What owners wrote

When I fill my gas tank, the car hesitates and stalls for the first 5 to 20 miles on local streets. It happens whether I fill to the automatic shut off or the station "tops off" the tank. After this happened 4 or 5 times, I started to fill the tank to 75% and now it does not happen. It was very scary and unsafe to stall like that. I saw the investigation into the other 2006 chrysler products and my problem is identical. My dealer had no idea what was wrong with the car and they suggested filling it to 75%.

This is not a complaint, but info for other chrysler owners with the fuel fill/stalling problem. We just received a letter from chrysler, telling us they have issued a lifetime warranty on the components causing this problem. We made an appointment and had our 2006 300 fixed in 2 days! The fuel tank and internal valves were replaced after removing the exhaust and driveline. The job took 5-6 hours and we were not charged a cent! The car is again running very well without stalling. Thank you, chrysler!
