My 2005 300c stalls while in motion and when stopped at a traffic signal after filling up the gas tank, and is exhibiting problems similar to those described in your pe13016 report which covers a recall of 2006 chrysler 300cs which have the same 19 gallon tank as my car. this is a dangerous condition that continues to occur. how can i get the car repaired (which it sounds like involves fuel tank replacement) by fiat chrysler at no charge to me? please respond, thank you *tr
This has happened four times in the last 2 months. i refuel the car. the car starts fine. leaving the gas station i slow down before entering traffic. the engine stalls. i restart the engine fine. i pull out of the gas station and if i make a left turn, and apply the brakes after entering the turn, the car stalls. the car always restarts fine. however, the car will then stall at an idle condition, as when waiting for a light to turn green. after a few restarts, or prolonged driving, the condition goes away. however, it scares my wife silly. i just read the nhtsa action number pe13016 and i am taking this car to linwood chrysler this tuesday. thank you for your assistance. i just wanted to let you know that there are others like myself, and to let you know my personal experience. by the way, when the car stalls in traffic, it is very dangerous. *tr

Tl* the contact owned a 2005 chrysler 300c. while driving approximately 55 mph, the entire instrument panel failed and the contact smelled a strong burning odor inside the vehicle. the contact pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and noticed smoke and large flames coming from the trunk. the fuel tank exploded and the vehicle became engulfed in flames. there were no injuries. the fire department extinguished the fire. the vehicle was destroyed and towed to an independent mechanic. the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 134,646.
Filled up gas tank and was leaving station and car stalled out. restarted and proceeded onto suburban main artery and as accelerating from traffic light, the car stalled again. vehicle behind me was not expecting me to stop in middle of road and crashed into the read of my car. damage to both bumper covers, but neither vehicle was undriveable as the speed was very slow. this is a known problem with the 300c's of this year and is avoidable by filling the tank to only 3/4 or so. this time it was filled by the station attendant to the pump click shut off (like you'd fill the tank of a normal car). there is a warranty extension plan for the 2006 with this issue but it seems that the 2005 model is not included. the dealer service manager has never heard of this being a problem. *tr
The vehicle keeps stalling and it seems directly related to when i fill up the vehicle with gas. i have a 19 gallon fuel tank. every time a fill the vehicle, it continues to stall (even at 60 mph) until the gas starts to empty out of the tank. as the gas empties, it stalls less and less. as soon as i refill, the problem starts all over again. i heard this year of vehicle is having issues with the fuel tank multifunctional control valve, which seems to exactly correlate with the issue that i am having. i just purchased this vehicle from a used auto dealer. *tr
I purchased my chrysler 300c on 1/8/2014. i left the dealership with an almost full tank of gas and experienced no problems until the next fill up. right after filling up my gas tank, and making sure not to top it off as the manual suggests, i suddenly experienced the car jerking, almost like a down shift feeling, and then it stalled. i was just leaving the gas station. i drove another mile and then made a turn into my subdivision and it did it again. i immediately called the dealership and took it in to have them check it out. they supposedly hooked it up to the computer and said that nothing was detected. they asked if any lights came on and i told them only the oil light. they test drove it and said there was nothing wrong. the next couple of times i filled up i used a prepaid gas card which didn't totally fill up my tank so i didn't experience any problems. today i filled my tank, this time my husband was in the car and as soon as we left the gas station ...
After fueling up my chrysler 300c, my car stalled and completely shut down (approximately 2 miles after fill up). luckily, i was in the parking lot of my work at the time, so i was only going 5-10 mph. unfortunately, the power steering completely froze and i was unable to park the car, so the car was resting in the right-of-way of other cars driving in the lot. also, i came two inches from hitting a tree since i could not steer the car away from any objects in my path. thank goodness the breaks still worked. i was unable to restart the car for a few minutes. after approx. 10 minutes of resting the car in the middle of the parking lot, the car restarted with a "pop" noise. once we got the car started, i was able to park it in a safe spot. i am now afraid to drive my car, especially in traffic or on the freeway at higher rates of speed. i am a single mom with two young kids and it really has me freaked out to think that we could be involved in an accident should ...
The car will stall after a fillip, even when the tank is not over filled. this has placed me in several dangerous situations, where i am stranded on busy roads. this appears to be a know defect in many chrysler cars and vans. *tr
After refueling the car stalls. it takes about 3 or 4 minutes, so by that time i was on the highway. very scary and dangerous in traffic. *tr
After fueling vehicle (full tank) i drove about 1/4 mile from the gas station while turning the vehicle turned completely off while i was in a turn causing me drive up on a curb and almost striking a pedestrian. took about 10 minutes to get my vehicle back started and about another 1/4 mile down the road it stalled again this time making me go through an intersection because the brake pedal got hard. i ended up getting it home and it sat over night. next morning took it out, no problem except when i was leaving a store it stalled again. i thought it was a fuel issue, fuel pressure checked ok. i drained the gas in the tank and refueled from another station same problem. seems to happen only when i completely fill up but not 100% of the time. no check engine light or body codes were detected on the car's computer. *tr
After filling up the gas tank i was driving on the highway. traffic was heavy and speed was reduced to about 20 mph. while exiting the highway the car started to spurt and then shut off and the steering wheel locked. i was able to put the car in park and restart the vehicle but once it slowed down again the car shut off. i was nearly rear-ended but fortunately the truck behind me stopped in time. this only happens when the tank is full so once there is only about 3/4 of a tank full the shut downs cease. does it take fatal accidents like what gm had before chrysler issues a recall? *tr
The vehicle will stall out several times after filling the tank with gas and it only stalls out after filling the tank. vehicle will stall when stopped or when the rpm is low. the problem is the vapor/liquid separator valve located at the top of the fuel tank. the valve is designed to prevent liquid fuel from entering the charcoal canister/emissions system. when the valve fails, liquid gas can enter the line and fill the charcoal canister. after refueling the pcm on the vehicle detects a change in fuel level. then, when the engine meets certain temperature and driving criteria, the pcm issues a purge command to the charcoal canister to remove the stored gas vapors. it's at that point that all the liquid gas in the line gets sucked into the charcoal canister. the pcm expects to see gas vapors entering the intake manifold and it is prepared to adjust air/fuel mixtures to compensate. however, it is not prepared to see liquid gas coming into the intake. that's what causes the engine to stall. this can be a very dangerous situation with the vehicle on the ...
