Completed x53 extended warranty a year prior at dealership, car still stalls only after putting fuel even though always filling to 3/4-7/8 of tank. Had my children with me Car stalled again today at middle of busy street when about to make a left turn after i filled to 3/4 of a tank. Had dodge dealer in Manteca, CA diagnose after first stall half a year prior and they would not replace faulty new tank. Still had to pay diagnostic fee saying fuel liquid was getting into vapor lines and flooding engine and that new tank is not the issue even though it is allowing fuel liquid to pass through vent valve which caused saturation of vapor canister and purge solenoid and engine stalling. Car only stalls when pumping gas 3/4 tank or above

car stalled after filling gas tank. I was driving through an intersection and had to stop for oncoming traffic, when the car stalled and would not immediately restart, it eventually did start after several panic moments of being stuck in the intersection while the light was changing to let opposite traffic proceed. It stalled 2 more times on the way home. Both times I was slowing the car down when this occurred. I have been fearful of driving this car again since this happened. I heard there was a recall from Chrysler for lifetime replacement of gas tank due to a possible control valve shutoff float failure. My vehicle has never had the gas tank or float replaced, but it does not show up for a recall when I enter VIN. What should I do?

When car is cranked and put in gear or stop car will go dead. When driving if I ease off gas and then reapply the gas car will stall which can be quite hazardous while driving. The problem was intermittent has been going since I have had the car thought the tank recall would fix the problem which it we thought had corrected the problem for a time. But it became intermittent at first it was every few weeks and now it does it whenever I drive the car several times as I drive recently I am now afraid to try and drive it especially any distance. The gas tank was replaced due to a recall. Have replaced fuel tank and thermostat. My mechanic isn't sure what is going on. I have seen various forums where others are having the same problems with their 2006 Chrysler 300 C's and have taken them back to the dealer and they have not been able to determine what the problem is. I feel this should be investigated.

When my gas is very low car doesn't cut off and runs fine, but when I fill car up it stalls and cuts off, this is very dangerous it cuts off at red lights, stop signs, slow traffic, I've seen this is a Warranty/Recall problem with the faulty fuel tanks, with stuck open fuel shutoff valve. My car is running at max fuel because of this problem. It's been like this since I bought car 2 months ago. I need this fixed immediately. And all parts on my car are brand new this Faulty fuel tank is the Culprit

While driving my Chrysler when I stop at a red light or stop sign the car will simply stall out and die so I put it back in park and recrank it and sometimes it'll die immediately after that and sometimes it'll wait till the next red light or until I'm making next stop. And when the car is in park it'll stall out I'll simply have to crank it right back up sometimes it'll stall out immediately after that and sometimes it'll run for a minute or two and then stall out. But as long as I got my gas my foot on the gas while I'm breaking at the same time it won't die

Yesterday I experienced an SUA incident and nearly lost my life. I was entering a freeway and began to accelerate my car. Suddenly I felt as if the gears kicked and the car began to accelerate on its own to max revolutions. I pressed down on the brakes to see if it would stop and there was heavy resistance. I took my foot on the break and the car began to accelerate and rev completely on its own and the engine felt as if it was going to explode. I luckily was able to jam my foot on the break and pull over to the emergency lane and eventually come to a full stop. From there I put the car in park and removed my foot from the break pedal. Again the car began to jump to full revs with the engine screaming. I turned the car off and on several times and this continued to happen. After waiting one hour I was able to start the car and drive 20 mph back to my home and I will have it towed to a repair shop shortly. If I panicked or was not strong enough to press down on the brake pedal, the car would have accelerated to full speed and I certainly would have died and likely other people would have too.

Vehicle stalls when idling or coming to a stop, mainly at low RPM. No codes are thrown. Gas tank has been replaced and fuel pump is new, still stalls. There are many reports on the Chrysler 300 Forum regarding the same situation. Many people have thrown good money after bad towards parts and still there's issues. I have my car at the Moss Bros Dealership in Riverside Ca. now for 5 days to try and repair this Safety Issue! 3/28/23. Car has stalled approximately 20 times, 4 times which were on the freeway. The car will start up and run fine for several days and then it acts up. Could be a number of things, but with no codes, pretty hard to diagnose the stalling issue.

Went back to the dealer they said they could not duplicate it then i drove it it stopped and i turned around and brought it back then they duplicated it . I have been replacing parts that have nothing to do with the stalling problem. it is currently in the dealer as we speak. this problem started when i had 64000 miles on it then it progressively got worse

Car stalls out when driving. Almost was rear-ended, broadside, front ended and sideswiped too many times to note! Have new gas tank per recall. Still stalls. Dealership has witnessed stall but can't locate problem and charges me 150.00 for useless diagnostic test and still not able to find stalling problem. Dealership doesn't care. Laughed at me. Had it in shop several times. Nothing. I'm disabled and on fixed income. Dealership attempts to have me purchase new vehicle. I can't afford one! Stalls out when turning, stopped and while maintaining consistent speed. Can't fill up gas tank or stalling is worse. Can't let tank run under 1/4 full or stalling. I'm barely able to drive anywhere due to fear of stalling and getting hit. Chrysler seems to not care. I told service manager that if I or someone else is hurt or killed its their fault for not fixing or caring about owners of this car. Death and injuries are going to happen cuz this is so dangerous and horror filled! I don't know what else to do. My beautiful 300 is not safe. I am basically carless. This has been going on for almost 4 years with no resolution or kindness. I almost was hit by a gravel truck when attempting to push car out of road! IM DISABLED!!! I can't go anywhere without being afraid it will stall at anytime for no reason. Dealership has checked repeatedly and diagnosis tests and even left car at dealership for days and still no resolution. They really don't care. I once loved Chrysler and now I am full of fear and anger that Chrysler doesn't care. There is numerous complaints about the same problem. Dealership did suggest I have a full tune up at several hundreds dollars! HA! Said a tune up will not fix it and nothing showed on diagnosis a need for tune up. Car runs beautiful when not stalling! My heart is broken. What's the point of charging me 150.00 for nothing? Then laugh when car stalls as I leave dealership. Guess that's how poor people are treated.

The car is prone to intermittent stalling, in which the engine cuts out without warning or signs of stumbling. Often it happens at idle or when initially accelerating from idle, but has also happened several times at speed, up to 40 mph, with accompanying loss of power steering. Sometimes the engine kicks back on after a momentary loss of RPMs, if at speed, but other times it does not. I have brought it to two Chrysler dealerships and three independent mechanics in an effort to find the problem, with various parts being replaced, including the X53 extended warranty for the 19 gallon fuel tank, but the problem persists without successful diagnosis. Only one of the independent mechanics was reportedly able to replicate the condition. Usually, the check engine light, electronic throttle control light, oil light, traction control, and electronic stability lights turn on during a stall, and sometimes the check engine light stays on. The car may several trips without a stall and then stall multiple times in one trip. It usually does not generate a code, but sometimes produces P0700 and U0100 codes. The car always starts again following a complete stall. These symptoms appear fairly widespread in 2006 Chrysler 300 vehicles, based on car owner forums. The level of fuel in the tank does not appear related.

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE14-016 in June 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in Florida or Puerto Rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by Takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.During the course of PE14-016, ODI determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by Takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers.Nonetheless, at ODI's insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation.The regions recalled initially included Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures.As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to Takata for testing.Takata's initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from Florida.Accordingly ODI requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the Gulf States and other coastal areas.Takata's testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions.During PE14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.Also during PE14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically California and North Carolina.Accordingly, ODI requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject Takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls.Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or Takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity.Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing.All test ruptures reported by Takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time.ODI's investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.The five ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492

During PE13-016, Chrysler identified a condition in model year (MY) 2005 through 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Magnum vehicles equipped with 5.7L and 6.1L 8-cylinder HEMI engines that may result in engine stall after refueling when the vehicle is stopped or travelling at low speeds. According to Chrysler, the multifunction control valve (MFCV) fuel shutoff float integrated into 19-gallon fuel tanks can swell in a stuck open position allowing an overfill condition.This condition causes fuel to enter into the purge line which may result in engine stall after refueling.Chrysler's investigation determined that the problem was related to dimensional changes/swelling of the float when exposed to fuels with high ethanol content.Chrysler and its supplier, Stant, developed new fuel soak test requirements to address the condition and extended the warranty period on 19-gallon fuel tanks to lifetime coverage.The owner letter mailing began in January 2014.See the investigative file for copies of Chrysler's owner letter.The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed 1262 complaints related to engine stall that were provided by Chrysler or submitted to ODI from consumers.In total, there were 299 unique reports indicating that the fuel system allowed an overfill condition after refueling, and the predominant failure mode identified involved stalling when stopped or travelling at low speeds.The complaint counts shown in this resume include incidents in which enough detail was available to verify the symptoms were related to the defect condition identified by Chrysler.The condition that is causing the majority of stalling incidents in the subject vehicles occurs at a stop or low speed and allows the vehicle to be restarted immediately.The condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty. This preliminary evaluation is closed.
