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

NHTSA ID 11684888 · filed Sep 3, 2025

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?

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, THE CAR STARTS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND DRIVES OFF WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AS THE CAR SLOWS DOWN WHETHER STOPPING OR TURNING THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN THE CAR VEERS INTO THE OTHER LANE BECAUSE THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THE CAR HAS TO STOPPED BEFORE IT CAN BE RESTARTED. ALSO IF YOU ARE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AFTER REFILLING WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE WILL REACH THE DESIRED SPEED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, AFTER MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AS SOON THE DESIRED SPEED IS REACH AND THE MOTOR SLOWS, THE CAR MOTOR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. THIS SCENARIO WILL CONTINUE UNTIL SOME GAS IS BURNED OUT OF THE GAS TANK. AFTERWARDS THE CARS RUNS FINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THE INSPECTION BECAUSE THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

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.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C DOOR HANDLES FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. AFTER A YEAR OR TWO WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE BACK EXTERIOR (CHROME) RIGHT DOOR HANDLE BECAME PARTIALLY DETACHED. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND SINCE THEN, THE VERY SAME DOOR HANDLE AS WELL AS THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS PARTIALLY DETACHED. ALSO, THE HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COMPLETELY DETACHED. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH IT. AS PRICEY AS THIS VEHICLE IS, YOU WOULD THINK THAT CHRYSLER WOULD USE THE BEST PARTS FOR THEIR VEHICLES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE HANDLES. WHEN I REPLACED IT BEFORE, IT COST ABOUT $200 AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THESE HANDLES WHEN CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE ON THEIR END. I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT MY CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE AFTER PUTTING GAS IN IT AND THE OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON SOMETIMES. MY HEADLIGHTS ALSO DON'T WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE TO KEEP THE HEADLIGHT KNOB IN THE AUTO POSITION JUST FOR THEM TO REMAIN ON OTHERWISE THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK ON AND OFF. SO DURING THE DAYTIME, MY HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE UNTIL AFTER I TOOK MY CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I ABSOLUTELY HATE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (HEBERT'S TOWN & COUNTRY) BECAUSE THEY NEVER CAN SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR THEY END UP CREATING ONE. *TR
