Takata recall . my 2005 chrysler 300c 5.7 started smelling like gas every time i filled up the tank.time past till i decided to take a look why it smelled like gas.furst thing to check was the fuel pupms.finding thst the passenger side had a budle of gas ontop of the fuel pump housing .i replaced the rubber gasket but that didnt help at all .so now i need to replace the fuer pump because it looks like it might have a crack somewhere .
This car has a problem every time its time to fill gas tank car is running fine once i'm done with the filling up and i am leaving the gasoline station the car stalls with no warning or anything it has happen every time i fuel up one time i came to a red light when it was time to go on green it shut off on me and did not want to turn on after like the 5th try. i have tried calling chrysler dealers but said my vin number is not on the recall cars.
On my car when the gas tank is auto filled all the way, until it clicks, then it stalls out while driving and is very hard to restart since the vehicle has to come to a complete stop before you can attempt to restart.this has happened at least 10 times. the last time was while attempting to make a left hand turn onto route 29, within minutes of having left the gas station, and i lost control of my steering due to the fact that the car was not running any more. i was lucky i wasn't hit by another car when coasting it partly off the road. since then, i have learned, as long as i don't fill the tank all the way full the stall outs don't happen.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. immediately after the contact refueled the vehicle, it stalled several times before eventually operating normally. the contact indicated that the failure occurred regardless of the amount of fuel inside the fuel tank. the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 140,000.
Car shuts off after filling, was just every once in a while starting 2 years ago, but now it shuts off after every fill up, and when it shuts off then there is no power steering. will shut off as soon as i leave the gas station, and will continue every time i slow down, for approx.10 miles. after being rear ended in traffic at a stop light, due to i started to move and the car shut off, but the person behind me didn't realize my car quit and lightly hit me. i have learned that i can no longer fill up at any gas station, i have to fill up where i know i can just drive without slowing down for about 10 miles. the car will still shudder like it isn't getting gas, but have been able to keep it from shutting off totally and trying to avoid being rear ended again. i worry what damage is being done to the rest of my car when it shudders like that though. i see that there is a lot of other 2005 300c owners having this same problem, but no recall has happened yet. hope the recall happens before someone gets killed due to this malfunction.
This isn't the first time the car just shuts down when u fill the gas tank all the way up. i filled the tank and proceeded to drive and merge on to highway and without any lights or warning the car just shuts off on the highway while doing 65. i lost power and the vehicle is had to control. it took a second to start back up in the middle of the highway. this only happens when i fill the tank all the way up. it's an issue with the gas tank or a valve getting stuck open/closed in the tank. i filled the tank again and just waited at the gas station to see if it would happen again and it did. i waited about 2 minutes and the car shut off while sitting at the gas station.. i left the gas station as soon as i turned out of the gas station the vehicle shut off 2 more times. i have to either fill my tank to 3/4's a tank or purposely burn gas when on full to not have this happen again.
This car will stall at completely random intervals. it has done it at speed, on acceleration, on deceleration, at stops. occasionally the cruise control will not function correctly. the car will also spit, sputter and buck at speeds above 35mph. when this happens, there is a total loss of power steering, brakes, etc. in order to restart the car, it requires being placed into neutral or park, and trying at least 3 times before engine will run again. the car will usually continue to stall 3-10 times. on returning to "drive" the car will usually stay stationary for another 5-10 seconds before surging forward. reverse does not have this effect. car has been checked by several mechanics, who can pull no codes, and don't seem to have any clue what is causing the intermittent issue. it is very dangerous situation, as there is no warning the car is about to stall, and there is no pattern to when it will stall. in googling the issue, i was able to find the chrysler campaign x53 extended warranty on "some" 2006 300cs, but when i called the chrysler dealer to check my vin, i was told my car is not covered under this known defective gas tank. the message boards have many instances of people describing this exact issue for this exact car. this a seriously life threatening issue.
Engine stalls after fill up. usually stalls 3 times at low speeds. could be dangerous if it stalled when merging into traffic.
I am experiencing stall outs after fueling my car up.i entered the highway and the car stalled out while traffic is burling on top of me and i immediately put the vehicle in neutral and restarted the vehicle which didn't start right away and nearly created an rear end collision of my vehicle.after it started the car stalled again and started jerking before it stalled again..this is definitely a heart stopping experience and i am unaware if chrysler has a recall about this terrifying situation..i've purchased this vehicle new 10/2004 and never experienced this problem until the spring of 2017 ..my vehicle now has 167,000 plus miles and i'm very concerned about this existing fuel problem which can cause a major accident which i have almost became a victim..
After filling up with fuel on take off from stop light twice car died while driving away from light into traffic, then again after stopping car to restart it. then 2 minutes later making a left turn car made a ding noice and died again!!
Car dies after fueling. it will sputter then die, it will also die while coming to a stop. after refueling it sputters and dies at gas station but it can happen within the next couple of miles. it will die while pulling out in traffic and extremely dangerous. reading on line this is a common problem and no one can figure it out. it also will not always go back into gear after it dies.
I got fuel in my vehicle approx. 3/4 of a tank after fueling my vehicle stalled when i tried to drive it. i have previously replaced the purge solenoid, the pcm, and the egr valve. the vehicle continues to have multiple problems and has left me stranded more times than i can count.
On several occasions, after fully filling the gas tank, the car will completely shut down while either at idle, or at low speed. the first time it happened, it gave a check engine" light with a fault code to check the fuel cap. on further inspection, the fuel cap was properly seated. now, when this problem occurs, it no longer gives the "check engine" light indication. the problem does not occur when the fuel tank is less than completely full. the problem is identical to the problem nhtsa investigated in 2006 chrysler 300s resulting in chrysler extending the fuel tank warranty to lifetime coverage. this is a dangerous problem, as when the car dies, all power is lost to the car to include steering and braking. typically this occurs at a stop light, but could happen in a much more dangerous position.
After filling fuel tank: vehicle stalled twice while driving. difficult restarts. this occurred on two occasions. at the second occasion, after filling, i could hear prolonged "gurgling" sound from fuel tank filler neck. i am convinced that this issue has something to do with the fuel tank venting system - perhaps a clogged vent tube.
The car stalls while coming to a stop or when sitting at a red light. in a few minutes the car will start and drive just fine until the same thing occurs again
After filling up with gas the car will stall repeatedly for several miles. it then runs normally until the next fill up. i recently bought the car for my son who just turned 16. the first time it happened was the first time he filled up while driving alone. needless to say he had no idea what to do. luckily he was able to pull off the state highway he was driving on (3 lanes each direction) before it totally stopped. the power steering shut off so he had a very difficult time even turning off the main road. it now has done the same thing for the last 3 fill ups which were all at different gas stations to rule out bad gas at a particular station. this seems to be a very dangerous issue that should be addressed.
Filled the car with gas and the car died within 5 minutes of the gas station. restarted the car and had the same thing happen two more times. this has since happened after ever fill up since. we bought this vehicle may 1st 2015. the issues with it dying started happening the very first fill up. we just figured it was a vapor lock but after reading the compliants, oviously not. this needs to be recalled as someone is going to hurt.
My wife was taking our two kids to school when the car made a horrible noise when first trying to start the car early in the morning. i had it towed to my mechanic where he found that the cylinder valve seat fell off the cylinder head and fell down into the piston causing severe damage to the valves and piston. replacing the engine for $8000 was an option, however you are replacing it with the same type of engine that could potentially replicate the problem again. after researching this seems to be a manufactures defect of this engine for 2005-2006 chrysler 300 c. this happened 4 months after my warranty expired. *tr
When i fill the gas tank the car stops and loses all power. this happens a few times until i use some gas. this is very dangerous problem. i almost got rear ended a few times.
Similar to many other people's issues. i get fuel and then while driving the car will stall. happens for a few days after i get gas not even a completely full tank. it becomes a very unsafe condition because i loose power steering and power brakes when it stalls. why is chrysler not doing anything about this as it clearly is a safety issue that they must be aware of. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/05/06/owners-of-more-than-150000-chryslers-warned-that-their-cars-could-suddenly-stall/ . *tr
Filled up gas tank and car stalled while stopped at a stop light had to restart and then stalled as i was getting onto the freeway had to coast to side of road. very dangerous because car lost all power and started to roll backwards with cars behind me. *tr
Filled up at costco and immediately after leaving the car stalled, restarted and stalled five more times in three miles. the stalling does create a dangerous driving situation. *tr
Stalling after fill up and under acceleration. car stalls out and all power systems fail within minutes after refueling to a full tank. car is in motion at any speed and has nearly caused two rear end crashes from cars behind it when it suddenly stops and the power steering and brakes and electrical systems shut off. this also happens during acceleration at 1700 rpm at any time. car is always in motion. car can be restarted again within a few seconds to 5 minutes later. problem started at 130,000 miles. possible issue with the gas tank, fuel line, filter or stuck valve. mechanics say there is no fix and to not fill up the gas tank.
After refueling my 2005 chrysler 300c, it will stall at low speeds. i have read the report pe13-016, which covers the 2006 chrysler model. *tr
Vehicle stalls repeatedly after filling up. in reference to pe13016, the action refers to cars from model years 2005 and 2006. yet, the final investigation results only include the 2006 model year? 2005 cars are also affected. this is well documented not only in complaints listed here but all over in internet forums. you know this is a problem, chrysler knows it is a problem thus a recall of the model year 2006. do the right thing and recall model year 2005 before someone gets killed. this is a very dangerous situation as when the vehcle dies you lose your power brakes, your power steering, and you are a sitting duck. recall the 2005's and fix this life threatening problem. *js
After refueling, engine stops running at low speed or idle. engine restarts immediately. after several miles and 4 or 5 restarts engine runs smoothly. dangerous because of loss of acceleration, steering and braking. *tr
Filled up tank at gas station and immediately after leaving gas station the car stalled, restarted right away but felt sluggish. started a right turn and engine shut off again in the middle of my turn! this really scarred me as it was a busy intersection and could have caused an accident! i restarted and stalled a block later. i took car to a mechanic to test gas and he found no problem with the gas. the car ran fine the next day. on 1-17-2015 i stopped at costco to fill up, car stalled immediately as i started to pull away the gas station. car died about 5 other times within the parking lot of costco. the car would restart immediately. i drove about 3 miles to the express way and drove 35 miles home with no problems. the unexpected stalling of the engine can cause an accident, in my case, this second time i was on a busy parking lot on a saturday with cars turning and certainly no one expects a car to stall in the middle of a turn. before this happened, over the years i had experienced problems with filling up the gas tank where the station gas pump would stop even after pumping less than half a gallon. i always thought it was the pump at the station and i would go to another pump or another station and it would fill up ok. *tr
For last year if we fill the gas tank to full the car stalls in traffic shortly after leaving the fuel station. highly dangerous. my wife doesn't fill the tank anymore after three incidents where she was almost hit did not happen until we moved car to florida. maybe related to gas temperature in gas station versus fuel temperature in car? *tr
After filling car with gas it dies just bought this car 3 weeks ago and it has happened 4 times all after getting gas, looked and no recalls. this is very dangerous and scary. *js
It began when i started pumping gas after it reach like 10 gallons of fuel the clicker will stop as if it was full tank already but still needed a long way to fill up so i automatically began to pump gas and it kept clicking and clicking it didn't want to keep pumping so i stop as i began driving the car began to pulled it self hard like if it was running out of gas check engine and the esp bas light when on started to smell like gas got me worried when on it kept doing it so i took it in to the dealer and they told me it was the egr valve ,thermostat and spark plugs needed to be repair i asked if their was a recall because i have received a later stating that something that's has to do with the gas tank,he looked it up and he said no. i did the labor that needed to be done to car it was ok for couple hrs then it began to do the same thing lunging then car stalled try to restarted it wouldn't go on waited couple mins tried again and it wouldn't start gave it a lil longer time then try to turn it on again and it finally started after multiple times i really need to fix it i find it dangerous.. *tr
This issue has happened to me multiple times. i am just driving down the road and the engine stalls. when this happens i loose my power steering and have to try to get to the side of the road. once i put the car in park and turn it off it will then restart. this has happened at speeds from10-70. the second issue is sometimes the car lunges forward on its own or accelerates much more than what i am pressing the gas pedal. i have talked to other owners of these cars and we all seem to be having the same problems but when we take it to mechanics since it doesn't happen when they test drive it they can't tell us what's wrong. i have had some very close calls with these issues and came very close to being involved in accidents. i am sure there have been accidents caused by these same issues but it might not have been traced back to the car, it was probably thought that it was driver error. *tr
After filling my fuel tank the car would stall at speeds ranging from 5 - 30 mph causing loss of steering and braking. upon shifting into neutral it would start but would stall 2 or 3 more times. i was not sure of the cause until june of this year when i got a notice from chrysler about the problem and that they have issued a recall. i brought the vehicle to a dealer and they informed me that they had to order the part. this was 7/16/2014. to date they have not received the part and i called chrysler and they say they are not producing them. the car in this state is not safe. i cannot imagine what would happen if i were going at highway speed. there must be some recourse to force a manufacturer to honor a recall. *tr
After filling tank with fuel, car stalled at next few intersections. had to turn off completely for transmission to reset and engage several times. has happened previously but not sure of date, approximately in the last 6 months. due to loss of steering and sitting still in moving traffic, this creates a true hazard. have owned vehicle since it was new. *tr
After refueling, vehicle will start moving and then engine "chokes out and cuts off . acting as if i just put in bad fuel. i can sit and ideal and it will run just fine, i can race the engine and there is not problem. however, when i put it in drive, just as it seems to becoming out of 1st gear it chokes out and the engine shuts off. i accelerated to merge onto interstate highway, just after filling the tank, the engine chokes out and cuts off and my family was almost hit by a tractor trailer. each time engine cuts off i loose brake and steering function. this is happening all the time now, when i fill the tank. i have been told there is no recall but many reports to chrysler service.
Car stalls after full or partial fill-up at gas station. very dangerous if stall occurs when in freeway traffic or when making turns in front of oncoming traffic!! *tr
After filling up, the car died while leaving the gas lot almost causing an accident. the car started, it drove for a few seconds and died again. this happens everytime i fill the gas tank. i also notice what my mechanic calls a towing effect when i'm driving. i have had a full fune up on the car along with having the transmission fluid changed and the car still dies and has the towing effect when i drive. this is very much a safety issue and from seeing what other people are saying, why hasn't this issue been addressed. if i am involved in an accident because of this, there will be a lawsuit. *tr
Car stalls after gas tank is filled up. car stalls while driving and at intersections. this is dangerous. review on internet shows that many others have this same problem. current solution is to avoid filling up the gas tank. *js
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 this happen again. obviously, the safety of my children, myself and any other innocent person on the road has me concerned. i'm the original owner, and i never topped off the tank. please recall the fuel tank on these cars as they are not safe. also, please include the 2005 year in your investigation. *tr
Car stalls after filling car up with gas. *tr
Since november 2013, each time i fill up my 2005 chrysler 300c, it stalls for the first 5--20 minutes after the fill up. in december 2013, i brought it to my chrysler dealership (which has worked on the car since 2006), and it said my car needed an evap canister and a solenoid. the parts were ordered and the installation/replacement work was done on december 6, 2013. this did not fix the problem. the car still stalls, starting right as i pull out from the gas station. the most disconcerting thing is that when the engine stalls, and you are steering into a corner, the power steering is gone. this makes steering very difficult and is very dangerous, particularly on the two-lane roads i mostly travel. i am now thinking it may be that there is some water in the gasoline tank or gasoline line. i sense the electronics in the engine calling for gas (or not accepting gas) when there is something bad in the gasoline line. not sure how there is water in the tank, as the car since being purchased new is garaged when at home and at work and well cared for otherwise. i just read this evening on the web that chrysler is aware of the problem and has known since at least may of 2013. this is very disconcerting; the dealership mentioned nothing about this known problem to me. and so i had this work done needlessly, at my expense and for no successful result. the dealership should have acknowledged the recall to me when i first brought the car in with this issue. it was suggested i might need to replace the gas tank. has chrysler figured out what the problem is? did this in turn result in a recall? can i ask the dealership for my money back? any suggestions on how this can be fixed? *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. the contact stated that while driving approximately 5 mph after refueling, the vehicle stalled without warning and could not be restarted. the failure would recur whenever the vehicle was refueled. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer however, the dealer indicated that the entire fuel tank needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified and of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 100,00.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300c.the contact stated that after refueling to capacity, the vehicle stalled without warning. in addition, the battery exploded on a separate occasion. the failures occurred without any warning. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 38,200.
I purchased this 2005 chrysler 300c on november 20, 2013 from hoover chrysler dealership and ever since then the car has been stalling out every time i get gas and i do not over fill my tank but do fill it up to almost full. anyways this problem can cause serious injuries i've had it stall out on the highway and all going at high speeds. i can't believe that this car is doing this i traded my 2010 dodge charger sxt which wasn't the hemi for a hemi and feel like i got a worst engine. anyways i really hope this problem is fixed by chrysler i've spent alot on repairs and this isn't fair that the buyer has to deal with this type of problem i've owned plenty of cars and never have had this happen so obviously chrysler is responsible! *tr
Filled up at gas station. did not "top off" tank. allowed it to stop on its own. car died unexpectedly pulling out of gas station into traffic. died twice again on way home.
This situation has occurred countless times over the last year and a half. after fueling, vehicle will randomly stall out, either at idle or under way. this has occurred under various driving conditions; at speed, at traffic signals, or much worse on turns (with obvious sudden loss of power steering.) i understand from my own research that there is a check valve in the fuel tank that fails, allowing raw gasoline to enter the vapor recovery system, which causes the stall. the only way to replace this valve is to replace the fuel tank, as the valve is molded into and is integral to the tanks construction. i've had quotes around $1,200 to replace the tank, and it is not clear that the new tanks will have a redesigned valve, so the problem may not in fact be rectified after all. this is an extremely dangerous condition, as i've been in situations where the unexpected loss of power steering compromised the vehicle's performance on turns. stalling coming off a traffic signal actually caused following vehicles to require dangerous evasive maneuvers. it is inevitable that someone is going to get severely hurt or killed as a result of these sudden stalling conditions. *tr
Recently purchased 2005 chrysler 300c thought i was getting great deal only had 47700 miles on it. first fill up it stalled immediately after and did so several times. i tried revving up the engine while in neutral but as soon as i drove off it stalled again. i was so afraid someone was going to hit me from behind until i could get into to turning lane. it seemed to work, well didn't stall out, when i would accelerate when it seemed as if it was going to go dead. i took it back the dealership they said was a vent in fuel tank that was clogged, only fix to replace which they are not wanting to do and i have only have the car 1 week. *tr
Vehicle stalls one or more times after refueling, particularly while decelerating. vehicle may then lurch several times before resuming normal operation, which usually occurs after 5-10 minutes of driving. problem is intermittent but ongoing. mechanic has not been able to resolve problem. *tr
On 3 separate occasions immediately following filling with gas, the engine died within 2 blocks of the gas station. no check engine light was displayed on any of the 3 occasions and the car was extremely difficult to restart, requiring at least 30 seconds. also, after restart on all 3 occasions, the engine ran very rough for 1-2 miles and then ran smoothly. on 1 of the occasions, the car died the next day after only driving a few blocks from home. after the first occurrence, the spark plugs were changed, the throttle body was cleaned, the vapor canister was replaced, and the evaporation system solenoid was replaced. on 1 of the occasions, the gas tank was topped off beyond the initial shut-off by several tenths of a gallon. after the 3rd occurrence (70,796 miles), the car was taken to the olathe chrysler dealership and diagnosed as needing to replace the gas tank (2/20/2013). the cost was $1583.58. since then, the vehicle now has 72,062 miles ... approximately 1200 miles since replacing the gas tank ... and has not died following filling with gas (6 times). *tr
2005 chrysler 300 hemi 5.7. if you almost fill gas tank, the car will stall out without warning for approximately two days. i have asked the local dealer. they show no tsb or recall. this is not safe. i have seen many articles about this on the internet. *tr
For the last couple years, my chrysler 300c would occasionally stall. mostly it would be at lower speeds, but there have been multiple times the car would stall at highway speeds. i have spent a good amount of money trying to fix the issue. i just recently realized, it would occur when i had a full tank of gas. i have read that there is many other chrysler 300 owners that have the same issue. it seems shocking that an issue like this could go this long without any warnings or recalls. i have been in many dangerous driving situations, due to this issue... i could see this issue becoming more of an noticeable problem, due to the lower gas prices. i usually put in the same amount of money when i fill up. not until more recently, with the lower gas prices, that amount fills my tank. that is why it took me this long to realize that it happens when i fill the tank. *tr
