Fuel/Propulsion System · at 90,000 miles · reported Jul 18, 2019
After filling gas tank ( Full) the car stalls for the first couple of miles. Then stop shortly after. This is happening more and more. There was a recall for the 2005-2006 models with the 5.7 and 6.1 liter engines, but not for the 3.5 liter that I own even though I have found through the chrysler forums this is a problem for many of these model ( 2005-20006) chrysler gave a life time warranty to the 5.7 and 6.1 liter models , but not mine. Even though this is the same dangerous problem as those vehicles.

Shifter will not come out of park unless you pull console apart and physically push the spring under the front of the shifter with screwdriver. They have a recall on if not this part a very similar part between the years 2005-2007 which this clearly falls into but is VIN specific and they claim doesn't pertain to my vehicle. Funny it is bypassed identically to the people who the recall does cover. Clearly a known flaw by the amount of people complaining about it but they won't do anything. Car is stationary when this occurs.

I can no longer fill my gas tank to the "full" level , if I do, my car randomly stalls out while driving or making any kind of turn, with out any warning or notification in the dash board . Also if I top off my gas tank the inside of my smells strongly of fuel , as it is leaking inside some how .

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 80,236 miles · reported Feb 21, 2018
After filling the gas the car will sputter and stall. I always use 91-93 octane fuel from the kroger fuel stations, and when leaving the last few times I've had problems getting up to speed without the car getting to speed or stalling. It will restart normally pretty easily other than yesterday when my wife was driving it, it kept stalling coming home, she parked it, and the next morning it refused to start. It took a while but after starting and running it a bit, it's running fine. Vehicle was recently in for checkup at 78900 miles (80k checkup) and has just over 80k on it now. I'm an adult…
