Ref. NHTSA pe13016 "faulty fuel tanks" make: chrysler; model: 300 limited; component: fuel delivery system. Every time we re-fuel the car to the "full" level, the car hesitates and stalls. On two separate occasions, this stalling has resulted in an potential collision with another vehicle being avoided only by astute driver intervention. The first occurrence was in september 2015 and has consistently repeated during every refueling since. No research or attempt to have it diagnosed or repaired has been successful.
