a recall on the fuel tank, which was replaced january 2015 by tate in frederick md. Since then the stalling issue has gotten worse. I took the car to tate 4 times, and was told 4 different diagnostics. 1= transmission, 2= battery, 3=plugs & coils, 4=canister for extra fuel. I replaced the spark plugs & coils. Which didn't correct the issue. I took it to a 2nd dealer. Darcar's in rockville md and they are now telling me that its the transmission control module & power control module. My car no matter if there is a full tank or a 1/4 of tank stalls when i am at idle. It can stall once or the max is 9 times. I have a 1 1/2 year old & 5 year old which is a safety issue. I found this forum, which are other people having the same issue & different dealers are throwing different parts. I don't think the replacement of the fuel tank corrected this true issue. Can you please help me with discovering the true cause and making the cars safe for the drivers and passengers?
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the vehicle would not shift out of park. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop and the contact was informed that the shift housing needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 05v460000 (power train:automatic transmission). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 58,808.
The car stalls randomly.there seem to be two scenarios when the stalls occur.one scenario is at idle (less than 1000 rpm).the car will just stall at a red light, at a stop sign, a rolling stop, when driving at very low speeds, etc.the other scenario is at wot.all the dash light s flash on and off quickly, the car lurches violently, loss of power, occasional stall.these two situations may or not be related to each other.i have had the fuel tank replaced already because of the stalling that was occurring after fuel fill up.that took care of that specific stalling scenario.there still remain these two stalling scenarios.they are very well documented in the online forums.many drivers are experiencing the same symptoms.it seems to be happening to all 5.7 and 6.1 hemis in the 300s, chargers, challengers and jeeps.no dealers can find a definitive solution.i and many others love our cars, but this is just unacceptable.we don't want to give up on chrysler, we just want a solution.this is a very dangerous situation.our cars are stalling randomly.this is similar to the gm stalling debacle.please help us prevent a chrysler/dodge/jeep debacle.by the way, thank you for your work in helping to find a solution on the fuel fill stalling issue.the lifetime fuel tank replacement was an adequate solution.i must note to you that included in the fix was a statement saying that "this did not represent a dangerous or life-threatening situation."i disagree 100%.i almost died a few times due to the random stalling after fuel fill.we all know the dangers of random stalling - just ask gm car owners.
Most of the time, the engine will stall at a stop with all gauges dropping to zero.this also happens when the car is moving down the roadway.engine does not start smoothly.most times it takes at least two attempts to start it.sometimes upon restart the gauges remain at zero.upon start, engine will run for a brief time and will run maybe 1 block or so before stalling again. It will run without incident until the next episode.there may be a spread of 3 to 4 weeks between incidents.sometimes the engine speed jumps up without accelerator input making the car leap forward.this has happened once to me.sometimes when the engine is restarted and put into gear, the transmission does not engage immediately, but after a very brief delay causing a "jump" into gear when it does engage.the esp bas light comes on a majority of the time this happens.sometimes the gauges all drop to zero while the car is running.almost always, i can feel in the running of the engine that something is not quite (almost imperceptive missing) right before this happens.i took the car to a chrysler dealership immediately after this happened and asked them to read the codes.they told me many codes had been recorded.
The first time this happened was over a year ago. I had just filled up gas tank and pulled out of lot still in a parking lot of a shopping area. Turned left into a fast food place and car shuts down and would not restart until attempted several times. I was able to pull into a parking spot and went inside. Came out started car was pulling out of lot into traffic and car shuts down again. This time not to the liking of other drivers or myself. Restarted after several attempts drove home and did not happen again till i went on a trip a few months later. Half way through the trip i had to refuel and bingo it happened again after pulling out of gas station lot and turning left into traffic. This is not good. I was able to restart after several minutes and continued my trip on interstate without further incident. Since then it has been ok until just two days ago the 28th of december 2013. It happened again, after filling up and turning left at slow speed car shut down while pulling into a lot. It finally restarted after several attempts. After reading on line i'm not the only one with this problem. When it happened the first time i took to dealer, that i will never take it to again. Short story is they wanted to replace my transmission at the tune of $4500.00. I left there and drove to a transmission shop who diagnosed and said that there was nothing wrong with transmission. Problem appears to be getting worst and afraid to fill up and pull out into traffic. From what i understand there seems to be a problem with the fuel tank and related components. Please chrysler fix this problem, i love my 300c.
On christmas day, went to visit relatives in another state, parked car in a public parking lot, returned late at night to go home, car would not shift into gear.had to have car towed back to my state to mechanic, found out something the size of a "false finger nail" broke off inside.a small piece that looked like a woman's false nail painted pink costs me close to $1,000.00 between towing, buying the entire part since you cannot replace the pink "false nail", labor, transportation etc.why would chrysler make a car that they advertise as luxury and use a plastic piece as a component in it?the chrysler 300c, looks good from far, but it is far from good!
Vehicle completely stalls and shifts into low gear due to a known issue to chrysler with water entering the transmission through the dipstick tube. Contacted chrysler and was informed about a service bulletin with over 1100 complaints about this issue and they offer no assistance with repairs or issue a recall on this matter which may cost consumers up to 2500 to get fixed.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving various speeds, the vehicle jerked and stalled. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the failure was not duplicated. The failure recurred. Courtesy dodge in grand rapids, michigan (616-452-2143) and van andel and flikkema chrysler jeep in grand rapids, mi (616-363-9031) advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not taken to either of the dealers. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 88,700.

Park lock out failed. Unable to shift out of park.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was driving north on the njtp and was in the process of passing another car when suddenly my car went into neutral or disengaged from the transmission.the engine accelerated, but there was no power transferred to the road.i had to pull into the break down lane and turn off the engine with the hope that the electronic module would reset itself so that i could engage drive gear.the procedure worked, but now the transmission readily disengages from drive with light to moderate throttle application.clearly, there is something major wrong with the transmission or its electronic management that could prove dangerous to me or other vehicles on the road.
300 c chrysler gear shift is stuck in park.... Chrysler dealershipwill not do anything to help problems. I have had nothing but problems since i own a chrysler...
My 300c seemed to stick sometimes, but with a nice pull it would engage, until yesterday. I'm glad i was home, my gears stuck in park and i have no idea what to do now. I hope there is a recall on this part.
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
Cannot move shift from park position
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-guarded decline. Vehicle will stall and surge while in idle as well. I have been able to replicate this issue reliably 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!!!
After leaving the gas station (filling the tank) the car sputtered a few times, then as i approached a stop light it stalled out.i pulled away okay but it stalled again at the next light.after getting gas, the car is hesitant while driving and stalls out, usually lasting for 1-3 miles.
Wife was driving car and transmission fluid was pouring out when put on a rack and adding fluid unnecessarily there was no leakage car would not move did a transmission service runs great but there is still water in transmission fluid because it is strawberry color car was drove two miles with fluid in transmission.
I filled up my chrysler 300 just after buying it for the first time. After fill up i pulled away from the gas station and got to the stop light and it stalled. I restarted it and it would not go into gear at first but after a minute it did. Went for about hundred feet and it stalled again in front of my house. Then the next morning it ran fine until i filled it up again and it did the same thing stalled right after i filled it with gasi checked with the local dealer and they said they are aware of this problem and that it is an issue with the design of the gas tank and purge valve that only can be corrected by replacement of the fuel tank. I checked online and this an issue hashappened for many owners and they have been told the same thing by theredealers. It is a factory design error that only be corrected by the fuel tank replacement as well as the purge valve. The reason it stalls is that when filled up the tank and purge vale floods the throttle body with raw fuel and the car stallsthis stalling can cause an accident very easy as well as effecting the emissions of the vehicle. I feel that chrysler should issue a recall for this defect which i understand has effected the dodge charger as well as the challenger.
Vehicle will not shift out of park.vehicle will start normally, however the console mounted automatic shifter will not shift out of park. Problem appears to be with the pink plastic transmission shift interlock latch.the tab that is connected to the return spring fails and does not allow the transmission to shift out of park. This was discussed with local service department and they acknowledged this has happened to other vehicles.an internet research has indicated this to be a wide spread problems for 2005-2007 chrysler, dodge vehicles to the extent that there is an after-marked aluminum part to resolve the issue.if the issue is sufficient to warrant an after-marked part to be created it is serious enough to warrant investigation and consideration for a recall.
It is extremely difficult to put shifter into park.it is usually stuck between r and p.i am required to forcefully pull shifter into neutral to start.this car has been plagued with some type of electrical issue that i have spent nearly $1000 trying to determine.i am unaware if the problem is related, but my concern is when it appears to be in park, the backup light are on.i can push the shift to put into park. I have removed the shroud in hopes to figure it out. This car is a pain.
My 2006 chrysler 300c srt8 6.1l engine stalls randomly when stopped, coming to a stop or cruising speed. Sometimes it'll take months for reoccurrence then out of nowhere it happens while, engine stalled. Happens while make a turn at a light also. Starts back up and sometimes stalls instantly. After like the third stall check engine light comes on and the only fault code is p0700. Bought the car in 2015 and less than two months later is when i experienced my first occurrence. Took it to the dealership three times that year and they said they could not duplicate the problem or figure out what's wrong. About five months later (2016) it happens again, engine stalls out of nowhere on the freeway. This time it wouldn't start so i had it towed back to the dealership. After two months of them having my car they said it was the transmission control module so i agreed to replace it. Two months later same thing again so obviously the transmission control module wasn't the problem. Might i add that randomly while driving there is a hard "buck" from the transmission, like it wants to lock up. I've been in and out of the dealership with this problem for two years now and chrysler claims to not know what the problem is. I am terrified every time i'm in this vehicle. I feel it is an accident waiting to happen. I'm still paying for this car but need to know what the issue is and how to solve it. Dealership says there is no recalls or updates available for my car.
2006 chrysler 300c | engine stall while driving | possibly tipm-relatedi purchased my 2006 chrysler 300c just short of 6 months ago. Within the first week, as i was taking a left hand turn the ignition completely shut off. While the power was still active, i could not drive the car until i turned over the vehicle to restart the car. Thinking it was possibly a fringe issue i ignored to issue. Fast forwarding to today, my wife and i have experienced roughly 25-50 occurrences of the vehicle shutting off while the vehicle was in motion. I have been paying for a vehicle that only seems to work when it feels like it and what concerns me most is that every day i drive this vehicle i am endangering the lives of my wife and five children.
The floor shifter is stuck in park an hour away from home. There is actually a recall on this problem (chrysler customer satisfaction notification k39 transmission shifter interlock lever) that includes my model and year, but not my specific vehicle. The vin numbers of vehicles that qualify for free replacement are apparently too selective, judging by the number of complaints online of like vehicles that have experienced the same problem. Why limit the recall to specific vin numbers, when even chrysler has identified that there is a range of vehicles that could, and actually are incurring the problem, but are not being covered?
After filling the car a chrysler 300c stalls.this is now an ongoing problem as the car now stalls after fueling.the stall occurs mostly when stopped at a red-light or driving at a low rate of speed.it has now progressed to include when accelerating onto a interstate.the stall causes all safety systems to fail ie. Breaks, steering, et.i have called the local dealership and the chrysler hotline 800-992-1997 and was informed that the national highway traffic safety administration, chrysler will extend fuel-tank warranties does not apply to 2006 chrysler 300c models.i was told the malfunctioning shut-off float and gas tank neck splash issue is not covered.

I purchased this 2006 chrysler 300c in december 2010. I got a carfax report and there wasn't any problems reported on it. Well june 2011 the shift gears got stuck in park and i couldn't shift it down. So my husband sprayed some wd40 on the shift gears and shook the shifter and push the pink thingy thing in and it then it shifted down into drive. Then in september 2011 the shift gears got stuck again and this time the shifter wouldn't shift into park. I was frustrated so i look on the internet about the shift gears on these cars and it was over 100 complaints about the shift gears gettin stuck. So i called chrysler and inform them about this matter. They did have it fix by a chrysler dealership but i hope that i don't have this problem again. If i had known that chrysler 300 had a shift gear mechanism defect i wouldn't of never bought this car...

My 2006 chrysler 300 stuck in park in a shopping center parking lot. Waited 2 hrs for a tow truck in the hot az heat. Truck driver said this is a common problem for chrysler and what he gets the most calls for. Dealership also stated it is a common problem. I was the 3rd car that day coming into the dealership with the same problem. Cashier stated it happens everyday and chrysler should recall. It is a plastic piece that breaks on the gearshift. It was expensive to repair.they lead me to believe it could happen again. Chrysler should recall the cars and fix with a durable part at their expense. It makes me nervous to know it could happen again since i drive back and forth to san diego and don't want this to happen in the middle of the desert.
I stopped to get gas and when i completed the transaction i started the car and it would not shift out of park. The tow truck driver said he picks up 3 a week with the same exact issue. The cost of the tow and the repair was about 500 dollars. I just looked on line and seems a lot of people are having this same issue. Seems to me that chrysler should make it out of metal and fix a 40k cars.
My 2006 chrysler 300c gear wouldn't shift out of park.car starts fine, steering wheel unlocked but gears won't shift out of park.contacted tow truck, once arrived removed the cover of the gear panel and pushed in the little pink tab that apparently overrides the "park lock out mechanism" this a known issue with several chrysler vehicles.why hasn't chrysler issued a recall.googled the issue while waiting for the tow truck and you wouldn't believe the number of complaints about the same issue with other chrysler vehicles and with mine.chrysler needs to step-up and take responsibility for this defect.cost me $360 to get my car fixed, more like replaced the entire shifter assembly even though they could of purchased an after market metal part to fix their defective pink plastic part.i'll see how long this one lasts and of course it wasn't covered under the warranty.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that the vehicle became stuck in the park shift. The vehicle was towed an authorized dealer where the shifter housing was replaced. The contact called the manufacturer who reduced the repair costs. The current and failure mileages were approximately 54,000.
The passenger seatbelt indicator light fails to extinguish in the instrument panel when an adult passenger is seated with the belt is securely clicked.if i wiggle the latch, sometimes it will go out, but i wonder what effect this has on the passenger restraint system if the belt is indicated as unfastened.it seems the seatbelts should be warranted for the life of the vehicle and anything necessary to protect passengers should have no tolerance for erratic operation.
My seat belt warning will not shut off as the belt is fastened
I had a person getting in and they attempted to fasten seatbelt and heard a pseudo click, but a few seconds later as i started to move, the warning sound started indicating the seatbelt was not fastened.the seatbelt seemed to be secure but something was not perceiving the buckle was fastened.i wonder if the airbags would function in this situation?this is also a car with the additional airbags installed because i have small children.i thought it was a good safety feature to have but now am told it is a liability.
While slowing for upcoming traffic i signaled to the gmc dually truck by tapping my brakes...he was talking to his passenger and didn't see me...he hi me at about 55 mph...the impact pushed me into oncoming traffic spinning me around 3 times...the drivers seatback broke and instead of keeping me in my seat (i was seatbelted) i ended up in the right rear back seat slamming my head against the right read door and also hurt my back...i don't think the seat is safe if it did that.
I have had to change the brakes on my chrysler 300c twice in this year an now i need to get some more brakes . It is a 2006 an the company i bought it from is now out of business which was prebul , they lied an said the changed the rotors an they did not , i got the car used in 2008 and i have had nothing but problems with the brakes an rotors , i need some help an surely this is not the way chrysler treat there customers!!! this car has been make noise since i got it !!
On christmas day i was on the 152 heading towards gilroy when traffic started to slow down and stop in front of me. I tapped my brakes to let the gmc dually pickup behind me know i was stopping. He didn't notice until it was too late and hit my car from behind. It pushed me into oncoming traffic and spun me around and slammed me into a fence on the other side of the road. The driver seatback in my 2006 chrysler 300c broke which threw me out of my seat and into the right side of the back seat slamming me up against the right rear door. The seatbelt ended up on my feet. I don't think the seat should fail like that. I would like to know how this seat was tested and passed.
The engine shut off completely while driving. This caused a total loss in power steering, head lights, and anti-lock brakes. Fortunately i was on a well lit road with a long straightaway and able to muscle the car to a safe stop. Had i been a few miles farther down the road i would have been on a winding road with no street lights. It would have certainly caused a major accident.i took the car into a mechanic and they found nothing wrong with it.
After filling the car a chrysler 300c stalls.this is now an ongoing problem as the car now stalls after fueling.the stall occurs mostly when stopped at a red-light or driving at a low rate of speed.it has now progressed to include when accelerating onto a interstate.the stall causes all safety systems to fail ie. Breaks, steering, et.i have called the local dealership and the chrysler hotline 800-992-1997 and was informed that the national highway traffic safety administration, chrysler will extend fuel-tank warranties does not apply to 2006 chrysler 300c models.i was told the malfunctioning shut-off float and gas tank neck splash issue is not covered.
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.
After refueling engine stalled. Hard restart in busy traffic.problem continues today.
Depressed accelerator pedal lightly to proceed through an intersection.roughly 10 mph into the acceleration the vehicle suddenly without warning accelerated on its own through the next intersection causing a 3 car accident and 4 people injured.all vehicles involved were disabling damage with mine being the worst, total loss.air bags did not deploy causing injury to passenger and i resulting in seizures to passenger from head trauma.this defect of the vehicle has caused a major financial burden on me and my family from the date of accident and well into the future with my insurance rates since i have been deemed at faullt due to car accelerating instead of allowing me to stop.*dt
Started to stall on a trip to la. In jan. 2014,stalls after every refill.usually stalled turning on to entry ramp or on entry ramp of interstate.no power steering or power brakes .throw into neutral restart,power steering then kicks in throwing me all over the entrance ramp. Stalls after every refill,i bought this car for trips thats why the mileage is so low,now i'm afraid to drive it for the purpose i bought it. I'm a chrysler retiree! totally unsafe for my purposes.
Since last march my chrysler 300c srt8 2006 is turning off the engine while in movement. I noticed the problem always happen when the fuel tank is full oraround 3/4. It's a very serious problem because i almost crashed the car many times considering that when the engine turns off the steering gets heavy and the brakes doesn't work properly. Now i'm not confident to put my family in the car because i am afraid to have a collision and hurt myself and my family. I made a research at the internet and i realized that a lot of 300c owners have the same problem that it's called as engine stall. Now i want chrysler to help me to solve this matter considering it already happened several times and it's very dangerous to drive the car with this defective.
I was turning right at a stop light, immediately following a gas tank fill, when the engine stalled and power steering and brakes failed. The engine continued to stall during deceleration or when stopped for the next 30 miles.
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.
My chrysler 330 when filling up gas tank ,shuts off frequently when driving..i have no brakes,power steering,& engine shutoff..i was able to pull off highway & roads w/ luck 7 not causing any accidents..i think nhtsa # on this issue is-pe-13016..it is a dangerous situation that i hope gets corrected asap..thx for your help...this happen 3 plus times...
Vehicle stalls in the middle of the road for no apparent reason.vehicle stalled initially while driving 45 mph and i lost power steering and had to pull over to the side of the road to restart it.dealer had vehicle for over 6 months and could not solve the stalling issue.vehicle currently stalls while sitting at lights etc.has not stalled lately while drivingdealer finally released vehicle to me and basically said there was nothing more they could do as it was a manufacture issue.
This has happened at least 3 times in the last 2 years.i would fill up with fuel and after leaving the gas station the vehicle would stall causing me to lose power steering and brakes and having to stop in the middle of traffic. I received a alert from chrysler last year but have misplaced the letter.it stated that if i experienced this problem that i should take it to a dealer and they would replace the gas tank.
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.
I fill my car up at gas station and while driving my car will completely cut off out of nowhere
After refueling tank i drove away from the pumps and onto the roadway, during acceleration to speed limit (50mph), at 25mph the engine stalled, with traffic quickly approaching i might add, and left me coasting. I was able to pull off to the side of the road thankfully, at which time i had to attempt a restart 3 times before it did start, when it started i had no issues for a few months. This exact situation happened to me every other month for a year until i learned to not fuel the vehicle to the top. It is a considerable inconvenience to not be able to fill the car to its capacity, especially on long trips. I am just afraid that this will happen, at any time, with no warning, quite an uncomfortable feeling actually. I hope for a satisfactory resolution to this issue. Thank you.
Car stalls unexpected after fueling up
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact could not shift the vehicle out of the park position. The contact notified the manufacturer. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the brake inner lock return spring hook fractured. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c srt-8. The contact stated that when depressing the brakes, there was an intermittent squeal. The noise could be heard after driving the vehicle for approximately 15-20 minutes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times where the brakes pads and rotors were replaced but to no avail. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance.the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 262 and the current mileage was 10,387.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c.while driving approximately 45 mph, the contact heard an extremely loud squealing noise when the brake pedal was depressed.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but no brake failure was identified.recently, the vehicle was taken to the dealer again for the same noise; however, no failure could be found.the contact was very discouraged and embarrassed about the loud, annoying squealing noise.she stated that there was no resolution for the brake noise, which was frustrating and an inconvenience to have to continuously take the vehicle to the dealer.the current mileage was 25,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.
I have had to change the brakes on my chrysler 300c twice in this year an now i need to get some more brakes . It is a 2006 an the company i bought it from is now out of business which was prebul , they lied an said the changed the rotors an they did not , i got the car used in 2008 and i have had nothing but problems with the brakes an rotors , i need some help an surely this is not the way chrysler treat there customers!!! this car has been make noise since i got it !!
Within the first 300 miles the inside of all four brake rotors started to show premature scoring and grooves also a grinding noise and brake pedal pulsing would occur when the brakes would be applied. It has gotten a lot worse and there is less then 3,000 miles on the car. In spite of a chrysler service bulletin #05-006-06 titled "front and/or rear brake rotors grooved/scored" chrysler motors service would not do any thing except turn my rotors on a lathe at a cost to me of $200.00 dollars. I was informed by chrysler motors service that my problem would re-occur in a short period of time and it is a common problem with all chrysler 300c srt-8, dodge charger srt-8 and dodge magnum srt-8 and jeep grand cherokee srt-8. All of these vehicles are equipped with "brembo" brakes. There is definitely some sort of a defect with this brake system. A search on line shows that there are hundreds of owners of the chrysler 300c srt-8 with the same exact brake problem.
Hello,i am a current chrysler vehicle owner and ive been having issues where my 2006 chrysler 300c srt8 which just shuts off without any warnings or trouble codes reported to the cars computer. There are times when im driving on a busy highway and the car will just stall out. Each time i take my car to the auto mechanics, they arent able to identify anything wrong as there arent any codes detected. My vehicle even stalled while at the mechanics shop and they still werent able to assist as no codes were triggered. Over the past 2 years, ive spent thousands of dollars and countless hours, stuck on major highs as well as replacing car components in a big effort of trying to resolve this concern. To date, i am still experiencing these anxieties. Ive been out on relative web sites looking this problem up and it appears this has been happening to thousands of chrysler srt/srt8 owners and they are dealing with same concerns that i am.im including a url link to one of the blog of 10+ pages of complaints from owners who are lost, confused and dont know what to do.http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-47313.html one of the major reasons why i am asking for some assistance is both awareness to the general public, as there could be serious accidents as a result. Another reason is a proactive effort at hoping to get assistance to get feedback from chrysler to help resolve these concerns.
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.
After refueling, my car suddenly stalled as my children and i were leaving the gas station.i was able to restart the car and continue driving.as i was driving, the car started losing acceleration and would "jump" around.the check engine light and eps light came on.i pulled over,turned the car off, and manually turned the eps light off.the car started, the eps light went off, but on occasion on it would lose power.the check engine light has been on ever since.i took the car to the dealership the next day and i have been told that the crankshaft sensor needs replacing but can't guarantee that is what's wrong with the car since he keeps getting different codes each time he does diagnostic.
This has happened at least 3 times in the last 2 years.i would fill up with fuel and after leaving the gas station the vehicle would stall causing me to lose power steering and brakes and having to stop in the middle of traffic. I received a alert from chrysler last year but have misplaced the letter.it stated that if i experienced this problem that i should take it to a dealer and they would replace the gas tank.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost power and stalled. The steering wheel seized and the brakes became very difficult to operate. After ten minutes, the contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 109,000.
The car cut off 3 times in one day for no apparent reason; once while pulling out into oncoming traffic, then after fueling the car and pulling out of the gas station into oncoming traffic, then while driving down the street at about 35 mph. Fortunately, i safely guided the car to the side of the road to avoid a collision.the dealership replaced 2 sensors (code:p0038)- $501.98. One week later, the car continued to cut off while driving. The dealership codes that came up: p0038, p0058, p0052, p0032, pmc & engine harness,& pmc engine computer - $2000 - declined repairs because sensors (p0038) were just replaced . Chrysler service bulletin 08-34-05 june 30, 2015 addresses this issue. Chrysler corp -michael browsowski says the car (now 56,484 miles) is out of warranty so they owe us nothing, but as a good will gesture, they will pay for 2 parts only - not labor. He admitted that a car cutting off is unacceptable, but refused to cover the entire cost of repair. He also refused to reply to my written complaint in writing. Chrysler continues to shirk their responsibility to recall and repair this manufacturer's defect.

Walked out of the house to go to work. Car started fine but could not get it out of park. Got online found out their was a recall and this is a common problem. Called the dealership and they said my car is not under the recall. Now the dealership wants to charge me 350 to replace the shifter but its only a small part. If this is common why are all the cars on this recall?
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.
5 minutes after filling up my 06 chrysler 300c srt-8 6.1l at a gas station i was crossing over traffic to make a left turn and my car died in the middle of oncoming traffic. It took several minutes to restart then lurched forward after put into gear. This is the second time right after filling my tank this has occurred. The time before it stalled merging onto interstate on ramp.
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

After filling the car with gas, the car starts without any issues and drives off without any problems. As the car slows down whether stopping or turning the car will shut off. In the middle of a turn the car veers into the other lane because there is no power steering. The car has to stopped before it can be restarted. Also if you are entering the interstate after refilling with fuel, the vehicle will reach the desired speed without any problems to merge into traffic, after merging into traffic as soon the desired speed is reach and the motor slows, the car motor will shut off in traffic. This scenario will continue until some gas is burned out of the gas tank. Afterwards the cars runs fine.i took the car to the chrysler dealership several times and they could not find anything wrong. They did not charge me for the inspection because they could find anything wrong.
I own a 2006 chrysler 300. Twice yesterday my steering wheel locked up while driving. I could not turn the car in either direction. I had to bring the car to a stop in the middle of traffic, turn the car off and back on and then the steering was fine. This has happened twice in one day and is obviously a defect. This is a major issue for me because if i'm driving on the highway it could cause a serious or fatal accident. I took the car to chrysler and they said they cannot detect a problem.
This is the fourth time for this incident my car gave no indication it was about to stall no lights on dash board .it appeared that something switch the ignition to the accessory position. Unable to steer, or use the breaks the car stop immediately can not get to a safe place..has been to the chrysler dealer four time this year for other related problems. But chrysler was not able to diagnosis or repair this problem. Was told it would not read a code.it was internal problem. For 21days they kept my car without repair..second visit was 9-10 days with approximately five day with the owner my latest stay was 4days. My car drove approxmate; 50 miles before stalling again. For the first time i use another repair shop other than chrysler. The worker seem well pleased when i stated i would not return with the same problem. I spoke with the manger and could not get the problem solved.
Filled up the car and upon pulling onto the highway the car stalls and shuts off.very dangerous situation for my family as well as others.i am surprised thus far,very thankful,no fatalities have been reported.
Car stalls when idle, car stalls when at low speed, car stalls when starting to drive (at low speeds), all power/electric cuts out intermittently while in motion.
I was turning right at a stop light, immediately following a gas tank fill, when the engine stalled and power steering and brakes failed. The engine continued to stall during deceleration or when stopped for the next 30 miles.
Our 2006 chrysler 300c dies after fueling the gas tank to full. It has died in intersections were we have almost been run into and in turns where is locks up and there is no power anything and have almost crashed. We have taken it to the dealership and continuously pay money to fix what they think it is and now for the third time they are asking for almost 1800 dollars to replace the tank. I can definitely see how this is a major problem and a huge safety issue.
I had just refueled (filled up - did not continue fueling after the pump auto-stopped) and continued driving to my destination (about 3-5 minutes). I had just completed a left turn, approaching a red light, so i was "coasting" at about 15 mph when the engine died. Luckily, i was beside of a vacant parking lot and was able to veer into the lot and off the highway. However, in doing so, i noticed that i had lost steering capabilities and it was very difficult to steer the car off the highway. It was a good thing i wasn't driving at a higher speed and going around a curve, because i would've surely wrecked. The instrument panel was still lit up (compass, odometer, radio station, etc), but the engine light came on. After stopping, i placed it in park, turned off the switch and restarted the car. There was some hesitation, but it did start. Continuing to my destination, i could occasionally feel the car "sputtering" or hesitating like it wanted to shut down again, but it did not happen again before i made it home. However, on my way to work this morning and before i left my driveway, the car acted like it wanted to die again. I had backed out of my garage and put it in drive, slightly pressed the accelerator and it "sputtered". It continued "sputtering" periodically on my way to work (6-8 minute drive). I am really becoming very nervous about driving our country roads, in fear that it will shut down and i will lose the ability to maneuver the car to safety until i can regain power.
I have had this car for 7 years, never had an issue. On february 23,2014 i went to shell and filled up the car with $49.00. I do not remember if i ever filled the car up before. I'm sure i have but i usually put 20/30 bucks in. But i just found out about stop n shop gas savings and received a discount. I tried to put 50 in but it only took 49.00. I got back in the car and i tried to pull away from the pump and it shut down. I thought maybe it was a fluke since i was basically at a roll. I drove 2 blocks and at the traffic light it died. I proceeded to make a u-turn to return home. The car died 3 times in a 5 block span. I took the car to my cousin who had a computer, no codes came up but the car shut down twice. I parked the car and took out a different car. My cousin thought it was bad gas or a bad oil change which i had done on feb 22, 2014 i just returned home and googled,"chrysler 300c stalling" and found the article that this has been occurring, and here i am. I guess i will contact chrysler in the morning.
Vehicle stalls in the middle of the road for no apparent reason.vehicle stalled initially while driving 45 mph and i lost power steering and had to pull over to the side of the road to restart it.dealer had vehicle for over 6 months and could not solve the stalling issue.vehicle currently stalls while sitting at lights etc.has not stalled lately while drivingdealer finally released vehicle to me and basically said there was nothing more they could do as it was a manufacture issue.
The steering rack has completely cracked on my car.it is cracked all the way around.i had just finished an 800 mile trip and it is likely it cracked some time during the trip.there was no clunk or noticeable noise; i found the crack while changing my oil after the trip.i am concerned as this could have deadly consequences.
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 several 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.
After refueling engine stalled. Hard restart in busy traffic.problem continues today.
We were driving cross country from michigan to texas on the highway. We were in the middle lane going 65 miles per hour. The car stalled and it wouldn't start up again. My husband couldn't control the car. He put the flashers on. Fortunately no one hit us. Cars started driving around us. He was finally able to start the car. We had the kids in the car and it felt like we were stalled forever. We were afraid for the rest of the 2 day drive. I went straight to the chrysler dealership the next day after getting back from the trip. They checked the car and said that they couldn't get the car to stall, so they said they couldn't do anything.it had stalled again the following year.
Chrysler 300c 2006, outer tie rod broke at 30k and again at 37k miles. I bought car new, and it always had a vibration dealer told me at all complaints there was nothing wrong and it was tires. Replaced/changed tiresafter 30k tie rod change, and it did little for vibration. On state inspection today, was shown that tie rod had 1/2 inch of play on replacement mopar part. Search online finds that this is a common complaint.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated the tie rod that was connected to the steering column fractured from the vehicle.the vehicle towed was to the dealer and the contact was informed that the tie rode had rusted and fractured. The contact stated that the tie rode was previously replaced at 30,000 miles. The contact beleived the failure to be a manufacturing defect.the vin was unknown. The failure mileage and current mileages were 60,000.
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.
After refueling tank i drove away from the pumps and onto the roadway, during acceleration to speed limit (50mph), at 25mph the engine stalled, with traffic quickly approaching i might add, and left me coasting. I was able to pull off to the side of the road thankfully, at which time i had to attempt a restart 3 times before it did start, when it started i had no issues for a few months. This exact situation happened to me every other month for a year until i learned to not fuel the vehicle to the top. It is a considerable inconvenience to not be able to fill the car to its capacity, especially on long trips. I am just afraid that this will happen, at any time, with no warning, quite an uncomfortable feeling actually. I hope for a satisfactory resolution to this issue. Thank you.
Tie rods, rocker arm.
Engine stalled for first time less than 2 miles after fill up at 25 mph on city street. Immediately loss power assist of both steering and brakes. Car weights 4040 lbs and i had a difficult time pulling into a parking lot and getting the car stopped. Car was immediately restarted. No future problems until nearly every refill when it stalls within first few seconds or 2 miles. Car now has 79550 miles.my wife drives this most frequently but i always fill the gas tank. I told her when it stalls, steer straight, put car in neural, restart,and hope you do not have to stop quickly.in nhtsa action number pe13016 chrysler's [xxx] letter aug 9, 2013 last page 17 states "if astall after refuel conditions occurs, the vehicle has functioning steering and brake systems". True but with out power assist on steering and brakes car is very difficult to control. Most women and small men would have difficulty safely stopping car.chrysler concludes this issue poses and minor risk to vehicle safety. I am a retired mechanical engineer and worked 40 years with power trains and strongly disagree.in this review vehicles 5, 6, and 7 all had problems with swollen refueling floats allowing the floats to stick and not function properly. All three cars were 2006 300c with 5.7 liter hemi engines the same as mine..on a11.page 15, chrysler acknowledges the vent valves was changed for my 2007. This appears to acknowledge a poor or faulty design in my 2006.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Started to stall on a trip to la. In jan. 2014,stalls after every refill.usually stalled turning on to entry ramp or on entry ramp of interstate.no power steering or power brakes .throw into neutral restart,power steering then kicks in throwing me all over the entrance ramp. Stalls after every refill,i bought this car for trips thats why the mileage is so low,now i'm afraid to drive it for the purpose i bought it. I'm a chrysler retiree! totally unsafe for my purposes.
I was driving down the street when the vehicle just stalled on me. Power steering went out as well ws pretty hard to get to the side of the road. Than i took it to the mechanic to get it checked out and it stalled again while trying to park the vehicle.
Purchased car used and within 24 hours had car stall on me totaling about 6 times now within 2 weeks. It has stalled everywhere from highway speeds to idling and while in reverse. Car starts back up without problem if put in neutral or park. Have had fuel injectors cleaned, new spark plugs ( manufacturer suggested copper) and all new ignition coils. Dealership said the stalling was caused by old spark plugs and worn ignition coils but continues to stall after all of these were replaced. It doesn't seem to matter what speed i am going, but seems to stall more when i reach around a quarter tank of gas. The car has stalled on me several times in traffic and while entering and exiting highway. I do not feel it is safe to drive especially with kids and family in the car, there is no warning of stall and is very unpredictable.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c which was purchased in june 2007. During routine maintenance on the vehicle, the left outer tie rod was loose and the dealer made repairs accordingly. Within the next 3,000 miles, during a routine maintenance check, the contact requested that the dealer inspect the left and right outer tie rod for general purposes. The dealer confirmed that the right tie rod was also defective. The tie rods were inspected a second time and the dealer found the left tie rod was loose. The tie rods were replaced a third time. There were no related recalls. The failure mileage was 24,890. The current mileage was 34,000. Updated 03/04/10 transmission fluid was leaking. The dealer replaced the plug adapter. Updated 07/08/10.
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.
On june 11, 2009 i went in to have tires put on my 2006 chrysler 300 at southern tire, lexington park, maryland. The mechanic called me to inform me that the inner tie rods needed to be replaced prior to putting tires on the vehicle, and that he had called the local dealership, park dodge, chrysler jeep and was told that the part was on back order for 6 months and there was a total of 3,123 on back order. I went to the dealership myself the same evening after speaking with the parts managerby phone and ordered the part ( p/n 68028831ac) but was told the same thing. He informed me that ishould call the customer care line at chrysler for further assistance. I called the customer care line that evening to express my concerns and was told that because of the state of chrysler i should understand. I expressed to ask a customer to wait 6 months for a part was unreasonable. I was told to give them 48 hours to make a decision as to how to help me and some one would contact me. On june 12th i arrived home and there was a message on my answering machine stating that chrysler would not be able to assist me with a rental or loaner car because my car is out of warranty (92,000 miles). I called the customer care center and asked to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor informed me that they would have to contact the dealership and that she would call me back the next working day. I received no call. I continued to call around and go onto the internet in search of the part and to no avail it was not found. Chrysler has told me it is on national back order and they are working to get the part as soon as they can but there is nothing they can do for me. I drive almost 150 miles a day to work. My front tires are getting very bad and the left one is "coupling" according to the mechanic. I don't feel safe in the vehicle.why are there so many parts on backorder and none in the country if this is not an issue with this make and model vehicle?
Hood shocks/struts failure on 2006 chrysler 300c srt8.the two hood shocks failed to keep the hood open causing it to close without warning.i was preparing to jumpstart the vehicle and the hood slammed close with the cable connected.i will take the vehicle to chrysler for service.
Door handle has broken twice. First, it broke on the front driver door. The, today, 05/06/14, it broke on the back passenger door. There is a small piece of plastic that has appear to crack and break causing the door handle to separate from the door. Online forums report many users with this same issue. Dodge has a door handle recall. Chrysler and dodge are the same family. This car needs a recall on the door handle.
Outside door handle broke loose when i opened my car door on my 2006, chrysler 300c.all of my door handles are very loose. I should not have to pay out of pocket expense for this type of defect.
Making a u-turn and my car cuts off, i hit the brakes immediately but still hit the curb with my wheels and passenger side bumper. Please recall this gas tank issue. These cars are not safe!! they cut off at random times, unpredictable.
Vehicle stalls at random. Today i was driving 30-40 mph and my engine stalls and turns off. I was stuck in the middle of a busy intersection off a freeway ramp. Where is the recalling on this? are they waiting for deaths? this has been an on going serious issue and needs to be resolved. This vehicle is very dangerous to drive!
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that driver side exterior door handle fractured from the vehicle.in addition, the headlights were inoperable. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where they advised the contact that the head lamp module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not inspected for the exterior door handle failure.the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000. The vin was not available.
I have had constant issues with the control arms, tie rods, and the door handles are all broken. I had to replace my radiator twice now. I love my car, but i am highly disappointed with the costs that i have had with this car. The radiator issues have come while the car was in motion. My engine died without warning while i was driving. I never had any warnings prior to the motor blowing. I have regular maintenance done to my car, buta new engine, 2 radiators, tie rods, and control arm repairs/changes seem to be the continuum for my car. The door handles are cosmetic and have not been repaired. I have records from my dealership and another place i entrust with my vehicle.
I have had problems with my 2006 chrysler 300c door handles for quite some time now. After a year or two when i first purchased the vehicle, the back exterior (chrome) right door handle became partially detached. I had it repaired and since then, the very same door handle as well as the exterior door handle on the driver's side is partially detached. Also, the handle on the passenger side is completely detached. This is a big problem. I bought my car brand new and i have had numerous problems with it. As pricey as this vehicle is, you would think that chrysler would use the best parts for their vehicles. There needs to be a recall on these handles. When i replaced it before, it cost about $200 and this is ridiculous. I should not have to pay to replace these handles when clearly there is an issue on their end. I also want to add that my car has stalled numerous times before after putting gas in it and the oil light would come on sometimes. My headlights also don't work properly. I have to keep the headlight knob in the auto position just for them to remain on otherwise the lights will blink on and off. So during the daytime, my headlights are on. I didn't have this issue until after i took my car for an oil change at the dealership. I absolutely hate to take my car to the dealership (hebert's town & country) because they never can seem to fix the problem or they end up creating one.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c.while driving 15 mph, the vehicle shook and came to a complete stop.the dealer stated that cylinder number six failed and was causing the engine to lose compression.the dealer will repair the vehicle in approximately two weeks.the contact stated that the vehicle has been properly maintained.the current and failure mileages were 46,900.updated 01/17/08the dealer stated door to vehicle came off. Updated 01/17/08
On may 6, 2010 reported to chrysler that the hood of my 2006 300c would not stay in a up right position.current mileage at time of report 32,000.when i first raised hood, it stayed up right for a moment and than came crashing down on my head.i raised hood again and found that hood would only stay in up right position for a moment and then crash down to the close position.the struts that hold hood up right have to be replaced and chrysler offer to replace for $50.00.i find this offer unacceptable.with only 32,000 miles on car, i figure hood is only open approx. 11 times for car maintenance.with hood crashing down sudden can cause serious injury to head, back, hands and other body parts.i consider this a very unsafe condition and a recall should be put in place and struts replaced at no charge to customer.
The hood feel on my head nearly knocking me out. The struts designed to keep it open failed to keep it open and it came crashing down.
The frontend has death wobble going on the highway more than 65mph i've had the whole front end replaced without solving the problem, the motor also was replaced due to one of the cylinder going right threw the motor and it happened again after motor over heated a year later

All four tires on my car are feathered and worn out on the outer edge.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph over a road bump, a loud abnormal noise was heard from the vehicle. The failure recurred whenever the steering wheel was turned in any direction. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer seven times for the failure. The rack and pinion and the front struts were replaced at different times but to no avail. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.
Chrysler 300c 2006, outer tie rod broke at 30k and again at 37k miles. I bought car new, and it always had a vibration dealer told me at all complaints there was nothing wrong and it was tires. Replaced/changed tiresafter 30k tie rod change, and it did little for vibration. On state inspection today, was shown that tie rod had 1/2 inch of play on replacement mopar part. Search online finds that this is a common complaint.
Tie rods, rocker arm.

2006 chrysler 300c has a manufacturers defect with the tire pressure monitoring system. It goes off repeatedly when driving the vehicle with an audible bell sounding and tire pressures being displayed on the digital panel of the dashboard. Problem started 11-12-08 under manufacturers warranty. The chrysler corporation has attempted 20 times to repair the problem with no resolution. I have filed for the lemon law replacement through chrysler with no avail. I have not been contacted by anyone at chrysler despite my repeated attempts at resolving this issue. Not only have i filed for the lemon law replacement within chrysler, i have also filed complaints with the bbb of michigan, the ky. Attorney general's office which referred me to the nhtsa due to the safety hazards that the cars tire pressure monitoring system displays when the vehicle is in use. Constantly while driving the system malfunctions. Chrysler has attempted repair for approximately 11 months and have ceased from communicating with me as a customer. I am requesting a formal inquiry by the nhtsa into the chrysler corporation about this issue and their lack of communication to customers to resolve these issues. I have been inconvenienced for 11 months and at this time cardinal chrysler louisville, ky. 502 449-1900 service manager charlie trya, has had my auto attempting repairs for 1, 1/2 months. Chrysler has replaced the tire sensors, the dashboard digital cluster, andthe receiver for the tpm. Under the kentucky and michigan lemon law, my automobile should have already been replaced. I feel that chrysler will not contact me because they refuse to replace the vehicle, and according to the law have failed to properly repair the vehicle in an timely manner. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Chrysler is covering up major issues in their automobiles with the tire pressure monitoring system and misleading customers globally.
Tpm (tire pressure monitor) light keeps coming on, with a corresponding bell ring, every time i use the car and often again while driving. Dealer has spent countless hours and many visits attempting to repair same with no satisfactory results. A call to chrysler's complaint line suggested that i inflate the tires with nitrogen! since the air is 78% nitrogen to begin with,i fail to see how that will help. In any event there is a problem here which seems to be a chrysler fault that dealer can't resolve and the problem is ongoing.
Tl-the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. While driving approximately 15-25 mph in rainy weather conditions the vehicle began to slide.she stated the traction control light illuminated on the dashboard. She slowed down to gain better control of the vehicle. The failure had occured three times in rainy or snowy weather conditions. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer for the failure. The contact stated she called the manufacturer and they referred her to nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000 and the current mileage was 25,000. Vwb
I have a 2006 chrysler 300c and it would shut off while driving. The fuel tank was replaced and the car still shut off while driving,without any warning. I took the car to another dealership and they couldn't figure out what was wrong,so they said they would have to send a star case to chrysler engineer,to help figure out what was wrong with the car.they said it was ok to drive until they heard from chrysler engineer.16miles and 15days later when i tried to start the car it wouldn't start,so i had it towed back to the dealership and they started the car,then came out and told me i needed a motor. They the motor dropped 2valve seats. Something isn't right about this. I called chrysler and they won't help.
Engine failure.my wife was driving the car and it was running fine. She went into the store and came back out and the car wouldn't start. Had it towed to the dealer and they said catastrophic engine failure and it would be $8000 to repair it. I contacted chrylser customer service and they said there was nothing they could do. I had the car towed to another shop just to find out what was really wrong. I was told this is a very common problem with the 2005-2007 5.7 hemi motors. He told me it's normally caused by a intake valve seat falling out. Sure enough when he took it apart the #4 intake valve seat had fell out and wrecked the #4 cylinder. I know this might not be a safety issue but i don't know where else to turn. I've been searching this issue online and there are so many people in the same boat as me and we can't get anything done about it. This is not a vehicle model issue this is an engine issue because it is happening in anything that the 5.7 hemi motor was put in and mainly from 2005-2007. Some people have had this happen to them while driving so i'm just lucky that my failure happened when my wife was parked.
My 2006 chrysler 300c 5.7l starting stalling after filling the tank and has progressively gotten worst.my car now stops while idle, at traffic lights,and has even stop while making a turn into traffic.i have taken it into the dealership who has tried to charge me labor to investigate the problem (thousands) but,ultimatelyclaim that they do not know what the problem is.after research,i have found that their are thousands of owners with my make and model having the same issue.i also found that chrysler's solution is to change the gas tank,which they claim should fix the issue.the dealership changed the tank under their extended warranty and this has not fixed the stalling problem.after doing more research i found that chrysler did a recall on this same stalling issue for the pacifica mini van,but did not include my make and model.the issues are found in 2005-2006 chrysler 300c hemi 5.7l engines.i don't understand how this dangerous issue has gone so long without a recall.someone is going to get seriously injured or killed by stalling while driving in traffic.meanwhile my car still has not been fixed.
In september, 2010, while driving it, my chrysler 300c began making a constant whining noise, especially whiletrying to accelerate.it stopped moving and i had to place it in park and turn it off.after restarting the car it would not accelerate and drive so it had to be towed into the dealership.the dealer told us that it was the transmission torque converter.so we had to pay $2926.91 to have it a transmission and torque converter replaced. Since then the same problem has occurred 3 more times over a span of 3 years; the last time a week ago (not quite 7 months from the last time).the dealer is now telling us that we must have driven through a rain puddle and that water has leaked into out transmission fluid and will not cover the cost of the repair even though the problem is exactly the same as the previous 3 times and the parts and labor are still under warranty.
Back in feb.2014 you closed an investigation on the 2006 chrysler 300c saying it was a gas tank causing the engine to stall because chrysler said they would replace the gas tanks. If you would have done your job right. You would have seen there was more then gas tank problems. There are hundred's of us still having stall problems. The dealerships don't how to fix these vehicles. And chrysler acts like there's no problem. Go to www.carcomplaints.com. There are 32 complaints just on their site. There's all kind of people in chrysler forums that don't know what to do. A lot of people have been in accidents because of their engines stalling what do people have to die before you guys do your job. This is something that chrysler needs to take care of and it's your job to make sure they do. On my 2006 300c chrysler replaced the gas tank and the car still stalls. I've almost been rear ended twice because their failure to fix their mistakes.
My car cuts on and off several times while driving. If i and stopped and a light or stop sign it will cut completely off and i will have to crank it back up. Sometimes it will crank right up and sometimes it will crank up and cut off a few times before it will stay crunk. I never know when it will happen because it give me no warning. There is no engine light on. I have taken it to the shop and called the dealer and no one can explain why this is happening. I tried to pull it up online and i seen where this has happened to several people since 2014 and no one could tell them what the problem is either.
Wife was driving car and transmission fluid was pouring out when put on a rack and adding fluid unnecessarily there was no leakage car would not move did a transmission service runs great but there is still water in transmission fluid because it is strawberry color car was drove two miles with fluid in transmission.
The temperature reading is running toward hit. I was told that the radiator fan is not strong enough to keep the radiator cooled off. I looked online and saw this is happening in most cars this make model and year. I have to stop driving the car for a while to let the car cool off. This is happening in motion on the street and highways.
Takata inflator ,engine failure,fuel tank replaced vehicle wass shutting off while driving before fuel tank was replaced and after fuel tank was replaced.. Under a extendedlife time warranty.took to another dealership in palestine texas told them vehicle was shutting off while driving and fuel tank was replaced by another dealership in tyler texas. They could not figure out what was wrong , they said it was ok to drive until they receive a response from chrysler (a star case)or something like that.they said there was no response from chrysler until one day ii went to start the car and it didn't start. I called dealership in palestine dealership,had it towed to them. 16 miles later and 15 days later,i was told i needed complete motor. Metal pieces in intake and 2valve seats had dropped.later on 11/20/2015 had the head took off to confirm damages to the head and valves.also on 12/19/2014 when vehicle towed in,they started the vehicle and was accelerating the car i was right there in the waiting room,thinking it's fixed,then come tell me i need amotor .
Vehicle is stuck in park and will not shift out of it. Chrysler is aware a problem exists but conveniently says this car is out of the build date for being affected therefore i'm crazy and it should be an out of pocket expense for me.
While driving the car it shuts off or stalls at any given moment.it has tried to stall while driving 80 mph, stalled at traffic lights, etc.can be very dangerous. We took to a mechanic and the car did not stall while it was there so they were unable to find anything wrong.the next day it happened again, and again and again. I have a video that i can share but i cannot upload it.
Not an accident issue my car would not come out of park.i found out that a small plastic piece had broken causing the spring engaged lever system not to work.from what i could see online there was a recall #k39 - transmission shifter interlock lever - and when i called in reference to this (1-800-853-1403 shannon) i was told that the chrysler 300 was covered in this recall but not the chrysler 300c.i asked why the 300c was not part of the recall and was advised that they did not have any other informaton, there was not anyone else i could speak to and that my only course of action would be to file a complaint.so i am submitting this form in hopes of finding out why the 300c is not included when the 300c definitely has this issue.i had to replace the whole shifter because of this small plastic pieces defect.
My car has been cutting off every time i fill it up since i purchased it.i took it to the dealer on 12/01/2015 they said it was a faulty gas tank they replaced the tank on 12/14/2015. On 12/19/2015 i was going over 50 miles per hour and my car just cut off no warning. I was able to crank it back up and pull off the road and soon as i got off the road it cut off again this time a bolting light came up on the dash. I waited two minutes and crunk it back up it immediately cut back off and the bolting light again. I waited 10 minutes and it stayed crunk and i was able to make it home. The next day the same problem occurred again the rpm gauge just drops and the car shuts off.

The car cut off 3 times in one day for no apparent reason; once while pulling out into oncoming traffic, then after fueling the car and pulling out of the gas station into oncoming traffic, then while driving down the street at about 35 mph. Fortunately, i safely guided the car to the side of the road to avoid a collision.the dealership replaced 2 sensors (code:p0038)- $501.98. One week later, the car continued to cut off while driving. The dealership codes that came up: p0038, p0058, p0052, p0032, pmc & engine harness,& pmc engine computer - $2000 - declined repairs because sensors (p0038) were just replaced . Chrysler service bulletin 08-34-05 june 30, 2015 addresses this issue. Chrysler corp -michael browsowski says the car (now 56,484 miles) is out of warranty so they owe us nothing, but as a good will gesture, they will pay for 2 parts only - not labor. He admitted that a car cutting off is unacceptable, but refused to cover the entire cost of repair. He also refused to reply to my written complaint in writing. Chrysler continues to shirk their responsibility to recall and repair this manufacturer's defect. Customer with same complaint: http://www.carcomplaints.com/chrysler/300c/2006/engine/engine_stalls_shuts_off_while_driving.shtml
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.
The dealership earnhardts had me pay 100 in cash for a recall==automatic transmission cup plug 05v460000. I have receipt. The part that controls placing car in d, r, n... Was stuck in park. I had to get car towed and pay for the repair.
While driving car it will lose power and shut off. It will do this a couple of times then run good. I changed out engine recently and put new coils and spark plugs in and a new pcm and it has started again. It will just shut off and have to keep restarting. I asked chrysler and they say they never heard of this issue but there are thousands of same complaint all over the internet. Again car had issue with original engine, now has new engine and same problem car shutting off or lossing power constantly. There is approx 600 miles on new engine and same problem has come up
The chrysler start with no problem drive around stop park and get out the car. Return in a minute no crank start wait 15 or 20 minute the car will start. This problem accured 2 or 3 times a day after i park. Fuses ok, new starter, new battery, new tranmission nothing display on dishbroad or diagnostic machine several machanic unable to determent the problem no reading the car is ok but car contiue not to crank start i only have less than 50,000 miles after i was told that i needed a new transmission from a bronx new york dealership?
I have been noticing that my car will stall out randomly.when im driving it just stalls out...its pretty scarey.it started about a month ago..also..i have replaced my lower arm controls on both sides and iam still hearing a grinding noice when i turn left..please help me to figure this out..
When driving the vehicle it will out of no where without warning shut off on you. Youy lose all power. I was on highway at 70 mph and the vehicle shut off and with loss of power was hard to get the car to right edge of road and was almost hit by a semi truck. I have replaced on advice of chrysler the fuel tank, fuel pump, new pcm and new tcm and the vehicle still shuts off without warning. It throws two codes u0100 and p0700. U0100 is lost communications and p0700 is transmission fault. These are two generic codes and the p0700 is just a simple as the transmission going into limp mode when engine stalls. Chrysler dealers/service center don't know whats causing this, but you look all over the internet there is 1000's of the same complaint and nothing being done to help. I even called chrysler and they lied that they have never heard of this issue. It is effecting cars from 2005-2006 and is very dangerous. My girlfriend had her kids in my car and was using it and it stalled out and she was almost run into at 9pm at night because of the sudden loss of power and shutting off. I have written you numerous times with no reply back so i am assuming you guys are over looking this issue also. Here is just one web page with same problems as i explained: https://www.2carpros.com/questions/chrysler-300-2006-chrysler-300-car-shuts-offhttps://www.carcomplaints.com/chrysler/300/2006/engine/engine_stalls_shuts_off_while_driving.shtmland be advised most everyone has had their gas tank,roll over valve and fuel pumps replaced along with pcm and tcm and are cars are still shutting off causing a dangerous precedent for a deadly accident you nor chrysler seem to care about till one of us gets killed
I see double in my driver side mirror (auto dim). I feel this is a safety issue no matter how many miles or how old the car is and should be taken care of by chrysler free of charge.
Car stalled out while doing 70 mph on freeway without any warnings from onboard systems warning. Limped vehicle to side of road. Car would start back up, but would stall out the entire 5 miles back to my house. Have been apprehensive to drive it because no one can tell me why vehicle is doing this. Vehicle has been sitting in my garage since this incident. I had just had car at dealership to replace gas tank and driver's side airbag a week prior to this happening. Check engine light came on and hasn't gone off since the replacement of gas tank. Have contacted another chrysler dealership's service department, but don't feel like car will be safe to drive to their location. I'm definitely not going to chance driving on freeway again. Stalling out and [xxx] near being hit from behind was enough for me.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While attempting to shift the vehicle out of park, the shifter would not move. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a faulty shifter mechanism that needed to be replaced. The cost was $468 and the part online can be repaired at no cost or replaced for $15 to $30.the failure mileage was 32,000. There are thousands of these complaints on the internet for more than just 2006 300c autos. If chrysler does not admit to the flaw why doesn't the government make them step up and repair or reimburse consumers who will no doubt never buy another chrysler vehicle? there should be a recall or at least chrysler should pay when the part fails.
I bought my car in january 2015. As of december 2015 it started stalling. It would start jerking when i gave it gas. It would shut off when i either tried to take off from a complete stop or when i was just stopped or in the middle of me driving within 40 mph.i took it to the chrysler dealership (not the dealer i bought it from) they diagnosed it was the wiring harness. I paid over $1200 to get it fixed. The same problem happened within 24 hours of me picking it up. It was there for almost 2 months, they said it did not do anything when it was there. Only said i needed a new battery. I had them replace the battery. Then it happened again about a month later. This time they diagnosed the fuel tank needed to be replaced. Once work was complete i picked it up and less than 5 minutes after leaving i was broke down again. This is the 5th time its been there in the last 5 months. Also i never received a refund after the mis-disgnosis! this is frustrating!
This is the fourth time for this incident my car gave no indication it was about to stall no lights on dash board .it appeared that something switch the ignition to the accessory position. Unable to steer, or use the breaks the car stop immediately can not get to a safe place..has been to the chrysler dealer four time this year for other related problems. But chrysler was not able to diagnosis or repair this problem. Was told it would not read a code.it was internal problem. For 21days they kept my car without repair..second visit was 9-10 days with approximately five day with the owner my latest stay was 4days. My car drove approxmate; 50 miles before stalling again. For the first time i use another repair shop other than chrysler. The worker seem well pleased when i stated i would not return with the same problem. I spoke with the manger and could not get the problem solved.
My 300c 2006 engine shuts off. Sitting at a light or driving. Dealer had it, spent 1800.00. They did not fix. Have it at a garage. They have replaced most sensors. Just spent 390 dollars on a new controller board (brain) its now more frequent. Started happening 2 years ago but not this frequent. Did a coolant flush, transmission flush,
L- the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300 c. The contact stated that the she was unable to shift the vehicle out of the park position. The vehicle will be towed to a local dealer for inspection. The vehicle has not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer has not been notified of the incident. The approximate failure mileage was 60000.- ll
Since january 2012, everytime i fill up the car with gas it cuts off coming out of the gas station, waiting at traffic lights, waiting in traffic, and even when driving on the highway.i am afraid to fill the tank.i have learned to circumvent this by not filling the tank.this is a major in.also, this is dangerous.i have had this happen to me at least 30 times before figuring out not to fill the tank since the mechanic is unable to duplicate the problem without being there when i fill the tank.this car looks good from far but it is far from good!!i have had nothing but problems with it.
I was driving at 70mph 2:30 am on the highway at night right before a curve the headlights shut off due to the main computer 'tpim'.in essence it kills all auto features immediately including the headlights.it's a common problem with these cars just look on some of the forms online. I'm upset because my wife could have been driving the car at the time. Chrysler should be held accountable sense it's an issue with this car in general. They also have issues with the lifters due to the poor quality of the lifters rollers and the mds system.
All 4 handler are able to come partially off the car, i taped it back with gorilla clear tape as a body shop wants me to pay $200 per handle. This all happened within about 4 months and about a year ago.
My car keeps shutting off. Today when i was leaving my sons appointment my car shut off it would crank right back up but it kept cutting off. I tryed it five times and it wouldn't stay crunk. I had to leave my car stranded because it was sleeting outside and my son was in the car. I have took my car to the dealership and they continue to tell me they can't diagnose a problem so there's nothing they can do. This problem needs to be fixed before someone gets hurt are killed.
After filling the gas, the car shuts off.this has happened four times in the last three months.we have had the car towed four times for repair.four times they cannot find an issue.this time the mechanic tells us to not fill up instead fill the tank three quarters.
The shifter will not come out of park with the car running and the brake applied.
While driving car randomley has m0mentary loss of power. There is a bell sound and then the car restarts, but it drops out of cruise control and sometimes has check engine light, or other dash lights. Usually lights clear upon restart. This has happened from nov 2019 to present.
While merging on the freeway, the gas pedal made a cracking sound while pushing it down. 3 days later while in heavy traffic while pushing the accelerator pedal down it made a cracking sound and broke off, fell down, and was hanging by the wires.it has a thin plastic mounting flange.that will break off easily with not much foot pressure.new one installed with a radiator clamp around the whole thing to beef it up, added screws.so far it has kept me from getting rear ended in traffic.
My husband filled up the tank on 110413 (already had 1/4 tank).i drove to and from work, but once i backed into the yard the vehicle would not crank again.as i revved the engine the car would act like it would continue running after the initial start up, but as soon as i took my foot off of the accelerator the car cut off.i had to have the car towed to a chrysler dealership, but no one mentioned the issues that customers have been having with this specific vehicle (2006 300c with hemi). Vehicle is currently in the shop and the mechanic mentioned it might be the engine... Oh really!!!!!
Filled up tank for the first time since purchasing my 2006 chrysler 300c. (came from the dealership with a full tank) no more than 2 minutes of driving later the car began to shudder and lurch as if it were going to die. I was able to put it in neutral and keep it running but it was running rough. Continued on and pulled into a parking lot where the car died. I was able to restart it but it died shortly after. Restarted it again and was able to keep it running by giving it a little throttle. I began combing the internet and discovered this to be a fairly common issue after filling up. I limped the car home and siphoned a few gallons out. It seems to be running ok since then.
I was on the way to a doctors appt with my pregnant daughter on 264 heading towards chesapeake, va.i was doing 55 mph and the tank was on 1/8 th of a tank.as we were driving, about 15 min later, the car lurched, a ding was heard, the etc light flashed, the rpms dropped to 0, then resumed a second later causing the lurching forward. About 3 to 4 minutes and intermittently over the next 15 min later, it did the same thing, but also stalled at the stop lights on the way there.no codes came up when diagnostics were put on it.the throttle control unit was replaced and a relearn was done, this did nothing. Same thing happened.i have read many other reports of this happening and no one has an exact fix for this.also, may have nothing to do with this, but about 2 weeks prior to this happening, i was filling up with gas and the tank overflowed.no problems occurred through the next 3 or 4 fill ups, the tank was on an 1/8 when the first hesitation and stalling occurred.
Pedal broke off the car during operation
Depressed accelerator pedal lightly to proceed through an intersection.roughly 10 mph into the acceleration the vehicle suddenly without warning accelerated on its own through the next intersection causing a 3 car accident and 4 people injured.all vehicles involved were disabling damage with mine being the worst, total loss.air bags did not deploy causing injury to passenger and i resulting in seizures to passenger from head trauma.this defect of the vehicle has caused a major financial burden on me and my family from the date of accident and well into the future with my insurance rates since i have been deemed at faullt due to car accelerating instead of allowing me to stop.*dt
I backed my vehicle out of the driveway, headed downhill to the intersection.i stopped at the stop sign, as i accelerated leaving the stop sign, the vehicle stalled out.i placed the shifter in neutral and restarted the vehicle.drove to the next intersectionand the vehicle did the same thing.after the initial problem i drove the vehicle to the dealership, where i purchased the vehicle.the vehicle was, and is, still under warranty.the dealership diagnosed the problem to be a failed throttle control and brake pedal assembly, estimated cost of around $1,000.they would not say for sure if the repairs would fix the problem.these repairs would not be covered by my extended warranty.my vehicle has stalled out sporadically this past several months, sometimes in heavy traffic, where i could easily be rear ended.my vehicle has the 5.7 liter hemi v8 engine with automatic transmission.
When foot is taken off of the accelerator, the car continues to accelerate. This occurs anytime you accelerate, from 0 to 50 and from 50 to 70. Substantial brake pressure has to be applied for the acceleration to stop. This happens whether or not the cruise is on. The dealership refused to fix under warranty as the mileage had expired by 500 miles.
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
My chrysler 300c hemi started idling rough and showing code p0300.oil/plugs were changed, and my car worked well for ~500 miles. After which the low oil level light chimmed. After taking to the dealer the oil pressure switch was replaced and all was right.close to a month later, while stopped at a rail crossing the car stalled with error code p1520.i checked the oil which was low and added to the correct level.in the oil, there was no discoloration or anything to cause alarm.i started the engine up and while the p1520 was gone i had the p0300.after removing the manifold small aluminum pieces where found inside. Plugs that were close to 4k miles old were ash covered and throttle body.valves and cylinder #3 head need to be replaced.
Car stalls when idle, car stalls when at low speed, car stalls when starting to drive (at low speeds), all power/electric cuts out intermittently while in motion.
While on a curvy road after dark, at 45 mph, the electrical system shut down, dash lights flashed and went off, engine died. 40 mph on a curvy road with no lights. After 20 seconds it all came back on. Had no problems for 3 months. Electrical system has momentarily shut down on 4 other occasions since then. On 12/08/15 my wife was in line at the dandridge elementary school picking up my grandson. While in car pickup line with the transmission in drive, the dash lights came on, the vehicle accelerated (surged forward) then died. Engine died 5 times before she could get it home. This would be called a near miss accident in a workplace setting.car is operating normally at this time. I held an ase master technician certification and in my opinion it is a dangerous electrical condition. I realize that someone must die in order to get this problem fixed and that is a shame.
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 wasn't 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 that's 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.
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 thecharcoal 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 07/10/13*ljthe consumer stated the fuel tank module failed. When the tank was filled it caused the engine to lose power. Updated 07/19/2013
I filled up the car with gas and after driving about half a mile the engine stalled while in traffic. The car started and stalled repeatedly five or six times for about four blocks. At a certain point the problem stopped and the car was drivable. I took the car to a nearby auto shop and they found no error codes in the system. After leaving the auto shop the car continued to drive without stalling. Several weeks later i filled up with gas again and the problem repeated itself after driving about half a mile. The engine stalled about five times. It was more difficult to turn the engine over this time but it eventually started and drove fine.
My car has been displaying erratic behavior for aboutthe last seven months. The more recent problem i've experienced is that my car shuts off at a complete stop and sometimes as i'm braking to come to a stop at a light and power steering locks up as it shuts off. I feel this is extremely unsafe being i've dodged a few accidents already because of this issue. What if i'm at a light and getting ready to turn or make a u turn and it shuts off in on coming traffic, or if i'm on the highway and i have to suddenly brake and it shuts off at high speeds. I'm not sure what can be done but i hope i can get help some way, some how. I feel my life depends on it.
I was traveling on a highway posted legal speed 65mp as i released the gas pedal it broke and fell on thefloor body of the driver side. I then quickly turned on the cruise control to navigate my speed for the nearest safe exit to inspect the damage. Damage was clear that the gas pedal housing unit was broken from the screw ends of the unit, as the housing unit is made of high grade plastic.
I had taken the car for an oil change.when i got into the car and started to pull away from the shop the accelerator pedal stuck in the down position causing the car to surge forward. I was unable to stop the carusing the brakes and struck the bumper of a parked car with the passenger side of my car. The car still would not stop so i turned off the ignition. The car stopped. I put the car in park and restarted the engine the rpm immediately went to more than 4000 rpm . I turned off the ignition and manually pulled up the accelerator pedal the engine idled normally after restarting. I drove the car to the dealer and left it with them. The accelerator continued to stick in the down position and required manually returning at each time i needed to slow down.
The contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the glass from the sun roof shattered causing tiny shards of glass to fall into the vehicle and onto other motorists. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis but no cause for failure was found. The manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage 100,000.

I have an 2006 chrysler 300c, 3 power window regulators went out at the same time. Took it to the dealer and it now is going to cost over $700 to repair. I asked the service tech how can 3 regulators go out at the same time and i was told because of poor quality parts that he has had to replace a few of them. My question is heknows that then so should chrysler. If one unit went out then i wouldn't be complaining but three at the same timesomething is not right.thank you for your timelawrence
The car has been stalling out after being started. Now it is almost shutting off or becoming unresponsive mid acceleration from a stop sign.the car will at random stall. The engine does not need to be restarted so far while driving. It will "die" for a few seconds and then comes back again just short of complete engine shut down. Rear window on passenger side is also non responsive.it has only worked once since i have had the car.
Making a u-turn and my car cuts off, i hit the brakes immediately but still hit the curb with my wheels and passenger side bumper. Please recall this gas tank issue. These cars are not safe!! they cut off at random times, unpredictable.
