2008 Chrysler 300. Consumer writes in regards to loss of engine power while driving and parts not available to complete recall. Also, the front strut arms needed to be replaced.
At all speeds the front end would rattle, took to authorized dealer they replaced shocks,stabilizer etc. This did not fix the problem. I contacted the same dealer and they explained that they have had a lot of trouble with the 300 front ends and to bring it back and they will re evaluate the problem. I feel that the front clip is loose.
