The answer is a class action lawsuit against the manufactory and Chrysler for lemon cars. The dealership does not know how to solve the problem. Lawsuit time!

My car is a 2018 Chrysler 300 and it’s turning of on a stoplight. I got it with zero miles. Currently on my 2nd year and 37k miles. I took it to the dealership but they say it’s nothing wrong with it.

Last week I rented a Red Chrysler 300 from Budget Rent a Car. Very early today,12/15/19,this car stalled;shut off after I fully Fueled it. The window wipers came on,the dashboard stated:"If I attempt to drive car before required service,the car may permanently stall",then car completely shut off for 2O minutes. After 2O minutes,the car icon stating:"push brake and push start button to start car" came on. Then I was able to drive home.I thank God,because I live in Brooklyn,New York & car broke down in Riverhead,NewYork(85 miles?) from home on semi desolate County Route 85.

I have a 2006 300c. Was having all of the issues stated above. Mine stall, jerk and cut off while driving. Read lots of comments and ended up doing 3 things. 1. Replaced (1) by solenoid and had the other 3 cleaned. 2. Changed the spark plugs back to oem champion. 3. Cleaned throttle body. So far so good. If I have anymore issues, I'll come back here if not it means all is well.

Why does my 2005 Chrysler 300 stop shut down when I'm at a red light

It's the cars computer (brain) causing these issues. Ran into all of these problems and then some. Either needs to be replaced or refurbished. I hope it helps for anyone with this issue. Also, if your key is too worn or remote is damaged...it's a good idea to get a replacement as that can also cause issues with car stalling out and can eventually kill your starter. Trust me I know and yup...found out the hard way. This car hates me. I named her Beastie. I feel it's fitting. Thanks for the car Ron.

I’ve just experienced this. Change all the spark plugs, spark plug wires and all the coils. That should work.

@t8knitez set up an appointment with the dealer. Your issue is related to a faulty gad tank that is cover under an extension to the manufacturer warranty. Meaning you don't have to pay anything

We have had the same exact thing happen. We've owned a 2006 Chrysler 300C since new, it' only has 70,000 miles on it. No problems with it at all until recently shutting off but always starting back up. We started putting only non ethanol gas in it and the problem didn't happen again. My husband told me he put the cheap gas in the other day at Costco and it happened to me today. We will see if it happens again after this new tank of fuel.
