Other fuel system problem on the 2007 Chrysler 300
1 fire 1 of the 10 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
When other fuel system problem gets reported
Owners of the 2007 Chrysler 300 report other fuel system problem at a median of 115,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 50,000 miles and a quarter after 115,000 miles, from 9 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 90,000 miles. It is the 13th most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 50,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 170,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 118,764 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
When the reports scatter this far, the mileage is telling you about how these cars were driven more than about the part itself.
0% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48,737 miles | 50,900 miles | 115,000 miles | 116,035 miles | 167,501 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 1 a fire is mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $300–$2,200 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 11 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2014, at a median of 700 miles, and latest on the 2015 at 160,000 miles.
By volume the 2006 carries the most reports, with 89; the 2007 has 10. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

2007 chrysler 300 with 43,684. Problem fuel cap leaking. Not covered under warranty. The dealership galena chrysler would not pay for repair. Call chrysler headquarters(ref# 19582516) said not a safety issue and I had to pay for the repair. The check engine light came on I took it to galena chrysler in fort myers fl. I had the same problem one year ago to the day, same dealership, said nothing wrong. I think fuel and vapors have been leaking for over a year with this car. I feel this is a major safety issue and should be looked into. I know it must be a problem, because no one from chrysler headquarters called me back or email. After 4 days in the shop I just had to pay for it. No matter how old the car safety problems must be covered by the manufacturer. How me people have to die until we address the problem? *tr
I just purchased my car in late april it is now november. I didn't notice the brake problem which is a vibration when I came to a stop, until a week after. I figured I probably need new brake pads. One of my least concerns. But last month I began to smell gas. I thought it was just the other vehicles around me or the location I was at. I looked under the car and there's was no leak. I kept doing this when I smelled gas and nothing. Last night november 6 2011, I filled up my tank to go out of town. When I was leaving to go back home from the long ride, the parking area smelled like gas! It was leaking from my car! About a quarter of gas leaked. This time I saw a puddle on the ground where the back passenger side would be. Not only was this embarrassing but I had my wife and child with me in the car that I had to take home smelling this as well as taking the risk of blowing up! We did not have any other way of getting home, that's why I had no choice and took the risk. Thank god we got home safe. This is just ridiculous. *tr
My car cuts off very frequently while driving. This has been going on for a few months now. We read that it could be the fuel sensor but I can have a full tank of gas or half tank and it still cuts off. It has cut off at the red light, green light while crossing the intersection, getting off the highway etc. We have brought in to places but they cannot find what's causing it to shut off. The car was brought from drive time and it's still under warranty so we asked drive time to allow us to bring it to a chrysler dealership but they refused and said their shops should be sufficient. We know that the feds are investigating chrysler for engine stalling but we have yet to have help with this vehicle. This is very dangerous and I fear for out or anyone life who are in this vehicle with us. Please help with this matter. *tr

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 10 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.

How common is other fuel system problem on the 2007 Chrysler 300?

What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
