“My vehicle stalled while traveling on highway after filling fuel tank. This problem has happened at least 3 times in the past and is very dangerous. Thank god it was a sunday afternoon and traffic was light. I have read on line this is a familiar issue. Why isn't anything being done about this???”
NHTSA complaint #10550327, filed 2013-10, 89,300 miles“My car stalled on a stop light twice last november 2014 and january 25, 2015 after I fill up my car. I turned off the car and then turned on the car again and it drove. For now it is working but I'm afraid it will stalled again while on the road.”
NHTSA complaint #10679684, filed 2015-01, 79,000 miles“After refilling the gas tank of my 2006 300c Chrysler, it stumbles as though it is no longer getting enough fuel. There is a definite and serious loss of power, with concern for our safety as we exit the gas station and reenter traffic. There is a sense that the engine is struggling and would stall. The loss of power repeats several more times as we drive further from the gas station. This problem has presented itself almost every time we refuel and is cause for real concern for our safety. …”
NHTSA complaint #10514464, filed 2013-05, 102,000 miles“I was driving to a traffic light immediately after filling the gas tank when the car suddenly stalled. There was loss of steering control. I put the gear in pack and restarted the car which it did successfully but stalled soon after and again restarted successfully. The car ran perfectly till I refilled the tank four days later and had similar occurrence. It happened about a week later, again after another refill. I took the car to the dealer who inspected it and determined there was nothing wrong. …”
NHTSA complaint #10556744, filed 2013-12, 137,000 miles“For the 5th time in 12 months, my 2006 Chrysler 300c stalled after filling up at a gas station, nearly causing an accident. I previously brought it to a mechanic who did a tune up, new spark plugs, and even replaced valve lifters to try to resolve this issue, to no avail. I finally did a google search and see that many other people have this problem. It is ridiculous to me that this has not been a recall, as it is very dangerous to stall when pulling out into traffic after filling up the tank with gas.”
