When the fuel tank is topped off the vehicle stalls 2-6 times until the excess fuel is burned off. This has happened on the road, in parking lots, intersections, etc. It causes total loss of power & power steering. Additionally, I usually have to shift to Park, Neutral, Reverse, Drive, Reverse, and then drive again in order to get the transmission to lock back in forward gearing. Causing me to have to additionally pull over, or stop, when/wherever the incident occurs.

Every time I fill my gas tank up the car oil light comes on and it stalls. Sometimes it does this 2 or 3 times then it runs ok until its time to fill car up again, then the same thing happens.

The main grounding wire passenger-side engine block contact point had corrosion(rust) limiting electrical current flow to the wiring harness. This caused too much current to flow to 2 smaller 16 gauge grounding wires attached to the rear of each hemi cylinder head to fry. This directly affects the ccn bus communications to the cpu. Any device, module, or sensor attached to the ccn bus can have intermittent behavior. Examples of very bad behavior in my car: 1. the alarm randomly going off while parked or when driving the car. 2. while parked and the alarm set the sunroof decided to open up during a rainstorm filling my car with 3 inches of rain. 3. the 300C doesn't use a throttle cable. It utilizes a throttle position sensor that communicates with the cpu over the ccn bus. Just touching the gas pedal was the same as pressing the gas pedal to the floor. It's a good thing that when this happened to me there was no traffic on the road and I was close to home. Since this is ccn 2-wire twisted pair bus communication issue anything that communicates with the cpu can have a random intermittent problem. Since these cars are getting older I have to think that there are other cars that are or will have similar issues. Pray to god that your throttle doesn't stick wide open like mine did. I had to keep my foot buried on the brake while I was screaming down the road until I was able to turn off the ignition. Have fun coming to a stop or driving home after that happens. Formally I was an I2C bus communications(2 wire bus) expert at both intel Corp and cisco systems. I know what I am talking about. Today I talked with a bremerton Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep technical service representative about this issue. Bottom-line over $3000 to fix. There may have been somebody somewhere that is dead because of this factory defect and no one is the wiser. Why not a factory recall issue?

Whenever I do a quick acceleration, my check engine light comes on and the car temporarily lose power. When the car lose power, I cannot control it, which is very dangerous. When the check engine light comes on no codes are stored. Also, I have experience this problem while sitting at a red light. For the most part, this problem mostly occur during acceleration. I have had the spark plugs replaced and throttle body cleaned but the problem presist. From my research, this problem appears to be regular throughout the Chrysler/Dodge family. This problem needs to be rectified before someone lose their life in an unnecessary accident.

I was going to check the oil level when the top of the dipstick came off in my hand. It is made of plastic.; I was opening the drivers door, the handle came halfway off, subsequently all handles have done the same thing. The washer fluid does not spray. These problems all happened in the past 3 or 4 years. The vehicle was stationary for these problems. While turning, the steering wheel would not continue too turn, heard a " thunk", finally turned but the turn signal mechanism does not work now.

The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. Failure codes appeared after the vehicle was retrieved. Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat of Santa Fe (4470 cerrillos rd, Santa Fe, nm 87507, (505) 629-0746) stated that there appeared to be an electrical failure and were checking all the wiring on the harness with multiple codes appearing. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 81,000. The VIN was unknown.

A couple months back the engine shut down going down the road, computer checked showing the heat sensor went bad, had it replaced and also installed a new thermostat just in case. Yesterday 12/6 2018 took the car out and went to the outlets roughly 25 miles away car ran great. Stop for gas on the way back a mile from home, left the station went a 1/4 mile the car shut down again, started right back up went another 1/2 mile and it shut down again, started right back up and went 1/4 mile to the house. Had my son in law who is a mechanic do a computer check and nothing shows up. Car has 38777 miles on it and garage kept, little dangerous since U loose the steering and brakes when it shuts down, fortunately for me I had a place to pull over to get off the highway. Checking with the dealership tomorrow to see if others had this problem. Had a very similar problem with my chryler crossfire years back where the car would not accelerate had some close calls at stop signs had to replace the complete acceleration unite had less than 4000 miles on the car but the car was out of warranty cost me over $300 but the engine didn't shut down like this one.was on a town street when it shut off

My car stalls while driving periodically stalls when the car is at idle. It even stallls going down the highway at speeds 65. We have changed everything possible except the engine. The car starts right up after stall but will stall in traffic. I have looked at many forums and they all say the same thing numerous complaints of car shutting off while driving. I have checked all recalls. This is a major safety concern. This happens everyday.

My Chrysler 300C has 114,805 miles on it. I drove it to the gas station before going home. Filled it up with gas. Went to start it up and it wouldn't. I had to have it towed to the shop. The outside temperature last night was 63. The engine temperature was normal. There were no warning signs. The car drove fine all the way from my office to the gas station which is 33 miles. Mechanic says the valve seat has dropped and the engine is completely ruined now. I now have to pay almost $7,000 to get my car driveable again.

Oil light came on at slow speed and engine shut off by it self, on a city street. Why?

- Saint John, WA, USA

The cylinder valve seat fell off the cylinder head, then fell down into the piston causing damage to the valves and piston thus the only repair possible is to replace the engine. Not sure when this happened because there were no warning signs.

This car will stall at completely random intervals. It has done it at speed, on acceleration, on deceleration, at stops. Occasionally the cruise control will not function correctly. The car will also spit, sputter and buck at speeds above 35mph. When this happens, there is a total loss of power steering, brakes, etc. In order to restart the car, it requires being placed into neutral or park, and trying at least 3 times before engine will run again. The car will usually continue to stall 3-10 times. On returning to "drive" the car will usually stay stationary for another 5-10 seconds before surging forward. Reverse does not have this effect. Car has been checked by several mechanics, who can pull no codes, and don't seem to have any clue what is causing the intermittent issue. It is very dangerous situation, as there is no warning the car is about to stall, and there is no pattern to when it will stall. In googling the issue, I was able to find the Chrysler campaign X53 extended warranty on "some" 2006 300cs, but when I called the Chrysler dealer to check my VIN, I was told my car is not covered under this known defective gas tank. The message boards have many instances of people describing this exact issue for this exact car. This a seriously life threatening issue.

Whenever I fill up at the gas station about 2-3 minutes later while I'm driving the entire dash board will light up and the car will cut completely off. I have to put in in park and try to restart it about 5 times, each time the oil light comes on and it just stalls, once it does catch the speed fluctuates up and down but about 5 minutes later it happens all over again. I know it has nothing to do with the oil because I had gotten an oil change before I put the gas in the car. This had happened a couple of years ago so I had just stopped filling the car up and this time I forgot. The car cuts off while in motion, you can't turn the steering wheel, it just stops where ever you are, all I could do was cut on the hazards and keep trying to restart it, it sounds like you are trying to restart while it's already on, it makes a screeching sound, and sounds like it's trying to catch.

Normal day driving my vehicle. Drove approximately 24 miles to a shopping center in the city. Turned the ignition car started as expected. Car then died unexpectedly. Attempted to get it started to no avail. Called a tow truck and had the vehicle taken to a trusted ase certified mechanic a couple miles away. Get a call later stating the engine is damaged! mechanic stated that these cars are well known for dropping valves. I proceed to ask what's the damage" these words I would learn to regret... I was given a quote of $4000-$7000 depending on how many parts were affected by this one failed piece. Thousands of people in forums are having this issue also. How is it a company doesn't acknowledge a major problem like this and get away with it" I was forced to get a $6000 loan to fix a car with 101K... yea 1,000 miles over warranty! Chrysler needs to own up to this problem.

Takata recall, so I take care of my Chrysler 300C 5.7 very well I always check the fluids on the coolent and oil and change my oil when its needed. I was running out of gas on the freeway barely making it to the gas station and I filled up my gas tank, when I tried to starting my car it didnt start. My car just hesitated and I thought my battery was going out but it was a brand new one and my fuel pump was changed a few months prior. Also I took my car to get serviced a week prior too at my local pepboys and changed the oil pressure sensor at least thats what they told me what it was. So my car started in the gas station parkinglot and white smoke came out of my exhaust and my car just turned off on me. My car is sitting now collecting dust because it dropped a valve due to the 2005 5.7 hemi design. I believe Dodge and Chrysler know about this malfunction thats bond to happen whether you take care of your engine or not. I deserve to have a recall on my car, im almost done paying it off and its not my fault this happened to me.

Dropped intake valve seats on this hemi engine. Based on my research, this is a known problem on the hemi engines from this time period. Stopped at the store for 20 minutes, came out and tried to start the engine and all I heard was metal on metal as the engine tried to turn over. Engine needs to be rebuilt or need to buy another rebuilt engine.

Car dies after fueling. It will sputter then die, it will also die while coming to a stop. After refueling it sputters and dies at gas station but it can happen within the next couple of miles. It will die while pulling out in traffic and extremely dangerous. Reading on line this is a common problem and no one can figure it out. It also will not always go back into gear after it dies.

Every time I completely fill my tank my car will occasionally stall at traffic lights or driving. After a few times restarting the engine it will be fine until I fill the tank again. It seems to happen mostly when the tank goes below 1 quarter of the tank. I have seen complaints before from other makes about a fuel float valve in the tank that can send a signal to your computer that the tank is empty and shut the engine off. Why is this not a recall for this model? there is definitely a danger in traffic situations.
