I own Chrysler 300 2010 keep it well maintained. Past few weeks it has been running poorly hesitant to start. Though it may need new battery. 61000 miles. Fri 11/4/2016 driving on interstate I-93 engine seized!!!!!! no warning. No oil light. No engine lights went on nothing. L almost got killed on highway!! towed it to service station that was 200 miles away from home. Have extended warranty. Called Chrysler and they said I have to tow it to dealership to determine if it is covered. . . . Here we go. There has been at least 2800 complaints against Chrysler engine failures due to oil sludge due to defective engines. There is a pending class action lawsuit vs Chrysler 2. 7 lite v6 engine. Looks like I might have to head down that road. I cant afford a 6000. 00 repair!!!!.

My 2005 300c has been stalling since January 2014, I later found out due to a faulty fuel tank. I had multiple instances of stalling and engine shuttering hard, and very hard restarts almost getting t-boned two times during the stall and restart process. While on the waiting list for a new tank, my hemi engine blew up costing 6k for a new motor. This engine was meticulously maintained with records, I called Chrysler and asked their engineers to investigate "if the engine failure could have been caused by the tank hydro locking". After many calls to unhelpful people, some of whom did not even know about the tank issue, the supervisor refused to escalate my request to engineering and summarily closed the case, in spite of his employee first telling me to prove it and helping me get a tear down quote from the local dealer for a root cause analysis. So now they say even if I prove it, they will not investigate if tanks are the cause of engine failures and they closed my case. I think it is doubly unsafe if the bad tanks are also blowing engines, and it is bad corporate behavior to deny a link but refuse to have the engineering dept. Look at the possibility of a linkage. The outright refusal to acknowledge the issue or assist even if/when I prove that the tank caused the engine to blow, is beyond unethical and I request that the link between bad tanks and blown engines be investigated by NHTSA and service bulletin issued, and other appropriate measure to mitigate this.

The 2005 Chrysler engine failed without warning on the interstate in the middle of heavy traffic . I lost all engine power possibility facing a steering lock down without the capacity to steer the vehicle off the interstate. After prior engine internal maintenance and regular oil changes the engine still failed placing my family lives in jeopardy. I was able to steer the vehicle with more effort to the roadside safely. The Chrysler 2. 7 liter engine according to manufactures and consumers reviews is an ongoing problem, could lead to the safety of drivers on the road check it out for yourself. This engine is prone to break down and should be reviewed for safety reasons , thank god I was not killed on the highway I had no escape, I could have been rammed from the back of the vehicle or if I or my family were foolish enough to get out of the vehicle we could have been instantly killed.

While driving 50mph, car starting making a knocking nose, then the car stopped. Car was towed to the mechanic. Engine failure "lock up motor" was the diagnoses. The oil in the vehicle was routinely changed. Just had a full tune up 4 month prior to the engine failing.

06/25/2013 vehicle stalled at 60 mph, complete engine failure forcing me off road. 3485 miles on new vehicle towed to dealer, stated repaired gear ratio, test drove 25 mi and corrected problem. 07/18/2013 4000 miles on new vehicle driving home from dinner with 2 and 4yr old children in backseats, 60 mph car stalls, complete engine failure once again. Almost rear ended by passing driver while attempting to shoulder vehicle.

At 89,000 miles my 2006 Chrysler 300's engine failed. I purchased this vehicle new and kept up with all required maintenance including oil changes which I have documentation for. The vehicle's engine suddenly failed while traveling at highway speed in November 2011. No vehicle should fail at such a low mileage. I was amazed at how many other people had the same issue as me when I researched this issue. I hope Chrysler decides to take ownership of this issue and fix all problems for the good of their customers.

Engine failure on highway due to sludge. I have all proof of timely oil changes. Chrysler does not want to take responsibility.

I have a 2006 Chrysler 300, my engine started knocking, I had my vehicle towed to the nearest dealership were they informed me that I have sludge in my engine and there is nothing else that could be done until I provide maintenance record, the blame was placed on me, the consumer. I was told that I neglected my new vehicle that I owe 32k on. How crazy is that. The car was 10 months old at the time I took it to the dealer for repair and also had a oil change the day of my car being towed to the dealer for repair. My car gears are not shifting properly, and my engine at 21,000 miles should not be sludged even after the oil changes were done on the vehicle. Chrysler along with the dealership refuse to repair my car and the recall. They told me since I was unable to provide documentation of my oil changes that my repair is not covered under the manufactures warranty. I advised Chrysler that surely they would understand that if I have 3500. 00 wheel on my car that surely they would know spending under 25. 00 for an oil change is not a big deal. I have the 2. 7l engine that is known for sludged engines and catastrophic engine failures. I plan to rent a bill board on one of the major highways in my area to advise consumers beware of the 2. 7 liter engines. I plan to use the local media, newspaper and picket the Chrysler plant and dealership in my area. I was told to come pick up my vehicle after they have had my car for over a month because I will start being billed for storage charges. I advised him that I refuse to pick up that vehicle until the repairs and recall has been done. The car is consider a safety hazard and still shows an incomplete recall.
