Problems with 2006 Chrysler 300C FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

Vehicle often stalls after filling gas tank. usually restarts right away. no check engine light. *tr

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. *tr

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.. *tr

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. *tr

Tl* 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 *js

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. *tr

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. *tr

Engine stalls when the fuel tank is full. *tr

Tl* 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

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? *tr

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). *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr

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.. *tr

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. *tr

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. *tr
