2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

CANNOT USE SIDE MIRRORS. THE MIRROR LOOKS LIKE IT HAS SOMETHING GROWING INSIDE IT. IT APPEARS TO BE A GLASS FAILURE. I CANT SEE CARS BEHIND ME USING THESE MIRRORS. *TR

WHEN I FILLED UP MY 2005 CHRYSLER WITH GAS ON JAN. 9TH WITH THE TANK JUST 1/2 FULL AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND IT KILLED ON ME. THEN I RESTARTED IT AND WITHIN 2 BLOCKS IT KILLED AGAIN LOSING ALL POWER TO THE CAR. I HAVE FILLED UP TWICE SINCE THEN, WITH THE GAS TANK BEING AT 1/4-1/2 FULL EACH TIME. IT HAS STALLED OUT EACH TIME, TWICE WITHIN 2 BLOCKS OF EACH OTHER. RIGHT BEFORE IT KILLS, IT CHUGS AND LURCHES AND THEN JUST QUITS RUNNING. THE LAST TIME WAS YESTERDAY, JAN. 18TH. THIS TIME I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND AS I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER 300C W/ 5.7L WHILE DRIVING @ APPROX 35MPH, VEHICLE WOULD DROP OUT OF GEAR AS IF IN NEUTRAL, CHECK ENG LIGHT CAME ON, SETTING P700 & P701 PLUS EGR PROB.
