Consumer Description

MY 2008 CHRYSLER 300 HAS LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 4 TIMES. AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT, I TOOK THE CAR IN, THE SERVICE EMPLOYEES AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IN ALL INCIDENTS, THE IGNITION HAD TO BE TURNED TO OFF, THEN ON AGAIN TO START. IN THE LAST INSTANCE, THE RPM WENT WAY UP TO 4000 AND STAYED THERE EVEN THOUGH SPEEDING WAS NOT INVOLVED. WE HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN ON AGAIN. THEN IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN LAST WEEK, AND AGAIN, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. LUCKILY WE HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS HAPPENING. I JUST HOPE THAT THE NEXT TIME, WHICH I'M SURE THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME, I DON'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS IN CAR. *TR
