Engine: “My vehicle stalled while traveling on highway after filling fuel tank. This problem has happened at least 3 times in the past and is very dangerous. Thank god it was a sunday afternoon and traffic was light. I have read on line this is a familiar issue. Why isn't anything being done about this???”

NHTSA complaint #10550327, filed 2013-10, 89,300 miles

Electrical system: “My car stalled on a stop light twice last november 2014 and january 25, 2015 after I fill up my car. I turned off the car and then turned on the car again and it drove. For now it is working but I'm afraid it will stalled again while on the road.”

NHTSA complaint #10679684, filed 2015-01, 79,000 miles

Air bags: “Driving west on rt 20 in granby ct, passing through intersection on a green light, was struck head-on by another vehicle, both cars were totaled & towed away. On the other drivers' car, all of the air bags deployed, there were no injuries, while on our Chrysler 300, none of the air bags deployed, causing injury to left elbow & right shoulder. Lack of air bags deployment may have been a good thing since we subsequently received a recall notice for the drivers' air bag inflator/detonator defects causing severe injuries & deaths.”
