After filling up the gas tank, and when leaving the gas station, as I'm slowing down to pull out into traffic the engine stalls. This only happens after a fill up of half a tank or more. Does not happen when I top off tank when I'm down to 3/4 tank. I get the car restarted and pull out but it feels like the engine is missing. When I start slowing down for a stop, the car will stall again. This happens anywhere from 2 to 4 times. The check engine light does not come on and there are no codes stored. The car has 155000 miles on it, and this started happing about a year ago. It only did it one time then maybe a month later it did it again. It wasn't doing all the time then but now it's getting to the point that it does it at every fill up. At first I thought maybe I got some bad gas, but I've read where other 300C owners are having the same problem. Chrysler knows about this and Chrysler should be fixing this problem free of charge.

Car stalls about 1 mile after filling up with gas. Has stalled going low and high speeds, leaving me with very little control of the vehicle.a mechanic recommended that I fill up before its under half full but that doesn't seem to help any. Now I fill up before I go into a nearby grocery store and afterwards I start the car a few times and it seems to prevent it from stalling. Last week my husband decided to drive it to work (long drive) and didn't take my advice during fill up and it stalled shortly after getting on the highway.

I purchased my Chrysler 300C on 1/8/2014. I left the dealership with an almost full tank of gas and experienced no problems until the next fill up. Right after filling up my gas tank, and making sure not to top it off as the manual suggests, I suddenly experienced the car jerking, almost like a down shift feeling, and then it stalled. I was just leaving the gas station. I drove another mile and then made a turn into my subdivision and it did it again. I immediately called the dealership and took it in to have them check it out. They supposedly hooked it up to the computer and said that nothing was detected. They asked if any lights came on and I told them only the oil light. They test drove it and said there was nothing wrong. The next couple of times I filled up I used a prepaid gas card which didn't totally fill up my tank so I didn't experience any problems. Today I filled my tank, this time my husband was in the car and as soon as we left the gas station the car started jerking, like a sudden downshift....finally, I had a witness! we drove about 5 miles to a car wash, and upon approaching the entrance it stalled again! I started the car again to enter the wash and once it was in neutral it stalled again. I am very nervous and scared to drive my car!!! why isn't there a recall to fix this problem?

After fueling vehicle (full tank) I drove about 1/4 mile from the gas station while turning the vehicle turned completely off while I was in a turn causing me drive up on a curb and almost striking a pedestrian. Took about 10 minutes to get my vehicle back started and about another 1/4 mile down the road it stalled again this time making me go through an intersection because the brake pedal got hard. I ended up getting it home and it sat over night. Next morning took it out, no problem except when I was leaving a store it stalled again. I thought it was a fuel issue, fuel pressure checked ok. I drained the gas in the tank and refueled from another station same problem. Seems to happen only when I completely fill up but not 100% of the time. No check engine light or body codes were detected on the car's computer.

My car started stalling in June 2013, approx. 86000 miles Chrysler service could not find any reason for it stalling. A friend suggested that I check the la times, only to find hundreds of complaints. It stalls after filling the gas tank. Is replacing the gas tank at my expense the only solution? where can I find the federal Office Of Defects Investigation results for the 300C complaints.

I had this happen several times after I would fill up with gas. At about 30mph or when I would come to a stop and then try to accellerate the car would stall and cut off. Would then try and restart the car after several attempts it would finially restart. Sometimes when I would reach speeds of 55mph it would cut off and I would have to steer with the best of my ability to pull to the side of the highway. Finially I just took it to the Chrysler dealer and had them put a new evap canister on it and new trottle something on it 600+ dollars.

The car will stall after a fillip, even when the tank is not over filled. This has placed me in several dangerous situations, where I am stranded on busy roads. This appears to be a know defect in many Chrysler cars and vans.

After fueling up my Chrysler 300C, my car stalled and completely shut down (approximately 2 miles after fill up). Luckily, I was in the parking lot of my work at the time, so I was only going 5-10 mph. Unfortunately, the power steering completely froze and I was unable to park the car, so the car was resting in the right-of-way of other cars driving in the lot. Also, I came two inches from hitting a tree since I could not steer the car away from any objects in my path. Thank goodness the breaks still worked. I was unable to restart the car for a few minutes. After approx. 10 minutes of resting the car in the middle of the parking lot, the car restarted with a "pop" noise. Once we got the car started, I was able to park it in a safe spot. I am now afraid to drive my car, especially in traffic or on the freeway at higher rates of speed. I am a single mom with two young kids and it really has me freaked out to think that we could be involved in an accident should this happen again. Obviously, the safety of my children, myself and any other innocent person on the road has me concerned. I'm the original owner, and I never topped off the tank. Please recall the fuel tank on these cars as they are not safe. Also, please include the 2005 year in your investigation.

After refueling the car stalls. It takes about 3 or 4 minutes, so by that time I was on the highway. Very scary and dangerous in traffic.

I filled up my gas tank as always, started my car and immediately while pulling away it stalled than died. I started it again and made it into the intersection and it stalled and died again. This continued to happen while in traffic about 10 miles. I called Chrysler and they did not know what was wrong. I took it to get checked out and no one could give me any understanding of this problem. I went on line and come to realize that this is a big problem with many other Chrysler owners and there has been no recall nor help. I learned that others stopped filling their car up and that seemed to keep it from stalling. This has been going on now for about 6 months and I worry all the time for my families safety. Some have changed the gas tank however this has been unsuccessful in fixing this problem. Chrysler needs to take responsibility and do the right thing.

After refueling and leaving fueling location; engine stalled. Would restart and could drive short distance and dies again. It does this 3/8 times and then begins to run normally until next fuel up. (last 3 fuelups, so far) I don't top off and I always make sure the gas cap is tight. Took it into dealer on November 13 to review the issue. Got a call back that they could not find a "code" issue in fuel but wanted to check out the torque management. I lost all confidence in their ability to identify the problem and asked to get the car back. The most common thread online seems to be a problem with evaporation system. Not sure how to check it out. My wife is now afraid to drive the car as it has now stalled several times in traffic. Not sure what to do next----

The vehicle will stall out several times after filling the tank with gas and it only stalls out after filling the tank. Vehicle will stall when stopped or when the RPM is low. The problem is the vapor/liquid separator valve located at the top of the fuel tank. The valve is designed to prevent liquid fuel from entering the charcoal canister/emissions system. When the valve fails, liquid gas can enter the line and fill the charcoal canister. After refueling the PCM on the vehicle detects a change in fuel level. Then, when the engine meets certain temperature and driving criteria, the PCM issues a purge command to the charcoal canister to remove the stored gas vapors. It's at that point that all the liquid gas in the line gets sucked into the charcoal canister. The PCM expects to see gas vapors entering the intake manifold and it is prepared to adjust air/fuel mixtures to compensate. However, it is not prepared to see liquid gas coming into the intake. That's what causes the engine to stall. This can be a very dangerous situation with the vehicle on the road in traffic. I've read in multiple online forums this same situation is happening to many on the Chrysler 300C early year models. Hopefully a recall will be created to resolve this situation.

After filling my car at a service station until the first time the fuel pump clicked off I attempted to leave the service station and after driving approximately one mile my car stalled in traffic and would not start for about 3 to 4 attempts. If traffic would have been heavier there would have been an accident as I lost total control of the car from steering to braking when the engine shut-off. After running rough for several miles and several more stalls the problem fixed itself. This now occurs after everytime I service my car with fuel and has become a ritual unless I take the time to calculate the estimated fuel remaining in the tank and subtract it from the total capacity then only add enough fuel to take me up to two gallons from full. Didn't realize I needed to be a math wizard to own a Chrysler 300C. Now that I know this is a repeatable problem I must tell anyone who I loan my car to or they could face a potential accident since this has not been publicly acknowledged by Chrysler as a recurring and predictable problem. It should be noted that I have been the only owner of this car bought new in May 2004 and it has been maintained to manufacturer's specifications.

After filling the car up with gas the car stalled several times. I had to crank the car and quickly start driving to keep it from stalling. I then proceeded to drive the car 70 miles without stopping and not having any issues. This could have been very dangerous if I was driving the car in a high traffic (stop and go) area!!

- Grover, NC, USA

After filling up at the gas station the car stalled 3-4 times before beginning to surge. After several minutes of stalling/surging, it was fine. It does it every time the car is filled now.

- Fort Rucker, AL, USA

After fueling vehicle it starts then cuts off immediately it has happened several times if it don't cutoff right away it stalls soon as im driving off this is not safe wish NHTSA would start recalls before someone is injured or lose their life obviously this is a manufactures defect my car is at repair shop now needing new fuel tank and evap cannister cost 1000-2000 dollars there is no way I should be paying for a manufactures defect was told vehicle is getting raw fuel in evap cannister there has been far too many complaints for coincidence im asking the NHTSA to do their job before itcost someone their life.

After fueling the car, it stalled unexpectedly. This was about 30,000 miles ago. The problem has gotten more frequent. Now, at 137,000 miles, the car always stalls or tries to stall after fueling. I have adapted to the problem by always fueling up at a station that is adjacent to an onramp. I get the car onto the freeway right away and run it at 65 or so mph.... to fast for the car to stall. It just runs rough for a few seconds every few minutes for 5 or 10 minutes, then runs fine. It is probably unwise to put a car on the road with a known stall problem, but I could say the same thing about the people at Chrysler.

- Encinitas, CA, USA

This has happen at every fill-up. I've own my Chrysler 300C since May 2004 (one of the first to purchase) and this problem has been present since 2008. I have to estimate the amount of fuel to put in the tank at every fill-up. If not, the car will stalled until the excess fuel is burn off or you have to drive on road without lights until the fuel gauge goes a little below the full marker. This problem should be fixed before someone gets killed.

- White Plains, MD, USA

Came from the gas station and filled up gas. After 3 blocks from the station, the car stalls while I was making a turn: No power steering and power brakes. I muscled the car to make the turn and nearly hit incoming traffic but came to a full stop. Engine light on but not the check-engine light. Started and proceeded slowly. After a few blocks, the same thing happened when I reached an intersection and came to an idle. I pulled the car to the curb and restarted the car. I was worried that it would stall again so whenever I reached an idle/stop light or sign, I deliberately pressed down on the gas at neutral. This was a very scary and dangerous event, needless to say.

Car stalls after fueling. The car will die and be very hard to to steer, break and control. This now happens every time I fuel up. I never top off, and stop fueling once the pump auto stops. I have called Chrysler and they are not willing to do anything for me. Case #[xxx]. I have read several reports that there have been over 200,000 complaints about the same problem. This is a serious safety concern. This happened to me and I sideswiped the side of a guardrail. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
