Filled up gas tank and was leaving station and car stalled out. restarted and proceeded on busy roadway, the car stalled again. vehicle behind me was not expecting me to stop in middle of road. no accident occurred. this is a known problem with the 300c's of this year (2005). i found this to be avoidable by filling the tank to only 3/4. there is a warranty extension plan for the 2006 with this issue but not the 2005 model. i visited the dealer and the service manager has never heard of this being problem for 300c's. my car has cut out in several dangerous situations and continues to be dangerous for me and my family. please help. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. the contact stated that the vehicle would stall without warning whenever he refueled. the failure occured consistently over a one year period. the contact stated that he added small amounts of fuel in increments which seemed to prevent the failure from recurring. the vehicle had not been taken to the dealer for the failure but, the dealer was contacted and advised him to bring the vehicle in for diagnosis. the vin was unavailable. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage is 56,000. updated 04/12/11*lj updated 04/13/11
When i completely fill my gas tank, my car will stall for the first couple miles at idle speeds. so every time i stop at a light, i basically have to restart my car for a mile or two until some gas is used. sometimes, i have to take the key out completely and restart the car as the car won't go into gear (ie: the gears need to reset). this problem was occurring periodically while the care was still under warranty, but they couldn't figure it out. for the past several years, it does it every time i fill the tank completely with gas. i have a son and daughter that are starting to drive this year, and it makes me nervous to let them drive this car. there should have been a recall long ago as there are many other owners experiencing the same problem. i was also wondering, if i pay the $1,500 to put in a new gas tank and there ultimately is a recall, will i be able to get reimbursed? that would be very useful information. thank you. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. the contact stated that the vehicle would intermittently stall moments after being refueled. the failure occurred when the vehicle was refueled after having less than 1/2 a tank of gasoline, when driving at any speed and also when first starting the vehicle. the vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired the vin was unavailable. the failure mileage was 73,000 and the current mileage was 77,000.
Vehicle stalls repeatedly after fueling for approximately 35 miles and sometimes takes several attempts to restart. this is very dangerous and frightening because it is never known when or where the vehicle will leave you disabled. my car has stalled many, many times, on the road, at intersections, in the middle of intersection, at stop lights, on railroad tracks, on freeway on ramps and off ramps, parking lots, and anywhere else it so chooses. i talked to mechanics and i have done some research on this and it seems to be a problem with the flat top fuel tank design, requiring the fuel tank to be replaced, but i have yet to receive notice from the manufacturer about a recall. please look into this matter because i am concerned about the safety of myself, my family, and other 300c owners. please help and thank you for your time!
