Purchased 2008 Chrysler 300C about a month ago. Interior has odor of gasoline. I googled and read about the issue. Seems it is not uncommon and some folks have found cracked pump or a need for replacing the seal of pump. I don't see any fuel sitting on top when I pull up the rear seat. Usually smell after car sits for awhile then seems to dissipate while driving.. could it be something else in engine? this is an everyday occurrence with the odor.
Since fueling there is a strong smell of gas inside vehicle and near passenger rear wheel well after vehicle sits. There is no sign of leaking anywhere. Found a large number of similar complaints, but no solutions online.
Car completely shuts down on us. No hesitation, no warning just completely shuts off while driving, park, reverse or at standstill! have taken it to mechanics and to Chrysler 3 times and the can not figure out why it's shutting down! this happens several times daily.
A strong odor of gasoline ocurs every time the fuel tank is filled to 3/4 th. Or more. The gastank has been replaced once, the fuel level seal on top the tank has been replaced. And the tank has been pressurized to try to find the cause, but to no avail.this has been going on for several months, and the dealer remedies have not eliminated the problem. Less fuel in the tank eliminates the strong odor of gasoline. When parked, the odor is worse. The garage is dangerously filled with gasoline fumes.

Had two occasions in the past 12 months where as I'm driving along, the engine shut off and was barely able to keep car from colliding with other vehicles on road. Most recently, I experienced a 3rd incident where while driving at approx 30 mph, all warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle lost power and was unable to accelerate. Pulled over and shut off car. And tried to restart. Engine started but was in 'limp' mode and had codes in computer. Had car towed to mechanic and they stated codes P0344, P0340 & B1A35 present. Advised that motor now has a knock in it and would need an entire replacement.
Every time I put my car in park and turn off car key wouldn't come out had to start it back up and turn back off sometimes it did sometimes it didn't know my battery is bad I blame the ignition for that just after I started to have problems with the ignition my battery keep dying I took it to get charged I was told it was good by auto parts tested and everything for free put it back in the car now its died again.
