HAVE LEASED MY CHRYSLER 300 C FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A RANDOM STALLING ISSUE WHICH HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE CONDITION BUT DID RE-FLASH THE PCM WITH A DRIVEABILITY UPDATE. VEHICLE JUST RECENTLY STALLED WHILE TURNING LEFT ONTO A MAIN ROAD. THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC LANES AND I WAS NEARLY HIT BY TWO VEHICLES WHILE TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR RESTARTED AND I PROMPTLY DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I JUST RECEIVED A CALL THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT ARE INVESTIGATING FURTHER. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE AND AM CONCERNED THAT I MAY BE INJURED OR INJURE SOMEONE ELSE IN THE EVENT THAT THE VEHICLE STALLS IN TRAFFIC AGAIN. *NM
