Loud Engine Noise Problems of Chrysler 300C

2006 Chrysler 300c. Car has 84,000 miles. Drove around today for a half hour. Parked car. Restarted car in 5 minutes, it made a horrible sound and car started shaking, ran rough and then died. Would only restart with foot on gas and ran very rough. Took it to firestone and they said that the valve/cyliner #5 dropped. Engine is shot, unless I pay to have it re-bult or replaced. Car is not even worth it. Already had to have a re-bult transmission on car at 68,000 miles. Car is a joke and so is Chrysler, never buying another one of their products again. Oil was changed regularly. Horrible manufacturing in this car, from engine to trans to gas tank issue to electical. Car is a lemon.

My wife was taking our two kids to school when the car made a horrible noise when first trying to start the car early in the morning. I had it towed to my mechanic where he found that the cylinder valve seat fell off the cylinder head and fell down into the piston causing severe damage to the valves and piston. Replacing the engine for $8000 was an option, however you are replacing it with the same type of engine that could potentially replicate the problem again. After researching this seems to be a manufactures defect of this engine for 2005-2006 Chrysler 300 c. This happened 4 months after my warranty expired.
