The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler 300. While driving 65 mph, a loud noise was heard coming from the engine. Also, the vehicle felt unbalanced while driving. The service engine and battery warning indicators illuminated. The contact pulled off the roadway, turned off the vehicle, inspected under the hood, and found nothing unusual.

The contact had recently purchased the vehicle and the dealer did not give her a key fob.

The vehicle was repaired. The contact mentioned that all four tires were also replaced.

Traveling at approximately 30 mph and the car stalled - it was not after a gas fill up as so many have reported with the 2006 model year. This is a 2008 300c hemi awd - this has happened at least 10 or 15 times since last November!!! had it back to the dealer - no codes or suggestions to fix. Read forums on line that said it could be the egr - bought one and replaced the egr but it just stalled again today. What is the problem with these hemis??? gotta get this problem fixed before someone gets hurt or killed!! action please.
On 2/27/2014 I was driving on the free way and my winshield wipers stopped working. It was very dangerous due to tha fact that it was pouring rain out, and I had zero visibility on the highway. I had to pull over on to the shoulder, where I waited approximately 30 minutes before I was able to get my wipers to work again. On my way home from work later that day, as I was driving on the freeway once again, my car completely turned off leaving me stranded in the middle of the free way. I was able to get my car started and get home safely , although I was terrified. Took my car to the dealer on 3/1/2014. Tech stated it was a bad wiper motor, part replaced and still wipers will not work. Replaced fuses andf relays as recommended per dealer tech, still wipers will not work I have spent over 500$ in these reapirs and still my wipers are not working. Now the dealer is saying that I have a bad tipm (totally integrated power module). However, I am unable to get my car fixed since the part is on back order. Apparently chrsyler has known about this problem for a while now since the part is on a national back order. I believe Chrysler should recall all vehicles with a defective tipm. The dealer has given me an estimate of 1200$ for relacing the tipm. It's very aggravating since now I must pay for a rental car for for who knows how long since not even dealers know when the part wil lbe available. I will never buy another Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep product again. After doing some extensive research, I have found that several models have this same issue.
