Consumer Description

AFTER FUELING UP MY CHRYSLER 300C, MY CAR STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN (APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES AFTER FILL UP). LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK AT THE TIME, SO I WAS ONLY GOING 5-10 MPH. UNFORTUNATELY, THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FROZE AND I WAS UNABLE TO PARK THE CAR, SO THE CAR WAS RESTING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF OTHER CARS DRIVING IN THE LOT. ALSO, I CAME TWO INCHES FROM HITTING A TREE SINCE I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR AWAY FROM ANY OBJECTS IN MY PATH. THANK GOODNESS THE BREAKS STILL WORKED. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER APPROX. 10 MINUTES OF RESTING THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT, THE CAR RESTARTED WITH A "POP" NOISE. ONCE WE GOT THE CAR STARTED, I WAS ABLE TO PARK IT IN A SAFE SPOT. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS AND IT REALLY HAS ME FREAKED OUT TO THINK THAT WE COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SHOULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY, THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN, MYSELF AND ANY OTHER INNOCENT PERSON ON THE ROAD HAS ME CONCERNED. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, AND I NEVER TOPPED OFF THE TANK. PLEASE RECALL THE FUEL TANK ON THESE CARS AS THEY ARE NOT SAFE. ALSO, PLEASE INCLUDE THE 2005 YEAR IN YOUR INVESTIGATION. *TR
