2005 Chrysler 300 Fuel System Problems

Hello, I am worried about the problem that persists for more than 5 years that the car is in my possession, my 2005 Chrysler 300c, it is always the same problem when I fill the fuel tank, the car does not want to start, I have to wait at least 10 minutes at the pump trying several times to start it again, this occurs at an intersection, at a traffic light, and even while in traffic, endangering my life and the lives of other drivers, please I need help!!!!

Hello, my name is [XXX] , and my car continues to have the same problem for more than 5 years that it has been in my possession, after refilling the car completely with fuel, the car automatically turns off and this happens at a traffic light or anywhere, this is very dangerous since I interfere with traffic, please I do not know what to do to solve it, in many forums there are many 2005 Chrysler vehicles that have the same problem from the factory, please I need help.

The fuel tank gasket failed. When fuel car to full the gas seeps out and puddles on top of access area under rear passenger seats and fills car with gas fumes. Only seeps out when you fill car to full

Strong fuel smell in cabin and outside of car when gas tank is full. Discovered gas in the cabin sitting on top of the fuel tank under the passenger-rear seat. Multiple posts in online forums confirm this is a known issue. Vehicle owner ordered a new o-ring to attempt repair. Area around fuel pump under driver's-rear seat was not affected. No warning lights, notices or performance issues. Only indication is strong gas fumes in car after filling up the gas tank (auto shutoff at pump, not topped off) which persists for several days. Problem seems minimized if gas tank is shorted 2-3 gallons from max capacity on fillup (about 14 gallons when car is close to empty per the gas gauge in dashboard.) Car was not inspected by dealer, insurance agent, police, independent service center, or anyone else other than owner.

Car keeps stalling after I fill it up while driving and sometimes while in park

ENGINE STALLS AFTER FUELING TANK. THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER. SPENT MONTHS AND LOTS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX PROBLEM. DID RESEARCH ON INTERNET AND FOUND CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED BULLETIN 14-002-14 SHOWING THERE A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSER 2005 AND 2006 300'S STALLING. THE FUEL PUMP IS IN THE TANK AND NOT MONITORED BY ENGINE COMPUTER. THE FUEL PUMP HAD GONE BAD CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT THE BULLETIN DID NOT COVER MY MODEL. CAN NOT USE CAR NOW BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NEED HELP ON THIS ISSUE.

Gas tank hairline crack on fuel pump and bad gaskets.

Our 2005 Chrysler 300 stalls and will not restart for many minutes after we refuel it. Chrysler stated they have extended the warranty to a life time coverage if you are experiencing this issue you are able to get it covered under said warranty. We have contacted them and they state this one is not covered. How can we go about getting this covered. It obviously has the issue they have recalled and should be covered!! Thank you, Shannon Hainzlsperger

AFTER I REFUEL MY CAR, IT ALWAYS SMELLS LIKE GAS INSIDE THE CAB. I RECENTLY LOOKED TO SEE WHERE IT IS COMING FROM, AND FOUND IT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK SEAT. THE TRANSFER PUMP HAS A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE BACK SIDE OF IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

WHEN REFUELING MY CHRYSLER 300C BACK TO FULL CAPACITY IT WILL IMMEDIATELY STALL OUT AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE CAR WILL START RIGHT UP AGAIN NO PROBLEM, AND CONTINUE TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC MULTIPLE TIMES FOLLOWING UNTIL IT BURNS OFF ENOUGH FUEL TO STOP. I ALSO HAVE BEEN SMELLING RAW GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM VARIES. THE ODOR IS HIGHLY POTENT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR. NEVER WITNESSED ANY FLUID LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE CAR OR NOTICEABLY IN FUEL TANK GAUGE UNTIL THIS MORNING, IT WAS LEAKING OUT FROM THE TRIM PANEL UNDERNEATH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE .

EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH GAS, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT NO MATTER WHERE IT IS BEING DRIVEN. HYW OR STREET/CITY ROAD.

GAS TANK LEAKS. NO HOLES, CAR STALLS LOSES GAS TANK LEAKS CONTUINLY WAS CHECKED FOR HOLES NONE WE COULD SEE. SMELLS LIKE GAS ALL THE TIME. CAR HAS 101.000. MILES

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.

GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE CABIN TRACED TO THE GAS PUMP/SENDING UNIT LOCATED BELOW THE FLOOR MAT DIRECTLY BENEATH THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE SEAT. A 1/2" DEEP PUDDLE OF GAS FORMS AT THE REAR OF THE UNIT WHICH REAPPEARS AFTER BEING SOAKED UP.

My 2005 Chrysler 300 has been having an issue with the fuel tank. When you get fuel in it then it won’t stay started. It keeps stalling out repeatedly. It also stalls out randomly under 25mph. Both are dangerous as it may cause you to get T-boned leaving gas station as it repeatedly stalls. Also it stalled out on the freeway on-ramp under 25mph. This is also dangerous as you lose your steering at the same time. Someone could have been injured or killed. And Chrysler needs to take this more seriously than they did just with the 2005 300c. It’s happening to more models of that year as well. Their offered remedy was telling me not to fuel it all the way up anymore past 3/4 of a tank. A dealership confirmed it needs a full fuel tank replacement and has had it since Memorial Day. They still have it currently. Chrysler told me and the dealership I’m on my own after treating me horribly most of the time on the phone calls with customer care center as I was jumping through hoops for them over and over for around 2 months. Whenever I get someone kind and helpful they won’t let me speak to them again. I have this all written down. And will get the estimate when I get my car back. But I don’t have $2800 ($2000 alone is just the fuel tank) to fix this on my own. Especially not when there is a known issue. Fuel tanks just don’t break and need full replacement as a common issue in vehicles. But Chrysler says my vehicle is too old. Which they knew the year of my vehicle when I called in the first place. And they know there is a known issue which is why they have lifetime fuel tank replacements on others of the same year. It’s too bad they weren’t pushed to do a total recall rather than just a safety bulletin. It left the rest of us that end up having issues with the fuel tanks in danger. It’s not just coincidental. It’s been acting up for awhile and I couldn’t find anyone that had ever heard of this until the Chrysler forums. It got worse in 2020 to present. Thank you.

TAKATA RECALL . MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS EVERY TIME I FILLED UP THE TANK.TIME PAST TILL I DECIDED TO TAKE A LOOK WHY IT SMELLED LIKE GAS.FURST THING TO CHECK WAS THE FUEL PUPMS.FINDING THST THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD A BUDLE OF GAS ONTOP OF THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING .I REPLACED THE RUBBER GASKET BUT THAT DIDNT HELP AT ALL .SO NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE FUER PUMP BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE A CRACK SOMEWHERE .

STALLS AFTER GETTING FUEL BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION 109000 MILES

THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM EVERY TIME ITS TIME TO FILL GAS TANK CAR IS RUNNING FINE ONCE I'M DONE WITH THE FILLING UP AND I AM LEAVING THE GASOLINE STATION THE CAR STALLS WITH NO WARNING OR ANYTHING IT HAS HAPPEN EVERY TIME I FUEL UP ONE TIME I CAME TO A RED LIGHT WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO ON GREEN IT SHUT OFF ON ME AND DID NOT WANT TO TURN ON AFTER LIKE THE 5TH TRY. I HAVE TRIED CALLING CHRYSLER DEALERS BUT SAID MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL CARS.

VEHICLE STALLS EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. STALLS WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY OR AT IDLE WHEN TURNING EX. WHEN TURNING AT INTERSECTION OR TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR CAN SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE CAN SOMETIMES BE TURNED ON RIGHT AFTER IT HAS SHUT OFF OR CAN TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO CRANK UP. 10 MINUTES IN A BUSY INTERSECTION IS A LONG TIME WAITING FOR A VEHICLE TO CRANK UP.

ON MY CAR WHEN THE GAS TANK IS AUTO FILLED ALL THE WAY, UNTIL IT CLICKS, THEN IT STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND IS VERY HARD TO RESTART SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE YOU CAN ATTEMPT TO RESTART.THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO ROUTE 29, WITHIN MINUTES OF HAVING LEFT THE GAS STATION, AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING ANY MORE. I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHEN COASTING IT PARTLY OFF THE ROAD. SINCE THEN, I HAVE LEARNED, AS LONG AS I DON'T FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY FULL THE STALL OUTS DON'T HAPPEN.
