“Driving down hwy at 65 MPH and car stalls no light to warn. All of a sudden no control over shearing not knowing car was off. Pulled over reatart car to only have in limp mode. Happened twice. Car also says throttle body code. Changed throttle body still wont go over 5 MPH now. Unable to tell what wrong. After 4.mechanics..I give up. Chrysler should fix this from what I understand this is a huge issue with other 2005 Chrysler 300 owners.”

It went into the limp home mode. I had to pull to the side and restart the car and it kept doing the same thing. My husband took it to two Chrysler dealerships in which one person said that he had the equipment to analyze the problem and fix it.
