They told me they think the battery got to hot and caused the fire. The vehicle will be with progress insurance garage. For inspection. If me or my kids were in the vehicle we would of been either burnt beyond repair or dead. No warning lights at all. No noises nothing it ran perfect. My insurance progressive is taking my vehicle today or tomarrow for inspection.

Started the car put it in drive pulled forward 5ft car completely shut off cpl mins later smoke was rolling out of trunk pulled back seat down seen there was a fire by the lock latch.

My dash gauges continues to drop to zero and then pick back up to normal and it does it over and over. I just got a diagnosis and it has code c1018 central gateway (fcm) right front wheel speed sensor circuit high-active. I have a full report of code on this vehicle.

The fire detector determined that something was on, which caused the fire. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The fire department extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed. There were no injuries. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to call the insurance company. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.

The transmission went out. It was fine then then lights started flickering inside and out and then when I turned the car off and tried to turn it back on it was completely dead. No lights or power at all. Had to get a jump start. Then when I tried to go it was revving up but wouldnt move and then all of a sudden jumped into gear real hard. It had significant loss of power and would get up and go. It's real slow from the start and it dangerous driving it because it will just rev up and not move then jump into gear very hard. It has almost thrown my car into the back of other cars because it jumps so bad I to gear all of a sudden. Then when you try to get out of the way of another car coming g it sometimes barely moves and it very dangerous. It has been stuck in 2nd gear ever since. It had a lot of loss of power. I had the transmission replace 2 times and both including the original are all stuck in 2nd gear. Also when I turn the car it makes a loud popping cracking sound by the wheels. Like it's going to break. Also going over speed bumps it's really loud and squeaky.

The car has only 92000 miles and maintained good. Since it was only 70000 miles the a. C stopped blowing cold air. It was diagnosed that inside the dashboard the evaporator is not working properly causing freon leak. And outrage repair of 2000 dollars will be the cost. This is a problem with many Chrysler's 300 2005-2010. Since that is a main issue why there is no recall on this part? it seems like that company knows about this issue from over a 10000 customers and doesn't do anything about it. On their products Chrysler guaranty that issue like this would not appear until vehicle reach at least 100000 miles. Living in state of florida this is safety issue when temperatures reach 120 f in the vehicle. Other issues include are fuel injectors and egr sensor causing the car to stop in middle of driving without no warning and it can cause serious accidents. I always support buying USA vehicles and we all need to contribute to our economy but if companies don't stand for their customers guaranty and quality everyone will purchase different vehicles with better quality.

My Chrysler 300 cuts off while I'm driving. It does this without warning. The first time I was driving down the street and came to a stop sign, I was unable to steer the wheel everything locked except for the brakes and gear. I push on the brakes and put it into gear I crank the cat up and was able to get it started again. It happened a few days later I was turning into the parking lot and it cut off in the middle of the street. I had to do the same thing. I had a mechanic look at it and have had things replaced on the car but still having the same issue. Just yesterday I was almost at the light and I lost power. I had to once again hurry and put it into parking and then restart the car. This issue scares me because I have a 7yr old daughter that is with me most of the time and this car doesn't have a set time when it does it. I have had the car for a little over a year. I am afraid that it may do this on the highway or cause an accident.

When I was driving all electronics shut off but the car could still drive. . So I tryed to turn my four ways on didn't come on I pulled over still no lights working turned my car on lights turned on and my four ways also turned on when I started the car back up.

This was the first time I have ever used my cruise control since I have owned my car. I was traveling on a freeway; all of a sudden my car started to lose control. The engine was racing to a high rpm and accelerating. Two warning lights came on immediately, it was difficult to steer, and the cruise control would not disengage even when hitting the brake. While I tried regaining control of my car I tried turning the cruise control off. It would not turn off. I hit cancel on the steering column and it still wouldn't disengage. Finally, I kept braking and pulled off the side of the road. My car, while I had my foot on the brake, continued to rev up. I took my foot off the brake, but the cruise control was still engaged, even with the cruise control light now off, and the r. P. M's continued to be high, so I took the next exit. I put the car in park and turned off the engine for 15 minutes. The two warning lights are electronic stability control and electronic throttle control. The car is still having problems and the cruise control comes on after 40 mph on its own and the warning lights come on.

Loss of vehicle control when this happens. These car actions seriously puts mein unsafe vehicle my mom, my grand kids in danger. And in danger.

Also, in 2009, I took car to dealer on kirkwood hwy in wilmington, DE. I told them that when the car goes above 60 mph, the esc light comes on, car slows down to an exact stop. This happens. . . As you guess it. . . . In the middle of traffic. Dealer says they haven't experienced it, in my car and through any complaints.

When the car starts, there is no station listed on the radio. All I see is red lines and the longer I drive that part ( channel indicator) gets hot. It looks like there is fire behind it. I'm afraid to drive it because it looks like it will start a fire. It cools down when I turn off the car. I started the car this morning (6/15/14) now there are only about 4 lines showing, but it still starts to get hot. I'm going to try to take the car to the dealer(heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram owings mills,MD. 21117 410-356-1800) which is about 10 miles from my house.

Warning lights and instrument gauges will go on and off and while driving at night the headlights went out also. This is a real safety issue and have read other complaints about the same problem happening. Our car was bought new and only has 18000 miles on it.

Electronic throttle control and tire pressure monitor system lights stay on and then the car shuts down, can't brake, the car shakes, it stalls and it seems to happen (each time starting in November) while I am driving on 476. I am lucky each time to make it to pull over and then all the system fails. I am able to start it again and then the same thing happens. I have taken it to auto zone, 2 mechanics and no one is able to locate anything on their diagnostics. Highland motors (where we purchased the car) never told us that the car was recalled for any issues, never gave us any information on the car, we were just almost killed a few times and decided to look up information on the car and found well over 100,000 complaints online for it.

We had purchased a chrsyler 300 in Jan 20,2007 we got the car with only 42 miles on the car since 2007 the car had been in the shop of the dealership four times. In may of 2007 we took the car in cause the a/c was not cooling at all. The dealership told us that we needed a brand new a/c compressor so we said ok but when they fixed it we had to pay 650 dollars cause our warranty would not cover it so we said what about the factory warranty they said no also so that one was time. Second one was in 2008 shifter cable busted and the dealer ship told us that the cable got hot and it busted ok we didn't pay for that but we had to pay for the new shifter they installed cause they said that the shifter was broken I think they broke it cause it was find when we had it. Third one was in 2009 the cars computer went out and the dealership doesn't know why but that it had caught on fire so we just paid our deductible so I was ok with that. So I remember telling my wife lets see what goes wrong with the car in 2010. But this was the worst coming home from driving about 50 mph and the car shuts off and the brakes lock in place but lucky I was alone and not with my family. So I called a wrecker to give me a boost but they couldn't start the car so we took it back to the dealership comes to find out we have a blown motor and they said it was caused by not doing oil changes how an that be if we bring it here to get the oil changes so he didn't know what to say but im already 61000 miles and my warranty people old republic don't want to fix so we saw the motor and it was cracked in half so our family mechanic said that the metal shavings was due to the oil pump went bad so nobody wants to fix but it would cost about 8000 dollars for a new motor so people careful on what u buy.

I bought this 2007 Chrysler 300 in 2008. It had approximately 86,000 miles on it. Before it reached 100,000 miles the problems had already started. First the abs and traction control lights and another light located on the right side of my panel came on. My car was locking me out at any moment. First I thought it might have been my fault but it happened twice to me while my car was running and my keys in the ignition!! well, I thought to myself, " I know I didn't hit the lock button before I got out of my car, so when it happened the second time I went home and sit in my garage and I sat and watched. All of sudden my car started locking and unlocking all by itself and on the outside with my keys watching this thinking "I was right"!!!! well not only was the car acting crazy, it started acting up when I pull out of any road like it didn't want to go, and I was thinking to myself, "I am eventually going to get ran over because my car wont go!!!! during these incidents the abs and the traction control lights would come on then go off and come back on again. I never knew what it was going to do. Certain times going down the road it would do the same thing and it was acting like the wheels was going to lock up!!! until this very day, 08-05-2014 it still has these problems. I wish I had never bought it and ill never buy another Chrysler or Dodge ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally made the call after 6 years of this crap and the lady I spoke to says, "there are no recalls on this particular car. Well Chrysler!!?? I wish you would buy this burden back and sell it for scrap!!! its been the biggest burden I have had ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there has ben more problems with this vehicle but so much has happened that you need to drive it to find out for yourself!.
