general problems of the 2007 Chrysler 300

My car was parked at my house last nite and I came home to fire department at my house extinguishing my car that was engulfed in flames. The fire department said it was electrical fire. 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.

Engine constantly leaking coolant from multiple areas on the engine. Have had to constantly get it repaired at least once a month. Also have had constant cylinder misfires, fuel injector system keeps going bad.

I bought a 07 Chrysler 300 at 126k. I had just got an oil change like a month before and radiator clean. One day I'm driving and then I parked and then I crank it up and it just starts making noise out of no where. So I cut it off and on and it's making clacking noise. I didn't have no lights on when I bought the car 3 months ago and it still doesn't have a light on. It just locked ?? up on me out of no where. I didn't even get a chance to enjoy my car. I only had it 3 months and my motor locked up on me with no warning ?? no lights. I been reading and I see they been saying something about the oil pump going out in Chrysler motors. Now I hear they don't even make my size motor no more. U have to buy a remanufactured or rebuild one. That's alot of money I just spent to get it and now I got to pay the same amount I paid for the car for a motor because the oil pump went out without a sign or warning or light. I'm out of $5,000 and I gotta pay another $5,000 for motor. That is not right. I wish Chrysler would do something about this. That's alot of money gone down the drain in 3 months and I kept it clean and running. My oil ain't even turn color yet. It's still clear. My car been sitting down going on a whole year.

I have a 2007 Chrysler 300 and I've had it for a little over a year. I admit I do drive frequently but I keep my vehicles in great condition. I have 52,000 miles on my car and my engine has gone out. How it happened I believe it had to be a lemon from the start,sad to say I don't want to pay for a new engine and I don't have an extended warranty . I wonder what possibly can I have done about this.

My husband is in the military, therefore we are stationed in new orleans, la. On may 25, 2008 we had a terrible rain storm in the city. We live in base housing so we park our vehicles in a parking lot. At about 5:00p. M. The end of the parking lot were my 2007 Chrysler 300 limited was parked begin to flood with water. My husband went out to move the car from the before the water got to high. At this time there was approximately 3 inches of water on the ground. He backed the car out of the parking space to move it. One of the neighbors was coming the parking lot at the time and forced my husband to drive out into the street and re-enter the parking lot. As he drove out into the street, I noticed that he immediately stopped. I went out to see what was wrong and he told me the car shut-off. A couple of our neighbors helped him push it out of the street into the parking lot. Not sure what was wrong we called out insurance and they sent out a tow truck to get the vehicle and take it to a near by Chrysler dealership. The dealership called on Friday to let us know that the vehicle sucked up water through the air intake and hd=ydrolocked the engine. After doing some research we found out the air intake for this car, and its counterparts the Dodge charger and magnum, are located on the bottom of the front bumper approximately 20in. Above the ground. I have researched this issue and have been amazed how many people have had this same problem because the air intake system is poorly designed. Chrysler needs to own up to this design flaw and take responsibility for the problems it is causing. I watched numerous other vehicles drive down that street that day, some at a much faster rate than my husband, and they had no problems. This is really a bad design. Chrysler needs to recall all 2006 and 2007 Chrysler 300, Dodge magnum and Dodge charger. Our insurance should not have to pay to have my vehicle repaired for a poorly designed system. I hope to here from Chrysler soon!.
