After you get gas in the car and drive away the car will stall and then you have to put it in park and restart your engine.this can be dangerous, especially if you are in moving traffic at the time.
After filling the fuel tank with gas and entering the freeway the car stalled. Every time I fill the car up with gas the fuel tank will just stall. I took the car to the dealer and was told that I would have to have the fuel tank and lines replaced. This is a serious safety hazard. When the car shuts off the steering wheel locks up and you must come to a complete stop before putting the car in park to restart it; all while trying not to be rear-ended by coming traffic. I continue to have the problem today. I took my car in for maintenance and was told that there's now a recall on the fuel tank, but due to the massive number of recalls, the part is on back-order.
Every time I fill up my Chrysler 300C it stalls out several times. The first few times this occurred I was almost killed in a wreck due to the fact it stalled in a major intersection. This is not safe and very frustrating. Chrysler is doing nothing to help. I read several complaints online and it just seems like a recall should be in affect. I trusted Chrysler when I purchased this vehicle to provide me with a quality product that they would stand behind but yet they won't. please help they victims of Chrysler.
After refueling, the car stalled while making a left hand turn onto a busy highway. All the engine lights came on. Car was hard to restart. At the next intersection while the car was stopped, it stalled again. This continued to happen intermittently over the years. Had it looked at by Chrysler while still under extended warranty, they said they could find nothing wrong. Lately, this has happened every time we put gas in the car. If driving on the expressway after a fill up, sometimes the car will sputter and temporarily loose acceleration.
When I started pulling out of the driveway it started to shutter badly and stalled out. It started back up but it immediately was running very rough as if it wasn't running on all cylinders. I took it to my mechanic where he put it on the scanner and a code came up stating that the #6 cylinder was faulty. When running the car has no power and you can hear a distinct clicking of the mds solenoid. As it click on and off the cars idle was normal then very rough. Service records are immaculate, oil changed every 3000 miles with mobil 5-20 full synthetic. Service suggestions have been strictly followed. The solenoid was changed out and it ran fine for about 500 miles and then it started doing it again, very random and mostly when you go into passing gear on the freeway that's when you totally lose power and it shutters violently. We cant find anything for suggestions on how to fix it except that it may be a bad computer or a clogged oil port in the cylinder head. Both possible solutions are very costly and I would hate to spend all that money and it not fix the issue. There is a serious issue because of the acceleration problem could very well cause a serious accident.

On April 9th at approximately 6:00 P.M. I filled my car with fuel until the pump shut off. After replacing the fuel lid I drove about 1/4 mile and stopped at a traffic light to make a left turn. Almost as soon as I stopped the engine started to run rough, as if it were running out of fuel and stopped. I placed the car in neutral, started the engine and drove another block before stopping at another traffic signal. Again, the engine sputtered and stopped. I got it started and reached park manor nursing home and shut the engine off while I went to visit. When I left the nursing home, I went down the driveway and about 1/8 mile to a 5 lane intersection that had a traffic signal. The engine sputtered and stopped again just as the light turned green. I had to quickly put the car in neutral to restart it then carefully let off the gas pedal enough to put the gear shift back in "D" and drive away. This was the first time I experienced any engine stops, but it seems to be pretty dangerous, since you cannot predict when it will happen and nothing seemed to trigger the faults. Each time the engine stopped, I noticed the oil pressure indicator was displayed and watched it rise to normal when the engine started again.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300C. The contact stated that while driving any speed or coming to a stop, the engine would stall in a jerking motion. The vehicle restarted and resumed normally. The failure recurred after the vehicle was refueled and most recently, the engine warning indicator remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer numerous times and they were unable to duplicate or locate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
2006 Chrysler 300C, 5.7L hemi engine, I had driven the vehicle approx, 25 miles with no problems. Stopped in a parking lot, went into the business. When I came out to start my engine, the car would not start. The engine would crank but not run. I called roadside service for help. They could not get the car to run. I had the car towed to a repair shop. The shop diagnosed the problem. The shop reported to me that 3 cylinders had no compression, the valves had dropped down into the motor, three spark plugs were crushed. I needed to replace the engine. I have done some research on this model engine, this problem has happened to other 5.7 hemi's. the valve retainers fail and let the valve drop and cause severe engine damage. This could have been avoided if I had been notified. There is a retro-fit available to change the valve retainers. I now have a current bill for the diagnosis, removal and install a used engine for $8,063.26. This charge can go up if the retro-fit has not been done yet. I am waiting to find out if the replacement used engine has been retro-fitted.
Driving home from work on interstate and the car lunged and then seemed to be fine, until getting off the interstate and stopping at the light it was very obvious it was missing out. It did not throw a engine code until pulling into driveway. I immediately did a scan and came up with a P1414 cylinder 4 reactivation control performance possible causes (K452) mds solenoid no.4 control short to voltage oil passages restricted lifter mds solenoid no.4 PCM we then took to dealership and they charged me a $125 to tell me what I already told them. And followed up with they wanted to charge me $600 to tear it down and inspect it further. So I did the tear down myself and there is nothing that can be found to explain why a car with only 92000 miles on it and 5-20 royal purple oil and K&N oil filter were changed on a religious bases, and clean coolant would cause a piston to basically destroy itself. The motor has to be replaced costing over $6000 almost more then car is worth running.
When filling the gas rank (no topping off) the motor would stall out, had car towed to service garage only to find the car would start. This has happened 2 times, after that it would occur at every fill, it has now gotten to the point where the car stalls out between 2 and 10 times, we don't dare go on the highway for at least 1/2 hour for fear of stalling in traffic! web search indicates this is a very common defect with this model, was told repair would require replacing the gas tank and fuel canister because fill pipe is too high on factory original tank? sounds like a defective factory part that needs dealing with for safety concerns, thank you much for your attention!

My Chrysler 300C hemi started idling rough and showing code P0300. Oil/plugs were changed, and my car worked well for ~500 miles. After which the low oil level light chimmed. After taking to the dealer the oil pressure switch was replaced and all was right. Close to a month later, while stopped at a rail crossing the car stalled with error code P1520. I checked the oil which was low and added to the correct level. In the oil, there was no discoloration or anything to cause alarm. I started the engine up and while the P1520 was gone I had the P0300. After removing the manifold small aluminum pieces where found inside. Plugs that were close to 4K miles old were ash covered and throttle body. Valves and cylinder #3 head need to be replaced.

In January 2013 I needed a jump due to the frigid temperature. Following the jump my engine light would blink on and off occasionally. When I went to the dealership for a routine oil change on February 17, 2014 I explained this to the technician who stated that there was nothing the dealership could do if the engine light was not on at that time. Two days later on February 19th, I called the dealership to confirm what the technical told me was correct. The service manager stated that the technician gave me the correct information and that when my engine light came back on to come back so that they could diagnose the problem at the time. I also informed him that my receipt stated that I declined repairs which I did not. He stated that the language on the receipt was for general repairs and that I did not have to worry about it. On March 1, 2014 my car was smoking profusely. Because the dealership was closed I had my car put on a diagnostic machine by another repair facility who stated that my engine was locked.
