“In the begining my car stall after filling the tank up with gas. It would stall at low idle like for instance when I come to a stop. But it also have done it when I've been on the highway when I release the gas pedal which is very dangerous to me and everyone around me. Especially on a major city highway like atlanta. I;ve been trying to get this resolve since early last year.”

“The car stalled in the middle of the freeway while driving at 65mph!! It is a miracle no other car crashed into us and killed us. It also stalls on the streets and after filling it up with gas. Sometimes it starts up again and sometimes it doesn't. The car is a safety hazard to my son and me!! It is a 2005 Chrysler 300 2.7l.”

“After refueling, the car started and then died. I restarted and then pulled away. It died again at the two following stops. It then died while driving down a hill at 15 MPH. All of this occurred within 2 miles of refueling. The vehicle restarted following each event. After parking the car for several hours the problem was gone. A similar episode happened the next time I refueled as well.”

“I was driving slowly, under 10 miles per hour, when it just up and died on me. Tried to restart, but would not. Let it sit for 5 minutes, pushed the gas pedal and held it half way down and vehicle started. But would not idle. Tried to hold pedal and put it in drive.to limp it home, but died when engaging drive. Long story short, it wont start or run unless you give it gas, will not idle in park, neutral, reverse or drive, and there have been hundreds of complaints for this. …”
