Car stalls while driving without warning. i've had this happen at least three times and a couple of times, i had trouble restarting the car. the unpredictable nature of the problem make me apprehensive to drive the car on the highway, or on any long trips. *tr
Every time we get the car filled with gas it stalls until we drive and restart it for 2 or 3 miles. it is very dangerous and i am afraid that there will be someone that runs into me during one of the stalls. i replaced the gas cap but that did not help the problem. i went on line and now see that it is a very common problem. there should be a recall by chrysler to immediately correct this very serious problem!!! *tr
In april of 2014 i informed my local chrysler dealer of a stalling problem on our chrysler 300c. this problem first occurred in 2011 after fueling the vehicle and pulling into traffic. the engine did restart and cleared itself out right away. i complained to the dealer and at that time i'm guessing it was a new issue because " we have never heard of that". after doing some research i found out others were also having this problem after fill up. in feb 2014 i read an article about a lifetime warranty on these and other lx platform chryslers on these tanks. back to the dealership i go with this information and the local dealer put me on a waiting list. in sept. 2014 we were told we were next on the list for a new tank. it is now late october and still no tank. the dealership told me there were 2000 of these tanks on backorder and the would be distributed as they are built. today i called the chrysler support line. the lady was very sympathetic. she called my dealer and somehow i went from next on the list to #3 on the list. i now feel that the bean counters think a lot of the cars will somehow go away and then so will the problem. a few stalled vehicles involved in lethal crashes caused by this stalling issue linked to the fuel shut off float sticking may be what it takes. we know that by only fueling the tank to 3/4 full we do not have the problem. if we should trade this vehicle the next owner needs to know that there is a lifetime warranty on the tank but there is no parts support. *tr
After filling the car up with fuel it stalled for the next 10 minutes. *tr
After filling up my fuel tank i would notice the engine stall. this is very dangerous especially when i'm crossing an intersection or getting on a freeway. *tr
The car stalled within 1/8 mile after stopping to fill the tank with gas. *tr
Fueled the vehicle, attendant "topped it off". started vehicle and it sputtered, running poorly as if it had a fuel issue. smelt fuel from under the hood. let vehicle set for 10 minutes, started up vehicle and proceeded to a 4-lane main highway. just as we accelerated from the stop light, the car sputtered, then died. i managed to pull over to the side of the road out of traffic. let the unit set for 10 minutes, ran the vehicle and no further issues that day. at the next fill up, the same pattern emerged. a third incident occurred a few months later and i researched the problem. since that time i have cautioned the fuel attendants to not "top it off" and the issue has not reoccurred. *tr
