Car continuously dies or stalls while driving. My wife has also been almost rear ended or hit multiple times due to this issue. Because the car will die while making a turn or at a stop light. The car will also cut out while driving on the freeway at 75 mph. The car will sometimes die and will not re-start leaving her stuck in traffic. I have taken the vehicle multiple times to the dealership as well as other mechanics and they keep telling me its the PCM which has been replace three times.

The engine dies 4 to 5 times on the road after filling up the tank, it happens if I take my foot off the gas pedal to slow down or to stop, it is stressful when you loos control of the car on the streets especially if you are turning on a corner. It started on July 1918 and it has happened for the 15 times that I had filled up the car with gas with no exceptions. I keep records of dates, my mileage and used gas.

After filling this vehicle with fuel as you drive down the road it will just stall in traffic. It takes quite a few tries to get it running again. Up to 10 times. This is very dangerous as this will happen in intersections or turning in traffic with no warning. It happens while in motion and when it shuts off there is limited steering and brakes.

Engine completely shut off as exiting freeway and was nearly hit by 2 cars. Managed to get home by driving streets and staying in righthand lane. Shut off twice but pulled to side of rode. It took approximately 4 seconds for ignition to engage. It is in garage and I am afraid for my life to drive it. I am [xxx] years old and will not give up on this because it is a danger to ones life. I went online to airpark Chrysler and texted with a nicole on February 15, 2019 and she said someone from in the service department would get back with me and no one has. Please help me with this dangerous problem. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Once the vehicle has a full tank of gas, it'll stall or shut off when driving. When stopped, it'll rev itself as well.

2006, Chrysler, 300C starboard fuel pump leaking from the plastic housing. I changed the O-ring and it still leaks gas. The gas puddles on top of the plastic gas pump housing. Fumes accumulate in the passenger area and outside near the bottom of the car. This happens when the gas tank is above 1/2 full. It doesn't matter if the car is driving, running or the engine off.

I filled my car up and within 5 miles it stalled. This has happened several times. Each time if I pull some fluid from the tank the car will remain running.

2006 Chrysler 300C dies several times after refueling, which obviously disables the power steering. This will happen up to 10 times and then the car will run properly until the next refueling. This has been going on for over 18 months.

Every time I fill up my gas tank my 2006 Chrysler 300C ends up turning off at any stop, red light, or when I am slowing down. I always end up stopping traffic because of it. The vehicle ends up turning back on after a few times of trying to turn it on. I have had people make scenes at my window due to this. I have read online blogs of Chrysler owners that have the same problem. They go to the dealer and replace the fuel tank. I have called auto parts stores and the fuel tank is pretty pricey.

Initially the vehicle began to shut off and restart at various speeds ranging from 45-65 mph, mileage on the vehicle when the problem surfaced was approx.138,000. In 2016 after replacement of the PCM, fuel tank, alternator, solenoid, battery, and cam shaft sensor the problem sporadically reoccurred every 300 miles, and failure has increased in frequency and now occurs regularly but sporadically at low speeds of 1-20 causing a full stall with no restart. The failure is typically at a light and when tempting aa turn. It has been observed during the high speed incidents, all electrical systems are in failure- dash lights go off, the analog RPM and speedometer gauges spontaneously drop to zero, and then the entire system restarts and gauges resume normal readings, all occurring within a few seconds at most. Additionally the vehicle will not start after sitting for 3 hours, the electrical works but engine will not turn over. After each incident car was taken for a diagnostic reading and either no fault code was registered, or an engine communication failure code occurs. This has been an on going issue for the past 2 years.

My srt8 will stall shortly after filling up with fuel. At the moment of stalling, obviously the power steering and power brakes fail to work, which is very dangerous irregardless of where you are....

On mulitple occasions over the last year and a half that I've owned the car it has stalled in traffic after filling up at the gas station, the most recent occasion being 2/11/17. On every occasion I have filled the tank (filling only until the pump clicks off), left the gas station parking lot and made it no more than 1/4 mile before the car stalls - typically it will lurch forward 1-2 times very hard, then stall - I turn the key off, then back on and the car will start without incident, however, the lurching and stalling will happen 1-2 more times before the car drives without any incident (until the next fill up). Only one time has the car stalled while in a stopped position (at a stop light), in all other instances the car was in motion on a city street (between 10-45mph) when the stalling has occured - on every occasion it has stalled more than 1 time (the most being 3).

When I fill my gas tank with fuel, for the first mile or so it keeps dying at slows to stops. Every stop or slow down for the first several minutes after fueling. It is a safety issue because it will die right in the middle of traffic or in a turn lane, and I am afraid I will be rear-ended. I have to put it into neutral or park to start it. Sometimes it takes 3 to 4 tries to get it to start when it has stalled like this. This happens every time I fuel up now. The first incident was in 2016.

Started experiencing problems last year. Car would cut off without warning, cut off while in a turn and I was almost hit by oncoming traffic. Took it to the dealer, dealer stated it was PCM. Had the control module fixed ($1000 repair) and now recently we have been experiencing an issue where the car wants to cut off at all speeds. Today, my husband drove it to the gas station and it cut off on him and then wouldn't start back up. It started up a few min after sitting but traffic was too busy so we were unable to drive it home. It is still parked at the gas station and we are hoping well be able to get it home before having to call a tow truck. Replaced spark plugs 1 1/2 weeks ago because we assumed it was misfiring (when it was wanting to cut off). We've changed the camshaft (prior to having the PCM replaced) and egr valve as well. There is no check engine light but have still attempted to get codes read... no codes. This seems to be an ongoing issue that Chrysler needs to take care of. I will never buy another car that Chrysler has had a hand in making..... how many complaints need to take place before you realize that this will kill someone... but I guess you'd rather a lawsuit on your hands for a death rather then fixing all these cars the right way. #unsatisfiedbuyer took a shot at this beautiful car and am sadly disappointed 2006 300C 5.7L hemi. Whats the point of having such a beautiful car if you can't even drive it.
