2007 Chrysler 300 Fuel System Problems

Fuel fumes odor inside car and garage, checked car for leaks and found upper fuel pump mount plastic housing hairline cracked leaking fuel.

CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, TURNED BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES,GAS CAP LIGHT CAME ON, WENT TO AUTOZONE TO RUN SCANNER AND GOT CODE P0440, CHECKED ALL EVAP COMPONENTS AND LINES AND NOTICED SOMETHING LOOSE ON TOP OF FUEL TANK, ROLLOVER VALVE POPPED OFF AND THERE WAS FUEL ALL AROUND IT... I'M LUCKY THERE WERE NO SPARKS FROM ANYTHING,HAD A FULL TANK!

CAR DIES RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, IDLING AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP, OR STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STALLED. LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY PART THAT IS MOLDED INTO THE 19 GALLON FUEL TANK BUT SAID MY CAR WASN'T COVERED. MY MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THE "ROLLOVER" VALVE IN THE TANK WAS INDEED FAULTY. HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER TWICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE FLATLY REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH THEY AGREED THAT MY CAR HAS A 19 GALLON TANK. I KNOW THAT CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE OVER 150K OF THESE FAULTY TANKS. MINE IS FAULTY ALSO BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR FOR NOW OUT OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY.

VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING AND WILE COMING TO A STOP IN TOWN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NO CODES - TOOK IT IN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED A BAD FUEL TANK. THE INLET FLAPPER ON THE FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE ALLOWING FUEL TO OVERFLOW THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2005-2006 MODELS THAT NOW COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON FUEL TANKS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME TO REPLACE IT OR CONSUME SOME OF THE COSTS, AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS DIES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OVER 10 TIMES AND WONT ALWAYS RE-START. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 5-10 MINUTES, AND OTHER TIMES IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND THE CAR STALLED OUT AND I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT OF ME. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ISSUED TO 2005/2006 MODELS.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY FUEL TANK OR EVEN PUT MAYBE ABOUT $30 WORTH OF FUEL IN MY CAR IT RANDOMLY STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS BEEN DANGEROUS. IN INTERSECTIONS, AFTER GETTING OFF A HIGHWAY AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR FOR SEVERAL REPAIRS. I NOW HAVE A NEW BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR. THE DEALER CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME TO FIX THIS IT WILL BE $1100 OR MORE AND THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE IN THE ENGINE. SOUNDS LIKE A TRACTOR. *TR

JUST FILLED UP WITH PREMIUM 93 GAS. WAS HEADING TO WORK & STOPPED AT A LIGHT. CAR IDLE BECAME ROUGH. RPM'S DROPPED & THE CAR STALLED. IT TOOK 2 TRIES TO RESTART IT WHILE I WAS SITTING AT THE LIGHT WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND & IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE STARTED IT RAN FINE. NO OBD2 CODES COULD BE FOUND. IT HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. BRAND OF GAS DOESN'T MATTER. *TR

MY CAR CUTS OFF VERY FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW. WE READ THAT IT COULD BE THE FUEL SENSOR BUT I CAN HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS OR HALF TANK AND IT STILL CUTS OFF. IT HAS CUT OFF AT THE RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT WHILE CROSSING THE INTERSECTION, GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY ETC. WE HAVE BROUGHT IN TO PLACES BUT THEY CANNOT FIND WHAT'S CAUSING IT TO SHUT OFF. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT FROM DRIVE TIME AND IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO WE ASKED DRIVE TIME TO ALLOW US TO BRING IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BUT THEY REFUSED AND SAID THEIR SHOPS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. WE KNOW THAT THE FEDS ARE INVESTIGATING CHRYSLER FOR ENGINE STALLING BUT WE HAVE YET TO HAVE HELP WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I FEAR FOR OUT OR ANYONE LIFE WHO ARE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH US. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS MATTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT ENGINE STARTUP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000. UPDATED 02/22/12 *BF THE CONSUYMER STATED THE DEALER WANTED THO CHARGE $1100 TO REPLACE THE TANK. THE CONSUMER WENT TO A LOCAAL MECHANIC INSTEAD, WHERE THE TANK WAS REPLACED FOR $500. UPDATED 03/01/12

I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON I-95 AT 70 MPH IN SOUTH CAROLINA. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND OVER 100 MILES TO EMPTY. THE OBD LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN (5-10 MPH). I WAS ABLE TO ROLL IT OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. GAS GAUGE INDICATED A 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND SAT FOR15 MINUTES. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT ACTED AS THOUGH IT HAD NO GAS. HOWEVER, THE GAUGE SHOWED A 1/4 TANK FULL. VEHICLE WAS TOWED (AAA) TO AN EXXON STATION IN GABLE, SC. FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE TANK AND THE CAR COULD BE STARTED. THE ADDITION OF $25.00 OF FUEL (6 GALLONS?) DID NOT MOVE THE GAUGE FROM THE 1/4 TANK LEVEL. AN ADDITIONAL $25 FUELING BROUGHT THE GAUGE ALMOST UP TO FULL. I DROVE IT ROUGHLY 500 MILES FROM SC TO MD WITHOUT INCIDENT. HOWEVER, I DID NOT ALLOW FUEL LEVEL TO DROP BELOW 1/2.

2007 CHRYSLER 300 WITH 43,684. PROBLEM FUEL CAP LEAKING. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP GALENA CHRYSLER WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPAIR. CALL CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS(REF# 19582516) SAID NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT TO GALENA CHRYSLER IN FORT MYERS FL. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ONE YEAR AGO TO THE DAY, SAME DEALERSHIP, SAID NOTHING WRONG. I THINK FUEL AND VAPORS HAVE BEEN LEAKING FOR OVER A YEAR WITH THIS CAR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. I KNOW IT MUST BE A PROBLEM, BECAUSE NO ONE FROM CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS CALLED ME BACK OR EMAIL. AFTER 4 DAYS IN THE SHOP I JUST HAD TO PAY FOR IT. NO MATTER HOW OLD THE CAR SAFETY PROBLEMS MUST BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HOW ME PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE UNTIL WE ADDRESS THE PROBLEM? *TR
