The first incident happened 3 days after purchasing our 1999 Chrysler 300m, while driving the engine just stopped running, that meant that everything stopped working the steering, gas, etc. And then I found that if I don't warm the car up for about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes it will stop and while warming the car up it will stop at least 3 times in the process. My friend also has a 1999 Chrysler 300m and hers recently started doing the same thing. I think this a very dangerous thing that happens while driving. It could possibly cause a serious accident. It has to be something wrong with these particular cars and Chrysler should do something about it.
