2006 Chrysler 300 AWD Fuel system Problems

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.

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.

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

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE AT THE DEALER. ON 2/28/2015 I HAD JUST LEFT THE GROCERY STORE AND WAS PULLING OF THE PARKING LOT INTO TRAFFIC, CAR STARTED TO HESITATE AND THEN COMPLETELY CUT OFF. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT FINALLY RESTARTED. THEN ON 2/25/2015 AFTER REFUELING AS I WAS SETTING IN TRAFFIC THE CAR STALLED AND CUT OFF AGAIN. THIS MORNING WHILE TAKING KIDS TO SCHOOL THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SLOW DOWN THEN CUT OFF. WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT? *TR

THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT, BUT INFO FOR OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS WITH THE FUEL FILL/STALLING PROBLEM. WE JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER, TELLING US THEY HAVE ISSUED A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAD OUR 2006 300 FIXED IN 2 DAYS! THE FUEL TANK AND INTERNAL VALVES WERE REPLACED AFTER REMOVING THE EXHAUST AND DRIVELINE. THE JOB TOOK 5-6 HOURS AND WE WERE NOT CHARGED A CENT! THE CAR IS AGAIN RUNNING VERY WELL WITHOUT STALLING. THANK YOU, CHRYSLER! *TR

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR STALLING OUT OR BOGGING DOWN SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING AND MANY TIMES HAPPENING WITHIN LESS THAN A MILE OF REFUELING. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEMS (AND AM NOW BEING STUCK PAYING A $95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE), AND CALLING CHRYSLER DIRECTLY WHO IS UNWILL TO TRY TO ASSIST. IF THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016), I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T BEING ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

VERY SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING MY CAR (PROBABLY DRIVEN LESS THAN 1000 FEET) THE CAR SHUTTERED AND STALLED. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY BUT THEN SHUT DOWN AGAIN WITHIN THE MILE. AGAIN, IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILLED THE TANK AND IT STALLED AGAIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY UPON EXITING THE GAS STATION. AGAIN, IT RESTARTED ON THE FIRST TRY AND I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP OR SINCE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT REFUELED SINCE; SO DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I DO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER AND IT IS DEEMED I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. GAS TANKS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT AND OUR CAR IS LOW MILEAGE AND IN MINT CONDITION. THIS SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY DESIGN PROBLEM. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND I SUSPECT WITH OTHERS WHO OWN THE SAME MODEL. (I DID NOT "TOP OFF" THE TANK ON EITHER OCCASION.) *TR

I ALREADY HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS MATTER. I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE FUEL TANKS AS A RECALL ON HIS VEHICLE ON FEB.10,2014 , PE13016. RECALL LETTERS TO BE SENT OUT STARTING JAN. 2014. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER. I CALLED CHRYSLER (1-800-247-9753) THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS RECALL. I QUESTIONED THIS AND THE OPERATOR (EMPLOYER #[XXX] HAD NO ANSWER. I HAVE A CASE # WITH THEM #[XXX]. AND ALTHOUGH THE NHTSA THINKS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM I BEG TO DIFFER. THIS CAR HAS STALLED AFTER REFUELING AT SPEEDS UP TO 55 MPH OR FASTER. THIS IS A $1500 OR MORE REPAIR I WAS TOLD & WOULD LIKE TO HAVE CHRYSLER TAKE CARE OF THIS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FOR THE 5TH TIME IN 12 MONTHS, MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C STALLED AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC WHO DID A TUNE UP, NEW SPARK PLUGS, AND EVEN REPLACED VALVE LIFTERS TO TRY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND SEE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO ME THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL, AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO STALL WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK WITH GAS. *TR

AFTER REFILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY 2006 300C CHRYSLER, IT STUMBLES AS THOUGH IT IS NO LONGER GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. THERE IS A DEFINITE AND SERIOUS LOSS OF POWER, WITH CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY AS WE EXIT THE GAS STATION AND REENTER TRAFFIC. THERE IS A SENSE THAT THE ENGINE IS STRUGGLING AND WOULD STALL. THE LOSS OF POWER REPEATS SEVERAL MORE TIMES AS WE DRIVE FURTHER FROM THE GAS STATION. THIS PROBLEM HAS PRESENTED ITSELF ALMOST EVERY TIME WE REFUEL AND IS CAUSE FOR REAL CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. BASED ON ADVICE FROM OTHER 300C OWNERS, WE PLAN TO NO LONGER FILL THE TANK, BUT STOP AT ABOUT THE 3/4 MARK. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A VERY EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO A GENUINE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
