Always after fueling, car will stall several times, until it stays running. May stall as soon as start eng.,or start to drive off, or down the road or freeway. Or at stop signs, or lights.
My Chrysler 300 2006 has been stalling at low speeds and when stopped after refueling. I took the vehicle to the dealership to have them check the problem for the first time in June. They did not find anything so I continued to deal with the issue until September because the issue got worse and stalled on the expressway. I received a notice from Chrysler about my vehicle having a recall and to set up service. Only after I brought the notice to the dealer did the acknowledge that this was the reason my car was stalling so much. They said the repairs were covered under warranty and they would order the fuel tank. This was over a month ago the dealership still has not received the parts. I recently was in a car accident because of this defect, my vehicle stalled on on the road and caused a 4 car pile up. I have contacted Chrysler and they are not trying to resolve the issue.
In April of 2014 I informed my local Chrysler dealer of a stalling problem on our Chrysler 300C. This problem first occurred in 2011 after fueling the vehicle and pulling into traffic. The engine did restart and cleared itself out right away. I complained to the dealer and at that time I'm guessing it was a new issue because " we have never heard of that". after doing some research I found out others were also having this problem after fill up. In Feb 2014 I read an article about a lifetime warranty on these and other LX platform Chrysler on these tanks. Back to the dealership I go with this information and the local dealer put me on a waiting list. In Sept. 2014 we were told we were next on the list for a new tank. It is now late October and still no tank. The dealership told me there were 2000 of these tanks on backorder and the would be distributed as they are built. Today I called the Chrysler support line. The lady was very sympathetic. She called my dealer and somehow I went from next on the list to #3 on the list. I now feel that the bean counters think a lot of the cars will somehow go away and then so will the problem. A few stalled vehicles involved in lethal crashes caused by this stalling issue linked to the fuel shut off float sticking may be what it takes. We know that by only fueling the tank to 3/4 full we do not have the problem. If we should trade this vehicle the next owner needs to know that there is a lifetime warranty on the tank but there is no parts support.
After filling the gas tank, in phoenix, AZ, entering an intersection, the car stalled! we were almost hit by a car coming from another direction. It did this (stalling) many times. Scary! apparently they issued an internal memo in June of 2013. In may, 2014 Chrysler sent a letter to us extending the gas tank warranty to a lifetime coverage. They said it was the "fuel shut-off float, in the multifunction control valve sticks, which may result in the vehicle stalling after refueling." "simply contact your dealer to have the re pairs performed". challenge is: The dealers do not have any fuel tanks. Glendale, ca Chrysler has a waiting list of 2,276 yesterday, October 1, 2014. We are and have been #8 at hunter Dodge in lancaster, ca since early May. We never fill the tank. It is too great a risk! help please.

Shortly after I filled up my car it started stalling out. I was on the freeway and the car completely power down and shut off. I was able to pull over to the side of the road waited a few minutes and restarted the car. The car is continuing to stall out and I don't know what else to do. I have been to the dealership and they are not aware of what to do and just want me to bring it in an let it sit. But I need transportation that does not stall out and it is very dangerous my children were with me in the car when I lost power.
Vehicle stalls while driving. One night while slowing down from 70 mph to 55 mph vehicle hesitated but did not stall, check enginge light came on and went off. Next morning vehicle stalled while sitting at a stop sign, restarted and then stalled again after less then two blocks. Took it to mechanic he could not find anything wrong, vehicle drove fine for a few days, then stalled again. Called Chrysler customer service and was instructed to take vehicle to dealer and tell them about X-53 warranty. Dealership checked vehicle and stated it was infact the fuel tank and would order the replacement. Told me I was in line to recevie a replacement but they only receive one replacment fuel tank every 14 business days. Car was driving fine for 2 weeks now it's stalling again, does not matter amount of gas in tank car stalls at different speeds and when coming to a stop. Contacted Chrysler to see if there was anyway the shipping/ordering of tanks could be increased and this time they tell me my vehicle is not covered under the extended warranty and I had to pay out of pocket if I wanted to have the vehicle repaired. Can this case be re-opened to look at all Chrysler 19 gallon fuel tanks not just the ones on the X53 extened warranty listing. Thanks

Every time we get the car filled with gas it stalls until we drive and restart it for 2 or 3 miles. It is very dangerous and I am afraid that there will be someone that runs into me during one of the stalls. I replaced the gas cap but that did not help the problem. I went on line and now see that it is a very common problem. There should be a recall by Chrysler to immediately correct this very serious problem!!!
Everytime the car was filled up, it stalls a few times. This had been happening a lot during this pst year and still currently happens. Luckily I was able to pull over when the car stalled, otherwise it will create accident. This is dangerous when driving on the crowded traffic. After it stalls couple times, the engine got clogged and it is difficult to start(this was the same time-dame day after filling up the tank). I brought it to the mechanic and he said he can't find anything since at the time he got the car to check, it doesn't stall.
Car stalls after refueling. Difficult to restart and leaves you in a very dangerous situation. We've had it completely stall going 70 mph down the interstate and almost was involved in an accident while limping to the shoulder. Too dangerous to re-merge after car finally restarts because it will hesitate and misfire or stall again. This will happen about every 2 months with no symptoms between incidents. Also seems to happen more in hotter weather.
The first time it happened I was sitting at a red light waiting to turn left. The car just stalled. I restarted without difficulty. It was a few days after when it happened again. It has probably happened about 7 times more since then, every time while I was idling with my foot on the brake. Each time it restarted on the first try. However for the first time today the car stalled while in drive going about 15 mph.
