I just replaced my fuel tank on a 06 srt8 300. Called the CARE line and the person on the phone acted as if they'd never heard of this before. After I politely gave her the STAR case pertaining to this issue, that just came out 4 months ago, she said huh....Chrysler still won't help me pay for my tank. Hopefully all of us who bought 800 dollar gas tanks can be reimbursed at least, much like they did with the shifter issue. I did fill out a complaint on that site recently
Stalling after re-fuel is finally being investigated
2
DETROIT -U.S. auto safety regulators are investigating complaints that the engines in three Chrysler models can stall without warning.
The probe covers more than 192,000 Chrysler 300C luxury cars, Dodge Charger muscle cars and Dodge Magnum wagons from the 2006 model year. The cars have 5.7-liter or 6.1-liter V-8 engines.
The agency says it has 54 complaints from owners that engines stalled while the cars were being driven. In all cases the stalling happened after the cars were refueled. Forty-eight of the owners said they had several stalling incidents, and seven said they had trouble restarting the cars.
The agency says the number of complaints has increased, with half coming in the last eight months.Investigators will check how often the problem happens and determine if a recall is needed.

02/19/2014 UPDATE: Your 2005-2006 LX 19 gallon fuel tank has a lifetime warranty
Chrysler is extending warranties on fuel tanks in more than 153,000 older vehicles over complaints of engine stalling at low speeds, the government said Friday.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday it is ending its investigation into 153,817 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Magnum vehicles equipped with 5.7L and 6.1L 8-cylinder HEMI engines after receiving nearly 300 reports that the engines may stall when the vehicle is stopped or traveling at low speeds.
The safety agency said the problem didn't represent a serious risk to auto
safety and said Chrysler's solution was adequate.
NHTSA's decision came after Chrysler and a supplier developed a solution to the problem and extended lifetime warranty coverage on the vehicles' fuel tanks, NHTSA disclosed in a document posted Friday.
NHTSA said the multifunction control valve fuel shutoff float integrated into 19-gallon fuel tanks can swell in a stuck open position allowing an overfill condition.
"This condition causes fuel to enter into the purge line which may result in engine stall after refueling. Chrysler's investigation determined that the problem was related to dimensional changes/swelling of the float when exposed to fuels with high ethanol content," NHTSA said. "Chrysler and its supplier, Stant, developed new fuel soak test requirements to address the condition and extended the warranty period on 19-gallon fuel tanks to lifetime coverage."
NHTSA said there were 299 unique reports indicating that the fuel system allowed an overfill condition after refueling, and the predominant failure mode identified involved stalling when stopped or traveling at low speeds.
"The condition that is causing the majority of stalling incidents in the subject vehicles occurs at a stop or low speed and allows the vehicle to be restarted immediately. The condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said.
