| Recently purchased 2005 chrysler 300c thought i was getting great deal only had 47700 miles on it. first fill up it stalled immediately after and did so several times. i tried reving up the engine while in neutral but as soon as i drove off it stalled again. i was so afraid someone was going to hit me from behind until i could get into to turning lane. it seemed to work, well didn't stall out, when i would accelerate when it seemed as if it was going to go dead. i took it back the the dealership they said was a vent in fuel tank that was clogged, only fix to replace which they are not wanting to do and i have only have the car 1 week. | |||

| After filling car with gasoline, car begins to stall and shut off. the car will start up again, but shuts off frequently until the gasoline burns. then it ride normally. this has happened several times. i just do not fill the car anymore. this is dangerous because it's so unexpected. it happens in the middle of traffic without warning. *tr | |||

| 2005 chrysler 300c died in traffic shortly after filling fuel tank full of gasoline. the vehicle was restarted and died three more times in traffic before running fine. my concern is that this is an accident waiting to happen. online research showed this is a common occurrence in this vehicle after filling fuel tank to full. apparently raw gasoline (rather than vapors) gets into the evaporative system and enters the engine, creating a rich fuel situation and the stalling. this is a very serious situation and should be investigated further. thank you. *tr | |||

| Engine stalled at slow speed immediately after filling up with gas. engine was somewhat difficult to restart because it was flooded. engine stalling happened at least five times before enough gas was burned off to prevent the condition. numerous reports on the internet indicate this is a common problem and happens when raw fuel from the evaporative system is ingested through the throttle body. the evaporative system should only convey fumes but a failure allows it to carry raw fuel to the throttle body. this condition has the potential to be very dangerous. given the number of complaints a safety recall should be instigated to ensure that raw fuel can never reach the throttle body via the evaporative system. *tr | |||

| Just feuled the car and leaving the service station and the car stalled. vehicle kept stalling as i attempted to drive it and shut off in the middle of traffic. had to be towed. also, each time i have filled the car up since, the same thing happens. the car sputters, shuts down. once restarted i have to rev the gas and blow the engine for several minutes to get the gas flowing in a manner to drive the vehicle. | |||
