Description of the problem | I have a 2006 chrysler 300c bought it new and never had any problems until 2012 when we were traveling for the holidays and stopped to refuel. After filling the tank we started the car and proceeded to drive, the car started bucking and then would shut off. It did this twice before it stopped and then drove fine for the rest of the trip. It did the same thing on our way home after filling the gas tank but after doing it several times it drove fine for the rest of the trip. Once home the car drove fine until i filled it up with gas and the problem started again. It bucks and then stalls, sometimes it will start right away and other times i had to let it sit a while. This has happened in the middle of an intersection, at a stop light and while just driving along. This is scary as well as dangerous because not only does it stop anywhere which could cause another car to hit you, the steering wheel locks and on one occasion i almost hit another car because i couldn't steer out of the way during a turn. Took it to the dealership and was told i need to replace the gas tank gave me info about cannisters and vapors and not being something that is serviceable. Of course it's going to be expensive but this type of problem is a danger on the road could lead to a serious accident. |
