After filling gas tank ( full) the car stalls for the first couple of miles. Then stop shortly after. This IS happening more and more. There was a recall for the 2005-2006 models with the 5.7 and 6.1 liter engines, but not for the 3.5 liter that I own even though I have found through the chrysler forums this IS a problem for many of these model ( 2005-20006) chrysler gave a life time warranty to the 5.7 and 6.1 liter models , but not mine. Even though this IS the same dangerous problem as those vehicles.

Shifter will not come out of park unless you pull console apart and physically push the spring under the front of the shifter with screwdriver. they have a recall on if not this part a very similar part between the years 2005-2007 which this clearly falls into but IS vin specific and they claim doesn't pertain to my vehicle. funny it IS bypassed identically to the people who the recall does cover. clearly a known flaw by the amount of people complaining about it but they won't do anything. Car IS stationary when this occurs.

I can no longer fill my gas tank to the "full" level , if I do, my car randomly stalls out while driving or making any kind of turn, with out any warning or notification in the dash board . Also if I top off my gas tank the inside of my smells strongly of fuel , as it IS leaking inside some how .

After filling the gas the car will sputter and stall. I always use 91-93 octane fuel from the kroger fuel stations, and when leaving the last few times I've had problems getting up to speed without the car getting to speed or stalling. it will restart normally pretty easily other than yesterday when my wife was driving it, it kept stalling coming home, she parked it, and the next morning it refused to start. it took a while but after starting and running it a bit, it's running fine. vehicle was recently in for checkup at 78900 miles (80K checkup) and has just over 80K on it now. I'm an adult disabled driver, it gets driven just not far at any given time.

The car it shut off after every gas filling immediately after getting into traffic its very scary and very dangerous situation

Ref. Nhtsa pe13016 "faulty fuel tanks" make: chrysler; model: 300 limited; component: fuel delivery system. every time we re-fuel the car to the "full" level, the car hesitates and stalls. On two separate occasions, this stalling has resulted in an potential collision with another vehicle being avoided only by astute driver intervention. the first occurrence was in september 2015 and has consistently repeated during every refueling since. No research or attempt to have it diagnosed or repaired has been successful. Chrysler corporation has no notification of this problem being associated with the provided vin number and states that they can do nothing until such a notice IS received. I am requesting your intervention on my behalf by notifying chrysler corporation of this reported and known public safety issue and concern with the fuel delivery system. once documented, I can arrange to have the necessary repairs made before any other emergency situations are experienced thereby preventing injury to my wife and/or myself or any other individuals involved in a preventable accident. thank you for the courtesy of your time and the quick acknowledgement of receipt. *tr

When by gas level gets to 1/4 tank or below and I refuel, the car stalls for a while and sometimes shuts off while I'm driving. This also happens anytime I fill up.

I have read multiple posts that fit exactly the same description to what happened recently with our 2006 chrysler 300C 5.7L hemi AWD - so I thought I would share our experience. we have always taken very good care of our 300, regular services etc and have kept every single documentation since purchased. recently, my wife was driving at 70-75 mph on I-95 - engine completely conked out and started steaming. Towed it to the mechanic. Originally the mechanic said it was just a crack/leak in the radiator, which would cost $750. They went ahead and fixed this problem. However, 2 hours later we get a call saying there was a severe crack in the engine that has caused a major leak internally. Now at the mercy of the mechanic, as we owe them $750 for their misdiagnosis. new diagnosis - need a complete engine replacement that would cost approx $8000-$8500. Absolutely pointless when you take into consideration kbb value IS between $9,000-$10,000. after doing my research it seems a new 300 engine would be between $4,000-$5,500 and labor IS approx $1,800-$2,500. So I guess it isn't a bad deal for mechanics who can possibly fix it themselves. However, as usual the loyal customers always seem to get screwed by chrysler. worst part about it IS 4 months ago we purchased a new 300. Maybe this was one of the reasons they revamped the entire engine of the newer chrysler 300 model range???

Driving west on rt 20 in granby ct, passing through intersection on a green light, was struck head-on by another vehicle, both cars were totaled & towed away. on the other drivers' car, all of the air bags deployed, there were no injuries, while on our chrysler 300, none of the air bags deployed, causing injury to left elbow & right shoulder. Lack of air bags deployment may have been a good thing since we subsequently received a recall notice for the drivers' air bag inflator/detonator defects causing severe injuries & deaths.

Symptom/condition: vehicle may experience shudder on slow, parking lot type turns. The friction disc in the transfer case can become clogged with iron particles and may create a stick-slip condition with the pressure plate inside the transfer case. Chrysler was aware of this defect september 15, 2005 but shipped the cars anyway...

The car IS stuck in park, had it towed to the dealership. They said this happens all the time and it's very common. They said it IS the shift interlock switch, somehow not covered on the recall. $90 to tow and they say it will be several hundred to fix the tiny plastic part. Very unsafe.
