Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2010 Chrysler 300

Car shuts off while in motion this has occurred at least 6 times.

While driving at 35mph with the ac on the car shut down. I was able to coast to stop and re-start the car after a few minutes. Several days later the car shut down again at 40 miles per hour. With no power steering the car was diffcult to get over to the side of the road. Car started again after several tries and I made it home.

One morning my husband was on his way to work around 6 am when suddenly the car shut off with no warning or indicator. The car was still under the manufacturer warranty so we had the car towed to the dealer where we purchased it (carmax). Upon further review we were told the engine blew due to sludge build up and they needed our maintenance receipts. Even after provided the documents for the last year they still refused to cover it under the warranty because Chrysler doesn't cover sludge build up. We were advised to research this problem by a shop that sells these 2. 7 liter engines because it was a common problem among these engines nation wide. Chrysler said they did not have enough complaints to issue a recall. Unfortunately they'll recognize this defect when there is a catastrophic pile up on the road and people lose their lives.
