2007 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

WHILE I WAS AT A RED LIGHT TO MAKE A U TURN MY CAR WAS RUNING JUST FINE , I PROCEDED TO MAKE MY U TURN HALF WAY THROUGH MY CARS ENGINE COMPLETE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING OR KNOWLEDGE THAT IT DID DUE TO EVERYTHING ELSE WORKING JUST FINE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AT THAT POINT MY STEERING WHEEL GOT HARD AND I HAD TO PUSH IT OUT OF TRAFFIC. DID NOT FEEL SAFE THAT MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR THANKFULLY IT DID NOT RESULT TO ANY ACCIDENT OR INJURIES BUT IT COULD HAVE. AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL AT THE MOMENT.

WHILE SITTING IN A DRIVE THRU LINE AT A LOCAL FAST FOOD ESTABLISHMENT I HEARD A LOUD BANG, THEN STEAM CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR. PULLED OVER AND PARKED. CALLED MY MECHANIC TO COME CHECK IT OUT. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE FAN MOTOR BROKE/BUSTED AND THE BEARINGS WENT THROUGH THE RADIATOR. FAN SHOURDS WE'RE ALL BROKE OFF. I HAVE LESS THEN 100,000 MILES ON MY CAR.

CAME OUT OF THE STORE TO START THE CAR. IT WOULDN'T START. ENGINE MADE A COINS SHAKING IN CAN NOISE. HAD TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER, THEY ASKED IF IT HAD OVERHEATED, I SAID NO BECAUSE IT HADN'T SHOWN ANY SIGNS IT HAD. THEY SAID IT GOT SO HOT THINGS MELTED AND VALVE SEATS AND PISTONS WERE RUINED. I'VE READ ABOUT DODGE JEEP AND CHRYSLER HEMI 5.7S AND VALVE SEATS AND MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH NO SURE REASON AS TO WHY. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME DEFECT IN THE ENGINE ITSELF CAUSING THIS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY'S WON'T COVER CLAIMING BECAUSE VALVE SEATS AREN'T AN INTERNALLY LUBRICATED PART OR SOME BS REASON. NEEDS IMMEDIATELY LOOKED INTO I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MY CAR OVER IT!

CAR DIES RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, IDLING AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP, OR STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STALLED. LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY PART THAT IS MOLDED INTO THE 19 GALLON FUEL TANK BUT SAID MY CAR WASN'T COVERED. MY MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THE "ROLLOVER" VALVE IN THE TANK WAS INDEED FAULTY. HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER TWICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE FLATLY REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH THEY AGREED THAT MY CAR HAS A 19 GALLON TANK. I KNOW THAT CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE OVER 150K OF THESE FAULTY TANKS. MINE IS FAULTY ALSO BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR FOR NOW OUT OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY.
