“2006 Chrysler 300 Touring 3.5L V6 engine. Car has intermittent stall at slow speeds or at complete stop. Sometimes feels like it stumbles, other times it dies suddenly and unable to tell the engine shut down. I have to put car in park and completely switch the ignition fully off and turn back on to start position. When it stalls while rolling, I have to brake and bring car to full stop, with no power steering, and go through the same start procedure. No trouble codes are generated, and no check engine light indicator illuminated. Car usually starts right up, but sometimes I have to keep cranking starter, stumbles to catch as if starving for fuel. A/C was on first two times but also happens with A/C off. Research online reveals an open recall for the fuel tank on the 300C model with a 5.7L or 6.4L engine. Problems described on the 300C model are nearly identical to what my 300 Touring is experiencing. PCM replacement does not correct problem. Some noticed it happening only with a full tank. Stopgap measure is to only fill no more than 3/4 tank. I am currently testing this idea. The safety issue is significant and twofold; three times I have had one other adult…”

“While I was driving the car, the car stalled on me at a stop light, its a safety risk and could caused an accident at anytime, yes its available for inspection. Yes the problem has been reported and inspected by auto shop and dealership. No warning lights it just randomly happened while driving, while I was driving the check engine light popped up then disappeared and 2mintues later my car power was reduced and car shutoff at stoplight.”

“The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300C. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds during traffic congestion, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power and stalled. Upon restarting the vehicle, the vehicle hesitated but seemed to return to normal functionality. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 200,000.”

“While driving my Chrysler when I stop at a red light or stop sign the car will simply stall out and die so I put it back in park and recrank it and sometimes it'll die immediately after that and sometimes it'll wait till the next red light or until I'm making next stop. And when the car is in park it'll stall out I'll simply have to crank it right back up sometimes it'll stall out immediately after that and sometimes it'll run for a minute or two and then stall out. But as long as I got my gas my foot on the gas while I'm breaking at the same time it won't die”
