2009 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, MY CAR CUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. I CAN PLACE IT IN NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY START IT BACK UP. *TR

I HAVE REPLACED PARTS TO MY FRONT END THREE TIMES. THE PART HAS COST ME 125 PLUS LABOR EACH TIME. IM NOT SURE OF THE NAME OF THE PART, BUT U WILL KNOW WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE EVERY TIME U HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR FRONT END IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. AND I HAVE REPLACED MY THERMOSTAT HOUSING UNIT TWICE, IT LITERALLY MELTED TWICE! *TR

BROKEN ACTUATOR CAUSING RECIRCULATING DOOR TO MALFUNCTION. THIS ALLOWS THE WINDOWS TO FOG UP, HAMPERING VISIBILITY IMMENSELY. WINDOWS WILL NOT CLEAR REGARDLESS OF HEAT SETTING. *TR

GOT IN CAR TO DRIVE, DRIVER SEAT WARM (THOUGHT DUE TO PARKED IN PHOENIX SUN). BUT WITHIN 10 MINUTES UNBEARABLE HEAT DRIVER SEAT, NEEDED 2 PADS TO PROTECT. SEAT HEATER WAS OFF, NO LIGHT, BUT I TOGGLED SWITCH TO SEE IF HELP, IT DID NOT. CAR PARKED AT WORK 15 MINUTES AFTER STARTING JOURNEY. 2 1/2 HRS LATER PERSON IN PARKING LOT NOTED SMOKE COMING FROM INSIDE CAR, CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT. THEY NOTED INSIDE FULL OF SMOKE AND GLOW UNDER DRIVER SEAT. OPENED DOOR TO EXTINGUISH FIRE AND CAR BURST INTO FLAMES ALA THE MOVIE BACKDRAFT. ENTIRE INTERIOR MELTED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, I CHECKED AND FOUND MY FRONT TIRE LOOKED LOW. I WENT TO UNSCREW THE VALVE CAP AND IT KEPT TURNING, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THE METAL VALVE STEM WAS CRACKED AND THE SCHRADER VALVE WAS ONLY BEING HELD IN BY A BURR FROM THE CRACKED METAL STEM. AT THAT POINT I WAS UNABLE TO PUT ANY AIR INTO THE TIRE. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE SCHRADER TO JUST BLOW OUT OF THE STEM AND CAUSE INSTANT DEFLATION OF THE TIRE IS WHY I AM REPORTING THIS. THE METAL STEMS SEEM TO BE CHEAPLY MADE. *TR
