36 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2007 Chrysler 300

Failure Date: 06/03/2008

My Chrysler 300 is 1. 5 years old with less than 18,000 miles on it. It has been in the repair shop (dealership) twice for major problems. This latest one is life-threatening. The engine suddenly just stops. The car immediately looses power and coasts to a stop. No warning. The engine dies and steering becomes very difficult. I just spoke to the service rep and he says they can't find anything wrong because the engine light doesn't come on. This car is a real hazard and could potentially cause a serious accident. I've filed a complaint with the Chrysler corporation but have not heard back from them. I will never buy another Chrysler product.

Failure Date: 05/06/2008

Loses power while driving, engine light comes on. Happened multiple times. Dealer replaced several sensors. Problem repeated. This time replaced the "speed sensor". Seems to have taken care of it (I hope). Chrysler seems to ignore all of these problems. I won't buy another Chrysler,for sure.
