“For the past 1 1/2 years my car has been turning off when the car is idle or stuck in traffic (barely using any gas). It has also happened while driving and while in stop and go traffic and making turns. No indication of turning off, steering just locks up but car starts right back up. I took my car somewhere last year and they said no codes came so they couldn't help me.”

NHTSA complaint #10480194, filed 2012-10, 110,000 miles

“I purchased a 2007 Chrysler 300 at the end of 2012 with 24k miles on it. Since purchasing it the car has continued to stall - while in motion at speeds of 55 MPH and while under 10 MPH. I have invested a considerable amount of money over a two year period trying to remedy the problem including the replacement of the purge valve in december 2014. The car stalled again today while driving 50 MPH, and was difficult to restart.”

“The fan broke and flew into the radiator, puncturing it. This caused the car to lose power and die while I was driving. Thankfully, I had just turned onto a street and was able to pull over to the side of the road. If it had happened while I was on the highway, it could have been extremely dangerous. Apparently, Chrysler has recalled the fan assembly on some of the models, but not on mine. It looks like this needs to be done to prevent others from having the same problem.”

“Per three mechanics, the cooling fan and cooling pipe thermostat went out in the vehicle. As a result of these parts loosening, the radiator developed a hole in it. My car was leaking radiator fluid and stopped running unexpectedly. I had to have the car towed to a local repair shop, and decided to call around for a second, third, fourth and fifth opinion. Each mechanic diagnosed the problem and stated that there was a recall with these same issues listed with the same vehicle type and year. …”
